C180

Fang Zinan walked on for a long, long distance. The wind that blew against his face cleared his mind. What he said just now was said in a fit of anger. He always had a feeling of worry about Shang Yiqing, as if he couldn't control himself. Because he really had no confidence in himself!

As he was thinking about this, he suddenly saw a carriage in front of him. The carriage had a bright yellow dragon banner in front of it. This was clearly a carriage from the palace. Why would it appear at this time? While he was lost in thought, the young eunuch on the carriage, borrowing the moonlight, recognized him. He jumped down from the carriage and bowed, "Your servant greets Prince Rong."

"It's so late, and you're still leaving the palace? Could something have happened? "

"In reply to Your Highness, the emperor is very ill. Servant Bai has come to invite the Shang Tian Doctor to the palace to treat him."

Fang Zinan was shocked: "What?" His Majesty, he … "Severely ill …" Without hesitation, he said almost immediately, "I'll go with you to ask for the imperial physician."

"Thank you, Prince Rong."

Fang Zinan jumped on his horse and followed the eunuch towards the merchant house.

The carriage moved quickly, and in a short while, it was already very close to the merchant house. Under the willow tree, he could still see Shang Yiqing and Xiao Tianyuan standing there, as if they were talking about something.

"Prince, we've arrived at the Imperial Physician Courtyard."

Following the eunuch's order, Fang Zinan jumped off the carriage and walked towards the merchant house.

Xiao Tian Yuan was still standing under the willow tree. When he saw the horse carriage, he felt that it was a little strange. He then saw Fang Zi Nan jump out of the horse carriage and walk towards the merchant house in a hurry. He was confused, but at the same time, he felt something was about to happen. He turned to Shang Yiqing and said, "Consort Rong, didn't Prince Rong leave just now? Why is he back now? Has something happened?"

Shang Yiqing raised her head and saw that Fang Zinan was no longer there. She only asked, "Where is he?"

"I see that Prince Rong has already entered your merchant house. Why don't we go over and see what has happened?" For some unknown reason, Xiao Tian Yuan felt a bit of uneasiness as he left Shang Yiqing and headed into the merchant house. Shang Yiqing followed suit.

When the two of them walked to the front of the carriage, they saw Fang Zinan and Shang Tiancheng walking out of the house in a hurry. They looked very worried.

"Father, what happened?"

When Shang Tiancheng saw his daughter, he only said, "The Emperor is gravely ill. Right now, I want to enter the palace with Prince Rong. You can return to your residence first."

Upon hearing that the emperor was gravely ill, Shang Yiqing began to panic. She also wanted to see what was going on, so she quickly replied, "My daughter is going as well."

Shang Tiancheng and Fang Zinan had already boarded the horse carriage. Shang Tiancheng waved his hand and said, "Don't cause any more trouble. Time is of the essence. I will not tell you anything else. The Emperor has summoned me to the palace. He must be very ill …" As he spoke, the eunuch raised the horsewhip in his hand and turned around, heading towards the Imperial Palace.

Shang Yiqing only saw the worry on Fang Ziqing's face, but didn't look at her.

"This won't do, I have to go to the palace to take a look at the situation, I really don't feel at ease." Shang Yiqing was about to follow after him.

Xiao Tianyuan stopped her. "Esteemed wangfei, it's not convenient for you to enter the palace right now. Why don't you allow me to go to the palace and inquire about the news?"

"No, I want to go with you."

Seeing how determined Shang Yiqing was, Xiao Tianyuan could only nod …

When Fang Zinan and Shang Tiancheng arrived at the palace, Steward Li was already waiting anxiously. When he saw Shang Tiancheng, he said, "Imperial Physician, hurry. The emperor's sputum is starting to rise. Go take a look."

Shang Tiancheng took out a silver needle and stepped forward to treat the emperor.

When Fang Zinan saw the empress's teary face, he couldn't help but go forward and console her. "Esteemed Empress, Imperial Physician Shang's medical skills are superb. Please don't worry."

"Prince Rong, why are you here?" The empress wiped her tears away with a handkerchief, suppressing the unease in her heart.

"In reply to the Empress, your nephew was near the merchant house just now and happened to see the Imperial Palace's carriage. I asked before and knew that the emperor was severely ill, so your nephew came along with you."

The Queen sighed, "Prince Rong is still the most filial."

"The Empress is serious." After Fang Zinan finished speaking, he stood by the side with his hands hanging by his sides, watching Shang Tiancheng's treatment with the empress.

After an hour, he finally saw Shang Tiancheng wiping the cold sweat from his forehead and putting down the silver needle in his hand. At the same time, he also heard a "wu" sound coming from the emperor's throat. He spat out a mouthful of phlegm, and his originally purple complexion eased somewhat.

Fang Zinan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said: "Your majesty is fine now." Empress, the emperor is fine. "

The empress wore a gratified smile as she nodded her head. "Today it was all thanks to Imperial Physician Shang. I was really worried to death."

"Empress, you are being too serious. This is something within this humble subject's responsibility." Even though Shang Taicheng saved the emperor, he was still worried. Because just now, the emperor's situation was indeed very serious. If it had come a little later, perhaps the emperor's life would have been real …

Hearing the hesitation in Shang Tiancheng's words, Fang Zinan's heart sank. In front of the empress, he really didn't want to ask any further questions.

The emperor spat on the ground before slowly opening his eyes. With a single glance, he saw Empress Chen standing there with red eyes. She smiled weakly. "Why is my mistress crying again?"

"You still want to joke around? Do you know how dangerous your situation was just now? I was truly afraid just thinking about it. " Empress Chen's tears turned into smiles.

He extended a hand to hold on to Empress Chen's, and said listlessly, "There's already a few dozen people, yet you're still crying. It won't be shameful at all …"

In front of Imperial Physician Shang and Prince Rong, the emperor's words made Empress Dowager Chen a little embarrassed. She reminded them, "Look at you, you've already had the heart to joke around just a little bit. Imperial Physician Shang and Prince Rong are both here."

"Why is Prince Rong here?"

Empress Chen nodded her head. "This child is truly filial. When she heard that you were sick, she came with the Shang Tian Doctor to visit you."

"Prince Rong is truly a considerate person." The emperor slightly raised his head, and the palace maids by his side half helped him sit up, adding cushions to his back.

Fang Zinan walked up and calmly said, "Thank you for your love, your nephew will just do what he needs to do."

The Emperor smiled and leaned against the headboard. It seemed that his body was getting worse every day. Perhaps, he would soon die! Currently, the Southern Marsh Country had yet to appoint a crown prince. These young princes were his nephew, and were all candidates to continue the throne. Ning Wang was originally the eldest son of the crown prince. He had placed his greatest hopes on Ning Wang, but he didn't expect Ning Wang to poison him, and now, he was half dead. Although Ning Wang was smart, he didn't have much vision; he was the most outstanding figure among the other princes, but he always felt that Ning Wang was too exposed and was not an emperor; while Prince Rong was kind and compassionate, but his body was weak and weak, so he didn't dare entrust any large responsibility to him. This was truly embarrassing!
