Chapter 617 The deadline is approaching
Today, bad news came from the southwest border. Xichuan gathered several major grassland forces and dispatched troops lined up in the border city.
The war was about to break out, and the emperor fell down inappropriately. The prince was in a state of great difficulty these days and was busy with all kinds of things.
After receiving Qianli''s urgent report, his hand holding the memorial was almost trembling slightly.
This is a premeditated plan, Yechuan Nobu felt a trace of conspiracy.
"Your Highness." The Crown Prince Zhan frowned slightly, "According to the speed of sending messages in the army, the letter should have been delivered to the prince. But there has been no reply for a long time. Could it be..."
Ye Chuanxin waved his hand, "No, if Huaizhi knew that Your Majesty was summoned, he would definitely come back. The road in Jiangnan is far, and it would be normal that he didn''t receive the letter for a while. Send someone to continue contacting you!"
"Yes." The prince and secretary retreated, and the two little eunuchs came into the house with toiletries and served Ye Chuanxin to wash his hands and change his clothes.
At this time, a noise came from outside the door, and the eunuch, the eunuch, rushed into the door and saluted, "Your Highness, Your Majesty is vomiting blood again. Now he has urgently recruited all the imperial physicians to enter the palace for consultation. Concubine Li has also rushed over..."
Yechuan Nobu put his clothes neatly again, nodded with a cold face, "Go and take a look."
The group left the East Palace and hurried to the emperor''s bedroom.
The lanterns shone all the way, and when they arrived at Qianding Palace, the door was filled with worried court officials.
Everyone saw the prince quickly bowed down to salute. Ye Chuanxin had no time to talk to them, so he waved his hands and walked towards the main entrance.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the door, he was blocked by Fu Dexiao who rushed out, "Your Highness, several imperial physicians are treating Your Majesty, and they cannot be admitted for the time being."
The officials looked at each other.
Because I didn''t know what the situation inside, I didn''t dare to speak out for a while.
Ye Chuan Nobu could understand it, nodded and stood aside and waited quietly.
There was a faint intermittent breathing in the hall, and a voice that was neither high nor low was heard faintly, "Sister Shufei, Your Majesty will be fine. You are crying endlessly now. Isn''t it too early?"
The crying suddenly came, and then Concubine Shu''s scream, "Concubine Lan, what do you mean by saying this? Don''t think of bullying us old people in the palace with the favor of the saint."
"Donglan dares not." The voice was always neither high nor low nor salty nor light, "If the truth makes my sister feel uncomfortable, then I won''t say it."
A gentle voice interrupted the two of them''s quarrel, "Concubine Shu, Concubine Lan is right. The imperial physicians are treating Your Majesty in the room. Before the results are obtained, it is better to say a few less words."
Xu Donglan smiled softly, stood up and saluted the woman sitting in the east.
Concubine Shu was so angry that she was itchy. Seeing that several plastic sisters with similar concubines in the house didn''t talk to her, she could only shut up.
I don’t know what the emperor has tried to get. I have been very kind to Xu Donglan in recent days, especially since I got sick, almost everyone except Xu Donglan was allowed to get close to him.
Xu Donglan was gentle and decent, but there were so many gentle women in the palace. I don’t know what tricks Xu Donglan, the fox charming boy, used to make the emperor confused and listen to her soft voice.
"Lan''er...Lan''er." The emperor shouted a few times in his throat.
Xu Donglan hurriedly stood up and walked over quickly, "Your Majesty, I''m here."
She asked the imperial physician beside her in a gentle voice, "Does Your Majesty want to drink water? Can Your Majesty drink water now?"
"Okay, thank you Concubine Lan. Just give Your Majesty a cup of warm water." Xu Donglan nodded, poured the water carefully, and tasted it personally and tried the water temperature, so she gave it to the old emperor.
Prince Yechuan Nobunaga''s biological mother, Empress Li, sat at the head of the bed, nodded to Xu Donglan, and said gently, "Thank you for your hard work in the past few days."
"Whether the Empress said, this is Lan''er''s duty."
The mother of the third prince Ye Yunyan and the sixth princess Renhui, Empress De, just glanced at the old emperor indifferently, sat aside without saying much, and kept watching coldly.
If it weren''t for the wrong occasion, Concubine De really wanted someone to come with melon seeds, and she was eating them while accompanying the bed.
The emperor is so hard that he can do something to the point of being thrust, and he will do something even more hard.
According to the regulations of the Great Qi Dynasty, the emperor would cry every seven days, and the court officials and family members had to participate in this mourning activity, crying for 70 to 49 days.
Concubine De secretly stroked the orchid''s fingers, feeling a little distracted. She is old and it will be a fatal matter for a day when she kneels on her knees. Not to mention the addition of the front line, the front line will take forty-nine days...
This kind of funeral activity is most suitable for young people to do. Knowing that you are above the age of heaven, you should not participate!
Just as he was thinking, when he saw several people turning to look at him, Concubine De was stunned and then smiled gently, "The deposed queen had been in Yongchang Palace for a long time, so the affairs of all and small in the palace should naturally be taken over by Concubine Li. Just discuss with them, I have no other opinion."
Concubine Li smiled softly, "We are all old. Judging from His Majesty''s intention, it should be that she intends to let Concubine Lan take charge of the affairs of the palace."
Concubine Lan hurriedly stood up and saluted with a smile on her lips, "Lan''er is still young, and many rules in the palace are just beginners, so how dare she be proud of her in front of all the empresses. Concubine Li is an old man in the palace and the birth mother of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so she should be in charge."
Concubine Shu was jealous of her seniority. When it comes to seniority, how can she get Concubine De Li? She is the mother of the eldest prince Yeteng, and she is the oldest among them. Why did the queen fall into Concubine Li?
Concubine Li was obviously satisfied with Xu Donglan''s knowledge and clapped her hands with a smile.
After the imperial physician whispered a few words to Concubine Li, Concubine Li called others out.
Xu Donglan hurriedly sent them to the door.
As soon as the door opened, the prince saw his mother holding a young and weak woman, and smiled softly, "Thank you for your hard work, and you will have to worry more in the future."
Xu Donglan bent over and bowed, her voice was ethereal and soft, "Don''t worry, Empress, Lan''er must do her best to live up to the empress''s entrustedness."
The prince glanced at her.
At that time, a faint yellow sunset halo fell on Xu Donglan''s left face. She lowered her head slightly to show respect. The first impression was that she was... quiet and elegant, like orchids and chrysanthemums.
Concubine Li winked at her son, then smiled and said to all court officials, "Your Majesty is not in health, please feel free to go back first."
The mother and son returned to Lifei''s yard one after another. Ye Chuan was anxious, "Mother, how is it like?"
Concubine Li took a sip of tea and sighed.
The personal old nanny signaled that all the servants and maids would go out. After closing the door, Concubine Li said quietly, "The official of the Imperial Hospital means that your father... can only last for about ten days at most."
"Ten days!" Ye Chuan Nobu couldn''t help but exclaim and quickly lowered his voice, "Mother, then we have to..."
Concubine Li nodded lightly, "Your grandfather is on guard."
