The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Chapter 1169: Courting Death, Burning Industry

At noon that day, in Lanyue Palace, Ye Chuhe took some pills with warm water, and then drank a bowl of steaming hot medicine. According to Yun Mujiu, this treatment method is a combination of Chinese and Western medicine, and the treatment effect will be more significant.

Imperial Concubine Yu was sitting nearby, and as they chatted they brought up the emperor's illness, and Ye Chufeng became the center of attention.

Ye Chuhe wiped the corners of his lips with a white handkerchief and gently comforted the indignant Concubine Yu.

"Mother, my seventh brother didn't do anything, so just let him be. Besides, we can't go to visit our father, so it's good to have my seventh brother serve on our behalf."

When Concubine Yu saw Ye Chuhe's gentle attitude, she sighed softly. Well, her son was just kinder than others.

In the blink of an eye, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across her watery eyes.

If the Seventh Prince dared to stand in the way of them, she wouldn't mind sending him to see the musician who was murdered! It would be good for the mother and son to be reunited on the road to the underworld.

In Ningxiang Palace, Concubine Liang looked at Prince Di with a distressed look on her face, and said indignantly: "Don't worry, Chu Di, your mother will definitely find that person for you."

Just as King Di was about to speak, his lips twitched in pain. He nodded sharply, his eyes full of resentment.

He had some doubts about whether the female doctor he met was the man's wife. The man was cruel and ruthless, how could he be worthy of the fairy-like, kind and gentle female doctor!

He thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to tell Concubine Liang his feelings. It was inconvenient to talk about such private matters with his mother.

"Don't worry, mother. I can find them by myself." Prince Di vowed.

Concubine Liang smiled kindly, turned around, took a plate of exquisite pastries from the tray in the maid's hand, and placed it on the ebony square table.

"Eat quickly. This is your favorite food. Mother prepared it especially for you."

"Thank you, mother." King Di pulled the corner of his mouth, wanting to laugh but unable to. His face was hit too hard by the man's palm wind. Even if he stretched out his hand to block it, he couldn't stop the sharp palm wind that contained deep internal strength, and it also injured his face, with deep bruises in several places. What's more serious is that his internal organs were also injured.

The mother and son had a brief discussion, discussing the emperor's recent physical condition and also mentioned the status of the seventh prince Ye Chufeng.

When Ye Chufeng was mentioned, King Di's expression immediately turned ugly.

A few days ago, when he was about to leave the palace, he also ran into the drunk Ye Chufeng in the imperial garden. At that time, Ye Chufeng still gave him the impression of the lazy, lazy, and useless prince.

However, now Ye Chufeng was the only one who could be close to his father's sickbed. How could he look at the so-called seventh brother whom he always looked down upon with a friendly face?

He gritted his teeth and said, "He hid it very well!"

Concubine Liang chuckled and said contemptuously, "Chu Di, what ability does he have? He is useless. He is just relying on a few flattering words to make your father pay a little attention to him."

What does the Seventh Prince have to hide? He is just a useless person and nothing to be afraid of. They don't need to worry.

The impulsive King Di also realized this. What strength and backing could Ye Chufeng have? He really couldn't keep his temper. How could he be so angry and jealous just because Ye Chufeng was a little more successful?

In his eyes, Ye Chufeng had never been a competitor who needed his attention. He was powerful and influential. If he took a person like that seriously, wouldn't it be an insult to his own power and prestige?

King Di adjusted his mood and hid the jealousy and resentment on his face.

Putting aside the topic of Ye Chufeng, the two returned to the conversation about the emperor's physical condition.

From the tense situation at the Imperial Hospital, they could also sense that the Emperor's health crisis could not be resolved in a short period of time. In other words, the Emperor's condition was very difficult, and when the Emperor's life was in danger, it would inevitably affect the harem and the court, causing unrest.

They all have to be careful, as the critical stage of the struggle for power has arrived.

Concubine Liang and Prince Di wanted to show their affection to the emperor, but they were always politely turned away. At present, no one knew the emperor's health except for his confidants and Doctor Shi and his group.

Concubine Liang raised her bright eyes and a plan came to her mind.

"Chu Di, you should find more opportunities to show off in front of your father." She raised her red lips and made a specific suggestion: "Perhaps, you can make use of the Seventh Prince?"

King Di's thick eyebrows moved, and he quickly understood. He nodded, with a hint of viciousness in his eyes.

While enduring the discomfort in his body, he slowly ate a piece of cake, and heard Concubine Liang say, "How is our family's property?"

Prince Di said angrily, "Mother, I have not yet found out which force attacked us."

"That's fine." Concubine Liang spoke quietly, and then said, "Maybe it's just normal business competition. Besides, the operating conditions of an industry are bound to be good and bad."

What Prince Di and Concubine Liang didn't know was that their line's business was mainly suppressed by the Night King, and with the Seventh Prince giving them small blows from time to time, they were gradually losing the upper hand.

At this point, since they could not find out who had committed the crime, they could only give up, thinking that it was just other potential competitors competing with them for business, and that their business operations had entered a normal decline phase of their development cycle.

Of course, King Di was not so stupid as to be ignorant of everything. He had investigated with his staff and found that it seemed that a competitor was hinting at warnings against them. However, after weighing the pros and cons, he did not intend to be more low-key and honest in the future. Instead, he wanted to make a big fuss.

In other words, the second prince Ye Chudi still wanted to die. The predictable King Ye also knew this...

In the incense-filled Ningxiang Palace, Concubine Liang and Prince Di were sitting on the couch in a leisurely manner, drinking tea and eating snacks. They were also planning what they wanted to do recently from time to time.

At this time, King Di had already forgotten how many things he had been involved in since he returned to Zhongyue from the northern border.

Such as Ye Xiaohan going north to hunt down the enemy's spies, Ye Xiaohan capturing the prince of Nantai alive, the Ling family from the northern border coming to Beijing to take back the third son of Ling, and Yun Mujiu who wanted to visit Ye Xiaohan, the disputes between Ye Xiaohan and the emperor in public and in private... Even when it came to matters involving Yun Mujiu, King Di wanted to get involved and frequently tried to contact Yun Mujiu, and just now he offended Ye Xiaohan in the garden because he wanted to keep the female doctor Yun Mujiu...

Prince Di was feeling relaxed and complacent for a short while when a palace servant came hurriedly to report the news.

"Empress Liang, His Royal Highness Prince Di, something bad has happened! Our business in Beijing suffered a severe blow early this morning, and countless shops were burned down!"

"What!" Concubine Liang and Prince Di were horrified.

"What's the situation?" King Di asked anxiously with trembling lips.

"It was all burned to ashes!"

"Plop!" King Di's blood boiled and he fainted from anger.
