Li Xiaoyuan sternly ordered the Dali Temple to track down the whereabouts of the gang of bandits, and ordered the mobilization of troops and summoned ministers to the palace.
"He wants to save the eldest prince," Gu Xinglang explained to Yu Xiaoxiao in a low voice.
Yu Xiaoxiao's mind is on the Dasihai Restaurant at the moment. She has heard Jiang Zhuojun say that the person who harmed the four emperors was this Great Emperor. She has already made up her mind, so it is impossible for Yu Xiaoxiao to care about the Great Emperor's life or death.
Gu Xinglang took Yu Xiaoxiao out of the palace and stood in front of the palace gate. He asked the guards guarding the palace gate how to get to Dasihai Restaurant. Then Mr. Gu took his wife straight to Dasihai.
Princess Linglong then left the palace, and Li Xiaoyuan also left the Queen's Palace. When they walked up, the King of Suzaku asked the doctor, "Did Yu Linglong really save Li Yuan?"
Yu Xiaoxiao sutured Li Yuan's wound, applied medicine, and gave him an injection. The doctor watched the whole process and replied to Li Xiaoyuan, "Your Majesty, Princess Linglong has stopped the bleeding for you. As long as you get over the fever tonight, your life will be safe."
"What medicine did she give Li Yuan?" Li Xiaoyuan asked.
The doctor shook his head and said, "I have never seen such an instrument before." (The wooden bell tube and the iron needle are a fusion of the wisdom of modern science and ancient craftsmen. How could you have seen such an instrument before? ==)
"Go check for that medicine," Li Xiaoyuan said, "If Li Yuan's injury can be cured with that medicine, I must get it."
The doctor understood what Li Xiaoyuan meant. If the emperor's incurable wound could be cured, then the medicine would be a life-saving medicine for the soldiers in the army.
"You all saw how Yu Linglong sutured the wound," Li Xiaoyuan said. "If you don't know how to do it, just practice according to her method."
"I obey your order," the doctor said.
Jing Mo sat with Queen Jing in front of Li Yuan's bed. Queen Jing only left two trusted maids behind and sent away all the other palace maids.
Jing Mo saw that there was no blood seeping out of the white gauze wrapped around Li Yuan's wound, and said to Queen Jing: "Don't worry, aunt, Princess Linglong won't lie. If she says that Your Highness is fine, then Your Highness will definitely be fine."
Queen Jing looked at her unconscious son, shook her head, and said with tears in her eyes, "Mo'er, aunt regrets it now."
What are you regretting? Shouldn't you have brought Li Yuan to fight for the throne of Suzaku? Jing Mo sighed softly and said, "Aunt, you were born in the royal family. There are some things you can't escape."
"But I don't have this ability," Queen Jing said, "Now I understand."
Jing Mo asked: "Aunt, what have you figured out?"
Queen Jing placed her hand on Li Yuan and whispered, "As long as Yuan'er is alive, I won't ask for anything else."
"Which assassin do you suspect?" Jing Mo said.
Queen Jing raised her eyes and looked at Jing Mo.
Jing Mo whispered, "Even if we don't fight, Aunt and His Highness have to find a way to survive. If this murderer ascends to the throne in the future, what will Aunt and His Highness do?"
Queen Jing said, "Li Hao was kidnapped."
When Queen Jing mentioned Li Hao, Jing Mo asked, "Aunt suspects Concubine Long and the Emperor?"
"These two mothers harmed Concubine Jiang and Li Luo," Queen Jing shook her head and said, "I defended left and right, but the Yuan people were still harmed."
"Are you sure it's Concubine Long?" Jing Mo asked.
"It's not impossible that there are other women," Queen Jing said, "but Concubine Long's mother is the most suspicious."
"Then Li Hao's kidnapping, could it be a self-torture trick by their mother?" Jing Mo said, "In order to clear herself of suspicion, can she still put the blame on other emperors?"
Queen Jing gritted her teeth.
Jing Mo looked at his aunt and said, "Aunt, if you want revenge, I can help you."
"Okay," Queen Jing said, "Find Li Hao for me and kill him."
Jing Mo said, "Aunt, have you made up your mind?"
"My son cannot be the emperor, but he is still alive," Queen Jing murmured, "She wants her son to be the emperor and to be on the same level as me. I will leave this woman without support."
Queen Jing's face was covered with tears, but her expression was calm. Jing Mo smiled and said, "Then let the news spread. By then, even if I can't kill Li Hao, the other concubines and the emperor will do it."
Queen Jing nodded.
"Aunt," Jing Mo sat closer to Queen Jing and whispered, "His Highness still needs your care, so you must take care of yourself."
Queen Jing was silent for a while, and suddenly asked Jing Mo: "Will Yu Linglong deliberately lied to us that Yuan'er was injured in a vital part and there is no hope of recovery in this life for the sake of her aunt and the Seventh Emperor?"
Jing Mo said: "Aunt, if the princess wanted to save His Highness for the sake of Concubine Yu, why would she bother?"
Jing Mo's words made Queen Jing lose her last bit of hope.
"Aunt is the queen after all," Jing Mo said, "As long as the emperor who ascends the throne in the future is kind-hearted and respects you, the legitimate mother, then you and His Highness will not have a hard time."
Queen Jing glanced at Jing Mo. This nephew was trying to persuade her to choose someone else and help him become the emperor. "Seventh Prince?" Queen Jing asked Jing Mo tentatively.
Jing Mo smiled and whispered, "Aunt, let's first think about how to prevent Mother Long Fei from succeeding."
While Empress Jing and Jing Mo were discussing secretly beside Li Yuan's sickbed, Concubine Yu was sitting in her Xiangrui Palace and asked the nanny standing in front of her: "Why haven't the princess and her husband come yet?"
The maid looked a little bewildered and whispered, "My lady, the princess and her husband have left the palace."
"What?" Concubine Yu was about to stand up subconsciously.
The nanny bowed and stopped Concubine Yu, saying, "Your Highness, something has happened to the eldest prince now, and there are many things going on in the palace. This must be why the princess and her husband are not coming to see you for the time being."
Imperial Concubine Yu sat and thought for a while, then said to the maid, "Go to the Empress and ask for a token to leave the palace. Then go to Linglong and tell her that I miss her."
The Gong Ma Ma hurriedly said, "I will go right away."
"I just don't know if my niece misses me," Concubine Yu sighed.
The nanny said, "Madam, the emperor must have given instructions to the princess and her husband. What are you worried about?"
Concubine Yu waved at the nanny.
The nanny bowed and retreated.
Imperial Concubine Yu sat in the dimly lit palace, staring at the ground below her feet in a trance. This niece was able to defeat Zhao Qiu Ming and Concubine Zhao after the death of Queen Jiang. It was easy to imagine how powerful this niece was. "Yu Linglong," Imperial Concubine Yu read this name. What would this niece bring to her? Would she be the ultimate phoenix that would come to the world?
Yu Xiaoxiao was standing downstairs of the Da Si Hai Restaurant at this time. Looking at the restaurant which was already packed with guests before dinner time, she said to Gu Xinglang, "Xiao Gu, I feel that the meal in this kind of restaurant must be very expensive."
