Childbearing system: The royal family is shocked to see their offspring wither away!

Who can say what is destined? Even if they are as noble as the emperor, as noble as the mother, or as the queen of the world, they cannot change the current facts.

The emperor and the empress stayed awake that night.

Even though they knew that there were important things to do early tomorrow morning, they still couldn't sleep.

The Queen Mother didn't sleep much either. Early the next morning, she hurriedly took Li Niang to Yongzhou.

Jiang Ping'an said: "Yongzhou is where Ping'an used to be a beggar. Ping'an is very familiar with the terrain there."

"When we get there, maybe Ping An can find some miracle doctors to treat His Highness the Ninth Prince."

"Why don't you take Ping An with you, Queen Mother?"

"..."

The Queen Mother originally didn't want to bring Jiang Ping'an with her.

But after hearing what he said, she pondered for a while, and finally took Jiang Pingan away.

The emperor and the empress waited in Kyoto for nearly a month, but no news came from the empress dowager.

Both the Queen and the Emperor were a little confused.

Can something happen? ?

Of course, they also did not hear the news about Jiang Zhao's death in Yongzhou.

So they were not too worried.

......How come there is no news after such a long time? Could something have happened to the Queen Mother? !

The emperor and empress were extremely anxious.

The Grand Princess Pingnan was in even greater torment.

She didn't even dare to leave Kyoto, but lived separately from her husband, staying in Kyoto to accompany the emperor, empress and four children.

Although the four children were now sent to the Yingwu Marquis' Mansion, she still went there often.

Chen Zhining handed the child over to Princess Pingnan, which showed his trust in himself.

Since I have accepted this commission, I must take care of the children. I can't let their grandmother take care of them all the time.

A month later, they finally saw the Queen Mother and Jiang Ping'an returning with Chen Zhining.

But he didn't see Jiang Zhao.

When they came back, the three of them immediately went into the palace to pay homage to the emperor.

The emperor had just come out of court and was discussing state affairs with several ministers in the imperial study.

"..."

The emperor had thin cheeks and looked very old. The Minister of War under him was a recently replaced one, a man from the prince's party named Zhao Ling.

Seeing how thin the emperor was, he hesitated for a while before saying to the emperor, "Your Majesty, please take care of your health."

"If the dragon's body is not healthy, then wouldn't our Zhou and Song dynasties be in turmoil?!"

"Go, go, go!"

The emperor nodded and said a few perfunctory questions, then asked, "Sir Zhou, do you have any questions about the flood in Jiangnan?"

"...Lord Li, I think your proposal to cast more weapons is not appropriate!"

"Lord Ouyang..."

"..."

After calling the roll one by one, he suddenly saw Xiaodiaozi running over from outside and speaking to the emperor happily.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's carriage has arrived outside the palace gate."

"Also, Princess Rongbao is back too."

"As soon as I saw it, I hurried back to congratulate Your Majesty!"

“Are they all back??”

After hearing this, the emperor was stunned and then overjoyed!

"Is there any news about Lao Jiu?"

He immediately stood up and was about to go out.

However, recently, the moment he stood up from exhaustion, he fainted on the spot.

"His Majesty!!!"

Several ministers were horrified and rushed over to call the imperial physician.

The person who was called over was naturally the imperial physician Ning arranged by the prince.

Doctor Ning came in, gave the emperor acupuncture and treatment, then he said respectfully to the ministers.

"Your Excellencies, there is nothing wrong with your Majesty."

"It's just that... Your Majesty has been suffering from liver depression and qi stagnation recently, and he is in a bad mood. In addition, he has been tired all day, his mind is in a trance, and he is extremely happy and sad, so he fainted all of a sudden."

"Your Majesty has examined me and I will be fine soon."

"I see."

These ministers all looked at the emperor with pity.

How could they not know what was going on with the royal family? The outside world was in chaos.

The third and fourth princes have been thrown into the Heavenly Prison for nearly two months. No matter how the ministers behind the third and fourth princes pleaded for them, the emperor refused to release them.

Why is this happening? How can everyone not know it?! Isn't it because Jiang Zhao is going to die?!

......Pity the love of parents in the world. The emperor is also an old father. How can he be happy when his own child is dying?

But what could they say about all this? Wasn't it all the emperor's own doing?

After a while, the emperor woke up.

As soon as he woke up, he saw the imperial physician who looked very much like Jiang Zhao in front of him.

The emperor's eyes lit up with excitement.

At this time, his mind was also groggy, and he immediately thought that Jiang Zhao had returned with Princess Rongbao.

He quickly grabbed Doctor Ning's hand and cried, "Son... My son!"

"Old Nine! Father misses you so much!"

"Father misses you so much!!!"

"You're back, you're back!"

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back... um."

Doctor Ning knelt down in fear and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty! I am just an ordinary doctor, not His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince."

He hesitated to speak, obviously understanding that the emperor missed his son so much that he mistook him for a prince.

As the emperor cried, his voice suddenly stopped.

He stared at Doctor Ning blankly and found that he was just a young doctor.

This is the imperial physician who diagnosed me before. This is not Lao Jiu at all.

Then, Li Haitang's voice came from outside, "Your Majesty, Princess Rongbao, the Queen Mother, and Little Prince Ping'an have arrived outside the palace. They said they have something important to report to Your Majesty."

"......oh."

After the emperor regained his composure, he waved his hand at Doctor Ning in disappointment.

"You go down."

"...Thank you very much."

The ministers also found excuses and withdrew.

The emperor sighed, the feeling of disappointment in his heart was indescribable.

In short, he now really wanted to crush the third and fourth brothers to death.

How could the two of them harm their own Old Nine like this? !

Now he regrets it every day and every moment.

The emperor then saw Chen Zhining, the empress dowager and Jiang Pingan come in.

All three of them were exhausted.

When the Queen Mother came in, the Emperor stood up quickly and saluted her with a haggard face, "Your son greets you, the Queen Mother."
