Rebirth of marriage

On the way back to the palace, Zhao Debao stood by carefully.

"Your Majesty, do you want to go to the private sector to find some doctors for the prince to see?" The emperor left the words of Xie Jiu to be buried with him and left Prince Xiao's Mansion.

Wang Yuanfan, Zhao Liu and others are left here, but if they have a way, King Xiao won't still be awake now. Is Your Majesty going to give up on King Xiao?

However, before His Majesty left, Xie Jiu stopped him and said something, but he was far away and could not hear clearly. He must have been begging for mercy or asking someone else to treat King Xiao.

There are many geniuses among the people, especially Xie Jiu, who is the disciple and grandson of the Qiu couple. The Qiu couple have a high status in the world, and they must know some capable doctors.

However, His Majesty seemed to ignore it.

He had the courage to ask this question, he really didn't want anything to happen to King Xiao.

The emperor, who had been closing his eyes since he got into the carriage, slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Debao.

When Zhao Debao saw the emperor's eyes clearly, he fell down on the carriage in shock. The emperor's eyes, which had been closed, were full of bloodshot eyes.

It was like someone who had cried for a long time, but he didn't see His Majesty shed a single tear. Your Majesty had swallowed all his tears.

"Old slave, I'll give you a compress." He hurriedly climbed to the corner of the carriage, soaked the handkerchief in the ice bucket, wrung out the water, and gently pressed the cold handkerchief on the emperor's eyelids.

Your Majesty definitely doesn't want anyone to see his eyes like this, especially the Queen's and her son's. These eyes can reveal His Majesty's true feelings.

Fortunately, it is hot now and there is an ice bucket in the carriage.

Looking at the emperor who closed his eyes and let him apply it to his eyes, Zhao Debao suddenly felt blessed and understood the emperor's intention of letting Xie Jiu be buried with him.

His Majesty didn't really want to be buried with him, or he didn't give up on His Highness Prince Xiao at all.

If you don't want Xie Jiu to be buried with you, you have to try to save Prince Xiao. The Qiu couple, Prince Gong and other people who don't want Xie Jiu to die will try their best to find someone who can heal Prince Xiao.

"De Bao, how are they?" The emperor asked the third and fourth princes.

Zhao Debao replied softly, "The third prince fainted and will probably not be able to get out of bed for a month or two. The fourth prince howled loudly, but it was just some superficial injuries."

"After returning to the palace, go directly to the fourth child's bedroom."

"Yes."

Zhao Debao took off the handkerchief, returned to the ice bucket, and put the handkerchief on ice again. The master and servant were silent all the way.

Arriving in front of the fourth prince's palace, the emperor's eyesight had improved a lot.

When they entered, the fourth prince was groaning.

The emperor waved his servants away, "Fourth, do you know you are wrong?"

The fourth prince looked up at the emperor, his face as gentle as ever. He subconsciously wanted to act coquettishly, but thinking of his father's murderous eyes in the imperial study, he hesitated for a moment and said respectfully, "I know you were wrong, you shouldn't go. There’s trouble at brother’s house.”

"Silly boy." The emperor sat beside his bed and stroked the top of his head. "You were wrong because you should not have been misled by your third brother. My father always thought that it was not easy for a royal child to be born. My father had a difficult life in the past. I just want to make you and your third brother live a happier life.

Your third brother has your mother's love and affection, so your father will pamper you more. Unexpectedly, he will pamper you like this, without any thought. "

The fourth prince's eyes turned red when he saw his familiar father coming back, "Father, I know I was wrong. I feel so hurt."

The emperor said with pity, "Father, my heart hurts even more, but when you go to make trouble together, father can't just beat your third brother. Even so, your mother blames father for being partial to you, and she will have to make trouble with him later. Later, my father will ask Debao to send some good ointment, please listen carefully to the doctor."

"Father." The fourth prince held the emperor's hand, "I have realized my mistake. I should not distrust my father. My father is the best person for me."

The emperor sighed, hesitated to speak, and after retreating Zhao Debao, he said seriously, "It's good that you know that in the past, my father's expectation for you was just that you would be safe and happy in this life.

But what happened today makes my father have to remind you that there are no brothers in the royal family. My father knows that you have no ambitions. If your third brother misunderstands you, you need to be more alarmed. Don't fall into the hands of others again. knife.

Father, what happened this time has also made my father disappointed in your third brother. My father originally thought that he was just mediocre in qualifications, but at least he was sincere to your fellow brother, but..."

But the third brother showed no mercy to him. If he punched him down, Gu Xiao would die on the spot. As witnessed by all the ministers, even if his father protected him, he would probably have to die or pay a heavy price. The third brother was the only one left under his father's knees, and he effortlessly excepted him and Gu Xiao at the same time.

The emperor looked at the fourth prince with kind eyes and said, "Take good care of yourself. My father will have to visit your third brother again. If he is annoyed that your father favors you and holds a grudge against you, your father will harm you."

"Farewell to my father." The fourth prince lay on the bed with an emotional expression. His father shouldn't have said these words to him, but for his sake, his father said them anyway. The queen mother and uncle had always regarded the third brother as the successor to the throne. He came to train him, and he only cared about the third brother in his heart. In this world, only his father truly loved him.

He looked at the emperor's back with admiration in his eyes, but he couldn't see that when the emperor turned around, the kindness on his face instantly turned into disgust.

After fifty strokes, the third prince was unconscious until he woke up just now. The queen was worried about him and never left. When she saw the emperor coming, she saluted with an unhappy expression.

"How is the third prince?" The emperor seemed not to notice the queen's expression, and walked to the third prince's bed and sat down.

Although the third prince woke up, his consciousness was still hazy, and he resented the emperor in his heart, so he simply lay on the bed with his eyes closed.

"My flesh and blood are all mutilated, what else can I do?" the queen complained.

There was sympathy on the emperor's face, but his tone was stern, "Don't blame me. If you want to blame, just blame you and your good brother. I know that I am not a good emperor. I have relied on your Cao family for everything these years. That’s why I decided that the third child would be taught by you.

But look at what kind of child you have brought up. How confused he is today. If I don’t slap him fifty times and silence all the ministers, he will lose his status as a prince because of this. Even lost his life.

He murdered his elder brother and plotted against his younger brother. If the people knew what he did today, how could they support him?

This is the child taught by your Cao family. Gu Xiao is already dead, so why should he be so impatient that he takes his fourth child to cause trouble?

Even if Gu Xiao was lucky enough to save his life, why shouldn't he tolerate him? Since the day the third son was born as his legitimate son, some things already belonged to him. Why should he make those unnecessary things and make the third son suffer this for nothing? suffering? "

The emperor leaned over and touched the third prince's head, and his tone gradually softened, "The child doesn't know why I am so strict with him on weekdays. Don't you know it too? He has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, so I have very high requirements for him.

But as parents, there is always one who is a bad person and another who is a good person. I have been such a strict father, and you should be that kind mother. However, you have forced your child to do this. In the future, you must not force him like this again. , he is my legitimate son, born to be outstanding, who dares to say that he is not? "

The queen had never seen the emperor speak so sternly to her, but his words were full of fatherly love for the third prince, so she didn't know how to refute.

Then the emperor said again, "The King Xiao is in trouble, and the imperial doctors can't do anything. If he really dies, even if I beat him up, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince everyone. After all, many ministers have witnessed it." Today's incident, especially if I don't do something about the elm knot forest, I'm afraid he will really die and make a fuss known to the world."

He sighed, "I plan to grant marriage to the third child and Cao Yunjiao, so I said that the third child asked for it in order to bring happiness to King Xiao. You will arrange their marriage within three days."

In this way, the people felt sorry for the third child's hasty marriage for their elder brother. Even if word spread, it would be difficult for people to believe that a person who sacrificed his own marriage for his elder brother would really have the intention to murder his elder brother. "

"But the third child doesn't like Yunjiao, so how can the wedding be arranged in three days? Your Majesty, you can't wrong the third child like this."

According to convention, when the prince reaches adulthood, he must be given the title of prince and a mansion, and he must move out of the palace. However, the emperor never mentioned this matter. She thought that sooner or later the third child would be made a prince and move into the East Palace. It would be troublesome to move around. I didn't mention it. As for the fourth child, he is the youngest son. It would be better to stay with them in the palace for a few more years.

But now the third child is getting married within three days. Not to mention the wedding, even the mansion has no time to prepare. She will never agree and is about to say anything else.

The emperor shouted sharply, "You are confused, how can you be happy when you are gone? Is the popularity of the third child more important, or the marriage? If he is not happy, he will marry again in the future."

"Can……"

"My son is willing." The third prince, who had been pretending to be asleep and listened to everything, said weakly.

For the first time, he knew that his father's harsh treatment of him actually had good intentions, and it was not that he disliked himself.

As for marriage and women, wouldn't they be within easy reach when he ascends the throne as emperor?

"Good boy, I'm sorry for you." The emperor touched his head again, "You just want to have a good life, my father is starting to do this."

After saying that, he quickly walked out of the palace and went to the royal study.

Seeing Zhao Debao leaving with the Minghuang Imperial Edict, what rang in the emperor's ears were Xie Jiu's words, "Xie Jiu is not afraid of being buried with him. Even if you don't issue this edict, Xie Jiu will never abandon His Highness to live alone.

But if His Highness is not avenged, the little girl will not be willing to die. If you still have any affection for His Highness as a father and son, please immediately grant marriage to the third prince and Cao Yunjiao, and ask them to get married within three days. "
