Chapter 1520 His Majesty has woken up!
In a blink of an eye, a whole day passed.
Under a big pillar outside Deqing Hall.
Shen Yi patted his son's shoulder and said, "Yuan'er, you don't need to stay in the palace anymore. Go home now and take care of the house."
"Sangsang will be getting married soon, and there are many things to prepare at home. You and your mother should take care of them. I will..."
Master Shen looked back at the Deqing Palace behind him and said slowly, "I'm afraid we can't leave the palace anymore."
Shen Yuan also looked up at the palace and said silently: "Dad, His Majesty is so young, how could he suddenly..."
Mr. Shen looked up at the sky and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "It's not sudden, not even in the past two years..."
"There are many things involved. As a father, I don't have evidence, so it's hard for me to tell you."
Shen Yuan frowned and whispered, "You mean, when we were in Jiankang..."
"Do not say."
Lord Shen said in a deep voice: "When I'm not at home, you are the backbone of the family. Take good care of the family and make sure nothing goes wrong."
"Especially Sangsang."
Shen Yi said in a serious voice: "Tell your mother, no matter what happens, don't let Sangsang go out again in the next few days."
"do not worry."
The young marquis patted his chest and said, "Although Sangsang is a little willful sometimes, she will listen to her son to some extent. You don't have to worry about the family affairs. Your son and mother will take good care of them."
He looked at Shen Yi and sighed: "Dad, you are in the palace, please take care of your health. If there is anything, ask Uncle Jiang to go home and tell us."
Shen Yi nodded lightly.
He looked around and made sure that no one was around, then whispered, "When you are at home, you should pay special attention to the movements of the imperial guards outside the city. Once the imperial guards take action, it means that the old prince's party will fight to the death. At that time, their first target will definitely not be the imperial city, but..."
"Our family."
Shen Yi said silently: "Although this situation is unlikely, it is definitely not impossible. Once the imperial guards make any unusual movements, the Imperial Reporting Department will send you a message as soon as possible. At that time..."
"You take your family and hide in the tunnel. It won't take long for your father to quell the rebellion."
Shen Yuan took a deep breath, looked up at Shen Yi, and whispered, "Dad, will you be in any danger in the palace?"
Shen Yi shook his head and said, "Don't worry about me, father."
"Father is safe."
"My child understands."
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Dad, please take care of yourself. Next year I will bring my grandson back for you two to see."
Mr. Shen touched his head and said, "Go."
Shen Yuan climbed up, turned around and strode away.
Shen Yi returned to Ganlu Palace with his hands behind his back.
At this moment, all the civil and military officials were gone, only some important officials in the court were left.
Among them were several military generals from the Five Military Commanderies, five prime ministers from the Secretariat, and the Nine Ministers.
These people stood outside the emperor's bedroom, waiting patiently for news.
At this time, Lord Shen walked in with his hands in his sleeves. Everyone stood up and looked at Shen Yi.
Mr. Shen also looked at everyone and said silently: "Everyone, it is not appropriate for everyone to stay here. The government affairs have also continued. What I mean is that among the prime ministers in the Secretariat, Prime Minister Song and one of the four prime ministers will take turns to stay here, and the other three will go back to the Secretariat to work."
This plan meant that Prime Minister Song Yuan would be stationed in Deqing Hall permanently, while the other four would take turns to work with Prime Minister Song Yuan day and night.
"As for the Nine Ministers..."
Master Shen looked at his brothers and said silently: "The Ministry of Rites will send an official to guard here, and everyone else will go back."
"You can also leave one person here at the Five Military Commandery."
At this point, Shen Yi paused and said, "What do you think?"
When asking this question, he was looking at Song Yuan.
Song Xianggong sighed, turned around and looked at the civil officials, and said, "Lord Shen is right. At this time, the court must not be in chaos. Let's discuss who will stay, and everyone else should do their job and not cause chaos in the court."
Zhang Jian stepped forward silently and said, "Prime Minister Song, I am considered the younger one among the secretaries. You stay here during the day, and I will come to replace Prime Minister Song at night."
"As for who's coming tomorrow night..."
Zhang Xianggong said, "The Secretariat will discuss this later."
Song Yuan nodded, agreeing to the proposal, then turned to look at Shen Yi and asked, "My Lord, are you staying in Deqing Palace as well?"
"It's natural."
Mr. Shen said, "If Prime Minister Song has no objection, I will stay here forever."
Song Yuan heaved a sigh of relief and said, "With Lord Shen here to make decisions, I feel much more at ease."
He turned around and looked at everyone, and said slowly: "Without further delay, let's discuss who will stay."
Seeing these officials discussing, Lord Shen looked silently towards the door of the bedroom, without saying a word.
In the previous few times, although the emperor's physical condition was very bad, Shen Yi didn't feel anything special, but this time...
It seems like it's really time to say goodbye to this old friend.
The emperor's words, "I have not let you down for more than twenty years of friendship," seemed to be still ringing in his ears, making Shen Yi feel complicated.
While he was in a daze, the palace door slowly opened, and the Queen walked out of the bedroom, wiping her tears. After coming out, she glanced at everyone and walked straight towards Shen Yi.
Seeing the Empress approaching, the people around Shen Yi quickly dispersed, and Master Shen stepped forward silently and saluted: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Empress."
The queen said, "Please excuse me," then she sighed and said, "Lord Shen, considering that I have known Madam Shen for twenty years, I would like to ask Lord Shen a few questions."
Shen Yi bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, just ask me, and I will tell you everything I know."
The Queen turned around and looked at the Deqing Palace behind her with a sad look on her face: "His Majesty has abolished Rong'er, what are you going to do with me now? Is it..."
"Hasn't it been possible to depose the queen yet?"
Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty has misunderstood. You and His Majesty have been married for more than 20 years. How could His Majesty treat you like this? The Third Prince's affairs have nothing to do with you. Tomorrow..."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will take you as his mother and become the legitimate son of the Hong De Dynasty."
The Queen could not help crying again and soon her face was covered in tears.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Shen Yi bowed his head again and said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing. Although His Majesty has mentioned the marriage between my son and Princess Ningguo, there is a huge disparity between their social statuses. If Your Majesty is unwilling, this matter..."
"Let's leave it at that."
Empress Sun raised her eyebrows and glanced at Shen Yi: "Who does Lord Shen think I am?"
"Will I go back on my word about what my husband promised?"
Shen Yi bowed his head deeply and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Empress Sun wiped her tears once again and choked up, "Marquis Shen, I am at a loss as to what to do now that you are suddenly like this. Marquis Shen, please take care of everything in and outside the palace..."
"It is my duty as a minister."
…………
After Empress Sun left, Shen Yi stood at the door of the bedroom and still did not go in.
Almost all the imperial physicians were in the bedroom. Even a few Western doctors were brought in as an exception to examine the Emperor for the first time.
Shen Yi needs to give them space so that they can try their best to rescue His Majesty the Emperor.
……
"Lord Shen..."
Late at night, a sad and somewhat resentful voice was heard, like crying and complaining.
"Can I go in and see His Majesty?"
After Shen Yi heard this voice, he slowly turned his head, then stood up and bowed, saying, "Empress Hui."
At this time, Concubine Hui no longer wore heavy makeup as before, but had a plain face, and her fair skin showed obvious haggardness.
More than 20 years have passed, and the pipa player of that time is now middle-aged.
Although she looks a little old, her charm is still there.
Shen Yi said in a deep voice: "The imperial doctors are all inside. After the imperial doctors come out, I will let Concubine Hui in."
Concubine Hui looked at Shen Yi and then lowered her eyebrows.
"Can't I go in and take a look?"
Mr. Shen shook his head, then changed the subject and said, "My Lady, His Majesty has instructed...if one day..."
"I will escort you out of the palace and take you to Fuzhou, to the residence of His Royal Highness Prince Fu."
"When the time comes, I will personally arrange personnel to escort Your Majesty south. Your Majesty and Prince Fu will be safe for the rest of their lives."
“I’m not going south.”
Concubine Hui looked at Shen Yi quietly, her voice hoarse but firm: "If His Majesty goes, I will accompany him."
Shen Yi frowned and was about to speak.
The door to the bedroom suddenly opened.
An old doctor ran out in a panic, looked left and right, and finally found Shen Yi: "Lord Shen, His Majesty is awake, His Majesty is awake!"
"Your Majesty, please come in!"
