Chapter 106: A Heart-Stirring Dance
"I stopped you because I knew how unpleasant this would be!"
"But you are so ungrateful!"
"And you're disappointed in me!"
"How daring! I... I... will definitely punish you severely!"
Emperor Rongcheng was so angry that he was shaking. He looked around but did not see Dexi, so he shouted loudly.
"Someone come!"
"The prince is committing treason. Drag him down and beat him severely!"
Upon hearing this, Dexi immediately rushed in.
"His Majesty!"
Dexi saw that Emperor Rongcheng's fingers were shaking with anger, so he hurried forward to support him.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, anger is harmful to your health. Anger is harmful to your health."
As he spoke, he helped Emperor Rongcheng sit down on the dragon throne and hurriedly brought him some tea for him to drink.
But Emperor Rongcheng's face was still flushed, and he pointed at a certain place on the desk with a trembling finger, saying with difficulty: "Dandan..."
Dexi paused for a moment and originally wanted to persuade him, but seeing the look on Emperor Rongcheng's face, he didn't care about anything else and immediately took out an exquisite brocade box from under the table.
The brocade box was opened, and Dexi hurriedly took out a pill from it and immediately put it to Emperor Rongcheng's mouth.
Emperor Rongcheng opened his mouth and swallowed the pill in one gulp, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, Emperor Rongcheng's complexion had recovered a lot, and even his breathing had become a little steadier.
Seeing this, Dexi felt relieved, but also felt uncomfortable, and could not help but advise:
"Your Majesty, although this elixir is good for your dragon body, consuming too much will definitely be harmful. I hope Your Majesty will prioritize your dragon body and not consume too much."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Rongcheng waved his hand casually.
"No problem."
"I know what's going on."
He breathed a sigh of relief as he spoke.
At this time, outside the hall, the sound of wooden boards hitting flesh could be heard.
But there was no sound from Shen Hechuan, which showed that he had been holding back and did not say a word even so.
The sound was dull and clear, reaching the ears of Emperor Rongcheng one after another, making his face even gloomier.
Seeing this, Dexi knelt down and advised, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince...is young and energetic, so it's inevitable that he is a little impatient. Your Majesty, please be magnanimous and don't argue with him.
If the fight continues, the prince's body won't be able to bear it!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Rongcheng snorted coldly and said casually, "Let them stop."
After saying that, he added one more sentence.
"No need to hide from others. Just send him back like this and let him see the consequences of disobeying me."
Upon hearing this, Dexi couldn't help but hesitate. He wanted to persuade him, but looking at the gloomy face of Emperor Rongcheng, he finally swallowed his words of advice.
Soon, the news that Shen Hechuan was beaten with ten boards at the gate of the hall by Emperor Rongcheng for offending the emperor spread quickly and caused quite a stir among officials.
After all, the prince was cautious and did things flawlessly, and Emperor Rongcheng rarely found any fault with him, let alone the fact that he was being beaten in public.
It can be said that this is unprecedented and unheard of.
The court has long been divided into two factions: the Prince's Party and the Prince Rui's Party.
Now that the crown prince had been punished, Prince Rui's party couldn't help but feel secretly proud, thinking that Prince Rui had a sure victory, and began to make secret plans.
After Chen Hechuan was carried away, Emperor Rongcheng's complexion had returned to normal, and he felt lighter, as if he was ten years younger.
He simply stood up and said to Dexi behind him:
"The weather is nice today, come with me for a walk outside."
Upon hearing this, Dexi hurriedly followed.
Emperor Rongcheng was busy with government affairs on weekdays and had little time to rest, so naturally he had little time to visit the Imperial Garden.
After walking around today, it is inevitable that my body feels a little tired.
He couldn't help but sigh.
"I'm really getting old. I'm already tired after walking such a short distance."
Seeing that Emperor Rongcheng was sweating profusely, Dexi quickly advised:
"Your Majesty, you've worked hard today. Noble Consort Hui's palace is just ahead. Why don't you go over there and rest for a while?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Rongcheng stopped in his tracks, his eyes falling on the three words "Huian Palace". After a moment, he said:
"Prince Rui has already left."
"yes."
Dexi said, "Your Highness Prince Rui left the palace half an hour ago."
Emperor Rongcheng then shook his head.
"Forget it. She must be distressed right now. I'd better not make her unhappy."
He continued walking forward as he spoke.
Dexi looked at the direction where Emperor Rongcheng was going, and suddenly he had an idea. He immediately understood what was going on and hurriedly followed.
"Your Majesty, we'll soon be at Jingyu Palace. You haven't visited the Empress for a long time, and I don't know how she's doing. Why don't you go to her palace and rest for a while?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Rongcheng paused, as if suddenly realizing something, and said:
"You've actually reached the Queen's palace? Why not go and take a look?"
Dexi quickly agreed and was about to send someone to pass the message, but was stopped by Emperor Rongcheng.
"No need to pass on the message, I can go there myself."
Dexi quickly agreed and immediately followed Emperor Rongcheng.
The Jingyu Palace is located in a remote area and was originally an idle palace.
Later, the Empress felt that the environment here was good and quiet enough, so she asked Emperor Rongcheng for permission to move here.
At that time, Emperor Rongcheng and the Queen had a fierce quarrel.
From then on, the Empress moved here, and Emperor Rongcheng rarely set foot in this palace.
The two of them seemed to be holding their breath, and neither of them was willing to bow first.
Later, Emperor Rongcheng favored Concubine Hui, and he went to the Queen's Palace less and less frequently.
At first, Dexi thought that the queen would give in to Emperor Rongcheng because of this.
What he didn't expect was that the Queen Mother actually handed over the Phoenix Seal directly, saying that she was in poor health and unable to manage the harem, so she gave the power to manage the harem to Concubine Hui.
That day, Dexi saw with his own eyes that Emperor Rongcheng broke the brush in his hand, but with a smile on his face, he took the phoenix seal directly and handed it to Concubine Hui personally.
From then on, for many years, the two were like strangers and rarely spoke to each other.
And now, Emperor Rongcheng was actually willing to take the initiative to go to the Queen's palace. Dexi was happy in his heart and secretly wiped away a tear for the Queen.
After all, this queen has an excellent personality and is extremely gentle and kind.
It was because of her words that Dexi's life was saved, and later he was able to stay by Emperor Rongcheng's side and step by step reach his current position.
So, in Dexi's heart, the Queen is his savior.
Just as he was thinking about it, Emperor Rongcheng had already arrived at the gate of Jingyu Palace.
The door at the entrance of the palace was open. Emperor Rongcheng signaled the people around him to keep quiet and walked in slowly.
At this time in the courtyard, Queen Jiang Xianhao was dancing slowly in a red dress.
Her movements were light and graceful, and her figure was beautiful. Every move she made was just right, as light as a dancing butterfly, which stunned Emperor Rongcheng.
