Well, it is indeed something to be proud of.

After all, he doesn't even have an elder brother.

Emperor Yuan Qing, feeling resentful, also looked at his brother with resentful eyes.

Lu Chenxiao understood what he meant in an instant and coughed twice to remind him, "My wife is protesting to you, which means she cares about me. If you have any dissatisfaction, come to me, don't talk about my wife."

Emperor Yuan Qing: “…”

It’s great to have a wife.

Besides, does he dare to say anything about Meng Yunshang?

Not to mention that there is such a wife-protecting man in front of him, just take Meng Yunshang himself. If he really gets anxious and shoots him, what will happen!

"Don't worry, your wife is very tough, I won't mess with her for no reason."

Lu Chenxiao nodded proudly, "My wife is so heroic and brave, she is as good as any man."

The corner of Emperor Yuan Qing's mouth twitched slightly. He really didn't want to hear him brag any more.

Let’s get down to business.

"Are you sure Cui Jian will really provide convenience to Lu Yuanjing?"

"He really doesn't dare to help openly, but what if Lu Yuanjing's people approach him in the name of clearing the court of evil officials?"

Qingjun side...

Emperor Yuan Qing frowned and thought deeply.

Cui Jian was indeed very hostile to Ah Xiao, and words like "How can the emperor's bed be used to allow others to snore" were clearly written on the memorial.

If someone tried to win him over in the name of clearing the court, it would be easy indeed.

Emperor Yuan Qing was silent for a moment before deciding, "Close the internet."

Lu Chenxiao shook his head, "Wait two more days to give Lu Hesen some time to operate."

Emperor Yuan Qing didn't know what he was thinking, and nodded in agreement, "Okay, let's do as you say."

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Princess Heng still hadn't woken up.

Prince Heng made a big fuss in the Imperial Study, put pressure on Emperor Yuanqing, and even brought out the late Emperor.

Emperor Yuan Qing was forced to leave the palace and go to Huangjue Temple to pray for Princess Heng.

At the morning court on the eighth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Yuanqing announced the trip to Huangjue Temple.

Cui Jian was filled with righteous indignation and accused Prince Heng of making trouble in front of all the civil and military officials.

Prince Heng was enraged and started the fight in public, and was punished by Emperor Yuan Qing to return to Prince Heng's mansion to reflect on his mistakes.

Meng Jinyou wanted to plead for Prince Heng, but was refuted by Cui Jian and lost his qualification to go with him.

Emperor Yuanqing appreciated Cui Jian's meritorious advice and ordered him to stay in the capital to supervise Prince Heng's reflection on his mistakes.

At the same time, he picked Lu Chi and Cui Chen to follow closely.

He also ordered Qin Yimo to be responsible for the safety of the trip.

After the morning court session ended, Emperor Yuanqing led a large group of people to Huangjue Temple.

Along the way, the full imperial procession attracted countless eyes and was extremely grand.

However, not long after leaving the city, they encountered difficulties.

Huangjue Temple is built on a mountain.

The road up the mountain is steep and narrow, making it very difficult to walk.

Not to mention the emperor's ceremonial procession, even a slightly wider carriage couldn't move through.

Therefore, Emperor Yuan Qing had to get off and walk.

After Qin Yimo made some investigation, he stepped forward to explain the situation and asked Emperor Yuan Qing to make a decision.

Emperor Yuan Qing thought for a moment and decided to abandon the ceremonial guard and walk up the mountain with a small number of guards.

Cui Chen tried to dissuade him, "You must not do this. Your Majesty is a true dragon, how can he bear this kind of injustice? Why not have someone burn two sticks of incense on your behalf to show your sincerity?"

"Then according to your opinion, who would be the best person to go up in my place?"

Cui Chen did not doubt him, and after thinking for a moment, he answered seriously, "Commander Qin is the best in the team. Why not let him go on behalf of the emperor?"

Before Emperor Yuan Qing could speak, Lu Chi took the initiative to object.

"Master Cui, you are wrong. It is because the emperor is the true dragon that he is not afraid of any difficulties. Moreover, praying for blessings requires sincerity. How can the emperor not be present in person?"

"Lord Lu!"

Cui Cheng said sternly, "Going up the mountain this time is full of dangers. What is your intention in instigating the emperor like this?"

Lu Chi was well prepared. Instead of being timid, he questioned aggressively, "What is the intention of Master Cui in encouraging Commander Qin to replace the emperor?"

"you!"

Cui Cheng was stumped by the question.

He did have selfish motives in recommending Qin Yimo, but that was only because the two families were about to get married, and he wanted to help Qin Yimo show off in front of the emperor and gain credit.

But when Lu Chi said it now, it seemed as if he was planning some conspiracy.

Really abominable.

"Master Cui knew that Prince Heng was difficult to deal with, so he blamed the emperor for the poisoning of Prince Heng's wife, forcing the emperor to leave the palace to pray. He also deliberately set a trap to obstruct the emperor. When Prince Heng comes back to embarrass the emperor again, how will the emperor deal with Prince Heng?"

"I...Prince Heng is not that kind of person." Cui Chen defended in a deep voice.

But Emperor Yuan Qing had already decided, "Lord Lu is right. This journey will only be meaningful if I take it myself."

“Your Majesty!” Cui Cheng wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Emperor Yuan Qing, “Commander Qin, please lead the way.”

"Yes," Qin Yimo took the lead and walked up the mountain road.

Emperor Yuan Qing followed behind him, and Lu Chi smiled meaningfully upon seeing this.

However, he had only taken two steps when he heard Emperor Yuan Qing calling him, "Lord Lu, come to my side."

Under the envious gazes of everyone, Lu Chi walked to the position closest to Emperor Yuan Qing.

At first he was very nervous, thinking that he was too radical and aroused Emperor Yuan Qing's suspicion.

But he soon discovered that Emperor Yuan Qing actually admired him.

This made Lu Chi flattered and he couldn't wait to show more of himself.

Emperor Yuan Qing let him talk endlessly and walked up slowly.

Prince Heng's Mansion.

The housekeeper led a man in white and hurried to Hefengyuan.

Dan Gui stopped the man suspiciously, "Who is it?!"

The housekeeper quickly introduced, "This is the miracle doctor from Shuzhou, who came here specifically to detoxify the princess."

Dan Gui didn't believe it. "There have been so many people claiming to be miracle doctors these days, but none of them have been able to wake the princess up. Butler, you should take them away and stop disturbing our princess."

"Maybe this time it's different. Let's let Doctor Bai go in and check on the princess."

"Don't worry, young lady. I am different from other doctors. My name is Bai Cong, and I am the last disciple of Bai Xiang, the former head of the Imperial Hospital. With me here, Princess Heng will definitely wake up."

"Former head of the Imperial Hospital, Bai Xiang?"

Dangui was puzzled. Isn’t that the name of Fuling’s father?

After Fuling entered the palace, she never told anyone that her surname was Bai. The prince and princess also wanted to protect her and usually just called her Fuling.

Therefore, only a few people in the palace knew that Fuling's actual surname was Bai, and that she was the only daughter of the former head of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Everyone else just thought she was a personal maid bought by the princess and had some knowledge of pharmacology.

"Yes, my master is Bai Xiang, the former head of the Imperial Hospital. He passed away three years ago, but before he passed away, he passed on all his life's medical skills to me."

Dangui's mouth twitched slightly.

If this person is really the disciple of Dean Bai, how could he not know the existence of Fuling and her daughter.

Although he knew that Fuling and her daughter had a hard time after Dean Bai's death, he turned a blind eye and allowed them to fall into poverty.

Such a person is probably not a sentimental or righteous person.

Dangui felt extremely disgusted with this man, but she concealed it well on her face.

She pretended to hesitate, "I have also heard about Dean Bai's medical skills. But how can I believe that you have inherited Dean Bai's true teachings?"

Bai Cong coaxed her gently, "You will know if you try. The princess has been in a coma for many days. If she is not awakened, her life may be in danger. I believe you don't want the princess to die like this."

Dangui seemed to be persuaded, and finally made the decision, "You are right, nothing can be worse than it is now. Let's give it a try."

"Very good."

Bai Cong smiled modestly and followed Dan Gui into the house.
