The imperial doctor pricked acupuncture and administered medicine. After struggling for a long time, the emperor's condition finally stabilized.

Ignoring the Queen's objections, he sat up and opened his mouth to ask, "How is it outside now?"

The Queen pursed her lips, and finally knelt down beside the bed: "Your Majesty, please punish me."

The emperor frowned: "What's wrong?"

The queen's eyes turned red, and she choked and said, "Your Majesty really scared me this time. I didn't wake up for three days."

The emperor was surprised: "Have I slept for three days?"

The queen nodded, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said softly: "I was worried about your majesty's health and had no intention of dealing with other matters, so I made my own decision and left Mo Xiao behind, asking him to help handle the government affairs for the time being... Please also ask your majesty to take care of me. sin!"

emperor:"……"

The emperor was silent and didn't speak for a long time.

He slept for three days, the prince was deposed, and the country was left without a master.

However, a country cannot live without a king for a day. With so many things waiting to be dealt with, how can there be no one who can stabilize the overall situation?

The emperor suppressed the slight disobedience in his heart and stretched out his hand to pull the queen up: "Why should I blame you? If you hadn't made your own decision, the outside would have been in chaos. At this time, let Lao Jiu come out to stabilize the situation. It couldn’t be a better fit.”

The queen looked straight at the emperor: "Your Majesty, you really don't blame me?"

The emperor shook his head: "No wonder."

The Queen seemed to be relieved.

The emperor asked again: "What's going on outside?"

The queen pursed her lips, shook her head slowly, and said softly: "It's not good."

"Prince...the news about Mo Chen has spread. Now the government and the public are shocked, the people are excited, and..."

The emperor said solemnly: "What else?"

The queen hesitated for a moment and then said softly: "Since yesterday, hundreds of students have been sitting silently in front of the palace gate, demanding severe punishment for the prince. These students do not eat or drink, and they will not do anything for a day without a reply from the palace. Go back. Mo Xiao is worried about this matter, and has run back and forth to the palace three times with his weak body. But these students seem to have been hardened by the weights, and no matter how hard they try to persuade them, they all have no effect."

The emperor closed his eyes and held the quilt tightly with his hands.

Things have come to their worst.

He said slowly: "These scholars are more stubborn than the others and will never give up until they achieve their goals. It is normal for Lao Jiu not to be able to persuade them."

The queen looked worried and asked softly: "What should we do?"

The emperor raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said softly: "Ask Lao Jiu to come see me."

The queen did not dare to delay and immediately sent someone to invite her.

In the past few days, Mo Xiao stayed in the palace without returning to the Ninth Prince's Mansion in order to facilitate the handling of government affairs. As soon as the emperor summoned him, he hurried over a quarter of an hour later.

He changed into a green shirt and seemed to be thinner than three days ago, and his face was paler than before.

As soon as he entered the door, he walked over and said with concern: "Father, you are finally awake."

Seeing him like this, the emperor felt warm in his heart and patted the back of Mo Xiao's hand: "Thank you for your hard work these days."

Mo Xiao lowered his head and his voice seemed a little unsteady: "I only hope that my father will wake up soon and do this for my father. I will not feel it is hard."

The emperor glanced at the queen: "You go out first, I have something to talk to Lao Jiu."

The queen glanced at Mo Xiao, and after seeing Mo Xiao nodded, she turned around and went out.

Suddenly, only the father and son were left in the house.
