The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1278

Chapter 1278: Chapter 1087: Exposed

The Emperor has fallen into a coma, and the Sixth Prince is now acting as regent. This sudden event left the court officials unprepared.

Many officials privately harbored doubts, yet recalling the recent kidnapping of Xiao Moreng and his siblings Daozi, combined with uncertainty over whether the Emperor would ever regain consciousness, they wisely chose to remain silent.

Since the Sixth Prince began acting as regent, he allowed members of the Imperial Clan and ministers to visit the Emperor during the first two days. Afterward, he cited the Emperor’s recovery requiring peace and quiet as a reason to refuse all visitors.

"How dare they! The Concubine Shu and Sixth Brother are clearly just keeping Father under house arrest!"

"Fourth Brother, you can’t simply stand by and let this happen!"

The Seventh Prince and others, who harbored grievances against the Concubine Shu and the Sixth Prince, were unwilling to just watch the Sixth Prince seize the throne. They joined forces and came to the Fourth Prince Residence, trying to persuade the Fourth Prince to intervene.

With the older brothers placed under confinement, the Fourth Prince was now the eldest among the remaining siblings.

The Fourth Prince looked at his younger brothers with a weary face: "I’ll go to the palace tomorrow and see if I can enter Qianqing Palace to have an audience with Father."

The Seventh Prince and the others knew the Fourth Prince had been tirelessly searching for Xiao Moreng over the past few days. They were also aware that the Fourth Prince Residence didn’t hold significant authority, but what they needed most now was a leader.

This way, if things went wrong, there would still be someone to take the lead in handling the fallout. Hence, they deliberately ignored the dark circles under the Fourth Prince’s eyes.

"Fourth Brother, there’s no way you’ll be able to see Father like this. You need to gather the ministers together—only then will Sixth Brother feel pressured into letting you meet Father."

The Fourth Prince gave his younger brothers a glance, rubbed his temples, and remained silent.

The Seventh Prince and the others still tried to persuade him when suddenly, a maidservant ran inside hurriedly to report: "Your Highness, this is terrible! The Princess Consort has coughed up blood again! Please, come check on her quickly!"

The Fourth Prince shot up to his feet so abruptly he staggered, then without a word to the Seventh Prince and the others, strode swiftly toward the back courtyard.

As they watched the Fourth Prince walk away without addressing them further, the expressions of the Seventh Prince and his companions turned grim. However, it was inappropriate for them to pursue. After waiting for a while and realizing the Fourth Prince wasn’t coming back, they could only leave in frustration.

Back courtyard.

The Fourth Prince personally fed medicine to the Princess Consort. Her complexion was pale, but far from the serious condition implied by coughing up blood.

"Your Highness, Rengreng..."

The Fourth Prince grasped the Princess Consort’s hand and gave her a reassuring look: "Rengreng will be fine."

The Princess Consort’s gaze brightened slightly. Seeing the Fourth Prince unwilling to elaborate further, she hesitated before deciding not to press him with more questions.

It wasn’t until a maidservant came to inform him that the Seventh Prince and the others had already left that the Fourth Prince stood up and walked away.
