Emperor Yuming closed his eyes briefly, then suddenly covered his mouth and coughed twice.
"Father!" Prince Ye stepped forward to support him: "Take care of your health."
Emperor Yuming nodded slowly, his voice somewhat hoarse: "I understand. You may leave now."
Seeing that Prince Ye had left, the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince also departed one by one without saying a word. In an instant, only Emperor Yuming and a few attendants remained in the hall.
"All of you, leave." Wuchang waved his whisk, then bowed to Emperor Yuming: "This servant takes his leave."
Emperor Yuming seemed to smile, yet also seemed not to: "You have always understood my thoughts best."
Wuchang withdrew from the hall with a sigh.
...
Behind the artificial hill in the Imperial Garden, someone was dressed in a golden python robe, with his hands behind his back, exuding an unmistakable royal aura.
"Can you guarantee that there is no cure?" he asked in a low, heavy voice.
Physician Liu bowed behind him and said, "Your Highness, I have been practicing medicine for many years and have been in the Imperial Medical Academy for several years. Your Highness can rest assured that even if Hua Tuo were alive, he would be powerless to save the patient after I inserted those needles."
Upon hearing this, a hint of joy appeared in Prince Ye's usually deep and unfathomable eyes. Prince Xu's madness would certainly reduce some of the obstacles for him.
You can't blame him for that; after all, they're his own brothers, and he just wanted to visit them today.
Prince Xu's act of running into the pillar was not what he expected. He chose to prove his innocence by dying, but he failed to die and ended up in such a foolish state. It is clear that his second brother was even more stupid than he thought.
In the end, he didn't do anything to Prince Xu. He just asked Physician Liu to "treat" him properly so that he could be immersed in joy forever and no longer be bothered by the complexities of the world.
As the older brother, he has done his utmost.
Thinking of this, Prince Ye relaxed his brows and patted Physician Liu on the shoulder approvingly: "Physician Liu did a good job. I will put in a good word for you with my father later."
Upon hearing this, Physician Liu was delighted, and a hint of pleasure appeared on his aged face.
His days haven't been easy lately. It's all because when he went to the Niao Na Palace to inquire about his health last time, he forgot to wear his silk scarf, which led Consort Qin to accuse him of having ulterior motives, thus angering Emperor Yu Ming. As a result, he's been neglected, and the people below him have begun to disregard him.
At present, Prince Ye is highly valued by the emperor. If he could say a few good words for him, he might rise to prominence again.
Thinking of this, Physician Liu became somewhat excited, causing his already loose face to wrinkle even more. However, he didn't seem to care about this, and simply bowed deeply: "Thank you, Your Highness."
In the distance, a wild cat stepped on a dry branch and meowed a few times. Neither Prince Ye nor Physician Chen gave it much thought, lost in their own joy.
...
...
His Highness Prince Xu has gone completely mad.
In the teahouse, some people were spreading rumors that it was caused by Prince Ye. As soon as he said it, others refuted it.
“His Highness Prince Ye is wise and mighty, rescuing us from dire straits, yet you dare to frame him.”
"You ungrateful wretch! The Prince has done so many good things for us common people. You'll make him feel disheartened if you say such things!"
"Even His Majesty hasn't pursued this matter, yet you dare to pin the blame on the Prince? Are you out of your mind?!"
...
The man was quite embarrassed, but he still shut his mouth in embarrassment.
but……
"Your Majesty is not going to pursue this matter?" Qin Xi sat in the private room, looking at Lu Huai with a puzzled expression.
The latter nodded: "That's true, I suppose they don't want to talk about sad things anymore."
