Everyone thought he was dying

"The imperial physician is treating the emperor's son inside. It is inconvenient to see General Ji. General Ji, please go back."

Empress Dowager Xu is still luxurious and graceful, and to the people below, she is like a high mountain.

Many years ago, when Ji Chen was a little beggar who was given food by Ye Yunze by accident, she looked innocent like this. Later, when he became a bandit leader and brought a group of brothers to join Ye Yunze, she The same is true, never really see him in the eyes.

It wasn't until he made many military exploits on the battlefield with a beast-like intuition and became Ye Yunze's number one confidant and favorite general that she was finally willing to give him her eyes, and condescended to let her beloved daughter marry him.Unfortunately, the marriage between Ji Chen and Princess Ye failed, and Empress Dowager Xu treated him worse than before.

Because Empress Dowager Xu is Ye Yunze's biological mother, Ji Chen respects her, but has always disliked her style.Now, Ye Yunze's life and death were lying in it, but Empress Dowager Xu didn't even let Ji Chen see him, and Ji Chen felt angry.

"Empress Dowager, I have a jade card specially given by the emperor. With this card, I can enter the palace to meet the emperor at any time." Ji Chen's voice was flat and dull, but there was no doubt about it.

There was a trace of coldness in the Queen Mother's gaze sweeping over Ji Chen.

At this moment, Ji Chen was still in the mood to think that the Empress Dowager and Princess Ye deserved to be mother and daughter, and they even looked alike when they were angry. The difference was that the Empress Dowager's eyes were more restrained and more confident than Princess Ye.

"This is the imperial palace, not the back garden of Ji's mansion. If General Ji really understands the truth, he should know what he can do and what he can't do. The emperor is in a daze. It's possible that General Ji has also forgotten his duty as a minister ?" Empress Dowager Xu's tone was like a knife, slashing towards Ji Chen inch by inch without mercy.

"The emperor doesn't know what's going on inside. The empress has the kung fu to be angry with the ministers. Why don't you think about how to make the emperor get better soon."

Empress Dowager Xu's face turned cold, Ji Chen said that, as if she didn't care about Ye Yunze enough, how could she be happy?Even if the mother-child relationship between her and Ye Yunze is not as good as before, it's still not Ji Chen's turn to speak.

"Are you accusing Aijia?" Empress Dowager Xu narrowed her phoenix eyes, and the armor on her hand shone with a cold light: "Who do you think you are!"

Ji Chen lowered his eyebrows and said in a down-to-earth way: "I dare not, I just beg the queen mother to put the overall situation first. Right now, nothing is as important as the emperor's body. If the emperor wakes up, he must also want to see the minister."

If Ye Yunze was still awake, Empress Dowager Xu would not have dared to block Ji Chen from the door so forcefully. The longer he lingered, the more worried Ji Chen would be about Ye Yunze, and he had to see Ye Yunze's injury with his own eyes.

The queen mother snorted coldly: "If it wasn't for you, how could the emperor be injured? You don't know why the emperor left the palace in a hurry? General Ji, I advise you to take care of yourself! If there is something wrong with the emperor, Aijia will never let you go!"

"Don't worry, Empress Dowager, the emperor will be fine." Ji Chen didn't take Empress Dowager Xu's threat to heart, he believed that Sylvia Yunze would not be willing to abandon him.If it's unlucky... Ye Yunze leaves first by himself, it's meaningless for him to live alone, so what if he goes with Ye Yunze?

As soon as he entered the inner hall, a strong smell of medicine came over his face, no wonder Empress Dowager Xu didn't stay in Ye Yunze's palace for long.

The imperial physicians who came and went all looked hurried, Ji Chen was terrified to see the two basins of blood that were brought out.

On the sick bed, Ye Yunze was still unconscious, his face was pale, his lips were bloodless, if not for his weak breathing in his chest, he would have doubted whether he was still alive.

Ji Chen stretched out his hands, pulled up a corner of the quilt tremblingly, and saw Ye Yunze's naked body under the quilt. At this moment, there was no desire in his eyes, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Ye Yunze's chest. Layer after layer of gauze.

"Your Majesty...what's the matter? What's the matter with this injury!"

"General, the assassin's arrow wounded the emperor. Fortunately, the emperor hid and avoided the heart. However, I can only temporarily hang the emperor's life. If the emperor does not wake up within 24 hours... ...it's dangerous..."

The imperial doctor shook his head while talking.He saw the traces on the emperor's body, and he had already stepped into the gate of hell with one foot.Now, although the emperor's injury has been temporarily stabilized, but the emperor has not been truly out of danger, I'm afraid he won't be able to please him this time.

If the emperor is cured, no matter how legitimate the reason is, he must be buried with the emperor.

Thinking about it this way, the imperial physician felt a little relieved.The worst result is that he is given death, so do your best.

"24 hours? I see. Who sent the assassin?" The last question was asked by the commander of a guard who stood aside and was quite valued by Ye Yunze.

Ji Chen remembered that when Ye Yunze left the palace, he was responsible for protecting Ye Yunze's safety.

"It's from the feudal kingdom!" The chief guard's hands were wrapped in thick gauze, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured.To actually let the emperor be killed right under his nose, the chief guard's heart was full of shame.It never occurred to him that the feudal kingdom was just a fake surrender to let them relax their vigilance, but the real purpose was to assassinate the emperor!

"Is it a feudal kingdom?" Ji Chen lowered his head thoughtfully.After learning the news of Ye Yunze's assassination, his people immediately blocked the scene and investigated the matter.

Although on the surface, Ye Yunze was killed by a follower who came to Beijing with the king of the vassal state, but Ji Chen always felt that this incident was indescribably weird.

He just thought about it for a while, then put the matter behind him.Before tonight, his people will give him a result.He would never let anyone who hurt Ye Yunze go.

For him, the most important thing right now is to make Ye Yunze get better.

……

For the next two full days, Ji Chen stayed in Ye Yunze's palace, taking care of Ye Yunze non-stop.

He personally changed, fed and watered Ye Yunze's dressing, completely without the hands of others.

After finishing all this work, Ji Chen stared at Ye Yunze firmly, afraid that if he blinked, Ye Yunze, who was as fragile as a paper man on the bed, would disappear.

Everyone in Ye Yunze's palace knew how much Ye Yunze loved and indulged Ji Chen, and they didn't dare to say that it was against the rules for foreign ministers to stay overnight in the palace. They treated Ji Chen with the same respect as Ye Yunze. , on call.Therefore, there was almost no resistance for Ji Chen to stay in the palace.As for the Queen Mother, the moment she tacitly allowed Ji Chen to enter Ye Yunze's bedroom, she was already too lazy to care about these matters.

On the first night, Ye Yunze, who had been sane all this time, suddenly called out Leng.Ji Chen stretched out his hand to wipe it, and it turned out that Ye Yunze had a fever.

He hastily twisted a handkerchief and soaked it in cold water to cover Ye Yunze's head. The sick Ye Yunze kept twisting and rubbing off the quilt a lot, very dishonest.Ji Chen simply got into the bed, hugged Ye Yunze tightly, and kept kissing his cheeks: "Hey, it will be fine in a while, and it won't be uncomfortable soon. Be good, please, wake up early, Tell me you're okay..."

"In the past, you always said that your fate was hard, and God would not dare to accept you. I didn't believe it at the time, but now, I want to believe it. Tell me, you are not bragging, you are not lying to me, what you say is true of……"

"Wake up quickly, okay? We also said that when will we go to the outside of the Great Wall again. It's a pity that you have been getting busier and busier these years, and you can't even take half a step out of the capital. When you wake up, what kind of official business?" , We don’t care about memorials, okay? I’ll take you to see the scenery beyond the Great Wall..."

Ji Chen rambled on for a long time, but Ye Yunze didn't respond.In the end, Ji Chen said that he was tired, and tightened his arms around Ye Yunze, his eyes were wide open, and he was sleepless all night.

Four hours passed, eight hours passed, twelve hours passed, sixteen hours passed, twenty hours passed...

The imperial physician's face became more and more desperate, and Ji Chen's heart sank to the bottom.

Could it be that he was really about to lose Ye Yunze?They, really can't keep him?

When Ji Chen was about to lose all hope, a piece of news that made him feel extremely angry hit his ears——

"I heard that the empress dowager has already started calling the ministers to discuss the heir to the throne."

His lover is still lying on the hospital bed and fighting against death, how dare these people!Are they all looking forward to his lover dying earlier!

If it was in the past, Ji Chen would definitely not think so.In an empire without a crown prince, the emperor in charge of the highest authority is critically ill, and the people below are anxious to find an heir. From an emotional point of view, it is cruel, but from a rational point of view, it is nothing more than a normal thing.

It's a pity that now, Ji Chen can't tolerate anyone saying that Ye Yunze can't get better, so he is naturally very angry about Queen Mother Xu's actions.If he hadn't been guarding Ye Yunze every step of the way, he would have been unable to bear the offense and scolded the Queen Mother for disregarding the life and death of her parents and children.

Even if it is very important to ensure the inheritance of the imperial throne, is it possible that you can't wait for Ye Yunze to die and choose a successor?Can't wait even for a while?

Ji Chen looked down at Ye Yunze whose breathing was getting weaker and weaker in his arms, his heart was full of sadness.

If this person knew that when he was still struggling in the hospital bed, his mother had already given up on him first, would he be very sad?As for those ministers who longed for the power of the dragon, how many of them wished for Ye Yunze to die?

Ji Chen lowered his head, pecked and kissed Ye Yunze, and whispered in his ear: "If you really want to leave, take me with you..."

But at this moment, Xiao Xizi, the eunuch who had been serving Ye Yunze personally, slapped his head: "General Ji, the holy medicine that the emperor gave you last time...is the holy medicine for healing that the feudal kingdom paid tribute to, can you take it with you?"
