The soft-waisted princess was pinched and pampered by the ascetic prince after her rebirth

Chapter 557: Capturing the Emperor’s Heart is the Best Strategy

When Emperor Yong'an heard that Lu Huaining fainted, he rushed over anxiously.

As soon as Emperor Yong'an entered the room, he saw that Lu Huaining's face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood, and his body was so thin that it seemed as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

Seeing this, Emperor Yong'an's heart was struck hard, and he quickly asked: "How is Prince Ning?"

Shen Ruzhou took a step forward, knelt down and saluted, with a hint of worry in his voice, "Your Majesty, Prince Ning was overly sad and had not had any water or rice for two days. His body was weak, so he fainted."

"Why is this so?" Emperor Yong'an raised his eyebrows, confused.

Shen Ruzhou explained: "Previously, King Ning was personally taught by the Supreme Emperor, and he was very grateful for his kindness. Now that Prince Ning has returned home, the Supreme Emperor has passed away. He was so sad that he gave up his life. He was barely holding on, how could he withstand it? Several hours of kneeling as punishment.”

Emperor Yong'an was well aware of Shen Ruzhou's superb medical skills, so he naturally had no doubts about her diagnosis. Seeing Lu Huaining's haggard appearance, he felt even more guilty.

This was his son who had been left behind for twelve years. Now he finally recognized his ancestor and returned to his family, but he himself imposed such a heavy punishment on him just because of a few words of impeachment.

Emperor Yong'an sat on the edge of the bed and remained silent for a long time. Shen Ruzhou went outside to prepare a medicinal soup and brought it in. He was about to feed it to Lu Huaining, but Emperor Yong'an stopped him and said, "Let me do it."

While he was talking, Emperor Yong'an had already taken the medicine bowl and carefully fed it to Lu Huaining one spoonful at a time.

The emperor personally fed him the decoction. No one in the palace had ever enjoyed such an honor.

Shen Ruzhou deliberately did not let the palace maids and eunuchs retire, in order to let everyone in the palace see how much Emperor Yong'an loved Lu Huaining. In this way, the whole court would soon know that Prince Ning was the person Emperor Yong'an cared about most. .

Even if someone finds fault with him in the future and wants to write a letter to impeach him, he still has to think carefully.

After Emperor Yong'an gave him the medicine, he told Shen Ruzhou to take good care of him before leaving.

Hong Xi had been standing by, watching Emperor Yong'an leave the Changle Palace, and then his tense body dared to relax. He waved his hand for the palace maids and eunuchs to leave, then carefully closed the door, and smiled slyly at Shen Ruzhou, " You can take care of this bastard."

Hearing this, Shen Ruzhou chuckled lightly, raised his hand to shine on Lu Huaining's head and received a violent shudder.

"I pretended to be dizzy without saying anything in advance. Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise the secret would have been exposed."

Lu Huaining covered his head, his eyebrows knitting together in pain.

"Beautiful sister is so smart, you will definitely be able to see through my little tricks right away." Lu Huaining said with a smile.

"It's indeed a little trick." Hong Xi couldn't help laughing, his tone full of sarcasm, "You're such an adult and you're going to play a trick to win sympathy by pretending to be pitiful?"

Lu Huaining glared at Hong Xi angrily, and explained with a serious face, "The emperor's favor is support and power, do you understand? I have just come back now, so it is not easy to compete with Xiao Chenyan for power and capture the emperor's heart. It’s the best policy.”

Hearing what he said, Shen Ruzhou nodded in agreement, "Huaining, you did the right thing. It seems that your master's cultivation of you over the years has not been in vain."

After receiving the compliment, Lu Huaining's eyebrows rose, showing joy. He raised his chin towards Hong Xi and said, "Did you hear that? My pretty sister said I did a good job."

"Yes, Prince Ning has a brilliant plan, I admire him." Hong Xi bowed his hands to Lu Huaining in a dignified manner.

Hong Xi grew up in the mountains and didn't understand the intrigues of these royal families. He just felt that the twists and turns here really gave him a headache.

The key was about to fall in the palace, Shen Ruzhou did not dare to stay longer, left some medicine and left in a hurry.

When she returned to the hospital and saw the lights on in the bedroom, Shen Ruzhou felt warm in her heart. She knew that Beixiu Yan had returned.

Shen Ruzhou raised his hands to straighten his hair and straighten his clothes, then opened the door and went in.

Beixiu Yan was sitting on the soft couch, holding a book of "Hundred Medicines" in his hand and reading it with gusto.

He looked focused, and from time to time he would pick up a pen to make some marks on it. He didn't realize it until Shen Ruzhou walked up to him.

"When did the prince become so interested in medical books?" Shen Ruzhou said with a teasing smile. In the past, she had only seen Beixiu Yan reading documents and military newspapers. How could she spend her time studying other things.

Bei Xiuyan put his arm around her and sat down, and said warmly, "In the future, I won't have to participate in political and military affairs. I will have a lot of time, so I can learn some medical science and help you run the medical clinic."

"Your Majesty, are you going to stay in the hospital?"

"Yes, can I pretend to be your buddy and help you at the hospital?"

Hearing this, Shen Ruzhou was shocked. She thought that Bei Xiuyan would always find a way to reveal his life experience and continue to be the regent, but she never thought that he would actually do this.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Ruzhou told Beixiu Yan what happened in the palace today. Seeing that he didn't say anything after listening, Shen Ruzhou pushed him gently and asked with concern: "Huaining has become Prince Ning now. , does the prince really trust him to deal with Xiao Chenyan alone?"

Bei Xiuyan raised his head, glanced at her lightly, and said firmly: "Ruzhou, Huaining will grow up. If he can't defeat Xiao Chenyan, even if I help him ascend to the throne, he will not be able to conquer the world." I can't sit still." How could Shen Ruzhou not understand these truths? It's just that Xiao Chenyan has been planning for many years to seize the throne and has many party members, so Huaining is no match for him.

"Huaining may be able to handle trivial matters, but he is afraid that Xiao Chenyan will be cruel. My lord, you have not shown up for so long, and your military power has been lost. And Xiao Chenyan has tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, so we have to guard against him."

Hearing this, Beixiu Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. He put down the tea cup in his hand and said slowly: "I have contacted the old ministry. If there is a change, I will raise troops to force the palace."
