1198 Give way to the wise, Sun Sixing is the surgeon

The next morning, the Ninth Prince was ready to be reprimanded by the Emperor, but...

The emperor was more timid than the Ninth Prince had imagined. When the emperor woke up in the morning, he found that he had slept in a corpse all night and fainted on the spot out of fright.

The Emperor was ill, so he naturally could not attend the morning court. Prince Luo and Prince Zhou were very angry, but they had no place to vent because they were busy going to the palace to pay their respects and inquire for news.

What is the matter with the emperor's illness? Will he die? How long can he live?

It’s not that they are too worried about the emperor, but if the emperor dies at this time, the crown prince will succeed to the throne. The crown prince has not been deposed yet, and even the emperor cannot stop the crown prince from succeeding to the throne. The emperor cannot die at this time. If he dies... all their efforts will be in vain.

Although the prince has a heart disease, it would be easy for them to outlast him. But if the prince gave the throne to the Ninth Uncle or Ziqing, who would they cry to?

The calculating looks on Prince Luo and Prince Zhou's faces were laughable in the eyes of the Ninth Prince.

The heavenly family is heartless, and the love between father and son is just like this.

You want to depose the crown prince, right? Okay... I can use this incident to divert the emperor's attention.

The Ninth Prince had long ago told the Crown Prince to depose him, but because the Ninth Prince's life and death were unknown, the Crown Prince did nothing, but the matter was delayed. Now...

"Let the prince muddy the waters of the imperial city. The emperor is ill now. When he recovers and receives the prince's memorial, I'm afraid he won't have time to bother with me."

The crown prince is the future emperor, and his dethronement and enthronement are extremely important matters. Not only the emperor, Prince Luo and Prince Zhou are keeping a close eye on him, but all the civil and military officials in the court are also keeping a close eye on him.

The fact that the crown prince has requested to abdicate will surely cause chaos in the court for a long time.

After all, you can't just depose the crown prince without reinstating him. It's easy to depose the crown prince, but it's not so easy to reinstate him.

The Ninth Prince had made up his mind and would not allow the Crown Prince to refuse. This matter had to be put on the agenda. Once the situation in Dongling became chaotic, he could go to Beiling without distraction and take Feng Qingchen to look for that person. That person might be from the Fengli clan.

In the Jiangnan Villa, the prince was also troubled by this matter.

"Ziqing, do you think I should submit a memorial?" Regarding the affairs of Jiangnan, the prince only provided his identity, and most of the matters were handled by Dongling Ziqing. The prince was also used to listening to Dongling Ziqing's opinions.

"Brother Emperor, I have already reminded you that you should submit a memorial. You should not be attached to the position of Crown Prince." Dong Ling Ziqing took the time to answer the Crown Prince while feeding the lion he raised.

The prince was in a dilemma: "But I can't bear to do it. I spent so much effort to keep the position of crown prince, how can I be willing to give it away just like that?"

Dong Ling Ziqing picked up a piece of bloody meat and said unhappily: "Brother, you spent so much effort to cure your heart disease. If the heart disease recurs, will you be willing?"

The prince was speechless. Compared with his life, the position of prince seemed not important at all.

"Without the identity of the crown prince, can we defend Jiangnan?" After staying in Jiangnan for too long and living a comfortable life for too long, the crown prince did not want to return to the imperial city at all.

And they were able to take over Jiangnan because of their status as the crown prince and the soldiers in Dongling Ziqing's hands.

Political power comes from the barrel of a gun. This saying is applicable in any era.

"Let the emperor give Jiangnan to you and me as a fiefdom." If the six provinces of Jiangnan were only given to the prince, it would be a bit too much, but it would be just right to add him.

Anyway, he didn't have any fiefdom.

The prince nodded weakly, as if he had made a major decision. "Okay, I'll submit a memorial right away. But... the Ninth Prince's life and death is unknown, so is it the right time for me to submit a memorial now?"

wrong."

Well, the prince admitted that he wanted to delay it a little longer, maybe until his father died and he could ascend the throne smoothly. Anyway, he would not die early now.

"Brother Emperor, I have said that you only have to submit a memorial when the Ninth Prince has something to do. Don't forget that you don't have many available people in the capital. Without the Ninth Prince to support you, how long can you sit on the throne of the crown prince? Rather than being deposed by our father, it is better for you to give up the throne and leave a good reputation." After staying in Jiangnan for a long time, Dong Ling Ziqing's temperament has become much more relaxed and he is no longer as cautious as he was in the imperial city.

He had been staying in the military palace for many years and was used to being straightforward in everything. The prince had also gotten used to it during this period of time. When he heard Dong Ling Ziqing's words, he was not angry but seriously considered it. Finally, he made up his mind and went back to his room to write a letter requesting to give up his throne.

The gist of it was that he was in poor health and could not serve as the crown prince. For the sake of Dongling, he begged the emperor to appoint another wise man. In order to maintain his health, he needed to stay in Jiangnan for a long time. He asked the emperor to make Jiangnan his and Ziqing's fiefdoms, and they would not return to Beijing without the emperor's order.

This would completely cut off his possibility of ascending to the throne.

After finishing the memorial, the prince read it again from beginning to end. He felt sad and wanted to burn it countless times. Finally, he sealed the memorial and ordered someone to send it back to the capital as soon as possible.

When the prince recalled this incident later, he was extremely proud. It was considered an extremely correct decision he had made. It was because of this decision that the Ninth Prince completely trusted him.

When the Ninth Prince's life and death was unknown and the people around him betrayed him one by one, the Prince still chose to stand on the side of the Ninth Prince's uncle. Not everyone has such courage.

By doing this, the prince not only demonstrated his loyalty, but also saved the ninth uncle from danger. Afterwards, the ninth uncle always treated the prince well. Even though he did not let the prince become emperor, he ensured that he would live a life of wealth and health.

The Ninth Prince's letter had just been sent out when the Crown Prince's letter requesting to step down was delivered to the palace. However, because the Emperor was seriously ill, the letter was not seen immediately.

The Emperor is seriously ill, which is a big deal. Not only does Prince Luo and others have to put their plan to attack the Ninth Uncle on hold, but even Feng Qingchen's visit to the palace to pay her respects to Imperial Concubine Xie has to be put on hold.

Feng Qingchen could only drag someone to bring the news to the palace, telling Imperial Noble Concubine Xie that she had returned to the capital and that the little prince's cleft lip could be cured, and it would be best to send the little prince to the Feng Mansion for treatment.

Feng Qingchen also gave the reason. Her hand was injured in the accident and has not yet recovered. The surgeon this time will be Sun Zhengdao's son, her apprentice Sun Sixing.

Feng Qingchen told Imperial Noble Concubine Xie not to worry, saying that Sun Sixing's medical skills were better than hers, and with Sun Sixing as the surgeon, the little prince's illness would be fine, and she would also be watching from the side.

The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen were in trouble at the same time. They both had to lie in bed for a month before they recovered. It was understandable that Feng Qingchen injured both hands.

When Imperial Concubine Xie received the news, she was quite hesitant. She believed that Sun Sixing was a good doctor. After all, he was not called the little genius doctor for nothing. But she only believed in Feng Qingchen.

Imperial Noble Consort Xie said that she could wait until Feng Qingchen's hand healed.

Feng Qingchen disagreed, saying that the little prince's illness could not wait any longer and must be treated while he was young, otherwise the symptoms would become obvious when he grew up, and she couldn't say when her hand would be healed.

Imperial Concubine Xie had no choice but to agree. She would try her best to ask the Emperor to agree to let the little prince leave the palace for treatment. If that didn't work, she would have to trouble Sun Sixing and Feng Qingchen to come to the palace.

Feng Qingchen didn't have much opinion on this, and everything was decided by Imperial Concubine Xie.

She knew that Imperial Noble Concubine Xie was in a difficult situation now. The Emperor did not give her much face, and she did not have much respect in the palace.

During the three days when the emperor was seriously ill, Feng Qingchen and Imperial Noble Consort Xie had already discussed the matter of the little prince's surgery. As soon as the emperor recovered, the matter could be carried out...
