Although everything seems harmonious on the surface, Rongyin's situation is becoming more and more serious.

Rong Yin's coma frequency gradually increased, and the emperor naturally could not ignore it. After trying various methods without success, he finally decided to contact the Imperial Observatory, hoping to find some clues from another angle.

Officials from the Imperial Observatory were urgently summoned to the palace. They carefully observed the celestial phenomena around the Changchun Palace, checked the feng shui layout of the palace, and read various ancient books and documents, trying to find out the possible cause of the Queen's coma.

However, after a lot of intense work and in-depth research, the Imperial Observatory was unable to find anything wrong.

The emperor met with the person in charge of the Imperial Observatory in the imperial study. He frowned and asked anxiously, "I asked you to come here because I hope you can give me an answer. Why has the queen been unconscious? Is there anything unusual in this palace?"

The person in charge of the Imperial Observatory knelt down in fear and answered tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I have tried my best to check and calculate. From the current situation, there is nothing abnormal in the celestial phenomena in the palace, and the feng shui layout is also correct. The Queen's illness does not seem to be caused by these external factors."

After hearing this, the emperor's face became even gloomier. He slammed the table and said angrily, "Then tell me, what happened? The queen's health has always been good, why did she suddenly become like this? You people, you usually live a life of luxury, but you are useless at the critical moment!"

Everyone in the Imperial Observatory was so frightened that they kowtowed and begged for mercy, not daring to say a word.

The news of the Yellow River bursting its banks had already made the emperor upset, and now that the queen had encountered such an incident, he began to doubt whether it was a natural disaster.

In the court, ministers discussed the response measures. Some proposed to allocate funds for disaster relief as soon as possible, some suggested sending capable officials to the disaster area for governance, and some believed that the construction of water conservancy projects along the Yellow River should be strengthened to prevent another breach of the dike.

But he didn't dare to mention a word about the Queen.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, listening to the discussion of his ministers, but he was always concerned about the queen's illness.

He began to wonder whether natural disasters such as the Yellow River bursting its banks had any connection with the queen's coma, so he once again turned his attention to the Imperial Observatory.

"What do you think about the Yellow River bursting its banks? Is this related to the Queen's illness?"

Everyone in the Imperial Observatory looked at each other. They knew the emperor's mood at the moment and did not dare to answer easily.

After a moment, the person in charge of the Imperial Observatory replied cautiously, "Your Majesty, the Yellow River bursting its banks was a natural disaster. Logically speaking, it has no direct connection with the Empress's illness. But...astronomical phenomena can sometimes have some subtle influences. Perhaps this is a warning from heaven."

After hearing this, the emperor fell into deep thought.

He knew that what the Imperial Observatory said was a bit far-fetched, but in this case, he also hoped to find a reasonable explanation.

"Then tell me, how should we deal with it?" asked the emperor.

The person in charge of the Imperial Observatory thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I think we can hold some blessing ceremonies in the palace, praying to God to bless the Queen to recover soon, and at the same time hope to calm the disaster of the Yellow River."

"In addition, regarding the handling of the Yellow River breach, we must follow the ministers' advice and take measures as soon as possible to provide disaster relief and strengthen water conservancy construction."

The emperor nodded. Although he did not completely believe what the Imperial Observatory said, at this time, he could only give it a try.

So he ordered a large-scale prayer ceremony to be held in the palace, and at the same time sent capable officials to the Yellow River disaster area to provide disaster relief.

However, the matter did not end there. In the harem, some concubines began to take the opportunity to cause trouble.

I don't know what's wrong with Yihuan. The emperor's attitude towards her has obviously softened a lot these days because of the deer blood wine incident, but after the queen reminded him, the emperor gradually came to her less and less often.

She couldn't describe her feelings when she saw Rongyin unconscious. During a chat with Ruyi, she casually mentioned the Yellow River bursting its dikes, implying that this might be due to the Queen's misconduct and a punishment from God.

Ruyi glanced at her and said, "Yihuan, there are some things that you can't talk about casually. It will be bad for you if it gets out."

That counts as a rebuke.

Yi Huan sighed, "Sister is right, but I am really curious. The Empress is the master of the six palaces, but she can't stand the Emperor coming to me and using those high-sounding reasons to do things to win favor. It seems that she doesn't consider the Emperor at all."

"Now the Queen has fainted several times again...I am now feeling a little sad."

Ruyi looked at the armor on her hand and sighed, "The queen has been in a coma recently. This is too strange."

A few days after the conversation between the two, some eunuchs and palace maids in the harem spread the rumor that the Yellow River bursting its banks might be related to the Queen's competition for favor.

Gao Xiyue was so angry that she arrested several people and severely punished them before she could suppress the rumors.

These words soon reached the emperor's ears, and he became furious.

He knew that this was the result of a struggle within the harem, and that Shupin wanted to take this opportunity to discredit the queen and elevate herself.

She was such an emotional woman, but now she has become like a vulgar person who only knows how to be jealous!

The emperor immediately summoned Yi Huan and severely reprimanded her, "Shupin, you are talking nonsense in the harem. What is your intention? The queen has always been dignified and virtuous, and has been managing the harem. Her illness has made me worried, but you are spreading rumors here. Do you know your crime?"

Yi Huan said with a sad face, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I just spoke hastily and meant no harm. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The emperor looked at her, his anger was hard to calm down. He knew that the fighting in the harem had never stopped, but at this time, he would never allow anyone to take the opportunity to hurt the queen.

Fu Cha is his community of interests and also his first wife. What's the difference between slandering Fu Cha at this time and slapping him in the face!

"I warn you, if you dare to spread rumors and slander the queen in the harem again, I will never let you off easily. You must reflect on yourself!" After the emperor said this, he waved his sleeves and left.

Yihuan collapsed on the ground, her heart filled with fear and regret. She knew that she had angered the emperor this time, and she was afraid that the emperor would become more and more disappointed in her in the future.

Changchun Palace.

Wei Yanwan had been staying by Rongyin's bedside, taking good care of her. As she looked at the unconscious Rongyin, her mind was almost a mess.
