At this point, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Eunuch Li quickly arranged for the palace servants to start cleaning the court with alkaline.

After the Emperor saw that everything was over, he fell straight to the ground.

After a round of emergency treatment. King Rui looked at Headmaster Zhou and said, “Imperial Physician Zhou, how is my father? When will he wake up?”

“It’s hard to say. Although Mother God cleared the parasitic worms in the Emperor’s body, they still damaged his lungs. I’m afraid…

“If he doesn’t catch a cold or have a fever, he could still last for another two years.” Principal Zhou wanted to say something else but hesitated.

“What do you mean?” The Empress Dowager looked at him in disbelief.

“To put it bluntly, the worms have already damaged the Emperor’s lungs, and we removed them too late.”

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she fainted.

The Seventh Prince, who was standing beside her, quickly supported her and placed her on a soft couch at the side. He said to Principal Zhou, “Hurry up and take a look at the Empress Dowager.”

After saying that, he made way for him.

“Yes.” Principal Zhou immediately stepped forward and diagnosed before saying, “She’s just fainted from anxiety. She’ll be fine after a short rest.

“However, the Empress Dowager had signs of a stroke. She should not be stimulated anymore, or else…”

King Rui nodded. “I’ll leave her to you. Remember to prepare the medicine and brew it yourself.”

“Understood. I’ll take my leave then.” After Principal Zhou left, King Rui asked Xiao Heng to find two trustworthy palace maids to serve him.

He ordered something for him and the Seventh Prince to eat right after that.

Soon, the Emperor woke up. Seeing that he had returned to his bed, he understood how he had returned.

He looked at the palace maid who was guarding at the side and asked, “Who’s guarding outside?”

“It’s King Rui and the Seventh Prince. They’re eating now.” The palace maid replied.

“Cough, cough, put…” The Emperor had just opened his mouth when the two brothers ran in one after another.

“Father, how are you feeling?” The Seventh Prince asked.

“I’m alright. How’s the situation outside?” The Emperor looked at King Rui.

King Rui stepped forward and reported, “Everything is normal. Eunuch Li has brought people to clean up the oil in the court. Xiao Heng and Zhou Huaiming have brought the soldiers to seize the traitors’ houses.”

“Keep an eye on this. Don’t let off any of the loyal followers of Hui and Kang.” The Emperor waved his hand and added, “You can all go home. Come early tomorrow morning.”

“But your body…” King Rui wanted to say something but hesitated.

“I heard Imperial Physician Zhou’s words. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine for a while.” “Indeed, I’m here. Don’t worry.” At this moment, the Empress Dowager walked in with the help of Granny Liu.

“Alright, we’ll go home for now and come back tomorrow morning.” When King Rui saw the Empress Dowager was awake, he immediately turned around and walked out.

However, he still called Eunuch Li to look after the Emperor.

On the other end, seeing that King Rui had returned safely, Zhou Ying and her husband greeted him and went straight back to their residence.

After the Seventh Prince returned the soldiers to Yan Zhiwu, he chatted with him for a while before returning to the residence and falling asleep.

The Emperor and Empress Dowager drank their medicine, and the Emperor asked, “Mother, what do you think if I abdicate?”

“As a mother, I hope that you can do that. After abdication, you can take good care of your body.

“But it still depends on your intentions.”

The Emperor nodded and asked, “What do you think about passing the throne to Rui?”

The Empress Dowager was stunned for a moment and shook her head. “I don’t understand all this politics. Think about it and decide on whoever you think is suitable.”

Although she liked Kind Rui, she knew the Emperor’s personality all too well. If she really said it out loud, she wasn’t sure what he would think.

For the sake of the family’s peace and safety, she would definitely not participate in this..
