Chapter 903: Chapter 905: The First Wife Enters the Capital (2)

This news immediately caused a sensation inside the palace. Initially, when the Empress was placed under house arrest for two months and had suffered a head injury a few days ago, which nearly killed her, the Emperor had not visited her even once. Now that Lady Jin Xing was ill, the Emperor hurried to visit her. This clearly showed that in the Emperor’s heart, Consort Jin Xing was truly his most beloved!

All the palace consorts were abuzz with discussions, and some were even frightened by their recent actions of kicking Lady Jin Xing when she was down. Seeing the trend, it seemed that Lady Jin Xing’s restoration of favor was only a matter of time. Once she rose to power again, the first thing she would do was probably take revenge on them!

Emperor Jin Ming arrived at Silk Palace on a sedan chair and softened immediately upon seeing Lady Jin Xing.

This usually boisterous woman now resembled a lamp about to burn out, lying silently on the couch without a trace of blood in her pale face. In just three days, she had lost so much weight that she seemed like a completely different person, unrecognizable!

It is said that beauty fades with time, but Emperor Jin Ming had true feelings for Lady Jin Xing. No matter what Lady Jin Xing had become, in his heart, she would always be the best. Therefore, seeing Lady Jin Xing barely clinging to life, his first feeling was not that she had become ugly, but that he was deeply heartbroken.

"Yun’er—"

The Emperor softly called out Lady Jin Xing’s intimate name, trying to wake her.

However, Lady Jin Xing didn’t even flicker an eyelid and continued to sleep deeply. If it weren’t for her breathing and the slight rise and fall of her chest, Emperor Jin Ming would have thought she was dead!

"Yun’er, wake up, I have come to see you!"

Emperor Jin Ming called out tenderly with a voice soft as water, feeling a vague fear in his heart. He could hardly imagine what he would do if Yun’er were really dead.

But no matter how the Emperor called, Concubine Jin on the sickbed remained with her eyes tightly shut, unresponsive.

This truly frightened Emperor Jin Ming. He acutely felt the most important thing in his life slipping away. His heart ached so much that he broke out in a cold sweat, and he exclaimed anxiously, "Imperial Physician, come quickly and see why Jin Guifei is so ill?"

Court Judge Yao gave a start and hurriedly ran over, kneeling on the ground.

"Your Majesty, Jin Guifei’s illness is caused by excessive worrying, leading to her heart being severely strained. This is not something that medicine can cure. I believe the best way to help Jin Guifei recover is to eliminate her worries. Otherwise, not even an Immortal could save Her Highness!"

Court Judge Yao, gritting his teeth, reluctantly made this diagnosis because he knew that Jin Guifei’s biggest concern was not her demotion and house arrest, but the inability to secure The Prince’s position. He thought that even if the Emperor favored Jin Guifei again, he would never entrust the dynasty to a disabled son. Thus, if Jin Guifei died, it would be because of her unresolved worries, and it had nothing to do with him or Concubine Yao.

After hearing Court Judge Yao’s words, Emperor Jin Ming glanced at the person on the couch and said with a tone of reproach, "You, being decades old, still act as capriciously as when you were young. Every little dissatisfaction makes you want to quarrel with me. Well, consider this a win for you, but there won’t be a next time, ah!"

After saying this, he immediately issued an order to restore Jin Guifei’s rank, lifted her house arrest, and commanded the people who originally served her to return and serve her as before.

Although the Emperor had issued an order to restore her rank, he did not mention anything about The Prince.

Emperor Jin Ming was by no means incompetent. No matter how much he adored Jin Guifei, he could not agree to make a disabled person The Prince. Court Judge Yao saw this clearly, which is why he placed his bets on Jin Guifei’s ’excessive worrying and weakening of the heart rate leading to death.’
