The imperial doctor and the two father-in-laws in the palace were a little surprised. When the concubine saw the emperor, who would not be frightened? The concubine Hu was really a strange person, and she actually dared to harm the emperor.
Continuously, Prince Rui and several princes also came into the palace. Just then the emperor fainted. Eunuch Mu Ru was afraid that something would happen, so he immediately sent people to all the mansions to tell the princes to come into the palace.
Emperor Ming Yuan rarely got sick before. Now, in his seventh year since he ascended the throne, he rarely takes medicine except for taking Ping'an pulse. For a long time, everyone has thought that the emperor is invincible.
No one had ever seen Emperor Ming Yuan so weak, so weak that he was lying on the bed waiting for others to serve him. For a moment, the fighting between the brothers was put aside, and he only wanted to be filial to his father.
The brothers also discussed helping their father to share the government affairs. Even the Prince of Qi and Sun Wang, who had always had no interest in political affairs, were willing to offer their services to the court.
They were sitting in the hall talking, the brothers gathered together in an unprecedented harmony. Even King An was a little panicked. While talking, he looked back at Emperor Ming Yuan several times, with the worry in his eyes that could not go away.
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at the brothers discussing with each other and looked extremely comforted.
At this time, King Ji suddenly proposed that he was willing to sacrifice Meng Yue's happiness and let Meng Yue get engaged to the son of Li Chao, a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan, so that the court could speed up the development of Jiangnan.
Yu Wenhao knew the inside story and kept silent for a while.
Several other princes agreed, including Prince Rui, who applauded and even praised Prince Ji for being sensible.
Yu Wenhao and Yuan Qingling looked at each other, their eyes full of worry.
"Fifth brother, what do you think?" Seeing that he didn't express his opinion, King Ji simply asked him.
Yu Wenhao withdrew his eyes and said: "My father told me about this, and I also sent Xu Yi to Jiangnan to inquire about the Li family. If Mr. Li has good conduct, it will be a good thing."
Prince Ji nodded, "Yes, we need to inquire carefully. Meng Yue is my daughter. I cannot bear to wrong her. Getting married is a lifelong matter."
Yuan Qing stood next to Concubine Hu and touched Concubine Hu gently. Concubine Hu took notice and said: "Meng Yue is still young, so there is no need to rush to get engaged."
King Ji said: "Your Majesty Hu's words are wrong. Meng Yue is 12 years old. It is appropriate to stay for three or four years after the engagement."
He stood up, his tone full of reluctance, "Meng Yue is a sensible child. The king has mentioned this to her, and she is willing to do so. She said that she can share the worries of the emperor's grandfather and is willing to do whatever he asks her to do. She...
....What a filial child.”
Emperor Ming Yuan was very comforted and said: "Then wait until the people sent by Lao Wu come back to report. If it is feasible, I will make her a princess. I can't wrong her."
King Ji hurriedly knelt down and said, "I thank my father for Meng Yue!"
The harmonious and beautiful atmosphere just now was gone.
After dawn, the ladies from all the palaces came over, and the Queen Mother also came to visit in person. She was extremely worried.
The Empress Dowager insisted that Emperor Ming Yuan should move back to the palace to recuperate, and not stay in the imperial study. She also strictly requested that political affairs should not be touched in the past few days, and that everything should be left to the Crown Prince and the Chief Assistant to handle.
Emperor Ming Yuan listened to the Queen Mother's words and suspended his power for three days.
After Yuan Qingling finished hanging the needles for Emperor Ming Yuan, she left the palace with Yu Wenhao.
After leaving the palace gate, King An caught up with him and said to Yu Wenhao: "Fifth brother, can we have a chat?"
