Chapter 203 How is Father?
The third prince woke up with a headache.
He rubbed his aching head and felt a bit like he had a hangover.
A palace maid brought him a glass of water.
The third prince took it and drank it in one gulp.
At this time, consciousness gradually returned.
Then he remembered that he was originally guarding his father, and then Tang Peipei was invited by Eunuch Du.
He was worried that Tang Peipei would find out something.
Although he was very confident about this poison.
But there are rumors that Tang Peipei's medical skills are really amazing.
He didn't know how good Tang Peipei's medical skills were, but it was this unknown that made him worried.
Looking at the palace maid standing with her head down, she asked, "Is Madam Mu still in the palace?"
The maid said, "Yes, Madam Mu has not left since she entered the palace last night."
"How is our father?" the third prince asked as he put on his boots.
When he asked this, others thought he was just concerned about the emperor, but in fact he just wanted to use these answers to determine what he should do now and make plans for the future.
Palace maids came in one after another to change clothes for the third prince.
The maid replied: "The emperor has not woken up yet."
The third prince felt a little relieved. He had to go to his father's bedroom as soon as possible to guard it so that he could react at any time if anything happened.
He called the guards and gave them some instructions, then ate some breakfast brought by the palace maids and went straight to the emperor's bedroom.
The eunuch beside him hurriedly chased after him.
When I arrived at the emperor's bedroom, I saw that all the concubines, princes, and princesses from yesterday were there.
I couldn't help but secretly complain in my heart that these people really know how to find opportunities to curry favor.
Do you think that if you just stay here for one night, your father will look at you more?
wishful thinking.
The throne will definitely be his, and only his.
He knew that since he had asked people to increase the dosage of the medicine yesterday, the emperor would definitely not be able to survive. Even if a great immortal came, there would be no way to help.
No matter how good Tang Peipei's medical skills were, he just didn't believe that she could really snatch the emperor back from the gates of hell.
Dare to fight the King of Hell for people? Maybe you think your life is too long.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel that he shouldn't have stopped her yesterday.
I don’t know what kind of drug this woman gave him, but he fell to the ground without knowing it.
I still feel pain when I woke up this morning.
Fortunately, nothing important was delayed, otherwise he would have cut this woman into pieces.
Of course, thinking of the enchanting smile that bloomed on that beautiful face yesterday, it was so charming that it made people intoxicated.
He would definitely let her experience what it was like to be in ecstasy before his body was chopped into pieces.
The third prince suppressed the evil smile on his face and walked to the front of the crowd.
When everyone saw him coming, they all gave up their seats.
Everyone knows that although the emperor has not appointed a crown prince, judging from the current situation, the third prince is definitely the best choice.
Naturally, everyone was respectful to him.
The eldest prince has died of illness, the second prince is a coward, the fourth prince is a sickly person, and the only one who can compete with them, the fifth prince, was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison because of having an affair with Concubine Shu.
There were two little princes, but unfortunately, they were too young. The older one was only eight years old and the younger one was six years old.
The two ignorant children were naturally excluded because their biological mother was not a high-ranking concubine and they did not have a powerful maternal family.
It was precisely because of this that the Third Prince set up this trap against the Fifth Prince and excluded him.
Then, even if his father did not issue an edict to appoint him as the crown prince, as long as the emperor passed away, he would be the only choice.
He actually didn't want to take action against the emperor at the beginning, but so many ministers petitioned him to appoint a crown prince as soon as possible, but the emperor just wouldn't allow it.
He knew that among all the princes, he was the most suitable one now. The reason why his father was unwilling to appoint a crown prince was because he did not want to make him the crown prince. He knew that his father wanted to wait until the two younger ones grew up and see if they could meet his expectations.
But, the biological mother of the two children is weak to begin with, so what abilities can the children she raise have?
Since he doesn't want to make the decision, let him make it.
He cut off his way to live in order to pave a bright road for him.
Tang Peipei stood inside the house, looking through the window paper at the crowd standing outside.
These people didn't stand here all night.
They went back to rest for a night, and today when it was just getting light, they came again one after another.
Eunuch Du served breakfast to Tang Peipei, and Tang Peipei thanked him with a smile. She had taken care of the emperor all night and was indeed tired.
The emperor's condition has temporarily stabilized and he may wake up at any time, but he won't be able to hold on for much longer, three days at most.
As soon as Tang Peipei got the emperor's condition under control, he asked Eunuch Du to find a way to pass the message.
She knew that the Third Prince would wake up early this morning. Once he woke up, it would be much more difficult for the news to spread out of the palace.
Tang Peipei ate the last piece of cake and drank a mouthful of porridge.
The emperor coughed slightly from the dragon couch.
Tang Peipei and Eunuch Du hurried forward.
Eunuch Du looked at the emperor with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty, are you awake? How do you feel?"
The emperor's weak voice came, "Water."
Tang Peipei took the water on the table, poured a glass, and handed it to Eunuch Du.
Eunuch Du helped the man lean against him, then took the water handed to him by Tang Peipei and fed it to the emperor in small sips.
After drinking the water, the emperor slowly opened his eyes, turned around with difficulty, and looked at Eunuch Du who still had tears in his eyes.
Eunuch Du has been with the emperor since he was still a prince and has done a lot of things for the emperor. Although they are master and servant, they also have a deep affection for each other.
Seeing Eunuch Du like this, the emperor forced a smile.
"I am fine, am I not? I am already old, why am I so useless?"
Seeing that the emperor was still able to laugh and joke, Eunuch Du also forced a smile, "I am glad to see that the emperor has woken up. Yesterday, the emperor suddenly fell into a coma, which really scared me to death. I thought at that time that if the emperor died, I would definitely go down and serve him."
As Eunuch Du spoke, he asked Tang Peipei to hand him a pillow.
He placed the pillow behind the emperor, asked him to lean on it slowly, and asked, "Is this okay, Your Majesty?"
The emperor nodded and said jokingly, "You old thing, I'm afraid you're not happy that I woke up, but that you're happy that your life was saved, right? Haha~~ cough cough"
When Eunuch Du heard the emperor cough, he quickly patted the emperor's back and said, "Your Majesty, you just woke up, you have to be careful."
The emperor lay back on the pillow and gave Tang Peipei a bitter smile when he saw her.
"You saved my life again today."
Tang Peipei knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Seeing her like this, the emperor had some guesses in his mind. He waved his hand and said feebly, "Forget it. Life and death are determined by fate. I know you have done your best."
