Ambitious Regent x Sickly Little Emperor

Dad."Ning's father looked at his son's pale face and said, "Don't listen to them. There's some good food left in the kitchen, Dad will get it for you."He stopped walking."Ningning, some things are not...Since Ning Shu became pregnant for three months, she has become sleepy and her appetite has improved. She can eat almost anything as long as it's not too greasy.

Besides, I've been taking care of my health recently and I'm not as thin as I used to be.

It's just bad luck.

These few days have been rainy. Although Ning Shu paid great attention to her health, she couldn't avoid going to court and handling important affairs. Unluckily, she caught a high fever.

He lay drowsy on the couch.

Grasping the servant's clothes, he opened his eyes and felt dizzy: "...call Dr. Chen."

The boy lay on the bed, his face somewhat pale.

I obeyed the order and went to the Imperial Medical Bureau. But who would have known, Doctor Chen had a family matter and took leave for two days. He won't be back until tomorrow. I don't know what's going on inside.

His heart was filled with anxiety, so he summoned another imperial physician.

But who would have thought, halfway there, they ran into the Empress Dowager.

Li Taiyi bowed, followed by his attendants, to escort the Empress Dowager into the palace.

Ning Shu's head was swimming, lying listlessly in bed, feeling utterly unwell. He alternated between chills and fever.

Even my stomach started hurting.

He touched his already noticeable belly, and a touch of sadness welled up inside him.

He has developed some affection for the child now.

As soon as the thought of this child potentially getting into trouble crossed her mind, Ning Shu's heart ached with a sour bitterness, like being pricked by needles, a throbbing pain that spread throughout.

He opened his eyes, his vision a little blurry.

"Where is Doctor Chen..."

The slave said from the side, "Your Majesty, Doctor Chen will be here soon."

Ning Shu closed his eyes with some relief, but just as he did, he heard the empress's voice.

Ning Shu broke out in a cold sweat.

He suddenly opened his eyes.

"Your Majesty."

Kneeling before him was not Doctor Chen, but another face.

Ning Shu's lips were pale, the Empress Dowager sat beside him, reaching out to touch his hand: "Your Majesty..."

Dr. Li said from the side, "Your Majesty, please allow me to take Your Majesty's pulse..."

The Empress Dowager let out a sigh and moved to the side, her mood somewhat complicated.

If the emperor had half the charisma of his predecessor, this court would not be ruled by a regent...

But this body of mine is terribly delicate, falling ill every other day.

Ning Shu's lips turned pale, he looked at Dr. Li in front of him, his eyes shrunk slightly, and he pursed his lips: "Where is Dr. Chen..."

Li Taiyi bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, Chen Taiyi has asked for leave to go home."

Ning Shu's heart was in turmoil. He closed his eyes and resisted, saying, "I only want Dr. Chen to treat me."

Doctor Li was taken aback and said, "Your Majesty, my medical skills are no worse than Doctor Chen's."

Ningshu's forehead was sweating even more.

What was in his stomach seemed to be churning, getting worse by the minute.

He couldn't help but slightly grab the blanket and gasp a few times.

Some pain said: “I… I don’t want to, I want Doctor Chen to treat me.”

Li Taiyi looked embarrassedly at the Empress Dowager.

Yet, I saw that the Empress Dowager was also somewhat furious.

"Your Majesty, please do not be capricious."

She glanced at Doctor Li and said, “Doctor Li, what are you standing there for Don't you see that the Emperor is already delirious”

Doctor Li could only take a step forward.

But Ning Shu's face paled slightly, and her tone hardened: "Get out! Get lost!"

He contorted his face in pain, slightly bending down.

The Empress Dowager's expression grew increasingly furious.

These years the little emperor always listened to her, but recently, for some unknown reason, he keeps defying her over and over again.

"What are you standing there for Calm yourself down, Your Majesty, so that Imperial Physician Li can make a diagnosis."

A slave stepped forward.

Ning Shu sensed someone pressing down on him. He opened his eyes, his face becoming even paler, but he still resisted with a voice, "Don't touch me... Get away..."

He wanted to protect his stomach, but his body was too uncomfortable.

Li Taiyi had now stepped forward, extending his hand to take the Emperor's pulse.

For a while, his expression seemed to be one of astonishment and shock.

Li Taiyi once again didn't believe and felt his pulse again.

His face, too, paled along with the emperor on the bed.

The Empress Dowager saw that the imperial physician's expression was amiss, and she also frowned: “Imperial Physician Li, what is wrong with the Emperor”

Li Taiyi dared not speak, he glanced at the servants beside him and knelt down.

“Speaking softly and trembling, he said: ‘Your Majesty, please ask these people to step aside.’”

"...I'm just about to speak."

The Empress Dowager's heart skipped a beat. She knew the Emperor was in poor health, and these past years he had been constantly taking medicine.

If the emperor were to disappear...

She couldn't imagine what the future held for this land.

The Empress Dowager, her expression somewhat grim, dismissed the attendants. Only then did she speak, "What illness does the Emperor have"

Dr. Li swallowed hard, his heart filled with shock.

"It's a bit difficult to say..." he began hesitantly, "...the Emperor has a high fever, but..."

The Empress Dowager's brow furrowed even deeper: "Speak."

Lee the Imperial physician lowered his head even further: "...but Your Majesty is already four months pregnant."

The Empress Dowager was struck like a thunderbolt, as if she had received a sudden and shocking blow.

Some are getting shaky.

She looked at the emperor on the bed, gasping and with closed eyes, his face extremely ugly. She said fiercely, “Nonsense! Where did the emperor get pregnant!”

The Empress Dowager's face turned pale.

She stared at the emperor on the bed with wide, fearful eyes, too afraid to approach him.

Li Taiyi knelt for a long time, afraid to move.

The Empress Dowager trembled for a while, then walked over.

The weather was scorching, but the emperor's bedclothes were incredibly thick.

She reached out her hand and then threw back the bedclothes.ned and handsome face held no overt expression, much like always. In a tranquil tone, he inquired, "Actually, I wanted to ask last time, the piece Secretary Ning played, I've never heard it before. Di...
