Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 514 Discussion (Update )
Chu Qiyuan didn't care about these, and said:

"Besides, the Wazhen envoys will arrive in Beijing soon, and the court is busy with this matter. The current situation is really troublesome, and someone has recommended that Prince Jing take charge."

After all, apart from this prince, the other princes were either exiled, in a coma, or too young to be of any use.

It turns out that only this transparent prince who had long been marginalized can do anything.

Ye Chutang didn't seem surprised: "Has it been decided?"

"It seems not yet, but it should be soon."

We can't be still dealing with these trivial matters when Master Wa arrives, right?

Ye Chutang chuckled: "When I met His Royal Highness Prince Jing before, he had to send his servants to look for even a piece of top-quality ginseng in his mansion. I didn't expect that in just a few days, everything would be turned upside down."

Once Xiao Chenglin presides over the meeting between the two parties, the status will change.

Chu Qiyuan had naturally heard some rumors about Prince Jing and knew that the Fourth Prince had not had an easy life in the past.

To this day, being pushed to such a position is indeed regrettable.

"Who said it wasn't? The two of them fought openly and secretly, and both were hurt. Now——"

Chu Qiyuan paused and did not continue speaking.

Ye Chutang glanced at him and said, "It seems that you are also optimistic about Prince Jing?"

Chu Qiyuan shook his head with a complicated expression: "No, I'm just telling the truth!"

Ye Chutang thought thoughtfully: "He just took this job, and everyone else agreed?"

"What if he disagrees?" Chu Qiyuan sighed, "After what happened yesterday, many court officials have already sided with him this morning."

Those memorials requesting Prince Jing to come forward were actually just tokens of surrender.

Ye Chutang was noncommittal.

The wind direction changed so suddenly overnight. I don't know whether to say that these ministers are too cunning and shrewd, or... someone has already prepared all this?
The action was so fast that even she was a little impressed.

Chu Qiyuan looked at Emperor Mu Wu, whose eyes were tightly closed, and murmured in a low voice: "It would be good if Your Majesty could wake up in time, but if not..."

Ye Chutang reminded: "The medicine seems to have been boiled."

"Hmm? Oh oh! I'll go right away!"

Chu Qiyuan suddenly came back to his senses, put all his thoughts behind him, and turned to the medicine furnace.

After he carefully poured the brown medicine into the bone china bowl and handed it to Ye Chutang, he remembered another important matter.

"By the way, after things in the palace are settled, shall we go to Prince Lie's Mansion later?"

Emperor Mu Wu suddenly fell into a coma, and both of them were urgently summoned to the palace, so they had no time to go and see how Prince Lie was doing.

Zhao Xuanping has been in charge of this alone these past two days, and he must be exhausted.

Ye Chutang fed medicine to Emperor Mu Wu.

After taking a spoonful, most of it flowed out, leaving only a little to moisten his dry and pale lips.

But she patiently finished feeding him the whole bowl before putting the food down, turning around and nodding slightly to Chu Qiyuan, saying with a smile:

"Okay."

……

"How does this work?"

Chen Songshi looked at the letter in front of him with a frown on his face.

"The delegation is visiting, and only one prince is here to present. Isn't that too much of a joke!?"

Several ministers looked at each other in embarrassment.

"But now... there is no better way. If we don't invite Prince Jing, then who else can we invite?" "Yes! It would be great if His Majesty could wake up. If..."

"Master Wa has always been cunning and arrogant. Although they came here to seek peace this time, no one knows whether they have other intentions. We should be careful! Prince Jing is a prince after all. The Ministry of Rites and other ministers are in charge of other affairs. He just needs to do his duty as a prince and show the royal bearing to those Master Wa! Nothing will go wrong!"

"The elder disagrees, but do you have a better candidate?"

Chen Songshi kept silent with a sullen face.

In fact, he understood all these principles, but he knew even more that Master Wa was not someone who could be easily fooled.

If His Majesty did not show up during the audience, they would definitely guess that something had happened to His Majesty.

It’s not so bad though, the second prince or the third prince are both outstanding men and may be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility.

Any one of them would be suitable.

Only the fourth prince, Prince Jing...

Isn't it telling Master Wa that they have no one left?

He was silent for a moment: "I still need to consult the eldest princess on this matter."

At this time, the eldest princess's opinion is particularly important.

After hearing what he said, several ministers expressed their agreement.

"So good."

"The princess seems to have been delayed in Guangxin Palace due to some matters, and she hasn't come yet. Why don't we go there directly now?"

At this point, Chen Songshi could no longer refuse.

He nodded, but before he could say anything, he heard the eldest princess' voice behind him.

"You are all so anxious to see me, is there something important?"

Several people in the room were startled and turned around to greet: "Greetings, Princess."

The eldest princess raised her hand: "No need to be so polite."

Several ministers looked at Chen Songshi.

Chen Songshi hesitated for a moment, then brought up the previous topic again.

"...I don't know, what does the princess think?"

After hearing this, the princess did not answer immediately. Instead, she said, "The Wazhen envoys are coming soon. The patrols and security in the capital should indeed be strengthened."

Everyone looked confused.

They entered the palace early in the morning to deal with the memorials submitted to the palace, and they did not know about Ye Chutang's assassination.

The eldest princess raised her eyes and swept her gaze over everyone before bringing up the matter.

"Someone is openly committing a crime in the capital. The person they want to kill is Ye Chutang, who is responsible for the safety of His Majesty. Who knows? Maybe they are targeting His Majesty! I have ordered Shuntian Prefecture to investigate and find the real culprit within three days!"

Everyone was shocked.

"Who is so bold?"

It just happens to be this time!
It happened to be the assassination of Ye Chutang!
The eldest princess looked stern and said, "If something like this happens for the first time, there may be a second time! The Wazhen envoys will come, and who knows how many accidents will happen! The person in charge of this matter will naturally have a heavy responsibility and must be carefully selected."

Anyone can guess that someone wants to take advantage of the opportunity to stir up trouble.

Who is the first to stick out?
Noticing the eldest princess's anger, the ministers who had previously strongly recommended Prince Jing also quieted down and remained silent.

But staying like this is not a solution.

Chen Songshi paused and said, "The princess is right. It would be best if Your Majesty could wake up as soon as possible."

The princess leaned back in her chair and softened her tone:
"I have already sent someone to invite her and the Crown Prince. They know the situation of His Majesty best."
