Everyone was shocked to hear the voice. Even Empress Dowager Xiaojing, who was sitting in the horse-drawn carriage, stopped rotating the Buddhist prayer beads in her hand.
Long Yang was riding a big, sorrel horse with Lu Liangwei alongside him, and appeared in front of everyone.
All the officials and womenfolk were astonished when they saw him.
Where did the Emperor appear from?
Even though they had many questions, they did not dare express anything as each of them knelt.
Zhao Qian, who was supposed to be still in battle against Long Chi, rushed toward Long Yang and knelt at his feet. “Master, the Crown Prince is planning a coup.”
Long Yang pulled on the horse’s reins, as if not understanding Zhao Qian’s words. He paused and took quite some time before he reacted. He frowned and asked, “What did you say?”
Zhao Qian answered with rage and sorrow. “The Crown Prince was planning a coup. Those assassins were arranged by him and were instructed to assassinate you.”
Pfft.
Long Yang spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. He pointed toward Long Chi’s direction. “Chi’er, I have always treated you like my own son, yet you dare plan a coup against me? I am utterly disappointed with you!”
As he finished his words, he leaned completely against Lu Liangwei’s shoulder and closed his eyes, as if he had fainted.
It took all of Lu Liangwei’s restraint to stop herself from rolling her eyes.
His Majesty’s acting was pretty lousy.
It was lucky that he was the Emperor. When an Emperor lost his temper, his officials kneeling in front of him would never dare to lift their heads. They were instead riddled with fear and dared not even breathe.
Lu Liangwei was almost out of breath from being pressed down by His Majesty. She wondered if he was aware of how heavy he was.
She stopped herself from pushing him off the horse and shouted toward Zhao Qian in a shocked voice, “Someone, please get someone. His Majesty’s anger has affected his heart and he has fainted.”
Zhao Qian immediately got her hint as he stood up quickly. He and Shi Yi helped Long Yang off the horse together and later placed him onto a horse-drawn carriage at the side.
Lu Liangwei got off the horse immediately, looking frightened. “Your Majesty, please be safe, sob sob…”
Shi Yi, “…”
The Empress did make it look pretty convincing.
He quickly approached her and helped her up the carriage.
“Someone send for an imperial physician now!”
Lu Liangwei shouted this after getting into the carriage while pushing away the man’s hands, which reached out to her.
The ‘unconscious’ man, was now leaning against the carriage and smiling at her.
“We need help now,” Lu Liangwei ignored him as she shouted with a sense of urgency.
The corner of Long Yang’s eyes twitched. He heard footsteps coming from outside the carriage and laid back down lazily.
“Your Highness, Chief Physician Lin is here,” Zhao Qian’s voice could be heard from outside the carriage.
“Quick. Quickly get him in here to treat His Majesty,” Lu Liangwei quickly said.
Long Yang sat up again when he heard it was Chief Physician Lin.
Everyone outside had lifted their heads to look at the horse-drawn carriage.
Unfortunately, the blinds were shut tight and they were unable to see what was going on inside.
It probably took enough time to boil a pot of tea before Chief Physician Lin exited the carriage. He told Zhao Qian, who was waiting at the side, “His Majesty’s heart was affected by his rage, which caused difficulties to his breathing and blood circulation. This was why he had spat out blood and fainted. I’ve already fed a Heart Cleansing Pill to His Majesty and he has now awakened, but he is still frail. It is best not to cause His Majesty any further agitation.”
Zhao Qian nodded and said sorrowfully, “I understand. I’ll prioritize His Majesty’s noble health.”
The conversation between the two was not spoken in a low voice. In addition to that, everyone was perking up their ears to listen in, and they had heard everything clearly.
Even Empress Dowager Xiaojing, who was sitting in the carriage, was able to hear everything.
A sneer appeared on her lips.
The Emperor’s words sounded nice and polished, but they were only enough to trick his officials.
The Emperor has always been a cold-blooded person who did not practice empathy. How was it possible that he would get so angered that his heart was affected, and he had thrown up blood and fainted all because of Long Chi? It was apparent that this was all an act.
She gave the matter some thought and got off the carriage with the help of Matron Chen.
