Chapter 388 Visit

Concubine Wei stepped into the bedroom with an anxious look on her face.

The crown prince and the grandson of the emperor each had important matters to attend to. After confirming that the emperor was not seriously ill, they left. At this time, in the bedroom, in addition to the serving palace maids and eunuchs, there were Wei Yan, the imperial physician Zhou, and Zhang Yizheng.

As soon as Ling Jingshu stepped into the bedroom, her eyes met with Wei Yan's from a distance. Both of them felt sweet in their hearts, and soon moved away.

The emperor lay on the bed with his eyes closed, his face decadent, and a bit of the sadness and desolation of a dying tree.

Hearing the footsteps, the emperor still did not open his eyes.

Concubine Wei approached the bed and looked at the emperor like this, with some unspeakable sighs and pity in her heart.

The emperor, who had been in charge of the government for decades and was admired by everyone, was really old. Just like a tiger without sharp claws and fangs, being fooled and played with like a sick cat.

What's more hateful is that the one who fooled and played with him was his most beloved youngest son.

The other son who dared to harm him, although he was not favored by him, was also his blood.

There is no father and son in the royal family! This is indeed true!

"Your Majesty," Concubine Wei sighed softly, her voice full of pity: "I am here to see you."

The emperor did not want to open his eyes, let alone speak, and reluctantly waved his hand, indicating that Concubine Wei could leave.

Since Concubine Wei was here, she would not leave so easily, but sat down beside the emperor's bed.

"I have heard about the events of the previous dynasty. I feel really bad for the emperor. I wish I could take his place to save him from such suffering."

The gentle words of Concubine Wei soothed the emperor's pain like a gentle breeze and drizzle: "But now that things have come to this, it is useless to say more or think more. The most important thing now is to find out the truth of the matter. Whether it is Prince An who framed or Prince Yan who has ill intentions, the emperor will know it soon."

"The emperor is the emperor of the dynasty, the pillar of the court, and the pillar of the concubine and the sisters in the harem. I want to say something selfish. I only hope that the emperor will be healthy and live a long life. No matter how sad the emperor is, he must not torment himself. Seeing this, I feel like a knife is broken..."

At this point, her voice gradually choked.

The emperor was also deeply moved and finally opened his eyes.

What came into view was the beautiful, gentle and concerned face of Concubine Wei.

So many things have happened in the past two years. Whenever he was sad, it was this gentle and lovely woman who accompanied and comforted him.

Yes!

He can't just give up!

He still has the country to take care of, and he still has thousands of people to take care of. Without Prince An and Prince Yan, he still has his eldest son and eldest grandson. The Yang family has successors, what else can he be sad about?

The emperor took a deep breath and said, "You are right, I was confused. After hearing what you said, I really feel hungry."

Concubine Wei wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and smiled, "I will have someone serve the meal right away."

Eunuch Ding said hurriedly, "Your Highness, please stay here with the emperor. I will just run errands for these trivial matters."

The Concubine is indeed deeply favored by the emperor. After a few words of persuasion, the emperor was willing to eat.

With this favor, the position of the queen will be inevitable sooner or later.

...

The imperial kitchen quickly delivered the meal.

Concubine Wei personally fed the emperor, and several imperial doctors and female officials retreated to the side hall outside the bedroom.

Wei Yan approached a few steps calmly, and looked at Ling Jingshu calmly: "Female official Ling, I just saw that the imperial concubine's complexion seemed not very good. Is it because the queen has not slept well these days?"

Ling Jingshu calmed down and replied: "Yes! The imperial concubine has a poor appetite recently, and she has not slept well, and often wakes up in the middle of the night."

In fact, Concubine Wei eats well and sleeps well, and is in good health.

Wei Yan pretended to say "oh", and said with a worried look on his face: "This can't go on. When I have time, I will go to Lingbo Hall to check the queen's pulse."

Ling Jingshu slightly turned sideways and bowed slightly: "Then I will trouble the imperial doctor Wei."

She has a slim figure and a graceful side profile.

Wei Yan remembered the ecstasy of pressing her soft body under him last night, and his heart was moved. A strange light flashed in his eyes.

Ling Jingshu was startled by the eagerness in his eyes and glared at him inconspicuously.

Wei Yan resisted the urge to touch his nose and quickly calmed down.

As an imperial physician and the brother of Concubine Wei, Wei Yan had a close relationship with Concubine Wei and had frequent contacts with her. At this time, it was reasonable for him to ask a few questions to the female officials around Concubine Wei.

Imperial Physician Zhou and Doctor Zhang did not care. They chatted in a low voice and did not even look at her.

As for Xinyun...

Xinyun was such a smart person that he must have seen some clues a long time ago. He would never come to disrupt the situation at this time. He even walked away a few steps as if nothing had happened.

Of course, with so many people present, Wei Yan could not say anything out of line to Ling Jingshu.

The two of them talked about Concubine Wei's diet and daily life, talking seriously and expressing their feelings with their eyes.

When can they join hands in public?

The same thought flashed through their minds at the same time, and they couldn't help but look at each other. They sighed in their hearts.

They just hoped that the King of Yan would fall soon.

Without this hidden danger, they could open their arms and plan for a better future.

…

The King of An and the King of Yan were imprisoned in the clan house, which was a shocking event for both the court and the outside world.

Prince An was far away in the vassal state, and he had no capable people in the court. Moreover, it was a foregone conclusion that he would raise an army to rebel. Now that he was captured alive and brought back to the capital, even if he escaped the death penalty, he would still be punished for his life.

Anyone with a sharp eye could see that Prince An was on the decline.

Therefore, no one spoke up for Prince An.

Prince Yan was different.

When Empress Xu was still in power, the connections that she had worked hard to build for him, as well as the trusted party members that Prince Yan had cultivated, were unwilling to see Prince Yan fall. There were many people who spoke up for Prince Yan openly and secretly.

Judging from the emperor's favor for Prince Yan, as long as Prince Yan was cleared of the charge of assassinating the mastermind, he would be safe.

Moreover, Prince Yan was still so young. There were many officials who dared to bet on Prince Yan.

Among them was Lupin.

Although Lupin's official position was not prominent, he was a shrewd and smooth person. He also had some personal relationship with Prince Rong, who was in charge of the Imperial Clan House, so he prepared a generous gift and went to Prince Rong's house quietly at night.

Now the Prince of Yan was imprisoned in the Imperial Clan House, and no one was allowed to visit him. If he wanted to get information, starting from Prince Rong was of course the best way.

Unfortunately, Prince Rong did not care about the personal relationship at all and unceremoniously refused to let Lupin in.
