With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

If Pei Hui's situation went unnoticed, that would be one thing, but if someone had noticed it and specifically investigated what was going on, they could have found some clues.

Moreover, Pei Ling, as the crown prince, now has renewed hope and has countless capable people at his disposal. Within a couple of days, he noticed some clues.

His current information is that Pei Hui is hiding a pregnant woman very well. Further investigation is needed to determine the exact details.

Pei Ling fell into deep thought. What kind of woman was she, and what was her identity, that his seventh brother would treat her like this? Not only that, his seventh brother even pretended to be sick to cover up the matter.

So, what secret is his seventh brother hiding?
Before Pei Ling could think further, a palace servant came to report that the emperor was ill. It wasn't a serious illness, just that he was old and overworked, and had caught a chill.

Of course, the emperor only spoke to him through the curtain, afraid of passing on his illness to him.

Feeling the care from her father, Pei Ling also had mixed feelings.

"I fear I have not two more years to live," the emperor suddenly said, his tone filled with regret, a regret that encompassed many things.

Pei Ling said, "Father, my health has improved a lot. I should be able to break the curse of not living past twenty-five."

Everyone knows he won't live past twenty-five, but now that he's recovered, we still need to inform the Emperor. Otherwise, the Emperor might think he only has two years left and make arrangements in advance, which would be awkward.

By bringing this up, he meant that he was going to ask Miss Qin to help his father with his health.

He knew that people's hearts were complicated, especially since they were not simply father and son. But thinking carefully about the love his father had shown him since birth, he couldn't just sit idly by and watch the other person die.

As for what happened later, he was confident that as long as he had a good body, what was his would still be his.

The next day, Pei Ling approached Azhen, asking her to help the emperor improve his health. He said she could name any conditions she could meet.

"Let's owe it for now," Azhen said. This life's mission doesn't involve court intrigue. With Pei Ling around, and Pei Hui having already experienced those things, it's impossible for him to ascend to that position again.

There's really nothing that Pei Ling needs to do right now.

“If I make a move, your father will live for at least ten more years. Aren’t you afraid?” Azhen asked.

Pei Ling laughed and said, "I lost my mother at birth. If it weren't for my father, I wouldn't be alive today. I can't just watch him die."

"As for the future, we'll see. At least for now, I don't want this to become a regret."

Azhen quickly entered the palace, took the emperor's pulse, and then prescribed medicine to regulate his body. In less than half a month, the emperor's health improved significantly.

Seeing his once sickly son standing beside him, his face now flushed, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. He was indeed the son he had raised with his own hands, and all the effort he had put into this son had not been in vain.

In fact, the Crown Prince could have kept everything a secret. Given the other party's abilities, even if he made other arrangements, his other sons would not be able to compete with the Crown Prince.

"Your Highness, now that you are fully recovered, you will have to put more effort into your duties in the court."

Now that your son is better, there's no need to be so careful around him anymore; it's time to get back to work.

Pei Ling was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In truth, with his father still alive, he wasn't in a hurry to take the throne. His previous concern was that his father might have other ideas, which could damage their father-son relationship. Now it seems, his father is still the same father.

Recently, there has been a lot of turmoil in the court. First of all, the sickly crown prince has recovered, and the emperor has delegated most of the power to the crown prince.

Pei Hui, who originally thought that being reborn would give him control over everything, was completely incredulous after learning about this.

how could this be?

However, given his current situation, no matter how unwilling he is, he can't go out and do anything. Compared to a few months ago, he now doesn't dare to step out of the house and can only hide in his room, fuming.

He did make other arrangements to cause trouble for the Crown Prince, but unfortunately, the other party easily deflected them, leaving him helpless.

The most important factor is his father's attitude; the Crown Prince's current power is all permitted by his father.

How could this be?
Pei Hui slammed his fist on the table, then felt unwell and had to compose himself. Could the Crown Prince be the one plotting against him? Pei Hui suddenly wondered.

Cui Ying has been doing well lately. She doesn't stay in the courtyard all day; Azhen often accompanies her out for walks.

Cui Ying never imagined that she could live such a comfortable life. In just a few days, she had almost forgotten what it was like to suffer.

As for the Qin family, Azhen didn't inquire about them.

Now that they've all come to the capital, what kind of life the Qin family will lead in the future is up to them.

They haven't met recently, so they don't know what's going on with the Qin family.

Cui Ying, however, suddenly remembered the Qin family and asked, "I wonder how the Qin family is doing now?"

“If Mother wants to know, just send someone to inquire,” Azhen said. “If Mother wants to do anything with the people in this house, just tell them.”

Through inquiries, Azhen also learned about the current situation of the Qin family.

It turned out that Pei Hui had been claiming illness for several months, and many people were curious about what was wrong with him, especially his brothers. Many knew that Pei Hui had brought the Qin family to the capital, so they inquired about them. Given the Qin family's situation, it was indeed very easy to find out.

The Qin family was unaware of the inside story, and those people didn't get any information out of them.

Thanks to the Seventh Prince, the Qin family lived a relatively comfortable life.

Since the Crown Prince recovered from his illness, things have changed somewhat. With the Crown Prince around, what role does the Seventh Prince play? Those who used to curry favor with the Qin family are no longer as enthusiastic.

Even so, the Seventh Prince is still the Seventh Prince, and some people still want to take a gamble. Of course, at this time, those who chose the Qin family were all from small and insignificant families in the capital.

The Qin family wanted to choose someone better, but unfortunately they didn't have the ability.

Qin Shanjie's marriage was arranged in advance. Qin Yunshu was still young and had a talent for studying, so there was no rush. Even though there were quite a few suitors who valued Qin Yunshu's academic abilities, the Qin family rejected them all.

After obtaining the title of Xiucai, Qin Yunshu tried to take the Juren exam, but failed and had to give up for the time being.

Now that he's in the capital, Qin Yunshu is somewhat dazzled by its prosperity. In the past, if someone came to propose marriage now, he would definitely have agreed.

That day, Pei Ling came to Azhen's house again, looking at her with a look of surprise.

Upon seeing this, Azhen realized that the other party had discovered Pei Hui's secret.

“It wasn’t easy to figure it out before; my seventh brother is truly remarkable. But this time it was a coincidence that Doctor Ye has returned.” After saying that, Pei Ling asked Azhen in a complicated tone, “How exactly did they offend Miss Qin?”

This incident also taught him that he should never offend a mysterious and unpredictable master.

Jiang Xun, who was sitting to the side, was already thinking about settling his score with Ye Shuangzhou when he heard that Ye Shuangzhou had returned. But when he heard Pei Ling's words, he sensed that something was going on and suppressed his urge to go find Ye Shuangzhou.

Azhen took a sip of tea and said slowly, "They offended me thoroughly, so this is just an eye for an eye."

"So what is it?" Jiang Xun asked curiously.

Pei Ling shook her head: "You probably don't want to know."

"Dr. Jiang, you mustn't offend Miss Qin in the future." Pei Ling patted Jiang Xun as they left the house.

He would simply show respect to those who were highly skilled, but Jiang Xun, who frequently lingered around Miss Qin, was in greater danger.

Jiang Xun:......

So what exactly did she do to Pei Hui and Ye Shuangzhou?
Unfortunately, Pei Ling remained silent and quickly boarded the carriage.

Fine, he can go see for himself. He's going to get revenge on Ye Shuangzhou anyway. (End of Chapter)
