Because this day was the ceremony for the canonization and sacrifice of the new prince to heaven, the palace was half empty of the imperial guards. However, Emperor Qianyuan, who was supposed to attend the ceremony to confer the honor of the East Palace on the prince, stayed in the Jiaotai Hall due to serious illness.
At that time, I saw dark clouds over the palace, loud thunder, and soon there was a heavy rain, and the sky was as dark as night, as if ink had been poured out.
A few drops of cold rain hit his face through the unclosed wooden window, making Eunuch Chang Sheng feel inexplicably flustered.
"It was a beautiful sunny day, why did the weather suddenly change?"
He muttered secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out for fear of ruining this wonderful day.
"Chang Daban, what time is it now?"
Emperor Qianyuan, who was mentally exhausted on the sickbed, was still diligently reading the latest memorials, covering his lips and coughing a few times.
"Back to Your Majesty, it's just past the beginning of the year." Eunuch Chang Sheng said as he glanced at the window in the room.
"So the ceremony to worship the heaven is almost halfway through, and I don't know if the prince and the others will return safely."
Emperor Qianyuan raised his eyes and looked into the void, his usually majestic face actually looked a little dazed.
Eunuch Chang Sheng's heart trembled, but his pure white face was full of smiles: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. His Royal Highness is the destiny of destiny. The emperor's kindness has been so great that he should return in a perfect way."
"Hmph..." Emperor Qianyuan lowered his head and sneered imperceptibly, with unclear meaning in his eyes.
Then he continued to immerse himself in reviewing the memorial. However, before he had a cup of tea, a severe itching pain came from his limbs and penetrated deep into his bones. The king of a country couldn't help but look hideous in pain. , a shrill cry like a beast's roar came from his throat.
"Your Majesty... hurry up, I will serve you with medicine..."
Although Eunuch Chang Sheng who was accompanying him was pale with fear, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms without any panic, poured out a round brown pill from it and stuffed it into the emperor's mouth.
Apparently we have become accustomed to this and taken it for granted. After taking the pill, Emperor Qianyuan took a long time to calm down, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
This "sickness" has been tormenting him for several months. Every time he experienced a bone-breaking pain, he became more and more murderous towards the people behind the scenes.
"Your Majesty, the dragon body is important, why don't you rest for a while?"
Eunuch Chang Sheng felt distressed and wiped the cold sweat from the emperor's forehead, and began to persuade him kindly.
Emperor Qianyuan nodded weakly and waved his hand, indicating that he would take away the memorial in front of him.
When Eunuch Chang Sheng served the emperor and changed his clothes, and was about to help him lie down to rest, there was a sound of argument outside the palace.
"Xiao Xizi, go and see what's going on? Who is so bold as to disturb His Majesty's sleep?"
Eunuch Chang Sheng had a sullen face and ordered his godson in displeasure.
After a while, Xiao Xizi came to report tremblingly: "Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Qi and the Imperial Concubine are asking for an audience outside the palace."
Emperor Qianyuan, who was about to lie down and rest, suddenly smiled inexplicably and said meaningfully: "I didn't expect that the first one to come would be King Qi. He is really my filial son."
Hearing this, Eunuch Chang Sheng felt that something was wrong, and a cold air came to his heart.
Shouldn't King Qi be attending the canonization ceremony of the crown prince at the Temple of Heaven in the western suburbs with several other princes?
Why did he appear in the palace?
What exactly does he want to do when he comes to see His Majesty now?
While Eunuch Chang Sheng was thinking wildly, Emperor Qianyuan had already summoned Concubine De Gui and Prince Qi's mother and son. (End of chapter)
