He even wanted to issue an edict to restore his eldest son as the crown prince regardless, but he knew that if most officials in the court would not accept it, even if he issued an edict, it would be useless.

He didn't even dare to issue an edict to kill the two sons immediately.

God knows how many chips they still have in their hands. If they are pushed into a hurry and join forces to stage a mutiny, the emperor will also be afraid.

The emperor, after all, is a lonely man. Only if someone listens to him, what he says and his decrees are effective; if no one listens, he is just a poor, smelly old man who is about to die of illness.

"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Yin suddenly said, "Your Majesty, you are too impatient! The top priority is to take good care of the dragon body and restore health so that you can have more time to make long-term plans!"

Eunuch Yin was worthy of being called the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch who was in charge of etiquette. With one word, he pulled the emperor out of his corner, who was in extreme anxiety.

He seemed to suddenly wake up and wanted to restore the boss as the prince. What he lacked was not the means, power, or status, but time!

Lao San, Lao Ninth, they just want to torture him to death!

If he continues to be ill like this, wouldn't it be just what they wanted?

After March, except for the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, the emperor no longer went to court. He only occasionally summoned courtiers in the Yangxin Hall, and all matters were left to the cabinet.

Yan Jiuyuan, the chief assistant, still stands on the side of the emperor and the prince. The others don't care who they belong to. Judging from the current situation, no one has the strength to crush the other to death.

As for what happens to the south of the Yangtze River, what happens to the coast, and what happens to the Japanese pirates, it doesn’t matter!

No matter how the courtiers spit at each other or take off their shoes and fight in the court hall!

As long as the emperor reigns for one day, he will still be the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. As long as they don't want to bear the eternal infamy of killing their brothers and their fathers, none of them dare to act rashly.

The ministers did not expect that the emperor went directly to recuperate!

The imperial examination, which was postponed for one month, was co-hosted by the Chief Assistant and the eldest son of the emperor, Li Chi.

The Gongshi who passed the examination all had mixed emotions. I don’t know whether getting this Jinshi this year is a joy or a sorrow, a blessing or a curse.

Not to mention the chaos in Beijing, the little nuns in Baoen Temple lived a very happy and nourishing life despite the emperor's neglect.

The ministers in the court were in disarray, the emperor was in seclusion to recuperate, and the money originally allocated to Baoen Temple for offerings was directly embezzled by the eunuchs of the shrine. No one even bothered them during the entire New Year!

The old nuns who usually bullied everyone and tortured them all disappeared inexplicably. Jingxuan lay half-dead on the bed, and Song Qingyue took everyone to eat mutton hot pot in the hall dedicated to the Maitreya Buddha. No one cared about it.

It is true that there are no tigers in the mountains and the monkey is the king.

Which of the girls in this temple really wants to become a monk? Weren’t they all forced and killed?

The mutton is passed through the intestines, and the Buddha remains in the heart.

Chang Huiying asked Song Qingyue: "Ah Yue, is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really still alive?"

Her tone was very affectionate, and everyone got along very well with Song Qingyue. The Crown Princess was not only kind-hearted, but also very generous. She provided everyone with silver charcoal for free for a winter, and also made new clothes for everyone.

I even bought Rouge Gouache, Eyebrow Powder and Lipstick from Zhenbao Pavilion for everyone to use.

However, no one has dared to ask about Crown Prince Su.

Chang Huiying has been holding it in for two months and finally asked today.

Song Qingyue nodded: "Yes, he is alive."

A simple sentence without revealing anything more. Chang Huiying is not an ordinary lady. She immediately smelled the unusual meaning in it and stopped immediately without asking more questions. She said: "That's good."

Song Qingyue took another piece of mutton and ate it, and then said, "I'm going down the mountain to see the children today. Is there anything you want me to bring?"

A girl said: "Can you also take me down the mountain for a walk?"

"I want to go down the mountain too!"

Everyone raised their hands.

Song Qingyue wanted to go to the cave today and shook her head with a smile: "Not today, maybe next time."

Although everyone was a little disappointed, they all nodded obediently: "Then you must remember to take us with you next time!"
