Chapter 377
…
Ou Yueji's words about announcing the treatment method sounded nice, but in fact, he just didn't want this method of treating terminal illnesses to be exclusive to the old clan. Otherwise, if Huo Qi alone had the method of treating gene collapse disease, a large number of forces would definitely come over to him, and his power would be further expanded.
The expansion of the Second Prince's power means that the old clan will grow stronger again. In recent years, the new clan has suppressed the old clan and has already shown a tendency to become the only one in power. If the old clan makes a comeback this time... this is definitely the situation that the new clan nobles and their subordinates are most reluctant to see.
As soon as Ou Yueji finished speaking, a minister from the old clan stood up to refute him. The ministers had a heated debate, and in the end the music and dance came to a halt.
His Majesty the Emperor, who was sitting in the center of the main seat on the high platform, looked at the ministers quarreling below and his face turned completely black.
"Bang!" The wine glass slammed down onto the table with a resounding thud. The Emperor was furious, and the noisy ministers below immediately fell silent and bowed.
"Why aren't you arguing anymore?! Those who don't know would think the royal banquet has turned into a rural vegetable market, and my subjects are all those swearing scoundrels!"
At these words, the courtiers fell silent. From the high platform, the Emperor gazed at his subjects with a face filled with anger. The young Eighth Prince, unable to adapt to the sudden change, lowered his head and dared not speak. The Third Prince, Huo Lie, stood straight with a serious expression. And Huo Qi, the person involved in the dispute, continued to drink with a calm and unconcerned attitude, as if nothing below concerned him.
"Your Majesty, calm down! Your Majesty, finding a cure for Genetic Collapse is no small matter. It's a matter of great importance to our country, and indeed to all of humanity. Your Majesty, if today's dispute isn't resolved, it will inevitably lead to further disputes in the future. Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible."
The speaker was Zhao Yizhu. As a long-established noble family, the Zhao family naturally belonged to the old clan. The Zhao family had produced people with light-type talents throughout their generations, and the family had also been dedicated to researching treatments for gene collapse syndrome, the number of patients with which continued to rise each year.
What Zhao Yizhu said at this moment was not based on much political considerations, but was more from the perspective of a light therapist. He did not want the treatment of gene collapse disease, which had finally appeared, to be more torturous and difficult.
After hearing what Zhao Yizhu said, the emperor's anger subsided a little.
"Ahem!" His Majesty the Emperor calmed down a bit and couldn't help coughing. He held it in and looked at Huo Qi and said:
"Since Master Zhao has said so, Qi'er, tell us what you think about this matter today. Otherwise, if you look at the group of people below fighting like black chickens, I can't stand it if they keep arguing like this for a few more days."
As His Majesty the Emperor spoke, he looked at the ministers below with a blaming look. They had no sympathy for him as the emperor. All they did was quarrel and cause trouble for him all day long!!!
The ministers below bent their backs even further downward.
"Father, Master Zhao, and everyone here, today's dinner is to celebrate my recovery. Such matters of state shouldn't be discussed in such a joyous setting... However, since you all are so dedicated to your duties and so concerned about the country and its people, I can't be angry about having my celebration interrupted."
After Huo Qi said this, the atmosphere at the scene became even weirder. His Majesty the Emperor looked at his second son with a face full of guilt.
Huo Qi didn't even look at his father. He took a sip of wine and continued, "Speaking of which, my recovery was all due to participating in an experiment. The experiment lasted five years, and it was only a few days ago that I was confirmed to be healthy again."
