The New Year's Eve palace banquet was the same as in previous years, without any tricks, but Shen Qingxi felt that this New Year's Eve palace banquet seemed to be very different from previous years. The atmosphere of the prince and the third prince at the palace banquet became more and more obvious, and the court officials began to tend to stand. After drinking a glass of wine, Emperor Longzong suddenly coughed loudly and loudly. The movement was quite loud, which scared the civil and military officials in the court to change their colors.

Although the emperor was quickly relieved, his face still became worse by the naked eye. For a moment, news about the emperor's health was also spread among the civil and military officials in the court. Shen Qingxi clearly remembered that Emperor Longzong's health began to deteriorate this year.

Because of this episode, the palace banquet ended much earlier than in previous years. The court officials did not show their faces but were muttering in their hearts. Therefore, after the palace banquet ended, everyone was worried. Shen Qingxi held the old lady's arm and walked out. After walking a few steps, she saw Chu Qi and Zhao Zilan walking in front not far away. Shen Qingxi subconsciously slowed down.

The old lady walked slowly and easily, so she didn't notice anything. She just whispered to Shen Qingxi, "Why do you think that Your Majesty's complexion is not as good as before?"

Shen Qingxi didn't dare to let others hear these comments, so she whispered, "After all, I'm old."

The old lady also knew that the important place of the palace was not about these things, so she quickly stopped. Shen Qingxi looked around while walking, as if she was looking for someone. The old lady quickly discovered it and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you looking for Prince Song?"

The old lady thought Shen Qingxi was looking for Song Ze, but in fact she was looking for Chu Ye. However, when the old lady asked this, Shen Qingxi couldn't deny it, so she nodded, "Yes."

The old lady patted Shen Qingxi's hand and smiled gently, "You are close to Prince Song, this is excellent."

Shen Qingxi could only smile bitterly when she heard this, but could not explain it. After all, among the people who came today, there was no doubt that they could only look for Song Ze.

Just after leaving the palace gate and getting on the carriage, Shen Qingxi did not see Chu Ye. In the palace, Chu Ye was accompanying Shufei back to his bedroom.

When he arrived at Shufei's bedroom, Chu Ye asked in a low voice, "Father's body..."

Shufei stepped down and said, "Three days ago, I coughed up phlegm once, and my complexion was not very good these days. The Imperial Hospital has been prescribing medicine to treat him since autumn. But when he was young, he was too careless. The root of the disease left on his lungs, which is difficult to remove. If you get angry today, you can't hide it. However, it's not a big problem for the time being. I have kept someone in Chongzheng Palace. I will notify you if there is any news."

Chu Ye nodded, "I guess there is no big problem, but seeing my father's cough so tragic today, I'm afraid it will arouse many people's suspicion."

When Shufei heard this, she smiled, "If you doubt it, just doubt it. The third prince can't wait. The prince has long disliked the third prince. Your Majesty is sick and just gave them a chance. Let's watch the fire from the other side of the river."

Concubine Shu came from the General's Mansion. Since childhood, she has been influenced by her father's teaching of military tactics. Even though she is gentle on the outside, she has a sense of Confucian general in her heart.

After a slight salute, Concubine Shu looked at Chu Ye with a smile, "What are you going to do if Miss Shen? She is fifteen years old this year, so you have to hurry up to avoid the troubles."
