The Enchanting Emperor

"Your Highness, the Wan is dead." From the time Luo Chun left the Eastern Palace to his return to the Eastern Palace was only a short two days. Just like that, Wan died. For a moment, Zhu Youtang felt extremely moved.

He had originally thought that the Wan was difficult to kill, but now it seemed that wasn't the case. Just a tiny bit of poison had killed Wan.

After all, it was a rare occasion for the Emperor to leave the palace to offer sacrifices to the heavens. If the Emperor was not in charge of overseeing the country, he would need the Crown Prince to look at all the troops and guards in the Imperial Palace. It would be very easy for the Crown Prince to kill Consort Wan.

"You don't have to be unwilling either. You are the crown prince and the future emperor. If you leave behind the notoriety of killing an elder in a history book, it will damage both your virtue and your reputation. Wan is already dead, it's just a title. "

"Crown Prince, it's best if you don't mind. The Wan Family should be defeated anyway." Compared to Zhu Youtang, the Empress Dowager Zhou had more thoughts about him, such as the most important filial piety and reputation in the Gui Clan.

"But Royal Grandmother, if I were to so easily let Consort Wan go, this grandson cannot accept this in my heart." It was not that Zhu Youtang didn't understand Empress Dowager Zhou's words, but because he did understand them, Zhu Youtang even more so didn't want to be trapped by his false reputation.

"This world belongs to me. If the emperor were to be threatened just because he cared about a good reputation, what would happen then?" This grandson has already decided that Consort Wan absolutely cannot have a good reputation. "

"You ordered your royal father to go out, do you think your royal father wouldn't notice? Now that you have grown up, half of imperial guards is in your hands. But you forgot that your royal father is the emperor. "

In the end, the Empress Dowager Zhou could not bear to see his own son, who he had cultivated for so many years, being removed just like that. I am your grandmother, how can I return it to you? Anyway, Wan is already dead, it's just a false reputation. "

"Wan is already dead, and after she was buried in her grave, she's just a pile of bones. Why do you need to drag down your reputation because of her? "

Empress Dowager Zhou did not care about a dead person's reputation in the history books. Be it good or bad, the things left behind in the history books were only written according to the imperial court's intentions. As a result, Empress Dowager Zhou never cared about these things and never paid any attention to them.

As long as the Wan does not enter the Tai Temple, they will not be buried in the Royal Tomb and sully their ancestors' eyes. Even if the emperor were to bestow the title of imperial concubine to the Wan, he wouldn't even blink. In any case, imperial concubine was just a form of address. Wan was only a concubine her whole life, what else could she do?

The so-called love between him and the Emperor was just a joke in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Zhou. So what if a woman that wasn't even a queen was pampered? He was just a ghost without a descendant to be sacrificed.

"Aunt, what do you think?" Zhu Youtang was not very clear on the reason behind Empress Dowager Zhou's actions, but what Empress Dowager Zhou said was very reasonable, so even if he was not willing, Zhu Youtang had to listen to it.

"Your grandmother is right, I think so too. Wan is already dead, if you leave her with a reputation that treats her well in the future, the ministers will only feel that you're righteous. In any case, the hundreds of officials at that time knew about the malice of the Wan. "

Princess Huiqing felt that once Wan died, the Wan Family would inevitably fall, although she didn't know why Zhu Youtang didn't do anything right now. However, this did not stop the news of the Wan Family from spreading quickly throughout the capital.

"Good, Understand will listen to what Royal Grandmother says."

"How do you plan to deal with the Wan Family? Crown Prince, don't be merciful. " Outside the Tzu Ning Palace, he then asked the question that puzzled him why the crown prince did not take action.

"Aunt, you should know as well. royal father is still offering sacrifices in the outskirts of the capital. If something were to happen to Wan Family, this kind of news would definitely not be able to be concealed from royal father. Isn't this all for the sake of hiding something from royal father? The only explanation I can give royal father is that he suddenly died. "

"Of course it's for the best if you can think like this, but you still have to remember, Wan does not get rid of all the future troubles."

There was always a time limit no matter how much he hid it from the emperor. It was just like how the emperor, after returning to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, was told that the Consort Wan had been dead for two days. How could such news not shock the Emperor?

"He's dead for two days, why hasn't anyone reported this to me?" Zhu Jianshen was furious, but he had also kicked over many things in the Palace of Heavenly Purity.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Don't frighten this servant." The servant serving the emperor, between a kick on the chair by Zhu Jianshen, quickly became breathless as his face became red. After that, Zhu Jianshen fell to the ground.

"His Highness Herba Euphorbiae is resting on the dragon bed." After leading Zhu Youtang to the front of the emperor, the servant tactfully left. Zhu Youtang looked at the emperor who was unconscious on the bed, then turned and walked out of the inner hall towards the imperial physician in the outer hall.

"Does royal father have any way to treat this illness?" As a mere imperial physician, how could he not answer the crown prince's question?

"Your Majesty has been refining pills all these years. You should be aware of this compared to your highness." This so-called medicinal pill had been revered by the Daoist since Qin Shi Huang, and even now, people still believed in it. In fact, there are even rumors in the annals of history that Emperor Taizong died because of medicinal pills. "

"His Highness has always been studying the history books of the country's policy, I presume His Highness knows these things." "Therefore, this pill actually does not have any benefits. Moreover, please forgive this subject for saying that this pill was added by someone else."

"Herba Euphorbiae thought that after consuming the pill, he became energetic, but the truth is that the Five Stones Powder only worked. In terms of the medicinal formula, this so-called Spiritual Boosting item is actually just the consumption of energy. To put it bluntly, the medicinal pill is useless. "

"So Imperial Physician meant to say that these things were all meant to take Imperial Father's life?" At this time, Zhu Youtang only thought of what the emperor had told him a few years ago. This way, I can be at ease and hand over the Da Ming Jiang Shan to you, and then I can do what I like.

Now that he thought about it, Zhu Youtang felt that his royal father was actually a little pitiful. He had been daydreaming all these years and the result was that he was actually killed.

"The imperial physician has always taken care of Imperial Father. Since when did this pill come into existence?" Zhu Youtang had a guess in his mind, but he didn't dare to ask directly.

"The Consort Wan Empress recommended a Daoist from the river to His Majesty a few years ago." Zhu Youtang heard it and immediately knew that it was true. This matter had still not gotten rid of the Wan.

"I understand. Imperial Physician Father will tell me the exact time. How much longer can Imperial Father live?" Zhu Youtang knew that the emperor had died because the emperor knew that the Consort Wan would not help him refine pills.

"Herba Euphorbiae has at most three months of time." Zhu Youtang waved his hand, indicating that he understood.

"Go and find the Imperial Physician Luo. I have something that I need the Imperial Physician Luo to do for me." Even if the emperor wasn't his father, Zhu Youtang couldn't just watch the emperor die. So Zhu Youtang still had to do what he had thought and did what he had thought.

They had to at least find the Imperial Physician Luo to know if the emperor was still alive. After all, there was a possibility that the Emperor might be able to save him.

"Siyan, are you sure you want to marry the crown prince?" Xie Qian was already one of the top three warriors in twenty years. As a scholar with a bright future, Xie Qian should not be so entangled with Zhang Siyan.

But love is always like this, if you let it grow freely like grass. However, if he repressed such feelings, it would be as heavy as alcohol. Regardless of which one it was, it was not a good thing for Zhang Siyan and Xie Qian's identities.

"Senior Apprentice Brother, I thought Siyan had made it clear enough. To Senior Apprentice Brother, Siyan is only a friendship between fellow disciples." I have never dared to have any presumptuous thoughts towards Senior Brother's words. "

Zhang Siyan had never thought that he would cause such a big misunderstanding after being together with Xie Qian for six years. Not to mention that he did not have any thoughts towards Xie Qian himself, but even if Xie Clan Courtyard and Xie Qian were to be betrothed to another person, Zhang Siyan would never do such a shameless thing like this.

The women in the pavilion had always valued rules and regulations. For men who were not related to their relatives, it was rare to see a girl in the house. Furthermore, meeting him in person meant avoiding suspicion, what's more, Xie Qian was someone who had an engagement with him, and such a man was someone who unmarried daughters would not be able to avoid.

If a man was found out that a woman was determined to marry, he would definitely be laughed at. Not only would he implicate his clients, he would also implicate all the unmarried daughters of a family. No one could bear such a crime.

Zhang Siyan couldn't figure out where he had given Xie Qian a bad hint, but the worst case scenario had already been created. Zhang Siyan could only find the crux of the problem and pray for a chance to save him.

"Senior Brother, Siyan has always thought that my every move and action will always follow the rules." But now, I don't know what exactly made you misunderstand. "However, I dare to say that I have always been respectful towards you, Senior Brother."

"Therefore, Siyan, please be careful not to ruin your own reputation." It has not been easy for the Xie Clan to reach this point. I still have to ask senior to reconsider. " Zhang Siyan did not give Xie Qian anymore chances, and turned to leave.

"Remember, do not meet with any more Xie Clan servants in the future. If I were to know who among you all is ignoring me, then it would be no different from serving me. "

"Yes Miss, this servant will remember." Xia Tang knew that Zhang Siyan was someone who would do what he said, and knew that it was the right time to avoid enmity with the Xie Clan. As a result, he did not dare wait for Zhang Siyan to do something.

Xie Qian didn't think that Zhang Siyan would leave him just like that, but it was true that Xie Qian didn't dare to chase after him. Zhang Siyan had already made it clear that he did not have any feelings for her.

Xie Qian still had to show some face. Under such straightforward words, the arrogance of a Xie Clan disciple still remained on Xie Qian's face. Therefore, Xie Qian could only stand in place and watch Zhang Siyan as he walked further and further away.

Just like this, Xie Qian seemed to be able to see his and Zhang Siyan's future. The two walked further and further away, no longer intersecting. One was the future Queen, while the other was a courtier from the Great Ming Dynasty. What future did these two have?

After refusing Xie Qian's invitation to return to the Zhang Mansion, he felt that it was still necessary to explain this to the servants by his side. After all, Xie Qian was gentle and refined, and also a graceful young master. It was very difficult to guard against such a person.

Zhang Siyan felt that since he wanted to break it, it must be cleanly and nimbly broken even more. He couldn't give Xie Qian any hope either, so he didn't want to leave any illusions for Xie Qian even for his Senior Brother.

"Mu Tang, remember what I told you. Go ahead and don't let the people from the Zhang Mansion casually place the Xie Clan's Young Master in their residence. In the future, all those who come to pay their respects shall be informed. "
