Chapter 627: Making a Move (3)
Shangguan Pu lowered his eyes. "I want to do something for Father."
Eunuch Deng started to curry favor. "His Highness is worried about His Majesty’s health, so he comes to take care of him every day."
Empress Dowager Wei looked at Shangguan Pu lovingly. "You’re a filial child."
"This is what I should do," Shangguan Pu said humbly. Seeing that Empress Dowager Wei had no intention of leaving after sitting down by the dragon bed, he asked casually, "Grandmother, are you worried about Father?"
Empress Dowager Wei sighed and reached out to tuck the emperor in. "I’ve been dreaming about the late emperor these past two days."
Shangguan Pu frowned. Why was this beginning so familiar?
"He was standing in front of a Buddha statue, reprimanding me for not taking good care of the emperor." Empress Dowager Wei looked tired and continued, "I thought about it carefully later. Why was the late emperor standing in front of the Buddha statue? Could he be guiding me?"
Shangguan Pu asked, "Grandmother, what do you mean?"
Eunuch Deng and Eunuch Li’s hearts skipped a beat.
Empress Dowager Wei retracted her hand and looked at Shangguan Pu. "The emperor’s stroke is inexplicable. The imperial physicians haven’t treated him for so many days. Why don’t we get the Hidden Spirit Temple to hold a blessing ceremony and bring the emperor there to listen to the abbot recite the sutra?"
