Chapter 81 Standing Up
Bai Taotao and Lu Jiuyuan took a carriage all the way to the outside of Qianlong Palace.
The palace maids, from top to bottom, were already kneeling on the ground, wailing and crying to express their grief over the death of the prince.
Because Emperor Shengzong fell off the dragon throne and was unconscious, all the ministers were outside the Qianlong Palace, waiting anxiously.
If the crown prince dies, or the emperor injures his brain or body, then the situation in Dayang State will really change.
"The prince has arrived."
The eunuchs sang and shouted, and all the ministers and palace maids looked up.
Under the scorching sun, Lu Jiuyuan was walking slowly with the help of Bai Taotao, and he looked like he was floating.
Her clothes were fluttering in the wind, her three thousand strands of hair were flying in the air, and her face was gloomy, as if she had died with her eyes open.
The ministers knelt down one after another, wailing: "Prince, rest in peace."
The prince is actually resurrected, otherwise why would he be floating when walking normally?
No, the prince couldn’t walk before and was always in a wheelchair.
Lu Jiuyuan, who was being supported by his inner strength, said: ...
Because Lu Jiuyuan did not come out in a wheelchair, and he could not walk completely, he could only stand and walk occasionally.
Originally, he was able to walk slowly with the support of Bai Taotao.
However, Bai Taotao was a lazy person. After walking just a few steps with support, she felt her hands and arms sore.
Bai Taotao was lazy and used her internal force to help Lu Jiuyuan up, not even letting him touch the ground with his heels.
He used his inner strength to carry him away.
That's why the ministers thought they saw a ghost in broad daylight.
Misunderstood once again, Lu Jiuyuan looked at Bai Taotao unhappily and said, "Crown Princess, I want you dead!"
Bai Taotao: "If you're willing, just do it."
Lu Jiuyuan, who was forced to continue floating, said: ...
The ministers listened and said, "Rest in peace, Prince. We will persuade the Emperor to order the Crown Princess to be buried with you."
Bai Taotao tilted her head:???
If you are not careful, you will be buried alive?
Bai Xincheng, who was kneeling among the ministers, suddenly stood up and said, "Buried with the prince? Buried with your whole family, with your ancestors for eighteen generations. My baby doesn't want to be buried with the prince."
As he spoke, Bai Xincheng suddenly pulled out his sword from the guard's hand and pointed it at the ministers: "If anyone dares to say that the Crown Princess will be buried with him, I will strike you down!"
Bai Xincheng was furious. What kind of person was this? How dare he ask his precious daughter to be buried with him?
Damn prince, if Taotao wasn’t willing to marry, they wouldn’t be willing to marry her.
The ministers did not expect that Bai Xincheng, who was always gentle and polite, would be so impatient and directly draw his sword.
This is outside the Qianlong Palace. Be careful not to be mistaken for a traitor and be pierced by thousands of arrows.
Bai Taotao looked at Bai Xincheng and called out with emotion, "Dad."
Bai Xincheng walked over to Bai Taotao, and ignoring the floating Lu Jiuyuan, he whispered to her, "Don't be afraid, daughter. Daddy won't let you be buried alive with me. If anyone dares to let you be buried alive with me, Daddy will kill him. At worst, we will rebel against him."
His voice was so soft that only the three little kids next to Bai Taotao could hear it.
"Anyway, your elder brother is in the northern border, and he has plenty of soldiers."
Anyway, the prince's ghost can't hear you, so don't be afraid.
Lu Jingyan asked quietly, "Then I don't have to wait for my father to die, can I become the emperor directly?"
Bai Taotao: ...
Lu Jiuyuan: "...Father-in-law, please be careful with your words and actions outside of Qianlong Palace. Besides, I am not dead yet."
Bai Xincheng, who was already planning a rebellion, looked up at Lu Jiuyuan:???
Lu Jiuyuan pointed at the floor with a cold and ruthless expression. Bai Xincheng glanced over and saw Lu Jiuyuan's shadow. His face changed drastically, and he immediately knelt on the ground: "Prince, calm down. Just now..."
Lu Jiuyuan said, "I understand. I will bring the Crown Princess home for dinner tomorrow."
Bai Xincheng was a little skeptical about life:???
Was he talking about rebellion, or about asking the Crown Prince to bring the Crown Princess home for dinner?
Which sentence did you say?
Lu Jiuyuan didn't care about anyone else, and he and Bai Taotao entered the Qianlong Palace smoothly.
The ministers then looked up and asked, "Prince, it seems he is still alive?"
Someone was puzzled: "Are you sure it's not a fake corpse?"
Bai Xincheng quickly gathered his thoughts and hummed, "The prince is still alive, who is spreading rumors without caring about his life?"
Since the prince is still alive, everyone has different thoughts.
Steward Li was serving Emperor Shengzong in front of the dragon bed.
Empress Zhou was also accompanying him, tears welling in her eyes. "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is gone. You must take care of yourself. The Crown Prince's spirit in heaven would never want to see you hurt. You must take care of yourself."
Manager Li was the first to notice Lu Jiuyuan. He was still standing and floated in.
He opened his eyes wide and stammered, "Your Majesty, please wake up, Prince...Prince..."
When Queen Zhou heard the voice, she looked up and was immediately frightened by Lu Jiuyuan who floated in, and fell to the ground.
Her face was pale and full of fear.
Emperor Shengzong, who was half-conscious, slowly opened his eyes when he heard the word "Crown Prince".
Lu Jiuyuan just happened to float to the front of the bed and called out softly, "Father."
Emperor Shengzong burst into tears instantly: "Ah, I am dead too. I met Xiaojiu on the Yellow Springs Road."
Lu Jiuyuan: ...
Seeing that Lu Jiuyuan was alive, Chief Steward Li quickly reminded him, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is still..."
Emperor Shengzong heard the voice of Li Zongguan and continued to cry: "Little Li, I am leaving. I am leaving with the crown prince. I will die with my eyes open. Remember to help me burn the storybook. I haven't finished reading it yet."
Manager Li: ...
Emperor Shengzong was still in tears: "That escape pregnancy story has not yet ended. Little Leo, remember to find the screenwriter, chop off his head, and let him go to Hades to write the ending for me."
Bai Taotao touched her neck: ...
It’s so cold, I feel like my head is moving.
Emperor Shengzong added: "After I am gone, I will not appoint a crown prince. The crown prince in this life is Xiaojiu's. I will only appoint one person. If Dabao and Erbao are the crown prince's biological children, I will let them be the crown prince and the emperor."
Lu Jingyan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Grandpa Emperor, I..."
For the throne, I can become your highness's father's biological son.
Please give me the throne!
Bai Taotao quickly covered Lu Jingyan's mouth to prevent him from speaking.
Queen Zhou was shocked and angry.
Emperor Shengzong felt that he had finished his last words, so he took Lu Jiuyuan's hand and said, "Xiaojiu, take me to find your mother. Our family of three can finally be reunited."
Lu Jiuyuan twitched the corner of his mouth and shook off Emperor Shengzong's hand: "I am still alive. I am sorry to disappoint you, father."
When his hand was shaken away, Emperor Shengzong's hand hit the edge of the bed and felt pain.
Emperor Shengzong suddenly sat up with full health, then looked at Lu Jiuyuan: "Prince, are you still alive?"
Lu Jiuyuan snorted coldly.
Emperor Shengzong quickly called out to Chief Steward Li: "Little Li, come here."
Manager Li stepped forward.
Emperor Shengzong pinched his arm, and Chief Steward Li immediately cried out, "Ouch!"
Emperor Shengzong listened and quickly pinched his thigh. The pain made him almost jump up from the couch.
Well, I still jumped for joy.
Emperor Shengzong looked at Lu Jiuyuan and laughed heartily: "I said it was a palace servant joking. My prince is still alive. Come, drag that palace servant out and chop him up."
Lu Jiuyuan said quietly, "Father, please don't kill the people in my palace as soon as you wake up."
Everyone in his East Palace, from top to bottom, can be trusted.
The young eunuch misunderstood what Eunuch Xi meant, so he cleverly came out to report it.
Emperor Shengzong quickly said, "Okay, okay, no killing, no killing, I will obey the Crown Prince."
Bai Taotao once again saw Emperor Shengzong's favor for Lu Jiuyuan. In the past, which prince would dare to speak to the emperor like this?
Emperor Shengzong was happy that his son was still alive, so he stared at the prince. Then, as he looked, he felt that something was wrong.
Emperor Shengzong turned around and asked Steward Li, "Little Li, why do I feel that the Crown Prince has grown taller today? He looks so tall."
He was still immersed in the joy that the prince was still alive, and his mind had not yet come to his senses.
Only then did Manager Li realize that Lu Jiuyuan was standing, not sitting in a wheelchair.
He shouted in surprise: "Your Majesty, the prince has not grown taller, but has stood up. The prince has stood up."
After this shout, everyone realized that Lu Jiuyuan was standing.
Emperor Shengzong stared at Lu Jiuyuan intently. He had an upright figure and a graceful figure, just like a gentleman of bamboo and orchid.
He was actually standing.
"Woo woo."
Emperor Shengzong turned his back and cried softly with excitement.
If he were not the emperor, he would definitely be crying loudly now.
Emperor Shengzong choked up and said, "Call the imperial physicians, call all the imperial physicians."
Everyone in the Imperial Hospital was waiting outside, and when they heard the imperial physician being summoned, they hurried in.
Seeing the imperial doctors go in, the ministers couldn't help but start speculating again.
Is it the Crown Prince or the Emperor who is in trouble? Which side should they take now?
Lu Jiuyuan was tired of standing, so after the imperial doctors came in, he was already sitting on the dragon couch.
Emperor Shengzong happily made room for him and looked forward to watching the imperial doctors diagnose Lu Jiuyuan one by one.
He did not get impatient even after twenty or thirty imperial doctors diagnosed him.
Emperor Shengzong looked at the little boy and happily picked up Lu Jingbai: "Come, call me Grandpa Emperor."
Lu Jingbai pointed at Lu Jiuyuan with his little hand: "Dad, stand up."
She will only speak properly when her father walks properly.
Emperor Shengzong was stunned again: "Hmm? Two words?"
Lu Jingbai was still very well behaved, calling out in a milky voice, "Grandpa."
Emperor Shengzong was now even more delighted, laughing heartily. He asked Bai Taotao, "Crown Princess, has Xiaobao learned to speak? She just said, 'Daddy, stand up,' is that right?"
Bai Taotao nodded: "Yes."
Lu Jiuyuan snorted coldly: "Father, please don't fight with me for Xiaobao. It was Xiaobao who told me to stand, so I stood up."
Emperor Shengzong understood immediately and was even more surprised by Lu Jingbai: "The third time Xiaobao spoke, he only said two words, and when he said the word 'stand', the prince stood up. He is indeed the lucky star of my Dayang Kingdom. What an auspicious sign."
Steward Li quickly chimed in: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! This is auspicious news. May the Great Yang Kingdom enjoy a century of prosperity."
Emperor Shengzong laughed heartily and lifted Lu Jingbai up high: "Xiaobao is really a lucky star. Your little mouth must have been blessed."
Lu Jingyan, whose mouth has been blessed:???
Lu Jingbai blinked his eyes: "No, it's... Erbao."
She struggled to utter a word.
It was Lu Jingyan who had the blessing of speaking, not her, and it was mother's credit that daddy could stand.
Emperor Shengzong put Lu Jingbai down, then reached out and pulled the three little ones into his arms. "You are all the auspicious stars of our Dayang Kingdom. Because of you, the Crown Prince has recovered and is on his feet."
As he spoke, Emperor Shengzong looked at Bai Taotao lovingly again: "The Crown Princess is an even better match for the Crown Prince, a most auspicious sign among auspicious signs."
Bai Taotao smiled and responded to the emperor's compliments: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."
At this time, the imperial doctors had also finished diagnosing Lu Jiuyuan.
They all congratulated him, "Your Majesty, the prince's leg disease has healed and he will be able to walk briskly soon."
Emperor Shengzong, who was originally worried, couldn't help but feel happy: "Really?"
The imperial physician replied, "Your Majesty, after a diagnosis by the entire Imperial Hospital, the Crown Prince's leg disease has indeed healed. He's just a little weak because he hasn't walked for years. With a little exercise, he'll be able to walk briskly and fully recover."
Emperor Shengzong was delighted: "Great, great, everyone will get a reward."
Ever since Lu Jiuyuan appeared, Queen Zhou has been confused, and now she is even more confused.
Lu Jiuyuan actually stood up, and his leg injury was healed, and he could walk again?
How can this be possible?
Lu Jiuyuan's glory began to decline when he became disabled.
If I could walk again now, what would happen if I stole Lu Linyuan's limelight?
Empress Zhou was anxious, but she still smiled and congratulated Emperor Shengzong. Then she asked with concern, "The Crown Prince's leg disease has recovered. Does that mean his body is fine too? Has the rumor that lasted for half a year been broken?"
When the happy Emperor Shengzong heard this, he was stunned and became nervous again.
Empress Zhou said to the imperial physician in a deep voice, "You must take a good look at the patient. There must not be any misdiagnosis. I heard that the patient had a last-minute lucidity, is that true..."
Emperor Shengzong shouted angrily in a deep voice: "If the Queen can't speak, her tongue will be cut off and pickled to stop annoying people."
Empress Zhou quickly knelt down and apologized: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I only said this out of concern for the Crown Prince's health."
The prince must be having a last gasp, right?
Otherwise, how could he suddenly stand up after being disabled for five years?
He must have been about to die before he stood up in a last-ditch effort.
When Lu Jingbai heard what Queen Zhou was thinking, he was very angry. Taking advantage of his small size, he scattered the hair powder everywhere.
Her small hands tugged at the corner of Emperor Shengzong's clothes: "She is so bad."
Emperor Shengzong glanced coldly at Empress Zhou before asking the imperial physician, "How is the prince's health?"
The imperial doctors looked at each other in bewilderment.
Emperor Shengzong's heart suddenly sank.
The chief physician stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is in good health and will live another year without any problem."
He thought that living another hundred years would not be a problem, but the prince's pulse looked strange.
Anyway, he couldn't understand it, so he could only give such a conservative answer.
Emperor Shengzong immediately became happy again: "Can the prince really live for another year?"
His life span was originally only half a year, but now he can still live for a year.
Emperor Shengzong touched his head and felt that he had gained weight.
The doctor replied, "Yes."
Emperor Shengzong was delighted and said, "That's great. Since the Crown Prince is healthy, I will exempt him from tax for one year."
The director couldn't help but ask Lu Jiuyuan, "May I ask, Your Highness, which miraculous doctor cured your leg disease and extended your life?"
Lu Jiuyuan looked up at Bai Taotao.
Bai Taotao who just wants to cover her vest:!!!
Don't take my vest!
