Chapter 589 The Awakened Little Prince (1 update)
Dean Jiang is very confident in his medical skills. The Jiang family has been practicing medicine for generations, and he has spent his entire life on medicine. He is very confident in himself when it comes to diagnosing illnesses.
Before, the little prince pretended to be sick on purpose, and even used the small pills from the Divine Doctor Valley. He vomited blood so realistically that the entire Imperial Hospital was fooled by him. They all thought that he was weak and needed to be nursed back to health. Only he could immediately diagnose that the prince was fine and was just faking illness.
In terms of medical skills, if he was second in the entire Imperial Hospital, no one would dare to claim to be the first.
It was because of this confidence that he couldn't stand the result that the little prince would not live long.
He felt as if he had received a huge blow.
However, he never expected that after just a few months of not seeing him, the little prince's tricks of pretending to be sick had been upgraded.
Yes, it has been upgraded.
Before, the prince relied on his acting skills to pretend to be sick, and often needed some external help, such as small pills that can safely vomit blood.
But now, with the little prince's hard work and practice, his internal strength has improved greatly. He also specifically asked Shen Yi how to change his own pulse without letting the doctor notice.
Who is Shen Yi?
The genius of the Divine Doctor Valley.
If there is anyone who knows doctors best, it is naturally the doctors.
Therefore, with Shen Yi's help, oh no, it should be said that he is enthusiastically helping, the little prince has mastered the method of controlling his body's pulse and not letting the doctor find out.
It's just that today is the first experiment, and there is no experience, which leads to excessive control and scares Jiang Yuanzheng.
After Lu Chengtian left, the little prince poured tea and water, apologized, and explained the tricks again, without hiding anything. Only then did Jiang Yuanzheng's face look a little better.
"My Lord Yuanzheng, this matter has a bad side, and there is also a good side. You can't always see the bad side, right?"
The little prince finished a bag of spicy strips and said with a smile. He was completely different from the dying look just now lying on the bed.
Jiang Yuanzheng snorted coldly, "Where is the good side? Forgive my old eyes, I didn't see it at all."
The little prince took out a handkerchief, carefully wiped his paws stained with chili oil, and then said with a smile, "Of course it's the promise of my father!"
"Think about it, in a month or two, you will be the Duke! The Jiang family will also become the new nobles in the court. Others may not be able to get the title of Duke after struggling for a lifetime, but you, Lord Yuanzheng, did it!"
"So, among the civil and military officials in the court, there are not many who can have the ability of Lord Yuanzheng!"
Jiang Yuanzheng shook his beard, and then he remembered that there was still the matter of conferring the title of Duke.
To be honest, before that, his mind was full of how to treat the prince, and he didn't pay attention to the emperor's promise at all.
If the prince hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have thought about it at all!
Looking at the little rascal with sparkling eyes, Jiang Yuanzheng sighed helplessly, "Your Highness, the emperor even gave up the Dukedom for you, he must have your Highness in his heart!"
The little prince snorted. He is now a 14-year-old man, not the 11 or 12-year-old prince who can be happy for a long time with a look of approval and a mild compliment.
He is now the calm and rational prince!
Not only will he not be fooled by the sugar-coated bullets in front of him, he will also pour cold water on others and let them not think too much.
"My Lord Yuanzheng, things are not that simple. The reason why my father gave me a duke as a reward is because the court now needs stability, and my position as the crown prince is vital."
The little prince looked as if he had seen through Lu Chengtian a long time ago. "Yuanzheng, you deal with medicinal materials all day long, and you may not be very clear about the affairs of the court. In short, nowadays, stability is more important than anything else for my father."
"Once something happens to me, the crown prince, and the position of the crown prince is vacant, there must be a prince to take the throne. My brothers are all very outstanding, each of them is talented and capable. They all have the talent, virtue, and integrity of a crown prince. Since anyone can do it, why can't it be me?"
"My brother Wu Wei, either on his own initiative or because of the influence of those ministers, had to be involved in the fight for the throne."
"By then, the court will be in chaos, and the factional struggles will only become more intense. The ministers in the court will attack each other, and no one will care about the government or the government orders. They will only care about whether the prince they support can eventually become the crown prince and succeed to the throne."
The little prince had seen through everything a long time ago, "Such a situation will plunge the entire Daliang into internal and external troubles, which is what father absolutely does not want to see."
"Therefore, my existence is the stabilizer that maintains the stability and harmony of Daliang's government. That's why father was so panicked when he heard that I might die of illness! That's why he gave me such a high title of Duke!"
The little prince stood up and walked to the side of Jiang Yuanzheng, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "So, Lord Yuanzheng, father's most fundamental goal is to stabilize the court, not to value me, care about me, or feel sorry for me."
"I have already seen it clearly. You can't be so foolish and self-indulgent. If I were so naive as Lord Yuanzheng, I might have been crushed by disappointment and despair and died."
Jiang Yuanzheng: "..."
He has lived for so many years and received many evaluations, but no one has ever said that he is naive!
He frowned slightly, "Your Highness, do you really think so?"
The little prince nodded decisively, full of confidence, "Of course! This is the experience I have summed up in the past ten years!"
Jiang Yuanzheng: Okay.
Maybe he, as a bystander, really can't see it as clearly as His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, who is in the game.
"So don't be angry. I didn't mean it. It's just that the emperor is too annoying. I'm only fourteen years old, still a child! The emperor asked me to work! How could he do that?"
The little prince immediately accused Lu Chengtian of his evil deeds. He treated Jiang Yuanzheng as a close elder and didn't shy away from him at all.
Jiang Yuanzheng had long regarded the little prince whose mother died young as his own grandson. Otherwise, he would not have given up everything and risked staying in the East Palace.
"Your Majesty is really going too far. Your Highness is still growing up, how can you work so hard?"
"That's right, that's right. Are all those ministers in the court just here to eat and do nothing? Everyone pays them so much salary, but instead of letting them do the work, you let me do it? I think my father must have some kind of brain disease!"
The little prince got support, and he couldn't stop complaining.
There was no other way. Although all the people in the East Palace were his people and he had cleared all the troublemakers in the palace, they still didn't dare to complain about the emperor with him.
Now that he finally met someone who dared to speak out, he would naturally not let him go.
It's still Lord Yuanzheng!
