I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 442 I will give you perfection!
It was a month later when Liu Che saw this secret letter.

Naturally, his first reaction was disbelief. He immediately asked the Chief Physician and the Deputy Chief Physician to find out the situation in private. Finally, he also recruited his own sister, Princess Pingyang Liu Zhao, into the palace.

"Sister Royal, you have been with Wei Qing day and night. Did you notice anything unusual about him before he went on this expedition?"

Naturally, Liu Che would not directly say that Wei Qing was suffering from a terminal illness, but only hinted at it.

"?!"

When Liu Zhao heard this question, his expression changed and he became so nervous that he lowered his voice.
"I don't know what kind of abnormality your majesty is referring to. It is true that I have been with Wei Qing day and night, but I rarely ask about his affairs, so it is possible that I am completely unaware of it."

It’s no wonder that Liu Zhao rushed to clear himself of the blame. The main reason was that Liu Che’s question was too scary.

"Are there any unusual phenomena before the expedition?" Wei Qing was now leading troops outside, and Liu Che's sudden question could not help but make people think a lot, and even guess that he was plotting a rebellion.

"If there is anything unusual, such as physical abnormalities, unusual words spoken, or unusual people seen, please tell me what you know."

Liu Che gave a slight hint, but he did not limit the problem to the physical aspect. He also hinted at the aspects that Liu Zhao was worried about.

After all, Wei Qing is not an ordinary person. His influence is too great, so we have to take precautions in this regard.

"Speaking of these, I have never heard of any unusual words, nor have I seen him meet any unusual people."

Liu Zhao pondered as he recalled the past.
"But he did have some hidden illnesses. His abdomen often ached and he couldn't sleep all night. He even invited the imperial physician to see him. The physician seemed to say that his wood energy was damaged and gave him some prescriptions to teach him how to take good care of himself... That's right!"

"He often has a lot of purple bruises on his body, not just on his abdomen and limbs, but also on his back. I also thought he had practiced wrestling with others, and I advised him to take care of his body at his age, but he didn't even know where these bruises came from."

"I can prove this, too."

"One day he stayed at my place. He was fine when he went to bed at night, but when he woke up in the morning, he had two more bruises."

"I have been panicking for days, wondering if someone is secretly cursing him, so I have specially found a few foreign wizards to exorcise the evil spirits in the General's Mansion... I remember that Your Majesty has some skilled wizards in the palace and Ganquan Palace, how about Your Majesty send a few people to the General's Mansion to help me take a look?"

"..."

Hearing this, Liu Che's expression became slightly more serious, and he nodded absentmindedly.
"Okay, I will order a few wizards to go to the General's Mansion to take a look..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. This is all I know. I cannot tell you about the rest. However, if Your Majesty wants to know something, you can tell me directly. I can find out for Your Majesty secretly. After all, it is our own business. How dare I not take it to heart?"

Liu Zhao bowed and said with his eyes lowered.

"Oh……"

Liu Che came back to his senses, then revealed an extremely unnatural smile, waved his hand and said,

"I am just asking casually, so please don't mind. I invited you to the palace today because I haven't seen you for a while and I miss you for some reason. I just want to chat with you about family matters."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am flattered."

Although Liu Zhao expressed his gratitude, he couldn't help feeling a little surprised in his heart. Why did the emperor's brother become so sentimental? Was it because he was getting old?
"There's no need to be so formal with family. Come and sit down. I have already sent someone to inform Li Yannian to prepare a program. He will bring people over later to entertain us. Sister, please have a few glasses of wine with me... Let's have some Western wine today."

"Leave it to His Majesty's arrangement."

...On that day, Liu Che was rarely drunk.

He sang loudly in the Qingliang Palace, snatched the musicians' instruments and played them in a disorderly manner, which frightened Liu Zhao, Li Yannian and other musicians so much that they were completely at a loss.

Fortunately, Su Wen, who was familiar with Liu Che's temperament, was present. After repeated consolation and persuasion, he finally helped Liu Che to sleep.

"These father and son are so alike..."

After Liu Che got dressed and got on the bed, Su Wen wiped the sweat off his head and face, sighed inwardly, and came to the outer hall, saying to Liu Zhao and Li Yannian in a low voice,
"Princess, Captain Li, please do not say anything more about today's matter after you leave. Go back first. If His Majesty has anything else to do, he will summon you later."

He also didn't know who between Liu Che and Liu Ju was better at drinking.

Anyway, when Liu Ju was drunk, he sang and danced "Spin and Jump", and he no longer looked like a prince at all. A similar thing happened when Liu Che was still a prince, but it was not as sensational as the one Liu Ju caused.

But speaking of it, this father and son have very strong self-control.

It is said that Liu Ju hardly drank any alcohol after that, and Liu Che also controlled his drinking for decades after he ascended the throne. He only took a few sips symbolically at celebrations in order not to spoil the fun of his ministers.

I don’t know what happened to Your Majesty today. You suddenly lost control of yourself.

After seeing off Liu Zhao and Li Yannian, Su Wen returned to the inner hall to take care of Liu Che. As soon as he arrived in front of the bed, he smelled a pungent sour odor.

Liu Che had vomited a large pool of filth in front of the couch without knowing when, and the couch was also stained with a lot of it.

"What should I do?"

Su Wen just felt a headache. He was older than Liu Che and was nearly sixty years old. Now he could not handle this mess alone. After all, Liu Che was tall and naturally heavy. A drunk person would only make people feel even heavier.

At the moment, we can only call a few tight-lipped eunuchs to come in and help.

But before that, he still had to help Liu Che up and wipe the dirt off his body and face. After all, he tried his best not to let anyone else see Liu Che in such a miserable state except himself.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"

Thinking of this in his mind, Su Wen had no choice but to endure the sour smell and move forward, calling Liu Che softly.

"Well……"

Liu Che uttered a muffled groan, raised his head, and looked at Su Wen with a dazed and dull look. He looked at him for a long time, about three breaths, before he made an indistinct tongue-rolling sound.
"Wei Qing...Wei Qing, you're back?"

"Why did you come back? Didn't Zi'er say that he would give you a happy ending? Why don't you accept Zi'er's kindness... why don't you stay in the Western Regions... and... put on your armor and fight the Xiongnu to the death?"

"I agree, I agree this time, go ahead, go quickly!"

Liu Che raised his hand and pushed Su Wen, and suddenly he burst into tears, crying like a child.
"You go ahead. I don't care anymore. Why do you still care?"

"Are you blaming me?"

"You can't blame me. I have my own difficulties. Just go this time. Kill him without a single piece of armor left. Fight him till the sky is dark. I will give you the perfect result..."
