Chapter 260 Everyone has their own thoughts
The Queen Mother looked at the Queen with an unhappy expression. It was already this late and the Queen was sitting there alone.
You can still laugh?
The queen gathered her thoughts, stood up and walked to the queen mother.
"Mother, the imperial physician is treating His Majesty. Should we not disturb him for now?"
After that short period of thinking, the queen's mind became active.
But it is not possible now. I have to go back and discuss it with my father and others. The heir to the throne must be someone from their own family.
It’s a pity that although Xiner was smart since childhood, he ended up with disabled legs!
The empress dowager glanced at the emperor lying on the bed and knew very well that the emperor's health might be bad, so they had to discuss the issue of appointing a crown prince as soon as possible.
Soon, most of the officials in the capital rushed over, and the guards who had been waiting outside came in to report.
"Your Majesty, all the ministers have arrived and are waiting outside the palace!"
Hearing this, the Queen Mother and the Empress looked at each other and saw through each other's plans.
As soon as they realized what was happening, they sealed off the harem, and no concubine was allowed to come to the emperor's bedroom.
The most important thing now is to wait for the emperor to wake up and then establish the crown prince.
"Empress Dowager, how is the Emperor?"
As soon as the empress dowager and her husband walked out, they were surrounded by court officials.
The Queen Mother walked towards the crowd with a worried look on her face, and then she said:
"The emperor is still unconscious and the imperial physician is still examining him."
"What happened?"
Prince Rui was the first to get the news. After all, he was very clear about what the emperor had done.
But now I can only pretend I don’t know!
The Queen Mother also shook her head, her eyes flickering slightly.
"I heard that there was a traitor among the guards. The emperor was caught off guard, so the assassin succeeded. I don't know what happened after that. Now we can only wait for the emperor to wake up."
The court officials were worried, but they didn't dare to say anything.
Now all they can do is wait.
Here, after the imperial physician finished the examination and applied medicine to the wound, he came out to find the empress dowager with a worried look on his face.
The Queen Mother and the court officials saw him and asked him immediately.
"How is the Emperor?"
"How is the emperor now?"
The imperial physician was worried and looked at the empress dowager several times, then at the court officials. The empress dowager seemed to understand something and glanced at the prime minister beside her.
The Prime Minister nodded imperceptibly and was about to say something when Prince Rui said impatiently:
"What are you dithering about? Hurry up and tell me!"
The imperial physician groaned inwardly, what should he do?
Seeing this, the Queen Mother had no choice but to nod to the Imperial Physician, who then said,
"The Emperor's wound has stopped bleeding. There is nothing serious for the time being. Just rest and recuperate. But, but..."
"Just what?"
The Queen Mother asked in a deep voice.
"It's just that the emperor's health is already, already extremely poor, I'm afraid..."
The imperial physician really didn't dare to say anything else. He would have to leave after saying the following!
Even if he didn't say it, they knew it in their hearts. But the more time came, the more people dared not speak, and just waited for the powerful people in the court to rush forward!
The Queen Mother's heart sank. Under the current circumstances, she had to let the Emperor choose a crown prince. Otherwise, there were too many ambitious people in Da Sheng, and she was afraid that something would happen before her own people came to power!
"Alright!" The Queen Mother looked at the court officials and spoke slowly, "Thank you for your hard work today. The Emperor hasn't woken up yet, so you should go back first. I'll call you to the palace to discuss things after the Emperor wakes up!"
"What the Queen Mother said is that you did not allow me to visit the Emperor, and you also prevented the ministers from meeting the Emperor. That's fine, but you even prevented Prince Rui and the princes. What's the logic behind this?"
Everyone looked over and saw that it was Shen Jingming and Concubine Shu who was supposed to be in the harem.
And her words also touched everyone's heart.
The court officials were all confused by the Queen Mother's behavior. This was a great opportunity to seize the throne, but the Queen Mother prevented anyone from seeing the Emperor, which was problematic in itself.
"Why are you here?"
The Queen Mother looked at the two people approaching and felt even more displeased.
It seems that there are too many loopholes in the harem. Someone actually dared to disobey her order and release Concubine Shu!
"Yes, Grandmother, my grandson and I knew about the assassination of our father a long time ago. We were about to rush over, but we were stopped by the palace guards. They said that according to your order, no one is allowed to leave the harem."
At this point, seeing that the Queen Mother was about to explode, Shen Jingming suddenly said in a sad voice:
"Please forgive me, Grandmother. It is because my grandson and I were too worried about my father's health that we disobeyed your order. I hope you will not blame me and my mother!"
Having said that, what else does the Queen Mother have to say?
No one can stop a father from being loving and his son from being filial, right?
However, the Queen Mother never expected that the things that would make her upset were still to come!
A eunuch ran out of the hall in a hurry. Everyone looked and found it was Eunuch Cao. When Eunuch Cao saw so many people outside, he bowed and tried to run out in a hurry, but was stopped by the Queen Mother!
"Stop right there!"
Eunuch Cao was startled and stopped immediately.
"Why are you rushing out here in such a hurry if you're not serving the emperor?"
Eunuch Cao was immediately startled and quickly bowed and said:
"In reply to the Empress Dowager, the Emperor has woken up and is asking me to go and invite the master from the Holy Virtue Hall!"
Hearing this, the empress dowager was immediately furious. The emperor was still thinking about becoming an immortal at this time, and he didn't even look at the condition of his body!
Just as he was about to explode, he heard Prime Minister Bai, who had been silent, suddenly speak up:
"Empress Dowager, the Emperor must have something important to tell you when he called the Master. Let's quickly let Eunuch Cao go!"
The queen mother, who was originally angry, was stunned and looked at her brother in disbelief.
But Prime Minister Bai just signaled her with his eyes not to act rashly. The Queen Mother had no choice but to wave her hand and let the people go.
Eunuch Cao felt as if he had been pardoned. He bowed repeatedly to the Queen Mother and Prime Minister Bai, then quickly left the hall.
At this time, Shen Jingming and Concubine Shu were delighted, looked at each other and said:
"Since Father has woken up, we should take a look. I will feel better if I see that Father is really fine."
At this point, the Queen Mother had nothing to say and took her people back to the palace first.
Shufei was afraid that the empress dowager would say something unfavorable to them once she entered the palace, so she hurriedly followed, dragging her skirt.
Shen Jingming looked at Prince Rui standing beside him, bowed slightly and said:
"Father, please first!"
Prince Rui nodded slightly and followed in. At this critical moment, this kid actually seized the opportunity. He was much smarter than others. However, as for the throne, he was probably still a little short!
Seeing the royal family members follow in one by one, the court officials followed in. Some of them who wanted to leave directly had no choice but to follow!
Not everyone wants to muddy the waters!
