The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 152 East Palace

In the imperial palace, the Crown Prince's East Palace was now shrouded in chaos and unrest. The originally peaceful courtyard was now filled with noise, and the sound of hurried footsteps and anxious calls intertwined to form a flustered movement.

The news that the prince was in a coma spread throughout the Eastern Palace like wildfire.

The palace maids and eunuchs in the East Palace were in chaos.

Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps came from a distance, breaking the chaos in the East Palace.

After hearing the news, the emperor and the queen hurried to the East Palace. Their arrival made the already tense atmosphere even more depressing.

The arrival of the emperor, queen and their entourage brought the surrounding noise to an abrupt end.

Everyone knelt down and lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound for fear of disturbing the emperor and the empress.

The emperor and the empress were in a hurry, their faces full of worry and anxiety.

The emperor walked quickly into the prince's bedroom and saw the prince lying on the bed, pale and unconscious.

The imperial physician was checking his pulse and was about to pay his respects when he saw the emperor and empress coming.

The emperor waved his hand to stop the imperial physician from saluting, and angrily asked, "How is the prince? What happened? Why is the prince like this?"

Xiao Shu, the leading guard who followed Jun Yaotian out, knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "The prince and Miss Shangguan were talking in the alley, so I waited for them to get closer and waited outside. Suddenly, Miss Shangguan screamed, and when I ran over, the prince had fainted."

After hearing this, the emperor frowned and looked towards the bed.

The queen was also very anxious and frowned when she heard this.

Everyone in the Eastern Palace held their breath, waiting for the imperial physician's diagnosis.

At this time, the imperial physician finished taking the patient's pulse. His voice was particularly clear in the tense atmosphere. His hands were clenched and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, revealing his inner uneasiness.

He knew very well that every word he said at this moment would touch the hearts of the emperor and the queen.

"Your Majesty, the prince is fine." The imperial physician tried to make his voice sound steady and strong. He did not dare to look directly at the emperor and the queen, but lowered his eyes, as if this could relieve his stress.

The emperor's brows were furrowed, and his eyes were fixed on the imperial physician, as if he wanted to see through his heart.

The queen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She paced back and forth, her hands clenched so tightly that she was unaware of her nails digging into her palms.

"Then why hasn't the prince woken up yet?" The queen's voice was sharp and urgent, her eyes full of anxiety and expectation.

The imperial physician raised his eyes, looked at the queen, and quickly lowered his head, "Queen, the prince should be waking up soon."

"Should?" the queen repeated, her voice full of dissatisfaction and doubt. She could not accept such an ambiguous answer, she needed a definite answer.

The imperial physician raised his head again, his eyes flashing with determination, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just tired. He will be fine after some rest."

"Oh? Just that?" the emperor asked in confusion.

"That's right," said the imperial physician.

Jun Yaotian slowly opened his eyes, his expression twisted, revealing deep pain. He opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but could only utter a simple "ah", his voice hoarse and weak.

Jun Yaotian's expression instantly became horrified. He widened his eyes as if he had seen the end of the world. His body trembled uncontrollably, and he was at a loss.

Seeing this, the queen hurried forward and asked hurriedly, "What happened to the prince?" Her voice was full of anxiety and worry. She sat by the bed, gently holding the prince's hand, trying to calm him down.

Jun Yaotian tightly grasped the queen's sleeves, his knuckles turned pale from excessive force. His face was as pale as paper, and beads of sweat fell from his forehead, sliding down his cheeks and dripping onto the pillow, leaving a wet mark. His breathing was rapid and disordered, as if he was experiencing great pain.

The queen's heart ached as if it was being cut by a knife. She couldn't help but burst into tears when she saw the prince in such pain. She hugged the prince tightly and comforted him softly, "Prince, Prince, mother is here."

The queen felt heartbroken when she saw the prince in pain.

The queen's eyes shot towards the imperial physician like sharp arrows, her voice sharp and angry, "Is this what you said, the prince is fine?" Her words were full of disbelief and blame.

The imperial physician was frightened by her aura, his body trembled, and then he knelt on the ground with a plop. His forehead pressed against the cold ground, and he defended himself in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, spare me. I did diagnose that the Crown Prince was fine before, but I never thought..."

The emperor witnessed all this, his face was as gloomy as the sky, and his eyes revealed deep dissatisfaction. He waved his hand to interrupt the imperial physician and shouted in a deep voice: "Pass on my order, let all the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital come and see the prince, what's wrong with him?" His voice echoed in the palace, showing his majesty and determination.

"Yes," a eunuch responded and left. His figure disappeared at the palace gate, leaving only a long echo.

The emperor turned to another eunuch and ordered, "Call Shangguan Ziling into the palace." His voice was low and powerful, and every word hit the eunuch's heart like a hammer.

"Yes," the eunuch took the order and left. His steps were hurried and firm, as if conveying the emperor's urgency.

The queen's tears slid down her delicate face as she sobbed.

The emperor felt very annoyed when he saw her like this. It was rare to see the queen, who was usually dignified and well-behaved, so fragile. The emperor turned around and strode out of the palace and came to the courtyard outside.

There was a breeze in the courtyard, but the emperor did not feel the coolness at all. His heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness. Soon, the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital hurried to the East Palace. They were dressed in uniform and had serious expressions on their faces.

The imperial doctors all knelt before the emperor and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty..." However, before they could finish their words, they were interrupted impatiently by the emperor.

"Alright, alright, everyone get up and go see the prince." The emperor's tone revealed obvious displeasure and impatience.

"Yes, I obey your command." The imperial doctors stood up and walked quickly towards the prince's bedroom. Their steps were firm and powerful, showing their confidence in their medical skills and their loyalty to the emperor.

The emperor looked at the imperial doctors' backs as they left, but his annoyance did not ease.

The emperor took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and then walked towards the prince's bedroom.
