Chapter 526: Going to Xu's Mansion to Recuperate
Song Yuntang looked in the direction of the two imperial physicians.
"The eldest prince's condition is ultimately a deficiency. The positive energy in his body is not enough to resist external evils and internal diseases. However, this deficiency is brought from the womb and is difficult to change. However, acupuncture and medicated diet, more sunshine and exercise, regular diet and rest can be used to adjust him to look like a normal person."
"This process will take a while, and even after you recover, you still need to be careful, avoid overwork, strengthen protection, and especially stay away from people with illnesses."
This disease may not sound serious, but once it is infected by external pathogens, it can easily be fatal.
In other words, the eldest prince was born in an imperial family and was well protected.
If he was born in an ordinary family, he would probably have died long ago.
Li Junyao looked solemn.
"In other words, this disease will accompany the emperor for the rest of his life?"
"Yes." Song Yuntang nodded. "The eldest prince's illness is caused by congenital deficiencies. It is extremely difficult to cure. However, Your Majesty does not need to worry too much. After the treatment, as long as you pay more attention to the changes in your body, there will be no big difference from ordinary people. Maybe a miracle will happen."
"Okay." Li Junyao looked at her, "I will hand over the emperor's body to the county lady."
Song Yuntang looked a little embarrassed and she looked at Li Junyao.
"Your Majesty, it will take more than a day or two to recover the eldest prince's health. I have children to take care of at home, so it is not convenient for me to come to the palace all the time. Can I teach the treatment method to the imperial physician and let the palace maids and eunuchs supervise the eldest prince's recovery?"
Naturally, her thoughts could not be hidden from the emperor's eyes.
He raised his eyes to look at her and asked lightly, "Princess Le'an doesn't want to enter the palace? Why?"
"Your Majesty..."
Song Yuntang couldn't help but think in his heart that as soon as he entered the palace, he would have to kneel and kowtow, and he had to be careful in what he said and what he did. It really was like the saying, "To serve the emperor is like serving a tiger."
One wrong move and you'll lose your head.
If there is nothing urgent, who would be willing to come?
But of course she couldn't say that in front of the emperor.
Upon seeing this, Li Xian hurriedly stood up and saluted the emperor.
"Father, Princess Le'an has young children at home who need to be taken care of. It is understandable that she cannot come to the palace often. Why not let me stay at Xu's house for a while? On the one hand, it will save Princess Le'an from going back and forth to the palace. On the other hand, if I feel unwell, I can find the princess for treatment in time."
Li Junyao was considering this matter in his heart.
The rest of the princes were all supported by the maternal families of the concubines.
Although An'er is the grandson of the Tang family, Lord Tang is old and has no children. After retiring from officialdom in a few years, he will be alone and unable to do anything.
Xu Qingye is a minister who can be used in important positions, and Song Yuntang is well-known. If he and his wife have no ulterior motives, allowing the prince to have more contact with them may become a great help in the future.
But for now, more tests are needed.
Thinking of this, Li Junyao looked directly at Song Yuntang.
"What do you think of the proposal made by the eldest prince just now?"
Li Xi'an looked at Song Yuntang and raised his hand to bow politely.
"I just don't know if it will bother the county lady."
Although Song Yuntang felt that the eldest prince was a hot potato, there was one thing: once the eldest prince moved into the house, the emperor would definitely protect the entire Xu Mansion. Although it would not be as comfortable as before, the safety of the whole family would be guaranteed.
If Prince Heng wants to take action against them, he has to think twice.
Correspondingly, the safety of the eldest prince became the top priority for the survival of the Xu family.
But judging from the emperor's expression, he did not seem to object to the eldest prince's proposal.
Thinking of this, she had no choice but to agree.
"I have many people at home. If the eldest prince doesn't mind the noise, I will welcome you. But my home is simple and the food and accommodation are far inferior to those in the palace. I am afraid that I will wrong the eldest prince."
If the eldest prince really wants to live at home, he must be given a separate courtyard.
Fortunately, there is still a vacant room in the backyard. I'm afraid that the families of my eldest brother and second brother will have to be arranged to live in the back room like Nian'er.
Li Xi'an smiled.
"It's OK. I don't mind where I live. I have never left the palace since I was born. I just want to take this opportunity to go out and see the local customs and practices of the capital."
Li Junyao snorted unhappily.
"I think you are just bored of staying around me and want to go out and make some noise."
Li Xi'an hurried to explain.
"Father, I don't have any, I..."
Li Junyao waved his hand.
"I don't blame you. If you want to go, go ahead. I've been busy with government affairs these years, leaving you to the palace maids and eunuchs. I've indeed neglected you."
That's why this nine-year-old child doesn't seem to have any childish vitality at all.
His personality is dull, just like a little old man.
If Lady Le'an can really cure his chronic illness, he will still have to deal with the ups and downs in officialdom in the future on his own.
It is impossible to keep him in a greenhouse for his entire life.
Li Xi'an looked at him and said, "Father, don't blame yourself. Father has treated me well enough, better than anyone else."
Li Junyao smiled helplessly.
"He's also a flatterer."
Li Xi'an looked serious.
"I am not flattering you. I am speaking from the bottom of my heart."
Li Junyao waved his hand.
"Okay, I will send some maids and eunuchs from the palace to accompany you to Xu's mansion to recuperate. Be careful when you go out."
"Don't bother with that. Youyi can accompany me first. If you are worried, you can send more people to stay in the dark." Li Xi'an said, "I don't want anyone to know my identity when I leave the palace this time, so as to avoid discussions inside and outside the palace, and to avoid the people in the Xu Mansion being restrained by me."
Li Junyao nodded.
"Then bring Zhu Ling along as well."
The emperor's tone was full of arrogance that brooked no refusal.
Li Xi'an felt helpless and could only bow.
"yes."
Li Junyao looked around at the palace maids and eunuchs in the imperial study.
"Tomorrow, when the eldest prince quietly leaves the palace, you will serve him as if he were in the Yangxin Palace. If anyone dares to say anything about what happened in the imperial study today, I will take his head."
It would be better for him to leave the palace secretly, so as to avoid overt and covert attacks, and allow him to recuperate in peace.
In the imperial study, palace maids and eunuchs were kneeling on the ground.
"I obey your command!"
…
When Liu learned that Song Yuntang was going to arrange them to the back room, she felt a little unhappy.
"Tang'er, you said that you have a very important guest coming tomorrow. The main house in this courtyard has been empty. Just give it to him to stay in. It's such a big house, and there are two side rooms on the left and right. We won't disturb him if we don't make any noise. Why don't you move to the backyard?"
How could the backyard be as comfortable as here?
The eldest prince had to hide his identity, and Song Yuntang didn't know how to explain his origins for a moment.
However, the eldest prince has a special status and is in poor health, so it is indeed inconvenient for him to ask his brother, sister-in-law, and nephew to live in the same courtyard with him.
"The guest coming tomorrow is of a special status, so we have no choice but to arrange for the families of the eldest and second brothers to stay in the backyard. Don't worry, sister-in-law. I have asked people to clean up the two largest rooms in the backyard. Although they are not as big as this one, they are bright and comfortable to live in."
After saying this, he began to personally supervise the servants to decorate the yard.
