Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 119 Covet

The ministers had their own thoughts along the way, but when they entered the Qianqing Palace and saw that the emperor looked pretty good, they felt relieved.

Cao Shouli waited outside the Qianqing Palace for a while until Li Gu came back from outside and led Sun Duzhong and several imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital into the Qianqing Palace.

He first saluted the emperor, then bowed to Xie Hui and Xie Xi respectively, and then said: "I serve your majesty."

After a while, another chamberlain ran in and replied breathlessly: "Your Majesty, His Highness the Second Prince left the palace. The servant asked the people around him and said that he had been out of the palace for a while and had already sent someone. Go find it."

The emperor was dissatisfied and glared at the young eunuch, but said: "Since the second prince has left the palace, we don't have to wait for him. My dear friends, how do you think I look today?"

The little eunuch heard that the emperor had no intention of giving him any more instructions, so he bowed and left the Qianqing Palace.

Cao Shouli winked at a middle-aged eunuch below, then raised his palm to his chest, waved it lightly downward, and made a "cut" motion. The middle-aged eunuch understood, took two steps forward, and half The little eunuch was half dragged out of the Qianqing Palace.

Lin Zisu saw this and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. If the little eunuch said something wrong, he might have risked his life.

Several adults in the cabinet expressed greetings to the emperor one after another as if they had not seen it. Zhang Ruogu, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, asked: "Your Majesty, I wonder which imperial doctor in the imperial hospital is so good at medical treatment? I heard that Gong Yuan envoy has been in the hospital for the past few days. They are all guarding the palace of Qianqing. It must be Gong Yuan who brought his master back to life and helped His Majesty out of danger."

The emperor was smiling, his face was calm, and his eyes were scanning the faces of the ministers one by one. Xie Xi, who was standing on the emperor's right, said with a smile: "Shilang Zhang, they say you are unparalleled in talent, but this time I guessed wrong. "

He first raised his eyes to look at the emperor, and then found the figure of Ambassador Gong in the corner. The emperor saw it and said with a smile: "Envoy Gong also tried his best, Yao'er, you don't have to blame him."

He had the closest relationship with the emperor, so he spoke a little casually. This sentence was tantamount to saying in disguise that Xie Yao still lacked the ability to manage politics.

When Xie Yao arrived, it was already half an hour later. When he entered the Qianqing Palace, he heard the voice of Zhang Ruogu, the left servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs: "Your Majesty, I believe that the second prince is like a piece of jade. Even if it is slightly flawed, As long as it is tempered a little, it may not be a piece of beautiful jade."

Xie Yao listened to the report from the envoy Gong yesterday and said that the emperor's condition was worrying. Unexpectedly, just one day later, the emperor's condition improved so much.

The Jiangnan Zhang family is a well-known century-old family. In the past few decades, many feudal officials have emerged. Zhang Ruogu is a member of the Jiangnan Zhang family. She is close to him and will rely on him more in the future.

The emperor's words seemed to be comforting Xie Yao, but the meaning conveyed was different for everyone. Some people had happy faces, while others were full of frustration. The one with the most obvious expression was undoubtedly Xie Yao.

Sun Duzhong hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is fine. If you give the common people three to five days, they should be able to handle the government affairs."

In this life, it was the first time that Lin Zisu dealt with Cao Shouli. His words were respectful, but there was already a hint of arrogance in his words. Sooner or later, he would become a popular figure.

As for Xie Hao being young, isn’t that a good thing? Who hasn’t been a little greedy?

As soon as Ye Quan's words came out, people immediately echoed them and made his words conclusive, and the Palace of Qianqing immediately became a place for political discussions.

This time it was the emperor who spoke. He pointed at Sun Duzhong who was standing in the corner and said with a smile: "Two days ago, Xiao Si'er found Dr. Sun from outside. He said that his medical skills were the best in the world. I didn't believe it at first. I didn't expect it. Thanks to his wonderful hands, my illness has improved a lot. By the way, Divine Doctor Sun, I have always forgotten to ask, how is my body recovering now?"

In the minds of the cabinet, the eighth prince Xie Yao is the legitimate son and the best candidate for heir in the order. Because the emperor has always insisted on his own opinion, he has had no choice but to assist Xie Yao in handling political affairs in the past few days. In their minds, naturally they still look forward to it. Xie Hao succeeded to the throne.

With this thought in his mind, he walked up to the emperor. The emperor looked kindly and said, "Yao'er, it's really not easy for you to work hard for the country and share the worries of your father these days. I still need three to five days to recover, so let's You should work harder!"

Xie Yao knew very well that although these people in the cabinet respected him on the surface, they didn't know what they would say in front of the ministers in private. Zhang Ruogu was the only one who had always been diligent and treated him without any hesitation. Heart.

The emperor smiled and said: "Envoy Gong Yuan, thank me for nothing, please get up!"

Although the other members of the cabinet have many competing interests and usually have different political opinions, they are surprisingly unanimous on the matter of establishing the crown prince.

The envoy of Gong Yuan was bowing his head in silence. When the emperor mentioned himself, he knelt down with a pop and kowtowed to the ground across several people, saying: "I... I thank your majesty."

The emperor spoke a few words to the ministers in a nonchalant manner, and then ordered everyone to retreat, leaving only Sun Duzhong and Lin Zisu. The emperor pointed to Cao Shouli who was waiting on the side and said calmly: "Sun Duzhong, you Don't worry, you can treat me. From tomorrow on, the ceremony will arrange for someone to guard you, master and disciple."

Master Gong realized that he was being rude, stood up in a hurry, and then retreated to the corner.

Some talk about establishing a prince, some talk about governing the country, and some compare Xie Yao to Xie Hao...

Everyone in the cabinet was shocked and confused, wondering why the emperor called his people over. Ye Quan, the Minister of Personnel, was the first to react and said: "This is really great. After your majesty recovers, can I need to give more guidance to the second prince."

Zhang Ruogu was stunned for a moment and said, "If it's not the envoy Gong Yuan, then who is it?"

Cao Shouli immediately said with a smile: "Miracle Doctor Sun, and this little genius doctor Lin, what we do in the palace is to serve people, you don't have to be polite to us."

This Cao Shouli was a powerful eunuch in the future, and he had a character that was bound to retaliate. I couldn't blame him, so I smiled and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Cao."

Cao Shouli immediately arranged for a dozen guards and led the master and apprentice back to Changping Palace.

In the past, there were only two guards standing at the entrance of Changping Palace to pretend, but now more than a dozen people came down and blocked the entrance of Changping Palace tightly.

Sun Duzhong saw that this group of people actually wanted to put his master and apprentice under house arrest. He hurriedly pulled Lin Zisu into a room and said with a melancholy face: "This emperor, just use me as a spearman, but you still want to Trapping us here is a bad thing!"
