Colored beads say yes.
While Yan Funing was still on the way into the palace following Eunuch Song, eight ministers headed by Fu Ciyi and Cai Tingzhou had already arrived outside the palace.
The imperial guards guarded the door of the palace, preventing them from entering.
Cai Tingzhou stretched his neck to look inside.
However, the imperial guards were all carefully selected and quite tall. They were arranged in two rows, blocking Cai Tingzhou's sight.
The six ministers are also ministers of some age, about the same height as Cai Tingzhou.
They all turned their attention to Fu Ciyi: "Master Fu, how is the situation inside?"
Fu Ciyi was tall, even taller than the imperial guards present.
He easily saw many imperial doctors inside.
"The situation is unknown, but the imperial physician is here."
The ministers stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks.
The Minister of Rites said: "We are not allowed in. At least we can ask Eunuch Song to come out and tell us, how is the emperor?"
The imperial guard was silent.
The Minister of War said: "Since there is an imperial doctor inside, it means that the emperor is ill. In this case, it is even more important for me to wait in."
The leader of the imperial army then spoke: "Eunuch Song is not in the palace at the moment. I'm sorry, but we don't know about the emperor's condition."
Suddenly, the Minister of Industry saw Ding Lao's figure in the gap beside the Royal Forest Army, and raised his arms and waved.
"Mr. Ding, Doctor Ding."
Mr. Ding paused and followed the sound.
Turning his eyes to look at the emperor on the dragon bed, he remembered the mission of his own prince and went out.
When Mr. Ding came out, the imperial guards did not stop him, but they still did not allow others to enter the palace.
"Mr. Ding, how is your Majesty?" asked the Minister of Household Affairs.
"It is said that the emperor fainted in the middle of the night last night. When he was found, his body was already cold. It happened suddenly. All of you are the pillars of the country, so you should know about it. The Queen Mother is very old now, and we, the imperial doctors, do not dare to disturb this matter. She is old. The crown prince has been deposed again, and I and the imperial doctor have no backbone for a while. Please give me some advice."
"Why did you faint suddenly?" Fu Ciyi narrowed his eyes.
Mr. Ding lowered his head and said, "Master Fu, even the lower officials don't know. However, it is a fact that the emperor has been in poor health recently. I am afraid that an old disease has caused a stroke."
"Stroke?" several ministers exclaimed.
You should know that if the stroke is serious, you will become unconscious.
The new prince has not yet been established.
I'm afraid this court will be in chaos.
If the court is in chaos, the entire country will also have problems.
The Minister of Punishment said: "In this way, a prince must be selected to supervise the country. National affairs must be discussed and discussed. The emperor can take careful care of it."
"In your opinion, who is the right person to supervise the country?" Cai Tingzhou asked.
"This..." The Minister of Punishment choked.
When the ministers waiting in the previous court saw that the eight ministers had not returned, they sent Yan Xinghe to inquire.
When Yan Xinghe arrived, he saw Mr. Ding talking to several ministers.
"I believe that before we can choose which prince is suitable to supervise the country, today's court affairs will be decided by the cabinet in advance. If major matters can be handled, the cabinet will deal with them first. If the emperor needs to make a decision, we will wait."
When Yan Xinghe said these words, everyone looked at him.
"What Mr. Yan said makes sense." The Minister of Industry nodded.
Fu Ciyi pondered for a moment and then ordered the imperial guards: "The emperor fainted in the middle of the night. I hope you will investigate this matter. If you can't find anything, then I will send someone to investigate."
He turned to look at Yan Xinghe.
"In addition, what Mr. Yan said is true. At present, the emperor's dragon body is important, and the political affairs of the court are also important."
"We won't bother the emperor about small things."
He said, "Let's decide for now." He has not yet said which prince he wants to supervise the country.
Cai Tingzhou and several ministers couldn't wait.
Just as they were heading to the former dynasty, Eunuch Song arrived with Yan Funing.
Yan Funing: "Husband."
"Madam." Fu Ciyi said softly and moved his gaze to Eunuch Song, "Just now, Doctor Ding came out and said that the emperor had suffered a stroke. We will return to the previous court first."
Eunuch Song looked at Doctor Ding who was still standing at the door: "Mr. Ding, you..."
Mr. Ding smiled awkwardly and quickly entered the palace.
Eunuch Song raised his hand to invite Yan Funing, and the four masters and servants of Yan Funing entered the palace.
As soon as they entered the palace, Eunuch Song said: "Mr. Ding has worked hard, and several older doctors have also worked hard. They have been busy all night. You should go back first."
It would be better for these people not to be in the palace.
He has no ability, and he has no ability to wake up the emperor, but he has a big mouth, and he has not diagnosed the emperor's condition yet.
The word "stroke" was spoken.
After all, he was afraid that Mr. Ding would think too much, so he invited several other elderly doctors out together.
There were only a few young imperial doctors left in the palace, as well as Yan Funing and her entourage.
"Young Madam, please quickly diagnose and treat the Emperor." Eunuch Song raised his hand anxiously.
Yan Funing stretched out her hand to feel the pulse of the emperor's neck, then looked at his eyelids.
"Colorful jade, silver needle."
Caiyu said yes and disinfected the silver needle.
Yan Funing inserted needles into the emperor's body one by one.
Eunuch Song asked softly: "Did the Emperor have a stroke?"
"There are indeed signs of a stroke. It is probably due to stimulation. That's why the emperor met someone last night and was so angry?"
"This old slave doesn't know." Eunuch Song was anxious, "Young madam, when will the emperor wake up?"
Yan Funing said frankly: "I have to perform acupuncture every hour today. I can't say when I will wake up. Let's wait patiently."
——
The news of the emperor's stroke quickly reached the ears of several princes like a gust of wind.
They came to the palace one after another and asked for help.
Even the eldest prince Long Yaodong came.
He glanced at the dragon bed, then glanced again, and saw his father lying there upright, snickering in his heart.
At the same time, he was glad that his father was still lying down. No one knew about the fact that he entered the palace last night and angered his father.
Yan Funing turned her head and glanced at the stunned princes one by one, and said to Eunuch Song: "As long as there is an imperial doctor here, I can do it. There are too many people, which is not conducive for the emperor to rest."
Eunuch Song nodded and raised his hand to the door: "Your Highnesses, please go back. As soon as the Emperor has news, he will definitely inform you."
Long Yaodong cried: "Eunuch Song, just let me keep it. My father is like this, and I feel uncomfortable."
"Your Highness can't help you here, so please go back."
Long Yaodong said again: "I know that I have done many wrong things and made my father angry, so just let me stay outside."
Hearing him say to wait outside, Eunuch Song couldn't say anything else.
After hearing this, the other princes followed him and waited outside the palace.
The second prince and the third prince looked at each other, the boss was showing off now.
For a moment, several princes wanted to show off, and they all stood in the cold wind, shivering, waiting for news to come from inside.
Eunuch Song took one look and turned back to the palace.
Seeing that the emperor had not moved yet, he said to several young doctors: "My lords, please go back and rest for a while, and come back late at night."
An imperial doctor nodded: "That's fine, I'll just trouble Mrs. Fu here."
Yan Funing nodded and applied acupuncture on the emperor again. (End of chapter)
