Quick Transmigration: Leisure

On the palace road,

After leaving Consort Yi's palace, Chunyu Huai went to the Imperial Hospital.

His mother's worsening condition was not only due to the anger she felt during the imperial concubine selection, but also the culmination of accumulated aftereffects reaching a breaking point. Many intricacies were involved, and the staff of the Imperial Medical Academy could not be entirely trusted.

He knew sixteen years ago that the life-saving medication was too crucial.

But the Emperor didn't care about any of that. He was stubborn and unwilling to let any of his sons come into contact with the specific formula.

To this end, they did not hesitate to directly punish the drug developers.

This indirectly led to Consort Yi becoming the only mistress with lingering effects, which lasted for a full sixteen years.

Chunyu Huai had long planned to reform the medical field after ascending the throne. Besides the system, talent was also crucial. He needed to cultivate a group of promising but yet-to-be-discovered doctors so that they could take up their posts immediately after the reforms were completed.

Time is running out, but thankfully there's been progress on the prescription.

When he entered the Imperial Hospital, the Fourteenth Prince Chunyu Xi had been waiting for him for a long time.

The young man, who was even more corrupt than the powerful and influential people in the capital, returned to the capital with Xia Ji. He had just finished a two-year training period and was about to be forced to marry a woman he had not chosen.

In the past, when a prince married his principal wife, his personal wishes might have been taken into account.

Now, even his mother can't control him; he can only let his father do as he pleases.

Some people with strong personalities can't stand this kind of frustration.

Chunyu Xi, however, was different. From his appearance, he was a naturally brainless warrior, perfectly suited for warfare. None of his brothers would have been wary of his rude and uncouth demeanor.

However, due to his special birth, he has always been treated differently.

The emperor's favoritism stemmed from the fact that he was born during a chaotic period and needed some symbolic meaning to prove that the Xi dynasty was blessed by the heavens.

He took on this role and was given the name "Xi".

Although it simply means "longing," it shares the same pronunciation and radical as the character "郗" in the name of a dynasty.

If his elder brothers hadn't all grown up and understood their father's intentions, and if his physique hadn't been so extraordinary that ordinary methods were ineffective and would only increase his drug resistance, given the extent to which his father openly provoked hatred, Chunyu Xi would have died eight hundred times over!

Another form of differential treatment came from his mother.

Unlike ordinary people, Consort Yi did not show favoritism towards her youngest son.

Or perhaps the aftereffects were simply too unbearable, and she didn't value the fourteenth prince from the bottom of her heart. Besides Xia Ji, she also hated Chunyu Xi. The more innocent the child, the more she hated him.

Without that hatred sustaining her, she would hardly have lived that long.

Consort Yi poured all her resources into Chunyu Huai, and all her care and favoritism went to her eldest son, the fourth prince. Helpless, Chunyu Huai could only serve as a bridge between mother and son, which led him to develop a playful and silly personality.

Although only his trusted mother and younger brother could witness it, the one who enjoyed the pampering was even more fearless.

The fourteenth prince, however, could only be the most proper and upright gentleman. He was tolerant of everything and more restrained than any of the other princes, never disturbing his mother and brothers' time except on important days.

Even for his own major life events, his mother would summon his elder brother to discuss the details first, and then convey the information to him.

In fact, this process has been the same since I was old enough to understand things.

However, Chunyu Xi still felt a rare, faint sense of regret. He thought that his trip to the border had made him more indifferent to life, death, fame, and fortune. He was more composed than ever before.

But his elder brother was too good to him. In the past, when he occasionally rebelled and wanted to read folk books, his elder brother would satisfy him.

From this, he glimpsed another way of life.

That kind of love that stems from mutual affection leads to a lifelong commitment to each other's feelings and marriage.

To be honest, something did tempt him. He briefly fantasized about whether he would be so lucky. In the end, his father's sudden despotism shattered the boy's hidden expectations.

He followed the same path as all the princes, and even more helplessly, the purity he had maintained over the years became the least important thing.

His marriage became a tool for weighing interests.

The most interesting,

This move would increase his brother's chances of winning, so he had no reason to refuse.

......

"Fourth brother."

"Xiao Xi".

Chunyu Huai sensed something and laughed, "What's wrong? Feeling wronged?"

"No." Chunyu Xi composed himself, beaming as he took out a piece of paper with half a prescription on it.

"But it matches perfectly?" Chunyu Huai took it and saw the familiar medicinal herbs and the strange proportions.

“The three imperial physicians have already examined it, and it matches the half they developed back then perfectly, even more refined.” Chunyu Xi pointed to the optimized part and continued to explain, “That doctor also said that he vaguely remembered what the remaining medicines were. But he hadn’t used them for a long time, and he couldn’t remember the specific proportions. To recreate it, he would need to keep experimenting, so he dared not write down the other half of the prescription.”

“Heh, Mother Consort can’t wait too long. First, have the doctor write down the medicinal ingredients, and then distribute them to the others.” Chunyu Huai emphasized, “We are not trying to reproduce the exact same prescription, but to break it down so that Mother Consort can receive the right medicine in time.”

then,

The life-saving drug circulating in the military did not attract much attention.

The emperor knew about the prescription, but it was not applicable to him.

Until the incident involving Consort Yi occurred.

At that time, all the imperial physicians and midwives were helpless. Consort Yi was not in good health, and if she could not be saved, the child would not be born.

in fact,

That battle was not won in a glorious way. Chunyu Huai was a participant and understood his father's intentions even better.

Unfortunately, Consort Yi has already been in the palace for six months, managing affairs with no attempt to keep a low profile. If she and her unborn child were to die, the already pyrrhic victory would only be further tarnished.

Even the reputation of the fourth prince, Chunyu Huai, could not be preserved.

The rumors that he would bring misfortune to his father, mother, and younger brother had already been prepared for him in the capital, awaiting only the passing of Consort Yi.

He went to ask Xia Ji himself what to do.

The reason Chunyu Huai wanted to marry Xia Youmi more than the other princes was inextricably linked to the fact that he was actually fighting a war this time. More credible than rumors was his personal experience. He witnessed Xia Ji's unbelievable good fortune in saving all the soldiers.

His youthful innocence in running to find Xia Ji at the moment of his mother's farewell was, in a way, a gamble.

He made the right bet, but with the encouragement of certain people, the prescription was spread like wildfire.

It almost caused even bigger political trouble.

The emperor made a decisive decision and destroyed the prescription. All the researchers involved in the drug development died on the spot and were unable to return to the capital with the army.

Debunk the rumors as quickly and forcefully as possible.

The only one who suffered was the mother, tormented by the pain. Moreover, because the original prescription was destroyed, they encountered numerous difficulties in treating the mother's aftereffects, as something was added to the medicine that would affect her recovery.

Over the years,

The two brothers never stopped searching for those remedies.

Everything had to be done in secret, for fear of displeasing the Emperor.

Now that Father Emperor is old, it is finally time to openly express filial piety. Although Mother Consort's illness was aggravated by anger, the person who was related to the prescription and escaped the calamity by leaving the military camp in advance has been found.

The emperor bestowed a marriage upon the Wang family, and the Xia family father and daughter also boarded his ship.

Everything was progressing steadily, and Chunyu Huai was unusually in a good mood. He even had some free time to amuse himself and went to check on the sparrows that had been caught.
