Not long after Duke Fuguo and Rong Qing left, someone brought the news into the palace.
Li Tuquan then reported, "Your Majesty, the Duke of Fuguo and the eldest lady went to the Prince Yu's Palace, but did not see His Highness."
"After getting married, didn't the Fifth Brother often go to the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion and have a good chat with the Rong family father and son? Why doesn't he even want to see them?"
Emperor Wenzong had seen Chu Xuan's lateness before, and he was indeed resentful. If it weren't for the fact that his legs were already disabled, he would have suspected that he was trying to seize the throne.
Li Tuquan replied: "Your Highness has not even seen the Crown Prince. Although the Duke of Fuguo is the elder, we must first discuss the relationship between the monarch and the minister, and then the generational relationship."
"That's wrong. Since Lao Wu returned to Beijing, he has only been to the Eastern Palace once, but he has been to the Fuguogong Mansion many times, which shows that he likes it very much."
Emperor Wenzong couldn't remember exactly how many times he had been to Xuan Chi's house in just over two months after her marriage, but he was at least certain that it was more times than he had been to the Eastern Palace.
Li Tuquan reminded, "Your Highness has a reason every time he goes to the Fuguogong Mansion. If you say you like it, it should be because of your love for the princess."
He remembered it clearly. It was the first time he went there after returning home. It was during the Mid-Autumn Festival and Double Ninth Festival. Rong Qing made a fuss about becoming a nun, and Mo Zhaohua went back feeling wronged.
Emperor Wenzong thought for a moment, "That's a good point, but from what I can see today, Old Five doesn't really like Princess Yu that much."
If Chu Xuanchi really liked Mo Zhaohua, considering how much Mo Zhaohua cared about the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion, how could he refuse to even meet her?
Li Tuquan considered and said, "It has not been long since the Prince's wedding and he has not been able to consummate the marriage. If he wants to show his affection, it will probably take some time."
Emperor Wenzong sighed, "If the fifth brother could treat Princess Yu as the eldest brother treats the daughter of the Shen family, I would have to worry less."
"Concubine Shen finally got pregnant a few days ago, but unfortunately she was unable to keep the baby. I'm afraid she hasn't recovered from her grief yet."
It was easy for Li Tuquan to know what happened in Prince Jin's backyard. He knew everything about Shen Xiyue from her pregnancy to her miscarriage.
Emperor Wenzong sneered, "This is not the fault of others. It is the boss's own fault. If he could do better, this wouldn't have happened."
Although he favored Concubine Chunxian in those days, he still respected the Queen and would never embarrass her in front of others.
After the death of Concubine Chunxian, he treated everyone equally and no longer favored anyone, let alone favored one person like Prince Jin.
Thinking of Imperial Concubine Chunxian, his eyes dimmed. Everyone said that the emperor was ruthless, but he had truly been moved.
At least, that's what he thought!
***
at dusk.
Mo Zhaohua sent someone to invite the court doctor as planned.
When Mu Xueyan got the news, she hurriedly left Xiao Yan, who had been taking care of her for a few days, and rushed over.
She had come to the main courtyard several times in the past few days, wanting to persuade Chu Xuanchi, but she had never even seen him.
He had never been like this before, and had always been obedient to her, so much so that she even complained to Xiao Yan for a long time.
When she learned about Chu Xuanchi's current situation, she was shocked and angry, "What, Brother Yu Wang is in a coma?"
Mo Zhaohua's acting skills became more and more exquisite, and he was about to cry, "Otherwise I can't let the court doctor in."
Mu Xueyan asked sternly, "How did you try to comfort Brother Yu Wang? It has been useless for so many days."
Wuying immediately spoke up for Mo Zhaohua, "Miss Mu, you know the master's temper. The princess has done her best."
Shuying echoed, "Yes, this time the master didn't even want to see the young lady, which is enough to show how angry the master is."
Huaying also chimed in, "Prince Princess had been starving with the master before, and only now did the master reluctantly eat something."
The three of them had been serving in the main courtyard and knew the inside story, so they naturally couldn't bear to see Mo Zhaohua suffer any injustice.
Mu Xueyan was dissatisfied when she heard this, "What's wrong with you? I just said one sentence and you all said one?"
Mo Zhaohua didn't want to confront her, so he turned to look at the palace doctor, "Physician, how is the prince's injury?"
"Not very good. The wound has not been cleaned or the dressings have been changed in the past few days. It has worsened and is getting more serious. Fortunately, it is early winter now."
If it was summer and the temperature was so high, the court doctor couldn't imagine the consequences if the wound was not cleaned and the dressings were not changed for a few days.
Mo Zhaohua said: "Then take advantage of the fact that the prince is unconscious and give him proper treatment. Otherwise, when he wakes up, he won't let anyone get close to him."
"Yes, Princess." The court doctor responded in a low voice and treated the wound carefully.
The news from Prince Yu's Mansion soon spread to the palace.
Li Tuquan sent away the eunuch who came to deliver the message, "Your Majesty, good news."
Emperor Wenzong sat in front of his desk, reviewing memorials with a red brush, "But did the assassin confess?"
Li Tuquan stepped forward at the right time to pour tea and let him rest. "No, the palace doctor is already treating your highness's injuries."
Emperor Wenzong breathed a sigh of relief. "This old man has finally compromised. If he continues like this, I will be forced to leave the palace to persuade him."
Li Tuquan said: "It's not that His Highness compromised, but because he fell into a coma, Princess Yu took the opportunity to ask the palace doctor to treat him."
Emperor Wenzong put down his red brush and said, "The court doctor's medical skills are limited. Let's quickly send the imperial physician over to see if his legs are still easy to treat."
Li Tuquan was overjoyed when he heard this, but his face remained calm, "Yes..."
Emperor Wenzong thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. Let's let the imperial physician stay in Prince Yu's mansion for now. He knows the fifth brother's injuries best. Let him treat him."
Li Tuquan was happy just now, but now he was shocked, "Your Majesty wants the imperial physician to heal your internal injuries?"
Treating the external injuries of the legs did not help Chu Xuanchi much, but if the internal injuries were cured, the consequences would be completely different.
Now that his internal injuries have healed, even if he is still in a wheelchair, his ability to protect himself will be improved. At least he won't be so embarrassed when encountering an assassin.
Emperor Wenzong has not yet made a final decision. "Let's cure him first. Whether he will recover or not will depend on the investigation of the assassin."
Li Tuquan's eyes lit up slightly. Regardless of whether Chu Xuanchi's internal injuries could be healed, Emperor Wenzong had already made concessions this time.
Emperor Wenzong drank a cup of tea, then picked up the red brush to review the memorials. Looking at the mountain of memorials, he felt a headache.
Li Tuquan first asked the young eunuch to summon the imperial physician to the Prince's Palace, and then returned to the imperial desk to continue serving Emperor Wenzong.
Not long after, the imperial physician arrived at the Prince's Palace, but the palace physician had already left the east wing.
Mo Zhaohua was sitting in front of the bed doing needlework. "The court doctor has seen it, so what is there for your Majesty to worry about? Aren't they all his people?"
Chu Xuanchi lay there weakly, but his face was filled with smiles, "Zhao Zhao seems to have a deep grudge against his father."
Mo Zhaohua's acupuncture force increased a little, "I will feel resentment towards anyone who treats my husband badly."
Chu Xuanchi's smile grew wider, and he comforted her softly, "Don't be angry, Zhao Zhao. Maybe the imperial physician's visit this time is a good thing."
Mo Zhaohua immediately thought of his previous guess, "Your Majesty has made concessions?"
Chu Xuanchi blinked at her and said, "Whether it is true or not, wait for the imperial physician to come in and Zhao Zhao will know after seeing him treat the disease with her own eyes, right?"
