After the prince was able to travel through time, he stopped rolling!

At this moment, Xuanyuan Ruize, who escaped the disaster and returned to the palace, had only one thought in his mind: whoever wants to be the crown prince can be the crown prince!

After returning to the palace, Xuanyuan Ruize directly turned on the "lying down mode" - he didn't care about anything, didn't ask anything, and every day, apart from quietly recovering from his injuries, he was thinking about how to give away the position of crown prince. That's right, give it away! He just wanted to be a happy prince, how wonderful that life would be!

Today, Xuanyuan Ruize has been completely led astray by Sang Chi, but no one knows about it yet.

During the three days when he was assassinated and disappeared, the emperor was very angry and punished a large number of officials for various reasons. As a result, when the emperor was in court, the ministers did not dare to speak casually for fear of offending the emperor.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could not be found, these old ministers would probably be driven crazy. Fortunately, on the fourth day, Xuanyuan Ruize was finally brought back to the palace by the Imperial Guards. Everyone could finally breathe a sigh of relief!

However, what caught everyone off guard was that during the morning court session the next day after the young master returned, His Majesty the Emperor still cursed at all the ministers in the court, as if they had committed an unforgivable crime.

"Investigate, people from the Ministry of Justice, thoroughly investigate who dared to assassinate the prince!" Emperor Xuanyuan roared angrily.

He was so angry that his face turned red, veins popped out on his forehead, and his eyes were full of anger and majesty. The ministers were so scared that they dared not look up. The whole court was silent, with only the emperor's roar echoing.

Looking at Xuanyuan Ruize who was carried back to the palace, covered in blood, Emperor Xuanyuan was really angry. The world he ruled and the crown prince he designated were actually assassinated.

His eyes widened, filled with astonishment and anger. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, as if he wanted to release the anger in his heart in this way.

Perhaps it was because seeing Xuanyuan Ruize covered in blood touched the fatherly love deep in Emperor Xuanyuan's heart. Or maybe it was because his authority was challenged and his son was assassinated, which made him feel extremely angry and humiliated.

In short, everyone knew that the Emperor was not to be messed with these days, and many people speculated whether the Crown Prince was dying. After all, the injury was so severe that even the imperial physician could not guarantee that the Crown Prince's life could be saved.

For a time, the court was in a panic, fearing that they would offend the emperor and bring themselves to death. And those who were dissatisfied with the prince on weekdays could only bury their thoughts deep in their hearts and dare not show them at all.

"Your Majesty, I just saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince being carried back to the palace, his body covered in blood. All the capable doctors in the Imperial Hospital have gone to the Crown Prince's bedroom."

The eunuchs beside Concubine Wu were always watching the prince's every move. Concubine Wu was the biological mother of the Seventh Prince. Although the Seventh Prince was young, he had already begun to covet the position of Crown Prince. It was originally thought that with Emperor Xuanyuan's favor for the Seventh Prince, he should be able to get the position of Crown Prince, but unexpectedly, it was the Sixth Prince Xuanyuan Ruize who became the Crown Prince.

When Concubine Wu learned that her son was not made the crown prince, she smashed everything in the room in anger. However, when she heard that Xuanyuan Ruize was injured, she was secretly happy and even hoped that he could not be saved or become disabled. In this way, her son, the Seventh Prince, would have a chance to ascend to the throne of the crown prince. Although she thought so in her heart, she could only bury these words deep in her heart and could not show them.

So, she pretended to be concerned and said to the maid beside her: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is injured. Go to the storehouse and get the 100-year-old ginseng that my father gave me, and then help me go to visit the Crown Prince."

Her voice was gentle, as if she was really worried about Xuanyuan Ruize's injury.

Those who don't know her true character may be deceived by her delicate appearance and think she is a kind and gentle woman.

But in fact, her heart was full of calculations and ambitions. The reason why she became the most favored concubine in the entire harem was naturally because of her means and schemes.

"But, Madam, the Crown Prince's palace is in chaos right now, and everyone who went to visit was blocked outside by His Majesty's men."

The little palace maid beside him reminded Concubine Wu and also reported the situation in the prince's bedroom to her.

"Your Majesty, please stop him. I will go and watch my own things. If I don't go, how can I show my love for my son? After all, the prince is half my son."

Concubine Wu had been eyeing the position of empress for a long time. Since the death of the prince's biological mother, Emperor Xuanyuan had not appointed a new empress. Concubine Wu was not the only concubine in the harem who had thoughts about it. When Concubine Wu arrived at the prince's bedroom, she found that the eldest prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince and the seven-year-old seventh prince had all arrived, but without exception they were stopped outside.

Seeing Concubine Wu coming, everyone hurriedly bowed and greeted: "How are you, Concubine?"

Concubine Wu nodded, and then asked them, "Your Highnesses, how is the prince doing now?"

"Your Majesty, it's still unclear at the moment. We only know that the imperial physicians are coming in and out, and the emperor has broken several teacups. I think Sixth Brother is in great danger this time..." The Second Prince guessed pretentiously.

Hearing him say this, the eldest prince quickly scolded: "Second brother, shut up! How can such words come out of your mouth?"

The second prince did not take it seriously and retorted: "Brother, am I wrong? If Sixth Brother's condition was not serious, why would the Emperor be so angry?"

The eldest prince frowned and said with displeasure: "Even if Sixth Brother is really seriously ill, we should not guess here. The most important thing now is to wait for the diagnosis results of the imperial physician." His voice was low and firm, as if telling everyone not to jump to conclusions.

The Third Prince and the Fourth Prince looked at each other and nodded in agreement. They both understood that at this critical moment, any words could cause unnecessary trouble.

Although other princes had the same idea in their hearts, no one dared to speak it out easily. After all, some words can only be kept in the heart. Once they are spread out, the consequences will be disastrous.

Concubine Wu looked at the princes, smiled slightly, and said nothing. Her eyes deliberately revealed a hint of worry, but she did not show excessive anxiety like others. On the contrary, she maintained a calm and composed attitude.

Since she couldn't enter the bedroom, Concubine Wu gave the ginseng she brought to the eunuchs and palace maids, asking them to help bring it in. These ginsengs were precious tonics, hoping that they would help the prince's injuries.

After doing all this, Concubine Wu turned and left, leaving the princes to continue waiting for news.

Her departure seemed to give some hint to other princes, and they followed suit, handing the gifts they brought to the eunuchs and palace maids, and then left silently.

Finally, only the eldest prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince were left. They stood there quietly, waiting for the doctor's diagnosis. As time passed, the atmosphere became more and more tense...
