The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

Emperor Mingde, his expression unchanged, continued to ask, "Oh? Then, Hao'er, what kind of person is useful, and what kind of resource is effective?"

"Your Majesty, I believe that those who are skilled in agriculture are the most useful, such as the officials of the Ministry of Revenue and the farmers who cultivate the land. As for effective resources, they are materials for making pesticides and materials for fertilizers to protect crops and seedlings."

"Hao'er is quite right." Emperor Mingde nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied, and then looked at the Minister of Revenue: "Lord Lei, you previously said that the Eighth Prince was the best candidate to quell the insect plague in the south. Now that you have heard the First Prince's good plan, do you still insist on your opinion?"

In an instant, everyone turned their attention to the Minister of Revenue.

The eldest prince also looked at the Minister of Revenue, his heart filled with anger. That old fox surnamed Lei usually tried to curry favor with him, but in this matter of the southern insect plague, he recommended his eighth brother to his father.

This old fox Lei had better choose him this time, otherwise he would forever consider him an enemy.

Hmph, just wait until he inherits the throne...

Luo Qianmo remained consistently indifferent, seemingly unconcerned about the Minister of Revenue's answer.

In fact, he really didn't care. No matter who the Minister of Revenue recommended to Emperor Mingde, it wouldn't change his determination to go to the south or the outcome.

Seeing everyone looking at him, the Minister of Revenue looked troubled: "Your Majesty, this has stumped me! I believe that both the First Prince and the Eighth Prince are suitable candidates to quell the insect plague in the south. You would be excellent to choose either one!"

The ball was kicked to Emperor Mingde again.

Seeing Emperor Mingde nod slightly and then look at him with great satisfaction, the eldest prince was so excited that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

Father, Father is actually choosing me?

"Hao'er, after careful consideration, I feel that you are indeed quite suitable for the important task of quelling the insect plague in the south. However, you have been traveling around these past few days without a moment's rest, and now you are heading south. The journey will be arduous, and I'm afraid your body cannot withstand it. You should stay in the capital and rest. As for the task of quelling the south, let Mo'er take care of it."

At that moment, Luo Qianmo remained indifferent.

This outcome was exactly what he had expected. His willingness to volunteer to go to the south meant that he must have already made all the necessary arrangements.

This outcome was already predetermined the moment he stepped into the Golden Palace.

In that instant, the eldest prince felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, chilling him to the bone.

His father, the emperor, still entrusted this matter to his eighth brother!

They had given him hope, but who could have imagined it would be just a beautiful bubble, shattered in the end! How could he possibly accept that?!

“Father, I have always been in good health and can definitely withstand the journey. Besides, it is the duty of a man to do something for the country and the people. How could I feel tired?! It is my eighth brother who has returned safely this time. He should rest well and enjoy the happiness of family with Father, Mother, and Grandmother.”

"Hao'er, you are right. It is the duty of a true man to work hard for the country and its people. With the insect plague raging in the south, how can Mo'er ignore the lives of the people and stay in the capital?"

The eldest prince's resentment was completely silenced by this one sentence.

He said these words, but now his father is using them to retaliate against him, leaving him speechless.

Then, Emperor Mingde said to Luo Qianmo, "Mo'er, I hereby authorize you to handle the insect plague in the south. I also hope that you will remember your elder brother's teachings and always put the safety of the people first. You must quell this disaster!"

Luo Qianmo bowed slightly: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Next, Emperor Mingde made many arrangements for Luo Qianmo's trip to the south.

The eldest prince stood in the corner, watching Emperor Mingde and his ministers' mouths open and close, knowing they were discussing matters in the south, but he couldn't hear what they were saying.

He felt his head buzzing with anger and resentment.

His gaze was fixed on the tall and jade-like Luo Qianmo, and hatred spread in his eyes little by little, growing stronger with each passing moment.

He had never hated Luo Qianmo as much as he did today, wishing he would disappear from his sight immediately!

Luo Qianmo has been missing for several days, so why didn't he just disappear completely? Why did he have to reappear in front of him?!

At that moment, the eldest prince had only one thought in his mind: he hoped that Luo Qianmo would die in the south and never come back.

Luo Qianmo seemed to notice the Crown Prince's gaze, turned his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

That smile was exactly the same as before, but it ignited all the anger that had been building up in the Crown Prince's heart, making him burst into flames.

The eldest prince clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling involuntarily.

Luo Qianmo, die, die, die, die, die!

After the morning court session ended, the eldest prince did not know how he walked out of the Golden Palace. He had been holding on to his last breath, but as soon as he stepped out of the palace gate, he suddenly fainted and his body lurched forward.

"Your Highness!" The eunuchs and guards were terrified by the prince and quickly helped him up, ordering someone to summon the imperial physician.

Luo Qianmo saw the First Prince faint from afar, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

They were no longer brothers when the eldest prince wanted to get rid of him.

Since they are enemies, he will no longer show any mercy.

He had no interest in the throne; they were the ones who forced him into this situation.

Since they care so much about this position, he doesn't mind taking it into his own hands.

That same day, Luo Qianmo headed to the south.

In addition to a group of ministers, imperial physicians, and guards, some folk doctors also accompanied the entourage.

This also includes Fang Qingyou.

Fang Qingyou knew about Luo Qianmo's decision to go to the south, and she had originally planned to go with him, but she was somewhat unwilling.

She went to the south because of Luo Qianmo, but now Fang Xing'an's family is enjoying the fruits of her hard work.

She was truly unwilling to become a tool for that heartless and ungrateful old scumbag to scheme for wealth and glory, but once she took that step, she could not help but be used by him.

Before leaving Kyoto, Fang Qingyou went to the clinic to make arrangements.

After so much training, Chen Zhongjie is now capable of handling things on his own. With Dr. Zhao overseeing things, there shouldn't be any problems at the clinic.

Afterwards, Fang Qingyou returned to Liu Family Village to inform the Ren family and others, and to provide further medical treatment for Elder Xing and the mysterious lady, as well as to arrange the follow-up matters.
