Zhao Rui's words left Liang Dong speechless.
He gritted his teeth and said, “But now the Emperor is unconscious…”
Liang Dong's meaning is very clear.
The emperor is now in a coma. What can he do
If the emperor had not fallen into a coma, things wouldn't have come to this.
Liang Dong thought Zhao Rui was crazy.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
He was about to refuse, but Zhao Rui took a step forward and said loudly, "I am the consort of the East Palace prince, who dares to stop me!"
As she spoke, Zhao Rui actually walked straight towards the palace gate.
The guards surrounding him were caught completely off guard by what they saw.
If this were someone else, taking them down would be a light punishment; they'd be killed on the spot, and it would be perfectly justified.
but she was a consort of the prince.
No one dares to touch this.
Thus, all the guards looked at Liang Dong.
Liang Dong's forehead was covered in sweat.
He looked at Zhao Rui's pretty face, which was now full of seriousness and determination. He gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, saying: "Let him go! Let him go!"
What would happen after Zhao Rui was let in, Liang Dong didn't know.
But Liang Dong knew that if he really did anything to Zhao Rui, the prince wouldn't let him off after.
Zhao Rui was overjoyed upon hearing this and, without a word, dashed straight into the Qianyuan Palace.
Passing through the main hall, one arrives at the emperor's sleeping quarters.
No one dared to stop Zhao Rui.
Upon arriving before the sickbed of Emperor Da, Zhao Rui knelt down with a thud and cried out, "Your Majesty, the royal family is tearing itself apart. The Eighth Prince has acted recklessly and rebelled, leading to Li's rule being as precarious as a stack of eggs. Please, Your Majesty, open your eyes!"
On his deathbed, Emperor Taixing lay pale and weak, barely clinging to life, surrounded by the strong scent of traditional Chinese medicine. He showed no sign of response.
Seeing Zhao Rui repeatedly uttering the same words, constantly bowing her head, a physician couldn't bear it any longer and stepped forward to say: "Your Highness, the Emperor is currently in a deep coma and is unable to sense the outside world. Your actions are futile."
Zhao Rui raised her head, her forehead flushed. She trembled and said: "Your Highness shoulders the weight of the world, bearing too much pressure as you forge ahead. I know my abilities are limited and cannot help Your Highness much. I can only offer a sincere heart, begging Heaven for mercy, praying that the Almighty will show grace, allowing the Holy Emperor to awaken. At this moment, the vast Li Dynasty is precarious, hanging by a thread like a reversed Milky Way. Only the Holy Emperor can turn the tide."
"I am foolish and inept, with no ability to save the world or devise a clever strategy. All I can do is use the most clumsy method to help my husband."
As the Imperial Physician, he was accustomed to the intrigue and power struggles within the palace. However, upon hearing Zhao Rui's words, he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart. He felt like something was lodged in his throat, and his eyes welled up with tears.
He gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, saying: "I have served the Emperor for several years, but medicine and stone have shown no improvement. I should have died to apologize long ago. Now, even if a hundred courtiers were to die, it would be useless. It's better to beg with the Crown Princess."
Saying this, he knelt behind Zhao Rui and touched the ground with his forehead.
The other palace maids, eunuchs, and imperial physicians looked at each other in astonishment, a strange feeling rising within them.
They imitated her, kneeling behind Zhao Rui while bowing their heads and reciting what she said.
"Your Majesty, the royal family is at war with itself. The Eighth Prince acts against all righteousness and has rebelled, taking up arms against you. Now, the Li dynasty faces imminent collapse. Please, Your Majesty, open your eyes to this!"
"Open your eyes, Your Majesty!!!"
