Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

Xie Shang smiled, "Please come in!"

Only after Zhu Zhenzhen entered the hall and bowed did Xie Shang ask, "Zhenzhen, why are you here at this time?"

"Your Highness asked me for a gift, and I have prepared it for you, so I am here." She deliberately said this in front of Tang Qianran to show that she has a good relationship with the prince.

Xie Shang was stunned and smiled, "It's been so long, and Zhenzhen hasn't forgotten." He couldn't remember what gift he had asked her for.

Then, he said to Wuxin, "Take Zhu Liangdi's gift and keep it for me."

"Yes." Wuxin took the bag that Meixiang handed over.

In fact, Zhu Zhenzhen wanted to give it to the prince personally to try, but there was another person present, so she couldn't take it out.

Xie Shang added, "Zhenzhen, have you had dinner? Ranran made some side dishes by herself. Come and have some with us."

At this time, Lin Feng ran in breathlessly, and heard the prince saying "Zhenzhen" and "Ranran". He almost vomited out the overnight meal. It was really pitiful that His Highness had to try so hard to please the ladies of the East Palace.

Seeing Lin Feng coming but not saying anything, Xie Shang's disdain for him was almost written on his face. He said in a cold voice, "Why are you in such a hurry? What happened?"

Lin Feng hurriedly said, "Your Highness, Eunuch Cao sent a message saying that the emperor has fainted. Please go and see him!"

Xie Shang quickly stood up from his seat and walked out, "Wu Xin will send the two young ladies back to the palace first."

As soon as Xie Shang arrived at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, he ran into Empress Cheng. He also bowed politely and said, "Your son pays his respects to your mother."

Queen Cheng looked at him with a flattering look, and without waiting for her to say anything, Xie Shang left.

Cao Zongguan's face was full of anxiety. "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Her Majesty the Queen."

"How is your Majesty?" the Crown Prince and the Queen said in unison.

"Doctor Mei is consulting inside."

The Queen asked, "How could His Majesty faint? He has always been in good health."

Chief Steward Cao no longer concealed the truth. "In fact, your Majesty often had headaches two years ago. Imperial Physician Mei has been treating your Majesty. He has been taking medicine every day and has never missed a day. However, it can only relieve the symptoms. Today, when your Majesty returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity after handling government affairs, he felt a headache and fainted from the pain. I immediately asked someone to invite the imperial physician..."

Empress Cheng had never known that the emperor had a headache. She only found out now. Tears welled up in her eyes and she went to the inner hall.

Xie Shang frowned, called Cao De outside the palace, and asked in a deep voice, "Father has been ill for so long, why didn't Chief Steward Cao tell us? Is there someone trying to harm Father..."

Chief Steward Cao explained, "It was His Majesty who forbade us to speak. Imperial Physician Mei has been examining the patient but could not find the cause. He said that the Emperor was simply too preoccupied with state affairs, which led to his headache. He also said that it was nothing serious and asked the Emperor to rest more and recuperate. Today was the first time he fainted.

The emperor's meals are all carefully checked. He is very cautious in this regard and never eats with his concubines, so it is impossible for someone to poison him."

The reason why Chief Steward Cao informed the Crown Prince and Queen Cheng was that he felt they should be informed. Otherwise, if something really happened, he would not be able to bear the consequences. The Emperor's health was deteriorating, and this matter could not be concealed.

Soon, Jiang Fenghua also rushed to the Qianqing Palace. She thought: Xie Shang would have to wait another year to become emperor, so this illness would not be life-threatening.

She walked up to Xie Shang and saw that he was anxious and his voice was trembling. "Ruan Ruan, why are you here?"

"Tang Liang Di said that the emperor fainted, so I rushed here." She held Xie Shang's hand to comfort him, "The emperor will be fine. Imperial Doctor Mei is a skilled doctor and will definitely cure him."

Half an hour later, after being treated by Imperial Doctor Mei, the Emperor slowly woke up. Upon seeing this, Empress Cheng immediately rushed over, tears rolling down her cheeks like pearls from a broken string, "Your Majesty, you are finally awake. I was so worried."

When the emperor saw Cheng Langjin, his eyes no longer had the usual fierce look. "I'm fine. I just fainted because I sat for too long."

"Butler Cao has already said that Your Majesty has been feeling unwell for a long time. How long are you going to keep this secret from me?" The Queen cried bitterly.

"I will punish Cao De..."

Queen Cheng said, "I want to reward him. If he doesn't tell me, I will regret it for the rest of my life. When I heard that Your Majesty had fainted, I couldn't even stand. It's all my fault. I was wrong. I'm sorry. It's because I always make you angry and make you so angry that you have a headache. If I could go back to the past, I would never quarrel with Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Empress Cheng sobbed, "Ever since I had a quarrel with Your Majesty, I have regretted it. I often think, if I could go back to the year when Your Majesty and I met, how great it would be! Then we could start over again.

Even if Your Majesty abolishes Lang Jin's position as Queen and exchanges Lang Jin's life for Xie Lang's, I am willing to do so."

Her eyes were swollen from crying, and she said with great emotion, "Lang Jin only wishes for Xie Lang to be safe. Lang Jin truly loves Xie Lang!"

Seeing her crying so sadly, the emperor held her hand and wiped away the tears from her eyes himself, "Lang'er, don't cry."

Empress Cheng threw herself on the emperor's chest and said, "Xie Lang, please get well soon. When you are well, I will play the piano for you and dance for you, okay? We will be like we were in the past. I am not the empress, and your majesty is not the emperor. I am just Xie Lang's Lang'er."

"Okay, I am Lang'er's Xie Lang, and I am not the emperor." The emperor said in a gentle voice. White hair grew on his temples, and this illness seemed to have aged him instantly.

On the other side, Jiang Fenghua was stunned watching Queen Cheng's performance. She didn't expect Queen Cheng to turn the tables so quickly. Does the Emperor really love Queen Cheng so much?

Xie Shang's eyes also turned red as he looked at the scene in the bedroom. He murmured, "It turns out that my father and mother loved each other so much when they were young, but they were delayed for their whole lives because of a misunderstanding."

When Jiang Fenghua heard the word "misunderstanding", she understood Xie Shang's attitude. She pretended to be envious and sighed, "When you are in love, you must love each other well. Don't waste your precious time on quarrels, otherwise you will regret it!"

Xie Shang asked Imperial Physician Mei about the emperor's condition. Imperial Physician Mei shook his head and said, "Your Highness, please be prepared. The emperor's headache is actually very serious. This is the first time he fainted. It may happen more frequently in the future. He may even have blurred memory. I have been looking for a diagnosis and treatment for your majesty."

Xie Shang asked anxiously, "How could it be so serious? Does Doctor Mei have any solution?"

"Your Majesty's pain can only be relieved by acupuncture. There is no other way to cure it." Doctor Mei said in a deep voice: "I estimate that Your Majesty has at most one year left."

Hearing this, Xie Shang felt his hands and feet go cold. How could such a powerful father be so fragile and could...
