Summer passed, and at the beginning of autumn, the prince who was under house arrest was pardoned, and the ministers who were imprisoned in the East Palace were also released.

The emperor was still ill and could not get up to go to court. He could only half-recline on the bedside. There was a small table on the bed, and he reviewed piles of memorials by candlelight.

At first, the queen would try to persuade him, but after being rejected by the emperor several times, she never mentioned it again. She just lit the candle a little when he was reviewing the memorial, and then added the medicine three times a day to the day. four times. The emperor seemed to be soaked in Chinese medicine, and his whole body exuded a strong medicinal smell.

On the day the prince was released, he came to kneel outside the palace.

The emperor reviewed the memorial with a cold face and ignored the prince's request for an audience. The prince knelt down and knelt for four hours, until the emperor was about to go to bed, and then he was allowed to enter.

That night, the father and son didn't know what they said. The next day, the prince took over all the responsibilities of the ninth prince and began to supervise the country.

In the prince's supervision of the country, the princelings who once had their tails between their legs began to emerge again, and for a time they were unparalleled.

Prince Mo Chen is only one step away from the dragon chair.

-

The emperor's palace.

The queen waited for the emperor to drink the medicine, and carefully wiped the water stains around the emperor's mouth with a handkerchief.

The emperor was half-leaning against the bedside. Months of illness had made him look a lot thinner, but he was in good spirits and his eyes were bright.

"Lao Jiu has been sick for some time, right?" The emperor suddenly asked Mo Xiao, frowning slightly, "Is he feeling well now?"

When mentioning this, the queen's eyes looked a little sad and she said softly: "I just ordered someone to check on him yesterday. He has lost a lot of weight and is still bedridden."

The emperor frowned: "What is the reason?"

"Mr. Mu hasn't found out the cause yet, so we can only prescribe medicine to stabilize his current situation. It may take some time for him to be completely cured."

The queen pulled the quilt to cover the emperor, and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry about him anymore, your own health is more important."

The emperor looked at the queen with a little more pity, and stretched out his hand to hold the queen's hand: "It's really hard on you. You have to take care of me, and you have to worry about Lao Jiu."

Queen: "Your Majesty is my husband, and he is my child. Everything I do is what I should do as a wife and mother. It doesn't have to be hard."

The emperor pursed his lips and held her hand a little harder.

"Have you ever complained about me?"

The queen was stunned: "Why did your majesty say this?"

"I released the prince and took away the authority from Lao Jiu."

"..."

The queen was a little dumbfounded: "This is what the prince should do. A few days ago, he just did what he could on behalf of his father and brother. Now it can only be said that the property has been returned to its original owner. How can it be said that it was taken away?"

"What's more, His Majesty also knows his temperament. He has no great potential and just wants to be an idler eating, drinking and having fun."

The emperor shook his head with some disapproval, and rarely told the truth to his queen: "Lao Jiu's qualifications are higher than those of the prince."

If the country is left to Mo Xiao, he will do better than the prince. Of course, the emperor did not say this.

The queen didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't praise him, otherwise he will be too happy to find the edge."

The emperor's eyes softened, and he held the queen's hand in his hand, feeling warm to his heart.

He was very satisfied with the fact that his queen and legitimate son had not fought over each other for so many years and never coveted things that did not belong to them.
