Happy Spring Every Year

Chapter 263: The Wheel of Destiny

Royal study room.

Emperor Sheng had just woken up from the chaos, his consciousness flickering like a candle flame, and he had not yet come to his senses.

Just then, a familiar voice reached my ears, filling me with joy.

Emperor Sheng looked away with great effort, and only after a moment did he see the Crown Princess's face, which was crying with joy.

His mind was scattered, and the first thought that came to his mind was: Why is Ji'er's daughter-in-law here?

At this time, Nanny Zhu, who was standing by, received a signal from the Crown Princess and hurriedly shouted the good news that the emperor had woken up.

Zhao Yuanye was accompanied by Eunuch Fushun, who was rushing towards the palace with the imperial doctors. Upon hearing the call, a hint of joy appeared on everyone's face, and they hurried in with quicker steps.

Zhao Yuanye rushed into the hall anxiously. His eyes first quickly swept over his mother. His gaze was as fast as a dragonfly skimming the water, and then moved away in an instant.

The Crown Princess was standing beside Emperor Sheng's bed, seemingly wiping away tears, with her back to the crowd, and her expression could not be seen.

Zhao Yuanye was a child after all, and didn't need to follow the rules like adults all the time. He immediately rushed to the bedside.

"Grandpa Emperor, you're awake!"

He spoke in a trembling voice, his nose flushed red, tears welled up in his eyes, and his face was filled with panic and fear.

Such genuine feelings made the eyes of eunuch Fushun, who followed behind, tear up immediately.

He knelt beside the couch, sobbing, tears welling up in his eyes, and muttered:

"Your Majesty, you are awake now. I am relieved. May your Majesty be blessed with great fortune, great fortune!"

The imperial doctors gathered together and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Emperor Sheng had indeed woken up.

But after they exchanged glances, they seemed to have hidden worries in their hearts and did not dare to be happy.

When Emperor Sheng saw Zhao Yuanye calling him repeatedly with tears on his little face, he immediately felt pity for him.

He subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to touch Zhao Yuanye's head, but his right hand at his side only trembled slightly, as if it weighed a thousand pounds.

At this moment, the scenes before he fainted surged into his mind like a tide.

Emperor Sheng immediately thought of Zhao Huailang, whose heart meridian was damaged, and the imperial teacher who committed suicide and whose life and death were unknown.

At this moment, I was anxious again!

Emperor Sheng was eager to ask what had happened to the two of them, but just as he was about to open his mouth, he was shocked to find that his tongue seemed to be entangled by something, numb and out of control.

He tried to use more force, but his throat seemed to be stuffed with a mess of yarn, and the "cock" he wanted to say only became a vague "uh uh" sound.

Emperor Sheng slowly opened his eyes. He tried to open his mouth wider, but his jaw moved with difficulty, as if it was locked.

At this time, let alone speaking complete sentences, he even found it difficult to utter simple syllables.

Emperor Sheng was slightly frightened, and raised his hand with all his strength, trying to touch Zhao Yuanye who was so close to him.

But no matter how hard he tried, his arms seemed to be nailed to the couch and he could not move at all.

After several attempts, Emperor Sheng finally felt an indescribable panic.

He opened his eyes wide, full of disbelief and panic, and tried his best to sit up.

Due to excessive force, the veins on his forehead bulged and throbbed, and his face turned red.

In the flickering candlelight, Emperor Sheng's originally majestic and peaceful face suddenly twisted and became hideous and terrifying.

Zhao Yuanye was shocked when he saw this horrifying scene, and his voice was obviously trembling with fear:

"Grandpa Huang, you...what's wrong with you?"

“Uh….uh uh uh!”

An unclear sound came from Emperor Sheng's throat, the tone was excited and chaotic.

Eunuch Fushun immediately realized something was wrong, and the joy on his face turned pale. He hurriedly shouted, "Your Majesty!"

The imperial doctors immediately stepped forward, but when they saw Emperor Sheng's appearance, the last bit of hope in their hearts disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Ever since they heard that the emperor had fainted twice in succession, they had been secretly worried.

When His Majesty was furious for the first time, he should have rested and recuperated to recover his strength, but unexpectedly, misfortunes never come alone and he fainted for the second time.

Now the emperor lies stiffly on his bed, unable to speak and unable to use his body. With such a severe emergency, I am afraid...

When the imperial doctors came forward, the Crown Princess gently pulled Zhao Yuanye behind her.

The mother and son slowly stepped back a few steps, quietly gazing at the people busily moving around in front of the imperial bed.

The "err" sounds that kept coming out of Emperor Sheng's throat echoed in the empty hall. Every sound was pleasing to the ears and struck the Crown Princess' heart again and again.

It became...

She knew it, it worked!

The Crown Princess pursed her lips slightly. She should have felt happy, but at this moment she couldn't feel happy at all. Instead, her face turned pale.

The same night, the same busy imperial physician, the flickering candlelight, the dull and suffocating atmosphere.

The tragic scene that she dared not recall again appeared so clearly before her this time.

Her Aji, surrounded by this group of imperial doctors, also had his life gradually extinguished like a candle in the wind.

The blood that was spat out mouthful after mouthful was like beautiful red plum blossoms blooming wildly on the bed, dripping onto the ground and soaking her embroidered shoes.

The glaring red was like thousands of sharp arrows piercing her heart.

Little Ye'er lay in her arms, crying loudly, which became the only sound in her ears that night.

At this moment, fate has changed, and the "executioner" from that year is lying on the couch in panic and despair.

She did it herself.

The Crown Princess suddenly felt her eyes sore and tears rolled down one by one.

At this moment, a warm and soft little hand quietly reached into her wide sleeve and tightly grasped her cold fingertips.

The Crown Princess lowered her eyes slightly, and what came into her sight was Zhao Yuanye's upturned face. Even though he was so young, there was already a hint of sadness between his brows.

As if seeing the tears on the Crown Princess's face, Zhao Yuanye clenched his little hands even tighter, as if he wanted to pass all the warmth and strength to his mother and become her support.

The Crown Princess felt a surge of warmth and pain in her heart, and she immediately leaned over and stood next to Zhao Yuanye.

In this deep palace full of dangers, day after day, the mother and son were always extremely cautious, as if they were standing on the edge of an abyss.

In such a turbulent power struggle, they, mother and son, are just a lone boat in it, so small, but fortunately tenacious enough.

As long as Jiang Xun, Shen Jiasui, Lin Lao and others become a protective canopy, help block some of the wind and rain, and point out a way forward, they and their son will move forward tenaciously, try their best, and live up to expectations.

"Crown Princess, your humble servant..."

At this time, Imperial Physician Liu turned around from among the other imperial physicians, his face full of embarrassment, and cast his gaze towards the Crown Princess.

Seeing this, the Crown Princess' heart suddenly tightened, and she gently let go of Zhao Yuanye's hand. Then she straightened her back and showed her graceful demeanor. In an instant, she became the extremely noble Crown Princess again.

At this moment, she is the only person in charge in the hall!

The Crown Princess gently wiped the tears from her cheeks with a handkerchief, her expression solemn but calm, "Imperial Physician Liu, if you have anything to say, please feel free to speak."

Imperial Physician Liu turned and walked quickly forward. He couldn't help but glance back at the chaos behind him. He couldn't help but sigh slightly and said respectfully:

"Princess, please move aside and allow me to report in detail."

The Crown Princess nodded slightly in agreement. Just as she was about to turn around, she suddenly seemed to think of something and turned back to say:

"Eunuch Fushun, come and listen together."
