When Liu Shengxu returned to the inner room after making the call, Eunuch Liu asked anxiously, "Your Highness, have you found a miracle doctor?"

After speaking, he looked at Liu Shengxu with anticipation.

When Consort Xiao heard Eunuch Liu mention that a miracle doctor had been found, she looked anxiously at her son, grasped his hand tightly, and asked, "Xu'er, do you know any miracle doctors? When will they arrive?"

"Eunuch Liu, there is no miracle doctor. I have summoned Princess Xiyang to the palace. Perhaps she has a way to save Father Emperor. You should quickly send a reliable person to the palace gate to meet her. Make sure she is brought in safely." Liu Shengxu's eyes were filled with expectation and hope. This was his only hope.

"Very well, this old servant will immediately send someone to wait at the palace gate. When you see Princess Xiyang, invite her in immediately." After saying this, Eunuch Liu went outside the hall to make the arrangements.

Emperor Kang Sheng fell into a coma again after vomiting blood, and the three imperial physicians were frantically trying to wake him up.

"Imperial Physician Li, why don't you try your family's traditional acupuncture and see if you can wake the Emperor up?" Imperial Physician Jiang suggested.

"Yes, Physician Li, you once stood out from the crowd with your miraculous acupuncture skills!" Physician Qin echoed.

Physician Li looked at the two with a troubled expression and said in a deep voice, "His Majesty is in perfect health; how can we just try this on him casually?"

His words silenced the two imperial physicians.

After all, they had served these masters in the palace for many years, and they all knew the principle of "seeking stability rather than speed". No matter what, they had to protect themselves first, because their entire families were behind them. If they made a mistake, their entire families would be buried with them.

Just as the three were discussing how to wake Emperor Kang Sheng up, a slight cough was heard.

"Your Majesty..." Consort Xiao immediately noticed Emperor Kang Sheng's cough and rushed to the bedside.

Liu Shengxu also quickly approached the bedside, but he was a step slower than the imperial physicians.

"Your Highness, please allow me to take His Majesty's pulse first," Physician Li stepped forward and said respectfully.

Consort Xiao moved aside to make it easier for Imperial Physician Li to take her pulse.

"My beloved consort... I'm afraid I won't be able to stay with you any longer. You must take good care of yourself... cough cough... for Xu'er's sake... you must be strong," Emperor Kang Sheng said weakly.

"Your Majesty, please don't speak anymore. You will be alright. I can't live without you..." Consort Xiao said, weeping continuously.

"Liu Hui, cough... Quickly... quickly bring me a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone," Emperor Kang Sheng said weakly again.

"Your Majesty, you should lie down and rest! Let this old servant handle anything." Eunuch Liu said anxiously when he saw how weak Emperor Kang Sheng was.

"Eunuch Liu, just do as His Majesty says and make the preparations!" Consort Xiao said, then gently patted Emperor Kang Sheng's chest to help him catch his breath.

"Imperial Physician Li, how is my father? Has he improved?" Liu Shengxu asked anxiously after Imperial Physician Li withdrew his hand from taking his pulse.

"Third Prince, His Majesty...he..." Physician Li hesitated, unsure whether to speak.

At this moment, Eunuch Liu quickly brought out the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and moved a small table to the bedside.

"Your Majesty, you should speak first. This time, this old servant will handle it in your place!" Eunuch Liu said, feigning calmness, but in reality, his face showed deep worry.

With the help of Consort Xiao and Imperial Physician Li, Emperor Kangsheng sat up and leaned against the headboard.

"Liu Hui, cough...you write it down. After I'm gone...cough...Xu'er will take over the throne, cough...Consort Xiao will be made Empress Dowager." Emperor Kang Sheng coughed incessantly as he gave these brief instructions.

After explaining the arrangements for Consort Xiao and her son, he then made arrangements for the other princes.

Consort Xiao sobbed softly while trying to soothe Emperor Kang Sheng.

Just as Emperor Kang Sheng finished giving his final instructions and had Liu Hui affix the imperial seal, he suddenly felt like he couldn't catch his breath.

"Your Majesty..." Consort Xiao screamed.

"Father..." Liu Shengxu was also startled.

Physician Li rushed forward to check on the situation.

The concubines, princes, and princesses who had been waiting outside the Longkun Palace started making a fuss when they heard Consort Xiao's scream.

"We want to go in and see our father, please let us in quickly."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how are you? You can't stop us, we want to go in and see Your Majesty."

"You lackeys, let us in!"

"Why can the Third Prince go in, but we can't? We are also Father's sons, and we also want to go in and see Father."

.......

The noise outside grew louder and louder, giving Liu Shengxu a headache.

Just then, Ruan Mumu entered the palace accompanied by Qiao Tinghao, and was hurrying towards Longkun Hall with Xiao Songzi, the most trusted apprentice of Eunuch Liu.

Looking at the noisy scene, Ruan Mumu felt annoyed.

Seeing Ruan Mumu's reaction, Qiao Tinghao gathered his inner strength and roared, "Stop arguing."

Before anyone could react to who was so audacious as to shout in front of such distinguished people, Qiao Tinghao had already led Ruan Mumu into the main hall, guided by Xiao Songzi.

When Liu Shengxu saw Ruan Mumu walk in, he rushed to her anxiously: "Girl, come quickly, come quickly and save my father."

Qiao Tinghao stood directly in front of Ruan Mumu, preventing Liu Shengxu from grabbing her hand.

"Where did your usual composure go? Didn't you hear those people outside are about to burst in?" Qiao Tinghao said coldly.

"Right now, all I want is to save my father. I don't need to worry about them." With Qiao Tinghao's reminder, Liu Shengxu gradually calmed down.

"How is your father doing now?" Ruan Mumu asked as she handed the spiritual spring water to Liu Shengxu.

"The imperial physician just diagnosed that my father is dying," Liu Shengxu said, choking back tears.

After saying that, he took the spiritual spring water and quickly walked to the dragon bed.

"Imperial Physician Li, please help me get my father to drink this water. There might still be a glimmer of hope," Liu Shengxu calmly instructed.

Despite their best efforts, they still couldn't get the medicine down their throats.

"Your Highness, please help the Emperor take it!" Seeing the situation, Ruan Mumu knew that if he didn't get it down quickly, the Emperor would die.

"Girl, is there any way to get the Emperor to drink this water?" Consort Xiao asked, trembling.

"The Imperial Concubine swallowed it with her mouth."
