Chapter 308: This Palace Will Temporarily Manage the Court Affairs

The next day.

The leading imperial guard looked at Tang Zhongxu lying on the bed wailing, scratching his head anxiously.

What should I do?

We can't just leave him here and ignore him!

I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid that if the Crown Princess really gives birth to the emperor's eldest grandson, Lord Tang might really be able to reinstate his position.

Thinking of this, the imperial guard said with a worried look on his face: "Don't worry, Master Tang. I will send someone to call a doctor right away."

So, he ordered the guards beside him: "Hurry and find the best doctor."

"As you command."

The guard ran out of the inn, asking for a doctor along the way.

Tang Zhongxu huddled on the bed with a pale face, and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you very much.

"Don't worry, I will definitely promote you all when I return to my post."

The Royal Guard waved his hand and said, "It's just a small favor."

Tang Zhongxu couldn't help but shiver again when he thought about the several strong men in black last night.

Regardless of whether those people were bandits or not, he was certain that they were sent by General Chu.

After the guard led the doctor to the guest room, Tang Zhongxu howled again, "Doctor, come and have a look at my leg! My leg is broken."

The doctor looked at Tang Zhongxu, who was howling like a ghost, and frowned in disgust.

He put down the medicine box and sat beside the bed to check Tang Zhongxu's broken leg...

After a long moment, he shook his head and said, "Your broken leg...I can't heal it."

"You'd better seek help from someone else!"

Tang Zhongxu's face changed drastically when he heard this. "Doctor, please don't leave. My leg can still be saved..."

After the doctor finished speaking, he bowed apologetically to Tang Zhongxu and left quickly with his medicine box on his back.

Tang Zhongxu stared at his broken leg in a daze and began to cry bitterly.

His legs... that was it.

No, there must be another way.

Oh, right, the divine doctor Yun from the capital...

Doctor Yun has superb medical skills and will definitely heal his broken leg.

After the doctor left, Tang Zhongxu shouted to everyone, "Let's hurry back to the capital."

"I'm going to find Dr. Yun to heal my broken leg."

"If I go back too late, my legs will be broken."

Everyone: “…”

You think you can ask Dr. Yun to help you? Just dream on!

Forget it, I have to return to Beijing to report anyway, so I'll just meet your request!

After leaving the inn, Tang Zhongxu, supported by his guards, climbed onto the cart with a grimace and dragged his broken leg.

So, the group set out on the difficult journey back to Beijing.

Capital city.

Early in the morning, news spread from the palace that Xiao Junze had suddenly fallen ill last night and needed to rest for a while.

During the morning court session, except for Fu Yunheng, who was in the know, the rest of the officials were whispering to each other.

"Why is the Emperor ill again?"

"Hey, the emperor didn't look well during the morning court two days ago. He must be sick from exhaustion."

"Your Majesty works day and night, it's not easy!"

......

Fu Yunheng: The emperor is indeed working hard day and night.

He schemed every day, fearing that someone else would take away the throne.

At this moment, a sharp voice came from outside the Golden Palace: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

Xiao Mocheng entered the Golden Palace wearing a python robe and walked straight to the seat next to the dragon throne and sat down.

All the civil and military officials were stunned for a moment, then they all knelt and saluted, shouting in unison: "Your Highness, we respectfully welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. May His Royal Highness live a thousand years, a thousand years, and a thousand thousand years."

"No need for formalities, my dear ministers!" Xiao Mocheng was in high spirits and full of vigor.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince." All the civil and military officials slowly stood up.

Xiao Mocheng looked at the dragon throne beside him, and a gleam of determination flashed in his eyes.

This time, I will take down the throne no matter what.

Xiao Shunzi noticed Xiao Mocheng's strangeness and whispered, "Your Highness..."

Xiao Mocheng knew that he had just been distracted, so he coughed lightly to conceal his emotions without leaving a trace.

Fu Yunheng, who was standing at the front, did not miss the obsessed look in Xiao Mocheng's eyes when he looked at the dragon throne.

Tsk tsk, I'm afraid the emperor has other plans this time...

Let’s wait and see!

Xiao Mocheng sat above, scanning the faces of all the civil and military officials one by one.

This time, we have made every possible effort.

He wanted to use these two months to first win over Ning Jinghuai, the prince of the Duke's Mansion, and also to bring over the sickly man in the General's Mansion...

When his father returns to the capital, he will send someone to assassinate him...

As long as his father was assassinated, he would naturally inherit the throne.

If the assassination fails, then try the worst plan...

For some reason, the aura emanating from Xiao Mocheng at this moment gave the ministers the illusion that the Crown Prince was planning a rebellion and seizing the throne...

They secretly thought: The emperor suddenly fell ill, could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did something behind the scenes?

Mom, you have to be smart during this period.

This is the rhythm of the change...

Xiao Mocheng lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment before he said in a deep voice, "My dear ministers, my father suddenly fell ill last night. The imperial physician diagnosed that he fell ill due to overwork."

"So, Father needs to rest for a while."

"During this period, I will temporarily take charge of the court affairs, and Lord Fu will assist me." Xiao Mocheng said, looking at Fu Yunheng who was standing in the front.

I don’t know who this non-competitive Lord Fu belongs to?

The ministers lowered their eyes, bowed, and said, "We understand."

Okay, next it will be the prince’s “world”.

......

Outside the capital.

Sheng Yunshao and Princess Anran were dressed in casual clothes and sat happily in the carriage.

Two plainclothes guards rode on horses, one on the left and one on the right, guarding the carriage on both sides.

"Ruoxin, we must enjoy the scenery along the way this time." Sheng Yunshao said, lifting the curtain and spitting at the luxurious carriage in front.

Dog Emperor, I have prepared all kinds of poisons for you.

Princess Anran was also very happy about this "visit to relatives".

She looked at the spring scenery outside and chuckled, "The weather is pleasant, it's a good time to go out and have fun."

This time, I came forward to bring Jin'er back, just to shut those people up...

In the luxurious carriage moving ahead, Xiao Junze, dressed in brocade clothes, closed his eyes, his face full of fatigue.

He was exhausted after leaving the city all night last night.

Manager Ji sat on one side with a frown on his face, occasionally lifting the curtain to observe the movements around him.

Alas, even though I left Beijing secretly, I was still worried about what might happen!

I don't know why, but ever since leaving the capital, my eyelids have been twitching. I always feel like this time...

Bah, bah...The emperor will definitely tame that phoenix.

Xiao Junze seemed to sense Steward Ji's uneasiness and said, "Ji Tao, don't worry. I have arranged everything. Nothing will go wrong."

"I understand." Steward Ji lowered the curtain, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Junze.

"Master, have a cup of tea to refresh yourself. The scenery here is quite nice."

Xiao Junze opened his eyes, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of tea.

He opened the car curtain and had no mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery around him.

Looking at the capital city gradually disappearing from his sight, Xiao Junze sighed slightly.

I hope everything goes well on this trip!
