Chapter 209 The Most Ruthless Imperial Family



Concubine Shu wiped his lips with a handkerchief several times.

Hearing the prince's question, Emperor Shun nodded slightly, his voice slightly hoarse: "Where is the miracle doctor?"

"Father, Divine Doctor Jiang is waiting in the palace."

Emperor Shun shook his head: "I am talking about the miraculous doctor Lingjun."

The prince's expression froze. How did his father know that it was the genius doctor Lingjun who saved him?

Is it possible that although my father is unconscious, he is still conscious?

Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

I stopped and thought about the past few times and wondered if I had said anything out of line.

Concubine Shu said softly, "The Divine Doctor Lingjun has left the palace. Now that the emperor has woken up, let's call Divine Doctor Jiang to take your pulse!"

The Emperor heard this, looked at the Crown Prince, and whispered, "Divine Doctor Lingjun's medical skills are better than Divine Doctor Jiang's, but you drove her away? Rebellious son! My body still needs her to take care of it, and now you're driving her away, have you ever thought about me?"

Upon hearing this, the prince quickly knelt down on the ground.

"Father, please calm down. Lingjun behaved rudely and looked down on everyone. She didn't take the dignity of the Man family seriously at all. That's why I drove her away." If she had treated the queen properly, he would have thrown her into prison for the crime of great respect. Why would he keep her until now?

Concubine Shu calmed him down: "Your Majesty, the prince is young and hot-tempered. This treatment is also for the sake of the dignity of the royal family. Don't get angry and get yourself in trouble. Please ask Dr. Jiang to come in quickly!"

Hearing her say this, Emperor Shun nodded slowly: "I will forgive you for now. If you are so reckless in the future, I think your position as the crown prince will end."

He Lingsheng didn't expect his father to say such a thing.

Since he became the crown prince, the emperor has never said such harsh words. Now he even wants to depose the crown prince. Could it be because of the fourth brother?

His gaze fell on Concubine Shu, and seeing that there was no joy on her face and her eyes were full of worry, his heart sank.

It seems that what my mother said is right. It will not benefit them at all if Concubine Shu regains favor.

Ever since Consort Shu regained her favor and the fourth son was given a title, the hearts of the ministers in the court began to waver.

Although he is the crown prince, he is born of a legitimate wife after all. It was his father's word that decided whether to depose or not. Now, if he wants to sit back and relax, he must use some tricks.

The fierce look in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and he lowered his head and said, "Father, I know I was wrong."

Emperor Shun glanced at him and said, "Choose a wife after the New Year and bring the concubine into the palace. After a while, choose a concubine and a concubine. It's time for someone to take good care of your temper."

"Your son obeys your order."

"Get up."

"Thank you, father." He Lingsheng did not show any dissatisfaction on his face in response to Emperor Xiaoshun's rebuke. Upon seeing this, Emperor Xiaoshun's anger gradually subsided.

When Divine Doctor Jiang and several imperial physicians heard that the emperor had woken up, they hurried in.

"The emperor has just recovered from his illness, but he is a little weak and needs to rest." Doctor Jiang said, "Thanks to the emperor's strong body, he can recover so quickly." He did not mention anything about Shang Ruoyi's treatment of the emperor. He also knew that the emperor was conscious after Shang Ruoyi's acupuncture, but he was too weak to open his eyes. He heard their conversation clearly.

Now that Divine Doctor Jiang refused to mention it, he naturally wanted to take the lead. However, the imperial physician standing behind him smiled and said, "You are worthy of being Divine Doctor Lingjun. You only used a silver needle to beat all of us. You are truly a genius."

Divine Doctor Jiang felt a little depressed, and cursed those tactless imperial physicians in his heart.

"Pass on my decree. The miraculous doctor Lingjun has come to your rescue and will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver and a mansion in the capital."

This reward is really extremely valuable.

Upon hearing this, Dr. Jiang concealed the jealous look in his eyes.

"I am tired, kneel down and be at peace!"

"I will take my leave."

He Lingsheng looked at Concubine Shu who was still guarding Emperor Shun's bedside and said, "My Lady Concubine Shu, you have worked hard these past few days. I will send someone to take you back."

"Of course, I will accompany the emperor tonight. It will be dawn in a few hours, and then I will return to the palace."

"Yes, I will take my leave."

After He Lingsheng left, Emperor Shun slowly opened his eyes and patted Concubine Shu's hand: "Thank you for your hard work."

"This is what I should do. How can it be hard?" Concubine Shu said with some fear in her eyes: "You fainted this time, which really scared me. I am still scared now." She tucked her back corners, her face was pale. Seeing this, Emperor Shun said with pity: "In this huge palace, you are the only one who treats me sincerely."

"What are you talking about, Your Majesty?" Concubine Shu said softly, "Among so many sisters in the harem, which one of them is sincere to Your Majesty?"

"I know what's going on." Emperor Shun saw her sitting by the bed and smiled, "Why are you sitting here? Come and sleep beside me for a while."

The beds in the Hall of Mental Cultivation were for concubines to sleep on. In the past, no matter whose name was on it, they would only be carried to a side hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"I dare not overstep the boundaries, so I will just sleep on the couch next to me for a while." Concubine Shu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured and sleep. I will accompany you."

Hearing this, the emperor did not insist any more, smiled and went to sleep.

After a while, the sound of even breathing could be heard.

Concubine Shu tucked his hair and the corner of his back before going to the couch.

She turned around, her eyes full of coldness, all the tenderness and affection just now disappeared. Not only that, her hands under the quilt kept rubbing, as if they had touched something dirty.

Emperor Shun, who had been asleep, slowly opened his eyes and looked at Concubine Shu curled up on the couch, with the corners of his lips curved.

No one noticed that a figure slowly disappeared in the Yangxin Palace.

Early the next morning, Concubine Shu was promoted to Imperial Concubine. Upon hearing the news, Imperial Concubine Zhao once again smashed all the decorations that had just been replaced in Lanqing Palace.

"Noble Concubine! What right did she have to become a Noble Concubine? She became a Noble Concubine just by attending to the Emperor? Then what am I?" She said angrily, "A few days ago, the Emperor said that I was his most beloved Noble Concubine, but in the blink of an eye, I was promoted to the position of a bitch, the Noble Concubine."

Bixi said at the side: "Your Majesty, calm down. You still have to take care of the prince in your belly!"

"Prince." Concubine Zhao sneered: "Now that the emperor is in need of a son, it doesn't matter whether I give birth to a boy or a girl."

"My lady, you have a prince, what do you have to worry about?"

"Yes, Prince, I still have a prince." At this time, she still knew that He Lingsheng had just been reprimanded by the emperor last night.

Bixi looked at Concubine Zhao, feeling a little uneasy in her heart. Before this, the Queen's mind was extremely stable. Even if she encountered something, she would never be like this now. Ever since she became pregnant, the Queen's temperament has become a little crazy.

Shang Ruoyi, who had been staying at Prince Bao's mansion, nodded when she heard the news: "You are worthy of being the king. You are really good at using power and tactics. With just one soldier, you can check and balance the Crown Prince and Prince Bao."

The imperial family was the most ruthless, even their own sons and the people beside them believed in them.

Is this emperor pitiful or pathetic?
