"However, the most urgent matter is that I am very worried about the emperor's health. I heard that when the emperor was in good health, it was my eldest brother who often visited our father and served him most diligently. I believe he understands the emperor's health best, and the palace should also have the emperor's medicine."
Chu Li slowly said:
"Why don't you go back and ask the eldest prince's wife if she really has a relevant prescription so that you can give it to me as soon as possible."
Wen Ya's expression changed.
This is a meritorious act, how can I tell this to the Crown Prince's wife?
If the emperor's health improves, such a great function can only be obtained by her.
Her eyes turned slightly, and she said, "Yes, I will go back to the palace and ask the eldest prince's wife."
When he retreated, he laughed secretly in his heart:
Oh!
This kind of thing must be done secretly.
She can come alone!
Gou Ba escorted Wen Ya out of Zhaolan Palace, and soon turned back, "Master, shall I help you to Yangxin Palace?"
"No need."
Chu Li stood up and said, "Go to my mother now and tell me a few words..."
Gou Ba leaned over and wrote down carefully:
"I will do it right away."
Chu Li went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation alone. He had walked this road countless times over the past decade. He was familiar with every brick and tile there. But today, he felt different.
"Your Highness."
Everyone inside and outside the Yangxin Palace was extremely respectful:
"Your Highness."
Chu Li stepped onto the stairs, "Is father's condition getting better?"
The judge of Wei Yuan was ashamed and said: "I am incompetent. Please punish me."
"Mr. Wei, you are the head of the Imperial Hospital and have served in the court for most of your life. I believe in your medical skills. Please step down. I want to be alone with my father for a while."
"yes."
Everyone back out.
Chu Li pushed open the door, and a strong bitter smell of medicine hit him in the face. On the Arhat bed with bright yellow curtains, lying Emperor Chu was paralyzed all over. He could not move, could not speak, and only his eyes could move.
He saw her and became very excited:
"You... um... weird..."
His mouth was tilted, saliva was spurting out, and he had no control over his expression.
Chu Li walked to the dragon bed, unable to tell what he was feeling.
Look at him.
The most noble and powerful man in the Great Chu is now paralyzed in bed, unable to take care of himself. Except for his eyes, which can still move, he is no different from dead.
"Is living a carefree life in your old age the life your father wants?"
“You! Tsk…tsk…”
The King of Chu twisted his mouth, drooled, and the anger in his eyes was so intense that he could no longer hide it.
But now he is a tiger with his claws plucked out and poses no threat at all.
Chu Li was slightly surprised:
"You don't like it?"
"But you gave such an honorable life to your uncle, why don't you like it yourself? If you don't even want the king's gift, is it still a gift?"
“Ah! You—”
The King of Chu was trembling all over.
She did it!
It’s indeed her!
His arms were shaking with anger, his ten fingers were out of control, and he couldn't even hold on to the sheets.
Chu Li paced a few steps, "Father, please don't blame me. I did this for the sake of the overall situation. I don't favor anyone in my heart."
"You are the ruler of a country, and the regent is also in charge of Southern Xinjiang. He plays an indispensable role in the battlefield and the people of Southern Xinjiang. If he dies or becomes disabled, it will harm the interests of Da Chu and the people. I cannot watch the war in Southern Xinjiang, and I don't want to see the turmoil caused by the transfer of power."
Her original intention was for the Great Chu.
For the people of Da Chu.
Disputes among those in power will only implicate innocent people below, and the most innocent are ordinary people.
Don't blame her for being cruel.
Chu Li paced in front of the bed and said, "Father, I know you hate me, but this poison came from your hands. If you had shown any compassion for the Regent when you took action, you wouldn't have ended up like this."
Even the Imperial Medical Bureau couldn't cure him, so one can imagine how eager he was to cripple the Regent.
He wanted to harm the regent, but he was actually digging his own grave.
"I will follow your wishes and take good care of you for the rest of your life. You will be there for your whole life, except that you can't move. You will have everything you need, just like before."
“You! You!”
The King of Chu's eyes widened with anger, almost popping out of their sockets, "You——"
Chu Li looked at him, and his heart felt calm as if he had seen many things.
Seeing him furious, he was helpless.
Looking at him filled with rage, the outcome was already decided.
Life is only a few decades long, with ups and downs, and eventually it will return to dust, but she has learned a lesson:
"My grandmother taught me that for the sake of Great Chu, sacrificing you alone is not considered a sacrifice."
"It's not really an injustice to you alone."
The King of Chu was so angry that his whole body was shaking and he almost passed out. However, his paralyzed body was the only part that was clear-headed, so he was forced to accept everything.
Can't live, and can't die.
This feeling is worse than death!
Squeak——
The door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
"Didn't I tell you that no one can come in without my order?"
"Xiaojiu."
Chu Li turned his head and looked, "Uncle?"
In broad daylight, he walked around the palace so openly and freely.
Does he want to live anymore?
"What are you doing here?" Chu Li walked over. "Don't forget, you are now ordered to fight in southern Xinjiang, but you suddenly appeared in the palace. If someone finds a handle to criticize you, I will not protect you."
Chu Di smiled slowly:
"Worried about the Emperor's uncle?"
"Who's worried about you... Ugh!"
The man raised his hands, grasped her waist, and pressed her into his arms, "I am under the order of the new emperor to rush back to the capital. Is this reason enough?"
Chu Li never issued such an order.
But whatever he says is what it is.
She only has an imperial edict of succession in her hand, but she is not the real person in power in the Great Chu.
Chu Dichi glanced at the Emperor Chu on the dragon couch and raised his thin lips: "Xiao Jiu still cares about me."
The King of Chu was stunned.
ah!
These two people are in collusion with each other!
He's going to kill them!
He would sentence them to death, chop off their heads, and hang them on the city walls for ten years!
Chu Li pursed her lips.
She just made a wise choice.
Choosing the King of Chu and paralyzing the Queen Regent, the nine princes will compete for the throne, which is bound to involve a bloody storm. In the end, no matter who ascends the throne, it will be difficult for her and the Wen family to have a good ending.
In that case, we might as well elect a regent.
After all, human nature is selfish, and she did this for herself.
"Xiaojiu." He pressed his forehead against hers, leaning against her gently, his toes against hers, and moving forward step by step.
"Look at your father, he's almost mad. Being so angry is not good for recuperation. Didn't you tell him about our relationship?"
Bang——
Chu Li's back hit the table.
The King of Chu's eyes widened and his whole body trembled. The more excited he became, the more his saliva flowed like a faucet.
What's the relationship?
What is their relationship?
They are in cahoots with each other, is there more to it?
