"Eunuch Quan, may I ask for what matter the Emperor has summoned me? Did the Emperor give any instructions?" Gu Chengyu saw Xiao Quanzi hurrying along, his shorter legs moving extremely fast, and could not help asking.
"The Emperor's poison suddenly flared up again. Director Zhang is at his wits' end and asks Mr. Gu to come and take a look." Xiao Quanzi wiped the sweat at the corner of his forehead. The weather was cold, yet his forehead was beaded with sweat.
"How could that be? Yesterday the Emperor still looked fine—how could the poison suddenly flare up today? These days the Emperor has not been toiling, he should have been recuperating quite well!" Gu Chengyu was a bit surprised; the Emperor's relapse was far too sudden.
"We don't know either! He was still fine this morning! It was far too abrupt—when the Emperor was taking his morning meal, he even had a rare good appetite and ate much more than usual."
