Happy Palm: The War King's Favored Little Doctor Consort

In the imperial study, court officials looked at each other in bewilderment. The emperor had been adjourning court for several days, and all court affairs, big and small, were left to the crown prince to handle.

"Secretary Tang, Your Majesty hasn't attended court for many days, and there are rumors swirling around. Look..."

Tang Zhongshu was also very troubled. The rumors in the capital made many people feel uneasy, especially the ministers who supported the prince's faction. They lived in fear that the prince would really become a son of sin one day.

"Rumors stop with the wise. Since Your Majesty hasn't said anything, your attitude has already been made clear."

"Secretary Tang, Your Majesty said nothing, or can't say anything?" someone asked cautiously.

After His Majesty adjourned the court session, he only saw the Crown Prince every day. Prince Zhan stayed indoors, while the First and Second Princes ran around diligently, wishing to let everyone in the world know that the Crown Prince was a son of sin.

They tried their best to lobby civil and military officials, trying to make the prince deserted by his relatives and friends.

But who among those who can become an official of the third rank or above in the capital is not cunning and treacherous?

Faced with the lobbying of the two princes, they remained calm and closely followed the movements of the emperor and the King of War.

Tang Zhongshu actually suspected that the emperor was under house arrest by the prince, but he thought that Yin Ze was not the prince's man, he was the emperor's man. If the prince had placed the emperor under house arrest, Yin Ze would not have remained silent.

Yin Ze did not move, which means that the emperor is currently safe. As for why he suspended court and handed over the affairs of state to the prince, it is probably because there is something wrong with his health.

"Don't worry, my Lords. His Majesty is simply ill. If you don't believe me, you can discuss with the Crown Prince later when he arrives and then go and see His Majesty."

As they were talking, they heard the eunuch outside the door shouting that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived, and everyone stood up and saluted.

"Meet the prince."

"Excuse me, my lords." The prince walked to the front chair and sat down. "Do you have any memorials to present today?"

"Crown Prince, His Majesty has been absent from court for several days in a row. This has never happened before. As the crown prince, you should advise His Majesty more."

"Your Majesty is ill. Have you called the imperial physician? What did he say?"

"Prince, we wish to see His Majesty."

The court officials talked a lot, and to sum it up, the prince was not qualified to see the emperor and have him attend court, so he was not qualified to take full charge of all matters.

The prince lowered his eyes, his eyes full of mockery. He had been in charge of government affairs before, and all memorials had to be reviewed by him before being sent to the emperor.

No one said he was unqualified then, but now they say he is unqualified!

It seems that many people believe the rumors from the outside world, and have even determined that he has sinful blood and is not of royal blood.

"As a son, I only hope that my father will be healthy and free from illness and disaster. Although he is a monarch, he is also an ordinary person. He eats grains and will get sick as a result of aging."

"You all claim to be doing this for the good of the Emperor, yet you're forcing me to be an unkind, unfilial, and vicious person, forcing the Emperor to attend court despite being ill."

"Father has been on the throne for many years, working diligently and without a single day of slacking off. Now that he's ill, you want him to sit there sleeplessly, working tirelessly until he dies of exhaustion?"

"We dare not." The court officials knelt down hurriedly. They just wanted to see the emperor, but they did not dare to force the emperor to death.

"You don't dare. Why don't you dare?" The Crown Prince raised his voice. "My father has ordered me to take charge of government affairs. You say I'm unqualified. Are you questioning me or my father's decision?"

"Your Highness, we are merely concerned about your Majesty's health, not questioning him," Tang Zhongshu replied calmly. "The court officials haven't seen your Majesty in many days, and we are simply worried about you."

The prince narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Tang Zhongshu quietly. Tang Zhongshu looked calm and did not show any fear no matter how the prince looked at him.

"The Minister of the Central Secretariat wants to see the Emperor?"

"Not only this minister wants to see you, other ministers also want to see your majesty."

The prince pondered for a moment and said, "Father was tormented by illness and pain all night last night. He just took medicine and fell asleep. It is not appropriate to disturb him."

The ministers were about to retort when they heard the Crown Prince say, "How about this? I will go to attend to the sick later and discuss this with the Emperor. I ask the Emperor to meet with you tomorrow to prevent you from suspecting me of ill intentions."

The ministers felt a little embarrassed when they heard the prince speak so bluntly, but they had all seen big scenes, so no matter how embarrassed they were, they would not show it.

"In that case, thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"Now that we have dealt with the affairs of the lords, let us first deal with the matter at hand." The Crown Prince glanced at everyone, "Princess Wuyang of Xuanshang Kingdom has been murdered. Xuanshang Kingdom will certainly not let this go."

"How do you think this matter should be handled?"

"Of course, we have to hand over the murderer."

The prince looked at the person who spoke: "The one who killed people was Princess Zhan. Do you mean to hand Princess Zhan over to calm the anger of Xuan Shang Kingdom?"

"nature."

"Come here, send Lord Yang to Prince Zhan's mansion and inform Prince Zhan and Emperor Yan of his intentions. Ask them to make the final decision."

"Your Highness, this is just a suggestion. Whether it will be adopted depends entirely on the decision of Your Majesty." The man was anxious. Everyone knew that the War King was a wife-doting maniac, and the Yan Emperor was a murderer without blinking an eye. If he went today, he would never come back!

"I do not want to hear such foolish suggestions again. Please use your brains and think carefully about how to handle this matter. Once you have thought it through, please submit your memorials. Now, everyone, please disperse."
