Chapter 1042: Happy
Manbao thought about it and nodded.
Bai Shan glanced at her and continued, "Classmates often talk about how His Highness's temper is getting worse every year. Today, I saw that he had a fearless and aggressive demeanor. Sir, I'm afraid the Emperor won't be too fond of the Crown Prince acting like this. Can we really see the Emperor through him?"
In Bai Shan's opinion, he doesn't care whether the Crown Prince and the Third Prince fight or not. Let them fight as they please. He just wants to know whether he can see the Emperor through the Crown Prince, and whether the Emperor can pay attention to him and redress the injustice he suffered twelve years ago.
Mr. Zhuang pondered for a moment, then said, "The emperor is not someone who would sacrifice public interest for personal gain."
Bai Shan understood immediately. He turned to Man Bao and said, "I'm not on holiday until tomorrow. I'll go with you."
Manbao nodded and said, "Let's go to Jishitang first. I don't know how the doctor Ji is doing and whether he has been saved."
"Jishidang has good medicine. Doctor Ji lost less blood than Su Jian, so it should be fine, right?"
"Not necessarily," Manbao said, "Doctor Ji's beard is all gray."
Bai Shan: ...
He felt that Manbao's attention to age was always unusual.
Mr. Zhuang also smiled and shook his head. He glanced at the sky and saw that their hair was almost dry, so he said, "You must be tired after running around all day. Go back to your room and rest. Tomorrow, when you go to the Duke of Pi's Mansion, listen more and talk less. Although you need to maintain a relationship with the Crown Prince, don't rush it, otherwise it will backfire."
Bai Shan and Man Bao agreed, looked at each other, and went back to the house to rest.
Manbao directly logged into the system to discuss today's condition with Teacher Mo. He wrote down the prescriptions and the explanations of the imperial doctors and shared them with Teacher Mo for analysis. He was busy until late at night before logging out of the system. After yawning, he hugged the quilt and fell asleep.
The capital city was already a little chilly during the Mid-Autumn Festival, especially at night. Even though it was August 16th, everyone in Changqing Lane had gone to bed and the streets and alleys were silent.
Manbao and Baishan were both having a sweet dream, sleeping soundly with their limbs limp, but some people in the inner city and the imperial city who lived far away from them were not so lucky.
It was a rare opportunity to rest and to be in a good mood. Taking advantage of the opportunity of a few trusted ministers coming to the palace to chat, the emperor was very happy and naturally avoided Wei Zhi and his friends and sneaked out of the palace to play.
So they completely missed wave after wave of censors and servants going to the palace.
The memorials from the censor impeaching the crown prince and Du Yu were piled on the desk, and the servants of the Su family ran back and forth, and the news was passed in, but their Duke did not come out.
It was not until the evening that the emperor, who had not seen the lanterns on the fifteenth, saw the lanterns on the sixteenth, and then he happily took three or four good ministers home; oh no, he returned to the palace, and then he received three very bad pieces of news.
First, the youngest son of the Su family and the youngest son of the Du family got into a fight while playing polo, and one of them was seriously injured and dying;
Second, the prince had Doctor Ji beheaded;
Third, the prince captured the two brothers of the Du family and brought them to the Su family. I wonder if he wants them to pay with their lives.
While others were still stunned and didn't react, Duke Pi just sat down on the ground.
The emperor was originally furious and wanted to draw his sword and chop off the troublesome prince right now, but seeing him like this, his anger paused, and he reached out to help him up and comforted him: "Don't worry, Su Qing, Sanlang will be fine."
Duke Pi was not only worried about his youngest son, but also his son-in-law.
He curled his lips, bowed and said goodbye to the emperor.
The emperor said, "I will go with you to see it."
The Duke of Pi quickly refused, "How dare I accept this? It's already late at night. If Your Majesty doesn't return to the palace, the palace will be worried."
But the emperor insisted on going, who could stop him?
Duke Zhao was also worried about his nephew, thinking that the only one who could stop the prince now was probably the emperor, so he did not force him to do anything.
Everyone turned around and rode towards the Duke of Pi's Mansion.
When they arrived at the Duke of Pi's Mansion, they went straight to the inner courtyard without informing anyone.
At this time, the Crown Princess also came over despite her illness. She came in the evening mainly because she heard that the imperial guards had taken the Du brothers to her parents' home.
She didn't dare let the queen know about this, and didn't find a chance to leave the palace until the evening. As soon as she left the palace, she rushed to her parents' home.
When the emperor rushed in with a group of people, Old Lady Su and the prince were sitting at the top of the table eating, and the Du brothers were also holding their bowls.
The emperor rushed in and saw this rather joyful scene, and was stunned for a long time.
The faces of the three men were a little pale. They thought that the blood was drawn in the afternoon, but Manbao would not admit it. She insisted that they scared themselves because drawing such a small amount of blood would not have much impact.
However, at this moment, the three of them were drinking blood-replenishing soup. When they heard such a loud noise, they all looked towards the door in dissatisfaction.
Seeing the person coming in, everyone quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks and knelt on the ground in unison.
The emperor walked around the Du brothers in surprise and found that they were kneeling peacefully and did not look injured.
The prince raised his head and looked at him. Although he was still kneeling, he asked directly, "Why are you here, Aye?"
The emperor finally came back to his senses, coughed lightly, waved his hand and said, "Get up."
Everyone got up then.
The emperor then looked at Madam Su gently and asked softly, "Sister-in-law, how is Sanlang?"
Madam Su sighed, "He's still in a coma. The doctor said if he wakes up tomorrow, he'll be half alive again."
The emperor didn't expect it to be so serious. He frowned and looked at the prince and asked, "What's going on? It's a big festival, why are you making a fuss?"
The prince lowered his eyes and said, "It was Du Yu who beat him, not me."
Du Shu immediately took Du Yu to kneel on the ground and apologize.
After all, she had just drawn the brothers' blood. Madam Su hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, the boys were playing polo and were a bit impulsive. It's not their fault. It's just that a nail got embedded in the sole of Sanlang's boot. If it hadn't pierced the horse's belly, Sanlang wouldn't have fallen off the horse with his ability."
The emperor frowned slightly.
He turned around and asked the prince, "What did you find out?"
"When he went to the stables today, he accidentally got splashed by a puddle on the side of the road. He changed into a new pair of boots there. He also brought those boots with him. The guards took his clothes and the servants around him. We can't get anything out of him yet."
The emperor slammed his palm on the table and shouted angrily: "Investigate! Let the Jingzhao Yin..."
After saying this, he remembered that Yin Li was not in the capital. He coughed lightly and said, "Let the Ministry of Justice investigate."
After giving these instructions, the emperor frowned and looked at the kneeling Du Shu and Du Yu. Thinking of their father who had been with him through thick and thin, and his early death leaving only these two sons, he sighed and waved his hand, saying, "Stand up. You and Su Jian have been friends since childhood. You can play around, but fighting like this is forbidden. Are you going to ruin all the love your fathers have worked so hard to build?"
Du Shu pulled Du Yu down to kneel again with a shameful look on his face, and responded shamefully.
The next update will be around 4:00 PM
