That concludes the discussion.
This turmoil has finally come to an end.
Inside the Zichen Hall, which is closest to the Golden Palace.
Several imperial physicians were busy treating the wounds of Mi Shan and Li Changyu, who were on two beds not far apart.
Li Changyu had already been bandaged up, but he still felt a pain that went deep into his bones.
He stared at the bed curtains hanging opposite him, his face dark and expressionless, exuding a chilling aura.
The Gu worm allowed him and Mi Shan to connect their senses.
They are now enduring double the knife wounds and double the pain.
It seems that Mi Shan couldn't bear the pain any longer and took the opportunity to injure her shoulder.
This woman is indeed not to be underestimated, as always.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Xu Ninghai's voice rang out from outside the hall.
Li Changyu pressed his injured shoulder with one hand and knelt on one knee, saying, "Greetings, Father Emperor."
Upon hearing this, Mi Shan quickly gathered her clothes, lifted the curtain, and prepared to come down to pay her respects.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects."
"You two don't need to stand on ceremony." Li Shengyuan quickly gestured for them to get up and personally helped Li Changyu up.
Mi Shan was left standing there, and couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.
I quickly figured it out.
The emperors of today are no longer the incompetent rulers who indulged in sensual pleasures and debauchery, so they no longer need to hypocritically care for their beloved concubines as before.
He pretended that he only had eyes for his favored concubine.
Now, he naturally puts himself first in everything.
"Your Highness, you were injured while saving me. Your profound sense of righteousness has truly moved me. Did Tongji's palm strike damage your heart meridian?"
Li Shengyuan helped the Crown Prince sit down on the bed, speaking with concern.
"Your Majesty," the imperial physician said at the opportune moment, "that palm strike used at least several decades of Tongji's skill. If it had hit the chest directly, the prince would have been either dead or crippled. Fortunately, the prince was only grazed by the shoulder. Thank goodness! Although his left shoulder bone was fractured, I believe that with proper care, the prince will be as healthy as before within a month."
Li Shengyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when he looked at the Crown Prince, his eyes were filled with a heavy expression.
"That's good, Changyu. I ask myself honestly, I haven't treated you very well in the past."
"But you have a pure and innocent heart towards me, and you have risked your life to save me time and time again."
"If I, your father, do not value you, I will feel guilty."
“Father, it is only right for your son to do all this. You need not feel guilty.”
Li Changyu lowered his head, his face was cold, and he spoke respectfully.
He always maintained this self-disciplined and courteous demeanor, acting uprightly and without impatience or anxiety.
Among his many sons, the Crown Prince was the most composed and hard-pressed to find fault with him.
He used to have an inexplicable fear of Li Changyu, feeling that the boy was terrifyingly cunning and had never been close to him, and had even spent three years in a place like Qi.
Although he was young at the time, Li Shengyuan always felt a little apprehensive.
Perhaps it's because seeing him reminds her of her incompetent self who had to exchange her own son for a position of power.
"My child, you have suffered. I will certainly give you an important position in the future. Right now, your eldest brother is ill, and the Sixth Prince is getting old. There is no one by my side who can truly help me."
“Only you…” Li Shengyuan sighed deeply, his eyes heavy, and slowly took out the tiger tally that had been split in two from his sleeve.
Li Changyu's eyes lit up, but on the surface he remained calm and indifferent as ever, though a very subtle, cold smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
