Xian Taiwen had taken the bait. He slept in his courtyard last night and He Yuan was very happy. His happiness increased when he saw teams of imperial physicians rushing in and out of the emperor's courtyard.
He was beyond elated when he saw Wei Yun'er rushing in and out of Xian Taiwen's courtyard, looking barely presentable. She must be alarmed. This was good.
He Yuan tried to get in several times but didn't succeed, he wasn't alarmed though. This was a delicate period and they were trying to keep the news of the emperor's weakened state from spreading.
Who knew what would happen if those old geezers in court found out?
The day went by and neither the imperial physician nor Wei Yun'er were able to detect the problem. The emperor's pulse showed he was just fine but he laid on the bed like a vegetable and could barely lift his eyelids.
CLATTER!
