The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

However, Xu Keke had not finished speaking yet.

Chu Musheng kissed her lips affectionately.

At this moment, words seemed pale and powerless, unable to express the emotions surging in their hearts.

Chu Musheng demonstrated his patience and strength through his actions.

Let Xu Keke deeply feel his love and persistence.

At first, Xu Ke responded quite happily.

Then she gradually felt tired.

However, Chu Musheng's enthusiasm never diminished. He hugged her tightly, his eyes flashing with strong possessiveness.

It was as if he wanted to engrave Xu Ke deeply into his life.

Until you are tired and fall asleep.

Chu Musheng then stood up and asked someone to bring him hot water.

Chu Musheng took a handkerchief and helped Xu Ke clean herself, and whispered in her ear.

"I'm sorry for causing trouble to my beloved concubine."

After everything was packed up, Chu Musheng fell asleep holding Xu Ke.

.......

When Xu Keke woke up, it was already noon and there was no one around him.

She closed her eyes and her memory quickly returned.

"Lord Dog, did you take the wrong medicine again last night?"

After Xu Ke finished complaining, he propped himself up and sat up.

The quilt slipped off, and seeing the obvious marks, she quickly covered it again.

"Someone is coming."

Yaju, the maid who does the dressing, came in.

"Princess, it's time to get up. I'll help you change clothes."

"Where is the prince?"

Xu Ke could cover himself more tightly.

"The prince went to the palace early in the morning. He said that you, Princess, were exhausted last night and ordered the servants not to disturb your rest."

Xu Ke is speechless.

Didn’t the prince think about this when he gave his servants these instructions?

What else could possibly tire me out this late at night?

The servants in the mansion all knew that the young master did not need the princess to take care of him.

Thinking of this, she thought of her good son.

"Where's the young master?"

Permission can be asked.

Yaju answered respectfully.

"Madame Wang, Sister Dingdang and Sister Anxiang are taking the young master to the front hall to practice walking, and the guards from the palace are also accompanying him."

Xu Ke nodded and finally felt relieved.

"Then help me change clothes and wash up first."

Yaju responded and quickly brought a beautiful dress to Xu Ke.

At this time, Xu Keke had already put on her inner clothes, covering up all the marks on her body.

After putting on her coat and washing up, Dingxiang came over to help the princess dress up.

After some tidying up, Xu Ke finally regained some spirits.

She stood up and walked towards the front hall, and heard the children's cheerful laughter from afar.

When I got closer, I saw that the little figure was trying hard to take steps, swaying and looking very cute.

Everyone who had free time in the palace was watching the young master.

Manager Yao was shaking a rattle and talking.

"Prince, come here quickly, I'll give it to you."

The young master laughed so hard that his mouth was drooling, and he staggered towards Manager Yao.

It wasn't until he got the rattle that he was able to stand firmly.

He mumbled "Master."

Manager Yao was so happy that he was grinning from ear to ear.

A gentle smile appeared on Xu Ke's face.

He walked up to the child, held him in his arms, and kissed his cheek.

"The young master is really getting more and more powerful."

Dingdang said with a smile.

Xu Keke teased the child.

"That's natural. Don't you see whose child it is?"

I thought to myself, damn, the prince is getting more and more powerful...

The young master looked at Xu Keke without blinking and handed the rattle to her.

"Mom...play..."

Xu Ke's heart immediately softened.

All right! The prince's offspring is good, I forgive him.

There is peace in Prince Sheng's Mansion.

Chu Musheng in the palace was busy with various things.

The situation in the disaster-stricken southern areas requires urgent attention.

The Ministry of Revenue urgently allocated a large amount of grain from granaries around the capital overnight.

The Ministry of War organized an experienced grain transport team to ensure that grain could be transported to the disaster area safely and quickly.

General Song was in charge of escorting the grain transport team this time.

Prince Ning was fully responsible for all specific matters and also brought with him many documents and military advisors.

In addition, the imperial physicians from the palace went to provide post-disaster epidemic prevention knowledge to the victims.

Throughout history, after a major disaster, there has always been a major epidemic, and experienced doctors are indispensable.

As soon as everything is ready, they will rush to the disaster area to supervise and coordinate the relief work.

They are also required to arrive to handle post-disaster reconstruction matters, and then make decisions based on the local disaster situation.

The Imperial Hospital became busy now.

Because not only do they have to arrange for imperial physicians to go to the disaster area, but they also have to dispatch personnel to diagnose Prince Lu's condition.

The imperial physicians going to the disaster areas in the south also had to travel a long distance, so they had to be accompanied by young and strong imperial physicians.

As for Prince Lu, of course he had to send the most skilled imperial physician.

For a while, everyone in the Imperial Hospital was extremely busy.

Naturally, the news that Prince Lu was seriously ill could no longer be concealed.

The Grand Empress Dowager, accompanied by Madam Rong and others, found Chu Musheng in the small court and began questioning him.

"Sheng'er, the news that Prince Lu was seriously ill reached the palace yesterday. Why didn't you tell me?"

Chu Musheng put down the file in his hand.

"Mother, yesterday was your birthday. I told you, but it only made you sad and it didn't help."

The Empress Dowager sat down on the armchair and sighed.

"I know you are also filial, but it doesn't mean that this matter will not happen if you hide it from me.

Prince Lu's health has not improved in recent years, and I am always worried about him."

Chu Musheng walked to the chair next to the Empress Dowager and sat down, speaking patiently.

"Don't worry, mother. I have arranged for the Imperial Hospital to fully treat Prince Lu. I will do my best."

The Empress Dowager nodded.

"So what is Prince Lu's condition like now? Is there any sign of improvement?"

Chu Musheng frowned slightly and answered truthfully.

"My Queen Mother, Prince Lu's condition is still quite serious. The doctors at the Imperial Hospital are currently discussing a more effective treatment plan."

The Empress Dowager looked worried.

"What should I do? Prince Lu was raised by me, and I really can't bear to see him suffer."

Chu Musheng was comforted.

"Don't worry too much, mother. I have already ordered all prefectures to post notices, offering generous rewards to recruit talented people.

As long as you can cure Prince Lu's illness, in addition to a reward of ten thousand taels of silver, I will also agree to the doctor's request as long as it does not violate the law."

At this time, Rong Mama was persuading the Empress Dowager.

"Master, the Regent will certainly make every effort to arrange everything. You must also take care of yourself and not hurt yourself."

The Empress Dowager waved her hand gently.

"Sheng'er, no matter what, you must always pay attention to Prince Lu's condition and inform me of any progress as soon as possible."

Chu Musheng responded.

"Your son will obey your mother's order."

The Empress Dowager then stood up and slowly left the small court with the support of Aunt Rong.

Chu Musheng looked at the departing figure of the Empress Dowager, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

He could imagine that the reason why his mother was so worried was not just because of Prince Lu, but because of all the royal men.

Alas! I just hope Prince Lu can recover soon, and let my mother rest in peace.
