It was another day of court meeting, and Emperor Jing sat high on the dragon throne.
Looking from top to bottom, all the ministers discussed various issues in an orderly manner.
Emperor Jing listened quietly, looking down calmly.
Why do I always feel something is wrong in today's meeting...
After taking a closer look, he suddenly saw something. Emperor Jing interrupted the minister who was speaking and asked, "Where is Fang Zhengyi? Why can't I see Fang Zhengyi today?"
The officials began to show signs of agitation, and those at the back stretched their heads forward to try to find Fang Zhengyi's trace.
The people in the front row only then discovered that Fang Zhengyi's seat was empty.
Didn’t come!
Guo Tianyang whispered, "Your Majesty, Master Fang is not here?"
"Not here?" Emperor Jing was stunned for a moment, "Why didn't anyone tell me when Fang Zheng was gone?"
Fang Zhengyi basically kept silent during the court sessions in the past few months. He just sat there pretending to be invisible, so not many people noticed that he was absent at first glance.
A voice came from among the officials: "Your Majesty, didn't Lord Fang ask for leave?"
"Take leave? I have never heard of it." Emperor Jing's face gradually became serious.
He didn't come to the court meeting. Could it be that something unexpected happened to his body?
"Guo Banban, send someone to the princess's mansion to ask if Zhengyi is okay. If he is unwell, send two imperial doctors over."
Guo Tianyang responded in a low voice and was about to walk out from the side.
Suddenly, a figure came from outside the palace, crying and shouting: "Your Majesty! This servant has something to report, this servant has something big to report!!"
Emperor Jing was startled and asked, "Who is it? Let him in!"
The next moment, Liu Jin appeared in the court, and he immediately knelt down in the center, trembling all over.
Emperor Jing's eyes fixed.
Liu Jin, isn’t this the prince’s companion?
"What happened? Report it immediately."
"Yes... yes." Liu Jin was in a state of despair at the moment, completely panicked, and cried with tears streaming down his face, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is dying!! He is now at Dongjiao University."
All the officials were struck by lightning. Emperor Jing suddenly stood up, his eyes wide open, and almost shouted: "What did you say? Say it again!"
"Your servant... Your servant..." Liu Jin couldn't stop her tears from flowing down, and she said with difficulty in breathing, "The prince is in Dongjiao University, he has suddenly become seriously ill and is dying... I just heard from the people at Dongjiao University that you should quickly send an imperial physician to His Highness..."
When he said this, Liu Jin choked up and felt a pang of pain in his heart.
He had watched the prince since he was a child and had a deep affection for him. He saw him fine yesterday, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly become ill today.
And the people from Dongjiao University said that he was almost dead.
He didn't even dare to tell the truth and could only speak lightly.
His Highness died and has not yet ascended the throne... What will he do in the future...
The blood drained from Emperor Jing's face, his mind went blank, and he collapsed onto the dragon throne.
Dead...son dead?
How is this possible? He was still full of energy when we met a few days ago, how come he is so...
Time suddenly began to freeze before his eyes, and scenes from the past with the prince began to emerge in his mind.
Faced with this shocking news, all the officials were completely panicked, looking as if they had lost their parents.
Everything happened in a flash. When Emperor Jing came to his senses, he immediately roared, "Call the imperial physician, and follow me to Dongjiao University!"
......
Dongjiao University Railway Station, inside the train.
Fang Zhengyi and Li Yuanzhao, the two instigators, transformed themselves into flight attendants and were still carefully checking the details of various equipment.
After confirming that everything was correct, the two came to the VIP carriage that had been set up for Emperor Jing in advance.
At the same time, he slumped down on the luxurious leather sofa. Li Yuanzhao said proudly, "Old Fang, just wait and see. Father and the officials will surely come to attack us soon. What do you think of my plan?"
"Your Highness has a great plan. First, he used a trick to deceive the world and force me into the trap. Then, he used a trick of inflicting pain on all the officials. I am really amazed by it." Fang Zheng clapped his hands in praise.
"Hide the truth from the world? When the hell did I lie to you? So I am the only one responsible for all these things... Wait, what do you mean by the strategy of inflicting pain on oneself?" Li Yuanzhao's face suddenly changed, realizing that something was wrong.
"Literally." Fang Zheng's expression gradually became meaningful, and then he took out something like a small cushion from behind him.
"I had this hip protector custom-made yesterday. Just use it as is."
Li Yuanzhao's legs were shaking, and he said in fear, "No way, my father hasn't beaten me in years. I'm already this old, why would he beat me again?"
"You haven't done anything so dangerous in the past few years. Your Highness, please take care of yourself. This incident will surely become a good story in future generations." Fang Zhengyi said indifferently.
Li Yuanzhao was in a daze and his buttocks began to ache slightly.
Then he jumped up from the sofa, grabbed Fang Zhengyi by the collar, and said angrily: "Why didn't you remind me earlier that you were an accomplice? Now you have cleared yourself of all charges? If something happens, neither of us can escape!"
What a beast... so inhumane, he's dragging me down with him even after he's dead.
Fang Zhengyi clapped his hands helplessly and said, "Listen to my arrangements today and follow the procedures. If you satisfy His Majesty, you won't be beaten. Think about it, you also contributed to the success of the train. I'm here to help you take credit."
Li Yuanzhao let go of his hand in dismay: "You are really nice."
The two of them rested for a while, and suddenly someone broke into the VIP compartment and said breathlessly: "Your Highness, His Majesty Lord Fang is bringing people here."
Fang Zhengyi perked up, pressed Li Yuanzhao's shoulder and said, "Don't move around here, wait until I trick everyone else into getting in the car."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the car.
