Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

Chapter 162 The nobleman vomited blood

Today, an imperial decree suddenly affected the entire capital. This imperial decree shocked and confused people. The originally peaceful capital suddenly became lively, and people in the streets and alleys were talking about it.

A shocking news spread throughout the capital: the emperor suddenly felt unwell! This news shook everyone's heart like thunder. The people in the capital began to worry about the future of the country. They speculated how serious the emperor's illness was and whether it would affect the stability of the government.

At the same time, another piece of news also attracted people's attention: Prince Kang and the following princes entered the palace to take care of the emperor. This decision made people realize the seriousness of the situation. The princes were summoned to the palace, which meant that the court was facing a major challenge. They would shoulder the responsibility of taking care of the emperor and maintaining the stability of the court. As one of the strong contenders for the throne, Prince Kang's actions attracted much attention.

The capital was in a tense atmosphere, and people expected King Kang to show his outstanding leadership and lead everyone through the difficulties. However, no one knew how the crisis would develop and whether King Kang could stand up at the critical moment and become a true leader.

At this turbulent time, the fate of the capital seems to be hanging by a thread. Everyone is anxiously waiting, hoping that King Kang and other princes can bring good news to everyone. And in the palace, a contest of life and death is quietly unfolding...

The ministers speculated about the emperor's condition, and for a moment, the court was in a panic. In the harem, all the concubines went to visit him, but were stopped by the queen.

"My sisters are thoughtful, but His Majesty needs to rest, so you should go back." The Queen said solemnly.

However, everyone knew that this was just an excuse from the Queen. At this time, whoever could serve the Emperor at his side could become the mother of the next Emperor. Therefore, all the concubines were unwilling to leave, and a war without gunpowder began.

Just when everyone was at a stalemate, a maid suddenly rushed over and reported to the queen: "Your Majesty, the Concubine Xian has fainted!" The queen's eyes flashed with surprise, but she quickly regained her composure. She turned to the concubines and said, "In this case, sisters, please follow me to see Concubine Xian." After that, she took the lead and walked towards Concubine Xian's bedroom. Although the concubines were unwilling, they had no choice but to follow. However, what they didn't know was that all this was a trap set by the queen.

It turns out that the Queen had already known that the Emperor's illness was not serious, but she had deliberately spread the rumor to attract the attention of various forces. She intended to observe the reactions of the concubines through this incident and find out the potential threats. The fainting of Concubine Xian was also deliberately arranged by the Queen in order to divert everyone's attention.

The harem at this time seemed calm, but in fact, there were undercurrents. Everyone had their own agenda and was calculating their own interests. What would happen next?

(Since the confinement of Concubine Shu, the Emperor has appointed several concubines.) The high-ranking ones include Concubine Xiao (Xiao Nanqing, the legitimate sister of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet) and Concubine Ling (Ling Qiu, the concubine sister of Concubine Ling). The low-ranking ones include Concubine Lin (Lin Feifei, the concubine sister of Minister Lin Hai)

"Sister Xianfei, what happened to you?" The Queen brought everyone to Xianfei's bedroom.

As soon as he entered the palace, he saw Concubine Xian had woken up and was lying weakly on the bed. When she saw the Queen and all the concubines had arrived, she struggled to get up.

"Empress, I'm fine. How's the Emperor?" asked Concubine Xian weakly.

Lin Feifei, the concubine sister of Shangshu Lin Hai, rushed to answer, "My Lady Concubine, I haven't seen the Emperor yet."

The Queen gave Lin Feifei a look and she shut up immediately. "Don't worry, Concubine Xian. His Majesty is in good health." The Queen consoled her, "Just take good care of yourself." Concubine Xian nodded, "Thank you for your concern, Queen."

At this time, the imperial physician came to report, "Empress, Concubine Xian is no longer in danger. She just needs a few days of recuperation." The Empress ordered, "Please take good care of Concubine Xian." The imperial physician obeyed the order and left.

"Since Concubine Xian is fine, we are relieved." Concubine Xiao said, "Sisters, you should go back first so as not to disturb Concubine Xian's rest." "Yes, sister is right." The concubines echoed.

So, everyone left the Xianfei's palace. After everyone left, the queen showed a barely perceptible smile. She knew that her plan was half successful. Next, she only needed to wait for the right time to completely eliminate those who were a threat to the queen's position...

After the queen returned to her palace, she immediately sent her personal maid to investigate the real reason why Concubine Xian fainted. Soon after, the maid reported that Concubine Xian fainted because she was weak after inhaling the soul-loving grass, and there was nothing unusual. The queen was relieved after hearing this, but she still decided to act cautiously.

Meanwhile, after Lingpin returned to her residence, she felt something was wrong. She thought today's incident was too coincidental. Why did Concubine Xian faint at this time? She suspected that this was a trap set by the Queen, but she had no evidence. So, she decided to go to her sister Ling Guiren to discuss countermeasures.

After listening to Concubine Ling's analysis, Concubine Ling also thought that there was something fishy about this matter. But she told Concubine Ling not to act rashly, so as not to bring trouble upon herself. What they should do now is to wait and see what the Queen will do next. After all, in this deep palace, a little carelessness could lead to eternal damnation.

Meanwhile, Concubine Xiao was also thinking about what happened today. She felt that the Queen's behavior was a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. She decided to hold off for the time being and wait for a better opportunity.

After all, Concubine Ling was someone the emperor loved deeply, so she still had some means. She was pale, her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes revealed a hint of determination and ruthlessness.

She took a deep breath, then shouted with all her strength: "Someone come! I feel unwell, call the imperial physician here immediately!" The voice resounded throughout the palace, carrying an irresistible majesty.

The palace maids nearby were startled, but they immediately reacted and hurriedly replied, "Yes! Go and call the imperial physician!" As they spoke, they hurriedly ran out to find the imperial physician.

Concubine Ling clenched her teeth tightly, the muscles on her face twisted in pain, and sweat dripped from her forehead.

Soon, the imperial doctors rushed over. They gathered around Concubine Ling's bed and carefully examined her. One of the elderly doctors frowned and said softly, "Don't panic, Concubine Ling. Her pulse is stable and there is nothing serious."

Concubine Ling felt depressed, she knew her plan had failed. She had originally wanted to use her illness to attract the emperor's attention, but she was discovered by the imperial physician.

At this moment, she felt hopeless and powerless. "A bunch of rubbish!" Ling Guiren cursed angrily, "Get out! Get out of here!" The imperial doctors were so scared that they quickly left the room. Ling Guiren lay on the bed, tears streaming down her cheeks.

She didn't understand why no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get the emperor's favor. And now, even getting sick didn't work. Was she really going to die alone in this cold palace?

After she finished speaking, a streak of blood actually flowed from the corner of her mouth. This streak of blood seemed to be a symbol of the pain and fatigue hidden in her body, flowing out silently. The palace maids watched this scene in horror, their eyes full of worry and panic. One of the palace maids shouted in a trembling voice: "Imperial Physician, Imperial Physician, the noble lady is vomiting blood!" Her voice was filled with anxiety and fear, echoing in the corridors of the palace.

The imperial doctors who had just left heard the news and hurried back. They had nervous expressions on their faces and hurried steps, fearing that they would be delayed for a moment.

Her personal maid went to report to the Queen and the Emperor.

When the emperor heard that Concubine Ling had vomited blood, he was still a little nervous. After all, she was his favorite concubine! But the emperor was still "sick" and it was not appropriate for him to go out. So the emperor asked the queen to visit her and told her that if Concubine Ling's illness was real, she should be promoted to a higher position.

When the queen heard the news, she was a little unhappy, but she still obeyed the order and went to Lanyue Pavilion.

When she arrived at Lanyue Pavilion, Prince Xuan and Prince Xian also heard the bad news. When they saw the queen, they hurriedly bowed and said, "Your son greets the queen. May you be well." They bowed to the queen together.

The queen looked at them, smiled and nodded, then walked into Lanyue Pavilion.
