Is he really that weak?
"This servant was afraid that His Majesty's health was not good, which is why I was so nervous." Eunuch Wei immediately knelt down to apologize.
I don't know what got into the Emperor for no reason, but he actually went to sleep in the imperial mausoleum for one night. It's autumn now and the nights are cool, so he must have caught a cold after sleeping there for one night.
He had been on guard all day, and now the Emperor had caught a cold from sneezing, but he stubbornly refused to admit it.
It's really tough being a servant to him.
"Where has the Crown Prince been lately?" Xuan Yuan Hongye wiped his hands, looked at the memorial before him, and suddenly lost the will to review it.
He worked diligently from morning till night, determined to be a wise ruler, but unfortunately, none of his sons lived up to his potential.
None of the second, third, or fourth princes were capable of shouldering the responsibilities of the nation.
Eunuch Wei was surprised that the Emperor would suddenly ask about the eldest prince, so he lowered his head and replied, "The eldest prince was previously in Wuyun County."
The eldest prince suddenly left the imperial mausoleum without any prior warning. By the time the news was known, he was already in Wuyun County, which can be considered as a private escape.
Could it be that the Emperor intends to punish us later?
“I know he is in Wuyun County,” Xuanyuan Hongye said. “The Emperor Emeritus is also in Wuyun County.”
Eunuch Wei didn't know what the emperor wanted to say, so he lowered his head and dared not speak. How could the emperor's thoughts be so easy to guess?
"How long has the Empress been gone?"
Eunuch Wei lowered his head even further. "Your Majesty, aren't you the one who knows best about this kind of problem?"
When Eunuch Wei thought of that thumb ring, it was the one that the Emperor had personally placed on the Empress's hand when the Emperor and Empress were deeply in love.
Who could have imagined that such a thing would happen later? The Empress did not offer any explanation and committed suicide by poisoning herself.
Hey……
What kind of person is the Empress?
Eunuch Wei knelt on the ground, his voice barely louder than a mosquito's buzz, "Her Majesty the Empress is dignified and virtuous, a model of the nation's mother."
"But the fact that she committed suicide out of fear of punishment disqualifies her from being the mother of the nation." Xuan Yuan Hongye's voice turned cold.
Eunuch Wei remained silent; the Empress was not someone a servant like him could discuss.
After a long while, Eunuch Wei finally heard the Emperor's voice again.
"You old codger, if you kneel until your knees are worn out, who will serve me? Get up. Has there been any activity in the harem lately?"
Only then did Eunuch Wei breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly get up from the ground. "Except for Consort Lan, all the other concubines are very well-behaved."
"This servant has heard that Consort Lan is searching everywhere for medicine to help her conceive."
Consort Lan must have been incredibly audacious. It was the Emperor's will not to allow anyone to have children, yet she dared to secretly seek out fertility-enhancing drugs.
"They're both daughters of the Guan family, but their personalities are so different. We should keep an eye on her and see what tricks she's up to." Xuan Yuan Hongye wanted to sneer when he thought of Consort Lan.
He clearly didn't favor her, yet he pretended to have done so; he probably has ulterior motives.
Since that's the case, let's just wait for her to slip up on her own.
What's giving him the biggest headache right now is the imperial edict and scroll in the hands of the Zhang family.
He couldn't force Guan Suyi to her death, so it seemed he had to find another way.
……
……
When Jiang Changtian came out of Luming Academy, the sun had already set.
"Brother Jiang, I didn't expect you to come to Luming Academy as well. You've been so composed all the way here, not letting a word slip out."
As Chen Jingfeng walked, he talked to Jiang Changtian. He didn't mean to blame Jiang Changtian; he just thought it was quite a coincidence.
Chen Jingfeng was injured and poisoned on the way, which damaged his body. By the end of the day, his face was quite pale.
Jiang Changtian said, "If things are done in secrecy, I'm afraid that if something happens and I can't go, wouldn't I just become a laughing stock for no reason?"
"The matter was accomplished in secrecy, Brother Jiang is right." Chen Jingfeng cupped his hands in greeting. "Where did you study before, Brother Jiang?"
"Mishan Academy".
“Mishan Academy, is that the academy where Dean Bai is located? I’ve heard of it. I was originally going to go, but something came up at home and I couldn’t go. Otherwise, we could have become classmates sooner.” Chen Jingfeng rarely showed such excitement.
"If we're lucky this time, we might become classmates."
Jiang Changtian saw Lin Shuyun as soon as he finished speaking.
At this moment, it wasn't just the two of them who came out of Luming Academy; there were other students who participated in the selection exam, and they all saw Lin Shuyun, with many of them having their eyes light up.
Lin Shuyun wasn't exactly a stunning beauty, but she had an undeniable presence when she stood there.
"Husband, are you tired?"
Lin Shuyun saw Jiang Changtian come out, waved to him, and smiled.
When the other students saw that it was Jiang Changtian's wife, they restrained themselves and glanced at her a few times before leaving.
"I'm not tired." Jiang Changtian stepped forward quickly, his eyes gentle.
"Brother Jingfeng, you're finally out! I've been waiting for you outside all day!" Chen Ting exclaimed.
Her voice once again drew the attention of the students.
The young man in brocade robes who had previously scoffed at Jiang Changtian also looked over and sized up Chen Ting. "Making such a racket at the entrance of the academy, you really have some manners."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ting immediately blushed and hid behind Chen Jingfeng.
Seeing that Jiang Changtian was normal, Lin Shuyun was about to go home with him when Chen Ting spoke again, but this time her voice was much softer.
"Brother Changtian, where do you live? Can we come and visit you?"
It's already getting late. If we go back to their dilapidated courtyard, it will be completely dark by then, and we'll have to get up in the middle of the night to come back tomorrow. It's too much of a hassle.
Jiang Changtian must have gone back to the Jiang family. The Jiang family are officials, and she wanted to go and see them.
Jiang Changtian didn't speak, but Lin Shuyun directly refused, "No, you're too shameless."
"Why...why are you targeting us? Aren't my brother and your husband already friends? They might even be classmates in the future. How can you be so petty!"
Chen Ting thought Lin Shuyun was really stingy.
Lin Shuyun shrugged indifferently, "Sorry, it's not directed at you, I just don't like you. And you're right about one thing, I am petty. If you know that, then don't come near me."
"You...you've gone too far!" Chen Ting stomped her foot, her eyes red with anger.
Turning to Jiang Changtian, he said, "Brother Jiang, can't you do something about your wife? How could she do this!"
"Really? I think I'm fine."
Jiang Changtian's expression was somewhat cold. "I also think my wife is quite good, and we don't need outsiders to comment on her."
"you……"
Chen Ting hadn't expected this outcome, and Jiang Changtian said the same, tears welling up in his eyes.
Chen Jingfeng was so ashamed he wanted to disappear. For the first time, he scolded her, "Chen Ting, have you forgotten all your manners? You're making Aunt Hong look bad."
Hearing this reprimand, Chen Ting lowered her head.
Chen Jingfeng said to Jiang Changtian and Lin Shuyun, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble again and again. I failed to raise my sister well."
"It's just my nature, why take responsibility for it?"
