Chapter 1930: The Emperor Suffers from Mental Illness
On this day, the Crown Prince came to the Princess Manor.
Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan went forward to receive them.
Lin Yuelan smiled and said,” What a rare guest! Your Highness, the Crown Prince, has come to the residence; it really brings glory to my humble princess residence!”
The Crown Prince smiled bitterly.” Princess, I’m here today to ask a favour!”
Lin Yuelan said,” Why do you say that, Crown Prince? If there’s anything, just say it. What’s there to ask for?”
The Crown Prince nodded and said,” Ever since Hong ‘er was…” He wanted to say that he would be beheaded.” After that, Imperial Father has been unable to eat or drink. He has also been suffering from insomnia. The imperial physician simply can’t find the reason.”
Lin Yuelan nodded and said,” Alright, I understand. I will enter the palace with Your Highness now and see the old emperor!”
Although Jiang Zhennan was prepared for this, he still couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness when he heard the Emperor’s situation with his own ears.
He didn’t say anything. He just went back to his room and took Lin Yuelan’s medicine box.
A moment later, the three of them went to the palace together.
As soon as they arrived at the Emperor’s bedroom, they immediately saw the Imperial Emperor lying on the dragon bed. Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan frowned. They did not expect that this was the Emperor who used to be as energetic as a strong youth.
At this moment, his temples were covered with a layer of white frost. He looked a little dispirited; his face was a little pale, and his expression was haggard.
Lin Yuelan asked,” Old Emperor, when did you become like this?”
The Crown Prince sighed softly and said,” Ever since Hong ‘er’s accident, Imperial Father’s health has been deteriorating day by day. The imperial physician couldn’t find any problems at all. I’ve long wanted to invite you into the palace for Imperial Father to take a look, but Imperial Father has always stopped me.”
At this point, his gaze landed on the Emperor on the dragon bed again. He sighed and said,” This time, I disobeyed my father’s orders and secretly called you here to take a look at my father!”
The Emperor, who was lying on the bed, seemed to have heard the movements of the people who had come. He asked Eunuch Zhang, who was waiting beside him,” Eunuch Zhang, is the girl here?” His voice sounded weak.
Eunuch Zhang bowed respectfully and replied,” Yes, Your Majesty. The Princess of Guguo and the Great General are here.”
The Emperor said,” Eunuch Zhang, help me up!”
“Yes!” Eunuch Zhang replied.
Then, he helped the Emperor up.
The Crown Prince quickened his pace when he saw this. After calling out to his father, he helped Eunuch Zhang to help the Emperor. Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan also quickened their pace and walked to the dragon bed.
Lin Yuelan furrowed her brows tightly. Seeing the Emperor’s appearance, she asked,” Old Emperor, how long has it been since we last met? How did you become like this?”
The Emperor smiled and said,” Girl, I’m getting old!”
He was already 70 years old.
In this era, seventy years old was already considered a long life.
However, only Lin Yuelan knew that the old Emperor had taken the medicine from the spiritual spring water. Some of the hidden ailments in his body had been cured, and the impurities in his body had also been expelled. If nothing unexpected happened, and he knew how to take care of himself, it would not be a problem for him to live to a hundred years old.
However, in such a short period of time, his body had deteriorated so quickly.
No wonder many people said that mental illness was incurable!
After the Emperor smiled at Lin Yuelan, his expression became stern again. He said sternly,” Crown Prince, didn’t I order you not to disturb the girl? She and the Great General were on their wedding day, and it was the time for them to be intimate.”
The Crown Prince pleaded,” Imperial Father, please calm down. It’s your son’s fault!”
However, Lin Yuelan said,” Old Emperor, why didn’t you ask someone to call me? Could it be that you don’t trust my medical skills? This makes me too sad!”
“..”The Emperor smiled and said,” Alright then!”
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to take Lin Yuelan’s pulse.
Lin Yuelan placed her hand on the Emperor’s wrist. After a moment, she put it down.
The Crown Prince asked anxiously,” Princess, how is it? What illness did Imperial Father have? Why can’t the imperial physician diagnose it?”
Lin Yuelan shook her head. The Crown Prince’s expression changed as he asked loudly,” Is Imperial Father’s illness very serious?”
Lin Yuelan smiled and said,” Crown Prince, don’t be anxious. I’ll prescribe some medicine and immediately get someone to boil a decoction for the old emperor to feed first.”
“Alright, thank you, Princess!” The Crown Prince was slightly relieved.
