Chapter 427: Impaired Walking

"Well, just keep a close eye on it and make sure nothing goes wrong." Chu Qingmeng looked at the file without raising her head. Shuang Cheng admired her ability to do two things at once.

Wu Qing looked at Chu Qingmeng and hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Master, the eldest prince is seriously injured. The spies in the eldest prince's palace reported that both his legs are broken and he may have difficulty walking."

Chu Qingmeng suddenly raised his head, unable to hide the astonishment in his eyes, "Didn't the horses collide with each other? How did he get injured like this?!"

"The horse hit the eldest prince's leg directly. It happened suddenly and he couldn't dodge it." Wu Qing knew that Chu Qingmeng was a man of great friendship. After giving him the secret agent, he probably treated him as his own, so he asked this question.

Chu Qingmeng frowned deeply. She quite liked Jiang Li's temperament. Moreover, he was the crown prince she had chosen, and a way out for Jiang Qing and Jiang Che. She couldn't let anything happen to him. If he became disabled, he would have no chance of becoming emperor.

"Where's Quan Si?" Chu Qingmeng sighed. It would be better to wait until Quan Si has seen it before making any decision. "Tell him to come over when he has time."

"Yes, sir." Wu Qing agreed.

Quan Si had been busy with something recently and didn't come until the next day. Chu Qingmeng chose to take a sedan chair into the palace so that he could reach the second palace gate and then walk.

Dayu's princes would not leave the palace after they got married, but would wait until one of their peers inherited the throne before they could leave the palace and set up their own homes.

Mo Jiangli's residence was in Zixiao Palace, and it took Chu Qingmeng nearly an hour to get there.

He leaned against the wall without any image, panting, "Quan Si, is there any way to make me less weak?"

"Master, the master hasn't sent you medicine recently, so I've been trying to think of ways to nourish you again these days." Quan Si was also worried. Although Master Jiu's illness had healed and he wasn't so weak anymore, her physical strength seemed to be very poor after she was forced to abdicate.

After a short rest, Chu Qingmeng entered the Zixiao Palace. Originally, she was supposed to go see Shiyi before visiting Jiang Li, but Shiyi was busy dealing with matters with Mo Liujin and other important officials and had no time to see her. So, he told her to see Jiang Li first and then see him before leaving the palace.

As soon as I stepped into the main hall, Jiang Li's roar accompanied by the sound of broken dishes reached my ears, "Get out! Get out! Get out! Get out!!"

The eldest prince's wife's pleading voice, tinged with tears, was particularly distressing. "Your Highness! I beg you, please eat something!"

"Get out!!" The sound of things being thrown and smashed was heard again.

Chu Qingmeng sighed and motioned for them to stay outside. Shuang Cheng looked worried and reached out to stop them, but she just shook her head to reassure them and pushed the door open and walked in.

He reached out and patted the eldest prince's wife who was kneeling on the ground and begging, signaling her to go out. The eldest prince's wife knew that Mo Jiangli was very close to her and she would persuade him, so she nodded and went out, wiping her tears.

Mo Jiangli was so absorbed in his own emotions that he didn't notice Chu Qingmeng coming. He only suddenly heard someone picking up the broken porcelain pieces beside the bed. Still closing his eyes and suppressing his anger, he irritably shouted, "Get out! Can't you hear me?! What? I'm not dead yet? You guys..."

"Mother...Mother..." Mo Jiangli opened his eyes and saw Chu Qingmeng sitting beside his bed with a wet handkerchief in her hand.

Chu Qingmeng used a handkerchief to wipe away the blood from the scratch on his hand. "What are you yelling about? Did everything I taught you go to hell?"

Mo Jiangli lowered his head, aggrieved like a child, "Mother, my son is useless."

"You haven't eaten for the past two days?" Chu Qingmeng didn't respond.

"I can no longer use what you taught me..." Mo Jiangli knew that Chu Qingmeng had raised him as the crown prince, but there had never been a disabled emperor in history! He was already a forsaken child. His father had given up on him. Ever since the day the imperial physician had said he would have difficulty walking, his father had simply said "oh" and remained silent. He knew then that his father had abandoned him. The opportunity he had finally gained was now ruined.

Chu Qingmeng stood up and went to the door to take the porridge brought by the maid and returned to the bed. "Eat something first."

"Mother...son..." Mo Jiangli didn't know what Chu Qingmeng meant. He had already abandoned his son, so why should she play the role of mother and son with him? Even though he really regarded her as his mother.

"Open your mouth." This was the first time Chu Qingmeng had ever fed someone else. If Mo Liujin knew about this, he would probably drown in jealousy.

"Mother... um..." Before Mo Jiangli could finish his words, Chu Qingmeng stuffed a spoonful of food into his mouth, and the spoon almost went straight into his stomach.

"Well, um, I've never served anyone before. You, eat by yourself." Seeing Mo Jiangli almost die in her spoonful of rice, Chu Qingmeng felt a little guilty.

Mo Jiangli really wasn't in the mood to eat, but looking at her eyes, he still explained, "Mother, I'm really not hungry."

"Jiang Li, you should be thankful you're not Jiang Che, otherwise I would have slapped you in the face." Chu Qingmeng snorted coldly, "You're just getting started! Are you planning to starve yourself to death now?"
