Chapter 366: Have you really thought it through?
The third prince of Mobei injured his leg, but Lan Ting hugged and protected Xiao Yue when he fell off the cliff.
It is easy to imagine the impact of the two people's weight falling on Lan Ting. He was covered in wounds and lost a lot of blood due to untimely treatment. He also developed a high fever and fell into a coma.
The doctor prescribed some medicine and it has been some time since he woke up.
Whenever Xiao Yue thought of the danger at that time, she would tremble with fear all over. Seeing Lan Ting like this, she couldn't stop crying.
The princess advised her several times to go eat and rest, but she refused to listen, so she had no choice but to let her cry.
Returning to the main room with her son and husband, she said with a headache: "Look at Yue'er like that, I don't know whether I should hope that he wakes up or..."
She was too heartless to say the following words, so she didn't say them in the end.
If the person just died, their family's troubles would naturally be gone too.
But she was very worried about her daughter's condition.
The Prince of Lin'an had a chubby face, but there was no trace of worry. He smiled and said, "Of course I'm looking forward to him waking up. If it weren't for him, Yue'er might have gotten involved with that Mobei prince, and he might even have a broken leg. Are you happy with that?"
The Princess was choked by him, but she was not angry. She just said, "I'm worried that the boy's family affairs will implicate us."
After saying that, he asked his son, "Is the third prince of Mobei's leg really broken?"
Xiao Yu nodded solemnly: "My son has consulted the imperial physician, and his leg may not be curable."
Doesn't that mean he has no chance of becoming king?
The Princess was secretly happy in her heart, thinking that this was simply retribution for letting this wicked guy plot against her daughter.
Even if she didn't know what was going on, she wouldn't think it was a coincidence that the Third Prince of Mobei met his daughter who happened to be frightened of a horse.
The Prince of Lin'an stroked a wisp of his beard and smiled inscrutablely, "Not necessarily. The child in the Marquis of Changxing's mansion had his leg broken ten years ago. The imperial physicians said it couldn't be cured, but now he's alive and kicking."
Xiao Yu felt that there was something behind his father's words, so he reminded him, "Father, don't tell anyone else what you said."
The Prince of Lin'an didn't take it seriously: "Many people in the capital know about this. Whether I tell them or not, the people of Mobei will know."
Xiao Yu: “…”
He didn't know what Zhao Shen meant, so naturally he didn't want to implicate him.
The Princess felt that the father and son were going too far: "Let's talk about what to do with Yue'er first?"
Prince Lin'an laughed and said, "Isn't this fate sent by heaven? It can't be stopped. The palace should start preparing for the wedding."
Princess of the County: "...that person's identity?"
Why does she feel that her husband is somewhat unreliable?
The daughter who was raised like a treasure is going to marry a sinner?
The Prince of Lin'an seemed to have remembered something and stood up, saying, "You are right. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible. I will go and explain the situation to the Emperor. The Lan family's case was decided by the late Emperor. After all, they haven't committed any heinous crimes. I don't think the Emperor will pursue it."
The affair of Concubine Lan was kept secret, and the Lan family was exiled, accused of deceiving the emperor, but there was actually no specific crime.
As long as the emperor is willing to raise his hand, it won’t be a big problem.
At this time, the emperor was worried about the broken leg of the third prince of Mobei.
Early in the morning, the imperial physician came to report that the third prince's leg might not be cured, and he felt that there would be trouble.
Sure enough, after a while, the envoy from Mobei came to ask which miracle doctor cured Zhao Shen's leg?
Fortunately, for convenience, Zhao Shen said that he went to Suzhou to find a traveling doctor to cure him.
The emperor told the other party this directly.
When Zhao Shen arrived, he was happily drinking a cup of chrysanthemum tea.
"I knew that someone would be unable to restrain themselves and do something when they suddenly came to the palace. Sure enough, after only two days..."
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Emperor Jingming said angrily, "I'm not a wise fool. Tell me, that Mobei prince seemed uninterested in the marriage before, so why did he suddenly think of plotting against the young lady of the Prince's Mansion?"
But don’t tell him that the Third Prince suddenly fell in love with Xiao Yue. These two people can’t even get along with each other. How will they live if they really get married?
Zhao Shen poured himself a cup of chrysanthemum tea, took a sip, and found that it tasted quite good.
It’s so hot these days that anyone can get irritated easily.
"I suspect it has something to do with the young lady from Prince Yong's mansion?"
"Xiao Ting? Why would she do this?"
Seeing that he was taking his time, Emperor Jingming felt that he was not so anxious or angry anymore.
Zhao Shen didn't know whether the emperor had truly not expected this or was deliberately testing him. He stroked his teacup with one hand and said calmly, "Of course I don't want to be sent to marry. Even if two princes came from Mobei, they would probably only marry one princess."
Emperor Jingming sneered, "In fact, I really intend to let her go to marry. After all, Prince Yong's Mansion has colluded with Mobei, so I don't mind marrying a daughter there."
Although Zhao Shen had also considered this, he did not want to go all out like the emperor.
The emperor no longer has any patience with Prince Yong's Mansion.
"What you thought before is no longer important. What matters now is whether Mobei will use the Third Prince's leg to make a fuss."
"What can I say? He went to the mountains on his own, and he broke his leg instead of saving someone because of his poor martial arts skills. Can you blame me? If Mobei uses this to trouble me, I don't mind discussing with them why he happened to encounter Yue'er's startled horse."
Zhao Shen raised his eyebrows: "Your Majesty, do you have evidence?"
Emperor Jingming said proudly, "What has been done will naturally leave traces, not to mention that I have people keeping a special eye on him."
Zhao Shen was not surprised: "That's good."
Emperor Jingming said, "Although the Third Prince may not be very smart, the people around him are always reasonable, so this matter should be over. As for you, they came to ask me about the miracle doctor who cured your leg early this morning."
Zhao Shen remained calm and said, "A miracle doctor is something you only meet by chance. I don't even know where he is right now."
Emperor Jingming pointed at him and smiled, not exposing his accusation. Instead, he said, "Speaking of which, the Third Prince's broken leg was a stroke of genius. Didn't Mobei want to buy time? Now they can do that."
Zhao Shen's expression suddenly became serious: "Your Majesty, have you really thought it through?"
Emperor Jingming snorted, "Now, all signs indicate that the people of Mobei have no good intentions. The peace talks are just a way to buy time. They are pretending to build a plank road while secretly attacking Chencang. I am not a weakling. Do I have to wait for them to come knocking on my door before I take precautions?"
"But the people in the court attach great importance to this peace talk and do not want to start a war, nor do they want General Ji to make any more achievements."
Emperor Jingming glanced at Zhao Shen and said, "What are you talking about? You just don't believe me."
Zhao Shen: "...What I mean is that the general is getting old, so it would be better to train new people as soon as possible."
Emperor Jingming looked at him in confusion: "Who else could be more reliable than my own uncle?"
You didn't think so before.
Zhao Shen sighed inwardly, it seemed that the emperor would continue to rely on the Ji family father and son.
"Well, it's good that Your Majesty has thought it through. The matter in Mobei doesn't seem to be that simple."
Emperor Jingming smiled and said, "I heard that Princess Wujina wants to be queen?"
