Qi An instructed, "Prepare a wheelchair for the Crown Prince and put it directly into the palace."
The guards replied, "...Yes."
It seems he's still alive, but disabled.
The leader, steeling himself, asked, "Your Highness, should we summon the imperial physician?"
Qi An waved his hand: "No need, men are like that, what's the big deal about a bump or bruise? Don't be so delicate."
Leader: "...Yes."
"From now on, no more food or drink are allowed to be brought in, understand?"
"...Yes. The Crown Prince hasn't eaten for two days; the food sent in has all been thrown onto the ground."
Qi An sneered: "That means he's not hungry. We'll give him more food after he's finished eating all the food on the ground."
"Since they're tired of delicacies, let's switch to spoiled rice and swill. The disaster victims can't even afford spoiled rice, how dare he waste it? Let the Crown Prince also experience the hardships of the people."
"……yes."
Watching her walk away, the guards exchanged glances, understanding each other perfectly.
The situation in Da Yu is about to change.
"Sister An'an, have you regained that little beast's memories?"
"Yes, bullying children is pointless. I want him to clearly understand what sins he has committed and know that he is only getting what he deserves now."
"That's right, otherwise that little beast would think he's a victim and feel wronged."
Qi An stretched and looked towards the palace gate.
After dealing with the two scoundrels, the old man and the young boy, it was time to deal with Chen Shimei.
The tragedy of Nie Yuhuang can be attributed to the old emperor as the culprit, Nie Ming as an accomplice, and Xu Shize as the direct murderer.
She deceived him both physically and emotionally, helping Nie Ming deliver a fatal blow at a crucial moment.
Most importantly, he orchestrated the downfall of Dayu, allowing his army to indiscriminately slaughter the people of Dayu.
Nie Yuhuang hates him the most!
Outside the palace gates, a young man in white robes paced back and forth anxiously, his brows furrowed.
The guards at the palace gates, thinking he was worried about the princess, gently advised him:
"Why don't you go back to the carriage and rest first, Your Highness? I have already reported the news. The Princess knows you are waiting for her here, so she will definitely come out soon."
The young man in white turned his head, revealing an extremely handsome face. His smile was like a gentle breeze.
He nodded slightly: "Okay, thank you for your trouble."
The guard, flattered, waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "I dare not accept such praise, Your Highness is too kind to me."
Seeing the man turn and slowly walk towards the princess's carriage, the guard sighed with regret.
It's such a pity that such talent has been wasted.
The laws of Dayu state stipulate that the prince consort is not allowed to participate in government affairs.
When Xu Shize became the top scholar in the imperial examination, he rode through the streets in a red robe, looking dashing and handsome. Countless court officials wanted him to be their son-in-law.
However, at the Qionglin Banquet, Xu Shize immediately took a liking to a dashing and heroic woman, finding her to be an absolute stunner.
Upon learning that the woman was none other than Princess Nie Yuhuang, who had fought on the battlefield at the age of eighteen and beheaded the enemy, he did not hesitate at all and immediately asked the old emperor to marry the princess.
The old emperor regretted his talent and told him that if he became the emperor's son-in-law, his official career would end there.
The eldest princess also refused, saying she didn't want to marry a scholar who couldn't carry anything on his shoulders or lift any heavy loads.
Xu Shize persisted in his proposal.
Touched by his deep affection for his daughter, the old emperor finally granted them a marriage.
The top scholar became the emperor's son-in-law, and countless people felt it was a waste for him.
A real man, after years of hard study, finally becomes the top scholar in the imperial examination, but he cannot realize his ambitions and is confined to the princess's mansion for the rest of his life.
But then I thought, he's marrying the most outstanding and beautiful princess of our Great Yu, and I think this guy is really lucky.
Later, when everyone saw that the princess and her husband were playing music together in perfect harmony, they said they were a perfect match, a match made in heaven.
The above are all versions circulating among the common people in the Da Yu court.
Beneath the glamorous exterior, the truth is often unbearable.
For example, Xu Shize came for Nie Yuhuang from the beginning; there was no love at first sight or giving up his career for her.
All they have are hypocrisy and scheming.
For example, the old emperor's bestowal of marriage was not out of gratitude for his devotion, nor for the sake of his daughter's happiness.
At that time, Nie Yuhuang had just returned victorious from the battlefield, saving the people from suffering, and was at the height of her prestige.
The old emperor was wary and did not want her to have any further contact with military power, much less marry her off to a powerful duke or general.
That's why they went with the flow and chose Xu Shize, a scholar from a poor family with no power or influence, but full of scholarly air, for her.
Of course, the old emperor did not know that Xu Shize's real surname was Huangfu, and that he had come for the Great Yu Empire.
Two people with ulterior motives unexpectedly hit it off, leading to Nie Yuhuang's tragedy and the destruction of Dayu.
After turning around, Xu Shize's warm smile vanished without a trace, replaced by indifference and anxiety.
Nie Yuhuang hasn't left the palace for almost five days. What exactly happened?
Also, why is the palace suddenly so heavily guarded that even he, the prince consort, can't get in?
The emperor is seriously ill and has been absent from court for almost half a month. The affairs of state are being handled by a few cabinet ministers, but those ministers have not seen the emperor for five days.
Something must have happened in the palace!
However, none of the people he had placed in the palace sent out any news, and Nie Yuhuang could not be contacted either.
Xu Shi was extremely anxious.
The old emperor was clearly on his deathbed. At this critical juncture of the transition of imperial power, he was completely unaware of the situation, which made him very anxious.
Xu Shi thought to himself, "Should I ask the Prime Minister to inquire about this?"
Having made up his mind, he was about to secretly contact this newly recruited ally when he heard his guards behind him shout in unison:
"Greetings, Your Highness the Eldest Princess."
Has Nie Yuhuang left the palace?
Xu Shi turned around in surprise, only to meet a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
The woman was tall and slender, dressed in a red palace gown with a phoenix spreading its wings, her hair styled in a high bun, with a golden hair ornament tucked into her hair.
Just then, Jin Feng spat out a bright pearl, which hung down beside the woman's smooth face, shining brilliantly and making her look like a goddess descended from heaven.
Xu Shi stared at her blankly, somewhat mesmerized.
It's only been a few days since I last saw her, but Nie Yuhuang seems different in some way.
It was the same guard from before. Seeing the prince consort staring blankly at the princess, he covered his mouth and chuckled, teasingly saying:
"Your Highness has finally come out! Your Highness has been waiting for you for a long time. He is truly devoted to you. It's only been a few days since we last met, and he can't take his eyes off you."
After flattering her, the guard stood up straight with dignified composure, waiting to be praised by the princess.
The other guards were extremely annoyed, as this young man had been rewarded by nobles in the past because of his sweet talk.
Sigh, why weren't they born with a silver tongue? They don't even know where to begin when they want to flatter someone.
Qi An looked at the embarrassing mess in front of him and smiled slightly, and the guard also grinned widely.
"You seem to have a lot of free time. How about you go help clean the chamber pots for a month, starting tomorrow?"
The utterly bewildered idiot: "..."
The other guards, their faces flushed from trying not to laugh, were speechless.
Hahaha, you flattered someone but ended up pissed them off! Serves you right!
"Ayu!"
In the distance, Xu Shize finally came to his senses, quickly composed himself, and looked at Qi An with deep affection.
Qi An suppressed his disgust and waved to him like beckoning a dog.
Xu Shi then flashed his signature smile, his white robes fluttering, and strode towards her.
