Was the whole group wiped out in the previous life? Reborn to drag the crippled king into the bridal

A few days later, in the backyard of Prince Yu's Mansion.

Chu Xuanchi was working in the west wing, and it was inconvenient for men to enter and exit.

Therefore, he had someone convert a room in the main courtyard into a temporary study.

The main room is used as an office, and there is a bed in the side room, which can be used for rest or for Mo Zhaohua to practice martial arts.

Today, Mo Zhaohua was reading in the study room, and Wuying came in with a letter, "Princess, this is a letter from the Fuguogong Mansion."

Mo Zhaohua took it and quickly glanced at it, "My husband, my uncle and aunt have agreed to let Yueyue learn acupuncture from me."

Chu Xuanchi put down his pen and said, "Then find a reason to take her over and teach her early. Otherwise, she will have to get married in two years."

Mo Zhaohua shook his head in denial, "I'm afraid I won't be able to accept it before the New Year. Yueyue is going to hold a coming-of-age banquet, and there are other happy events in the mansion."

Chu Xuanchi thought for a moment, "I remember now. Zhao Zhao once said that there are many happy events in the Fuguo Mansion at the end of the year, so let's take it next year."

Mo Zhaohua put away the letter and said, "It's just right. Grandfather said that he wanted to keep Yueyue for a few more years. I and Yueyue have plenty of time."

Chu Xuanchi thought of the medicinal bath. "Zhao Zhao's treatment has taken effect, and we have a chance to go to the Fuguogong Mansion. Do you want to take a medicinal bath then?"

"It's better to be able to take a natural bath, after all, opportunities are rare." Mo Zhaohua had said long ago that medicinal baths are effective, but the strong smell of the medicine is easy to be discovered.

"Okay, we are in the backyard anyway, and guests are not allowed to come in casually." When it comes to treatment, Chu Xuanchi has always obeyed her orders.

Mo Zhaohua was not worried about the others, but only about one person. "The guests won't come, but Princess Jiashan might come. We have to be on guard."

Princess Jiashan came when she had her coming-of-age ceremony at the beginning of the year. Given Concubine De's personality, she would never treat her two nieces differently.

Of course, Princess Jiashan might not go to the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion at that time, because it was Emperor Wenzong who asked her to come, not Concubine De.

Chu Xuanchi pinched his chin and thought, "It depends on what Lao Ba does. If he is willing to help us, he will stop Jiashan."

"My husband, have you confirmed that the Eighth Prince knows about this?" Mo Zhaohua remembered it very clearly. When the incident happened, he was just guessing.

Chu Xuanchi nodded, "It's about the same. Lao Ba doesn't like to talk, but his eyes and ears are sharper than others, and his mind is also clear."

Mo Zhaohua has always treated the Eighth Prince as his own in his past and present lives. "The Eighth Prince should be trustworthy."

Henry Chu smiled and said, “If he couldn’t be trusted, something would have happened to me a long time ago.”

Mo Zhaohua was still worried, "But maybe the princess is going alone?"

After all, it was well known that the Eighth Prince hated going out the most, and he did not attend her coming-of-age ceremony.

"If that's the case, we can only trouble Zhao Zhao to stop them. The master is busy with family affairs, and we don't want to cause trouble for them."

"Okay." Mo Zhaohua changed the subject, "I should find a day to go to the palace and pay my respects to the Empress Dowager and Consort De."

"My injuries have healed, so I'll go to the palace with Zhaozhao." Chu Xuanchi originally planned to go to the palace.

"My husband, do you want to go to the palace to express your gratitude?" Although Chu Xuanchi had not mentioned it yet, Mo Zhaohua had already guessed what he was thinking.

Chu Xuanchi liked this kind of tacit understanding, "Well... by the way, I also want to pay my respects to the Imperial Grandmother and the Queen Mother, and then go see Concubine De."

"Okay, let's go to the palace tomorrow instead of waiting for another day." The prince has privileges when entering the palace, and Mo Zhaohua can also enjoy them.

***

the next morning.

Chu Xuanchi and Mo Zhaohua entered the palace.

In the side hall of the Qinzheng Hall, Emperor Wenzong sat on a high seat.

He deliberately did not meet them in the main hall because he thought it was too solemn.

After they entered the hall and paid their respects, he gave them a seat and asked with concern, "How is Chi'er's injury?"

Chu Xuanchi said respectfully, "I'm fine now. Thank you, father, for your concern for me and for keeping the imperial physician."

Emperor Wenzong had been observing Chu Xuanchi all the time, and the imperial physician would report to him every day on the recovery of his injuries.

"Chi'er's health can be restored, which is more important than anything else. I saw Chi'er's complexion today, and he is indeed much better."

Chu Xuanchi also showed concern for him. "How is your father's health? I heard that he has a headache. Has the cold weather recurred?"

Emperor Wenzong got a headache when he mentioned this matter. "The Imperial Hospital is full of good-for-nothings. They can't even cure a headache. It keeps coming back."

Chu Xuanchi showed a worried look on his face, "There are many miracle doctors among the people, has Father ever tried them?"

Emperor Wenzong sighed, "I have seen a few of them before, but they are all just people seeking fame and reputation, and they have no effect, so I am too lazy to see more of them."

Chu Xuanchi bowed to him and said, "Your Majesty, it is really hard for you. You are not in good health and you still have to work hard for state affairs. Your Majesty must take care of yourself."

Emperor Wenzong was overjoyed, "Chi'er is really different now. In the past few years since returning to Beijing, she has never shown as much concern for me as she did today."

Chu Xuanchi explained, "I have been in Southern Xinjiang for a long time, and I am not good enough in dealing with people and the ways of the world. I am still here thanks to the advice of the princess."

Emperor Wenzong looked at Mo Zhaohua and said, "Princess Yu is a very good person. I am very glad that I rejected the request of the sixth elder brother and insisted on marrying her to Chi'er."

Chu Xuanchi bowed again, "Thank you, father, for finding a good princess for me. But it's a pity that you have to follow a useless person like me."

Emperor Wenzong felt guilty, "Don't worry, Chi'er, your body is getting better. I believe your legs will get better too. Chi'er will definitely stand in the court."

Chu Xuanchi pulled up a bitter smile, looking helpless and pitiful, "Even the imperial physician is helpless, is this really my fate?"

Emperor Wenzong felt more and more guilty. "The imperial physician just has no solution for the time being. Hasn't he been trying to find a solution? It was the same with Chi'er's leg injury before."

Chu Xuanchi took the opportunity to express his position, "Then I will borrow your good words, father. When I stand up again, I will definitely defeat the Southern Zhao army and make them flee in disarray."

If he did not stay in Shengjing, he would not be able to establish a foundation for the succession, and he would not be able to convince the people just by relying on the military power in the southern border and his military achievements.

He no longer had the ambition to seize the throne and only wanted to go to the battlefield. Emperor Wenzong naturally had no fear that he would become more powerful than him and kill his father to seize the throne.

Emperor Wenzong was delighted, but as suspicious as he was, he still wanted to confirm, "Chi'er still wants to go to Southern Xinjiang instead of staying in Shengjing?"

Chu Xuanchi belittled himself, "I only know how to wield a sword to kill the enemy. I am not smooth enough. The officialdom is complicated. I really can't handle it."

Emperor Wenzong continued to test him, "But you are a prince, how can you stay in the army forever? Besides, you have already started a family, so you should have children for the royal family."

Chu Xuanchi glanced at Mo Zhaohua and said, "In the army, we don't have to fight every day. As long as the princess accompanies the army, I can have children."

Although women could not enter the military camp, they could follow the army. After all, in addition to the military camp, there were also cities, and their families could be settled in the cities.

However, during times of war, cities would be lost or recovered, so the families accompanying the troops would occasionally have to move with them.
