On the ground was the letter that Concubine De had dropped in her "panic" just now.

Jixiang picked up the letter and opened it.

The new emperor Tian Qiquan never imagined that he was so anxious about the previous emperor's coffin being brought to the capital that he finally fell asleep at the hour of Yin. Unexpectedly, when he opened his eyes the next day, he felt that he could not move at all.

Even, I couldn't speak.

He was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead.

But last night he was annoyed by the noise made by Eunuch Liang and others serving him, so he drove them all out. Now, even if he wanted someone to come and serve him, he couldn't find anyone.

He could only stare with his eyes rolling around, but was at a loss what to do.

Eunuch Liang and a few young eunuchs had actually been waiting outside the palace for a long time, but because the new emperor had not called for anyone to serve them, they did not dare to go in.

Seeing that the time for court was approaching, Eunuch Liang became anxious and signaled to the eunuch beside him, "Go in and see if the emperor needs any service?"

Although the young eunuch didn't want to go in, he dared not disobey Eunuch Liang's orders, so he had to gently push open the wooden door, for fear of disturbing the new emperor who was sleeping inside.

When the young eunuch tiptoed in, Eunuch Liang carefully approached the crack in the door and looked inside.

There seemed to be no movement on the dragon bed.

What's wrong with the emperor today? If he can't get up, the morning court will be delayed.

Just as Eunuch Liang was pacing outside the door with a worried look on his face, the eunuch's frightened voice suddenly came from inside the room, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?!"

Eunuch Liang pushed the door open with a bang and rushed in, shouting in his duck-like voice, "Your Majesty!"

The new emperor on the dragon bed could not move anything except his eyeballs.

He made a gurgling sound in his throat, but he couldn't utter a word.

When Eunuch Liang saw the new emperor like this, he was shocked and said, "Doctor, go find the doctor!"

For a moment, the bedroom was in chaos.

When Lan Ruyun heard that the emperor felt itchy, she thought it was just a minor illness like a cold. It was not until she heard the eunuch say that the emperor could not move his whole body that she became a little panicked and hurried out.

"Quick, quick, follow me to the Emperor's Palace of Heavenly Purity!"

When Lan Ruyun arrived at the Qianqing Palace, Tang Yuanzheng was already treating the new emperor. However, he took the emperor's pulse three times in a row and could not find anything wrong. He had no choice but to ask Doctor Li and others from the Imperial Hospital to come forward and treat the emperor.

As a result, after several imperial doctors finished their examinations, they all looked at each other and shook their heads.

Eunuch Liang asked anxiously, "What's going on with the emperor?"

Tang Yuanzheng was a little confused. "It's strange. The emperor's condition clearly shows symptoms, but several of us imperial doctors have taken his pulse, and judging from the pulse, the emperor doesn't have any problems."

"Yes, yes, the emperor is indeed fine."

Lan Ruyun walked to the bed, looked at Tian Qiquan with her own eyes, and called out, "Your Majesty!"

But Tian Qiquan just looked at her with anxious eyes and couldn't say a word.

"The emperor can't even speak, isn't this a problem?! Tang Yuanzheng, does the imperial physician of your Imperial Hospital have other thoughts and doesn't want to treat the emperor?!"

"The Queen is innocent!" Tang Yuanzheng quickly knelt down.

Upon seeing this, the other imperial doctors also knelt down.

"It's not that we don't want to treat the emperor, it's just that we can't prescribe medicine based on his pulse." Tang Yuanzheng continued.

Lan Ruyun frowned and looked at the kneeling doctors in disbelief.

Then he seemed to have thought of something and looked at Eunuch Liang, "What did the emperor do last night?"

Then, Eunuch Liang briefly recounted the story of the Emperor's anxiety over Prince Ning's carrying the coffin into the capital.

Lan Rujun was puzzled. "Just one incident shouldn't have caused the emperor to be in such a state."

At this time, a eunuch came in hurriedly and whispered a few words in Eunuch Liang's ear.

Eunuch Liang was in a dilemma and looked at Lan Ruyun, "Empress, the court officials are waiting outside for the Emperor to come to court. Your Majesty, what you are doing..."

"Stop, stop!" Lan Ruyun was unhappy. "The emperor is already like this, why should he attend the court? Let them all go back and do their own things."

"Yes." Eunuch Liang immediately asked the young eunuch to pass on the message.

But the eunuch came back soon, "Empress, the Dali Temple official asked the emperor what happened. He said that the emperor would only suspend court on New Year's Eve and major festivals. The emperor should give a reason for suspending court at this time."

Lan Ruyun was furious, but she knew she couldn't lose her temper at this moment, so she looked at Eunuch Liang and asked, "Eunuch Liang, how should we explain this to the ministers?"

Eunuch Liang said, "It's best to tell the truth and say that the emperor is ill, but the prince is not in the palace now. If the ministers knew that the emperor was ill, they would definitely find someone to supervise the country, and then there would be chaos again."

"Then keep it a secret for now," he said, looking at the young eunuch, "Go tell Yan Henian that the emperor has caught a cold and feels tired today, so he won't attend the morning court for the time being."

The young eunuch quickly responded.

Lan Ruyun looked at Eunuch Liang again, "But what if the emperor can't go to court tomorrow?"

At this time, the new emperor was lying on the bed, he was so angry that fire was about to come out of his eyes. He was in such a state, but these people did not want to help him with treatment quickly, but instead worried about tomorrow's morning court.

When he gets better, he will definitely punish these people. It is obvious that he does not exist in their eyes.

Thinking of this, the new emperor became even more angry.

He was so angry that he pounded the bed!

Boom boom, boom boom!

The new emperor was suddenly surprised that his hands moved!

He raised his foot and slammed the bed hard, and there was also a thumping sound!

His feet can move too!

Joy came so quietly.

The new emperor suddenly felt reborn and turned to look at Lan Ruyun and the others.

As a result, he met the frightened gazes of Lan Ruyun, Tang Yuanzheng, Eunuch Liang and others.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, can you move?!" Eunuch Liang was quick to react. He quickly came to the new emperor and checked him with surprise.

Tang Yuanzheng also reacted at this time, and hurried over to check the pulse of the new emperor, and then happily said, "Your Majesty, you are fine, how do you feel now?"

Tian Qiquan looked at them coldly, "If I can't get up by myself, are you really going to watch me become paralyzed?"

When they heard this, they all knelt down on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not!"

But Tang Yuanzheng frowned, "The emperor was clearly unable to move before, how come he could move again suddenly? This is very strange."

When Tian Qiquan heard what Tang Yuanzheng said, he asked casually, "But is someone trying to harm me?"

As soon as he said this, everyone present was surprised.

Eunuch Liang kowtowed quickly, "Your Majesty, I have been guarding the door last night, and no one has entered or left the palace. Also, I have tasted the food last night, and there is no problem."

Tang Yuanzheng added, "The emperor is indeed not poisoned. This old minister did not find any signs of poisoning in the emperor."

"Then why am I doing this?!" Tian Qiquan said with a cold face.

From the moment he opened his eyes, he was immersed in fear. If someone really wanted to attack him, he would have stopped breathing by now.

But, if no one attacked me, why couldn't I move my hands and feet just now?

"Where are Prince Ning and the others?" Tian Qiquan suddenly asked.

This question again stunned everyone.

It was still Eunuch Liang who responded quickly. "There was a report this morning saying that they were still outside of Lanjia Mountain and had not moved."

"Oh." Tian Qiquan seemed to be thinking about something.
