"Madam, what I mean is..." Prince Yong paced back and forth and couldn't help but jump anxiously. He was really at a loss.
Princess Yong interrupted Prince Yong's unfinished words, nodded slightly, and arranged the follow-up. "I will take care of the family affairs, you can rest assured and do it."
There was nothing she didn't understand. All he was worried about was the safety of his family. She would naturally take care of his worries.
"If anything happens to me, my lady, you must stay alive and well, as if you are protecting them for me." Prince Yong held the hand of Princess Yong. He knew his first wife very well.
After Princess Yong nodded heavily, Prince Yong picked up his General Jin, walked out of the door happily, and then naturally got on the carriage at the door.
He knew that Rong Chen was waiting for him inside.
"Prince Yong is so righteous. Rong Chen thanks you on behalf of the people of the world." Amid the clucking of chickens, Rong Chen's voice was still clear.
Prince Yong waved his hand, nonchalantly teasing General Jin in his hand. Although his words were soft and gentle, they were meaningful. "Your Highness, please speak frankly. I only hope that Your Highness will become a wise ruler."
"What I've wanted all my life." Rong Chen suppressed the bitterness in his heart and said solemnly.
He didn't know what he wanted in his life, but every step he took forward was what he wanted in his life. At least he became a wise ruler. To a certain extent, he could protect the people and things he wanted to protect.
In the magnificent palace, the adults who came to the morning court could only whisper to each other. They had not seen the emperor for half a month and were extremely anxious, but there was nothing they could do.
"If you have something to report, please do so. If not, please dismiss the court. Your Majesty is not feeling well. I hope you will bear with me regarding the state affairs." The eunuch spoke in a shrill voice, raising the whisk in his hand.
"Eunuch, I dare to ask, what disease does His Majesty suffer from? Why haven't you seen him for half a month?" The speaker was the most upright Imperial Censor in the court, and he asked the question that everyone had in mind.
The eunuch raised his orchid finger and shouted sternly, "How dare you! How dare you make irresponsible remarks about His Majesty's affairs!"
Just as the eunuch's voice faded, the Second Prince's face was filled with indignation, and his tone was full of tragedy and solemnity, "No matter what happens today, I must see the Emperor, even if I am accused of disrespect. I only wish to see the Emperor in good health."
"The Second Prince is truly filial."
"Yes, I haven't seen Your Majesty for a long time. Could something have happened?"
...Among the noisy voices, there were discussions and praises. The second prince straightened his chest and sneered in his heart. Tomorrow he would no longer be the second prince, but the most honorable person in Dayong.
And in a palace in the harem, the emperor, who was cared about by everyone, was naked, playing a game of chasing with the new women who entered the palace.
His eye sockets were sunken and his steps were unsteady, showing the appearance of someone who had indulged in excessive sexual activities. However, he was always immersed in the women's sweet laughter, calling them "beauties" all the time.
Rong Chen followed the crowd forward. For the first time in the past few years, he walked into the palace with such light steps. It was either success or death, everything was going to be over.
But he was also curious about his good brother. Was he going to just kill everyone? Otherwise, how could he legitimately depose him as the crown prince? Or would he just pin the blame on him?
"ah……"
"ah……"
"ah……"
Rong Guangyi, who was originally enjoying himself, suddenly collapsed, bleeding from all seven orifices. Screams were heard, and the disheveled women fled in a hurry.
The Second Prince was pleased with himself for calculating the timing perfectly, but he didn't show it on his face. His expression was gloomy. "How dare you! How dare you in the palace? Come, take them away and beat them to death with clubs."
"Please spare us, my lords. We were so panicked that His Majesty..." The woman who was unfortunately caught by the second prince knelt down hurriedly, her voice trembling and her face pale.
The group of people who came didn't care about anything else and chased each other into the palace. Rong Guangyi, who was lying on the ground, was only breathing his last breath.
"Come, call the imperial physician, and also, have someone arrest those women. I want to see who harmed my father!" The second prince went in, supporting Rong Guangyi, and spoke first.
The few members of the prince's party all looked towards Rong Chen unconsciously, expecting him to come out and give orders. After all, if anything really happened to His Majesty, as the future crown prince, he should naturally have the final say.
Rong Chen seemed not to notice and just took a step back silently. Prince Yong reacted and knelt on the ground and cried, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? How can I live without you?"
"How can I walk around the capital with such confidence from now on? You better take good care of yourself..."
"Also, I want to take the princess to the palace to have some fun..."
The ministers sneered at Prince Yong's reckless words, but they didn't care at all at the moment. They were all thinking about their own masters and had no time to care about a lackey.
When the imperial doctors came over, Prince Yong's voice was hoarse from crying. He was a grown man, but his face was covered with snot and tears. Everyone thought he was really anxious.
The Second Prince, whose head ached from crying but couldn't vent his anger, finally found an excuse, "Your Highness, the imperial physician is here. Father will be fine."
"Of course, Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune, how could anything happen to you!" Prince Yong raised his sleeves to wipe his tears and said sincerely.
A dark light flashed in the Second Prince's eyes. "Prince Yong is truly devoted to my father. I'm sure my father wouldn't want to see the prince like this when he wakes up. Come, take the prince downstairs to freshen up."
Prince Yong nodded heavily and obediently followed the eunuch who led the way, not forgetting to look back at the emperor lying on the ground with reluctance.
The most senior imperial physician took the pulse first, his face showing embarrassment. The next moment, he knelt on the ground with his head bowed. "Your Majesty...this humble servant is powerless to help."
"I have already sent someone to invite the head of the Imperial Hospital and the miracle doctor. Everyone please be patient." This was the first sentence Rong Chen said after entering, his tone light.
The second prince nodded slightly, and a eunuch immediately walked out. When he came back in, he was followed by a girl.
Rong Guangyi, who couldn't even wake up, had been moved to the inner hall. Rong Chen, who personally carried him in and put him down, stood by the bed, staring at his father lying motionless on the bed, with mixed feelings.
When did this change begin? And why? He didn't know, and probably even his father didn't know.
"Your Highness, please save me, I..." The woman's voice was trembling, and the look she gave Rong Chen was not innocent.
