"Your majesty!" The empress's face turned pale, and she clutched her chest, spitting out a mouthful of red blood.
The empress was wearing a peony jacket embroidered with moonlight. She was elegant and elegant, but when blood splattered onto her, it immediately turned into a red plum blossom, shocking anyone who saw it. Her body swayed, almost unable to stand.
The emperor was stunned for a moment before rushing forward to hug her. "Empress, what's wrong? Why are you vomiting blood? Someone, someone, quickly call the imperial physician …"
Imperial Consort Bai stood at the side and bent her body slightly. Looking at the empress's pale face, she smiled proudly. "Your majesty, I think the Empress is just playing the part of the center of attention with you."
The Emperor abruptly raised his head, and his eyes became terrifyingly red. He howled in a low voice, "Scram!"
Imperial Consort Bai was stunned for a moment. The emperor had never treated her so nicely, when had she seen his ferocious look before? She was a little afraid, but this was a good opportunity to add insult to injury. She did not want to leave.
Imperial Consort Bai trembled. She was afraid and left unwillingly.
A group of servants stood by the door, not daring to enter. Imperial Consort Bai looked at Gao Shenghai and asked, "Did the emperor call for the imperial physician and send anyone over?"
Gao Shenghai understood and bowed: "This servant has already ordered some people to go and invite them."
On the other side, Liu Fu also quietly gave Yingchun a meaningful glance, and took a few steps back. In a flash, he turned and went outside the door.
Within the enormous hall, it was as warm as spring, and the fragrance was pleasant to the ear. However, the Emperor seemed to be sitting in a world of ice and snow, and his body emitted waves of coldness.
He called out to the empress softly. "Chun'er, Chun'er, open your eyes. Look at me, look at me …"
The empress seemed to have heard his call and slowly opened her eyes. The instant she saw the emperor, her eyes lit up and her lips moved slightly. "Your Majesty …"
"I'm here. Chun'er, how are you? Are you ok?" It was tenderness on one side, but uncontrollable rage on the other. He turned his head and shouted, "Where's the doctor, where's he? Has he arrived yet?"
Gao Shenghai stood at the door and replied, "Reporting to the Emperor, I have already sent someone to invite him. He should be here very soon."
Seeing the emperor's anxiety, the empress curled her lower lip in gratification. Even after so many years of husband and wife, he still had her in his heart. So, very good, she won't be able to live long, but she wants the emperor to live a long life.
"Your Majesty." She licked her dry lips and said weakly, "Your consort's feelings towards Your Majesty can be seen from the heavens and earth. Prince Chu is a Warlord of the East Yue, and with him here, those foreign nations would not dare to have any ideas about us. "I won't be able to live for long, but if chenqie doesn't feel at ease with the emperor …"
"No, you won't die. I won't let anything happen to you. If I can't cure you, then I'll have those trash from the Grand Hospital accompany you in death!"
"Your majesty, listen to me. You must believe in the Prince Chu, he is the most loyal person to you in this world. With his help, you want to create an era of prosperity for your dreams to come true, your majesty …" She gave a light cough and coughed out a mouthful of blood. Her lips were dyed alluring, but along with her face, they became increasingly pale.
"I know, Chun'er, you don't have to say it anymore. I even know in my heart," The emperor held her tightly, roaring like a trapped beast. "Imperial Physician, has the imperial physician arrived yet?"
"This humble subject has arrived," said Zuo Tangzhong, as he hurried in and bowed towards the emperor, "This humble subject has come late, please punish the emperor in anger."
"Come and take a look at the empress. If you don't look good, I'll punish you together!"
Gao Shenghai looked at Zuo Tangzhong and revealed a little surprise. He turned his head to look for the eunuch that was sent out, and looked around. However, he did not find him.
The Empress was placed on top of the Soft Couch s, her face was solemn as she checked her pulse in the left sect.
"How is it?" The emperor asked anxiously, "How is the empress?"
Zuo Tangzhong stood up and slightly bent his waist, "Please forgive this humble one for speaking bluntly, but the Empress has been ill for a long time and the Evil Qi has already seeped into her internal organs. If she were to recuperate and wait for the winter to pass, she might have a chance, it's just that …"
"But what?" The emperor's expression was somewhat intimidating. "The empress's body has always been treated by you. If you dare to say anything bad, I'll behead you!"
"Your Majesty," the empress opened her eyes and called to him in a low voice.
The emperor hurriedly went over to hold her hand. "Chun Er, how do you feel? Are you feeling better?"
"It was chenqie who failed. Your Majesty, please do not vent your anger on Lord Imperial Physician. He has always been doing his utmost to help me treat this illness. Otherwise, chenqie would have …"
"Don't talk nonsense," the Emperor firmly shook her hand and pushed it back into the blanket. "Rest well. There is no need to think about anything else. I will accompany you here."
Only after the empress slept soundly did the emperor call Zuo Tangzhong to the side. "Tell me the truth, how many days does the empress have left?"
Zuo Tangzhong hesitated a little, "Ever since the Empress started vomiting blood, this subject knew that the situation was not good. After thinking of many ways, the Empress was also willing to cooperate, and for the past few days, she has been slowly stabilizing herself, coughing up blood even less. Just now, the Empress was probably in a hurry, and it was not easy to recover from it. I'm afraid... "Time is running out …"
The color of the emperor's face vanished as he stared at Yun Yang in a daze. He murmured, "Time is running out …"
Zuo Tangzhong looked at the emperor and sighed inaudibly, "This humble subject dares to advise your majesty that when the Empress is dying, accompany her more."
"Imperial Physician, I beg of you, please let the empress live for a few more days. If you need anything, just ask away. Since the palace doesn't have any, I will send people out to look for her. The empress is still young, just let her live for a few more years." As he spoke, his voice was choked with sobs.
Zuo Tangzhong had never seen the Emperor in such a state. Although the Emperor was not as cold as the Prince Chu, he was still a mighty and majestic man. He sighed in his heart, 'If I knew things would turn out like this, why did I have to do it this way?'
He immediately cupped his hands together. "Your Majesty, please be at ease. This humble subject will do everything in my power to ensure the health of the Empress!"
Zuo Tangzhong was the most powerful Imperial Physician of the Supreme Hospital. Since he said that, he could only believe him.
The empress had always been ill, and she had also said that she would be one step ahead of him. He never took it to heart, and felt that it was a very distant matter, but when he saw the mouthful of blood spat out by the empress, he suddenly woke up. So this time, she really was going to leave him.
