Sure, here is the translation:
Two days later.
Perhaps it was the heavy autumn wind, or perhaps it was the Crown Prince's fury, but news suddenly broke within the palace that the Emperor had fallen ill.
The nation was in an uproar.
After urgent acupuncture by the Imperial Physician, the first thing the Emperor did upon waking was to issue an order that, apart from the Empress, no one was allowed to disturb him while he recuperated.
The Crown Prince and the Princess were to act as regents.
Meanwhile, Sikong Jian and other officials, who had been pleading for the Crown Prince in front of Ming Hall, had already knelt for a day and a night.
The Holy Decree was announced, and Sikong Jian and his peers breathed a sigh of relief.
Each one of them collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
And so the Crown Prince's resignation matter was carelessly put to rest.
Everyone was satisfied with this outcome, except for the Crown Prince himself.
