After Emperor Ming Yuan had a calm talk with Prince Rui, he issued an order to Prince Ji's Mansion and he returned to the imperial study.
Eunuch Mu Ru advised him to rest, but he shook his head and said, "Come in and talk to me."
Eunuch Mu Ru agreed, came in and made tea first, then stood aside with his hands down.
Emperor Ming Yuan was half leaning on the Luohan bed and stretched out his hand to rub his eyebrows. The wrinkles on his forehead seemed to be deeper.
"Boss is thirty this year, right?" Emperor Ming Yuan spoke slowly, his voice hoarse from exhaustion.
"Back to the emperor, yes, Prince Ji is thirty this year." Eunuch Mu Ru arrived.
Emperor Ming Yuan hummed, "These days go by so fast. It seems like yesterday I saw them, they were just half-grown children. In the blink of an eye, I knew they were fighting each other."
Eunuch Mu Ru was startled, knelt down quickly, and said in fear: "Your Majesty!"
Emperor Ming Yuan sneered, "I never say it, right? If I don't say it, don't I know it in my heart?"
Eunuch Mu Ru did not dare to speak.
"Among my sons, I have high hopes for the eldest. He has been outstanding, smart and steady since he was a child. However, in recent years, he has become more impetuous and complacent, and his arrogance has grown. I will not know what he has in mind.
You know? He disappointed me very much."
"Your Majesty, Prince Ji will change his ways." Eunuch Mu Ru didn't know what the Emperor's intention was, and he didn't dare to speculate on it, so he could only comfort him softly.
Emperor Ming Yuan said sternly: "Change? Temperament can be changed, but how can ambition be changed? Now he is not the prince, but he is already killing his brothers. Once he becomes powerful, and I am older, his brothers will not all die in the
In his hand?"
Eunuch Mu Ru's face turned pale, "Your Majesty, calm down!"
"The second child is ordinary, the third child is capable but has a bad temper, the fourth child has some abilities, but unfortunately, he is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate others, and the sixth child is calm. After being ill for these years, after recovering, I am afraid that he will have no choice but to divide the feudal lords.
On the one hand, I want to be a happy king. Lao Qi and Lao Ba are my legitimate sons. Lao Ba has something wrong with his brain. Lao Qi is even more confused than the brainless Lao Ba, especially he married a disgusting wife. As for Lao Ninth
, that’s all.”
He counted eight of his nine sons, and they all sighed heavily and feebly.
Eunuch Mu Ru didn't hear the emperor talking about the old five kings of Chu, so he asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is also a king of Chu."
Emperor Ming Yuan picked up the tea and slowly pushed the tea foam on the water with the lid of the cup, his eyes far away, "Lao Wu..."
He closed the lid of the cup and said, "My fifth daughter-in-law is pretty good. Although she is always smart, she is kind-hearted, brave and decisive, but her mother's family is a bit annoying."
"Yes!" Eunuch Mu Ru responded, but the emperor never said anything about King Chu.
Emperor Ming Yuan stopped talking.
Eunuch Mu Ru retreated.
As soon as I went out, I saw someone coming from the Qinghua Palace, saying that the Eighth Prince had woken up.
Eunuch Mu Ru hurriedly went back to report to Emperor Ming Yuan. Emperor Ming Yuan was shocked and said to Eunuch Mu Ru: "What I just said about my fifth daughter-in-law is one less thing. She has the ability to turn decay into magic. Show me!"
Eunuch Mu Ru laughed and preached loudly: "Your Majesty is riding in the Qinghua Palace."
The Eighth Prince woke up, but he just snorted in a daze and never opened his eyes again.
However, when I called him, he also felt that his eyelids were moving but he couldn't lift them up.
Yuan Qing Lingxun reported: "The eighth brother's injury was always too serious. Now the internal bleeding has stopped, but he started to have a fever since midnight. He was given antipyretic medicine and the fever subsided. But after the fever, he felt very uncomfortable.
strength, so we still have to keep an eye on it."
Emperor Ming Yuan was a little disappointed, "So, it's not certain that he can be cured?"
Yuan Qing Ling said: "I'm not sure."
The main reason is that there are too few medicines that she can use on the Eighth Prince.
I hope the Chinese medicine will be effective.
This situation lasted for two days. The Eighth Prince woke up several times, but he only opened his eyes, looked at them, and then slowly closed them.
The queen's patience was completely gone. As soon as Yuan Qing Ling gave the eighth prince an infusion, she said angrily: "I don't know if it was the blood of those people that was injected into his body that made him sick."
In the Queen's opinion, the eighth prince's blood is noble, and the ninth prince and those imperial troops are naturally incomparable.
Yuan Qingling knew that many people here had blood superstition.
