Chapter 627 Emperor Yongping is Critically Ill

At night, the family sat under the flower trees in the yard to eat. Gu Huanxi made a birthday cake by herself and lit specially made candles on it, one for each year of their life, which also represented the number of years they had been in this world.

Before I knew it, more than ten years have passed!

Looking back now, Gu Huanxi feels as if it were a dream.

Xu Huaiyi was much more heartless. He dragged his son to sing a birthday song together. His tone was cheerful and his emotions were full. He was particularly free and easy. He did not have the serious and solemn appearance of the Duke of Zhenguo in the court at all.

Fortunately, there were only four of them in the yard and no servants, otherwise they would have been shocked.

Zhuangzhuang, the young master of the Duke's Mansion, was a boy of eight or nine years old, at the age when he should be proud. However, he was forced to sing by his own father, a torture that made him lose the will to live.

Ah Li sat with a smile on his face, with bright eyes, white teeth, and a delicate face, as graceful as a lotus flower just blooming.

As Gu Huanxi watched, a sentence popped up in his mind: My daughter has grown up.

But today was destined to be an unusual day, and the joyful atmosphere was quickly disrupted.

News came from the palace, ordering Xu Huaiyi to enter the palace.

It was late at night and the palace gates had been closed long ago. Unless something earth-shattering happened, the palace gates would never open.

But the person who came to summon him was the senior eunuch beside Emperor Yongping, who was accompanied by Han Cheng's subordinates, so Xu Huaiyi had no excuse not to go.

While going into the house to change clothes, Xu Huaiyi whispered, "Something might have happened in the palace, you should all be careful at home. When I leave, get in the car. Don't come out until I come back..."

Gu Huanxi frowned and looked at him worriedly, "Isn't this another trap set by someone? They're just waiting for you to jump in..."

Xu Huaiyi pondered and said, "It's possible. However, with Han Jun in the palace, things should be under control. Besides, Xiaoyu is here too. In recent years, he has not only taken control of the court, but has also been constantly cleaning up the harem. It's much cleaner than before. Don't worry, I'll be fine. Even if it's a trap, I can protect myself..."

Gu Huanxi warned worriedly, "Don't act on impulse..."

The family was able to hide in the RV, but the people following them couldn’t escape.

Xu Huaiyi understood and nodded, "I won't flip the table unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Try to find an opportunity to get into the car and pass on a message..."

"it is good!"

Xu Huaiyi agreed verbally, but Gu Huanxi waited and waited but no one showed up. One can imagine the torment in his heart. The fact that Xu Huaiyi was unable to enter the RV showed that something serious had happened, forcing him to stay under everyone's eyes and unable to leave.

Was he caught?

It was not until after eleven o'clock at night that Xu Huaiyi appeared in the car and hurriedly explained a few words, "I'm fine. It's Emperor Yongping who is dying, so he summoned me to the palace. I have been waiting in his bedroom before. There are guards and eunuchs watching beside me. It is inconvenient for me to pass on the news to you, so I deliberately drank a few more pots of tea. Now I have some free time under the pretext of going to the toilet.

Emperor Yongping was conscious for a quarter of an hour before and said he wanted to see me, but when I arrived, he fainted again. The imperial physician is trying to save him, but I guess he can still be conscious for a while. He probably wants to say something before he dies.

The Empress Dowager is in charge of the situation, but don't worry, Xiaoyu and Han Jun are also here, the court and the harem are still under control, there won't be any danger."

After hearing this, Gu Huanxi quickly asked, "You are the only one being summoned?"

Xu Huaiyi nodded hesitantly, and then explained, "That was true at the beginning, but after he fainted again, the imperial physician tactfully said that he might not survive, so Xiaoyu asked someone to invite several ministers from the cabinet. Later, Han Jun reminded him to call all officials above the third rank in the court..."

"Where are the military commanders? Where are the palace's defenses? Are there any major changes?"

"I didn't notice anything unusual. Don't worry. I know what's going on. Emperor Yongping can't make any more waves. Besides, if he doesn't pass the throne to Xiaoyu, who else can he pass it to? The fourth and fifth princes were both abolished, and the sixth prince gave up on his own initiative. The seventh prince is still young and has no support. Even if he wants to issue an order, the civil and military officials in the court will not agree. The crown prince has done nothing wrong. As for the foundation of the country, even if he is the emperor, his words don't count..."

Gu Huanxi was still worried. "In short, you should be more careful. If you find something wrong, don't worry about anything and get in the car quickly."

Xu Huaiyi nodded in agreement and hurried out again, but this time he put a self-defense weapon in his sleeve, just in case. When entering the palace, he would be strictly searched and was not allowed to bring any weapons. It would be much more convenient with the RV.

After he left, Gu Huanxi coaxed the two children to sleep first. Now the RV had been remodeled by Xu Huaiyi and it was more than enough to sleep their family of four. They could each have their own independent and private space without disturbing each other.

The car was so quiet that he didn't know what time it was. Gu Huanxi leaned against the head of the bed with his eyes closed. He didn't feel sleepy at all. The more he tried not to think about it, the more he couldn't control himself. All kinds of conspiracy theories kept playing out in his mind, making him feel upset and he couldn't lie down anymore.

The atmosphere in the palace was just as she had imagined, depressing and heavy, with a hint of impending storm, making people feel uneasy and silent.

The court officials waiting outside didn't even dare to make eye contact. They all hung their heads, as if they were immersed in their own thoughts.

Several people in the cabinet looked solemn, especially when they learned that Xu Huaiyi was the first to be summoned, Prime Minister Sun's face changed immediately.

This is definitely not a good thing.

But with the guards surrounding them, no one dared to act rashly, as any word or action at this time could bring disaster.

Waiting is the most torturous thing, especially in the current situation where there are so many unknowns and variables, which is even more dangerous.

When the news came from the bedroom that Emperor Yongping had regained consciousness, everyone was surprised at first, but after seeing the condition of Emperor Yongping with their own eyes, their hearts sank.

This is a last glimmer of light!

Emperor Yongping lay in bed for three years and was taken care of meticulously, but the long-term bedriddenness made it difficult for him to eat, and he uncontrollably lost weight, even to the point of being unrecognizable and looking a little unfamiliar.

Especially at this moment of sudden clarity of consciousness, he felt as if he had swallowed an elixir. All the pain disappeared, and his body felt more relaxed than ever before. He could even sit up with the help of a pillow, and even his hands and feet could move slightly. His speech was not affected at all. Compared with the past, he was like a different person, and it looked weird no matter how you looked at him.

Of course, the court officials did not dare to look the emperor directly in the eye, but Xu Huaiyi did not have that burden. He looked at him calmly for several times, with a complicated feeling in his heart.

Emperor Yongping did not look at him. He first spoke to the court officials for a while, basically asking them to assist the prince well and govern the Yong Dynasty well in the future. He then called the prince to his bedside and carefully explained a few words about how to be a monarch. Finally, he asked everyone to leave, leaving only Xu Huaiyi.

Xu Huaiyi's guard instantly reached its maximum!
