From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 40 Bad practice
Bang! !

East Palace
Li Chengqian's figure flashed, and then he sat down on the ground with a plop. His face turned visibly pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He collapsed to the ground, looking haggard.

"hiss!!"

Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief after spurting out a mouthful of blood. He felt that every part of his body was uncomfortable and painful.

His head felt like a mess and he couldn't think straight. He used his arms to prop up his body as if he wanted to stand up, but he felt so weak that all his strength drained away. He fell backwards and lost consciousness.

"Your Highness—"

A sharp scream pierced the quiet night sky, breaking the darkness of Kyoto.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

"Your Highness!"

"Oh no, something happened to His Highness."

"It's a disaster, it's a disaster..."

"Assassin, there is an assassin!"

…………

……

After the first scream, the East Palace became a commotion.

Screaming, wailing, roaring—

There were shadowy figures walking hurriedly, and many of them were frightened.

half an hour later
People kneeling on the ground outside Li Chengqian's bedroom

From Guo Baokun, Qin Yuan, and other attendants to eunuchs and palace maids
Everyone lowered their heads, trembling with fear and saying nothing.

Teams of imperial guards have surrounded the East Palace, their faces stern and their spears in hand.
The atmosphere was depressing to the extreme.

In the bedroom, Li Chengqian was lying on the bed, his face pale and his breath barely ebbing.

The imperial physician ordered Guo Cheng to sit in front of the bed and take the patient's pulse with a serious expression.

The queen looked anxious and couldn't sit still. She kept walking back and forth in the room, venting her anxiety.

Emperor Qing had a gloomy expression on his face. He sat beside the Imperial Physician, looking at Li Chengqian lying on the bed with a deep gaze, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time, Guo Chengzhang let out a sigh and took his hand away from Li Chengqian's pulse.

"how?"

"The internal organs are severely damaged, and the meridians are severely damaged, especially the blocked meridians in the legs. Even if they recover, I am afraid... I am afraid..."

Guo Cheng seemed a little hesitant and spoke hesitantly.

"What are you afraid of?" A cold light flashed in Emperor Qing's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a sinister aura. Guo Cheng shuddered suddenly, his heart felt weak, his legs became weak, and he sat down under the stool again.

"Ok?"

thump!
Guo Cheng's slightly obese body rolled off the stool and onto the ground, where he lay flat on his stomach with his head pressed firmly against the ground. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the meridians in your legs are severely damaged. I'm afraid, I'm afraid that you will have difficulty walking in the future."

"What?" Even though he was mentally prepared, Emperor Qing's heart still sank after hearing Guo Cheng's words.

The crown prince of a country is unable to walk.

How does this work?
He could almost see what kind of storm would arise in the Qing court and even among the people after this news was released.

"Cheng Qian!!"

The queen standing beside him was even more direct. As soon as Guo Cheng finished speaking, she wailed, threw herself in front of the bed, and cried bitterly.

For a moment, there was no other sound in the bedroom except the queen's crying.

The group of people kneeling outside the palace heard the wailing coming from the bedroom, and everyone's heart sank to the bottom.

This is……

The prince died?

So what do we do?
It’s over!!

Suddenly, everyone's faces turned pale and their bodies began to tremble. Some of the timid ones could not control themselves and became incontinent.

"Send the Queen back."

Inside the palace, Emperor Qing was troubled by the Queen's crying. There was a hint of annoyance in his eyes. "Take good care of her."

"Yes!"

Two frightened palace maids at the side immediately responded and walked carefully behind the queen. As soon as they touched the queen, the queen suddenly stood up and pushed the two away.

"Get out of here, I want to stay here with Cheng Qian."

Emperor Qing frowned and was about to scold, but Li Chengqian on the bed suddenly coughed twice, his body moved slightly, and his tightly closed eyelids trembled.

"Cheng Qian, Cheng Qian, you're awake. Are you okay? Are you okay?"

Li Chengqian opened his eyes and looked at the queen lying on top of him, in grief, yet still trying to comfort him. A wry smile appeared on his lips. He raised his hand with difficulty and gently patted the queen, saying, "Mother, it's okay. Ahem, ahem, I, I was just careless for a moment."

"Careless? How careless? Was he assassinated, poisoned, or for some other reason?"

Emperor Qing raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice. No one knew why Li Chengqian was suddenly severely injured.

The palace maid who first discovered that Li Chengqian was in trouble had been questioned countless times, but she couldn't explain it.

Judging from the injuries, they were extremely serious internal injuries. The imperial doctors concluded that the meridians were damaged due to excessive practice of qigong, but what kind of qigong was he practicing?

Li Chengqian studied under Gong Dian and practiced the Ye Liuyun school of martial arts. His strength was low, so there was no possibility of him going astray!
There needs to be an explanation as to why someone suddenly became obsessed.

The most important thing is that the injury to Li Chengqian's meridians reminded him of some not-so-good memories.

So, he has a lot of questions now.

"Mother, please go back first. I have something to tell Father, ahem, ahem..."

"Cheng Qian..."

"I'm fine, mother." Li Chengqian gently patted the queen's hand and comforted her with kind words. Only then was the queen reluctantly persuaded by him.

Seeing the Queen leave, Li Chengqian finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Emperor Qing, "Father, let them all go."

Emperor Qing waved his hand and the bedroom was cleared.

After everyone left, Li Chengqian smiled helplessly, "It's embarrassing to say, but this is really no one else's business. My son was too eager for quick success and instant benefits during his cultivation, and his Qi flow became chaotic, leading to his becoming possessed."

"Do you know what you're talking about? You're the prince, and you're going crazy practicing magic. Who would believe it?"

"I acknowledge my guilt!" Li Chengqian sighed softly and admitted his mistake decisively. "But this is the truth. I was overconfident. I considered myself a martial arts genius and wanted to carve out a path for myself to become a Grandmaster. I was careless."

Emperor Qing's breathing stopped, and he was so angry that he couldn't even curse.

※※※

The prince is seriously injured and may not be able to travel in the future.

His Majesty stayed in the East Palace for half an hour. When he came out, his face was full of anger and he left in a huff.

The attendants and servants of the Eastern Palace were all demoted three levels.

The personal attendant Mao Qiwu, the tutor Guo Baokun, and the guard commander Qin Yuan were all given sixty strokes of the cane. The rest of the guards were demoted three ranks and retained. A group of the lowest-ranking eunuchs, maids, and servants were all punished...

It is said that after His Majesty returned to the palace, he was still angry and smashed a teacup and punished two eunuchs.

All this was like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake, causing huge waves in Kyoto, the court, and even the entire Daqing.

This is no longer an undercurrent, it is a storm that is sweeping in, and the impact is clearly visible and vivid.

The most obvious sign was that the gate of the Second Prince's residence was almost broken down by people, and the alley was so crowded with cars every day that the road was blocked.

As a result, the second prince ran to the palace to confess his crime the next day, and then returned to his mansion and stayed indoors. But even so, he could not stop the enthusiasm of the idiots.

"Qishan Academy, Jiangnan Academy, what a big move! I'm not dead yet!!"

In the palace, Emperor Qing smashed a teacup again and was extremely angry.

He was angry.

But what made him angry was not the affairs in the court, but his eldest son.

"How the hell did I give birth to such a son?"

Thinking of the conversation in the prince's bedroom three days ago, even though he was a grandmaster, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

“I’m a genius!”

"A true martial arts genius."

"I have nothing to do, so I want to open up a smooth path for myself to become a Grandmaster."

"It's just a moment of carelessness. It's okay. Once I recover, everything will be fine."

"What? You don't believe it? Well, I understand. How can mortals like you possibly understand the greatness of a genius?"

And that look of disgust that says "Get out of here right now and don't interfere with me practicing my peerless martial arts"!

………………

……

How frivolous! How can you carry on the great cause if you are so frivolous?

Thinking of the prince's frivolous tone and ignorant attitude, he became very angry.

Although, he has never been very satisfied with this prince.

But he is not in a hurry because he is still young and has plenty of time.

It really won’t work. Just replace him in the future.

Anyway, the purpose of establishing a crown prince was just to stabilize the government.

However, even so, he had carefully trained this prince, and trained him completely according to the model of an heir. He never expected that the final result would be like this. It was really disappointing.

However, this is also good. I can take this opportunity to take a good look at the current situation in the court, to see who is useful, who has ambitions, and who...

But he didn't expect that the court would change so quickly. The previous prince hadn't fallen yet, and he, the emperor, was only in his thirties, but they had already started thinking about the merits of following the emperor. Did they treat him as a dead man?
