Chapter 416 Struggle
The wound was not shallow, but the prince's face was expressionless, as if the blood that was injected was not his.

On the other hand, the emperor looked a little strange, but only for a moment.

"Don't worry, Jun Hong. Father will not let anything happen to you."

After all, he was his biological son, and the emperor couldn't help but speak.

"Father, I have nothing to worry about as long as you are happy."

This indifferent statement made the emperor's face look a little unhappy.

The prince's words were clearly saying that he hurt his own son for the sake of a woman and acted solely based on his own happiness and anger.

After that, the two of them stopped talking, and Chaoyang in the inner room seemed to be getting closer. His eyes were red and a little worried, but after all, he did not dare to say anything more.

After a while, Witch Doctor Mo Yu filled a large bowl with blood, and then immediately applied hemostatic medicine to the prince's wound.

Seeing this bowl of blood, the prince's usually gentle eyes couldn't help but have a hint of ridicule.

She needs so much of her own blood, Chaoyang, can she drink it all?
"The common people will give the prince some blood-replenishing prescriptions. When the prince goes back, he will order someone to cook them and drink them. He will definitely regain his strength quickly."

The witch doctor said to the prince with concern.

At this time, the prince's face was pale due to excessive blood loss, but his body stood tall and straight, and his demeanor remained calm, noble and inviolable.

"No need, I know it in my heart. Will I still come at this time tomorrow?"

But the prince didn't even look at the so-called witch doctor. Instead, he asked the emperor.

"Yes."

The emperor looked at his pale and bloodless face. After pondering for a moment, he said solemnly.

The lost blood could be replenished as long as he nourished it well, but if something happened to Chaoyang, it would mean two lives. He couldn't bear to leave Chaoyang, let alone their child.

"My son, I will come to the royal study room to report to my father about the court affairs at this time tomorrow."

The prince bowed respectfully to the emperor and then left.

But when he reached the door, he was stopped by the emperor.

"You don't want to go to court these days. Just say that I have other things to send you to do."

This look of weakness could not be concealed by the prince.

The prince couldn't help but sneer in his heart, when did his father become like this.

He doesn't let himself show up in front of others, probably because he is afraid that others will discover his unusual appearance.

Especially the Queen Mother and Gu Junheng.

If they knew what their father had done to them, they would probably go to their father to question them without any explanation, and at the same time stop this farce.

"it is good."

The prince sighed softly and agreed.

No matter what, it was his father who raised him up, had high hopes for him and trained him carefully.

This time, I think I am fulfilling my filial piety.

He was thinking something funny in his heart, but actually he was just comforting himself.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and after the prince left, he looked at witch doctor Mo Yu.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will prepare the medicine right now. In seven days, the imperial concubine and the baby will be safe and sound."

When he said the last four words, Mo Yu was extremely solemn.

The slightly gloomy face also looked a little more sincere.

"That's good, go ahead."

After Mo Yu left, the emperor walked into the inner room and saw Chaoyang, who had tears streaming down his face. "My beloved, why are you crying again?"

Seeing that no one was crying, the emperor immediately felt distressed and hurriedly stepped forward to take the beauty into the sea and comfort her carefully.

"I just saw the prince cutting his blood and using it as medicine, hurting his body, and I just felt guilty. Your Majesty, that is the prince, who will be the emperor of Chu in the future. To be like this now, I feel so uncomfortable."

Chaoyang leaned on the emperor's arms and spoke softly, with a sincere and frightened tone.

"In the final analysis, this incident is because of me. Will the prince blame me?"

Then Chaoyang asked the emperor hesitantly.

The emperor gently stroked Chaoyang's back to comfort him.

"Don't worry, my son I naturally know best. The prince is kind-hearted, open-minded, and the most filial. This is for me and his unborn brother. The prince will not blame anyone."

When he said these words, the emperor couldn't help but feel a bit of pride in his brows.

Such a good prince is well-known in the four countries, respected by the people, and loved by the ministers. He is also the son who was taught by him personally and is his successor.

Chaoyang inadvertently raised his eyes and saw the emperor's expression, but his heart felt cold.

Up to now, even after so many things, the emperor still has no intention of shaking the position of the prince.

Also, the prince's position is stable, he is appointed by heaven, and everyone in Chu respects him. Even the emperor cannot depose this prince.

"The Crown Prince is truly worthy of His Majesty's bloodline, with such a temperament and excellent qualities."

She knew very well that the emperor had a grudge in his heart, but it was not enough for him to make other decisions.

So I can only say these words at this time.

"Yes, he is worthy of being my son, and he is even better than me. As long as he sticks to his duties, my country will be his sooner or later."

The emperor muttered to himself, saying "keep your duty", but it made Chaoyang's eyes unconsciously filled with ridicule.

After waiting for almost an hour, the witch doctor came in with a bowl of medicine.

"The medicine has been prepared, please take it."

The emperor watched Chaoyang take a bowl of thick concoction. After waiting for a while, he saw that her pale and tired face had a little more color, and she looked much more energetic.

"This method really works. You and the child will be fine."

Taking Chaoyang's hand, the emperor said happily.

At the same time, I also made up my mind to cut blood and use it as medicine during these seven days, and I must not stop for one day.

The prince on the other side, except that his face was a little pale, still returned to the East Palace steadily.

It’s just that I didn’t go out again for the next few days.

The emperor also arranged for others to receive the envoys from the other three countries.

Gu Junheng and Lin Jinglan were doing their own things these days.

"Prince Concubine, Prince Yan is here again today and has brought many things, saying they are for Miss Yaoguang."

When Lin Jinglan was checking Yun Shangtian's recent account books, the servant walked in with helpless expressions to report.

Princess Jin intended to leave all matters in the palace to Lin Jinglan, so recently the servants were accustomed to reporting everything to her.

"Go back, Yao Guang is not needed. Also, the prince is not in the house, and it is not convenient for us and other women to have guests. Please send him back."

Lin Jinglan's eyes showed a bit of boredom. This man really looked like a clingy mouse.

Particularly upsetting.

"But, he has already gone to Miss Yaoguang's yard."
