Died In Infancy! My Wife Is Actually A Villain

Three days later, news came from the palace that Emperor Wu suffered a physical emergency and fell into a coma.

After examination by the imperial physician, Emperor Wu was found to have suffered physical damage due to overworking on state affairs, and had accumulated a lot of toxins in his body that were difficult to eliminate, and needed early treatment.

After learning the news, the court officials rushed to the palace and all stood waiting outside Emperor Wu's palace.

Although on the surface they came to express condolences to Emperor Wu, it was a form of loyalty from the ministers to the monarch. But in fact, their real intention was to see what Emperor Wu's current physical condition was like.

Emperor Wu was the leader of a country, and his current illness was a bad sign for the Zhou Dynasty. A careless move may cause turmoil in the originally peaceful country.

Therefore, the current situation of Emperor Wu is extremely important to them.

Once there are signs, they must prepare in advance to pave the way for the future.

At this moment, Gu Chen, who learned the news, also came to Emperor Wu's palace, and then looked at the group of officials who were standing respectfully. Duke Zhen Guo, Xiao Fang, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, General Zhao Tai, Prime Minister Nangong Jue... almost all civil and military officials of fifth rank or above came here.

When Gu Chen passed by, Prime Minister Nangong Jue subconsciously glanced at Gu Chen, not knowing what he was thinking.

Just when Gu Chen walked to the door of the palace, a young eunuch wearing a high hat reached out to stop him, then lowered his head and said cautiously: "Prince Zhuang, please stay. Your Majesty does not want to see anyone now."

Gu Chen frowned and asked, "Why?!"

The young eunuch lowered his head and said: "This is your Majesty's order. I only obey and do things. Please understand, Prince Zhuang."

Gu Chen looked at the young eunuch in front of him and did not continue to ask further questions. He then walked towards Zhen Guogong and the others, and followed him outside.

After a while, King Qi Gu Jiang, King Yun Gu Che, and the twelfth eldest Gu Yongyi rushed to Emperor Wu's palace, but like Gu Chen, they were rejected and could only wait outside.

Especially King Qi Gu Jiang was in a bad mood at the moment, even a little heavy. From time to time he would secretly glance at Gu Chen in the distance.

In the past, for the sake of his father, the ninth brother Gu Chen did not dare to do anything to him. But once the father is seriously ill, the other party will no longer be subject to any restraint, and no one in the entire court can threaten him.

In order to successfully ascend the throne in the future, the other party is likely to eradicate his royal brother.

Gu Yongyi walked up to Gu Chen and asked worriedly: "Brother Ninth, how is father's condition? Is it serious?"

Gu Chen shook his head and said: "I didn't go in either, so I don't know my father's current situation."

Time passed by, and everyone outside the palace had no intention of leaving. They all stood quietly outside the door.

I don’t know how long it took, but an old eunuch came out of the house and said in a soft voice: “According to His Majesty’s holy words, please invite some princes into the house!”

Gu Jiang stood up first and immediately walked towards the house. After hearing the news, Gu Chen and Gu Che quickly followed.

There were already many people in the palace. In addition to some imperial doctors, eunuchs, Queen Nangong, mother-in-law Xiao, and even the eldest princess, who had never shown her face very often, also appeared in the room.

There was also Princess Gu Zijin of Anyang. She held Emperor Wu's right hand with red eyes and her face was full of worry.

The four of them saluted Emperor Wu together, "Father."

Gu Chen, who was standing on the left, paid more attention to Emperor Wu.

Emperor Wu was sitting on the bed at the moment, his face was slightly pale, and he was not as energetic as before. Apart from that, no other abnormalities were found.

Emperor Wu did not answer, but looked at the old eunuch at the door and said to him: "Tell the officials outside for me that I am fine and let them all go back!"

"Slave, I obey." The old eunuch lowered his head and responded.

Then he left the room again and went outside to convey Emperor Wu's order.

After hearing the news that Emperor Wu was fine, the civil and military officials outside the house no longer had the original worry on their faces. They slowly stood up and left the palace one by one.

After hearing the news of the officials leaving outside the house, Emperor Wu felt much relieved.

In fact, Emperor Wu was extremely unhappy when these officials came over in such a hurry.

After all, only the people in the palace knew about his illness, and it was not leaked out. As a result, in less than an hour, all the civil and military officials in the court came here.

It has to be said that these so-called courtiers are better at gathering information than anyone else.

He must have begun to wonder how long he, the emperor, can remain seated.

At this time, Gu Jiang could no longer hold back and immediately asked: "Father, how is your health? Does it matter? What did the imperial doctor say?!"

The words were full of care and worry.

His thoughts were interrupted. Emperor Wu glanced at Gu Jiang and said calmly: "It's okay. I've worked too hard these years and my body is a little weak. That's why I accidentally had a problem. I'll just rest in the palace for a while." ”

Hearing this, Gu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "It's good that my father is fine, and I can relax now. However, my father should pay more attention to his health in the future and don't overwork and injure his body."

After Gu Chen heard the conversation between the two, he stood silently beside him.

My father has been obsessed with alchemy for many years. Although there seems to be no big problem on the surface, his body has long been dragged down by erysipelas, and these erysipelas are difficult to cure.

The reason why the imperial doctors did not tell the truth was that they knew how obsessed their father was with elixirs, so they did not dare to arbitrarily direct their suspicions to elixirs. Secondly, these imperial doctors were also afraid of the revenge of the alchemists in the palace.

But my father's sudden illness was obviously a danger signal to his body.

And the people in the room now, not only Queen Nangong, mother concubine Xiao, and even the eldest princess are here, which shows that the father's condition should be quite critical when he is sick.

However, Emperor Wu had taken elixirs for so many years and had no doubts about those so-called Taoist immortal masters. Even if Gu Chen advised him not to swallow the so-called elixirs, he probably wouldn't listen.

At this time, Emperor Wu looked at Gu Chen, Gu Yongyi and Gu Che behind him, and then ordered them: "Chen'er, Yongyi, Che'er, you all come here too! Come closer to me."

"yes."

Gu Chen and Gu Che looked at each other, then walked over together, standing in line with Gu Jiang.

Looking at his four heirs in front of him, Emperor Wu looked at them carefully and asked in a low voice: "I am very happy that you can come here today, which means that you regard me as your father."

"I just asked the eunuch to call you in. I also want to entrust you with something to do. I wonder which of the four of you is willing?!"

Gu Jiang immediately bowed down and promised: "No matter what the father says, I will do my best."

Now he really needs a chance to prove himself to Emperor Wu, so that he can have the opportunity to arm-wrestle with Lao Jiu in the future.

Now that Emperor Wu himself gave him the opportunity, he must seize it.

"I am willing to listen to my father's arrangements."

The three of them, Gu Chen, also bowed down and said in unison.
