Imperial Palace, outside Qi Yun's sleeping quarters, people knelt on the ground.
Crown Prince Qi Junji, Third Prince Qi Junyi, Seventh Prince Qi Junchen were there, as well as the Empress, Consort Xue, Princess Consort Zhen, and other concubines, princes, and princesses.
Empress Qiao appeared calm, quietly kneeling and waiting, while Crown Prince Qi Junji seemed overly dramatic, crying loudly, hoping his father would awaken soon.
Qi Junyi and Qi Junchen were a bit better, though their expressions were filled with grief and agony.
Their emotions were genuine. If Qi Yun were indeed to die from this, the throne would undoubtedly go to the Crown Prince Qi Junji, as he was rightfully the Crown Prince!
Therefore, among the princes present, the ones who least wanted Qi Yun to have any mishaps were the Third and Seventh Princes, while ironically, the one who most wanted something to happen to Qi Yun was the seemingly tearful Crown Prince.
