After everyone left, Ye Zifen also moved to the side hall.

As soon as she stepped in, she saw two imperial doctors taking turns to check the emperor's pulse.

At this moment, the emperor was sitting on the couch in the outer room, and his dragon boots had been taken off.

I think it must be because of Zhang Gaoyi that the emperor had to condescend to rest on this couch.

Ye Zifen thought that she must bring Zhang Gaoyi back to the princess's mansion later, as the palace was not a place for them to live.

Ye Zifen stepped forward and bowed respectfully. She wanted to tell the emperor about the appointment of Duke Chongguo, but when her eyes met the emperor's tired face, she swallowed the words back.

After all, this matter has been announced in front of everyone. As the saying goes, "A king's words are not joking." Even if there are doubts in one's heart, all one can do now is to obey the order.

The emperor noticed Ye Zifen's arrival and naturally noticed the worried look on her face.

He waved his hand gently, motioning Ye Zifen to sit on a stool not far away.

Ye Zifen stood up as she was told and slowly sat down, her eyes fixed on every move of the two imperial doctors.

The imperial doctors took the emperor's pulse, and it took quite a long time.

After finally taking the patient's pulse, the two of them gathered together and discussed something in a low voice.

For Ye Zifen, every second of this waiting time was torture.

Finally, the long wait was over. When the two imperial doctors slowly turned around, Ye Zifen, who had been suppressing her anxiety, could no longer hold it back. She asked impatiently, "I wonder what the emperor's health is like now?"

However, what Ye Zifen never expected was that her concerned words would cause such an uproar.

The two imperial doctors were obviously surprised by her sudden question. They looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.

Because in this deep palace, it is a taboo to dare to directly ask the emperor about his health!

If it were any other concubine or palace maid, she would probably have lost her life by now, or at least would have been skinned alive!

Could it be that this Princess Fuxia is planning to murder the Emperor?

For a moment, the two imperial doctors were in a dilemma and had no idea how to answer.

At this moment, the emperor, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "It's okay, Princess Fuxia is also concerned about my health, you can just tell the truth."

Hearing this, the two imperial doctors felt as if they had been pardoned. After exchanging glances, one of them took a small step forward and respectfully saluted the emperor.

Then he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Princess, from what I have seen, Your Majesty's health is indeed getting weaker than before..."

When Ye Zifen heard this, her heart suddenly tightened and she subconsciously turned her gaze to the emperor's slightly pale face.

At this moment, although the emperor's face did not look very good, he only showed a little tiredness.

Not to mention that someone as young and perceptive as Ye Zifen could easily notice it, even an ordinary young person, with a little attention, could spot the fatigue on the emperor's face.

But even so, how can this be related to the so-called "weakness"?

Ye Zifen was full of doubts and frowned unconsciously.

However, when she thought of her various speculations about the emperor's illness, although she did not know exactly what illness the emperor had, the fact that the emperor had decided to entrust his son to the care of others so early in his life really made her suspicious.

Just as his thoughts were wandering, he suddenly heard the imperial physician say, "Your Majesty, the medicine you are taking is too strong. You must not continue to take it."

Hearing this, Ye Zifen was startled and suddenly turned her gaze to the emperor, then fell to her knees with a thud.

This action attracted the attention of everyone in the room, but Ye Zifen ignored it and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty? Medicine? What kind of medicine is this?"

In an instant, past memories flooded into her mind like a tide. She clearly recalled that several years ago when she was in Lujia Village, Master Shangguan had fed a medicine to the old patriarch Lu.

At this moment, an extremely strong intuition arose in her mind - the medicinal properties of the medicine taken by the emperor and the old patriarch were probably almost the same!

But she clearly remembered that Master Shangguan had solemnly warned her: "This medicine burns a person's vitality, and it only allows a person to wake up briefly. Do not take it lightly unless you have no other choice."

However, the emperor has not fallen into such a desperate situation yet. Why is it so? What is the reason?

Thinking of this, Ye Zifen couldn't help but feel a deep admiration for the emperor.

This emperor can be described as a wise and enlightened monarch.

He worked hard day and night, devoted himself to government affairs, and was conscientious in national affairs, not daring to slack off in the slightest. He was even more caring towards the common people, always keeping their sufferings in mind.

To his many princes, His Majesty is also a loving and kind father.

However, it is regrettable that these princes in the royal family have been exposed to the power struggles in the palace since childhood, and have begun to think about inheriting the throne and taking over.

They were scheming against each other secretly, each using their own methods in an attempt to win in this fierce competition, but no one really cared about the emperor's health.

At this moment, when the emperor saw Ye Zifen's loss of composure, he already understood in his heart that this child was so anxious just out of concern for him.

After all, as Ye Zifen is just a woman, the fight for the throne will not affect her no matter what.

Therefore, only from her can His Majesty truly feel the pure worry and concern.

At this moment, the emperor seemed to have experienced the family happiness that ordinary people have from Ye Zifen. This warm feeling made him feel very comforted, which was what he stole from his sister.

The emperor said slowly, "Okay! Ye girl, don't worry anymore. I know everything in my heart. Now you are married to the general, but the general was unfortunately injured while fighting bravely on the battlefield. With this in mind, I specially grant you the title of Duke of Chongguo as a small compensation for you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zifen shook her head slightly and said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, these are the duties of a general as a subject. I really don't deserve such a generous reward."

Upon hearing this, the emperor could not help but sigh and said earnestly: "Well, since you insist on not accepting it, let's not talk about this matter for now. You should go back quickly and accompany your husband to recover from his injuries. I know you are worried about me, but as you said, I really need to rest. After you leave, I will rest well."
