Shen Youhuang had already finished her preparation, so she immediately explained in detail about the Southern Yong Pass's fall and the Southern Ning Army's retake of the Southern Yong Pass.
Of course, he put all the credit on his own shoulders. Not only did he describe Feng Ning Yan's plan to disguise himself as the defeated enemy, his plan to design the Nine Heavens Phoenix Dance Formation, and his song of nostalgia as his own brilliant plan, he even bragged that he was the one in command of the Southern Ning Army to take back the Southern Mountain Pass.
"..." After this battle, the Emperor of the Southern Wilderness was already frightened to death. He hurriedly sent his messenger of truce and sent the princess of the Southern Wilderness, Duan Huanyin, to come and marry him. "
Shen You Huang seemed to be quite pleased with herself as she finished speaking and respectfully lowered her head. The emperor sitting on the dragon throne said three words of 'good' in succession with a face full of joy.
"I am glad that the south has been pacified."
The Emperor was naturally delighted that his son, whom he had never placed much hope on, could perform so well.
"Inform us of our decree, to receive the loyalty of the emperor and protect the nation, to have done meritorious deeds in defending the enemy, and to be bestowed the title of Prince Cheng!"
When Shen Youhuang heard the decree, she couldn't help but be overjoyed. He was the first prince of this dynasty to have been conferred the title of 'Sheng' and 'Sheng'. He was the first to appreciate the results of this battle!
Even Shen Ling Jue had never received such a title.
What kind of honor was this!
Shen Yu Su and a few court officials were secretly shocked. They didn't expect that Shen You Huang would make use of the momentum to soar to the skies after her return from Ningnan.
Shen You Huang restrained the ecstasy in her heart and kowtowed to express her gratitude. She then said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, this son has already asked Princess Duan Hua of the Southern Wilderness to send Princess Duan Hua to the inn to rest. Father, would you like to call her in?"
The Emperor had heard that Duan Hua Yin was born with a beautiful appearance, but he was already old and didn't have any interest in women anymore.
This was also within Shen Youhuang's expectations. She had long since known that few of the new concubines that had entered the palace during the last talent selection had been favored by the emperor.
As expected, the Emperor waved his hand and said, "There is no need. The matter of the marriage alliance … we shall leave it to King Xuan to watch out for. "
Shen Yu Su bowed respectfully and agreed.
After he finished speaking, the emperor looked towards the entrance of the palace. From beginning to end, he didn't see the figures of Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan, and couldn't help but frown and ask, "Where is King Yu and Princess Yu? I have clearly given the order for them to return to the capital as soon as possible.
Logically speaking, the Southern Wilderness' Princess's convoy should have been numerous and slow, whereas Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan should have easily arrived at the capital.
When Shen Youhuang heard that the emperor was still thinking about King Yu, she felt resentment in her heart.
This Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan, even if they were to die, they wouldn't be able to make people feel at ease!
However, when she thought of the fact that the two of them had died in a deep ravine, Shen Youhuang felt proud of herself once again. However, she still put on a grieving expression on her face. Her eyes were red as she said,
"Imperial Father, Brother Yu, he …" When he and Princess Hua-Yang were on their way to the capital, they encountered a group of bandits from the Southern Wilderness who escaped the net and tried to assassinate them. When they received the report, they had already … "
"How is it already?!" The emperor stood up from the dragon throne in nervousness and stared fixedly at Shen Youhuang.
Shen Youhuang's expression was sorrowful and she could not speak any words. "Brother Wang and his wife, as well as the chief guard, Jingqi …" Unrivaled in numbers, falling into the deep creeks of the waterfall. "I have already sent people to search for a long time, but none of them survived …"
"What!" The emperor's body swayed. He looked at the empty palace door and said in disbelief, "Not a single one of them survived …" "How could it be …"
"Impossible!" Shen Yu Su cried out from the side as she took a step forward and grabbed Shen You Huang's sleeves. "Brother Prince Cheng!" Did you get it wrong! Prince Yu's kung fu was superb, and even Aunt Wang was a veteran of hundreds of battles. How could a bunch of handicapped veterans like himself be able to harm them?! I don't believe it! "
When Shen Youhuang heard that Shen Yu Su still addressed him as "Brother Prince Cheng", her gaze chilled as she slightly shook off Shen Yu Su's hand.
He turned around and bowed to the emperor, "All three war horses have been killed. The river is bloodstained, and the waterfall they fell on was over a hundred meters. Even if they fell, they would be fine … royal father, please grieve for me. We should emphasize the importance of the dragon's body … "
However, before he could finish his words, he saw the emperor's body sway and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He then closed his eyes and fell limply to the ground.
Wu Nian En, who was standing by the side, rushed forward to support the emperor. Shen You Huang seemed to be panicking as she also called out, "Call the imperial physician!"
The Emperor suddenly fainted, and the entire Qian Yuan Palace turned into a mess.
A few eunuchs led the emperor to the bed in the hall, and the imperial physician rushed over and sat on the edge of the bed, his fingers on the emperor's pulse.
Shen Youhuang stood by the side of the dragon bed, worry and worry written all over her face as she looked at the unconscious emperor.
In fact, he couldn't wait for the emperor to die. He, who had just been conferred the title of Prince Cheng, had the highest status among all the princes.
Once the emperor died, this throne would naturally belong to him, Shen Youhuang!
The imperial concubine, Shangguan Yu, hurried over when she heard the news. She happened to see the imperial physician taking back his hand and stroking his beard. She didn't bother greeting Shen Youhuang as she asked, "Imperial Physician, how is His Majesty's dragon constitution?"
Shen Youhuang was also waiting for the imperial physician's answer, staring at him nervously.
The imperial physician knew that the situation was tense and didn't want to keep her in suspense. He bowed to the imperial concubine and said:
"Recently, His Majesty's body has been weak. In addition to his excessive grief, he vomited blood. Although the damage to one's internal organs was not serious, one must not work hard in the future, and one must not frequently favor one's concubines in order to avoid aggravating the condition. "After resting for a few months, you should have gotten better."
The Imperial Concubine's face turned yellow. She gritted her teeth and slowly sat on the edge of the bed, quietly watching the unconscious Emperor.
Ever since the selection, although she had frequently advised the emperor to put his life on the line, the young concubines in the imperial harem who wanted to rise above the masses had tried their best to climb onto the dragon bed, making it impossible to guard against them.
She couldn't interfere too much in order to avoid falling into her favorite trap. However, he didn't expect that the emperor's body would be worse than his for a day.
"Your Majesty …" She was extremely sad. She held the emperor's hand and pressed it against his face as she softly said, "You must get well soon …"
When Shen Youhuang heard the imperial physician say that the emperor would be fine after a few months of rest, she couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
She had suffered from the rebellion of the crown prince, Shen Di. Now, she had lost a son. If it were anyone else, they would have died a long time ago.
At this point, the imperial physician had already written down a prescription and passed it to the imperial concubine. "Reporting to Imperial Concubine, this is this humble subject's prescription. Please take a look."
Before the imperial concubine could extend her hand to receive it, Shen Youhuang had already received the prescription.
"This prince has a rather good understanding of medicine, so Imperial Physician Gu doesn't need to trouble Imperial Concubine with everything. In the future, Imperial Father's illness will only need to be reported to this prince as to how he's progressing and as to how he's being treated with medicine."
The imperial concubine was startled and couldn't help but stand up and ask sullenly, "Your Highness, what do you mean by this? Why can't I take a look at the emperor's prescription? "
