Qin Zhaoyue did not tell Wuye to his face that he could not be trusted. He sat by the bed and carefully observed the emperor's face. His face looked a little tired, but it did not look like a dying person's face.

Qin Zhaoyue stood up and said, "Take good care of Father. I will work with Mother to stabilize the affairs in the palace."

The imperial doctors all said yes.

The concubines who were ready to take care of the sick looked at each other, and no one spoke.

Qin Zhaoyue walked out of the bedroom. There were three layers of imperial guards outside guarding the place, and the defense was very tight.

Outside the palace, the queen, dressed in simple clothes, hurriedly walked in. She saw Qin Zhaoyue standing outside the bedroom at a glance, her face twisted for a moment, and then she strode forward without caring about her manners.

Qin Zhaoyue had been planning to ask Wuye, who was standing outside the door, something, but when he saw his mother rushing towards him, his expression froze, and he hurried down the steps to meet her, and stopped her ten meters outside the bedroom.

The Queen really shouted, "Your father is in a coma, why aren't you inside taking care of him? What if people outside talk about the Crown Prince being unfilial? What will you do, what will you do?"

Qin Zhaoyue choked up, held the Queen's arm and said gently: "Don't panic, mother, I have already seen the Emperor..."

"I've seen it! What's the use of seeing it! What will your father think if he wakes up and doesn't see you by his side!" The queen almost screamed.

"Mother." Qin Zhaoyue grabbed her arm tightly and said, "Mother, the ladies are all in the palace. If you shout like this, they will hear you."

The Queen calmed down almost immediately.

She stood up straight, brushed away Qin Zhaoyue's hand, and her face showed dignity again.

"Father won't wake up for the time being. Mother, please go in first. I want to ask what the situation is." Qin Zhaoyue said in a low voice.

The queen nodded and walked into the bedroom.

Everyone in the palace knelt down and saluted in unison. The queen called out, first scanning the faces of the concubines and frowning, "Why are you panicking! Your Majesty is unwell, everyone in the palace must be alert and must not panic! Imperial Concubine, you and I will stay in the bedroom today to take care of him, and the rest of you can go back to the palace first."

After all, she had been the Crown Princess and Queen for many years, so she arranged affairs in an orderly manner and nothing went wrong.

The concubines left one after another, and the bedroom became much more spacious.

Qin Zhaoyue looked at the orderly state of the palace, and finally turned his head to look at Wuye standing beside him: "What's the emperor's condition?"

Wuye said: "Your Highness, do you believe me?"

"You actually took that fool's nonsense seriously?" Qin Zhaoyue smiled, "How could I not believe you?"

Wu Ye curled his lips. If he hadn't been paying attention to Qin Zhaoyue's expression the whole time, he would have believed it.

He said, "...I am not completely sure. Your Majesty is unconscious this time, it is very likely that he was poisoned."

"What poison?" Qin Zhaoyue frowned.

"I don't know. This poison must be extremely small, and it has entered your Majesty's body over time. You fainted today, and it seems that your pulse is fine, but in fact it is just the mildest symptom. From now on..."

Wuye's words were very cryptic. Of course he wouldn't be stupid enough to say such a thing in public.

"Can you wake up?" Qin Zhaoyue asked.

"He will wake up within three hours, and then he will become weaker and weaker until..."

"Can you cure it?" Qin Zhaoyue stared at him.

Wu Ye was silent for a moment.

"Your Highness, do you think that I can cure it or not?" He threw the question back to Qin Zhaoyue.

Qin Zhaoyue looked at him and smiled. He said nothing and turned to go into the bedroom.

Wuye frowned.

……

The imperial physician always pretended to prescribe some mild medicine to replenish qi. Under the supervision of the empress, Qin Zhaoyue served the emperor wholeheartedly and finally waited for the emperor to wake up.

Qin Baiting slowly opened his eyes and saw the bright yellow tent top.

He came back to his senses quickly and immediately understood the current situation. Before he fell, he was still saying that it was not good, thinking that he had been ambushed, but now it seems that he is alive and well?

His hand sank and someone held it, followed by a surprised call.

"Father!" Qin Zhaoyue shouted.

"...Prince. You are here." The emperor said slowly.

Qin Zhaoyue helped him up and put a pillow under him. The queen sat at the end of the bed, her expression was not happy at all, and she said nothing.

"What happened?" the emperor asked, slowly glancing at the people in the bedroom.

"My father, you suddenly fainted when you were meeting with the chief inspector of the Hidden Dragon Guard. After calling the imperial physician, you were moved to the bedroom. Two hours have passed since then." Qin Zhaoyue said.

The imperial physician at the side said, "Your Majesty, please take care of your health and don't overwork yourself!"

"Everything is normal in the palace now, and there is no unusual movement. As for the news of your fainting, I informed Chen Shuo immediately and did not let it leak out." Qin Zhaoyue said.

The Queen said, "My sisters were extremely anxious and wanted to stay here to take care of me, but I felt that too many people would only cause more trouble, so I asked them to return to the palace and only kept the Imperial Concubine."

The imperial concubine was right behind the queen, also looking this way.

The emperor nodded slowly.

“You did a great job,” he said.

"Is your Majesty feeling unwell?" Qin Zhaoyue handed over a cup of water, but the emperor waved his hand to refuse.

"It's okay." He said. It was getting dark outside, and the warm yellow light of the palace lanterns shone through the window paper. "It's getting late, I'm fine, you all can go back."

Qin Zhaoyue said: "Father, please take care of yourself."

The emperor nodded.

Everyone left one after another.

In a blink of an eye, the only people left in the bedroom were the most experienced imperial physician and the emperor's close eunuchs Chen Shuo and Hu Guang.

"What's wrong with my body?" asked the emperor.

The imperial physician knelt down and replied, "Your Majesty, judging from your pulse, your body is fine. We even took the risk of using silver needles to prick you, but we found no signs of poisoning."

"...What do you think of the Nawuye that the prince brought?" asked the emperor.

"He said that there were no traces of witchcraft on Your Majesty's body, which is consistent with our judgment." said the imperial physician.

He also recounted how Doctor Meng said something he shouldn't have and how Qin Zhaoyue punished him.

The emperor nodded slowly.

"Chen Shuo, call Liu Hong and the Grand Tutor over." said the emperor.

Chen Shuo immediately went out to call for help. In fact, he knew that the emperor would summon these two confidants after he woke up, so he had already sent the message. Soon, the two men knelt beside the emperor's bed.

"Is there any unusual movement inside or outside the palace?" asked the emperor.

Liu Hong was the commander of the imperial guards. He said, "There is no unusual movement in the palace. Only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered me to mobilize troops to guard the palace. There is no other news."

The eunuch Hu Guang added: "Everything is normal in the six bureaus of the Central Palace."

The current Grand Tutor was no longer the Emperor's former teacher, but his student, one of the Emperor's direct descendants, who had also been an official before and had considerable experience.

"There is no unusual movement in the court. Only King Yin of Huaizhong Prefecture seems to be meeting with people frequently." The Grand Master said, "I wonder if he has taken any action."
