N-A-A Chapter 1920 The Emperor Awakens
Chapter 1920 The Emperor Awakens
Zhou Shiyue didn't say anything urgent at all, just rambled on about this and that, like they were having a casual chat.
Lu Zhaoling secretly rolled her eyes.
Are you worried that I'll look at the Crown Prince's face?
This was the only reason she could think of in the end.
They have now arrived at the Emperor's palace.
Zhou Shiyue stepped down from the palanquin and reached out to grab her hand. "Yes. Master won't let you see it."
Now, besides admitting this reason, what other excuse will he give?
The Empress had previously stated that her marriage was originally to the Crown Prince, and he hadn't forgotten that.
But he won't show it, otherwise wouldn't he be seen as a petty, jealous person?
He denies it.
However, the reason Lu Zhaoling mentioned does indeed account for half of the reason.
"When you go in later, you don't need to see the Emperor. Let Master and Junior Brother Yin see him."
Zhou Shiyue led her into the palace, whispering to her, "Especially Junior Brother Yin, his status is special, it's fine to let him go."
Yin Yunting is now the one in their sect who is least afraid of having his lifespan affected.
After all, half of his destiny was originally the judge's.
Therefore, they had already made preparations for this trip to the palace, intending to entrust the fate of the Emperor or the Crown Prince to Yin Yunting. Even Yin Changxing had the same plan.
"I understand," Lu Zhaoling said with a hint of helplessness. "My master and junior brother have already told me this eight hundred times before they entered the palace."
If it weren't for the fact that today's events were quite important and her absence wouldn't be appropriate, they probably wouldn't have wanted her to come to the palace.
Lu Zhaoling kept telling herself that after entering the palace, she had to keep her eyes to herself and not look around indiscriminately.
The old Duke and others also came in.
This time they finally saw the emperor lying motionless on his dragon bed.
Although they knew before that the Emperor might be seriously ill and had not woken up, they still had many wild guesses before seeing it with their own eyes. Now that they saw it with their own eyes, their hearts sank.
"What exactly is wrong with His Majesty?" The old Duke was the one who worried about His Majesty the most and longed for His Majesty to wake up.
Seeing the emperor, who now seemed to have no breath left, looked pale and sickly, and had obviously lost a lot of weight, his eyes reddened.
"Isn't this the work of that so-called Master Yu?" Grand Secretary Meng said in a deep voice. "Your Majesty is also confused. The Great Zhou has always maintained close ties with the First Mystic Sect. The First Mystic Sect has not been seen in recent years, but Princess Jin has already warned that there are many evil cultivators nowadays. How could Your Majesty keep such a person by your side without investigating the matter thoroughly?"
"Your Excellency Meng is mistaken."
Grand Secretary Shu also spoke up, "Your Majesty is not a member of the Xuanmen sect. Evil cultivators are treacherous and cunning, and adept at disguise. How can Your Majesty distinguish whether they are righteous or evil cultivators?"
"It is precisely because the Emperor cannot discern right from wrong that he cannot easily trust and appoint such people to important positions," Grand Secretary Meng replied calmly. "And that's how trouble arose, isn't it?"
The two elders started arguing, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Yin Changxing stepped forward.
"Let me see."
Grand Secretary Meng fell silent, merely glancing indifferently at Grand Secretary Shu. The Shu family had its share of troubles; did Grand Secretary Shu think that just because Prime Minister Shen was imprisoned at the Dali Temple, their family would be safe?
Lu Zhaoling also shifted her gaze away from Elder Shu.
If everyone forbids her from looking at the Crown Prince and the Emperor, does that mean she can't look at other people?
Especially Elder Shu, the female ghost happy Hong from the mass grave wanted to ask her for help in taking revenge.
Zhou Shiyue said a few words to her, telling her to wait a little longer, that the Shu family would also be purged, and that when Grand Secretary Shu was dismissed, she might be able to take revenge herself.
Lu Zhaoling was sizing up Elder Shu just now to confirm whether he was the murderer of happy Hong.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed true.
Moreover, Elder Shu actually had many lives on his hands, but he also had something protecting him.
Now is not the time to settle scores with Elder Shu, so Lu Zhaoling only glanced at it before putting it aside for the time being.
Yin Changxing beckoned Yin Yunting to come forward.
"Yunting, take a look at the Emperor's fate," he said softly to Yin Yunting. "No need to look too deeply."
"clear."
Yin Yunting understood what he meant by "don't need to look too closely." Although he himself was of extraordinary status, he was still alive and well, and didn't want to die again so soon to become a judge, so naturally he had to be careful.
Yin Changxing then took the talisman, which turned into water.
“This is the Vitality Potion,” he said, presenting it to the attending physician and physician Tan. “You two can examine it.”
Physician Tan reached out to take it, and then he added, "Of course, all you can detect right now is a little cinnabar and a little paper pulp; you can't find anything else. As long as you two confirm that it's non-toxic, that's fine."
Cinnabar is slightly toxic.
But people nowadays probably don't understand.
Moreover, the quantity is extremely small, so it's not a problem.
The two doctors are highly skilled, but they certainly won't be able to find any hope of survival.
“This cup of talismanic water will wake the Emperor up first,” he added.
Doctor Fu took a silver needle and tested it in the talisman water, and immediately said, "No poison."
Just kidding, of course he believes in the people of the First Mystic Sect.
They're talking about Vitality Water, and he really wanted to snatch it and drink it all himself, okay?
This sounds like a good product!
However, Physician Tan was meticulous and carefully examined it.
He was checking slowly, and no one rushed him; they just waited for him.
Even Zhou Shiyue had no objections.
Tan Liang was simply fulfilling his duties, and given that he didn't have much trust in the First Mystic Sect and hadn't had much contact with them yet, no one could say he was wrong.
After he examined it, he said, "It is indeed just a little cinnabar and paper pulp water." He nodded to the prince.
Yin Changxing took the cup of talisman water and handed it to Lü Song.
Lü Song stepped forward, helped the emperor up, and carefully fed him the talisman water.
Yin Yunting looked at the emperor's face, then closed his eyes and calculated.
Everyone was looking at the Emperor.
A moment later, the emperor's eyelashes twitched.
"Your Majesty!" the old Duke blurted out.
It looks like the Emperor is really about to wake up!
"Please have the two imperial physicians take Father's pulse," the Crown Prince said.
Tan Liang stepped forward and immediately grabbed the emperor's wrist.
The Grand Master stroked his beard, showing no anger whatsoever.
He's just here to put on an act; he doesn't actually need to lift a finger today. Let Tan Liang watch if he wants; he's not going to steal it.
Tan Liang had taken the emperor's pulse before; the emperor's pulse had always been very weak, sometimes almost undetectable.
There were no signs of her waking up no matter what.
But now he was shocked, because the emperor's pulse was noticeably stronger.
At that moment, the emperor opened his eyes.
"His Majesty has awakened!" the Marquis of Runan couldn't help but exclaim.
The emperor opened his eyes with some difficulty.
Although it was difficult, I still managed to open my eyes.
