C159

Yun Chengfeng's heart was thumping wildly as he saw blood trickle from the emperor's lips and he fainted in front of him, confirming the accuracy of the emperor's illness. The next moment, he was thrown out of the royal study, and at the same time, he was also being looked at by the prison warden. He felt an incomparable sense of fear.

This time, the emperor fainted. It took him a long time to wake up. His face was ashen white, and his breathing was weak. For a moment, he was speechless.

After a long while, the emperor finally spoke, "Where is Yun Chengfeng?"

"Go back to your majesty and imprison him in a nearby room. No one is allowed to come in contact with him."

The Emperor gasped, "Damn it!"

The person who replied knelt on the ground, his head lowered, and he said, "Please take care of the dragon's body, Your Majesty. There are some rumors in the capital that say the Emperor's body is unwell."

"Good, very good!"

The kneeling man hastily served the medicine. "Please, Your Majesty, take the medicine."

The Emperor, who had been served with medicine, was quiet for a while. He recovered a bit and then asked with some energy, "How is the crown prince?"

"Reporting to the emperor, His Highness Crown Prince has repeatedly requested to see the emperor and esteemed empress. The empress has also repeatedly requested to see the emperor."

"Pass on my decree ordering the empress to bring the crown prince personally to the Jingyuan Mansion to seek treatment from Princess Taiping!"

Ruthlessness flashed through the emperor's eyes. "Has there been any news about the Cloud Sanguine Lotus?"

"This humble subject is incapable."

The kneeling man, with his head lowered, was lying prostrate before the sickbed. Until now, the Dragon Guards hadn't found the slightest clue regarding the Cloud Sanguine Lotus. It was as if the second lady from the Censor's residence had completely vanished from this world, disappearing without a trace.

"Interrogate Yun Feiyan and the others strictly."

"Understood."

"Send someone to go with the empress to the Jingyuan Mansion to check on King Jingyuan's injuries."

"Understood …"

Tian FengNian pondered. He raised his head, wanting to steal a glance at the emperor's expression, but he didn't dare to do so. He whispered, "Your majesty, what should we do if King Jingyuan isn't willing to open the door?"

"If you can't even accomplish this, what's the use of it?"

"Yes, this humble subject is incapable and deserves to die ten thousand times."

He was so frightened that he immediately slammed his head against the ground and didn't dare to say another word.

"If Feng Qingxiao doesn't open the gates, then there's no need for all of you to come back. You can pass on this decree to the empress!"

"Understood!"

All of a sudden, his clothes were soaked in cold sweat. Tian Fengsheng kowtowed and excused himself, and after he left, he let out a long breath. He could not help but feel terrified. In the past few days, the emperor had been vomiting blood and fainting. From the looks of it, it seemed like …

He didn't dare to think any further. If it weren't for the heavy losses he had suffered from the Dragon Guards, how could he have become the commander of the Dragon Guards?

He smiled wryly to himself. He knew that the Dragon Guards had all died in such a short period of time, and he naturally knew a bit of the reason behind this loss.

He didn't dare to even think about it!

The empress was in a bad mood. Her son's position as the king was in a precarious situation. It was impossible for him to see the emperor, but now he was confined within the palace and could not leave the palace!

If it was during normal times, she could still cause a ruckus using her status as the empress, but now …

"Zhan'er, how could you do so many stupid things?"

The empress sighed with helplessness and exhaustion on her beautiful face. This time, his son had truly angered the emperor!

He had actually secretly taken the military medallion of the imperial guards. This was no longer coveting the emperor's throne, this was a conspiracy!

If it wasn't for this, she wouldn't have been as passive as she was now, and wouldn't have dared to cause a ruckus in order to avoid angering the emperor. Not to mention her son being unable to keep his position, even his life was in danger. Under the current fury of the Emperor, even if she were able to keep her position as Empress, she would still lose the will to be a sovereign, and would no longer be able to retain the rights as a true Queen.

"Qie'er, you fool!"

Hating that she had failed, the empress's long nails dug deep into her palms. The nails broke, and dark red blood flowed out from between them.

She looked at the gushing blood coldly. How could she keep her son's position as the Lord?

Unless...

The empress shuddered, her eyes filled with complicated and obscure emotions.

"The Emperor has decrees!"

A voice came from not too far away, startling the empress. She hastily washed her hands clean and ordered someone to come in to help stop the bleeding.

"Esteemed Empress, please accept the decree immediately."

Tian Fengnian led the Dragon Guards and impolitely entered the empress's palace.

The empress's face was gloomy, her beautiful face sinister and sinister. However, even though she was the noble empress, she couldn't do anything in front of these Dragon Guards who only followed the emperor's orders.

"Chenqie shall obey."

When she walked out, her expression was calm as she knelt down to receive the decree.

After hearing the decree, her fingernails couldn't help stabbing into her palm again. The pain made her more clear-headed, and she also understood that she couldn't disobey the emperor's decree!

"Chenqie follows the decree. May the Emperor live for tens of thousands of years."

Suppressing the anger and humiliation in her heart, the empress took the imperial edict and Tian Fengnian bowed, "May the empress get up immediately."

"After I change my clothes, I will immediately take off."

"Esteemed Empress, the emperor ordered. Esteemed Empress should leave immediately, please."

The Queen looked at Tian Fengnian coldly, then she tore off her outer robe and slowly turned around, "Servants, come and help me change my clothes."

Tian Fengsheng hurriedly bowed his head, not daring to move forward. The person in front of him was the esteemed empress after all. With his clothes all messed up, he could only say awkwardly, "This humble official will take his leave. I'll wait outside for the empress."

Fortunately, the empress didn't make him wait long. He finally let out a sigh of relief when he walked out.

The empress's Feng Yu rushed out of the palace and went straight for the Marquis' Mansion.

The news quickly spread to the Marquis' Mansion, and of course it also reached the top of Yunfei.

The empress arrived at the gates of Prince Jingyuan's estate, descended from her phoenix head, and walked straight towards the Iron Guard. The Iron Guards guarding the gates all knelt down to pay their respects to the empress, but no one made a path for her.

"The crown prince is in critical condition. I know that Prince Jingyuan is injured and needs Princess Taiping to treat him. I have specially brought the crown prince to the Jingyuan Mansion to request Princess Taiping to save his life." Go in and report back to King Jingyuan, explain this matter. "

"Men, bring the crown prince here and place him by my side."

Someone carried the seemingly unconscious and dying Zhou Tuo Jie over and placed him by the empress's side. In reality, Zhou Tuoyi's injuries and illness were not that serious. It was just that in order to enter the Marquis' Mansion, he had no choice but to pretend to be like this.

The empress suddenly knelt down. With the esteemed empress's status, she was actually kneeling in front of Duke Jingyuan's estate!

She looked calm on the surface, but her mood was extremely agitated. If she couldn't enter the palace this time, not only would the emperor punish her, she would also lose her chance of getting back on her feet!

She tightly clenched her hands, her fingers wrapped in a white silk handkerchief. Pain continuously spread from her fingertips into her body, allowing her to remain calm. As long as King Jingyuan was willing to let her in, there would still be some chances. Even if she was to kneel here for a long time, she wouldn't hesitate to throw away all her face!
