Shangguan Pu lowered his eyes. “I want to do something for Father.”

Eunuch Deng started to curry favor. “His Highness is worried about His

Majesty’s health, so he comes to take care of him every day.”

Empress Dowager Wei looked at Shangguan Pu lovingly. ‘You’re a filial child.”

“This is what I should do,” Shangguan Pu said humbly. Seeing that Empress Dowager Wei had no intention of leaving after sitting down by the dragon bed, he asked casually, “Grandmother, are you worried about Father?”

Empress Dowager Wei sighed and reached out to tuck the emperor in. “I’ve been dreaming about the late emperor these past two days.”

Shangguan Pu frowned. Why was this beginning so familiar?

“He was standing in front of a Buddha statue, reprimanding me for not taking good care of the emperor.” Empress Dowager Wei looked tired and continued, “I thought about it carefully later. Why was the late emperor standing in front of the Buddha statue? Could he be guiding me?” Shangguan Pu asked, “Grandmother, what do you mean?”

Eunuch Deng and Eunuch Li’s hearts skipped a beat.

Empress Dowager Wei retracted her hand and looked at Shangguan Pu. “The emperor’s stroke is inexplicable. The imperial physicians haven’t treated him for so many days. Why don’t we get the Hidden Spirit Temple to hold a blessing ceremony and bring the emperor there to listen to the abbot recite the sutra?”

“Grandmother, those things…”

“You should also believe in Buddhism, right? After all, your mother has asked all the women in the harem to copy sutras.”

Shangguan Pu’s eyes darkened. “Has Grandmother already set a date?”

Empress Dowager Wei nodded. “I’ve already sent a letter to the abbot of the

Hidden Spirit Temple. He replied that it would be a good day in three days.” After a pause, she added, “I think the news has already spread.”

Since they were praying for the emperor and time was so tight, the Hidden Spirit Temple had to clear the temple first and inform the others that they would not be entertaining devotees for the next few days. In order not to offend anyone, they had to move the emperor out.

Shangguan Pu secretly clenched his fists under his sleeves. “Then let’s do as Grandmother says. I hope the blessing ceremony can really help Father recover.”

Empress Dowager Wei nodded and stood up. “It’s getting late. It’s not appropriate for you to stay in the palace at night. In order to prevent others from gossiping, you should leave the palace early.”

“Yes.”

Empress Dowager Wei looked at him and did not move.

Shangguan Pu was speechless.

“I’m going out with Grandmother.”

Empress Dowager Wei nodded and turned to walk out. Shangguan Pu followed half-step behind. When he brushed shoulders with Eunuch Deng and Eunuch Li, he glanced at the two of them calmly, hinting at them.

The two of them hurriedly knelt down. “Goodbye, Your Highness.”

The hall door opened and closed. The two of them heaved a sigh of relief and slumped to the ground.

“Eunuch Li, what should we do now?” Shangguan Pu clearly wanted them to continue what they had yet to do.

Eunuch Li let out a long breath. “How would I know?”

Eunuch Deng rolled his eyes at him. “I shouldn’t have saved you just now.” Eunuch Li opened his mouth to retort.

The person beside him suddenly fell to the side. He was shocked and subconsciously wanted to call for help, but before he could say anything, his eyelids closed and he lost consciousness.

At the same time, the secret guards hiding on the beam also fainted.

The next moment, the two men in black landed beside the bed.

About half an hour later, the secret guards woke up one after another and quickly flew down.

“What… what’s going on?” Eunuch Li slowly woke up and was shocked to see so many people suddenly appear in the hall.

Didn’t these people usually only stay on the beam?

The leader of the secret guards ignored him and turned to walk towards the dragon bed.

On the dragon bed, the emperor was still lying there.

The leader of the secret guards heaved a sigh of relief. With a wave of his hand, he brought his men back to their positions.

He did not notice Eunuch Li’s ghost-like eyes.

Eunuch Li rubbed his eyes and walked forward in disbelief. He took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the emperor’s face.

“There’s really nothing else?” he thought.

Empress Dowager Wei had arrived too suddenly just now. They could only hurriedly apply a layer of powder on the emperor’s face to cover the palm print. If one looked carefully, they could still tell.

But it was completely gone now.

Eunuch Deng, who woke up later, leaned over strangely. He was also shocked.

If not for the fact that the two imperial edicts were still in his arms, he would have thought that everything that had happened just now was a dream.

But the person lying on the dragon bed was His Majesty! Even the blood that Lord Jing wiped on his clothes was still there.

The two of them looked at each other and silently lowered the curtain.

Under the night sky, a black shadow silen tly swept past the palace under the cover of the rain.

Not long after, the black shadow flew out of the palace and flew all the way to Liu’er Street, landing in the Song family’s backyard.

Shen Yijia was dozing off in Song Jingchen’s arms. When she heard the commotion, she raised her head and her eyes lit up. “You Yi, you’re back?”

Song Jingchen glanced at You Yi, and his eyes darkened.

You Yi was speechless..
