Princess a Lives By Kissing Me Every Day - Chapter 72
Xu Bei’s affairs could not be delayed. Unexpectedly, at such a juncture, the emperor fell ill again.
When all the palaces heard about this, they were worried and uneasy. They visited one after another but were all stopped by De Hai. One came to persuade one to leave, and two came to persuade one to leave. The only one who could go in was the Queen.
Hearing that the emperor was in a coma, he still hasn’t woken up until now.
“Eunuch Dehai.” Qin Yuci stood outside the hall with everyone, seeing that he might not be able to get in today, so he didn’t force him, “How is Father?”
“His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess.” De Hai said, with a bit of embarrassment in his tone, “I can’t tell the old slave. Now the Royal Doctor Wang is treating His Highness inside, and it has been some time since he went in.”
“However, Your Highness needn’t worry too much. Your Majesty will be fine with God’s protection.”
Maybe there are too many people asking, this set of answers is smooth and official.
“Since the beginning of summer, my father’s dragon body has been feeling unwell. Fortunately, there is a prescription from the Royal Physician Wang to take care of it, so it can be relieved. But why has it worsened recently?” Qin Yu said, not wanting to hear these perfunctory words , “Maybe what happened?”
“I can’t hide it from Your Highness.” De Hai nodded in response. It stands to reason that the things in the court should not be revealed to others, but the identity of the eldest princess is different. What’s more, although she is in a high position, she has never looked down on the palace people like them , I should not hide it from her. After a pause, I still said truthfully, “It’s all because of Xu Bei.”
really.
Because of the root cause of his illness from fighting around in the early years, the emperor has suffered from several serious illnesses in recent years, but his temperament has changed completely unlike this time.
It seems a little puzzling, but if you think about it carefully, you can find the reason.
There are no more than two kinds of answers, one comes from the outside world, maybe some major event has happened recently, or the emperor has heard some meaningful rumors, and the other comes from the inside, stemming from his own state.
Maybe… this time the illness was different from the previous ones, and the fearless father began to feel uneasy.
The more you get, the more you are afraid of losing, no matter the power or the country.
Recently, the emperor’s guard against her has become more and more obvious. Unlike other courtiers, Qin Yuci does not need to go to court every day, unless something important happens or the emperor summons her.
In order to prevent the emperor from being suspicious of her, thinking that she was too close to the court to care about court affairs, Qin Yuci’s frequency of going to court was not high, but it did not mean that she was completely ignorant of the affairs of the court.
On the contrary, she knew exactly what happened in the early court, which ministers disagreed, which position people neglected their duties, what orders the emperor issued, and what decisions were made, she knew very well.
Especially with the recent incident of Xu Bei, the gaffe was so serious that no one in the court knew about it, so how could she not know about it.
When it can’t be delayed any longer.
“I know.” Qin Yuci responded, with a lot of turmoil in his heart, but he didn’t show it on his face. He respectfully thanked De Hai, and then said, “Please take good care of my father, father-in-law.”
“If the father’s condition improves, please send someone to the branch of Changle Palace.”
After finishing speaking, Qin Yuci quickly received a response. Qin Yuci thanked him with a chuckle, turned around and left without saying anything.
Chaoyun beside her quickly followed her, one master and one servant turned their backs to the crowd and drifted away, just like this, slowly returned to Changle Palace, and moved directly to Qin Yuci’s study room without even entering the sleeping hall.
“Princess.” Chao Yun said, with doubts in his voice, “After traveling for so long, why don’t you take a rest first?”
“No.” Qin Yuci responded, and casually picked up the pen beside the desk, without saying anything, instead he quickly drew up a note.
Then he raised his eyes to look at Chaoyun: “Send it to Taiji Hall personally.”
“Is the princess worried about Xu Bei?” Chao Yun said, with some hesitation in his voice, “But now that His Majesty’s dragon body is ill, I’m afraid it won’t be…”
“Father will read it.” Qin Yu said, “Just send it.”
“Here.” Seeing that the princess is so firm, she must be completely sure. Zhao Yun knew that he was not as smart and eloquent as Xi Xue and Mo Ran, so he walked out slowly without saying anything.
Time passed slowly like this, and about an hour later, a palace official came to report quickly, saying that His Majesty had woken up, read the princess’s book, and specially sent her to the Tai Chi Hall.
“If that’s the case, then let’s go.” Qin Yuci nodded in response, without saying anything else, followed the palace servants to the Tai Chi Hall, and after paying respectful salutes, stepped into the bedroom hall. Looking up, the emperor really had awakened at this time, Sitting at the table and drinking medicine.
Today’s him is very different from the past, his face is pale, his clothes are disheveled, his figure is not as straight as before, and there are a few strands of white hair that cannot be concealed scattered on his temples.
With the proud and upright aura of the emperor gone, now he looks like the most ordinary person, even… a bit old.
“Father.” Qin Yu resigned, and bowed again after coming to the emperor, “Is your health better?”
“It’s much better.” The emperor nodded, as if he didn’t want to show his sickness, so he raised his lips and called her slowly, “Ci’er, come here.”
“Yes.” Qin Yuci responded, and when he saw him smiling at him, he also curled his lips into a light smile, leaned over and sat on the jade stool by the desk, and listened to the emperor without waiting for more words, ” I have read the brochure you sent today, father, it is hard work to say goodbye.”
“The disaster in Xubei is so serious that the common people have no means of living. I am really sad.” The emperor sneered and raised his hand to knock on the table, “However, no one in the court is willing to take the initiative to take on this matter, but a group of incompetent people , and now I want my daughter to worry with me!”
“My father is serious, my daughter is not bitter.” Qin Yuci shook his head in response, raised his hand and gently poured him a cup of tea to comfort him, “Yuci is not only my father’s daughter, but also your subject, so I should share your worries.”
“Ci’er reassures me.” The emperor raised his eyes to look at her, and sighed softly after a long while, “With your heart, the emperor will reward you well in the future.”
“There is no need for rewards.” Qin Yuci smiled and shook his head, and said softly, “As long as the father takes good care of his health, it is the greatest reward for his daughter.”
“What’s more, now that the common people are in dire straits, how can I, as the eldest princess of Dazhao, turn a blind eye to it and ignore it?”
I didn’t expect her to say that.
The emperor paused in response, and after a while his smile became wider. He raised his hand and patted Qin Yuci’s shoulder, “Ci’er is worthy of being my daughter.”
“There are too many affairs in the court. Although I am sick now, I still have to go to court in the morning.” Then he said, “You can go tomorrow too.”
These words sounded like they were implying something.
“Yes.” Qin Yu resigned, knowing that he didn’t want to talk any more, so he got up slowly, “Since that’s the case, my daughter won’t bother my father anymore. I hope you have a good rest and take care of your dragon body.”
“Yes, yes.” The emperor smiled, his attitude was always kind and kind.
At this moment, the two always looked like a pair of father and daughter from an ordinary family, with intimacy and trust in their words, and a harmonious and warm atmosphere.
But… After all, it’s just like.
On the morning of the second day, Qin Yuci went to the court as agreed yesterday, but he didn’t expect to meet an unexpected person, and he didn’t want the emperor to change yesterday and say something completely different from before.
He did mention Xu Bei’s matter, and mentioned that since most courtiers in the court were unwilling to take over the matter, after weighing the pros and cons, they had to send someone else.
And that person is—
“Qin Yuewei.” The emperor said, with a correct and serious tone, “I leave this matter to you.”
