Yuan Rui missed work so much that Emperor Xianqing couldn't stand it anymore and came to urge people to go to work.
Yuan Rui was reluctant. I worked hard for the imperial court, but my sister was married and my wife almost had a miscarriage. How could he be in the mood to be an errand?
He wished he could quit his job. Wen Yao comforted him for a long time, and Yuan Rui cheered up and went to the palace.
In the palace.
Emperor Xianqing had just taken the medicine and was in good spirits. His previous illness was gone, and Emperor Xianqing was in a good mood.
The Imperial Preceptor was also present, and the medicine the Emperor drank was the elixir he had just refined. The Emperor was in a good mood, so he should give him a reward. The Imperial Preceptor took the opportunity to give Yuan Rui eye drops: "Prince Yuan has made many meritorious deeds recently, and you can't even shout, Your Majesty."
Move, how long has it been, and it hasn’t come yet. Your Majesty is so generous and merciful, so the juniors dare to be so presumptuous."
This means that Yuan Rui has no dignity and is proud of himself.
Emperor Xianqing was a little unhappy, "Hengyu is capable, and he has done a good job in entrusting the errands to him. I am relieved, but he is too attached to his family."
Of course, this is what happens to young couples who have just gotten married and have children. It’s understandable if they are a bit clingy.
The Imperial Master also said, I am an elder, can I still be as knowledgeable as a junior?"
"Your Majesty is wise, what a blessing to your ministers!"
"Stop flattering me, and hurry up with the elixirs. I haven't felt so energetic in days."
Yuan Rui was led directly in by the eunuch. Seeing Emperor Xianqing's energetic appearance, he was stunned for a moment. Is the emperor's health okay?
The Imperial Master smiled but said, "Prince Yuan, why are you not happy to see the emperor's dragon body restored?"
Yuan Rui came back to his senses and said in surprise: "I am so surprised. Congratulations to the Emperor for your health."
"I'm also very surprised. This time I took the elixir refined by the national master, and the effect is really good. I've been working hard on Hengyu these days."
The elixir refined by the Imperial Master?
Yuan Rui suppressed the surprise in his heart and quickly saluted: "What I should do is to share the emperor's worries without having to work hard."
"Well, that's good. How is your noble concubine? She doesn't look like a frail young lady. Why is she so bad?"
What does Emperor Xianqing mean? Is Wen Yao pretending to be sick?
Yuan Rui's expression remained unchanged, and he was complaining in his heart. After working for so many days, he had learned the basic skills of keeping his emotions and anger hidden. He could also deal with Emperor Xianqing calmly, "Yaoyao has been doing well since she was pregnant with the child."
, I am very angry this time, Prince Xiao is just looking for trouble, and he actually targets his sister, which is unbearable!"
Emperor Xianqing said: "The folk customs of Dajin are different from those of Dazhou. They prefer lively and cheerful girls. Your sister may live a more comfortable life if she marries to Dajin."
Yuan Rui could no longer hold back his expression, and was shocked. He knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, I am just such a sister. The elders love and dote on me, and they care more about me than the heir apparent. If I marry Dajin, what will my mother and grandmother be able to do?"
Are you willing to do so?
I ask the emperor to think twice. If Da Jin goes too far, I am willing to put on my armor and mount my horse, so that the emperor's heart and brains will be wiped out."
"Okay, Hengyu has grown up. It's good to have this ambition. The martial arts competitions are about to start. This time you go and see if there are any good seedlings."
Yuan Rui's heart was going up and down at what Emperor Xianqing said. He couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he had to agree: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will definitely select talents well."
"I will give you some supplements as a reward for your concubine. You have been working hard recently and you are not too busy with martial arts matters. Please spend more time with your wife and children."
Yuan Rui burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The imperial master couldn't hide his jealousy. He was really his nephew. He was not yet twenty and could participate in the selection of military examination candidates. Although it was not as important as the imperial examination, it was not just for anyone who wanted to go.
The selected martial arts examiner has the gift of promotion and will definitely be used by him. The emperor is fond of him.
After the matter was finished, Yuan Rui resigned, without even looking at the Imperial Master. Emperor Xianqing's expression flashed. Yuan Rui was very resentful towards the Imperial Master.
As soon as Yuan Rui left, Emperor Xianqing said: "Hengyu is a rare talent in the royal family. He is also young. The concubine he married is also a strange woman. In time, I will be gone. The new king will have them to assist him.
It can also be stable.
Imperial Master, I hope you can live in harmony with Hengyu and become my right-hand man."
"I know I was wrong. Your Majesty, there is no need to be pessimistic. Your dragon body has a lifespan of at least ten years. If you are not in a hurry, the new king can cultivate it slowly."
Emperor Xianqing was happy: "Really? It doesn't need ten years, five years is enough."
In five years, even if the prince was deposed, the new prince could still sit on the throne. Emperor Xianqing had an idea in his mind and declared: "The prince has no virtue. He should be deposed and demoted to the clan's house. He will not be able to come out for life."
The eunuch suddenly issued an order to depose the prince, and the eunuch could hardly recover. He immediately issued the order and asked carefully: "Depose the prince, where are the prince's concubine, the emperor's grandson, and the little princess?"
When the prince is deposed, his family will also be denounced and imprisoned together. However, the emperor has always liked the grandson, so does he not want the grandson too?"
Emperor Xianqing sighed, "Let's imprison them together."
The eldest eunuch didn't dare to ask any more questions. Anyone who asked at this time would be seeking death.
When Yuan Rui left the palace, things changed in the east palace. After receiving the news, everyone was numb. Why did he depose the prince? He also imprisoned the grandson. Now things are really going to change.
Wen Yao was equally surprised, "Did we all get it wrong?"
The grandson is not favored. Who does the emperor want to make the crown prince?
Yuan Rui felt heavy: "Hey, it's a pity that the Crown Princess and the others were all implicated by the Crown Prince."
Wen Yao said: "The prince is the prince, and the great-grandson is the great-grandson. When you enter the clan's house, there will definitely be some villains who will add insult to injury. We should take more care of them."
The tiger fell to Pingyang and was bullied by dogs. The deposed prince's family could be bullied by servants. Wen Yao didn't need to think about it, she knew how miserable they would be.
Yuan Rui nodded: "I know, I will take care of them without you telling me, but it can't be the same as before."
"Hu Shangshu is still here. If a person is alive and has not been sent to the border, there is hope."
Yuan Rui's eyes lit up: "Yes, if you really hate the prince's family, you can completely banish them and demote them to common people. This shows that the emperor still cares about the prince."
"No, it's the grandson. The emperor's love for the grandson is true. Sometimes confinement does not mean giving up completely."
At this time, it was time to burn the cold stove. They wholeheartedly supported their grandson, and the merits of Conglong were enough to protect the future generations of Prince Jing's palace.
Yuan Rui thought clearly and added another layer of worry at this time: "What kind of elixir has the imperial master refined for the emperor? The emperor's face is glowing red, but I feel that it is not normal. Is there such a powerful elixir in the world?"
Wen Yao was shocked: "Elixir? Face glowing red? Impossible."
She also knows medical skills and has pretty good abilities. She can do it even for an imperial doctor. Naturally, she knows that the emperor's physical condition will never recover in a short time.
