The three-year-old host decides to raise an emperor father for himself.

While Liu Fubai was still examining Xuanyuan Jing's pulse, Wang Tai was not able to stay in the room for long either.

In fact, after confirming that Xuanyuan Jing had little suspicion of Liu Fubai's arrival, Wang Tai's main purpose for coming today was achieved.

Therefore, when he was invited to the side room, Wang Tai did not resist.

After all, even if Xuanyuan Jing has not suspected Xuanyuan Lin, as a eunuch by Xuanyuan Lin's side, Wang Tai is not suitable to stay here indefinitely without gaining Xuanyuan Jing's trust.

Wang Tai was well aware of this.

Even though he was cursing a lot in his mind, he still had some sense of satisfaction and accomplishment when he saw that the oblivious Prince Jing still trusted the monarch he served.

He will not anger Xuanyuan Jing.

If Xuanyuan Jing shows his dislike for him, even if Xuanyuan Lin is just putting on an act, he will not hesitate to abandon Wang Tai.

Wang Tai himself is the one who knows this best.

"how?"

"It doesn't matter."

The conversation was brief, starting abruptly and ending abruptly.

——————————————————————————————

“Your Highness is unwell, and it’s warmer here than in the capital, so it’s quite suitable.” Liu Fubai withdrew his hand, got up and went to the place where pen, ink and paper were prepared, picked up the pen and began to write: “I have heard how Doctor Fang treated Your Highness, and in my humble opinion, there is nothing wrong with it.”

"However, I have a family secret recipe here that may be of some benefit to Your Highness's health. Your Highness may take it and ask Doctor Fang to confirm it. If it can help, that would be best. If not, please forgive me."

Liu Fubai spoke slowly and deliberately, his hand movements were leisurely, and his gaze was calm. When he wrote, he inexplicably gave people a sense of tranquility.

Xuan Yuanjing stood up, walked slowly behind the person, glanced down at what the other person had written on the paper, and responded indifferently, "Hmm."

After that, the two did not have any further communication.

Wang Tai soon learned that Xuan Yuanjing was indeed unwell. After hearing that Xuan Yuanjing had explicitly refused to enter the palace in the next few days, he could only smile and say that he would convey his message to the emperor.

After that, the group did not linger and quickly left the villa.

Pei Qingzhu smiled and personally escorted the group to the door, appearing to give Wang Tai face. Her polite and unhurried manner indeed misled Wang Tai's judgment.

The carriage curtain fell, separating the carriage from the outside world and cutting off Wang Tai's view from those around him. Only then did he let out a silent, cold laugh, thinking to himself: "Prince Jing and his lackeys are truly naive. They still believe His Majesty treats them sincerely, unaware that even someone like me, without any roots, knows the principle that there are no brothers in the imperial family."

Wang Tai: [But this is for the best. Only when His Majesty is happy can we all be happy.]

Wang Tai: [If His Majesty is unhappy, the first person to be targeted will probably be someone like me.]

The carriage moved slowly along the deliberately swept road, the subtle sounds going unnoticed by those inside.

When Wang Tai came to his senses, he looked at the other person in the carriage, frowned slightly, and then relaxed his brows after a moment: "Lord Liu, how is the Prince's health? If he is really not well, wouldn't it be more appropriate to move him to the palace?"

Liu Fubai sat upright to one side with a calm expression. "I am acting on orders. As for what happened to Prince Jing, I ask for your understanding, Eunuch Wang. His Majesty has clearly decreed that this matter must not be disclosed to outsiders."

Wang Tai's smile froze for a moment before quickly returning, but it looked forced and inexplicably cold.

Wang Tai: "Ah, really? It's our fault. We shouldn't have inquired about these things just because we care about the prince."

As for what he might be cursing at the person in front of him in his heart, as long as he doesn't show it on his face, who would know?

In another courtyard.

"Your Highness." Pei Qingzhu returned to the main hall. Before Xuan Yuanjing had left, he entered directly, bowed, and said bluntly, "Wang Tai's face looks hypocritical, which is quite different from what Chen Li said before."

Xuan Yuanjing put down the paper he had been holding and said calmly, "It's normal that Chen Li has dealt with him more often than you."

Pei Qingzhu shrugged: "Your Highness, are you alright? This was left behind by that Lord Liu?"

As she spoke, Pei Qingzhu looked at Xuan Yuanjing with some curiosity, her eyes revealing a hint of inquiry.

Xuanyuan Jing raised his hand, gesturing for Pei Qingzhu to look at it as he pleased. Watching him take the paper and examine it, he said slowly, "I didn't expect that he would be sent here in the end."

Pei Qingzhu examined the prescription in her hand several times, but couldn't discern any hidden information from the herbs. Puzzled, she put it back down: "Maybe it's because he's young?"

Xuanyuan Jing chuckled, then resumed his expressionless demeanor: "Isn't that even more ridiculous?"

Xuan Yuanlin probably never expected that the imperial physician he had carefully selected to train was a young man with no background who was easy to manipulate, but in the end, he still ended up choosing the person he hated the most.

Liu Fubai is a man of Xuanyuan Jing.

The relationship between the two is both complex and simple.

Liu Fubai is Xuanyuan Jing's junior brother.

However, even Chen Li was unaware of this matter. Only Pei Qingzhu had met Xuan Yuanjing's martial arts master a few times by chance, and had also met the man before he changed his name to Liu Fubai, and thus learned about it.

"Your Highness, what is this about your junior brother? He's been silent until he made a stunning remark?"

Liu Fubai, or Jiang Xuan, is the youngest son of Master Xuanyuan Jing. He was born prematurely and was in poor health. His father entrusted him to a Taoist friend to be raised in a Taoist temple. He might not see him for several years.

After Xuanyuan Jing went to the battlefield, his master retired back to his hometown, and only then was he able to reunite with Jiang Xuan and his son.

It's normal that not many people know about this.

Jiang Xuan was influenced by Taoism from a young age. His personality and actions always gave people a sense of detachment from worldly affairs. Therefore, no one expected that after a few years, the other party would suddenly become Liu Fubai.

Xuanyuan Jing also had some doubts, but he did not doubt Jiang Xuan. "His medical skills are indeed excellent. If he wanted to, it would not be surprising if he could become an imperial physician with his outstanding abilities."

The only strange thing is when Jiang Xuan became Liu Fubai, and why he entered the palace.

but……

Xuanyuan Jing: "He wouldn't harm me."

Pei Qingzhu shrugged: "Your Highness, I trust your judgment... So, this thing?" He pointed to the prescription.

"I don't know either," Xuan Yuanjing replied frankly, "but it's probably to detoxify me."

Pei Qingzhu frowned: "You've been poisoned?"
