The emperor glanced at the eunuch behind him and shook his head: "You! You are the smartest!"
The eunuch smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind."
At this time, the eunuch outside came in and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Liang wants to see you."
Emperor: “…”
A feeling of depression came over me.
Which concubine has offended her this time
Aren’t you pregnant
Can you stay in your own palace
The emperor still said: "Announce!"
~
Soon, Chu Tianyu came in supporting Concubine Liang.
As soon as Concubine Liang came in, she knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please make a decision for my nephew Li Yuan! Woo woo..."
As he said this, he covered his face and cried, looking extremely aggrieved!
Chu Tianyu knelt down respectfully: "Your Highness, I greet you, Father!"
The emperor was stunned for a moment before he realized who Li Yuan was.
He stepped forward and helped Concubine Liang up: "My beloved concubine is pregnant, how can you kneel down! The ground is cold, get up quickly, and tell me slowly! Someone, please give me a seat!"
Concubine Liang knelt on the ground and refused to get up: "If the emperor does not make the decision for me, I will kneel down forever! Woohoo... Poor Li Yuan is almost dead..."
The emperor frowned and looked at the second prince: "What's going on?"
Chu Tianyu: "Replying to the Emperor, my brother inexplicably hit my cousin Li Yuan with a palm and sent him flying. Now he..."
The emperor accidentally blurted out: "Is he dead?"
Chu Tianyu: “… Not yet.”
The emperor then realized that what he had just said was inappropriate.
But it’s okay as long as you’re not dead!
The censors in the court impeached every day that either the son of this minister beat someone, or the grandson of that minister beat someone to a cripple. Finally, it was his son's turn to beat someone!
And he is the prince!
It's really rare!
The emperor coughed and asked, "How is the Prime Minister's grandson injured? Why did the prince suddenly attack someone?"
"My brother was too harsh and broke several ribs of cousin Li Yuan. The doctor said he had internal injuries and is still unconscious. The doctor said he needs thousand-year-old ginseng as medicine to save his life!"
Thousand-year-old ginseng can save lives? The injury is indeed quite serious! The emperor thought.
"I don't know why my eldest brother suddenly attacked someone. Today, I made an appointment with my cousin Li Yuan and others to go horseback riding in the suburbs. I happened to see my eldest brother teaching people to ride horses there, so I took people to greet him. At that time, my eldest brother was riding a horse with a man. When we passed by, they just stopped, and my eldest brother took the young man off the horse, and then put his cloak on him. Senior brother Li Yuan was curious about the identity of the man, so he took a look at him, and my eldest brother suddenly attacked and knocked him away with one palm!"
His words were already implying that Chu Tiankuo attacked the man because of his male lover.
In fact, there were quite a few carriages passing by on the official road today, and some people outside were already discussing the fact that the Crown Prince had severely injured someone for his male favorite.
He didn't even need to spread the news, Chu Tiankuo was courting death this time!
My mother said that after the court session today, many officials will submit petitions to hold a ceremony to confer titles. With this, he still wants to be conferred a title, haha...
Upon hearing this, the emperor was furious!
The emperor roared, "This is outrageous! How can this be? Ridiculous! How can a prince do such a thing! My beloved, don't worry, I will punish him! Get up quickly, the ground is cold, don't disturb the fetus."
The emperor helped Concubine Liang up and said to Eunuch Lao with a stern face, "Call the prince!"
Then he said to Chu Tianyu with a gentle look: "Yu'er, send your mother back to the palace first. I will naturally uphold justice for the Prime Minister's grandson. My beloved concubine, if the Prime Minister's Mansion needs any medicinal materials, you can go to the Imperial Hospital to pick them up, as many as you want. And let the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital treat her well! If you can't cure her, bring your head to see me!"
Not long ago, someone from the Imperial Hospital came to report that all the hospital's rare medicinal materials had been taken away by the Crown Prince, and he didn't even have time to feel sad!
So he was more generous now and let the imperial concubine take whatever she wanted.
You can't let people say he's partial!
Concubine Liang wiped her tears and said, "Your Majesty, I was just anxious just now. There might be some misunderstanding. The prince has always been gentle and polite to others. If Li Yuan hadn't angered him, he would never have done such a thing! Your Majesty, don't be angry, just ask nicely! I just want the truth."
The emperor said angrily: "I know how to handle this matter. My beloved concubine, don't worry. Just go back and take good care of your pregnancy. Don't disturb the fetus. Yu'er, send your mother back to the palace!"
Concubine Liang left tactfully.
Chu Tianyu sent Concubine Liang back to the palace where she lived and left in a hurry.
He also had to go to the censor to discuss how to impeach Chu Tiankuo tomorrow.
Concubine Liang thought of something and said to the palace maid, "Go to the pharmacy of the Imperial Hospital and get two thousand-year-old ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, and some hundred-year-old ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, as well as fifty-year-old Panax notoginseng... Bring back all the rare herbs, and I will pick out some and send them to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
She remembered that there were two thousand-year-old ginsengs and many hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidums in the Imperial Hospital.
Thousand-year-old ginseng is rare, and one of the two in the palace was given by the Yao family.
Concubine Liang had been drooling over them for a long time, so she took this opportunity to take both of them and send one to the Prime Minister's Mansion to use as medicine for Liang Liyuan.
She kept one for herself so that it could save her life when she gave birth.
"Yes!" the palace maid responded and hurried to the Imperial Hospital.
But she came back soon: "Your Majesty, the doctor of the Imperial Hospital said that this morning, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took away all the precious medicinal materials and nourishing ingredients in the Imperial Hospital with the Emperor's oral order. Now the Imperial Hospital only has some low-year ginseng and common medicinal materials. The oldest ginseng in the Imperial Hospital is only one year old."
Concubine Liang: “…”
Concubine Liang was so angry that she almost lost her baby. She slammed the table and said, "What a Chu Tiankuo! He must have done it on purpose!"
He deliberately failed to kill Liang Liyuan and took away the medicinal herbs in advance, so that there was no medicinal herbs that could save him!
Liang Liyuan really needs thousand-year-old ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum to save his life now.
Looking at the entire Chu State now, it is estimated that only the palace has two thousand-year-old ginsengs, and neither the Prime Minister's Mansion nor the Yao family has any!
Of course, in addition to these, there are also royal palaces of various countries and the great doctor Zhao of Zhao State.

Chu Tianyu hurried out of the palace, but unexpectedly saw Chu Yuehou outside the palace gate.
Chu Yuehou bowed respectfully: "Your Highness the Second Prince."
Chu Tianyu smiled and said, "The Grand Admiral is back? Have you found the parrot?"
"Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission."
Chu Tianyu nodded: "When the Grand Admiral takes action, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished! Is the Grand Admiral going to the palace to report now?"
"Your Highness, I have already reported back this morning and the parrot has been returned to Prince Ding."
"Then why is the Grand Admiral entering the palace now?" He just asked casually and didn't expect Chu Yuehou to answer.
After all, the Jinying Guard never reveals anything they do to anyone else.
"This time I came to the palace because my granddaughter discovered that someone had falsely claimed the credit for the oil-saving lamp. I went to the palace to report to the emperor and prepared to send someone to Futai County to investigate the matter thoroughly."
Chu Tianyu nodded: "How dare someone claim the credit? Then the admiral should get busy! Make sure to investigate thoroughly."
"I'll take my leave!" Chu Yuehou bowed and went into the palace with the token.
Chu Tianyu climbed onto the carriage and then he realized that it was Ren Zilin who wrote the letter to save the oil, and his father even praised him specially!
Ren Zilin is Chu Tiankuo's right-hand man!
Falsely claiming credit
hehe... ..
He has caught Chu Tiankuo by surprise again.
No, he had to ask his cousin to ask Zhang Ruohua to come out and clarify the matter.
