He simply asked Li Guangde to go to the Imperial Medical Bureau, find a few imperial physicians, and hurriedly send them to Qu Zhaoyue's fiefdom.
But in fact, deep in his heart, his fear of Qu Zhaoyue was instantly reduced by more than half.
After all, in his eyes, he was just a son who was disabled in appearance and was likely to die soon.
At this moment, he recalled the father-son relationship between them and his heart softened for a moment.
When Li Guangde came back, he asked Li Guangde to go to his private warehouse to find good medicinal herbs and send them to Qu Zhaoyue.
"yes!"
Li Guangde agreed.
When he went to the private treasury of Emperor Jingxi, Li Guangde thought that it seemed that the ninth prince was the most favored by the emperor among all the princes.
Last time when Prince Ding disappeared, His Majesty had no reaction, but this time he is very concerned about Prince Rui.

Concubine Yun Shu, who also had extensive and well-informed channels of information, learned about this matter soon after.
She laughed heartily for several times without any scruples, then grabbed a handful of golden melon seeds and threw them into the hands of the messenger without hesitation.
"I'm in an especially good mood today, so this is a reward from me for you!"
The messenger's eyes instantly became extremely hot, full of greed and desire: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!"
After Concubine Yun Shu had laughed enough, she immediately turned around and started writing a letter to Yan Cheng.
The gist of the letter remained the same as before, asking Yan Cheng to act quickly and decisively, and telling him that he only had one opponent left, and that he would do his utmost to help him win over the ministers in the court.
Concubine Yun Shu actually didn't want to urge him so eagerly all the time. She knew very well that such frequent urging would make Yan Cheng feel annoyed and resistant to her.
But she was also helpless because her child was too stubborn and uncooperative!
If it were Xiao Qi...
Thinking of her eldest son, Concubine Yun Shu's expression suddenly froze, the smile on her face froze instantly, and she suddenly lost the passion and interest to continue writing the letter.
She silently put down the pen in her hand, her eyes became empty and lifeless, and her thoughts drifted to somewhere far away.

In Yongshou Palace, curls of incense are rising in the Buddhist hall, creating a hazy environment as if one is in the clouds and fog.
In front of the tall and solemn golden Buddha statue, two women were kneeling, one in front and one behind.
The woman in front is wearing a gorgeous palace dress, which is embroidered with exquisite patterns, making it look like a cluster of flowers.
Behind her was a nanny. Her clothes were simple, ordinary in color and common in style, forming a sharp contrast with Lu Zhaoyuan.
At this time, Lu Zhaoyuan was devoutly holding the Buddhist beads in her hands, her lips moving slightly, and she was muttering something, which was the obscure Buddhist scriptures.
Her face seemed a little hazy in the smoke of cigarettes, but her concentration and piety could still be seen.
The nanny behind had been kneeling for a long time. At first she managed to keep quiet, but as time went on, she finally lost her patience.
The strong curiosity was like an unstoppable flame, burning more and more brightly in her heart.
She asked, "My Lady, there's only one left now. Should we continue?"
Lu Zhaoyuan's chanting stopped abruptly. She slowly opened her eyes, her gaze as calm as water, and said in a calm voice, "We have tried, but we never succeeded, right?
"He was too alert and cautious. Our tactics were completely ineffective against him."
Lu Zhaoyuan shook her head slightly and continued, "Every time he made a careful plan, it fell on deaf ears without causing any waves. He is more capable than the other princes."
After hearing this, the nanny showed an unwilling look on her face and said anxiously: "My lady, then we should just ignore him?
Lu Zhaoyuan was silent for a moment, her eyes became profound, and then she slowly said:
"Leaving a shield behind might not be a bad thing. I raised my child too innocently, and now he's not capable of standing on his own. If there's a shield in front of him, perhaps it can buy him some time to grow."
"Actually, the person I initially chose was Prince Rui. Yang Guifei's humble background means that Prince Rui has no strong backing. Even if Prince Rui is lucky enough to ascend the throne, with our means and strategies, we have a way to pull him down from that high position."
A regretful smile appeared on Lu Zhaoyuan's face.
"What a pity! Prince Rui was so foolish that he brought himself to this state. He had ambition but no ability. At the final moment of his succession, he had already disfigured himself and was seriously injured, requiring medical help."
Nanny listened to Lu Zhaoyuan's words and nodded thoughtfully, but couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
Lu Zhaoyuan closed her eyes again, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's wait and see, and wait for the right opportunity!"
The Buddhist hall fell into silence again, with only the incense still rising slowly.

In Kangtai City, the health condition of the Marquis of Zhenbei has improved a lot compared to a few months ago. He has finally come out of the crisis of being seriously ill.
But the traces of time cannot be erased after all. He is an old man after all, and after experiencing such a serious illness, his health is no longer as good as before.
The once vigorous steps have become slow and heavy, and the once straight spine has slightly bent. Although the majestic image of the past is still vaguely visible, it is more of the vicissitudes and fatigue left by the years.
Yun Cong'an's leg injury has gradually healed, but he is still unable to make large movements.
After Yun Rongxi and the other man were injured in Xiangcheng, Yan Cheng quickly sent them to Kangtai City.
