"That's the emperor!" Xiaoru blurted out.
"Mo Chuan?" Shen Ning almost suspected that she heard wrongly.
"What happened? How could he be so close to... dying?" She bit her lip.
"A year ago, the emperor suddenly returned to the palace and brought back a young prince, which caused a sensation in the whole court. But not long after that, news came that the emperor was ill. I heard from Zhui Feng that the imperial doctors were very concerned about the emperor's illness. They were all helpless, saying that the emperor was suffering from a heart disease and that the medicine was ineffective. During this period, the emperor became more and more seriously ill and was already unconscious. Zhui Feng secretly told me this. Miss, go to the palace quickly. Come and see the Emperor. If you arrive late, I’m afraid you won’t be able to see the Emperor.”
There was a "boom".
Xiao Ru's words made Shen Ning's ears feel like a thunderbolt, shocking her instantly.
She came back full of joy and hope, but she didn't expect that she would be greeted with such bad news.
"No! I don't want him to die! As long as I am here, I will never let him die! I want to see him, I want to find him, immediately, immediately!"
A voice in her heart was screaming crazily.
"Hurry and prepare your horses! I want to enter the palace!" she said to the gatekeeper.
The janitor still stood motionless, his mind completely unable to comprehend what had happened.
"Stupid, this is the eldest lady! Don't you, a slave, even recognize your own master?" Xiao Ru was so angry that she stamped her feet and poked the janitor's forehead with her finger.
"Miss?" The gatekeeper finally reacted and hurriedly agreed, then went in and drove the carriage out of the mansion.
Shen Ning didn't waste any more time and jumped onto the carriage, followed by Xiao Ru.
"No matter where you go, I will never leave you again."
Shen Ning nodded and held Xiao Ru's hand. She felt the warmth coming from Xiao Ru's body, but it could not warm up her cold hands.
Her heart felt like it was being fried, and she wished she could rush into the palace in one step.
The carriage stopped in front of the palace. Shen Ning didn't wait for the carriage to stop, then opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.
Unexpectedly, he was stopped outside the palace gate.
She changed her appearance, and no one in the palace recognized her.
"This is my eldest lady, the Queen! Let us in quickly!"
No matter how much Xiaoru scolded them, the palace guards refused to let the two of them into the palace.
One of the guards was an old man in the palace. He recognized Xiao Ru, so he was quite polite to her.
"Miss Xiao Ru, you are not allowed to enter and leave the palace at will without a token. Even if you are... the Queen's Empress, you cannot. Miss Xiao Ru, have you... misidentified the person? How could she be the Queen?" The guard glanced at Shen Ning and said disapprovingly.
Xiao Ru's face turned red, and she clenched her fists to argue with the guard.
But Shen Ning couldn't wait any longer.
Mo Chuan was unconscious and in danger. She had to see him immediately!
She wants to save him!
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves sounded behind him.
"Get out of the way, everyone, get out of the way of this princess!" came a clear and loud voice.
As they approached the palace gate, the sound of horse hooves did not slow down at all.
As soon as the guards saw the passengers on the horse, they immediately opened the palace door and became extremely respectful.
"Greetings to the eldest princess."
"An? What the hell! If there is anything wrong with your royal brother, I will pick off your heads one by one!"
The passenger on the horse was dressed in a blue hunting suit, with long eyebrows and thick temples. He was full of heroic spirit and cursed at the guards.
As soon as Shen Ning saw her, her eyes lit up.
