“Yes!” Hearing Gu Qingxue’s words, the children nodded happily. They looked at each other and smiled. Everything was said without a word.

However, before the family could continue enjoying their family time, Qin Yun rushed in and bowed to Gu Qingxue and the others at the same time. Then, she said nervously, “Your Royal Highness, Miss, something has happened in the palace. His Majesty suddenly fell ill and fainted after vomiting blood. Eunuch Kang Fujiang is waiting outside the door now, saying that he wants you to enter the palace as soon as possible to check on His Majesty’s condition!”

Gu Qingxue immediately wiped the smile off her face and looked at Rong Zhan in confusion. “How could such a thing suddenly happen? Ah Zhan, settle the children first. I’ll follow Eunuch Kang into the palace first.”

Rong Zhan looked at Gu Qingxue and said seriously, “Be careful.”

Gu Qingxue nodded with a gratified expression. Then, she quickened her pace and left with Qin Yun.

Kang Fujiang was waiting in front of the carriage that had been prepared in advance. When he saw Gu Qingxue walking over quickly, it was as if he had grabbed onto a life-saving straw. He said excitedly, “Princess Consort, you’re finally here, Quick, quickly get on the carriage. If you have anything to say, wait until you get on the carriage and this servant will slowly tell you!’

It was rare for Gu Qingxue to see the usually calm Kang Fujiang reveal such a worried expression. She nodded in agreement and then got into the carriage with him.

The carriage sped towards the palace at top speed. Gu Qingxue looked at Kang

Fujiang in confusion and asked, “Eunuch Kang, what happened? Why did His Majesty suddenly fall ill?”

Kang Fujiangs face fell as he quickly explained, “Today, when His Majesty got up, he said that he had an unbearable headache. This servant also advised His Majesty that if his dragon body is unwell, then it would be better to rest. However, you also know that His Majesty is famous for being diligent in government affairs. He refused to rest no matter what and went to the morning court. After returning from the morning court, His Majesty did not have the appetite to eat breakfast. He only said that he was really tired and needed to sleep first. This servant naturally did not dare to disobey His Majesty, so I served His Majesty to rest in the side hall.”

The more Kang Fujiang spoke, the more frightened he became. He stammered, “If that’s all, it would be fine. However, this servant felt that His Majesty was not feeling well today, so I quietly paid attention to His Majesty. I did not expect that His Majesty would actually fall asleep and faint.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Other than these, did His Majesty have any other symptoms? For example, has His Majestyu been feeling unwell for the last two days?” Gu Qingxue asked Kang Fujiang.

Kang Fujiang shook his head and said with certainty, “That’s not true. His

Majesty’s dragon body has always been carefully taken care of by us servants. Normally, we wouldn’t dare to make any mistakes. Who knew that such an accident would suddenly happen today?

“When you came out, did you call the imperial physician?” Gu Qingxue asked.

Kang Fujiang replied, “Of course. The imperial physicians had already rushed over. However, the empress said that in order to ensure His Majesty’s safety, she asked me to invite you over.

Gu Qingxue raised her eyebrows in surprise. “Did the Empress ask you to invite me into the palace?”

Kang Fujiang nodded his head as if it was a matter of course. Seeing Gu Qingxue!s solemn expression, he asked in confusion, “Of course, it’s the empress. Princess Consort, is there anything wrong?”

Gu Qingxue shook her head and lowered her head to hide the emotions that flashed past her eyes. “No, it’s fine. Ask the coachman to speed up. Let’s not delay His Majesty’s diagnosis..”
