Travel through Shen Meizhuang to open the system and walk sideways in the harem

Wen Shichu's face was covered in sweat, with beads of sweat sliding down his cheeks and dripping onto the ground. His face was solemn, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed a hint of anxiety and tension.

He was the chief judge of the Imperial Hospital and the backbone of the imperial doctors. At this moment, he was standing in front of the emperor's bed, with his hands tightly on the emperor's wrists. His fingers trembled slightly, as if he was trying to feel the emperor's pulse.

Wen Shichu's breathing became rapid and heavy, as if every breath carried tremendous pressure.

The doctors around watched this scene quietly, no one dared to make a sound, for fear of disturbing Wen Shichu's diagnosis. The whole room was filled with a tense atmosphere, making people feel suffocated.

Shen Meimei was standing not far away. She was staring at the imperial physician in the bedroom with an anxious look on her face.

"What's the matter? Doctor Wen, what happened to the emperor?"

After a long time, Doctor Wen stood up and bowed to Shen Meimei:

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is..."

He hesitated for a moment and was unable to speak.

Shen Meimei is impatient and said anxiously:

"Doctor Wen, please tell me, what happened to the emperor? When will he wake up?"

Wen Shichu made up his mind and said immediately:

"Empress Hui, the emperor has been overindulging himself in sexual activities and taking too many poisonous drugs, which is why he is like this. I can only prescribe some mild and gentle prescriptions, but whether the emperor can wake up depends on God's will!"

Shen Meimei was stunned when she heard this. These days, the emperor was reveling every night, and sometimes he would favor several concubines in one night. It turns out that excessive indulgence can really kill people.

"Don't let a single word of this leak out, remember! The emperor just caught a cold, he's just not feeling well, and needs to rest.

Concubine Duan and Concubine Xin, the two of you stay here to take care of the emperor. Remember not to let anyone know that the emperor is seriously ill!

The rest of you, please go to the front hall with me. I'm afraid there will be chaos in front of me by now!"

Shen Meimei gave instructions in an orderly manner.

Soon, Su Peisheng came in and reported, "Prince Guo, Prince Shen has arrived, and General Zhen has led 5,000 soldiers to wait at the palace gate, ready to obey the Queen's orders at any time!"

"Okay, gather all the princes and princesses in the Yangxin Palace. Concubine Duan, you are responsible for taking good care of these princes and princesses. Without my order, no one is allowed to leave the Yangxin Palace!"

Shen Meimei instructed Su Peisheng to bring people from various palaces, as she was worried that someone would rebel while the emperor was unconscious.

In Jingren Palace, the Queen learned that the Emperor was seriously ill. She was a little sad at first, but she quickly reacted.

"Empress, the Fourth Prince is outside asking to see you!" Jianqiu reported anxiously.

"Why is he coming to Jingren Palace at this time? It seems that the emperor is dying!" When the queen heard that Hongli wanted to see her, she was delighted. With the Fourth Prince by her side, she had a chance to turn things around.

"Let him in!" said the Queen.

As soon as Hongli entered Jingren Palace, he immediately knelt down respectfully and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Empress Dowager. You have suffered so much!"

The queen never dreamed that Hongli would be so respectful. She smiled and asked:

"The emperor is seriously ill, and you are not by his side to take care of him. Why did you run to Jingren Palace? Do you know that I have harmed you before and even wanted to kill you?"

Hongli was not in a hurry, and bowed and said:

"I know that the imperial family is the most ruthless.

Back then, the Empress Dowager poisoned me in order to pave the way for the Third Prince. Now that the Third Prince has gone to Shengjing, he has no chance of becoming Emperor.

Apart from my third brother, I am the eldest son, and my mother is the empress. Now that my father is seriously ill, Empress Hui has blocked the news, but I know that my father is in great danger.

There are no eternal enemies in the harem, only eternal interests. I hope that the Empress Dowager can help me ascend to the throne. When the time comes, I will serve you wholeheartedly and be filial to you. "
