When Chen Shao walked out of the check-in room, he saw four or five people standing in the corridor talking in low voices while looking towards the direction of the palace.

He stepped harder, and those people turned around in a hurry.

"What are you doing?" Chen Shao asked with a frown.

Several people hesitated for a moment, then one of them stood up.

"It seems something happened in the palace." He said.

Chen Shao immediately darkened his face.

Something happened in the palace? How could he know that something happened in the palace?

"A concubine fell down." The man continued quickly.

What a nonsense! This is a big deal!

Just when Chen Shao was about to speak, someone came running over there. Seeing them gathering, he waved excitedly.

"I know, I know, Concubine An fell." He shouted.

After he finished shouting, he saw a few people in the group winking at him and wiping their necks. Then he saw Chen Shao standing among them, and he immediately stopped and looked embarrassed.

However, Chen Shao did not reprimand him, but took a step forward with a slightly surprised look on his face.

"An Fei?" he asked.

The man breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly.

"Yes, it's Concubine An. She accidentally fell down the steps." He said.

"Then the imperial fetus...?" Chen Shao asked.

The atmosphere in the Queen Mother's palace was tense, with cries and shouts continuing.

The concubines gathered in the corridor lowered their heads and raised their heads from time to time to peek into the palace. No one spoke, and they only occasionally looked at each other and made eye contact. It can be seen that their expressions were very strange.

The palace door was closed, but the emperor, queen and queen mother were all inside.

The Queen Mother sat with a pale face and muttered something. Her expression was a bit depressed, and her hands in front of her were clenched tightly, showing her nervousness and worry.

On the other side, the emperor paced back and forth, listening to the shouts and cries inside.

"Can you do it?" he shouted, raising his feet to go inside. The palace ladies who had received the order quickly stopped him and knelt down to persuade him.

The emperor had no choice but to turn back angrily and continue pacing.

"Your Majesty, please invite Mrs. Cheng to come."

The Queen's voice sounded.

Lady Cheng?

The emperor turned to look at her. The queen was sitting there. Her already sick face became paler and her voice trembled.

"Your Majesty, I am my concubine..." The queen looked at the emperor, as if she could no longer suppress her emotions, and tears flowed out, "I, my concubine, can't bear it anymore. Please invite Mrs. Cheng to come. Can't she bring the dead back to life?"

"Queen, don't talk nonsense, you are talking nonsense!" The Queen Mother on the side opened her eyes and shouted.

The emperor looked at the queen with sadness in his heart.

Fear…

Very scared…

Those fragile children are like sand in the hands, it is so difficult to hold them.

"Zhao Cheng..." The emperor turned around and shouted.

Before she finished speaking, Concubine Neili's crying stopped.

The emperor, empress, and queen mother in the palace immediately stopped breathing and looked inside.

Doctor Li came out.

"Doctor Li, is it hopeless?" the emperor asked directly.

If there is no hope, you can go and ask Mrs. Cheng.

Doctor Li also heard this meaning from the emperor's words. He wanted to smile, but knew that he couldn't laugh at this time, not to mention that he couldn't laugh either.

"Your Majesty, it's hopeless, but there's no need to invite Mrs. Cheng," he said.

Behind him, the doctor from the Imperial Medical Bureau bowed her head and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, Concubine An gave birth to a prince, but...it was stillborn," she said.

Night enveloped the palace. Although the palace was brightly lit, it still looked gloomy due to the large number of palaces. The summer wind echoed in the palace, seeming to have a whistling sound, which made the gloominess even more intense, especially today.

The crying in the wind makes people feel more real.

The much-loved Concubine An lost her prince today, the prince who was highly anticipated and cared for by the emperor.

When Concubine An woke up, she was crying desperately, refusing to take medicine or food, and wanted to die. At this time, there were a lot of people in the palace guarding her.

The emperor did not stay in front of Concubine An. In fact, when he heard from the imperial doctor and the doctor's wife that the baby was stillborn, he did not come near Concubine An again.

The Qinzheng Palace seemed even more lonely in the outer palace at night. In the summer, the doors and windows were closed. The servants in the corridor outside the door were all anxious, but no one dared to open the palace door until a group of people came from a distance with lanterns.

"Queen, she is the Queen."

The waiters saw the person coming clearly, whispered in surprise, and hurriedly greeted him.

Without any notice, the queen opened the door and entered the palace.

There were only two lamps lit in the palace and it was dim. The emperor was sitting on the dragon chair. He didn't even raise his head when the door opened and someone came in. He put his hand on his forehead and closed his eyes as if he was asleep.

"Your Majesty, go back and rest," the queen said.

The emperor hummed.

"I will watch a little longer. If I watch a little more today, I will watch a little less tomorrow." He said calmly.

The voice and ideas are clear.

The queen walked to him, knelt down, stretched out her hand and took the emperor's hand.

"Your Majesty, these court affairs can't be avoided tomorrow if you watch more today." She said, "The more you watch, the more things will be delivered tomorrow."

The emperor smiled and opened his eyes.

"Then according to the queen's intention, the less I see, the less affairs there will be in court?" he said.

The queen smiled and held the emperor's hand tightly.

"I want to say that Your Majesty, don't be impatient and take your time," she said.

The emperor reached out and patted her hand.

"There's no hurry, time doesn't wait for us," he said.

The queen looked at him and shook her head.

"Your Majesty, the days are still long in the future." She said, "Look, I have been sick for so long, and now I am slowly getting better. Your Majesty, you have to stay with me, and I will also stay with you. We are slow.

If you walk slowly, you can still walk for a long, long time. Your Majesty, don't be anxious and don't be afraid. I am here and I will accompany you."

How long can he go?

He originally thought he could walk for a long time, but behold, his body, which was constantly suffering from major and minor ailments, actually got dragon's disease again.

He thought this was God's approval of his body, but it turned out not to be the case.

That dragon son is still gone...

No more…

Almost from the moment he became an adult, having a child became the single most important expectation, but he was disappointed again and again.

Looking back now, it seems that he only had these two emotions in his life, hope and disappointment, hope and disappointment intertwined repeatedly, and they never changed from beginning to end.

In the end, it’s all just disappointment, but why can’t you get used to it? Why do you still want to look forward to it?

"Your Majesty, let's go back and have a rest." The queen said, standing up and holding the emperor's hand tightly, "It's impossible for you not to have a rest. You are not yourself. Many people are counting on you. Concubine, Sixth Brother

Son, Queen Mother..."

Sixth Brother…

The emperor was so excited.

"Father, father, I know which river is..."

"Father, when I grow up, I will walk around the map myself, and I will walk around for my father..."

Sixth Brother…my Sixth Brother….

Yes, he can't be anxious or afraid. Without him, what will the sixth brother do? Others can take care of themselves, but his sixth brother can't...

His sixth brother can only rely on others for the rest of his life...

The emperor's eyes finally became a little dull, and he raised his head and stood up.

"Yes, rest. We will do things tomorrow." He smiled and said, "The Queen's wise words."
To be continued...
