Buddhist Miracle Doctor: The Dark Prince, Can't Get Rid of Him

Zhou Ying was walking in a hurry when suddenly a door of a restaurant on the street was moved open, and a group of people rushed out and surrounded him.

He looked him up and down, sizing him up.

"My Lords, what is this?" Zhou Ying was startled, but he couldn't get angry.

"Your Highness, have you noticed any abnormal behavior from the people of Yan?" a minister asked nervously.

"Lord Yin, no." Zhou Ying said patiently.

Obviously, the lords did not believe his words; "Then why is Your Highness in such a hurry?

Zhou Ying sighed, "I didn't sleep well last night. Duke Xue's men snored and it was really noisy. So, I want to catch up on some sleep after I come back to see my mother."

"That's it?" Several adults still didn't believe it.

Zhou Ying didn't want to waste time explaining further, as he recognized that these were the people who had advised his father to take action against the wife of Duke Xue on the city wall the previous afternoon.

Although their proposal was also for Xi Xiang's own good, Zhou Ying felt that it was not fair to attack a woman.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. The ministers should go back and wash up and prepare for the morning court." After saying that, Zhou Ying ran away.

The ministers who were left looking at each other in dismay didn't know if it was their illusion, but they always felt that the Ninth Prince seemed to have something against them.

When the imperial guards outside the palace gate saw Zhou Ying, no one asked any questions and quickly opened the palace gate.

Outside the emperor's bedroom, Shangguan Xia, who had woken up early, was just outside the door telling the palace maids and eunuchs to be careful.

It would also allow the emperor to sleep more.

As for whether it would delay the morning court session, she didn't care.

Last night, she, who had married the emperor, heard the emperor say "you and I are husband and wife" for the first time, and Shangguan Xia has been happy ever since.

"Mother." Shangguan Xia had just turned around and entered the hall when she heard someone calling her affectionately from behind.

"Ying'er." Shangguan Xia was so excited when she heard the familiar voice that she forgot about what she had just told her subordinates to be careful and not make any noise.

"Your son greets the Queen Mother and pays his respects." The scene of parting with his mother before leaving Xixiang was still vivid in Zhou Ying's mind. His eyes immediately turned red and he knelt down.

"My son, get up quickly and let your mother take a good look at you." Shangguan Xia also shed tears of joy and helped her son up.

How come, it seems just like what Zhou Zhi said, this son who fled from Xixiang, suffered hardship outside and was caught, really didn't lose weight!

His face looked pretty good. Shangguan Xia looked at her son in disbelief, whom she had never seen again in this life.

"Is that Xiaojiu? Come in and talk." The mother and daughter were looking at each other when a greeting came from inside the hall.

The two of them responded quickly and walked inside.

The palace maids also hurriedly brought in water for washing and helped the emperor clean the leak.

"Your son greets His Majesty." Zhou Ying stepped forward and bowed.

After washing up and changing into the dragon robe, he sat down. "I was careless yesterday afternoon. I should have arranged for a few more people to accompany you. You must not have slept well last night. Eat something later, wash up and have a good sleep."

Zhou Ying was very happy to see that his father cared so much about him. "Thank you, father. I did not sleep well. Duke Xue's men snored loudly, which made me sleep poorly. That's why I wanted to come back to catch up on some sleep before leaving."

"Otherwise, you should not go and let your father send someone else instead." Shangguan Xia said with concern.

Zhou Ying immediately shook his head; "Forget it, I am more familiar with them, so it is more appropriate for me to go."

After saying this, Zhou Ying looked at his father. Why didn't his father ask him about the situation of the Yan Guo soldiers?

"Let's have breakfast together and sleep until noon before going out." Zhou Hong said.

Soon, breakfast was delivered from the imperial kitchen. The palace maid serving the Queen had said that the Ninth Prince had returned and would have breakfast with the Emperor and the Queen, so an extra set of bowls and chopsticks were prepared.

Eunuch Chen also washed his hands and came in to help the emperor serve the food. Zhou Ying sat next to Shangguan Xia and suddenly thought of something. He took out a lotus leaf bag from his sleeve pocket.

"What is this?" Shangguan Xia asked curiously.

"Mother, this is called dried vegetable duck, it's delicious. I waited until they fell asleep last night and went to the kitchen to get it. I wanted to give it to mother, mother, and father to try." Zhou Ying said as he carefully opened the lotus leaf package, which was wrapped in several layers.

Shangguan Xia was very touched. She saw how much her son thought about her and never forgot to bring back delicious food for her to try.

"My son said it was delicious, so it must be delicious." Shangguan Xia said happily.

Zhou Hong's face looked a little unhappy. His son was a prince, but he actually went to someone else's kitchen to get food?

It sounds like taking, but it's actually stealing!

Originally this child was considered to be steady, but how come after being on the run for a few days, he became like this? This is too exaggerated!

The lotus leaf bag finally opened the last layer, revealing the contents. What was that? It was all black and chunky.

Is this due to the cook's carelessness? Is it burnt?

Zhou Hong looked away with disgust, and told himself to stay calm and not lose his temper with his son.

It wasn't easy for this son either. He must have suffered a lot and gone hungry outside.

No, I don’t think I’ve lost that much weight!

"Father, this dish is said to be delicious even when it's cold. Please try a piece first." Zhou Ying wasn't sure whether his father would eat it, but he had to serve it to him first.

Unexpectedly, just as I picked up the chopsticks, my father stopped me from eating. "I don't want to eat it."

Zhou Ying said "oh" but didn't seem disappointed. He changed the direction of the chopsticks in his hand and put them into the bowl of rice in front of his mother.

He even used a stick to cover the rice in the bowl with the dried duck that his father disliked, muttering, "Tuzi said it tastes better this way, I don't know if he's kidding me."

Not sure you still believe?

Zhou Hong and the eunuch Chen beside him looked at Zhou Ying in silence.

It wasn't long after he escaped, and such a well-educated prince ended up like this.

"Mother, mother, it's almost done. You should try it quickly. Tuzi said that his wife taught the chef how to make this dish, and the black pickled plums on top were also made by his wife and them. She also said that this was made of wisteria flowers." Zhou Ying urged excitedly.

"Who is Tuzi?" Zhou Hong couldn't help but asked.

"Well, I'm Madam Xue Wenyu's coachman." Zhou Ying answered casually.

"Ahem." Zhou Hong, who had just taken a sip of pigeon soup, was immediately shocked by his son's words.

"Who is Tuzi?" Zhou Hong couldn't help but asked.

"Well, I'm Madam Xue Wenyu's coachman." Zhou Ying answered casually.

"Cough cough cough." Zhou Hong, who took a sip of pigeon soup, was immediately touched by his son's words.

What the hell is going on? How can a prince's son be so familiar with a coachman from Yan State?

"Mother, eat it. After I got it, I ate another piece. It's really not poisonous. Look, I'm fine." After replying to his father's words, Zhou Ying turned around and saw his mother still picking at the dried duck with chopsticks.

Because he saw that his father and Eunuch Chen didn't want his mother to eat it, probably because they were afraid that the people of Yan would poison it...
