Chapter 1990: Chapter 1928: Let’s Roll in the Sheets

Emperor Yan suddenly vomited blood in large mouthfuls and then fell unconscious, his pulse chaotic, heartbeat weak, which scared the imperial physicians into trembling. It was Bai Xiaobai and Imperial Physician Gong who joined forces to apply acupuncture, and then administered a potent medicine before his chaotic pulse slowly calmed.

However, this left Emperor Yan’s health even more weakened. He could only lie in bed for recovery, unable to even stroll outside the courtyard.

Wufu privately believed that the internal organs and even the blood vessels of Emperor Yan had already been contaminated and eroded by those Gu insects. Recovery was impossible; his organs would only gradually deteriorate leading to eventual death.

Hence, this kind of situation for Emperor Yan would likely occur frequently, he could only fight against time with death.

The Emperor Star became increasingly dim, and now, Emperor Yan did not even try to hide it. Upon hearing the news from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, Emperor Yan surprisingly did not get angry or vent his frustration on the imperial physicians as those emperors near death who refuse to accept reality often do. He discreetly arranged affairs during moments of lucidity.

Wufu learned of Emperor Yan’s actions and felt unable to discern the thinking of this emperor. Could it be due to hearing Empress Dowager Mo recite scriptures frequently, thus achieving a peaceful mindset and understanding life and death?

After spending a few days at another palace with Empress Dowager Mo, Wufu was brought back by Ah Jiu. She didn’t know what orders Emperor Yan had given, but Ah Jiu became even busier, even Prince Dong was occasionally taken to learn political affairs.

As Ah Jiu was busy, Wufu was not idle either. With the Empress Dowager absent from the palace, she, as the Princess Consort and Matriarch of the household, could not be controlled by anyone.

Especially now that her husband was the regent governing the country, she was a noblewoman elevated by her husband’s status, an esteemed person waiting for others to curry favor, who dared to say anything behind her back?

With backing, support, money, and people, Wufu rolled up her sleeves and got to work, summoning her people, developing her actual power and wealth in Beiyan.

Thanks to Ah Jiu’s earlier proposal of two countries engaging in commerce, the trade routes in the Northwest and Northern Region became increasingly smooth. Wufu had long been involved, partnering with little companions from Nanyue such as Young Master Jun and Jin Yu, making the business flourish, with wealth continuously pouring in.

Busy days flew by, and it was soon mid-May. During this period, there had been several reports of Emperor Yan’s critical illness, yet each time he narrowly escaped death.

Upon receiving news, Hua Wushuang and her party were almost there. She had to personally go to the station to greet them. When she mentioned it to Ah Jiu, he seemed somewhat reluctant.

"Are you leaving for two days then?" Ah Jiu asked.

Wufu wrapped her arms around his neck, chuckling: "What’s wrong, can’t bear to let this princess go?"

"Hmm, can’t bear it." Ah Jiu lifted her up and walked into the room.

With Emperor Yan critically ill, he was busy to death with governing, so the days they spent together were few. Now, with her going to meet Hua Wushuang and her party outside the city, naturally there was reluctance.

"Just two days." Wufu kissed his temple, saying: "Getting clingy now?"

Ah Jiu laid her down on the bed and pressed on top of her, saying: "Being apart for a day feels like three autumns, let alone two days?"

He tangled and played with her hair with his fingers, his eyes shining intensely, saying: "I think before the princess goes, she should feed this king well first."

"Debauchery in broad daylight?" Wufu raised an eyebrow, her long legs hooked on his waist, voluntarily wrapped around his neck, flashing a seductive smile: "I like it."

Off to the bed for some fun!
