Chapter 623 The Oppressed Twin Brothers 19
"Princess, are we still going to the Imperial Temple to visit the eldest princess today?"
In the Princess's Mansion, the maid asked while helping Sheng Tang wash up.
Because two princes had been stripped of their titles and many ministers had been demoted in recent days, everyone was very cautious when going out. Going to the imperial temple to visit the eldest princess at this time might only cause more trouble.
"Go as usual and get ready." Sheng Tang said without thinking.
On the second day after entering the palace, she went to the Imperial Temple to see her mother. Her mother's condition was much worse than before she went to the State of Chen.
She was so confused that she couldn't even recognize who she was.
Sheng Tang wanted to go to the palace and ask the imperial physician to treat her mother, but accidents happened one after another in the palace, and her request to enter the palace to see the empress dowager was rejected.
The imperial physicians in the palace were not allowed to treat other people without orders, so she had no choice but to find other doctors in the capital to treat her mother.
But after taking several doses of medicine in succession, there was still no effect.
Is it really because my mother forced Doctor Wang to death that this is God’s punishment for my mother?
If this is true, would it make her feel better if she passed away?
Sheng Tang was thinking wildly, she couldn't do such a thing as killing her mother.
The only thing I can do is to visit her often.
Also, because the imperial temple was guarded by guards, she couldn't stay there for too long.
We rode in a carriage to the Imperial Temple. It seemed that there were unusually many people traveling in the capital today. We asked our maid to inquire and learned that Yunlang had won another victory. The emperor ordered the farmers to be exempted from taxes for one year, and the whole country celebrated.
Although not many people in Beijing make a living by farming, almost every wealthy family has land from which they collect rent, so they can also enjoy the benefits and naturally want to spread the word.
Previously, because he had successively stripped the titles of two princes, and because the emperor advocated war and supported going to war with the State of Chen, many people labeled the emperor a "tyrant". Now that they have received benefits, they have begun to praise him again.
Sheng Tang just listened quietly and walked towards the imperial temple in silence.
Although she was a princess, those things seemed very far away from her. The emperor's reputation, good or bad, had no effect on her.
And there is General Yun Lang who is now praised by the people. It is hard for her to imagine that the young man who helped her catch the thief at that time would look like he was fighting on the battlefield in armor.
In less than a year, life changed so much that Sheng Tang felt like he was living in a completely different world, with an invisible wall separating him from everything around him.
"The princess is in trouble. The eldest princess is in a coma."
As Sheng Tang arrived at the Imperial Temple, a maid ran towards her and said.
"What do you mean by unconscious? Go find a doctor quickly." Sheng Tang ran to the room where Ning Ruli lived in a panic.
When he pushed the door open, he saw Ning Ruli lying straight on the bed. This scene frightened Sheng Tang so much that his legs went weak. Fortunately, the maid supported him so that he did not fall.
He rushed to the bedside and saw that Ning Ruli was still breathing, so he quickly asked someone to find a doctor.
"Mother? Mother, wake up..."
Before, when Ning Ruli had a nightmare, she would wake up when Sheng Tang called her, but this time, no matter how Sheng Tang called her, Ning Ruli just couldn't wake up.
Soon the doctor came over and after checking her pulse, he said, "From the pulse, the princess doesn't have any symptoms. She seems to be just asleep."
"As for why he didn't wake up, I'm sorry that I'm not knowledgeable enough to diagnose the reason."
Sheng Tang's gaze shifted to Ning Ruli's face. Her expression was now very calm, without the fear brought by the nightmare before.
Fell asleep and had no more nightmares.
Sheng Tang closed his eyes. This was good, at least he could have a good sleep.
After leaving the imperial temple, Sheng Tang again requested to enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother.
I think it is because His Majesty has ordered universal celebration today that the Queen Mother has allowed her to enter the palace.
Sheng Tang wanted to ask the Queen Mother for permission to bring his mother back to the Princess's Mansion.
He is already in a coma and will not spread any more rumors that are detrimental to the royal family. He should not need to be locked up in the imperial temple anymore.
"Your Majesty has been favoring Concubine Yun these days and has even ignored my words. It was his decision to send your mother to the imperial temple. If you can ask for his permission, I have no objection." The Queen Mother sighed.
Sheng Tang left the Empress Dowager's palace and went to the imperial study.
But because the 'Emperor' was discussing matters with ministers in the imperial study, Sheng Tang thought of waiting in the corridor for a while. Suddenly, she saw a palace maid coming over and asking her to go into the side hall, saying that Concubine Yun wanted to see her.
In the side hall, Yun Xin saw Sheng Tang coming in and pointed to the seat in front without waiting for her to bow, "Princess, there is no need to be polite. Please take a seat."
"Thank you, Madam." Sheng Tang lowered his eyes, "I wonder what's the important matter that Madam asked me to come in?"
Yun Xin blinked, smiled and said, "I don't have anything to do, I just want to see you."
Sheng Tang was slightly stunned. Yun Xin said this but it seemed like she hadn’t said it.
What did she see her for?
"What's the matter with you coming to see His Majesty?" Yun Xin asked first.
"I...I would like to ask His Majesty for permission to bring my mother back to the Princess's Mansion to recuperate." Sheng Tang said truthfully.
Looking at Yun Xin's radiant appearance, I knew that she must be extremely favored, and there was no need for her to keep silent about such a thing.
Even if she doesn't say it now, she will have to tell it when she sees His Majesty later, and Yun Xin will still know it by then.
Princess Ning Ruli? !
There have been so many things happening these days that Yun Xin feels like she can't even remember this person.
I heard that she has been having nightmares since she forced Doctor Wang to commit suicide. When she came to the capital before, I heard that she was sent to the Imperial Temple for recuperation. Has she not been brought back yet?
"I see. The eldest princess is your majesty's biological sister. Your majesty is very worried about her because she is ill."
Sheng Tang didn't believe what Yun Xin said.
If he was really worried, why would he send his mother to the temple and then ignore her for several months?
But she couldn't express these dissatisfactions.
"Princess, you were ordered to marry the ninth prince of Chen State. Are you dissatisfied?"
Yun Xin’s words shocked Sheng Tang. What did she mean?
Did His Majesty ask her to come and find out about her?
"Sheng Tang dare not. It is naturally great that His Majesty grants the marriage." Sheng Tang said quickly, lowering his head.
Yun Xin saw her trembling look and knew that she was overthinking, so she didn't continue the topic.
"Princess, don't be nervous. I'm just asking casually. Please have some tea."
Sheng Tang was drinking hot tea, but a cold sweat broke out on his back.
She grew up in the palace, and she ran around the palace playing.
But now the older she gets, the more her hands and feet are restricted. She dares not go anywhere, dares not look anywhere.
She didn't feel any hostility from Yun Xin. Could it be that she was really overthinking it, and Yun Xin was just asking casually?
"Princess, His Majesty invites you."
At this time, the palace maid came to the door and said, Sheng Tang stood up and bowed to Yun Xin, then followed the palace maid to the main hall.
