In order to continue to ruin the plot, Yao Guangyue could only try to cry every night, until her throat was broken from crying.

No matter who tried to coax her, it wouldn't work, not even the emperor playing with her day and night.

The result of crying like this was that Yao Guangyue's throat became inflamed and she had a fever.

After learning that Yao Guangyue had a fever, the emperor became extremely anxious and forced Doctor Wen to lead a group of imperial doctors to keep watch over her day and night.

The imperial concubine guarded her daughter day and night. From Yao Guangyue's inner voice, we can know that she was crying because of the Taoist priest.

In order to let Yao Guangyue rest for a while, he had to ask the emperor in front of her.

"Your Majesty, the little princess is crying so hard, could it be related to the Taoist priest who just came into the palace?"

The emperor didn't know that the imperial concubine could also hear Yao Guangyue's thoughts, but he thought that since the imperial concubine asked this, he might as well tell her the reason why he kept the Taoist priest.

While the emperor was thinking, the imperial concubine had already started crying.

"Your Majesty, ever since the Taoist priest entered the palace, the little princess has been crying day and night. This cannot help but make people suspicious. I only have this one daughter. Your Majesty, please understand my mother's feelings."

As the imperial concubine was speaking, Yao Guangyue's inner voice echoed.

"My dear mother knows how to talk, so please say more. If you keep crying, my voice will be ruined. Get that Taoist priest out of here quickly! He will ruin my cheap father's reputation and even poison him!"

Hearing that Yao Guangyue was so concerned about him, the emperor couldn't help but smile.

Then he picked up his daughter and explained amiably, "Your Highness, you are worrying too much. That Taoist priest has no special abilities at all. I only kept him here because I saw he had some unusual skills and tricks, hoping he would pave the way for my princess in the future!"

As soon as this explanation came out, Yao Guangyue stopped crying instantly, and the imperial concubine was also a little confused.

Before, she had wondered if the emperor had witnessed the true reincarnation of a mythical beast and had become obsessed with immortality.

But now it seemed that this was said for the sake of his daughter, so he asked again: "What does your Majesty mean by this?"

The emperor was openly explaining to the imperial concubine, but secretly wanted Yao Guangyue to know what he was thinking.

So he explained everything in detail: "Some time ago, the eldest prince mentioned to me that he wanted to build a temple for the little princess to pray for the gods' protection, so that she would be admired by the people and protected in peace and happiness."

Although Yao Guangyue was very happy about the emperor's thoughts, she also felt a little confused.

"You want to build a temple for me, and it will be admired by the people, which is a good thing, but why keep the Taoist priest? He's a bad guy! Wouldn't that make him the abbot of my temple?"

The imperial concubine was also a little confused, so she followed the little princess's thoughts and asked again, "But what does building a temple have to do with that Taoist priest?"

The emperor gave a meaningful smile. "Of course it matters. If the little princess didn't help the people, how could the people offer incense to her? That's why I kept this Taoist priest here, and let him use his little tricks to deceive people."

"Once everyone believes he truly possesses divine power, I'll use him to proclaim that my daughter is the reincarnation of a divine beast. This way, I'll earn the people's worship."

Yao Guangyue finally understood. After all this fuss, her emperor father had this in mind.

[This is indeed a very useful method, but it breaks the plot value and cannot completely turn you into the heroine. You still need a certain amount of faith value. You are truly worthy of being the emperor. So smart!]

When the emperor heard his daughter praising his intelligence, he was very proud and couldn't stop smiling.

At this time, Yao Guangyue was really tired because she had been tossing and turning for too long, so she yawned, muttered a few words, and fell asleep.

"Such a great idea, why didn't you tell me earlier? It's been so stressful for me for several days and even made me sick. I'm so sleepy!"

Hearing that her daughter's troubles were all due to the emperor's self-righteousness, the imperial concubine couldn't help but roll her eyes at the emperor.

The emperor pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly, and waited until Yao Guangyue fell asleep before returning her to the imperial concubine, and gave her a few instructions, asking her to take good care of her.

When the imperial concubine bowed, her eyes almost rolled up to the sky. After the emperor left, she couldn't help but complain in her heart.

"If I don't take good care of my daughter, who can? Could it be your queen? You're really going to make a fool of yourself!"

It's no wonder that the imperial concubine was angry. She had been carefully watching out for the people in her palace during this period. After careful investigation, she actually dug out many of the queen's people.

It is hard to imagine how serious the consequences would be if these people stayed around.

Seeing that the imperial concubine was unhappy, Xiyan brought up her favorite pastries to serve her.

"Your Majesty, please have some cakes. You haven't had a proper meal in a long time because you've been taking care of the little princess. I'll serve you some food in a while. After dinner, please take a good rest."

The imperial concubine waved her hands weakly, feeling a bit of a headache. She sat on the stool beside her, propping her head on her hand and asked, "Have you investigated the situation at Shupin's home?"

Xiyan lowered his head and replied, "Everything has been thoroughly investigated. Shupin's brother was born with a congenital weakness. In order to treat the illness, her father occasionally had dirty hands and feet."

The imperial concubine let out a long sigh and said, "Tell my brother to help with these things secretly so that Shulan's father will not be caught by others. As for his younger brother, find a famous doctor to take care of him first!"

"yes!"

The Taoist priest's entry into the palace indeed caused a huge uproar, and many people in the court were protesting against him.

Among them, the words of the imperial concubine's father, General Mu, were the most intense.

But this is not surprising. General Mu spent the first half of his life on the battlefield and made great military achievements. The second half of his life he taught the prince. He had countless disciples, and half of the military officers in the court were his students.

The cane in General Mu's hand once hit two princes and made them cry, and the current emperor was one of them.

The old general rapped his cane, stepped forward, and began to make a report: "Your Majesty, I recently heard that Your Majesty is seeking the way to immortality and has summoned a Taoist priest to the palace. This move is detrimental to the country and the people. Your Majesty, please reconsider!"

The old general still spoke in a sonorous and forceful voice, and the thumping sound of his cane was so loud that the veins in the emperor's forehead jumped.

You know, when this old man was a child, he hit his head with a cane, and the lump didn't go away for three whole days.

However, the late emperor believed that the old general was right to do so, and always felt that only a strict teacher can produce a good student. As a result, the emperor had a lot of trouble on his head since he was a child.

At this time, the emperor calmed his mind and said with a serious and majestic face: "Please rest assured, old general, I am not obsessed with the way of immortality. I only seek this Taoist priest into the palace for a temporary interest!"
