My old husband who can read minds

Not to mention the undercurrents in Fanzhou City, which is thousands of miles away. In Shengjing City today, over the matter of establishing the crown prince and supervising the country, tensions have reached a tense level inside and outside the court.

Fortunately, Emperor Qianyuan finally woke up briefly that day after being in a coma for more than a month.

It was already mid-to-late June, at the height of summer.

Outside the Jiaotai Palace where Emperor Qianyuan lived, a group of people were standing in the dark.

Looking around, the queen, Concubine De, the fourth concubine, five princes and several young princes and princesses were gathered together, all with solemn expressions.

The five cabinet ministers also stood quietly by the side, their faces as sinking as water.

After hearing the news that the emperor had awakened, Qin Yan and others rushed into the palace immediately and have been waiting for the news outside the palace.

In the palace at that time, apart from Eunuch Chang Sheng and the Queen Mother who were accompanying the dragon bed, only Zou Yuanpan and two other imperial doctors were diagnosing the emperor's pulse.

Emperor Qianyuan, who was originally vigorous and vigorous, became haggard and like a skeleton after a serious illness. Moreover, his whole body exuded an air of malaise like rotten wood, and he looked like he didn't have much life left.

The Queen Mother looked at her son who was almost dying on the hospital bed and was heartbroken. However, she suppressed the grief in her heart and quietly turned around to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. When she turned around again, her eyes were only slightly red.

At a time when people's hearts are unstable, she, the Queen Mother, cannot afford to fall.

"Zou Yuanjing, how is your majesty?"

After the three imperial doctors diagnosed Emperor Qianyuan's pulse and prescribed medicine, the Empress Dowager invited people to the side hall for questioning, leaving only Eunuch Chang Sheng and a few servants in the bedroom to serve the newly awakened emperor to drink rice porridge.

Magistrate Zou shook his head with a sad look on his face, "Please forgive me and others for their incompetence. His Majesty's dragon body already has old poisons that have not been cleared away, but new poisons have been added to it. It has already been poisoned into the heart, and all the internal organs are weakened. I and others are really powerless. Back to the days."

When the Queen Mother heard this, her vision went dark and she stumbled. Fortunately, she was supported by the two nuns beside her.

"Then according to Zou Yuan's judgment, how long can His Majesty's dragon body last?"

The Queen Mother choked back her grief and asked.

"If you use warm medicine to treat it, it will take another two or three months at most. If you use strong medicine to hang it up, it will take at most a month."

Zou Yuan ruled out two options, but either one represents "time is running out."

"Okay! The Ai family will ask His Majesty about this matter before they give you an answer. After leaving this door, no matter who comes to ask His Majesty the true situation of the dragon body, the Ai family does not want anyone else present today to know. This One thing, the Ai family believes that you, Judge Zou, know what to do."

The Queen Mother did not say any threats, but several imperial doctors felt chills running down their spines.

"I understand, please rest assured, the Queen Mother."

Zou Yuanjian and the three of them knew that the matter was serious, and even if they had a hundred courages, they would not dare to reveal the secret situation of the half-parted dragon body at this time.

"Yes!" The Queen Mother nodded noncommittally, "Go ahead, we don't need you at the moment. Just stay here, Doctor Zou, and Doctor Li and Doctor Xu can go and do their own business."

The other two imperial doctors hurriedly left after hearing this, and the Queen Mother returned to the dormitory with Zou Yuanxuan.

At this time, Emperor Qianyuan had been served by Eunuch Chang Sheng and others. He had eaten some food and drank a bowl of medicine. He was lying on the bed silently recuperating with his eyes half closed, and his complexion was still very gloomy. The Queen Mother approached the dragon bed, looked at Emperor Qianyuan lovingly, and asked warmly: "Your Majesty, you have eaten. Do you feel you are feeling better?"

"I'm getting better. It's been a hard work for me while I was in coma."

Emperor Qianyuan replied feebly. If you didn't get closer, you wouldn't be able to hear what he was saying.

"As long as His Majesty can wake up, no matter how hard the Ai family is, it will be worth it. If His Majesty can recover as soon as possible, it won't hurt even if the Ai family's life is shortened."

Seeing her always wise and mighty son in such a miserable state, the Queen Mother was heartbroken and wished she could take his place in his place.

If possible, she really hoped to exchange her life for her son's.

Faced with the empress dowager's motherly heart, Emperor Qianyuan immediately blushed.

"The child is unfilial and makes the mother worried."

The Queen Mother came closer, stroking the top of Emperor Qianyuan's hair as she did when she was a child, and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The most important thing for you now is to listen to the doctor and take good rest for the future."

Emperor Qianyuan smiled bitterly and thought to himself: "Will I still have a future?"

However, he pretended to be indifferent on his face and changed the subject calmly.

"I heard from Chang Daban that I have been in coma for more than a month and have delayed a lot of government affairs. Qin Qing and all the cabinet ministers are waiting outside the palace, and I want to summon them to ask about court affairs."

The Queen Mother looked concerned, "I'm afraid I won't be able to finish what I said in just a few words. Can your Majesty's body bear it?"

"It doesn't matter, I'll just lie down and listen. There's nothing that requires any effort."

Emperor Qianyuan's words contained a sense of self-deprecation, and the Queen Mother felt heartbroken after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, do you want to meet the Queen and others first? I heard that when you woke up, the Queen, the concubines, and the princes and princesses all waited outside all morning. They were very anxious and worried."

"I would like to ask my mother to tell the queen and others that I am fine. Let them disperse for the time being. I will summon them when my health is better in two days."

Emperor Qianyuan was in a state of waning mood and only focused on government affairs.

"Okay! The Ai family will go out to convey the Holy Will, and they will also announce to His Majesty Qin Shenzhi and others. It's just that you have just woken up, Your Majesty, so you need to rest more and don't be tired."

The Queen Mother earnestly warned her, looking worried.

"My child knows that I have to work hard for my mother."

"Eunuch Chang Sheng, remember to urge your majesty to rest a lot and don't let him get tired."

Before leaving, the Queen Mother was particularly worried and solemnly explained it again, and then left worriedly. (End of chapter)
