Chapter 494 Internal and External Arrangements
Li Wanan removed his fingers from Emperor Chongzhao's wrist, turned around to look at Empress Mo and Consort Wang who had just arrived, stood up and bowed:
"Your Majesty was just in a state of grief and anger, and he has been too exhausted recently. Now a string has broken and he has fallen ill.
"However, there is no need to worry about such an emergency. It is not serious. Take two doses of medicine and sleep for three days, and I will ensure that Your Majesty will be full of energy."
Wang Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief.
Empress Mo still looked at Emperor Chongzhao with tears in her eyes, sat beside his bed, and held the emperor's hand tightly.
"The Queen..."
As a noble concubine, it was not easy for her to make decisions without the permission of the queen. Wang Xifeng could only quietly remind her to put aside her sentimental feelings for the time being and consider the overall situation first.
Empress Mo, however, looked upset and waved her hand, saying, "Since the imperial physician has said so, let's make arrangements quickly.
"I will serve your majesty here."
Wang Xifeng was speechless. She looked at Chang Ying and Li Wan'an who were also speechless. After thinking for a while, she whispered tentatively:
"Your Majesty's health is of course the most important thing now. Since the Queen wants to personally guard Your Majesty, then I will go and arrange things outside?"
"Okay." Queen Mo nodded without hesitation.
Wang Xifeng sighed, shook her head, waved her hand and took Li Wanan and Chang Ying to the outer room.
"Chang Ying, go out and pass on the order to invite King Jing, King Yong, and Princess Yongning to come into the palace. If they request to bring along the Prime Minister and other cabinet ministers, then the princess will make the decision.
"Call Prince Duan and He Ke to serve their father, and Jing Quan and Guo Jian will personally lead the guards to guard the Purple Palace.
"Go and ask Madam Duan to come into the palace and command the eunuchs in the Purple Palace to serve His Majesty closely.
"Inform all concubines that His Majesty is ill. All concubines must stay in their own palaces and are not allowed to enter or leave. Anyone who disobeys this order will be executed first and reported later.
"Doctor Li, I'm leaving all the medicine for His Majesty in your hands. Please don't ask others to help you with the preparation and preparation of the medicine."
Everything was arranged properly.
Li Wanan and Chang Ying both breathed a sigh of relief, bowed respectfully in response, and then went about their business.
When Wang Xifeng returned to the bedroom, Empress Mo finally came to her senses after being reminded by Aunt Han. She wiped away her tears and asked her suspiciously:
"Did you go and summon your family members to the palace?"
Wang Xifeng was both angry and amused, and in her heart she despised him, but on her face she was gentle and respectful:
"In reply to the Queen, my father broke his leg and cannot move.
"Even if he could, he is in charge of the Ministry of Rites. Since the emperor is ill, it is not his turn to enter the palace.
"I just went out to invite the clan elders to come into the palace and take a look."
Queen Mo strongly disagreed: "Your Majesty is unconscious. If they come, they will bully us orphans and widows..."
"Empress!" Wang Xifeng was so angry that she shouted and interrupted her!
What orphans and widows! ?
This word can only be used after the emperor dies!
It was just an illness now. The imperial physician said that he would be full of energy in three days. How come it became like this in her mouth?!
Cursing the emperor, even if she was the queen, could she bear the responsibility? !
Queen Mo also regretted blurting out her words. She coughed dryly and whispered, "What I meant is that I am worried that those people from the royal family will take advantage of Your Majesty's coma to do something unspeakable..."
“I have invited my uncle, King Jing, my brother, King Yong, and Princess Yongning.
"These three are all trusted by the Emperor. With the Empress in charge, we can discuss matters and I think everything will go well."
Wang Xifeng paused, and then whispered, "I have already asked someone to call Prince Duan and He Ke over, and asked Jing Quan to stay inside and Guo Jian to stay outside, and to lead the guards to guard the Purple Palace.
"Don't worry, my lady, safety is not a problem."
When she heard that her son had been called over, Queen Mo relaxed her shoulders and nodded in praise:
"You arranged it well."
But he didn't want to see her swaying in front of him, so he found an excuse and said,
"You are the one who arranged the outside. If there is something, they will naturally come to find you. Why don't you sit outside and rest for a while.
"It would save you from having to sit or stand in front of me. Besides, His Majesty hasn't woken up yet, so there's no need for us to stare at each other."
Wang Xifeng knew that the Queen wanted to drive her out, but she didn't want to be constrained inside, so she respectfully agreed and went to the outer room.
Someone brought a short couch and placed it under the dragon chair. Wang Xifeng leaned on it and took a nap very comfortably.
Prince Duan was the one who arrived the fastest. He walked quickly into the hall with a tense face.
Wang Xifeng quickly stood up.
Prince Duan still remembered to pay her a hasty salute and asked, "How is Father?"
"He hasn't woken up yet." Wang Xifeng hurriedly pulled him back and whispered to him, "...The doctor said that the emperor only needs to sleep for three days.
“In the final analysis, there have been too many and too big things happening recently, and the emperor is a little sad, nervous, and exhausted.
"It will be fine after you take a break! Don't worry too much, Brother Tao.
"The Queen is inside, and has been crying for a long time. I should go in to visit the Emperor and comfort the Queen."
As Prince Duan listened to her telling the story slowly and gently, his originally impatient mood calmed down, and he nodded to Wang Xifeng more politely:
"okay, I get it.
“Just now I heard Jing Quan talk about the arrangements made by the Empress, which were very thoughtful.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The little guy looks very similar.
Wang Xifeng's heart was so soft that she wished she could hold the child in her arms and love him dearly.
But once he thought of his mother who was holding him back, all other emotions disappeared except pity:
"This is a matter within my status as a concubine. You don't have to be polite. Go in quickly. I think the Queen is waiting anxiously."
Prince Duan hurried in with Fuguier.
Jing Quan stayed outside and spoke briefly to Wang Xifeng in a low voice, then clasped his fists and said:
"My lady, can I borrow Jingli from you?"
"Just keep Chunnuan by my side, and Chunsheng is under your command!
"There is also Jing Lian from Chen Duo's place, as well as the Jing generation from each palace, you can use whichever one you want!
"I have only one thing to say: His Majesty's safety comes first. Zichen Palace, you must guard it like an iron barrel!"
Wang Xifeng shouted in a low voice, "At this critical moment, why are you still whispering? Go and do your job!"
Jing Quan bowed and agreed, then turned around and strode away!
At the same time, a man stumbled in from outside and passed him. The two men nodded to each other as a greeting.
Wang Xifeng looked closely and found that it was Xia Shouzhong!
When Xia Shouzhong saw her sitting outside, his eyes lit up and he rushed forward to greet her:
"Miss!"
"Hush, stop talking, and go in quickly! The Queen has lost her backbone, and Prince Duan is young, so I'm afraid she will panic!"
Wang Xifeng refused to say more to him in front of everyone, and just shook her head and winked at him.
Xia Shouzhong understood and couldn't help revealing a smug smile, but he quickly restrained himself and continued to stumble in.
