The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

In fact, the Night King has always been the focus of attention in the capital, it is just a matter of ranking with other newly emerging hot events and hot figures.

Today, the topic concerning the Regent has been taken very seriously by everyone. The atmosphere in the capital was once tense and a slight disturbance would cause a group of people to panic, fearing that they would be criticized by some big shot again.

Lord Youming? I can’t afford to offend you!

Regent Zhongyue? How many lives do they have to provoke the giant dragon famous in Xingyue Continent!

...

Emperor Haolian didn't even bother to attend the morning court session. He stayed in bed to recuperate, with a group of imperial doctors surrounding his bed and guarding him.

He also didn't want the concubines and princes in the harem to visit him.

At this time, many people in the harem basically knew it clearly: the emperor was really sick, and the illness was very difficult to treat.

In front of the emperor's sickbed, only the seventh prince Ye Chufeng, who had always been ignored, could get close to him. For this reason, the harem staff began to pay attention to the seventh prince again, and their attitude towards him was also unusual, with unusual respect and flattery. Even officials from the previous dynasty wanted to show their intention to befriend the seventh prince.

The Queen sent people to notice the Seventh Prince's movements. The changes in expression on his dignified face were truly amazing.

She put down her hands that had just been painted with nail polish and raised her eyebrows.

"Empress, I didn't expect that the Seventh Prince is so capable and has won the attention of the Emperor. Now the Emperor has even allowed him to enter and leave the palace freely." Nanny Pei's tone carried a hint of disdain.

The Queen squinted her eyes and said arrogantly, "So what? The Seventh Prince has no power, no influence, no background, and he can't do much."

"Your Majesty, do you think the Emperor will really attach great importance to the Seventh Prince?" A trace of worry appeared on Nanny Pei's old face.

"Maybe." The queen seemed indifferent. She thought about the character of the man next to her and smiled coldly.

"What does it matter if I pay more attention to you? I know what kind of person the emperor is."

One of the reasons why the emperor suddenly asked the Seventh Prince to serve him closely was that he might have thought of the Seventh Prince's poor biological mother and developed a little pity for the Seventh Prince.

But what was the emperor's mercy? It was fleeting and useless.

To put it bluntly, the Emperor's feelings towards the Seventh Prince were not based on the deep regret and renewed cherishment that a father should have, but rather a strong desire to use the Seventh Prince.

If the Seventh Prince did nothing, the Queen believed that the Emperor would immediately abandon him. In fact, the Seventh Prince's fate would be even more tragic than it is now.

Now that the Queen's confidants knew that the Emperor was using the Seventh Prince, their worries dissipated.

A palace maid said flatteringly: "Empress, it seems that the Seventh Prince is nothing to be afraid of. Of course, he will not affect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The queen raised her eyebrows and threw a teacup at the maid, scaring her so much that she knelt down and begged for mercy.

Nanny Pei went up and slapped her, whispering to the terrified maid, "Don't mention the Crown Prince casually. Have you forgotten this rule?"

The queen withdrew her hand, looking dignified and proper, as if she was not the one who hit the person so fiercely.

Nanny Pei was secretly glad that she did not mention the prince, otherwise she would have suffered the Queen's wrath as well.

Speaking of which, the Queen has been very disappointed with the Crown Prince recently. The Crown Prince has done many stupid things this year, which has implicated the Queen and the Jing family. Now, after an unexpected carriage rollover, his already weak body has been completely ruined. Not only is he impotent, but he can't even go out for a walk.

The queen once sent someone to find a miracle doctor for the prince, but to no avail. Instead, the prince's health got worse and worse.

As the queen, she had countless responsibilities on her shoulders. The affairs of the crown prince were enough to worry her, and she also had the harem's official business and, more importantly, her own personal affairs to deal with.

For this reason, she has not paid much attention to the health of her prince recently.

Deep down, I don't really value the prince, but I still have to show some attitude towards him.

In the eyes of outsiders, although the queen was very disappointed with the prince, she still cared about him. Otherwise, why would she insist on looking for a miracle doctor for him and find so many good medicines and send them to his residence?

The atmosphere in the palace filled with the scent of incense was very cold.

After a moment, the queen asked the little palace maid to stand up. Half of her face was swollen and red, and she didn't dare to say anything more.

The queen turned around and summoned a guard. She had already found out that both Dutigu and Beihan had their miracle doctors come to the capital and stayed there for a while.

She asked the guards about the prince's condition and learned that the prince was fine and his health had not improved at all.

Nanny Pei, who was standing by, thought that the queen wanted to use the prince's case as an excuse to find a miracle doctor for her, so she asked, "Queen, how about I quietly find a miracle doctor for you to check your health?"

The Queen shook her head: "You know how my body is. There is no medicine to cure it, so why bother with this?"

Nanny Pei lowered her head and sighed. The Queen asked the guards, "Have you found the whereabouts of Beihan and Dr. Dudigu?"

"Your Majesty, I have found out where Divine Doctor Beihan is staying, but the exact whereabouts of Divine Doctor Dutigu is still unknown." The guard said in a low voice.

The Queen shook her head. "I don't trust Divine Doctor Beihan at all. Back then, Divine Doctor Wu, who was famous in the four countries, couldn't even match Yun Mujiu's finger."

"What's more, the Divine Doctor Wu from Beihan poisoned King Guo Ye. Prince, I don't trust people from Beihan."

Since the Beihan Divine Doctor we have found so far is useless, we can only rely on Dutigu and his group.

The guard continued, "Please give me some more time, Queen. I will find it as soon as possible and invite Dr. Dutigu to come."

It was not difficult to find someone, but the most difficult thing was to ask them to come out. Even if the group of people from Duti Valley appeared before their eyes, others could not use force to force them to act.

"Well, just do your best." The queen didn't say anything firm. Anyway, whether Ye Chuao was in good health or not was not that important. She was just pretending to find someone.

What the Queen and the others didn't know at this time was that they couldn't find Master Du and the others because they didn't try their best and didn't pay much attention. More importantly, it was because someone was secretly trying to stop them. Those people behind the scenes were the work of people from the Night Palace, and also the work of the prince they always looked down upon, the Seventh Prince...

Unlike the Queen, Concubine Yu was very concerned about her own son.

The Gao family found the Beihan Divine Doctor Team for her, but she didn't dare to use them. She did find out the approximate location where Du Guzhu and his group had appeared, and wanted to use a respectful way to welcome distinguished guests to attract them to come out for treatment.

But Ye Chuhe insisted not to look for other miracle doctors, but continued to take the medicine given by Yun Mujiu. Fortunately, those medicines were still effective. Ye Chuhe's legs, which had been disabled for many years, were gradually getting better. Sometimes he could even feel a slight sensation coming from his legs...

He thought that the day when he could successfully stand up would not be far away...
