He Chuan clutched the bloody hair crown tightly and walked heavily to the study room to find Emperor Shao.

At that time, Emperor Shao already looked haggard and his eyes were dark. Seeing He Chuan approaching, his eyes became brighter and he said hoarsely: "Have you found the prince?"

"No," He Chuan sadly held the hair crown in front of Emperor Shao's eyes and said, "I found it at the gate of the palace this morning. His Royal Highness is probably gone."

There was a buzz in Shao Huang's mind, he snatched the crown of his hair, rubbed the too dark blood on it, and suddenly his whole body started to tremble.

"My prince. My prince." He did not get angry like the previous days, but suddenly lost his mind and kept mumbling to himself.

He Chuan said worriedly: "Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body."

Of course, Shao Huang didn't listen to his dry words. He repeated the prince's name. The fatigue and anxiety of many days hit him together with his collapse, and Shao Huang suddenly fainted.

He Chuan was startled, rushed forward to support Shao Huang, and shouted: "Send to the imperial doctor quickly!"

The news that Emperor Shao had fainted spread in the harem, and the queen, who was also haggard, had to take the lead to see him.

At that time, Emperor Shao was already lying on the soft dragon bed, and Bu Zuoshengzheng was concentrating on diagnosing his pulse.

No one dared to disturb him. After a long while, Bu Zuosheng frowned and said, "Your Majesty did not get enough rest. He suffered too much of a blow and his body is exhausted. He needs to take good care of himself for a while."

These are just words on the surface. In fact, the successive blows have made Shao Huang's body worse than before. This is not something that can be explained clearly by saying that he is in a state of physical depletion.

As soon as these words came out, the concubine immediately started to act, kneeling on the ground and crying softly, as if she couldn't live without His Majesty.

I don’t know how long I cried, but it was only after the play was over that everyone started to talk. Finally, the queen finalized the rules, and the concubines took turns taking care of the emperor.

In fact, they had nothing to do with taking care of the emperor. It was all done by the servants in the palace, but the superficial work still had to be done.

The queen, facing the very likely pain of losing her son, sat beside the dragon bed and watched over Emperor Shao until midnight, when Emperor Shao slowly woke up.

The servants had already lit candles, and the bedroom was still bright. Emperor Shao couldn't help but blush when he saw the queen's haggard face.

He said: "Queen, I'm sorry for you."

The queen's heart skipped a beat. She was most afraid of Emperor Shao's apology now. If he apologized, wouldn't it mean that the prince would not be able to come back?

The queen could no longer maintain her dignity. She burst into tears and shouted sternly: "Ren'er, my Ren'er."

She cried so much that the maids outside could not help but have red eyes, not to mention Emperor Shao who suffered the pain of losing his son one after another.

Emperor Shao looked at his wife with emotion, held her hand and said, "It was me who failed to protect Ren'er."

Although the queen was extremely grieved, she still had to coax the Ninth Five Emperor in front of her first. How could she let Emperor Shao apologize in front of her?

So she sobbed and said: "I don't blame Your Majesty, this may be Ren'er's fate. Your Majesty should take good care of your health as soon as possible and don't let me worry."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Shao nodded slightly, then cast a deep look in his eyes and said, "Queen, do you think there is really destiny in this world?"

The queen was stunned for a moment when asked, and replied dryly: "I don't know, I am just doing my duty and doing my job well."

Emperor Shao looked blank, looking at the ceiling, as if looking at something else through the ceiling, and whispered softly as if recalling: "I still remember a few years ago, the Heavenly Master came to me and said that he had detected the arrival of a demon star.

I didn't believe it at all at that time, but now, my sons have left one by one."

He looked at the queen and said, "Am I too self-righteous?"

The Queen looked at the fragile side of Emperor Shao, who had killed her whole family in the past, and endured the disgust that welled up in her heart: "If Your Majesty is suspicious, just wait until you recover and send the Celestial Master to the palace to ask."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Shao nodded slightly and said, "The queen is right."

After finally getting through the night, the queen finally returned to Fengqi Palace. Once she arrived at the bedroom, she could no longer retain the last trace of her dignity. It was like her strength had been sucked out of her body, and she knelt on the ground and burst into tears.

The servants of Fengqi Palace did not dare to disturb her, they only hoped that the queen could get over the pain of losing her son as soon as possible.

Fortunately, there are enough concubines in the harem, and it will be almost as good as Shao Huang's turn once.

The first thing Emperor Shao did when he came out was to hold a funeral for the prince. He had lost a lot of weight, and the dragon robe was a little loose on his body. He looked at the white silk in the palace with a pale face, and leaned slumped on the dragon chair.

The death of the prince was a huge event, and the entire Kyoto was plunged into an atmosphere of mourning. Yun Yao was eating big fish and meat at home indifferently, and it was a completely different world than outside the house.

She picked up another piece of braised pork and sighed: "The funeral was held so quickly."

The mourning period lasted for half a month, and autumn came quietly before I knew it.

When the first maple leaf fell to the ground, little Aqing tried to pick up the big broom that Yunyao usually used and started working in the yard.

While he was sweeping, the black egg chased the broom and bit it, as if he thought little Aqing was playing with it.

In the palace, Emperor Shao was sitting in the study room that had been tidied up, and said to Li Fu: "Go and invite the Heavenly Master."

Li Fu's heart skipped a beat, and he thought over and over again that he heard it right, and then he bent over and exited the study room.

Not long after, Zhao Fengmian, dressed in a complicated white robe, appeared respectfully in front of Emperor Shao.

Shaohuang sighed and asked: "How is the investigation of Yao Xing's whereabouts going?"

Zhao Fengmian was stunned, then his eyes lit up and he said: "We haven't found out yet. This matter requires your Majesty's cooperation to get twice the result with half the effort."

Over the years, he has been trying to find the demon star, but Kyoto has a large population and Emperor Shao doesn't believe it, so there has been no progress.

Now that Emperor Shao actually took the initiative to summon him into the palace to ask about this matter, it means that His Majesty believed it.

Thinking of this, his eyes dimmed, because Shao Huang's change was probably due to the death of the two princes. If he could find Yao Xing earlier, maybe all this could be avoided.

Emperor Shao asked: "How can I cooperate with you?"

Zhao Fengmian pursed his lips slightly, and then said seriously: "I need your Majesty's dragon blood to divine clues about the demon star."

Shaohuang didn't hesitate at all and turned around to ask Li Fu to get the knife. Zhao Fengmian was startled and hurriedly stopped Shaohuang.

He said: "All I need is a drop of your Majesty's blood, but I need your Majesty to accompany you to the Tianshi Palace."

Emperor Shao was silent for a moment, then stood up slowly and said, "Show me in the Tianshi Palace."

Half an hour later, the Imperial Guards surrounded Emperor Shao in a mighty manner and arrived at the Tianshi Hall. Seeing this, the disciples came out to salute one after another.
