"Your Majesty, Xiao Xiazi is here. She said she has an urgent matter and needs to report it to you in person." Jianqiu hurriedly told the queen.

The Queen was practicing calligraphy leisurely at the moment and had no idea that the Emperor was ill. After hearing what Jianqiu said, the Queen became a little curious about why Xiao Xiazi came here.

"Go and ask him to come in!"

"Your servant pays his respects to the Queen!" Xiao Xiazi came in and bowed to the Queen first.

"Xia Zi, why are you here with me now instead of serving the Emperor?"

"Your Majesty may not know this, but the Emperor has suddenly developed a high fever tonight, and it was Master who instructed me to report this to Your Majesty."

The Queen was shocked when she heard this: "What did you say? The Emperor suddenly had a high fever? When did this happen? How come I didn't know? How did you serve the Emperor?"

Xiao Xiazi immediately knelt down and explained, "The Emperor has suddenly developed a high fever. Master was afraid that word would get out and cause trouble, so he kept it secret. He then asked me to tell the Empress. I hope Her Majesty will give her some advice."

"Has the imperial physician gone to check on the emperor? Is he seriously ill? Who is serving him now?" After a moment, the queen regained her senses.

"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Wen has examined the Emperor and said that he has been overworked and has caught a cold, but he is not seriously ill. Concubine Rong is now serving him." Xiao Xiazi answered carefully.

"I'm relieved that the Emperor is fine. Doctor Wen, though highly skilled, is still young. The Emperor's health is so important that we can't afford to make any mistakes."

"Jianqiu, tell Huichun to go to the Imperial Hospital immediately and ask the judge, Imperial Physician Zhang, to come over. Tell him that I'm feeling unwell and have him come to the Yangxin Palace. Remember, don't let anyone know."

"Yes, I will arrange for Huichun to go to the Imperial Hospital right away."

"Xiao Xiazi, please go back first and help me keep an eye on the emperor. I will be right here."

"Yes, I understand. I'll take my leave!"

"My Lady, I have already made all the arrangements, please rest assured."

"Let's go to the Yangxin Palace immediately!" The Queen took Jianqiu and several maids and eunuchs to the Yangxin Palace.

A moment later, the queen arrived.

"Eunuch Su, how is the emperor?" the queen asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Emperor has just taken his medicine and is now asleep." Su Peisheng replied.

"I'm going to see the emperor!" The queen walked in.

"Your servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen!" I stood up and saluted the Queen.

"Noble Concubine Rong, you are the one who takes care of the emperor. You have worked so hard. Please get up quickly!" The queen said with a generous and graceful look on her face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" I stood up and stood behind the Queen.

The queen looked at the sleeping emperor in front of her without saying a word, and was a little dazed.

Xiao Xiazi came in and quietly told Su Peisheng that Huichun, who was by the Queen's side, had come with Doctor Zhang and was waiting outside the door.

Su Peisheng had no choice but to go forward and ask the queen: "Your Majesty, Doctor Zhang is here."

The Queen came back to her senses and said, "Please ask Imperial Physician Zhang to come in. He can take the Emperor's pulse and discuss the appropriate medicine with Imperial Physician Wen."

"Yes, I know!"

Su Peisheng went out and personally invited Zhang Mi in.

"Doctor Zhang, could you please take a look at the Emperor? Is there anything seriously wrong?"

Zhang Mi stepped forward respectfully, his expression solemn and focused as he felt the emperor's pulse. He placed his fingers lightly on the emperor's wrist, concentrating on feeling the emperor's pulse.

After a long while, Zhang Mi slowly stood up, a glint of relief in his eyes, and said to the Empress, "Please rest assured, Empress, the Emperor is fine. This is because the Emperor has been toiling away for state affairs day and night, and the overwork has caused him to fall ill. But please don't worry, Empress. Just let the Emperor rest and recuperate for a few days, and he will be back to normal and will be fine."

"I'm glad that the emperor is fine. This will make me feel at ease. Thank you, Doctor Zhang. Together with Doctor Wen, I will take care of the emperor's health in the next few days. However, Doctor Zhang, please don't make this matter public." The queen reminded Zhang Mi worriedly.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I understand." Zhang Mi also knew the seriousness of the matter.

"Eunuch Su, I have to stay in the Yangxin Palace tonight to take care of the emperor. Please send someone to send Concubine Rong back. She still has to take care of Princess Roujia, so she can't stay here. The emperor is ill, and as his wife, how can I not be by his side?"

"This... Her Majesty the Queen?" Su Peisheng hesitated to speak.

"Empress, I know that you and the Emperor have a deep love for each other, but the Emperor has suddenly fallen ill. If you don't go back tonight, I'm afraid it will cause everyone in the palace to speculate. Please think twice." I explained the reason in detail to the Empress.

A trace of worry flashed across the Empress's eyes. She frowned slightly and said slowly, "Doctor Zhang, please tell me, what is the Emperor's current condition? Is his condition getting worse? If the Emperor's condition is serious, I cannot leave him even a step. But if the situation is not serious, there is no need to panic. After all, the affairs of the palace are complicated and need to be taken care of."

"Now that the emperor is ill, I have to manage all the affairs in the harem well and not let the emperor worry about these things." After saying this, she sighed softly, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and entanglement.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will take good care of the Emperor with all my heart. If the Emperor wakes up, I will send someone to inform Your Majesty immediately. I will make sure that Your Majesty will know the news of the Emperor's awakening in time so that you can rest assured."

"Your Majesty, what Concubine Rong said is right. At this time, Your Majesty should manage the affairs of the harem well and avoid any chaos." Jianqiu also came to persuade the queen.

"Well, I'll return to my chambers first. Eunuch Su, I'll leave the Emperor in your care and Noble Concubine Rong. If the Emperor needs anything, you must inform me. Do not conceal anything or be negligent. You must know that this matter is of great importance. It concerns the stability of our dynasty and the safety of the Emperor. We must not be careless."

"Yes, I will definitely follow the orders of the Empress and serve the Emperor wholeheartedly. I will never dare to make any mistakes. Please go back to the palace and rest in peace." Su Peisheng said in fear and trepidation.

The queen slowly turned around and left with Jianqiu, and her back seemed to reveal a hint of unspeakable emotion.

I watched them leave, sighed slightly, and then softly told Baojuan to go back and look after the princess.

I began to carefully arrange all matters, from personnel deployment to business handling, paying attention to every detail, striving to achieve perfection so that the Queen could not find any mistakes.

I stood quietly beside the emperor, my eyes fixed on his slightly haggard face.

I silently prayed in my heart that he would recover soon. After all, the glory and honor of my life, my life and property, all depend on the man in front of me. Naturally, I don’t want anything to happen to him right now.
