Concubine Li was stunned for a moment, then glared at the eldest princess with some displeasure: "What did you say about your brother?"

"Mother, what I said is also correct!"

The princess glanced at Concubine Li, and her voice and tone became more serious. "Now that the emperor has woken up, my second brother is pretending to be sick at home. If you don't want to be punished, you should send someone to make him make his fake illness real."

"Otherwise, if the emperor investigates, neither you nor he will be in any good!"

Hearing the eldest princess's serious and unkind words, Concubine Li was stunned for a moment, frowned and looked at her, and said unhappily: "What do you mean by this?"

"Mother is so smart, don't you understand?"

The princess lowered her voice and said, "It would be better if he really broke his legs! If we investigate like this, we won't have any evidence."

"Let Hongsheng break his legs?"

Concubine Li's expression changed: "No, how can this be possible?"

The eldest princess said, "Then mother will wait for father to investigate."

As the princess spoke, she was about to go into the Yangxin Palace to see the emperor.

Concubine Li hurriedly pulled her hand: "Wait a moment, wait a moment."

"Mother, do you have anything else to say?" The eldest princess looked at Concubine Li with a lukewarm tone.

"You...you are smart, please help Hongsheng think of a solution!" Concubine Li said hurriedly.

The eldest princess' tone turned serious: "Mother, I can't think of a solution. You and Hongsheng can come up with your own ideas."

"That's your brother!"

Concubine Li was anxious now: "You just don't care?"

The eldest princess frowned, remembering what her husband had told her, and said helplessly, "Mother, it's not that I don't care, but my second brother's actions this time were too obvious."

"I'm just a princess. I remain neutral and treat everyone well."

"You, what do you mean? Are you going to draw a clear line between you and your brother?" Concubine Li's face changed, and she looked at the eldest princess with displeasure.

The eldest princess's expression turned serious as she looked at Concubine Li. She said solemnly, "Mother, I'm not trying to draw a line between us. I'm just giving you a piece of advice... Lu Huaiyang is not someone you can easily mess with, and we can't afford to offend him."

"Hongsheng wants to fight for that high position, and I won't stop him, but I... I don't dare to take the risk!"

Not only Lu Huaiyang, but also Lu Huaiyang's princess from the countryside, she couldn't afford to offend him at all.

It's not like I haven't seen this before.

She went crazy and committed suicide with Lu Hongsheng.

Why not just live a good life and provoke them?

The eldest princess said this and turned to walk inside.

Li Fei: "..."

She had the illusion of losing control.

Inside the Yangxin Hall.

The emperor woke up with a soft pillow behind him.

Concubine Xie and Concubine Cen were serving on the side, and Lu Huaiyang and his family of three were also waiting nearby.

The emperor had just woken up and looked a little weak.

Eunuch Su was standing by and reported everything Lu Huaiyang had done while he was unconscious.

The emperor was very pleased to hear this and nodded with satisfaction as he listened.

"Well, he's a good kid."

The emperor waited for Eunuch Su to finish speaking, then looked at Lu Huaiyang with great relief: "If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would wake up."

Lu Huaiyang said beside him: "Long live the emperor, even if your son is not here, you will wake up."

The emperor looked at Lu Huaiyang and felt even more relieved.

Then he looked at the Fifth and Eighth Princes and said, "Go and find out who spread those rumors a few days ago."

"And those strange phenomena, who is causing this trouble?"

"Once discovered, they will be severely punished!"

The Fifth and Eighth Princes knelt down hurriedly: "Your Highness obeys your command."

Lu Huaiyang said from the side: "Father has just woken up. Your health is the most important thing now. Don't worry about these mundane affairs for now."

The emperor looked at Lu Huaiyang, his eyes full of satisfaction: "You are still filial..."

When the emperor said this, he felt a little touched for a moment.

This illness came on strangely, and he was indeed pretending.

He didn't expect that this son would risk his life to sacrifice for him.

Thinking of this, the emperor's eyes were even more moved.

Hearing the emperor's words, Lu Huaiyang sighed and softened his voice: "It is my duty as a son to be filial to your father."

As he said this, he knelt down.

Ye Nanyue and Ping An also knelt down.

tsk...

Evil imperial society!

Ye Nanyue lowered her head, her eyes rolled, and she remembered something. Suddenly, she reached out and touched Lu Huaiyang's arm.

Lu Huaiyang was caught off guard and frowned in pain.

"What's wrong?" asked the emperor.

Before the emperor could finish his question, Ye Nanyan hurriedly and exaggeratedly covered Lu Huaiyang's injured area, as if she was frightened: "Husband, does the wound hurt? Is it broken?"

Lu Huaiyang: “…” That’s a bit too exaggerated.

However, he still coughed lightly and tried his best to cooperate: "It's okay, it's okay."

Ye Nanyue kowtowed to the emperor, kneeling anyway: "Father, please ask the imperial physician to prescribe some painkillers for my husband. He cut the flesh, and his hand was injured when he bled..."

"My husband has always been accustomed to forbearance. When we were at the manor before, he never complained about injuries or fatigue..."

"It hurts so much!"

Ping An also added fuel to the fire: "Daddy cut flesh and blood for Grandfather, and Grandfather got better. Ping An cut flesh and blood for Daddy, will Daddy also feel better? Woo woo..."

Ye Nanyue: “…” What a big son!

This is better than her acting!

She couldn't help but glance sideways at Ping An, and was stunned for a moment when she saw Ping An's tearful eyes.

Wow, this kid doesn't look like he's pretending at all!

This looks so realistic!

The emperor looked at the family of three and hurriedly ordered the imperial physician, "Examine the virtuous prince. If he cannot be cured, bring his head to him."

"Yes..." The imperial doctors were terrified.

The emperor asked them to stand up and wait by the side.

Then, he symbolically met with the eldest princess and some other concubines, princes and princesses.

After everyone was sure that the emperor was safe and had woken up, the emperor sent them back.

When most of the people had left, the emperor called to Concubine Li: "Where's the second son? When will he come into the palace?"

"Yes, Sister Li Fei, the eldest prince is here. The second prince has a leg injury. He can be carried in, right?" Concubine Xie said indifferently from the side.

For a moment, everyone looked at Concubine Li and looked at her in silence.

Concubine Li was uneasy. She swallowed her saliva and said hesitantly, "Hurry up, they are coming soon. We have sent someone. The people below came to report that they were injured and were slow to come in."

"It's been so long, isn't it time yet?"

Concubine Cen also said, "It seems that the people below are not doing their job well. The people around the Second Prince need to be replaced."

Concubine Li's expression changed.

Ye Nanyue thought to herself that her mother-in-law was no pushover!

As he was speaking, a eunuch came in from outside and reported, "Your Majesty, the Second Prince is here."
