Originally, the Ministry of Rites had told them a few days ago that they should go to Wuying Palace to welcome Prince Chen with the Emperor today. He went there early in the morning and everything was going well. All the civil and military officials had also arrived. However, as soon as the news of Prince Chen's arrival at Qiliting came, the Emperor issued an oral order to send them all away.

"This came from the Imperial Study. Fan Wenzhong also said that he wanted the Emperor to teach you a lesson so that you would remember carefully who is the master and who is the servant."

"The emperor was persuaded and wanted to show his power to the prince."

"When I heard this, I was so angry. You just returned to the capital, and the emperor listened to the treacherous people and deliberately insulted you, Your Highness!"

Ming Xiyang became angrier and angrier as he spoke. His face turned red and he angrily slapped the small square table beside him.

He was furious on the spot. Not only him, but some of his comrades in the army also stood up for Prince Chen. They also felt that if one is alone, the other will be in trouble. Prince Chen, who had made such great military achievements for Da Qi, was being guarded against and suppressed. What about them?

However, they were all stopped by Su Mubai.

Su Mubai said that if they spoke up for Prince Chen, wouldn't that make the Emperor even more wary of His Royal Highness Prince Chen?

Ming Xiyang sighed inwardly, but did not mention the matter. He then said, "My Lord, it's a good thing that you left the palace and returned to the palace first. Otherwise, I don't know how long you would be left out in the cold."

Ming Xiyang took the teacup, drank it all in one gulp, and wiped his mouth generously with his sleeve. "As soon as I knew you were back, I came here immediately. Your Majesty, can I ask for a dinner from you?"

Ming Xiyang had a lecherous look on his face, and his words were full of intimacy.

Before he was injured, he spent three years in the North under Gu Jue's command.

Gu Jue laughed and ordered, "Yunzhan, have someone tell the kitchen not to add anything too cold or too hot."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern!" Ming Xiyang bowed to Gu Jue, with a touch of emotion on his face.

Last October, he was injured again on the battlefield. When the military doctor examined him, he said that he was covered with hidden injuries and needed to be well taken care of. He also mentioned that he should not eat extremely cold or hot foods. Unexpectedly, Gu Jue kept it in mind.

"But my illness has been completely cured. I can eat whatever I want!" Ming Xiyang patted his chest proudly.

"Oh?" Gu Jue raised his eyebrows.

Gu Jue knew how badly Ming Xiyang was injured last year, so he let Ming Xiyang leave the north and return to the capital early.

Speaking of this, Ming Xiyang became excited and said loudly: "Originally, I almost thought I would not be able to wait for you to return to Beijing."

"You don't know, I vomited blood a few days ago, and I vomited bowls of blood. I almost vomited all over. There are only quacks in the capital, and even the imperial doctors are useless. From winter to March now, I don't know how many medicines I took, but not only did I not get better, I vomited more blood, and I almost died!"

"General Ming, you are exaggerating." Yun Zhan teased, "I see that your face is rosy and you are in good spirits. You are even spitting out blood. Who are you trying to fool?"

Yunzhan and Mingxiyang had fought in the battlefield together in the north. They were close enough to be willing to back each other up, so they spoke without hesitation.

"That was my lucky day. I happened to meet a miracle doctor!" Ming Xiyang still feels scared when he thinks about it now.

Everyone will die one day, but a general would rather die on the battlefield.

"That miracle doctor was very good. He saved my life with just one dose of medicine. It was four days ago. I was carried into the clinic, and an hour later, I walked out on my own!

"After that, I took the medicine she prescribed for another three days, and I was completely healed!"

Speaking of the miracle doctor, Ming Xiyang showed admiration on his face.

At that time, the young doctor said that it was just a minor illness and there was no need for a follow-up visit. However, his wife was still worried and grumbling. As a result, he took the medicine for another three days and he really got better. As expected, there was no need for a follow-up visit.

It's amazing!

Restraining his excitement, Yun Zhan asked calmly, "General Ming, is this miracle doctor you mentioned really that amazing? Which clinic is he in? I want to go see him, too."

Ming Xiyang answered truthfully: "The miracle doctor is at Jishiditang on Huahong Street! However, she said that she would only send someone every five days."

Jishidiang. Yunzhan silently memorized the name in his heart.

Ming Xiyang was a talkative person. He talked about everything from the north to the capital. Yun Zhan wanted to ask him in detail how great the miracle doctor was, but he didn't have the chance to interrupt him. He was so annoyed that he really wanted to pick up the kettle and give him a few sips.

Ming Xiyang, who was talking about his good-for-nothing eldest son, shuddered for no reason. He felt that Yun Zhan's eyes were full of "malice" when he looked at him. Did he not provoke him?

At this time, the steward came into the hall and reported: "Your Highness, Eunuch Chen is here, and he said he is here to convey the Emperor's oral order, asking Your Highness to come to the palace immediately for the banquet."

There was silence in the hall for a moment.

Gu Jue chuckled barely audibly. He picked up the blue and white porcelain teacup and said slowly, "Just say that I am busy with something important. I appreciate the emperor's kindness."

He looked relaxed and at ease, and it didn't seem like he was busy with anything important, but no one questioned his words.

Ming Xiyang continued the previous topic as if nothing had happened, "...I don't know what's wrong with that brat of mine these days. He insists on giving up martial arts and pursuing literature."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"Don't you think about it? He looks so big and strong that he can't even hold a pen properly. How can he study literature? He is not like you, the prince, who is proficient in both civil and military affairs..."

Ming Xiyang was sincere in praising Gu Jue, just like the endless flow of the Yangtze River.

Although Yunzhan felt that Ming Xiyang was right in praising him, his head hurt even more.

Gu Jue did not attend the palace banquet after all. From that day on, the door of Prince Chen's Mansion was closed for several days in a row. Gu Jue did not leave the house and did not attend court. Within just a few days, the emperor summoned him several times by oral instructions and even imperial edicts, but Gu Jue ignored them all.

The emperor had intended to give Prince Chen a warning, but ended up losing face himself. He was furious and annoyed, and had been furious at the morning court for several days in a row. Even Yongding Marquis Chu Lingxiao was taken out on him. For a small mistake in his assignment, he was scolded and fined half a year's salary. The atmosphere in the marquis's mansion became tense.

Chu Qianchen had long forgotten whether similar things had happened in her previous life. Ever since Gu Jue returned to Beijing, she had been running to Jishidiang every day and had no time to care about anything else.

In his previous life, Chu Qianchen was picked up by Gu Jue a year later. At that time, he was already very ill.

She only knew that Gu Jue had contracted the illness during the war in the north.

They searched everywhere for a famous doctor for him, and finally found the miracle doctor Lin Miao in Jiangnan.

However, Lin Miao said: "The King has already died. Even if Hua Tuo were to be reborn, he would be powerless to save the situation."

"Unless it could have been a year or two earlier, there might still be hope, but the damage done cannot be reversed. How can time be reversed, and how can people go back to the past?"

That year, she was fifteen years old.

She didn't believe it, so she took Lin Miao as her teacher and studied medicine with him, but in the end she was still powerless.

Thinking of her past life, Chu Qianchen couldn't help but clench her handkerchief tightly, and her cherry lips behind the veil were tightly pursed together.

In his previous life, her master was right. She tried her best, but could only barely keep him alive for another year and a half. In the end, she could not save him.

But what the master could not have guessed was that he could really start over again! Now it was two years earlier than in the previous life!
