Although the Yongning Palace where the princess is located is named after the "palace", it is actually just a relatively independent palace, a small corner of the Jian'an Palace, the palace of the Great Zhou Emperor.

If you used to be ridiculed for posting on the Internet that "I drove around my newly bought manor for two hours", now you can laugh at them for not seeing the world.

As far as Zuo Ying knows, Jian'an Palace covers an area of 300 hectares, which is equivalent to three Zhongnanhai, 11 Kremlins, 40 White Houses, and more than 50 Blue Houses. If you can only run by horse-drawn carriage, let alone two hours, two and a half hours may not be able to go around in a circle.

However, thanks to the sound design of the roads in the palace, it is relatively convenient to travel between the palace rooms by horse-drawn carriage.

When I came to the Yishen Temple, there were two columns of inner servants and palace maids kneeling on both sides of the wide open temple door, all of them looked solemn, silent like a cicada, and saw Zuo Ying walking into the hall with a few palace maids behind him, and they just kowtowed to the ground one after another, not daring to make a noise. Several accompanying palace maids also knew that the emperor was sick now, and they couldn't go in to disturb the emperor's rest, so they all consciously stayed at the door of the main hall and waited, leaving only Scarlet Feather alone Zuo Ying, who was still a little floating in her footsteps, bypassed the screen at the door, passed through the well-furnished and spacious inner hall and entered the inner room, and came to the emperor's bed.

At this time, the emperor closed his eyes tightly, lying on his back on the agarwood bed with a coral screen behind him, motionless, apparently in a coma. His body was covered with a silk brocade quilt, the silk curtain hanging on the bed was pulled up from both sides with jade hooks, and several imperial doctors gathered around him frowning and brushing their beards, discussing something in a low voice.

In addition to a few palace maids on standby, there was also a woman kneeling beside the bed, dressed gracefully and with a gorgeous hairpin ring.

Seeing Zuo Ying walk in, several imperial doctors and palace maids immediately saluted, only the female dependent did not look back, as if she was not aware of anything.

"I've seen the Queen Mother." Even if it's just the back, Zuo Ying also recognizes this female dependent, she is the emperor's main room, the hostess of the Fengyi Hall of the main palace, Empress Li.

Empress Li was still not in a hurry to turn around, shrugged her shoulders and sobbed a few times, and then slowly wiped her tears with a handkerchief before slowly turning around.

She was in her early twenties, with a graceful posture and towering temples, and Fan Dai was already well-mannered, although her face was pale and her eyes were red, she could not hide the beauty of her face.

Empress Li almost didn't look at Zuo Ying, and then turned her head again, and said coldly: "Princess, please forgive the palace for taking care of Your Majesty, it is inconvenient to get up and return the salute." ”

Zuo Ying quickly remembered what was the reason behind her disdainful attitude.

At this time, the few imperial doctors stopped discussing, and a white-haired imperial doctor led by them stepped forward and saluted Zuo Ying and Empress Li: "Queen Mother, Her Royal Highness the Princess, please move to the inner hall, and Rong Chen will tell you in detail." ”

Everyone was about to move, when they suddenly heard the emperor's weak voice from the bed: "Don't avoid it...... Just say it here...... I want to listen to ......"

"Your Majesty!" When Empress Li saw the emperor wake up, she immediately threw herself on the side of the bed and reached out to touch his face. The face that was originally high-spirited and handsome seemed to have become so dry and haggard in the moment before fainting, which was sad.

"Yes, Your Majesty......" Several imperial doctors only promised and did not dare to disobey.

The elderly imperial physician at the head arched his hand and said, "Tell Your Majesty that Your Majesty's five organs are weak and exhausted, and your spleen is hot and swollen...... That's why hemoptysis and fainting......"

"What the hell is that? How should I be treated? Empress Li asked.

"This ......," fine beads of sweat began to ooze from the forehead of the elderly imperial doctor, "I am afraid that it is caused by your majesty's overwork and overwork......

"I'm afraid?! You've been watching it for a long time, and you're still not sure what kind of illness it is?! Empress Li stood up and pressed aggressively towards the imperial doctor excitedly, "You, do you want to hit the head?!" ”

The imperial doctors were so frightened that they fell to their knees, and they were busy kowtowing and begging for mercy: "The ministers are incompetent...... Please forgive the Queen! Please forgive me! ”

"I ask you...... Although the emperor was in low spirits, his mind was still clear, and he seemed to hear the words of the imperial doctor with reservations, "My illness ...... Can you cure ......?"

"Your Majesty!" Empress Li cried beside the emperor's bed again, "Your Majesty is blessed with all kinds of diseases, and you will soon be eliminated and recovered as before." ”

"You ...... Tell me honestly...... "The emperor doesn't know Empress Li at all, and it seems that he is consuming a lot of energy to say every word at this time.

"Back to Your Majesty," the old imperial doctor straightened up and said tremblingly: "The ministers are incompetent, I am afraid that Your Majesty is terminally ill, and the ministers are ......."

"What nonsense are you talking about?! Your Majesty is still in the prime of life...... You guys! You ......" Empress Li covered her face with her hands and choked up.

A good guy in his twenties, who is not in front of the computer for 20 hours a day, and is not working for Foxconn, how can he easily overwork and become terminally ill? Zuo Ying smelled a strange breath.

But no matter what kind of disease the emperor had, whether these imperial doctors concealed it or not, I am afraid it is true that he has already used medicine in vain, because to declare that the emperor has no medicine to treat, he will bear the risk of killing his head.

"Empress, pass on the order for me, pass on the order,......" the emperor ordered in a weak voice.

Empress Li stopped the mouth of the imperial doctor who was about to continue questioning, and hurriedly instructed a chamberlain next to her to do it. The chamberlain said yes and hurried out of the room.

"Ying'er." The emperor raised his weak eyelids and looked at Zuo Ying.

Hearing the emperor call himself, Zuo Ying stepped forward and knelt beside his bed.

"Ying'er, I ...... I didn't expect that I could have the great achievements of my father and Emperor Taizu, I just wanted to eradicate the traitors and help the society...... Hold the foundation of three generations of my Helan family...... Unexpectedly......" The emperor's body suddenly twitched, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ......" Empress Li lay beside the emperor and couldn't cry.

Zuo Ying stretched out her hand to wipe the blood from the emperor's mouth, she had long been accustomed to life and death on the road, I don't know if it was because of the kinship of the blood in her body, the moment her fingers touched the bright red and warm liquid, Zuo Ying, who was not sentimental, actually felt a faint heartache.

"Ying'er," the emperor relieved himself and continued to say with difficulty, "I know that you have always had no intention of being interested in the government and the throne...... Something that neither of your two brothers can accomplish...... I don't want to embarrass you anymore...... I...... I just hope you live well......" The emperor's eyes turned old, "I, this is to let Shang Shu Ling, draft, draft the edict...... Pass the throne to the Grand Master...... He won't embarrass you...... ...... for Master Xuan"
