363 Hard Work
The eunuch did not know how to answer. He nodded with difficulty.
He first sent a guard to tell the emperor about Yuan Hui asking Ning Yue to bring the guards into the palace. The emperor did not say anything. Today was indeed a special situation.
After Ning Yue entered the palace, she found out what had happened.
She had just arrived at the emperorâs imperial study when she heard the emperor scolding, âWhat are you doing? Youâre the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and youâre actually telling me that you donât know how to get military rations? And you, youâre the Minister of Revenue. You actually came to ask me if I can give more money to the Ministry of Revenue? The entire national treasury of the Great Yun Nation is managed by the Ministry of Revenue, and you still reached out to ask me for money? Also, youâre a general. You donât even know how to lead troops to war. Go to hell!â
!!
After the emperor finished cursing, there was a commotion. It was unknown what he was smashing.
Ning Yue was not in a hurry to enter. Instead, she stopped outside the study and said to the eunuch, âIs the emperor having a meeting?â
âPrincess, wait a moment. Iâll report your arrival to the emperor now.â With that, the eunuch walked towards the imperial study so quickly that Ning Yue couldnât stop him.
What she meant was that if the emperor was talking about state affairs, she would go to the Empress Dowager first.
Before she could finish speaking, the eunuch entered the study.
Not long after the eunuch entered, the ministers who had been scolded by the emperor walked out. When they saw Ning Yue, they bowed briefly and left in a hurry.
âPrincess, please.â The eunuch invited Ning Yue in with a smile.
Ning Yue entered the imperial study and saw that the emperorâs expression was very ugly. His lips were slightly black, as if he had been poisoned.
She hurriedly went forward to take the emperorâs pulse. The emperor was shocked by Ning Yueâs actions.
âWhatâs wrong?â the emperor asked Ning Yue.
âYour expression doesnât look good. Let me take a look at you.â Ning Yue didnât dare to tell the emperor directly. His expression looked like he had been poisoned.
The emperor did not say anything and let Ning Yue take his pulse.
There was really something wrong with the emperorâs pulse! Ning Yueâs heart trembled.
Realizing that Ning Yueâs expression was not right, the emperor hurriedly asked, âWhatâs wrong? Whatâs wrong?â
âEmperor, have you been in charge of the court these days? Didnât you ask the crown prince to help you previously?â Ning Yue retracted her hand and asked the emperor with a smile.
The emperor was confused. âYes, but I make all the important decisions.â
War was a very important thing!
âEmperor, my master said something very well. Children and grandchildren come with their own blessings. The Crown Prince is the heir you personally chose. I believe the Crown Prince will definitely not let you down.â
Ning Yueâs words dissatisfied the emperor. He had the final say in what his country did.
However, because Ning Yue was Gu Yuâs disciple and the princess of Russia, he did not flare up on the spot.
âWhat are you getting at?â the emperor asked.
âEmperor, you might be unhappy with what Iâm about to say, but please believe that Iâm doing this for your own good. Your body has already reached its limit. If you continue to work so hard, I think you donât have much time left,â Ning Yue said.
The emperor almost fainted from Ning Yueâs words. He was still fine. Why was there not much time left?
He had just scolded the ministers badly. Why was he about to die?
Ning Yue knew that the emperor did not believe her. She pretended to take out a mirror from her pocket, but in fact, she took out a mirror from her space.
âYou can look at your expression,â Ning Yue said.
The emperor was very surprised to see the mirror. The mirrors they used were not as clear as the one in Ning Yueâs hand.
He was about to ask Ning Yue how she got the mirror when the emperor saw himself in it.
He was shocked by his appearance. His lips were almost black, and his face was extremely pale. No wonder Ning Yue wanted to take his pulse as soon as she entered.
Didnât he look like a poisoned person?
âAm I poisoned?â the emperor asked Ning Yue.
Ning Yue shook her head. âYou werenât poisoned. You worked too hard and your body is at its limit. Is your chest a little stuffy?â
The emperor nodded. This also confirmed Ning Yueâs diagnosis.
In modern terms, the emperor was about to have a heart attack. His chest was tight, his lips were black, and his face was pale. They were all signs of a heart attack.
When she had just taken the emperorâs pulse, she had realized that his pulse was beating very weakly. If his pulse was beating weakly, it meant that the blood supply to his heart was not enough.
If the emperor continued to work hard, he would die suddenly.
