After traveling through time, the adults were completely in my hands

In Wei Qing's room at Duke Dingguo's Mansion, when he heard that Jindou was going to give him something, Wei Qing couldn't help but put down his book and looked up in confusion.

Jindou took off a small object tied with a red rope from his neck, pulled Wei Qing's hand over, and placed the small object in Wei Qing's palm.

Wei Qing looked at the little thing in his hand and found that it was an extremely crystal clear little jade pendant. Looking at it more closely, he found that the shape of the little jade pendant was actually a lifelike lotus.

At this moment, the little lotus in Wei Qing's palm was emitting an alluring luster, as if there was a mysterious power hidden in each petal.

"Brother, my grandfather told me that I was born with this little jade pendant in my hand." Jindou looked at Wei Qing with sparkling eyes and asked, "Brother, do you know what the lotus represents?"

What does it represent? Wei Qing had no idea what a flower represented, so he could only shake his head.

"It represents cause and effect," Jindou said with a smile, "It will make everything you ask for come true."

"Cause and effect," Wei Qing murmured as he stroked the small jade pendant which still had the temperature of Jindou's body.

"Yes, and this lotus also means protection. My grandfather said that I am the reincarnation of the Star God in the sky, and this little lotus is here to protect me."

After saying this, Jindou placed his hands on the table, leaned closer to Wei Qing, and said with a smile, "I'm giving it to my second brother now. Let it protect him while I'm away!"

Looking at the little lotus in his palm, and then at Jindou's smiling face so close to him, Wei Qing's originally gloomy face had long since cleared up. His originally extremely depressed mood had long since disappeared, and was replaced by a heart full of joy and emotion.

However, he suddenly thought of something and asked Jindou: "You gave it to me, what will you do?"

"Second brother, didn't I tell you that the lotus represents cause and effect? ​​I gave it to you because there must be a destiny behind it, so you should put it on quickly," Jindou urged.

After hearing Jindou's words "everything has its own arrangements", Wei Qing no longer hesitated, picked up the small jade pendant and hung it around his neck.

"Alright, not bad, not bad." Seeing Wei Qing put on the small jade pendant, Jindou immediately clapped his hands and said happily, "Now I can finally relax and enjoy a few more days in Yue State."

Well, Wei Qing’s face, which had just brightened up, immediately became cloudy again.

In the Kingdom of Yue, in the emperor's bedroom, Emperor Wu Ren's condition suddenly took a turn for the worse within a few days. Not only was he bedridden, but he also couldn't eat and was barely breathing. All day long, he could only survive by drinking ginseng soup.

Crown Prince Jingyu looked at his father lying on the bed, dying, waved his hand irritably, and said to the imperial doctors kneeling on the ground: "You can leave first."

The imperial doctors kneeling on the ground felt as if they had been pardoned. After expressing their gratitude, they hurriedly retreated.

After instructing the eunuch beside his father to take good care of his father, Jing Yu also went out and hurried to his mother's palace.

"My son, has your father's condition improved?" The Queen asked anxiously when she saw Jing Yu coming in.

Although Emperor Wu Ren had been favoring Concubine Ji in recent years and his relationship with the Empress had become increasingly distant, the Empress was still very worried about Emperor Wu Ren's condition.

Firstly, they were a young couple, so they had some affection for each other. Secondly, Jing Yu's foundation was still unstable, and Emperor Wu Ren's illness had progressed so rapidly. If Emperor Wu Ren died, Jing Yu's hasty ascension to the throne would inevitably lead to turmoil in the court.

Because of her anxiety and worry about Emperor Wu Ren's illness, the Empress has been physically and mentally exhausted in the past two days. Fearing that her mother would fall ill again, Jing Yu asked her mother to rest in the palace for the past two days and not to visit her father in the palace anymore.

Now the Empress has not been to the Emperor's palace for two or three days, and she is really worried about Emperor Wu Ren's health.

"Mother, don't worry about father's condition. I have arranged someone to take care of him. You should have a good rest these two days," Jing Yu comforted the queen.

"My son, have you returned to the palace to rest these past two days?" The Queen Mother pulled Jing Yu to sit down and started to care about her son again.

"Mother," Jing Yu opened his mouth to say something, but after thinking for a moment, he closed his mouth again.

"My prince, the Crown Princess has been making nourishing porridge and soup for me every day these past few days," the Empress said, looking at Jing Yu. "Although the Crown Princess is a little too quiet, she is the legitimate princess of Daqing, gentle and virtuous. As a Crown Princess, there is nothing wrong with her. My prince, please do not treat her poorly."

"Mother, I understand," Jing Yu agreed in a low voice.

"Also, my son, the most important thing for you now is to make the Crown Princess pregnant as soon as possible. Only when you give birth to the Crown Prince will your position in the court be more stable, do you understand?" The Queen reminded again.

"Mother" Jing Yu was about to say something when he heard a eunuch outside announce: "The Crown Princess has arrived."

Princess Jing'an entered the room and found Jingyu behind her. She couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She picked up the bowl of porridge from the tray held by Yingxiang, held it with both hands and handed it to the Queen Mother, saying, "Mother, I made this porridge for you myself. Drink it while it's hot."

"Okay, okay." The Queen took the bowl of porridge with one hand and pulled Princess Jing'an to sit next to her with the other hand.

After drinking two mouthfuls of porridge, the Empress looked at Jing Yu and Princess Jing'an who had been silent the whole time. After thinking for a moment, she smiled and said to Princess Jing'an, "The porridge cooked by the Crown Princess is sweet, soft and delicious. Why not cook a bowl for the Crown Prince in the future?"

"Mother, I understand," Princess Jing'an agreed softly, and then glanced at Jingyu secretly. She saw that Jingyu was just sitting there with no expression on his face.

For a moment, Princess Jing'an felt a little lost, so she lowered her head and said nothing more.

The Queen Mother saw the expressions of both of them and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

After finishing a bowl of porridge, the Queen Mother placed the bowl on the table and said to Jing Yu and Princess Jing'an with a smile, "It's getting late. You two should go back and rest early. Remember, your mother wants to hold the little grandson in her arms as soon as possible."

Princess Jing'an blushed at the Empress' words and quickly stood up, bowed, and said, "Then your Majesty, please rest early. I will take my leave now."

After hearing what his mother said, Jing Yu also stood up and said goodbye to her, and walked out of the room with Princess Jing'an one after another.

The two of them walked forward in silence towards the East Palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs followed behind them in silence.

Arriving at the door of their bedroom, Jing Yu hesitated for a moment, then said to Princess Jing'an, "Princess, please go in and rest first. I have something else to do, so I won't be coming tonight."

"Then, Your Highness, please take care of your health," Princess Jing'an said to Jing Yu, hiding the disappointment in her eyes.

"Well, Crown Princess, please go in first," Jing Yu nodded.

Seeing Princess Jing'an and the palace maids entering the bedroom, Jing Yu took big strides, left the East Palace, and walked towards the imperial study where memorials were reviewed.
