The next day, when Su Youning went out, the sky began to snow.

Outside the gate of King Yu's Mansion, Jixiang held an umbrella for Su Youning, while Ruyi stood aside with a burden, and both of them looked at Su Youning with red eyes.

"I really can't help you, when I enter the palace, you will go back to Su Mansion immediately, do you know?"

Ji Xiang Ruyi nodded with red eyes.

Su Youning smiled slightly, turned her head to look at the snowflakes falling from the sky, she reached out to catch one, and watched the white ice crystals melt in her hand.

"The snow period in the Southern Dynasty is really long!"

The white tiger stood beside the carriage with his sword in his hand, watching Su Youning come over and lift the sedan curtain.

Su Youning bowed down and got into the carriage, and the moment the sedan curtain fell, she said loudly.

"White Tiger, tell me as soon as I have news from His Highness."

"Yes."

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, Mama Xia, who was next to the Queen Mother, was already waiting there.

Two handmaidens with raw faces helped Su Youning get out of the carriage, one left and one right.

Mama Xia hurriedly greeted her, and when she saw Su Youning's pale face, she hurriedly ordered.

"Someone, help Princess Yu onto the sedan chair prepared by the Queen Mother."

The palace maid behind Mama Xia immediately helped Su Youning from the hands of the two maidservants.

"Thank you, Mama Xia, the two of you are waiting at the gate of the palace with the coachman."

Su Youning thanked her softly and arranged for the people who came to Yuwang's mansion, if she couldn't get out of this palace today, these people should also know to go back to the palace.

The two maidservants replied respectfully.

Mama Xia gave an order, and the eight eunuchs carried Su Youning to the Taicheng Hall where the emperor was located.

"Princess Yu, yesterday the county lord came to tell the Queen Mother about your situation, can you still hold it today?"

Su Youning supported his side face with one hand, leaned slightly against the sedan chair, and said softly.

"I used a medicated bath yesterday, and my body can still hold it, Mama, please rest assured."

When the words fell, Mama Xia suddenly smelled that Su Youning's body did exude a strong smell of medicine, and it seemed that she was in a coma.

"Since you can hold on, the old slave will take you directly to the Taicheng Palace, the emperor is there, and the queen mother is there."

Su Youning closed her eyes slightly, and said lightly.

"Yes, Youning listens to Mama."

In the Taicheng Palace, the emperor closed his eyes and lay on the dragon couch, and the queen mother sat in the outer hall with a calm face and a Buddhist bead in her hand.

At the same time, the imperial concubine and the rest of the concubines were waiting in the side hall.

The concubines sat in the first place, and the imperial concubine sat in the first place, and everyone had no intention of talking, and they were silent.

"Sister, can we come to see the emperor today? Besides, why didn't the queen mother let her concubines serve the sick? ”

Concubine Shu, who has always boasted of having a good relationship with Imperial Concubine Ling, couldn't help but ask, but her question hit the hearts of all the concubines.

A month ago, the emperor occasionally felt a cold, and the imperial doctor originally prescribed medicine and said that it would be cured in half a month, but who expected that the day before the half moon, the emperor never woke up after falling asleep, and heard that the emperor did not speak even if he opened his eyes.

In the harem, the imperial concubine temporarily acted as the assistant of the six palaces, and this matter could only be handled by the queen mother at the first time.

In order to stabilize the Southern Dynasty, the Queen Mother naturally would not spread the news of the emperor's serious illness to the outside world.

In the court, Prime Minister Lu Cheng, who was originally in power in the government and the opposition, also declined due to the loss of power in the East Palace, and the person who could be the regent was also sent to the border by the emperor at the beginning of the year.

In the harem, although there is a queen mother, the concubines are privately on par with the imperial concubine, after all, she is the most likely to ascend to the throne now.

Concubine Ling sat upright, listening to Concubine Shu's question, and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"The queen mother ordered that the concubines were not allowed to serve the sick, and the sisters obeyed the order, and now that the queen mother is in the harem, the sisters don't have to panic."

But Concubine Shu felt that serving the illness was a good opportunity to get close to the emperor, and if the emperor woke up when the illness was serving, it would be their blessing.

"Having said that, my sister acting as the harem should also think about the sisters, I don't see the emperor much on weekdays, and now the emperor is seriously ill, and the sisters are naturally worried."

"Bang!"

The imperial concubine slammed the tea cup in her hand on the table beside her, and raised her eyes to stare at everyone with a solemn face.

"The Queen Mother ordered, no one is allowed to say the four words that the emperor is seriously ill, and now the Queen Mother is in the Taicheng Palace, is it possible that you are all dying."

Concubine Shu hurriedly knelt down, her tone flustered.

"It's the concubine, it's the concubine who lost her words."

The Imperial Concubine snorted coldly, and raised her hand with delicate armor.

"Get up, now this front and back harem can't be messed up, you also have to be cautious in your words and deeds."

When the words fell, all the concubines stood up one after another and arched their hands.

"Yes."

Everyone responded in unison, and the sound of yes just reached the ears of Su Youning, who stepped into the Taicheng Palace.

Mama Xia didn't care about the concubines in the side hall, and respectfully said to Su Youning.

"There are concubines on the side hall who are worried about the emperor's safety, Princess Yu doesn't have to pay attention to it, please go to the main hall with the old slave."

Su Youning bowed slightly.

At this moment, Su Youning had already gotten off the sedan chair, Mama Xia took care of her, and the two of them walked very slowly, but she still blushed and looked out of breath.

Following Mama Xia into the emperor's bedroom, Su Youning saw the Queen Mother sitting upright at a glance, she slowly stepped forward with her skirt and knelt down to make a big salute.

"Youning has seen the imperial grandmother."

The Queen Mother obviously lost her previous closeness, her wrinkled face was full of majesty, and she raised her hand in vain.

"Get up."

Su Youning responded obediently, and when she stood up, she was unstable and almost fell, but fortunately, Mama Xia quickly supported her.

Only then did the Queen Mother see Su Youning's pale little face, and she also smelled a strong smell of medicine, and her face eased.

"What's going on? Sick yet? ”

Su Youning bit her lower lip lightly, lowered her eyes and pretended not to respond.

Mama Xia helped Su Youning and responded after listening to the Queen Mother's question.

"Queen Mother, when the old slave went to the palace gate to pick up Princess Yu, she was also so weak, or did she go through the medicinal bath last night to be able to hold on to her spirit today."

The Queen Mother's face softened, but she was still dissatisfied that Su Youning did not enter the palace to relieve her worries as soon as possible, and did not speak.

Su Youning waited for Mama Xia to finish speaking, raised her eyes and smiled weakly.

"It's Youning who is not good, cowardly, and delayed the emperor's grandmother's big event, and he deserves to be punished."

As soon as she said this, the Queen Mother's little complaint against Su Youning slowly disappeared, and she stood up and looked at her, this girl was much smaller.

"Okay, what do you say about being punished and not being punished, Yu'er's absence will hurt you."

Su Youning knew that the Queen Mother didn't blame her for hiding from the palace, and she owed a debt.

"Knowing what the imperial grandmother is worried about, Youning will go and see first!"

The Queen Mother nodded again and again and pointed inside.

"Mama Xia took this girl in."

Mama Xia sighed and asked softly.

"There is a charcoal fire burning in the hall, Princess Yu's cloak is about to be taken off?"

Su Youning subconsciously grabbed the cloak and shook his head.

"Youning is afraid of the cold, so you don't have to bother your grandma."

Inside, Su Youning saw the emperor lying on the dragon couch, without the majesty of the past, at this moment he was like an old man sleeping with his eyes closed.

Mama Xia was talking to Su Youning about the symptoms of these days after the emperor fell ill.

Su Youning took out the medicine bag from her wide sleeve, put the square towel on the emperor's pulse, and gently put her slender fingers on it, the pulse was stable and strong, not like she was seriously ill, she took back the square scarf, turned her head and asked Mama Xia.

"What does the imperial doctor in the palace say?"

Mama Xia replied truthfully.

"The emperor was infected with wind and cold at the beginning, and the emperor was getting better day by day after the imperial doctor prescribed medicine, but he didn't wake up after half a month ago, and most of the time after that, he was in a coma, and occasionally woke up in a daze and didn't react."

Su Youning frowned and asked again.

"Who slept on the day the emperor fell asleep? Who is the one who takes care of the illness after falling asleep? ”

Mama Xia thought carefully and replied.

"On the day of sleep, no one sleeps, and after falling asleep, the queen mother does not allow the concubines to serve, and the queen mother brings the old slaves and palace people to serve every day."

The Queen Mother was helped in, and when she saw the emperor, the Queen Mother's majestic expression immediately surfaced a trace of nervousness and worry.

"How is the emperor?"

Su Youning got up and replied.

"Back to the emperor's grandmother, the emperor's pulse is no different, and the prescriptions of the imperial doctors are not wrong, it should be good to cure the emperor of the wind and cold, but now he is unconscious, I am afraid it is caused by other reasons."

This is bizarre, but the Queen Mother is not surprised at all.

In this harem for decades, the Queen Mother has long been accustomed to those intrigues and harmful methods, so she naturally will not be afraid of Su Youning's words.

"Could it be that you can find out what the reason is?"

Su Youning didn't smell a strange smell when she entered the Taicheng Palace, according to what Mama Xia said, the emperor had not been in contact with other people since she was asleep, and she really didn't have a clue for a while.

"Imperial grandmother, Shu Youning is incompetent, and he can't determine the cause of the emperor's illness."

The Queen Mother's expression became solemn again, her eyes were shining with tears, and she looked at the emperor with slightly cloudy eyes.

"Mama Xia, is there no news about sending people out of Beijing to find Master Wuliang?"

Mama Xia could only shake her head, now there is heavy snow everywhere in the Southern Dynasties, and the snow disaster in Huizhou is even more serious, so the chance of sending people out of Beijing to find people in such a situation is really slim.

Su Youning thought about the emperor's symptoms that Mama Xia had said, and suddenly remembered a home remedy in the book "Miscellaneous Syndrome".

"Imperial grandmother, although Youning can't immediately find out the cause of the emperor's coma, there is a way to restore the emperor to normal."
