The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 119 Covetousness
The officials had their own thoughts along the way, and when they entered the Qianqing Palace, they felt relieved when they saw that the emperor looked pretty good.

Cao Shouli guarded outside the gate of Qianqing Palace for a while, until Li Gu came back from the outside and led Sun Duzhong and several imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital into the Qianqing Palace.

He first saluted the emperor, then bowed to Xie Hui and Xie Xi respectively, and then said: "Your Majesty will be served by your servant."

After a while, another servant ran in and replied out of breath: "Reporting to the emperor, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has left the palace. The servant girl asked the people around him, saying that he had been out of the palace for a while, and sent someone go find it."

The emperor was dissatisfied and glared at the little eunuch, but said: "Since the second prince is out of the palace, we don't have to wait for him anymore. Dear friends, what do you think of my complexion today?"

The little lady listened to the emperor not ordering her intentions, and she was about to leave the Qianqing Palace after paying her respects.

Cao Shouli winked at a middle-aged eunuch below, then raised his palm to his chest, and waved it lightly with the palm facing down, making a "cut" movement.The middle-aged eunuch understood, took two steps forward, and dragged the young eunuch out of the Qianqing Palace.

Seeing this, Lin Zisu couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the little eunuch might have risked his life by saying something wrong.

Several adults in the cabinet expressed their greetings to the emperor as if they hadn't seen it.Zhang Ruogu, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, asked: "Your Majesty, I wonder which imperial doctor in the imperial hospital is so skilled? I heard that the envoy of the Gongyuan has been guarding the Qianqing Palace these days. It must be the envoy of the Gongyuan who has rejuvenated. Help His Majesty out of danger."

The emperor smiled, his face was calm, and his eyes swept over the faces of the officials one by one.Xie Xi, who was standing on the right side of the emperor, laughed and said, "Master Zhang, everyone said that you are Wushuang, but this time you guessed wrong."

Zhang Ruogu was taken aback for a moment, and said, "If it's not Gong Yuan's envoy, then who is it?"

This time it was the emperor who spoke, and the emperor pointed to Sun Duzhong who was standing in the corner and said with a smile: "Two days ago, Xiao Si'er found a genius doctor Sun from outside, and he said that he was the best in the world in medicine. Thanks to his wonderful hands, my illness has improved a lot. By the way, Doctor Sun, I have always forgotten to ask, how is my body recovering now?"

Sun Duzhong hurriedly stepped forward and said: "I would like to report to Your Majesty, Your Majesty's body is fine, and if you give Caomin another three to five days, you should be able to deal with the government affairs."

Everyone in the cabinet was full of surprise and doubt, not knowing why the emperor called his group of people over.Ye Quan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was the first to react, and said: "This is really great. After your majesty recovers, you should give more advice to the second prince."

He has the closest relationship with the emperor, so he speaks a little casually. This sentence is tantamount to saying that Xie Yao's governance is still lacking.

Although the rest of the cabinet members have many conflicts of interest and usually have different political opinions, they are surprisingly consistent on the matter of establishing a reserve.

In the eyes of the cabinet, the Eighth Prince Xie Xie is the legitimate son, and he is the best candidate for the heir in terms of order.Because the emperor has always insisted on his own opinion, he had to assist Xie Yao in dealing with political affairs these few days. In their minds, they naturally still hoped that Xie Yao would succeed to the throne.

As for Xie Xi's young age, isn't that just right, who hasn't had some greed?
As soon as Ye Quan's words came out, someone immediately echoed them, and they spoke with certainty, and the Qianqing Palace immediately became a place for discussing politics.

Some talk about establishing a reserve, some talk about governing the country, and some compare Xie Yao and Xie Xie...

When Xie Yao arrived, it was already half an hour later. When he entered the Qianqing Palace, he heard the voice of Zhang Ruogu, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials: "Your Majesty, I think that the second prince is like a piece of rough jade, even if it is slightly flawed. As long as it is tempered a little, it may not be a piece of beautiful jade."

Xie Yao knew very well that although these people in the cabinet respected him on the face, they didn't know how to discuss it in front of the ministers in private. All along, only this Zhang Ruogu has been diligent and diligent, and treats him the same Heart.

The Jiangnan Zhang family is a well-known century-old family. In the past few decades, there have been many great officials in the frontier. Zhang Ruogu is a member of the Jiangnan Zhang family. I have a close relationship with him, and I will rely more on him in the future.

Thinking this way in his heart, he walked up to the emperor. The emperor looked kindly and said, "Yao'er, it's really not easy for you to work hard for the country these days and share the worries of your father. It will take three to five days for me to recover, so I will let you go." You work harder!"

The emperor's words seemed to be comforting Xie Yao, but the meaning conveyed by each person was different. Some looked happy, while others looked depressed. The most obvious expression was undoubtedly Xie Yao.

Xie Yao listened to the report of the Gongyuan envoy yesterday, and said that the emperor's condition was worrying, but he did not expect that the emperor's condition improved so much just one day later.

He first raised his eyes to look at the emperor, and then found the figure of Gongyuan Envoy in the corner.The emperor saw it, and said with a smile: "Emissary Gong also tried his best, Yao'er, you don't have to blame him."

The envoy of Gongyuan was keeping his head down and kept silent. When the emperor mentioned him, he knelt down on the ground with a "plop" and kowtowed across several people, "I... I thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor smiled and said: "Envoy Gong, thank you for nothing for no reason, get up!"

Gong Yuanshi realized that he was impolite, stood up quickly, and retreated to the corner.

The emperor said a few words to the officials in a neutral manner, and then ordered everyone to retreat, leaving only Sun Duzhong and Lin Zisu.The emperor pointed to Cao Shouli who was waiting at the side and said calmly: "Sun Duzhong, you can rest assured to heal me. From tomorrow onwards, Shouli will arrange someone to guard you, master and apprentice."

Cao Shouli immediately smiled and said: "Miraculous doctor Sun, and this little doctor Lin, what our family does in the palace is to serve people, you don't have to be polite to our family."

In this life, Lin Zisu was dealing with Cao Shouli for the first time, and his words were respectful, but there was already a sign of arrogance in his words, and sooner or later he would become a hot figure.

This Cao Shouli is the eunuch of power in the future, and he has a personality of vengeance, so he has no need to offend him, so he said with a smile, "Thank you, Eunuch Cao."

Cao Shouli immediately arranged a dozen guards and led the master and apprentice back to Changping Palace.

In the past, there were only two guards standing at the gate of Changping Palace, pretending to be there, but now more than a dozen people came down, and they directly blocked the gate of Changping Palace.

Seeing that this group of people were going to put his master and apprentice under house arrest, Sun Duzhong hurriedly dragged Lin Zisu into a room, and said with a melancholy face: "This emperor, just use me as a gunman, and you still want to use me as a gunman!" Trapping us here is a bad thing!"
