Hearing Empress Fu's call, Emperor Liu stopped venting, turned around and looked at Empress Fu, almost threw himself to the couch, held her hand tightly, and said with concern: "You're finally awake!"
"Your voice is so loud, even if I continue to lie down, I can't sleep well!" Fuhou teased in a weak tone.
Emperor Liu was not in the mood to joke at this time, and immediately replied: "If I can wake you up, so what if I break my throat by shouting?"
"This is not what you said." Empress Fu chuckled and said, "I was half asleep and half awake when I heard you scolding the imperial doctor and the palace officials?"
"No!" Emperor Liu denied flatly: "What did I scold them for?"
"I can't blame others for my illness. They have done their best to serve me. Don't anger them, otherwise it will damage your emperor's virtue." Fu Hou said intermittently, his breath unsteady.
However, Emperor Liu gritted his teeth and said: "I can't care about that much. What nonsense virtues are used by civil servants to restrain the monarch. I don't care. Whoever dares to stop me, I will deal with him!"
"What if I stop you?" Fuhou sighed softly.
Emperor Liu held her hand almost without thinking: "As long as you get better, everything will be easy!"
"Erlang. Cough cough cough." Fu Hou wanted to say something, but the words stuck in his throat and turned into a violent cough. Emperor Liu panicked when he saw her. He helped Fuhou up, stroked her chest and back, then hurriedly took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth.
Then, a flash of bright red appeared on the white silk, and there was still a little bit of blood on the lips. Emperor Liu's eyes suddenly turned red, and he immediately turned his head and looked at Old Doctor Sun fiercely: "What's going on? Why are you still coughing up blood? What needle did you use, what medicine did you administer, do you want to harm the Queen!"
"Your Majesty, minister, minister." Dr. Sun was so frightened that he was shaking all over and couldn't speak clearly.
Still the Queen of Fu, seeing Emperor Liu's extreme reaction, leaned against his chest, tried hard to pull on his sleeves, then passed over him and told everyone in the bedroom: "You all should step aside, there is no need to wait here!"
However, at this time, although everyone wanted to withdraw and stay away from the dangerous beast like Emperor Liu, Emperor Liu did not speak and no one dared to move. When Emperor Liu saw it, he glanced at everyone, then looked at the talisman in his arms, and finally waved his hand: "Get out of here!"
Everyone in the palace felt as if they had been granted amnesty and exited the dormitory, as if they had passed through the gate of hell. Emperor Liu's behavior was not like he was just talking. However, the crisis was not resolved, and everyone still seemed to have a knife hanging on their head. The queen is still there and can be persuaded. Once the landslide collapses, who can stop the emperor's murderous intention?
The palace was much quieter. Although it was already very quiet, only when the couple were alone could they completely tear off the disguise and reveal their truest side.
Empress Fu slowed down and was finally able to speak again, sighing: "What are you doing? What's the use of blaming the palace people and the imperial doctors? Imperial Physician Sun has been diligent in his duties since he entered the palace and has been serving you for more than ten years." Well, why are you angry with him?"
"I don't care, if he can't cure you, he is guilty!" Emperor Liu said, "Stop talking, have a good rest, and wait for the imperial doctor to consult and administer medicine to you."
"No!" Hearing this, Fu Hou struggled for a moment. Although his breath was weak, he was extremely determined: "I want to talk to you. I'm afraid if I don't say it, I won't have a chance!"
"I don't allow you to say that!" Emperor Liu was annoyed when he heard this. He subconsciously hugged Fu Hou tightly and pressed his chin tightly against her forehead.
Empress Fu ignored him, closed her eyes, and said softly: "In the past, I often advised you, some of which you listened to, some of which you didn't, and some of which even annoyed you. In fact, with your wisdom, Why do I, a woman, need to talk so much around here?
However, I would like to advise you one more time, to be more lenient and compassionate to your ministers and palace people, and not to be too harsh. If you go too far for yourself, it will only alienate the officials. I don't want you to really become a loner. That would be too hard.
The palace servants are all here to serve you, so we must take this as a warning for the Khitan Lord Yelujing."
Even at this time, Empress Fu was still thinking about Emperor Liu. When Emperor Liu heard this, his eyes became even redder, and a few drops of hot tears quietly slipped down and fell on Fuhou's face.
Empress Fu felt it, opened her eyes again, glanced at Emperor Liu, and said, "Why are you crying?"
"I'm not crying, how could I cry?" Emperor Liu's tone was already choked with sobs.
"Yes, you are the emperor, how do you act like a woman?"
However, the more Empress Fu said this, Emperor Liu couldn't stop his tears and kept sliding down his cheeks: "Da Fu, please stop talking. When you recover, I will listen to your advice again. You are mine." My dear wife, how could I not listen to your words, as long as you get better?"
Hearing this, a pale smile appeared on Empress Fu's face: "Okay! In this way, I feel relieved! I know that you are only caring and caring to scare them."
Emperor Liu nodded: "Yes! You must get better, but you must not-"
After all, Emperor Liu didn't, and he didn't dare to say that. Fuhou was more calm and said softly: "Life and death are fateful, and things in the world are unpredictable. Even if there is such a day, don't be too sad and take care of yourself."
After saying that, Empress Fu tried her best to reach out her hand, stroke Emperor Liu's hair, and said: "Look, you have more white hair."
Emperor Liu held Fu Hou's hand tightly, speechless and choked. It was probably because of this conversation that Empress Fu exhausted all her energy, and she started coughing again, which was frightening.
Emperor Liu immediately roared outside: "Here comes! Imperial physician, imperial physician!"
In a flurry, Imperial Physician Sun and a group of "gynecological" experts from the Imperial Hospital hurriedly entered the palace to consult the queen. Emperor Liu didn't wipe his tears or wash his face, he just stood there coldly supervising the work.
The doctors at the Imperial Hospital were of high quality and had many methods. After all their efforts, they managed to stabilize Empress Fu's condition. After Empress Fu fell asleep, Emperor Liu slowly walked out of the palace.
It was already dark, and in front of Kunming Hall, a group of people were already standing, whispering. There were concubines from the harem, a few princes, and ministers who came after hearing the news.
"Guan family, how is the queen?" Concubine Gao approached and asked worriedly.
Emperor Liu glanced at her and thought about her past quarrels with Empress Fu. He was tempted, but seeing that her eyes were sincere and not fake, he restrained himself. He said calmly: "It's nothing, it's just an old illness. It will take some time to heal!"
Of course, everyone present did not believe this explanation. According to the news, the queen's condition was serious and abnormal. However, no one dared to question Emperor Liu face to face.
Looking at their different expressions, a surge of anger filled his heart again, and he scolded in a cold voice: "What are you people doing here? Do you know how to cure diseases, save people, or do you want to cause trouble?"
"The officials calm down! Everyone is just concerned about the Queen's health!" Seeing Emperor Liu firing the map cannon, Concubine Zhe stepped forward and said in relief.
Among these people, only the Concubine Xian could gain a little trust from Emperor Liu, and it was difficult for his anger to be transferred to her. Sighing, Emperor Liu waved his hand: "It's all gone!"
"yes!"
The people were driven away here, and the prince Liu Yang, who had just returned to the palace and received the news, also hurried over, looking anxious no less than Emperor Liu. Approaching, she asked the same question as Concubine Gao: "Dad, mother, how is she?"
"After the imperial doctor's rescue, the condition has been temporarily stabilized!" Emperor Liu said: "She needs to rest now, so don't disturb her!"
Liu Yang looked inside Kunming Hall, his eyes filled with worry. Emperor Liu tried his best to calm his mind and patted Liu Yang on the shoulder: "You have worked hard today, so please rest. There is someone taking care of your mother, so don't worry!"
Emperor Liu's comfort obviously had little effect, and Liu Yang was even more worried.
He walked towards Chongzheng Hall with extremely heavy steps. In the corridors of the palace he passed, there were red lanterns hanging everywhere, and the lights were flowing. These were prepared for the Mid-Autumn Festival. However, at this time, it was a bit dazzling, the bright red festive lanterns. The color almost stung Emperor Liu's eyes.
When they arrived at the Chongzheng Hall, Emperor Liu tripped over the threshold and almost fell down. Yan Tuo, with quick eyesight and quick hands, hurriedly helped him: "Officials, be careful!"
This time, Emperor Liu did not pretend to insist like before, and let Yantuo support him, even leaning on him. That is to say, at night, the tears on his face were not so obvious. Even if he was supported, Emperor Liu's steps were a little wandering. It was not until he sat down that Emperor Liu said: "Yantuo, I, why am I feeling a little panicked?"
Yantuo hesitated for a moment, but still said comfortingly: "Guan family, my empress is blessed to the heavens, she will definitely get better!"
"Yes! Yes!" Emperor Liu nodded repeatedly, and then ordered: "Go to Kunming Hall immediately to take care of her. If anything happens, come and report at any time. When the Queen wakes up, come and tell me immediately!"
"this"
"I don't need you to serve me here!" Emperor Liu said angrily.
"Yes! The little one will go immediately. The officials must take care of themselves."
