Chapter 104 Entering the court
When Ming Cangyu heard the news and entered the palace, he saw Shen Yu'an lying in the ceremonial prison "recuperating".

She looked pale and looked weak.

"Your Majesty... I am not feeling well. I cannot salute you today. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Ming Cangyu looked complicated, "You said that living in the palace means entering the palace as a slave?"

"A slave is already a useless person. If he doesn't enter the palace, he is destined to be unable to serve as an official in the court. It's better to become a eunuch and barely be able to stay in front of the emperor and work for the country."

"Shizi Shen is really loyal." Ming Cangyu sarcastically said.

Shen Yu said with peace of mind, thank you for the compliment, "These are what a slave should do."

"Since he has become a slave in the palace, Prince Shen should just do his duty as a slave."

Ming Cangyu left these words and walked away with a cold face.

Shen Yu'an felt baffled. Did she become a slave Ansheng and have nothing to do with him?

After two days of training, Shen Yuan promptly reported to the Feishuang Palace where the emperor lived.

"Are you still getting used to it?" the emperor asked. Seeing Shen Yu'an's expression was strange, he had never seen a descendant of a noble family take the initiative to become a eunuch. Aren't you worried about bringing shame to the family?
Shen Yu smiled reluctantly, "I'm very good, I'm going to give the emperor acupuncture."

*
I stayed in Feishuang Palace for about half a month.

Every day, concubines and princes would come to visit the emperor, but they were all turned away.

Everyone didn't know what the emperor's situation was, and everyone couldn't sit still.

On this day, the Lord of Yinshan Mountain entered the palace and went to Feishuang Palace in person. Shen Yuan wanted to turn people away as before, but the emperor unexpectedly said, "Invite people in."

Shen Yuan was a little surprised.

After Nie Shen entered the palace, he did not salute. He sat on the edge of the bed and took the emperor's pulse. His expression changed again and again. After a long time, he regained his composure.

"The emperor's body functions are gradually recovering. According to this trend, he may live a few more years."

The emperor's heart skipped a beat, and after hearing Nie Shen's words, his heart completely fell back into his stomach. "I have indeed felt very well these past few days, and I can even get out of bed and walk around."

"Which doctor examined you?" Nie Shen asked.

The emperor's eyes passed over Shen Yu'an, and finally looked at Mu Yiqing, "It's Dr. Mu, his name is Mu Yiqing."

Nie Shen looked at Mu Yiqing. The boy was not very young, he looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. How could he really have such powerful medical skills at such a young age?
"Your Majesty, can you lend me someone for half a day? I would like to discuss medical skills with Dr. Mu."

Although it was a question, his tone was a bit stiff, with a force that no one could refuse.

"can."

"Your Majesty is in good health, so I probably won't need you anymore. I will go back to Yinshan Mountain tomorrow."

"Thank you for your hard work," the emperor said stiffly.

Nie Shen took Mu Yiqing and left.

Shen Yuan was suspicious. The relationship between the emperor and the owner of Yinshan Mountain was a bit strange, not like a king and his people.

Not long after Nie Shen left, the queen, Concubine Shen, the prince, the second prince, the seventh prince, and the virtuous concubine all came to ask for an audience.

Rejected again.

The prince was unwilling to give in, but he had no choice but to find out more about the emperor's condition. The palace officials only said that it had improved, but refused to go into details, which made him feel scratched in his heart.

About ten days later, the prince presided over the court meeting as usual. In the middle of the meeting, a familiar voice came, "The emperor has arrived!" The emperor walked into the hall, and Shen Yuan, dressed in eunuch uniform, followed behind.

After a brief shock, the courtiers hurriedly bowed to the ground and saluted.

"My humble servant sees the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

The emperor walked straight into the dragon chair and sat down. With a sharp and majestic glance, he saw that in less than three months, half of the familiar faces in the court had been filled with new faces, and many familiar faces were gone.

His face suddenly darkened, and his sharp eyes glanced at Ming Ruicheng. He was anxious enough, but he was not dead yet!

Ming Ruicheng buried his head low, feeling uneasy.

He did not expect that the emperor would arrive suddenly.

I thought that no matter how capable the private doctor was, it would take at least two or three months of treatment to see results. In less than a month, he could not only get out of bed and walk around, but also come to court. This was too sudden.

Ming Rui Chengding was not even prepared at all.

On the other hand, the second prince was secretly happy. During these days, those courtiers who supported him were completely suppressed by the prince and were basically kicked out of the court. The Shen family was also unwilling to support him, which made him more and more passive.

His chances of winning are getting slimmer.

Now that the father is healthy, he will be dissatisfied after seeing what the prince has done. This means that his opportunity has come.

After a long time, the emperor finally said, "Pingshen!"

"Long live my emperor Xie, long live, long live!"

"I will report everything that happened while I was in bed!"

Several humerus ministers came out to report the recent events one by one.

What was reported were all trivial matters.

After hearing this, Shen Yu'an spoke quietly, "At the end of last year, after the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, there was a severe drought. After the severe drought, there were floods. There were countless deaths and injuries, and corpses littered the fields."

"At the beginning of this year, while the emperor was in bed, a plague broke out in areas hit by floods. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered the closure of the city, including Shuicheng, Ancheng, and Yecheng."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered that all persons infected with the plague be killed and buried on the spot. This move aroused public outrage, and the people of the three cities are now full of complaints. Those who have not yet been infected clamor at the city gates every day, and even spontaneously form militias , resisted the regular army of the imperial court. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered that all these unruly people be killed on the spot. Why not repay these things? "

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the courtiers changed.

The emperor had a gloomy face and glanced over with sharp eyes, "Is this the case?"

One of the ministers came out of the queue tremblingly, "Back to the Emperor, during the epidemic, the rebels took the opportunity to cause chaos. His Royal Highness sent troops to suppress the rebels and capture the rebels."

"Master Li, it's a shame to say this!" Shen Yu'an said coldly, "After the three cities were sealed, the owner of the Wangu Tower, Mo Liufang, sent hundreds of doctors to the three cities, but they were turned away by the defenders. They were not allowed to enter. , and are not allowed to go out.”

"Even food cannot be sent in. It is said that we are worried that someone will come into contact with people within the three cities and bring the epidemic to the outside world."

"The specific situation inside the three cities is unknown to the outside world."

"His Royal Highness has completely given up on the people of these three cities and left them to fend for themselves."

"Is this possible?" The emperor looked at Ming Ruicheng with sharp eyes.

Ming Ruicheng argued, "Back to my father, due to floods and droughts earlier, the court allocated millions of dollars. Now the treasury is empty. If the epidemic spreads widely, the situation will be difficult to control. I can only take measures that can be solved once and for all."

"You are stupid!" the emperor angrily shouted. "You are ignoring the people of the three cities. What will the people of the other cities think? Water can carry a boat and it can capsize it. How can the country be stable if the people lose their support?"
