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

Queen Shangguan Xia looked at Mu Yingbao. After all, she was the master of this big tent.

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, please come in." Mu Yingbao has already spoken.

Xun Ying, this young man, was very awkward before, but after he arrived in Xixiang, this kid's attitude towards the soldiers of Yan State has changed completely.

Tuzi and the others told Mu Yingbao that they liked the Ninth Prince more and more.

"Xun Ying greets the Madam." After Xun Ying came in, he bowed and greeted Mu Yingbao.

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, there is no room here, so why don't you sit over here?" Mu Yingbao asked with a smile.

"Okay." Xun Ying happily sat down on a chair beside her, glancing at the small square table in front of them.

Nanzhu stepped forward to help pour the tea and also brought a glass of salt to Xunying.

"Would Your Highness the Ninth Prince like some snacks?" Nanzhu asked softly.

"Thank you, but no thanks." Xun Ying responded politely.

In about half an hour, it will be time for lunch. If you eat snacks now, you won’t be able to eat the real food later.

Shangguan Xia looked at her son and then at Mu Yingbao. Xun Ying was her own son who had grown up in her presence. He was already thirteen years old this year.

However, after his son Xunying came back from Yanguo this time, he seemed like a different person.

Shangguan Xia began to doubt herself, is this really her son Xun Ying?

The biggest change is in her words and actions. How should she put it? She really couldn't think of a suitable word to describe it.

It was as if, before, Xunying was the same as other children, well-behaved and polite.

And now, just like the flowers in the flower bed, the vines are growing wildly and have grown out of the flower bed, but they are so full of vitality that people can't bear to trim them forcibly. I think it's good this way.

It is said that when a person's temperament changes drastically, it is most likely because he has encountered some major change, and generally it changes for the worse.

But Shangguan Xia felt that this son was much cuter than her previous obedient and polite son.

She is so cute that she would sneak into other people's kitchens and steal food for her to taste.

Although this behavior was very bad, Shangguan Xia felt very relieved and happy, and could not bear to scold or punish him.

In the imperial study of the Xixiang Palace, Emperor Zhou Hong has already decided that Duke Xue of Yan State will lead his troops to Linjing to meet up with Xixiang's troops and continue to recapture the city captured by Wu Yu.

Zhou Hong sat behind his desk, flipping through the book Zhouzhe in his hand, without even reading what was on it.

Eunuch Chen watched quietly from the side, unable to guess the Emperor's mood at the moment, and had no idea what he was thinking.

He was neither happy that the continued help of the Yan State troops could completely drive the Wuyu bandits out of Xixiang, nor was he worried about what the Yan State troops would do to Xixiang after defeating the Wuyu bandits. He also did not seem to be worried about what the Yan State troops would do to Xixiang after defeating the Wuyu bandits, and whether they would really return to Yan State after defeating the Wuyu bandits as they said.

Outside the imperial study, a group of ministers had been waiting for a long time and had not even gone back for lunch.

Several times they asked the young eunuch to check on His Majesty's mood. After the young eunuch poked his head inside the door, he always said to them, "No." Eunuch Chen gave them a warning expression several times.

The ministers dared not disturb him any more, for they heard from the servants around His Majesty that His Majesty had not even eaten a few bites of lunch.

Just when everyone was discussing how to let His Majesty meet them, Eunuch Chen came out and let them in.

"What can I do for you, my dear ministers?" Zhou Hong asked without turning his head as he stood in front of the bookshelf with his hands behind his back.

"Your Majesty, I learned that the Queen, Yu Guiru, and the three imperial concubines went to the Yanguo camp this morning and have not returned yet. I wonder if Your Majesty is worried about this?" a minister asked cautiously.

Zhou Hong turned around and looked at the person who had spoken. "The Queen had already sent someone back to inform us that it was Madam Xue who asked them to have dinner there. What is there to worry about?"

"Ahem, Your Majesty, the Queen's behavior is inappropriate. After all, she is the mother of our Xixiang country. It is already very risky to go to see Madam Xue, but why is she still staying there for dinner?"

"That's right, Your Majesty. Although Xue Wenyu has led his troops away from here, it doesn't mean that his wife is safe, right? Your Majesty, you must know about that incident. The former emperor of Yan State ended up being soaked in sewage after his death. The idea of ​​making him truly infamous for eternity was proposed by Xue Wenyu's wife.

The person who could come up with such a vicious idea was a young woman, which was enough to show that she was a very vicious person.

It started again, and started again. Zhou Hong looked at the ministers in front of him with worried faces and really didn't know what to say.

"Suddenly, why don't you issue an edict now, saying that there is an emergency to summon the Queen back to the palace. Let's see what happens. If the Queen comes back safely, it'll be good. Otherwise, Your Majesty will have to find a way to rescue the Queen as soon as possible." Seeing that the emperor was silent, he became anxious again.

Among the ministers who came in, there was the oldest one, the Minister of Rites. He was the only one who looked at the emperor without saying a word.

"Minister Fang, you've come in now, why don't you keep silent?" A colleague beside him reminded anxiously in a low voice.

The gray-haired Minister Fang shook his head and still looked at the emperor. He discovered a very serious problem, that is, His Majesty has become very abnormal and mysterious since the Ninth Prince led the troops of the Yan Kingdom and eliminated the danger in the capital.

That is, he was not happy about being able to repel the Wuyu bandits, nor was he worried about what the Yan Kingdom would do to Xi Xiang.

"My dear ministers, I would like to thank you for your concern on behalf of the Queen, but for now, you should focus on other things. For example, we should also take care of the various recovered areas, the repair of damaged cities, and the destroyed homes of the people.

Although the Wu Yu bandits have not been completely driven out yet, there is no suspense about this matter. We should quickly go to various places to check the condition of the granaries. If there is any, we should open the granaries and release the grain. We should also formulate tax reductions and exemptions to appease the people, which is the most important thing right now.

Okay, I'm a little tired, so I won't go to court in the afternoon, so everyone should leave." Zhou Hong said, no longer paying attention to the reactions of the crowd, and walked behind the bookshelf.

After hearing this, the adults naturally knew that what the emperor said made sense, but these things had already been done by other responsible adults.

"My lords, His Majesty has made it very clear. Please go back to your respective duties." Eunuch Chen simply persuaded and made a gesture of invitation. The ministers had no choice but to go out.

The imperial study was quiet again:, he ignored everyone's reactions and walked behind the bookshelf.

After hearing this, the adults naturally knew that what the emperor said made sense, but these things had already been done by other responsible adults.

"My lords, His Majesty has made it very clear. Please go back to your respective duties." Eunuch Chen simply persuaded and made a gesture of invitation. The ministers had no choice but to go out.

The imperial study was quiet again.

After a long while, Emperor Zhou Hong finally spoke up, "Tell me, what did Madam Xue mean? Why did she invite the Queen and the others to dinner? And what about the Queen? Why did she agree to it?"

Eunuch Chen tilted his head and thought seriously; "I think that Madam Xue's move might be to find out what His Majesty thinks of them through the Empress? And the reason why the Empress agreed to stay for lunch was because she had the same idea as her, and wanted to find out their true intentions through Madam Xue...
