Long live Emperor Wu!

Chapter 76
Wu Rou stayed by the bed, looking at Princess Jinyang's weak face and looking at everyone quietly with her eyes open. She felt heartbroken and turned around and said:

"Where to go? Your Majesty, let me follow you."

The emperor was obviously panicked and said;
"Move to the Li Zheng Palace..." He changed his words again:
"No, there's no need to move, just stay here. I'm a lot older and have nothing to fear. She's by my side. I can feel more at ease when I see her from time to time."

The imperial doctor obviously had a headache and reminded in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, the elderly and frail people are also susceptible to infection. Ministers here come and go. If they are not isolated, I am afraid that the ministers in the DPRK will also be in danger."

The emperor was stunned, and looked at the imperial doctor's eyes flashing with confusion. After a while, he said:

"Then go to the Rinzheng Hall."

"The Li Zheng Palace is in the next courtyard. It's still too close to His Majesty."

The emperor roared angrily:
"Just go to the Li Zheng Palace! How to prevent and treat it is your business. My daughter can't be far away from me!"

The cold sweat on the doctor's head completely stopped, and he bowed and said, "Yes."

Then he said:
"If this is the case, then the Li Zheng Palace will have to be completely isolated. Until the princess is well, we will try to reduce personnel exchanges as much as possible. Your Majesty, please agree."

The emperor looked anxiously at the princess on the bed, waved his hand and said:

"I know, I'm not that confused!"

The emperor wanted to go forward and see Princess Jinyang, but the imperial doctor quickly called "Your Majesty" and stretched out his hand to stop him.

He glared at the doctor with dissatisfaction, but the doctor just lowered his head and pretended not to notice, and still stretched out his hand.

At this time, the prince rushed over from the East Palace. As soon as he entered the door of the compartment, he saluted the emperor and said:

"Father, I heard that Rhinoceros is ill."

After that, he went to the bed, but the emperor stopped him with his hand and said angrily:
"Just stand here and watch!"

Prince Li Shan looked at him in shock, with panic in his peaceful eyebrows, and said:

"Father, I'm fine...I'm already fifteen."

The emperor's eagle eyebrows were raised, his deep red and phoenix eyes became deeper and deeper, and he said angrily:

"Your eldest brother is over 20 and is still sick! If you have another problem, who can I count on?!"

After that, the emperor took another deep look at Princess Jinyang. Princess Jinyang also looked at him, and his eyes instantly turned red.

Princess Jinyang's voice had become mute. Seeing that her Aye and brother were so sad, she comforted them sensibly and said:

"It's okay...Father, brother, I'll be fine in a few days, just like before."

When Wu Rou heard this, she burst into tears.

"Rhinoceros..." Prince Li Shan had something to say.He was pulled out by the emperor.

The emperor turned around and said in a sad voice:
"Let's go, let's not stay here."

……

……

Princess Jinyang was isolated in the Lizheng Palace. Apart from the maids who served her, Wu Rou, and a medical officer, there was no one else around her.

Usually three meals a day were delivered from outside, so they were all trapped in the Li Zheng Hall, neither going out nor letting others in.

A few days ago, Wu Rou could talk to Princess Jinyang from time to time. On the fourth day, Princess Jinyang had a fever. She was in a daze. When she woke up, she cried and said that she felt uncomfortable and wanted to see her brother and her husband. Aye.

Wu Rou held her hand, feeling extremely distressed. Although she knew it was impossible to let the prince come over, she still asked the people guarding outside to report the situation to the emperor.

It was snowing outside, and large snowflakes were floating downwards. Wu Rou stood in front of the closed palace door, looking at the scene outside:
Two palace guards wore thick cloaks and stood guard in the corridor outside the palace door. The wind blew from standing for a long time, and a layer of white fell on their shoulders.

She didn't seem to know who to talk to about the depression in her heart, so she asked the two figures from behind:

"Has the situation outside gotten better these past two days?... Will His Majesty and the Crown Prince come?"

The two guards looked at each other, seemingly unaware that Wu Rou was still at the door. One of the guards turned around, bowed and said:

"It's not good. The palace was closed for morning court the day before yesterday. Foreign ministers are not allowed in unless it is urgent official business. His Majesty ordered His Highness to be trapped in the side hall and the pavilion and was not allowed to move around."

Wu Rou's heart tightened and she asked:
"The prince is also sick?"

The guard was stunned for a moment, and then said honestly:

"I haven't heard of it, probably not."

At this time, there seemed to be a commotion outside the courtyard gate. The bright yellow prince's clothes flashed in at the courtyard gate. Following him were several guards. They looked like people around the emperor. They stretched out their hands to stop him and said :

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has an order. You cannot go in. You can only say a few words in front of the door."

In order to see clearly, Wu Rou pushed the palace door and made a noise, only to see that he was wearing a green cloak embroidered with dragon patterns.

Under the hood of the cloak, his gentle and gentle brows were filled with melancholy. He was obviously a young man, but he was much more haggard. He had green stubble on his chin and the ends of his eyes were red.He didn't sleep well. He must have cried before coming here to ask for the emperor's permission, Wu Rou thought.

Prince Li Shan heard the movement and took another step forward. The guards did not dare to be disrespectful to him, so they knelt on the ground and said:
"Prince, you can't come forward any more, otherwise we will have to die to apologize."

The snow outside was heavy, and four or five people knelt around him. He lowered his head and looked at them, his brows furrowed slightly, his throat rolled with sobs, and he stopped moving.

Wu Rou looked at his figure and seemed to find some support in her uneasiness, and said quickly:
"Prince, it's good if you come. I'll invite the princess to the door and let her hear your voice."

After Wu Rou finished speaking, she ran away, turned inside, and found the sleeping Princess Jinyang:
"Princess, wake up. Your ninth brother is here. He is just outside the door. Let's go see him, okay? It's snowing outside. He may not stay long. Let's go see him and come back."

Princess Jinyang opened her eyes drowsily, and her voice was as low as a mosquito, breathing hard and said:

"It's...snowing outside? But...I can't get up."

Wu Rou burst into tears all of a sudden. Her beautiful eyebrows were filled with determination, and she gritted her teeth and said:
"I'm going behind your back."

After she finished speaking, she raised her head and glanced at the medical officer. The medical officer looked worried and worried. He hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

"Quickly, help me to dress the princess, and help me cover my back tightly." Wu Rou said, and the other female officials and maids quickly got busy.

Wu Rou carried Princess Jinyang to the door of the palace, put her head close to the crack of the door, and said:

"Prince, the princess is here."

A slight cold wind blew in from the crack of the door. The dazed Princess Jinyang opened her eyes and could only see the window pane on the door leaf. She asked in a low voice:

"Where is my brother? I can't see him."

Wu Rou became anxious and turned around to ask the medical officer: "Can you open the door? Just open it for a moment and take a look."

The medical officer said with a grimace:
"She has a fever, so she can't take it. It's so windy and snowy outside, it will make her condition worse!"

"Xi Zi... Brother is here. Are you feeling better? You must be well. Brother is waiting for you to come out. Let's go out to play together."

Li Shan couldn't see what was going on inside the door at all, so he could only make his voice as loud as possible in anxiety so that the people inside could hear it.

When Princess Jinyang heard this, she raised her head and took a closer look in front of her eyes. She still could only see the white window paper and the door frame of the palace door. She sobbed and cried:

"Brother...I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Xizi in the future...Brother, I feel so uncomfortable. I don't want to die."

Her voice was so low that it could not be heard outside, but it fell in Wu Rou's ears. She burst into tears and cried out.

"Medical officer! Tell me the truth, can the princess recover?" Wu Rou asked sharply.

The medical officer was so anxious that he was covered in sweat and almost in tears. He waved his hands and said:
"I do not know I do not know……"

Wu Rou's heart sank, she looked at Xizi's profile on her shoulder and whispered:
"Princess, I asked you to meet the prince today. You can't say such depressing words in the future. You must get better, otherwise Wu Cai Ren will die, you know?"

Princess Jinyang was drowsy, her long and thick eyelashes trembling, and she just shouted;
"elder brother……"

Wu Rou felt a pain in her heart, thinking that she would fulfill her wish no matter what, so she kicked towards the palace door.

The palace door was not locked, only held up by a chain. Wu Rou kicked it with all her strength, and the heavy chain outside instantly ripped open and fell to the ground.

The guards guarding outside were startled. When they turned around, they saw Wu Rou standing at the door with the princess on her back.

The warm breath in the palace surged in, and was instantly driven in by the biting wind and snow, causing Wu Rou's skirt to flutter, and the person on her back and the white hair on her cloak billowing like waves.

Prince Li Shan was also shocked by such a scene, his pupils shrank and he forgot to react.

Wu Rou faced the wind and snow, with tears on her face, but her expression was extremely determined. She looked at the prince standing at the foot of the steps and said:

"Princess! Did you see that?!"

Princess Jinyang raised her head from her shoulders with difficulty, and vaguely saw the brother she longed for through her blurred vision.

After A Niang passed away, her brother has been taking care of her, continuing A Niang's habit of taking care of her. In her heart, her brother is the person closest to her. The warmth in him is the same as that of her late A Niang. shadow.

"Brother..." Princess Jinyang stretched out her hand towards Li Shan with nostalgia, showing a weak smile.

Li Shan looked at his sister's haggard and pale face, his heart ached, and he could no longer maintain his sense. He pushed away the guard who was blocking him, and was about to rush over.

The guards stood up from the ground in panic, and the guard guarding the door quickly stood in the middle.

Everything seemed to be in slow motion in Wu Rou's eyes.

In these slowed-down scenes, it is the thin and tender hand extended by Princess Jinyang.

Wu Rou gritted her teeth, turned around first, and left with Princess Jinyang on her back, just as decisively as she kicked down the door.

The palace door was closed again. Prince Li Shan looked at their leaving figures and the closed palace door. Tears instantly burst out of his eyes and he shouted:
"Rhinoceros!"

He was so sad that he stood in the snow and cried, but no one came back. The guard next to the emperor said:
"Your Highness...go back."
