"Your Majesty, I would like to see the young prince's butler." The person who spoke was Lin Feng, the manager of Prince Kang's Mansion.

"Let him come in!" King Kang looked at Lin Feng and extended his hand to signal.

After a while, Xue Kang's housekeeper Lu Bao hurried in and knelt in front of King Kang.

"Your Majesty, something serious has happened." Lu Bao said anxiously.

"It's unbecoming to be in a panic. Is this how you, a butler of a dignified prince's house, behave? You can't keep your composure at all."

King Kang looked at Lu Bao, picked up the tea bowl from the table and drank calmly, angrily scolding Lu Bao while drinking.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, unfortunately something big happened this time." Lu Bao said while kneeling on the ground and kowtowing.

"What's the matter? You're hesitating, but you should explain it clearly." King Kang glanced at him disdainfully.

"The thing is like this. A few days ago, the young prince didn't think about tea or food. He kept calling "concubine" and "concubine" all day long. The slave thought that the prince wanted to get married, so he started chatting with him. While I was chatting with the prince, I felt that the young prince was speaking a little garbled and garbled, which was very abnormal, so I asked the imperial doctor from the Imperial Hospital to diagnose and treat the young prince," Lu Bao continued.

"What was the result of the diagnosis and treatment?" King Kang stood up and walked towards Lu Bao, grabbing him by the collar and asking angrily.

"The imperial doctor said that the young prince is suffering from lovesickness." After saying that, Lu Bao's body slipped out of Prince Kang's hand.

"What a joke, what kind of girl is so virtuous that my son can fall in love with her and get lovesick? What kind of woman does he want? Just grab it for him." As he said this, King Kang waved his hand to let Lu Bao retreat. Down.

"My lord, you don't know something. I thought so too at first, but I heard from the attendant who was following the young prince that on that day, Prince Mei Xichen of Jingyang was getting married. The young prince brought a gift to congratulate him and drank a few glasses of wine. The young prince broke into the princess's room." Lu Bao continued.

"So what? Could it be?" King Kang asked Lu Bao with wide eyes.

"Later I heard from the two attendants that the young prince was beaten out shortly after entering. At that time, they felt that this was not a glorious thing and it was not convenient to publicize it, so they returned to the palace. Unexpectedly, the next day, the young prince started tea He didn't want to think or eat. At that time, we thought that the young prince was just angry and a little depressed, but we didn't expect that the disease became more and more serious."

"Now I have started talking to myself. I really don't know what to do, so I came to report the situation to the prince to see if there is any way to cure the illness of the prince." Lu Bao said with a choked voice while wiping his nose and tears. .

"What a useless thing. He spends all his time living and drinking. He doesn't share any serious work, and he only causes trouble for me."

As he spoke, the prince slapped the table with his hand vigorously, and the teacup was knocked to the ground. There was a "pop" sound, and the whole teacup fell to the ground. Upon seeing this, the maid next to him hurriedly walked to the table and squatted down, picking up the fallen teacup. Debris on the ground.

"Steward Lin, hurry up and prepare the sedan. I'll go take a look at this unsatisfactory thing." King Kang turned to Lin Feng and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, my subordinates will get ready right now." Lin Feng bowed and walked outside.

In about one stick of incense, Prince Kang's sedan stopped at the gate of Prince Qingyang's Mansion.

"Get off the sedan..." Manager Lin shouted.

"Your Majesty, please." Lu Bao led the way, guiding Kang Dynasty to his son's room.

As soon as King Kang entered the door, he saw Xue Kang sitting on the bed. He was disheveled and his hair was messy. He was sneering and kept calling "Princess, Princess, you are my king's, I want to marry you home". , repeating these sentences over and over again.

The imperial doctor next to him saw King Kang arriving, quickly stood up and retreated behind him.

"How is my son's condition, imperial physician?" King Kang asked.

"I would like to inform you, the young prince, that his illness may not be easy to cure. As the saying goes, heart disease requires heart medicine. If the young prince's wish cannot be fulfilled, I am afraid..." The imperial doctor did not dare to continue talking, so he fell silent in the middle of the sentence. down.

"According to your wishes, wouldn't I want to capture Mei Xichen's princess and treat him?" Prince Kang yelled.

"I dare not say this, but there is really no better way to treat this disease."

"The only thing I can do now is to use medicine to keep the young prince's condition from getting worse, and then use other methods to solve his dietary problem so that he won't faint from hunger. As for the rest, let the prince decide." The imperial doctor shook his head and said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, King Kang became furious and overturned all the tea sets on the Eight Immortals' table to the ground.

"You bunch of useless things, what's the use of the imperial court raising you? Get out of here." Seeing this, everyone quickly bowed and retreated.

At this time, only three people, King Kang, Xue Kang and Butler Lin, were left in the room.

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, Mei Xichen was supposed to have his last day next month. Unexpectedly, news came from the palace that since the Mid-Autumn Festival, he fell in love with the oiran at Yueling Flower Pavilion and married her. Later, that princess knew medical skills and was able to break the insect poison in his body, and is currently recovering." Lin Feng continued quickly.

"You were not in Kyoto City a few days ago. Gu Nianfeng came to see you. I heard from him that all our people, including members of the Jinyi Guards, have been punished by Mei Xichen and executed. Now he is the only one left. Gu Nianfeng has also been executed. Empty.”

"According to his report, the queen had hosted a banquet for Mei Xichen and his wife some time ago. It was nominally to chat about family affairs, but in fact it was intended to recommend Mei Xichen. Sure enough, the day after the banquet, the emperor issued an imperial edict. , appointed Mei Xichen as the Commander of the Jinyi Guards to command the entire Jinyi Guards."

King Kang quickly raised his hand to signal Lin Feng to stop talking.

"Let me think about the ins and outs of this matter." King Kang fell into deep thought and said to Lin Feng in a low tone.

"This emperor is not stupid. He wants to support his own power. Could it be that he is on guard against me?" King Kang looked at Lin Feng in confusion.

"If this is the case, then we still cannot underestimate the emperor. I will go to the palace tomorrow to see the imperial concubine and ask her to pay more attention to the emperor's movements. According to the current situation, we cannot take any action. As for Imperial Master Yagong, There is news that he is still practicing in seclusion, we must not act too hastily, lest we ruin the plan." King Kang said.

"The prince should not have kept that Mei Xichen back then. If he had killed him quickly..." Lin Feng said.

"This is wrong. Both his father and brother died in the battle with Yagong. Although our army won this battle, it also suffered heavy losses. Mei Xichen was still young at that time and did not participate in the war. If he had He died there, how should he explain it?"

"If Mei Xichen is not spared but gets rid of him, leading to the demise of the Mei family, I am afraid that it will make the civil and military officials of the court suspicious. If the higher-ups investigate, it may not be easy to deal with based on our power at the time. In addition, Mei Xichen has been a half-dead sick man for the past ten years, we just let him breathe a few more times."

"But what I am more concerned about now is this princess. The person who can detoxify this poison must not be an ordinary person." King Kang twirled his beard and snorted.
