The paranoid prince is crazy, but I have been quietly reborn

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

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

"There's really nothing I can do with you, you should go back to the Su Mansion immediately after I enter the palace, do you know?"

Jixiang Ruyi nodded with red eyes.

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

"The snow season in the Southern Dynasties is really long!"

Bai Hu stood beside the carriage with his sword in his hand, watching Su Youning come over and lift up the sedan chair curtain.

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

"Baihu, if you have any news from His Highness, please let me know immediately."

"Yes."

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, Madam Xia beside the Empress Dowager was already waiting there.

Two maidservants with ugly faces helped Su Youning get off the carriage, one on the left and the other on the right.

Madam Xia hurried over to greet her, seeing Su Youning's pale face, she hurriedly gave orders.

"Come here, help Princess Yu onto the sedan chair prepared by the Empress Dowager."

The maidservant behind Madam Xia immediately helped Su Youning from the hands of the two maidservants.

"Thank you Madam Xia, you two will wait at the gate of the palace with the coachman."

Su Youning thanked softly and arranged for the people who came with Prince Yu's Mansion. If she can't leave the palace today, these people should know to go back to the mansion.

The two maidservants responded respectfully.

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

"Princess Yu, yesterday the county lord came to tell the empress dowager about your situation, can you hold on today?"

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

"Yesterday, I took a medicated bath, and I can still hold on. Mammy, please rest assured."

After finishing speaking, Madam Xia suddenly smelled a strong smell of medicine exuding from Su Youning's body, it seems that she is in a coma.

"Since you can hold on, then this old slave will take you directly to the Hall of Supreme Success. The emperor is there, and the queen mother is also there."

Su Youning slightly closed her eyes, and said calmly.

"Yes, You Ning listened to Nanny."

In the hall of Taicheng, the emperor was lying on the dragon couch with his eyes closed, and the empress dowager was sitting in the outer hall with a sullen face, twisting Buddhist beads in her hands.

At the same time, Imperial Concubine Ling and other concubines were waiting in the side hall.

All the concubines sat in the first place, and the imperial concubine Ling sat in the first place. They were not in the mood to chat and were silent.

"Sister, can we meet the emperor today? Besides, why doesn't the queen mother let the concubines take care of you?"

Concubine Shu, who always boasted that she has a very good relationship with Imperial Concubine Ling, couldn't help asking, but her question reached the hearts of all the concubines.

A month ago, the emperor had a cold and flu. Originally, the imperial doctor prescribed medicine and said that he would be cured within half a month. Unexpectedly, the day before half a month, the emperor fell asleep and never woke up again. It is heard that the emperor remained silent even when he opened his eyes.

In the harem, the imperial concubine temporarily acted as assistant to the sixth palace, and this matter could only be handled by the empress dowager immediately.

In order to stabilize the Southern Dynasty, the Empress Dowager naturally would not spread the matter of the emperor's serious illness to the outside world.

In the court, Prime Minister Lu, who was originally powerful in the court, also fell due to the loss of power in the East Palace. The person who could be regent was also sent to the border by the emperor at the beginning of the year. The affairs of the court could only be handled by Chu Lian on behalf of the Empress Dowager.

In the harem, although the empress dowager sits in charge, all the concubines look up to the imperial concubine in private. After all, she is the one who is most likely to ascend to the empress position.

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

"The Empress Dowager ordered that concubines not be allowed to wait for illnesses. The sisters obeyed the order. Now that the Empress Dowager is in the harem, the sisters don't need to panic."

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

"Having said that, my sister should also think about it for the sisters as she acts as an agent in the harem. She rarely sees the emperor on weekdays. Now that the emperor is seriously ill, the sisters are naturally worried."

"boom!"

The Imperial Concubine Ling slammed the teacup in her hand on the table beside her, and raised her eyes to stare at everyone solemnly.

"The Empress Dowager ordered that no one is allowed to say that the emperor is seriously ill. Now that the Empress Dowager is in the Hall of Taicheng, it is possible that you are all desperate."

Concubine Shu quickly knelt down with a flustered tone.

"It's the concubine, it's the concubine's slip of the tongue."

Imperial Concubine Ling snorted coldly, and raised her hand with the exquisite armor.

"Get up, the front court and the rear palace can't be messed up now, you have to be cautious in your words and deeds."

After the words fell, all the concubines stood up one after another, cupping their hands.

"Yes."

The voice of everyone responding yes happened to reach the ears of Su Youning who stepped into the Taicheng Hall.

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

"There are concubines who are worried about the emperor's safety in the side hall. Princess Yu ignores it. Please follow the old slave to the main hall."

Su Youning nodded slightly.

At this moment, Su Youning had already got off the sedan chair, Madam Xia cared about her, the two walked very slowly, but she still blushed and looked out of breath.

Following Nanny Xia into the emperor's bedroom, Su Youning saw the sitting queen mother at a glance. She lifted her skirt and slowly stepped forward, knelt down to salute.

"You Ning met the emperor's grandmother."

The empress dowager obviously lost the closeness she used to have, her wrinkled face was full of majesty, and she raised her hand falsely.

"Get up."

Su Youning obediently replied yes, she was unsteady and almost fell when she stood up, but fortunately, Madam Xia had quick eyesight and hands to support her.

Only then did the queen mother see Su Youning's pale face, and smelled a strong smell of medicine, her complexion eased.

"What's the matter? I'm still sick?"

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

Nanny Xia supported Su Youning, and responded to the Queen Mother's question.

"Empress Dowager, when this old servant went to meet Princess Yu at the gate of the palace, she was also so weak. It was only after the medicinal bath last night that she was able to hold on stronger today."

The Empress Dowager's face softened a bit, but she was still dissatisfied that Su Youning didn't enter the palace immediately to relieve her worries, so she didn't speak.

After Madam Xia finished speaking, Su Youning raised her eyes and smiled weakly.

"It's You Ning who is not good, cowardly, and has delayed the great affairs of the emperor's grandmother, and deserves to be punished."

After saying this, the empress dowager's complaints towards Su Youning gradually disappeared, she stood up and looked at her, this girl was much smaller in stature.

"Okay, what are you saying about being punished and not punished, Yu'er's absence will be a pain for you."

Su Youning knew that the Queen Mother didn't blame her for avoiding entering the palace, so she bowed her body.

"Knowing what the imperial grandmother is worried about, You Ning will go and have a look first!"

The queen mother nodded repeatedly and pointed inside.

"Nurse Xia took this girl in."

Madam Xia sighed, and then asked softly.

"The charcoal fire is burning in the hall, Princess Yu is going to take off her cloak?"

Su Youning subconsciously clutched the cloak and shook her head.

"You Ning is afraid of the cold, so you don't have to bother Madam."

Entering inside, Su Youning saw the emperor lying on the dragon couch, without the majesty of the past, now he looked like an old man sleeping with his eyes closed.

Nanny Xia was on the side talking to Su Youning about the emperor's symptoms these days after he fell ill.

Su Youning took out a medical bag from her wide sleeve, put a square scarf on the emperor's pulse, gently touched it with her slender fingers, her pulse was steady and strong, she didn't look like she was seriously ill, she took back the scarf, turned to ask Xia Mammy.

"What did the imperial physician in the palace say?"

Madam Xia answered truthfully.

"The emperor was infected with a cold at the beginning, and the imperial doctor prescribed the medicine, and the emperor gradually improved, but he didn't wake up half a month ago, and then he fell asleep most of the time. Occasionally, when he woke up, he would be dazed and unresponsive."

Su Youning frowned and asked again.

"Who served the emperor on the day when he fell asleep? Who served him after he fell asleep?"

Mother Xia thought about it carefully and replied.

"There was no one to go to bed on the day when I fell asleep. After I fell asleep, the Empress Dowager did not allow the concubines to take care of them. The Empress Dowager brought the old slaves and palace servants to take care of them every day."

The Empress Dowager walked in with someone's support, and when she saw the Emperor, the Empress Dowager's majestic expression immediately showed a trace of tension and worry.

"How is the emperor?"

Su Youning stood up and replied.

"Going back to the emperor's grandmother, the emperor's pulse is not abnormal, and the prescriptions given by the imperial physicians are also correct. The emperor should be well after the wind and cold are cured, but now he is unconscious, probably due to other reasons."

What she said was bizarre, but the Queen Mother was not surprised at all.

In the harem for decades, the queen mother has long been used to those intrigues and harmful methods, so she naturally wouldn't be afraid of Su Youning's words.

"Is it possible to find out why?"

Su Youning didn't smell any strange smell when she entered the Hall of Supreme Achievement. According to Madam Xia, the emperor has been in a coma and hasn't contacted other people so far, so she really didn't have a clue for a while.

"Imperial Grandmother, forgive You Ning for being incompetent, and I still can't determine the emperor's cause of disease."

The Empress Dowager's expression became serious again, tears were shining in her eyes, she looked at the Emperor with slightly cloudy eyes.

"Nurse Xia, is there no news about sending someone to leave Beijing to find Master Wuliang?"

Madam Xia could only shake her head, now that it is snowing heavily in Southern Dynasties, especially in Huizhou, the chances of sending someone away from Beijing to find someone under such circumstances are really slim.

Su Youning was thinking about the emperor's symptoms mentioned by Nanny Xia, and suddenly remembered a folk prescription in the book "Miscellaneous Records".

"Grandmother, although You Ning cannot immediately find out the cause of the emperor's coma, there is a way to restore the emperor to normal."
