Chapter 455 - 12.63
Huang Shu resumed the morning court three days after. He had stayed with his wife for three days, only leaving when he had to take a bath or when there was an urgent report he had to clear.
The imperial physician told him that Yunyu’s condition had stabilized after three days. However, he still hadn’t recovered his consciousness, but at least, Yunyu wasn’t in critical condition anymore.
Huang Shu rubbed his weary eyeballs and then kissed his wife’s forehead, "Wake up soon, my beloved. I’m going to the morning court now. I will see you in the evening, okay?"
Huang Shu left Yunyu alone. He returned after three days of missing in the morning court. He looked weary, tired, and dispirited, but he still carried out the judgment upon each problem carried by the ministers.
After the morning report has ended, few ministers stayed under the dragon throne.
Emperor Xianliang frowned and asked them, "Why are you still here? Is there anything you want to report?"
One minister slowly walked in front and cupped his hand to pay respect, "Your Majesty, it seems that you’re not in good condition nowadays. We’ve also heard about the banishment of Empress Dowager to the Cold Palace. May we know about the reason for this?"
Emperor Xianliang’s gaze cooled down. He saw the ministers, including Prime Ministers, and realized that most of them were his Mother Empress’ followers.
Emperor Xianliang chuckled and then replied with a sneer, "Because my mother, Empress Dowager Aixi, tried to do the unthinkable... and she succeeds."
