Chapter 237 The Crown Prince Sees the Third Prince and Wen Mingzhu

After the emperor returned to the palace, he separated from Concubine De. He went back to the Yangxin Palace alone and washed more than ten buckets of water in a row.

Only then did he feel relaxed all over. He felt the effectiveness of the pill and took two more, but no more bad smell came out of his body.

This is a good sign, indicating that his condition has been brought under control and is gradually improving, but the specific situation can only be known after the imperial physician takes his pulse.

When the imperial doctors heard that the emperor kept asking for hot water, they thought he was indulging in sexual activities without paying attention to his health, and they were all terrified.

The emperor summoned them to the Yangxin Palace to feel his pulse. "I have received a few pills. After taking them, a foul smell will come out of your body. Come and help me feel my pulse."

The head of the Imperial Hospital was the first to come forward. After he examined his left hand, he also examined his right hand. "Hey, all of you come up and take my pulse."

After the imperial doctors finished taking the emperor's pulse, they all breathed a sigh of relief and knelt down to kowtow, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for obtaining this miraculous medicine."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "What is the specific situation? Stand up and tell me."

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

The imperial doctors stood up and stepped aside. The head of the hospital stood in front of the emperor and said, "The emperor's pulse is stable, and his chronic illness is slowly recovering."

"Rewards, hahahaha, everyone gets rewards." The emperor laughed happily.

After appreciating the imperial physician, the emperor walked out of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity and took a deep breath towards the sky.

He raised his eyes to look at the setting sun in the sky, which was shining with colorful rays of light in the afterglow.

However, he was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery, because such a beautiful but short-lived scenery would soon disappear.

At this moment, he really wanted to go to Defei's Yunshu Palace to share his feelings with her, but he still said loudly: "I want to go to Kunning Palace!"

After the emperor finished speaking loudly, he walked out without sitting in the sedan chair. He walked quickly and walked out of the Yangxin Palace in a flash.

In the palace full of flowers, the emperor was leisurely strolling as if he was in a garden, and the eunuchs and guards immediately followed him.

The emperor led the eunuchs and headed straight for Kunning Palace. On the way, they met the prince and the princess, who hurried forward to greet them.

"Stand up." The emperor said calmly, looking straight ahead without looking at anyone.

Before today, he would be out of breath after walking three steps, but now he walked for an incense stick's time without even getting out of breath.

His whole mind is focused on this now, and if he isn't out of breath when walking, how can he care about anything else?

"Father..." the prince shouted, and looking at the emperor who walked with a swift gait, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

I was very confused. Didn't the imperial physician say that my father wouldn't live long? Why did he look like this?
His father is just one step away from being able to walk as fast as the wind!

Is he cured?
His staff said that the emperor did not have much time left, and the only one in the court who could compete with him was the third prince.

As long as the third prince was killed, his position as crown prince would be safe, so he sent someone to assassinate his third brother today.

If his father had recovered, what was the point of him sending people to assassinate his third brother?

The reason why he was obsessed with beauty and ignored state affairs was because his father, the emperor, was not in good health and he wanted to anger the emperor to death as soon as possible.

After finally making the emperor so angry that he was on his last breath, he killed the third prince to prevent future trouble.

When the emperor heard the prince calling out but not speaking, he stopped and snorted, "Is your mother in the palace?"

The prince nodded quickly and said, "Father, the Queen Mother is here. I just finished talking to her."

"Well, I'll go find her now." After the emperor said this, he continued to move forward with steady steps and soon walked away.

The prince frowned slightly as he watched the emperor leave. "Xiao Shunzi, do you think the emperor doesn't look like a patient?" "Your Highness, I heard from the doctors this morning that the emperor will not survive the Dragon Boat Festival next year."

"Yeah." The prince's heart was relieved. He had to hurry back to see the results of tonight's battle.

Little did he know that his beloved concubine, Wen Mingzhu, had already told the Third Prince about tonight's plan.

The third prince took advantage of the situation and led the Eastern Palace's assassins to assassinate the fifth prince.

The third prince didn't know that the emperor wanted to support the fifth prince. In the third prince's mind, that was not a possible thing.

But that did not prevent him from using the Fifth Prince. Whether the Crown Prince's assassins killed the Fifth Prince or not, the Third Prince would not suffer any loss.

If the emperor knew that the crown prince sent assassins to kill the fifth prince, he would definitely punish the crown prince.

Isn't it a joke that a crown prince cannot tolerate a prince with no foundation?
The Third Prince arranged everything. When he learned that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had entered the palace to have lunch with the Queen, he quietly asked Wen Mingzhu to leave the palace.

The emperor didn't know yet that the crown prince he was most satisfied with posed no threat to the third prince.

He walked all the way to the Queen's Kunning Palace, and the waiting palace maid hurried in to report.

Upon hearing this, the Queen came out in person with the eunuchs and palace maids to greet them. She bowed gracefully and said, "Your Highness, I respectfully wish the Emperor a long life."

The emperor held out his hand to help her up and said, "Queen, please excuse me. Do you want to have dinner?"

The Queen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't had dinner yet. What is the matter that the Emperor has come to me at this time?"

She knew that the emperor had been having trouble eating and sleeping recently, and he didn't get much sleep every night.

He never was late for the morning court and even stayed in the imperial study all day to teach the Fifth Prince how to review memorials.

Although the emperor has always put state affairs first and worked diligently for the people, this is not going to work.

She was very worried about the emperor's health, especially now because she couldn't guess what the prince was thinking.

At noon today, the Crown Prince actually brought the Crown Princess to have lunch with her. Without Concubine Wen by his side, the Queen felt that the Crown Prince was fine.

"Why can't you come if you're fine? I've always been grateful for the Queen's dedication. I haven't had dinner with you for a long time due to poor health." The emperor said, holding the Queen's hand.

"Your Majesty took time out of his busy schedule to have dinner with me. I am extremely grateful for your kindness." The Queen's face was filled with joy.

Her gentle and virtuous appearance made the emperor feel a little guilty, and he was not sure whether he had recovered.

Therefore, the emperor wanted to depose the crown prince as soon as possible, pass the throne to his beloved son, and then travel around the mountains and rivers of Dasheng with his beloved woman.

He felt guilty towards his first wife and wanted to have a few more meals with her before leaving.

The queen had no idea what the emperor was thinking. Seeing that he looked very good, she thought he was having a last burst of energy, so she didn't dare to tell him about the prince.

The emperor felt guilty and wanted to compensate the queen, so he naturally said nice things. Therefore, the emperor and queen had a very happy meal.

The third prince personally sent Wen Mingzhu back. When he saw the crown prince and the crown princess at the gate of the East Palace, he greeted them with a guilty conscience.

"Brother Crown Prince, the little sister-in-law is back. I was just about to go in to look for you!"

The prince was delighted to see that his third brother was not only alive, but also standing at the door talking to his concubine with a rosy face.

Wen Mingzhu's cheeks were as rosy as clouds, her eyes were as spring-like as water, and her body was delicate and weak.

Such a shy and lovely appearance made the Crown Prince's heart tighten. He quickly let go of the Crown Princess and walked over to ask, "Why did you run out to wait for me?"
