Prince Hui's Palace.
Not long after Ye You and Xie Shu met, someone came from the palace.
The person who came was the old emperor's personal eunuch, Eunuch Wang.
Prince Hui changed his sarcastic attitude when facing Xie Shu, and took the initiative to greet Chu Dong, speaking very politely.
"Eunuch Wang has come in person, but my father has finally agreed to summon me?" Prince Hui's eyes were full of anticipation.
Eunuch Wang smiled and said, "His Majesty learned that His Royal Highness Prince Hui was unwell, so he ordered this old servant to bring some medicine."
Prince Hui was so moved that he actually burst into tears on the spot. He knelt down and kowtowed three times in the direction of the imperial city. Only then did he stand up, panting, with the help of the princess.
"It is really unfilial of me as a son to make the emperor worry." Prince Hui wiped his tears and said, "I don't know where the medicine is. Let me drink it quickly."
Eunuch Wang nodded, and immediately a young eunuch presented the medicine.
I saw that the medicine soup was brown-red, the color looked very strange, and there was a fishy smell in the air.
Princess Hui almost frowned when she saw this, but she forced herself to suppress her nausea.
Prince Hui's expression remained unchanged. He took the medicine and poured it into his mouth. After it entered his mouth, his expression changed slightly. In an instant, he suppressed the distortion of his face and tried hard to swallow the medicine. Tears began to well up in his eyes again.
These tears were not squeezed out, but were caused by nausea.
"Teng... Teng..." Prince Hui covered his mouth and uttered a few words, "This medicine is poisonous. I just feel relaxed all over my body. My illness is about to get worse."
Princess Hui thought to herself, Your Majesty, hasn’t your illness been cured by that Doctor Ye?
Eunuch Wang smiled, took a step forward, and whispered, "This old servant has come with your Majesty's secret order. Your Highness does not need to make it public."
As he spoke, he handed a scroll of imperial edict to Prince Hui with both hands.
Prince Hui took it quickly, looking both nervous and excited.
After completing his mission, Eunuch Wang was about to return to the palace to report, but Prince Hui stopped him.
Prince Hui first stuffed a few silver bills into the eunuch's pocket and said with a smile, "I know that my father has been obsessed with worldly affairs these years. I just found Tai Sui in my mansion. It is said that eating Tai Sui can prolong one's life."
"Please, Eunuch Wang, present this treasure to my father."
As Prince Hui spoke, someone brought tribute.
The Tai Sui was as big as a wheel and was placed in a jade box made of cold jade. It was white all over. When the lid of the jade box was opened, a strange fragrance wafted to the face.
Prince Hui felt pained when he looked at Tai Sui, but thinking that it was worth it if he could please the old emperor.
Eunuch Wang was also surprised and said to Prince Hui:
"Your Majesty's filial piety is so touching that Heaven has bestowed upon him such a treasure. Your Majesty, rest assured, I will hand it over to Your Majesty."
As he spoke, he lowered his voice again: "Your Highness's filial piety will not be in vain."
Prince Hui was very excited.
After Eunuch Wang brought Tai Sui Xian, he hurried into the study with the imperial edict. There were only him and his princess in the study.
He could not wait to open the imperial edict. After reading it quickly, he was afraid that he was hallucinating. He read it word by word several times over and over again. His body was unsteady and he sat down on the chair.
Princess Hui was slightly surprised when she saw this: "Your Majesty? What did His Majesty write in the imperial edict?"
Prince Hui's lips moved, and the next moment, he burst into laughter. As he laughed, he started coughing, but was choked by his own saliva.
This choking was so severe that he almost choked and passed out.
Princess Hui quickly patted him on the back and poured him some tea.
Prince Hui was so angry that he choked when he tried to drink tea, and started coughing until tears and snot came out.
Princess Hui was terrified and wanted to call a doctor. She was even more anxious:
"What happened? Your Majesty, please don't scare me. Is our Huiwang Mansion about to be in great trouble?"
He was choked by his own saliva and then by the tea. How unlucky!
Prince Hui Tu finally got over his anger, and glared at her when he heard it: "Ignorant woman! What nonsense are you talking about? My luck is about to change!" After saying that, Prince Hui couldn't hide the joy in his eyes and eyebrows, and handed the imperial edict to Tu.
Princess Hui was stunned. She took the imperial edict reverently. After unfolding it and taking a closer look, she took a breath of cold air.
"Your Majesty..."
Prince Hui couldn't control his joy on his chubby face: "Why call me Your Highness? Soon I will be the Crown Prince! You will be the legitimate Crown Princess of Dayong! Hahahaha!"
The general meaning of the secret decree was: The crown prince is not worthy of his position, he forms cliques and engages in selfish activities, and is unlikely to become a capable person. The old emperor intends to depose the crown prince and appoint a successor, and intends to let Prince Hui succeed to the throne of crown prince.
Princess Hui's heart was also pounding. When His Majesty issued an order to summon Prince Hui to the capital, she and her husband had guessed his intention.
But when the old emperor personally ordered the matter, she had a feeling it was unreal.
But Princess Hui woke up faster than Prince Hui, and there was another thing mentioned in the secret decree.
"What is the test mentioned in your majesty's secret decree? Why must I pass this test to become the crown prince?"
Princess Hui was puzzled.
Prince Hui also calmed down and thought: "Perhaps it is a test of civil and military achievements? There is no war at the border now, and there has only been a locust plague in Nanling recently, but this matter has been handed over to Prince Yan."
"As for the bandit problem, there were some, but General Huo also suppressed them. As for other things... I haven't heard of any major incidents."
"Anyway, the Holy Heart is with me now. Even if this test requires me to go through fire and water, I will definitely accomplish it! The position of the future crown prince must belong to me."
Princess Hui always felt that something was strange, but she didn't want to spoil the fun, so she congratulated Prince Hui repeatedly.
Prince Hui bit his tongue while laughing. He cried out "ouch", covered his mouth, looked down and saw blood on his hands.
He actually bit his tongue until it bled just now.
Xixi should be happy to receive the secret order, but the continuous "bad luck" also makes Prince Hui feel a little unhappy. Could it be that happiness turns to sorrow?
"Keep a low profile, you still have to keep a low profile!"
As Prince Hui was speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach. He hissed and covered his stomach, "Hurry, hurry, hurry, I need to go to the bathroom... Ah, why is my stomach aching so suddenly?"
Princess Hui also felt something was wrong. She opened the door and hurriedly asked the servants to come in and serve her. Then she felt a gust of wind blowing from behind her, and Prince Hui ran out, holding his buttocks and squeezing his legs together.
“I can’t hold it anymore! I can’t hold it anymore—”
Puff~Puff puff~~~
A sound of soup and water splashing was heard at an inopportune moment. Princess Hui was shocked at first, and then she couldn't hold back her nausea any more, so she covered her mouth and vomited.
Prince Hui's face turned green.
He is a prince, but he pulled down his crotch in front of everyone!
What is this?
…
At that time, in the imperial palace, there was the Tianshou Hall.
Eunuch Wang Gongyu reported to the old emperor outside the palace. When he heard that Prince Hui had offered Tai Sui as an offering, the old emperor, who had rarely shown interest, had the palace door opened and Tai Sui brought in.
Eunuch Wang nodded in agreement, lowered his head and sent Tai Sui into the room, then walked out, not daring to look up the whole time.
Inside the palace.
The old emperor walked to the cold jade box, looked at the Tai Sui meat in the box, and smiled: "It really is Tai Sui. The fourth brother is quite lucky."
It's a pity that even if Tai Sui eats it, his life span can only be increased by one or two years at most. Only by becoming a true witch can one live forever.
Thinking of this, a hint of jealousy flashed in the old emperor's eyes.
As the inheritor of the Holy King's blood, his aptitude is not as good as Xiao Chenyan's special vessel of the Holy King, and even his son is blocked.
Now even the fourth son has been chosen to become Lord Wu Peng's assistant in the human world. In the future even he will have to rely on him. It is inevitable that the old emperor will feel a little jealous.
This time, Lord Wu Peng also agreed. As long as he succeeded in descending, he would be given more blood of the Holy King, and he would definitely become a real witch.
Although the Tai Sui meat is useless now, it would be a pity to throw it away.
The old emperor cut off a piece of Tai Sui meat with a silver knife and put it into his mouth to chew carefully. Then he walked slowly into the altar in the hall. He looked at a wooden figurine placed next to the altar and said:
"Lord Wu Peng is coming soon, you should bring your sister here quickly."
