There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 98 Thank You, Your Majesty
Fengyang Palace

A group of imperial physicians knelt in front of the queen's bed to take the pulse.

The old emperor stood by the fainted empress, pacing back and forth in worry, with beads of sweat breaking out on his forehead.

"When will my queen wake up, you guys can tell me!!"

The imperial physicians took the pulse and knelt beside the emperor.

"Reporting to the emperor, the empress is in a state of urgency, phlegm obsesses the heart, and I can only try my best to diagnose and treat it. As for when I will wake up, I really can't say for sure!!"

"You bastard! You bastard!" Emperor Jing Yuan was furious.

"What's the use of raising you bastards! Hurry up and find a way, if you can't cure the queen, I will kill you!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The imperial physicians shrank back tremblingly, and resumed diagnosis and treatment.

Eunuch Li Baoyuan suddenly came in to report.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince seeks an audience!"

The vicissitudes of the old face of Emperor Jingyuan suddenly became impatient, and he snorted coldly.

"This traitor, he still has the face!"

"I asked him to manage the Ministry of Industry and supervise the construction of various projects. This Chenwang Mansion is just one of the small projects. He can't do it well. How dare I use him?"

After speaking, he stroked his chest wearily and took a sip of herbal tea.

"Let him kneel outside and give me a good reflection!"

"When will the queen wake up, and when will he wake up again!"

"Yes!" Li Baoyuan didn't dare to say more, and went out with his neck shrunk.

Only the emperor and empress were left in the inner room, and a group of poor old doctors.

……

Outside the main hall of Fengyang Palace.

Li Baoyuan conveyed the emperor's verbal instructions to Xia Houjue, and saw that his expression was still as motionless as a mountain.

"My son respectfully abides by the name of the emperor!"

He bowed respectfully in the direction of the main hall, then knelt down respectfully.

The scorching sun is like a fire, shining viciously on every corner of the earth, burning everywhere it goes, and it is even more like a knife cutting the skin when it shines on the skin.

Even the palace people are reluctant to go out in such weather.

Xia Houjue didn't even frown, and just knelt upright on the open space.

Although he was kneeling on the ground, his back was straight, like a pine tree on the edge of a cliff, ready to face wind, rain, thunder and lightning from all directions.

Others don't know, but he knows, he is not yielding, but enduring.

To be a son, a heir, and a minister, no matter what your status is, if you can't bear it, you don't do it. Only when you can endure what ordinary people can't bear, can you do what ordinary people can't do.

Li Baoyuan couldn't see it, so he secretly greeted Li Dequan.

"Go back and hold an umbrella for your master, otherwise the poisonous sun will peel off a layer of skin!"

Li Dequan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had no choice but to agree, but complained in his heart: "God, master is such a shameless face, how many lives do I have to dare to step forward!"
……

Three hours passed, and at sunset, the queen finally woke up from acupuncture.

In the haze, she caught sight of the emperor, and tears rolled down her cheeks instantly.

"emperor!"

"Queen, don't move!" Emperor Jing Yuan opened his eyes wearily.

He has gained a lot of weight, and with the addition of shock, anger, and excessive worry, he is already very tired, like a burning candle, and like a paper tiger, it will go out as soon as it is blown, and it will fall down as soon as it is poked.

"Queen, don't worry, I have already sent someone over there, and the person who came back reported that the situation there is not serious, Yan'er only suffered some skin trauma, nothing serious, I have already sent the imperial doctor to treat it, don't worry!"

"Really?" The queen burst into tears, and she aged a lot in an instant.

She fell on Emperor Jingyuan's knee and wept bitterly.

"The concubine...the concubine is scared! The concubine thought she would never see the emperor again!"

"Your Majesty, do you know that Yan'er is the only bloodline between the Emperor and the concubine, he is the lifeblood of the concubine!"

The queen was out of breath from crying, and Emperor Jing Yuan was so distressed.

"Don't worry, queen, don't worry, Yan'er is fine!"

The queen wiped her tears, gritted her teeth and said angrily.

"I don't know who is so cruel. They even dare to tamper with the study of Prince Chen's Mansion. This mansion is newly built. Something went wrong so quickly. It must be a conspiracy!"

Then she burst into tears again.

"Your majesty, the concubine knows that Yan'er is ignorant, and also knows that he must have offended many people outside!"

"But he is the emperor's son after all, what kind of hatred can't be directed at the concubine, but at Yan'er! The concubine values ​​him so much that even you are not willing to punish him! They actually... hit such a heavy hand woo woo woo..."

A gleam of light flashed in Emperor Jing Yuan's cloudy eyes, and then they became cold.

"Yes! Why didn't I think of that!"

"This newly built mansion, where is it so easy to go wrong, there must be something strange!"

He slapped the tea table with his palm: "Li Baoyuan!"

"The slave is here!"

"Proceed with the decree, and the Shang Palace Bureau will thoroughly investigate the collapse of the Chen Palace. The truth must be revealed. The sooner the better, there must be no mistakes!"

"Slave complies with the order!" Li Baoyuan quickly retreated.

No one noticed that there was a hint of viciousness and viciousness flashing across the queen's expression.

……

Emperor Jingyuan completely forgot about Xia Houjue who had been kneeling for a whole day, and threw himself on the queen, and stayed by her side to comfort her in every possible way.

It wasn't until Li Baoyuan came back to report the matter to him that he remembered that there was such a thing.

"Still kneeling?" Emperor Jing Yuan frowned.

"His Royal Highness is filial, without the emperor's will, he will definitely not act rashly!"

Emperor Jing Yuan snorted coldly.

"If he was really filial, such a thing would not have happened!"

"Hey~" The queen pulled his sleeve weakly.

"What does Yu Jue'er want to do? The emperor can't talk nonsense!"

A trace of disgust flashed in the corner of Emperor Jingyuan's eyes: "The Prince Chen's Mansion was built under the supervision of the Ministry of Industry, and Jue'er is in charge of the Ministry of Industry. Who else would there be if it wasn't him? Could it be those ministers? Are they guilty of going against Yan'er?"

"Where is the emperor thinking? Their brothers have always been harmonious and respectful, and there will be no such thing! The emperor should stop guessing!" The queen looked dignified and gentle.

Emperor Jingyuan was very sad.

"Queen! You are so soft-hearted and innocent that you are so easy to deceive!"

"That kid Jue'er has a lot of thoughts. Even if I teach him personally, I still can't figure out what's on his mind! In the past two years, he has become more and more disrespectful, and he even dared to talk back to me in front of the courtiers! Hey!"

A hint of cunning flashed in the queen's eyes, but her face continued to be innocent and harmless.

"Your Majesty, Jue'er was speaking out and admonishing you. You should encourage him! And the matter of the Prince Chen's Mansion! You can't blame Jue'er, he only recently took charge of the Ministry of Industry, and I'm afraid he's not familiar with those ministers!"

"It must have been done by the screwdriver, trying to provoke the relationship between their brothers!" The queen was still virtuous and magnanimous.

Emperor Jingyuan couldn't say anything more, so he hugged the queen's shoulders and muttered to himself.

"Queen, don't worry, no matter who did this, I won't let you off lightly! I will definitely give Yan'er justice!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The Empress lay in the arms of Emperor Jing Yuan, with an extremely cold smile on her lips.
