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

Emperor Wenzong disagreed, "How pitiful that child is. He has to follow you to guard the border at such a young age. He is my grandson."

Chu Xuanchi chuckled, "Don't worry, father. I believe the princess can take good care of me. But it's too early to say these things now."

"Chi'er, I have no other requests for you. I only hope that you can stand up soon, live happily with Princess Yu, and have many children and grandchildren."

Emperor Wenzong was so emotional when he spoke that if Chu Xuanchi and Mo Zhaohua did not know what he had done, they would have been deceived by his fatherly appearance.

"Thank you, Father. Your Majesty is very busy, so your son and I will not bother you any more. I should also go and pay my respects to your grandmother and mother."

Chu Xuanchi's acting skills were no worse than Emperor Wenzong's, and now in his eyes, he was deeply moved and looked like he was about to cry.

"Go ahead. Ever since you were assassinated, your grandmother has been worried and unable to sleep or eat. If it were not inconvenient for her to leave the palace, she would have come to see you long ago."

Emperor Wenzong not only did not say that Empress Dowager Yuande was unwilling to leave the palace, he also found an excuse for her. If he had really said that, it would have given a bad impression.

Chu Xuan hesitated and said insincerely, "I know that my father must be in the same mood. Fortunately, the emperor is so gracious that I am safe."

After a few more words, he and Mo Zhaohua bowed and took their leave. Dong Ling pursued filial piety, so they went to Shoukang Palace to meet Empress Dowager Yuande first.

After they left, Emperor Wenzong was thoughtful, "Old Five actually wants to go back to Southern Xinjiang. Doesn't he know that the longer he's gone, the weaker his foundation in Shengjing will be?"

Li Tuquan spoke for Chu Xuanchi, "Your Highness Prince Yu only wants to drive out the foreign enemies, I'm afraid he hasn't thought about these things, which shows that Your Highness is loyal."

Emperor Wenzong frowned, "Although Lao Wu has long lost his military power, his prestige in the Southern Xinjiang Army is extremely high, and the soldiers of other parties also respect him like a god."

Li Tuquan evaded the question and continued, "Yes, this is all the prestige that Your Highness has accumulated with his flesh and blood and intelligence."

Emperor Wenzong was obviously referring to the fight for the throne, but eunuchs hate interfering in politics the most. How could such a smart man like him really respond in this direction?

Emperor Wenzong continued, "But how can he not stay in Shengjing and fight for it? Even if he doesn't have the heart to do so, it is still an opportunity for him to assist the future new emperor."

This was a direct statement of privately taking sides, that is, forming a clique for personal gain. Li Tuquan naturally did not dare to respond, "Please forgive me for not being able to respond to Your Majesty."

"Forget it." Seeing how frightened he was, Emperor Wenzong said, "Little Li has always been well-behaved and knows when to advance and when to retreat. How can I make things difficult for you?"

Li Tuquan bowed to him as if he had been pardoned, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Shoukang Palace.

Chu Xuanchi and Mo Zhaohua entered the main hall to pay their respects.

Empress Dowager Yuande was delighted. "Chi'er, why don't you stay in the mansion and recuperate?"

Emperor Wenzong had intended to let her visit Chu Xuanchi before, but she had not left the palace for many years and was really unwilling to do so.

Chu Xuanchi replied, "My father sent an imperial physician to the palace. My grandson has been carefully cared for by the imperial physician and his injuries have healed greatly."

Empress Dowager Yuande pretended to be angry and said, "You are in good health, but you are not fully recovered. It is cold today, so you should stay at home and be careful not to catch a cold."

Chu Xuanchi had a faint smile on his face, "Grandmother, please rest assured. I am wearing warm clothes when I go out, so I won't feel cold."

Mo Zhaohua smiled and said, "Grandmother, my husband knows that you are worried, so he came to the palace specially to let you see him with your own eyes."

Empress Dowager Yuande smiled again, "Chi'er is thoughtful. When I learned that you were assassinated, I wanted to come and visit you, but it's a pity that this child is not up to the standard."

Chu Xuanchi wished she didn't come, "It's freezing cold, if the Royal Grandmother really leaves the palace for her grandson, I will not be able to face you and my father."

He could have refused to see the Crown Prince and the Eighth Prince at that time, but if the Queen Mother came and he still didn't see her, it would be disrespectful and unfilial.

Empress Dowager Yuande stared at him, "Chi'er looks well. I am relieved. Zhao Zhao must take good care of Chi'er."

Mo Zhaohua responded obediently, "Yes, Grandmother."

Chu Xuanchi spoke for her, "Grandmother, Zhao Zhao took very good care of my grandson. If he hadn't been assassinated, my grandson would have grown fat by now."

Empress Dowager Yuande was very satisfied. "I am really pleased that you two are so loving. Next year, I will discuss with the Emperor about posting a notice to find a famous doctor."

"The imperial physician is already thinking of a solution. Father is busy with official duties, so it would be better if the imperial grandmother did not trouble Father for her grandson's affairs."

Since Chu Xuanchi has Mo Zhaohua's treatment, why does he need to look for some miracle doctor? She is his best miracle doctor. It would be bad if outsiders interfere.

If he really posted a notice looking for a doctor, he would not be able to guarantee that the doctor was his own. Once he found out something, many people would be in trouble.

Empress Dowager Yuande didn't know what he was thinking, and praised him, "Good boy, you are becoming more and more considerate of your father. Your father will be so happy to know this."

Chu Xuanchi and his wife chatted for a long time in Shoukang Palace before heading to Fengyi Palace to pay their respects to the Queen. Coincidentally, the Crown Prince was there again this time.

Just like last time, the Crown Prince came here early to wait after learning that Chu Xuanchi and his wife had entered the palace and that they would come to pay their respects to the Queen.

After they bowed to the Queen and took their seats, the Crown Prince asked with concern, "How is the recovery of the fifth brother?"

"I'm much better now." Chu Xuanchi had heard that the prince had caught a cold, so he began to care about him, "Is my brother the prince recovered?"

The prince raised his hand, clenched it into a fist, put it to his lips, and coughed twice, "Ahem... Apart from the cough, everything else is fine."

He has been weak since birth, and he put on a big hat when he went out today, for fear of being attacked by the cold wind outside.

Chu Xuanchi's expression was extremely sincere. "A cold wave is coming, and the first snow is about to fall. Brother Crown Prince, please pay attention and take good care of yourself."

The Crown Prince said in a gentle and polite manner, "The same goes for my fifth brother. You have not recovered from your serious injuries and now have new ones. You must be weak. You must take good care of yourself."

Chu Xuanchi bowed to him and said, "Thank you for your concern, my brother the Crown Prince."

The brothers were chatting happily, and Queen Jingren was also chatting with Mo Zhaohua. The atmosphere in the main hall of Fengyi Palace was warm.

It's just the surface. In fact, everyone has their own thoughts. For example, Mo Zhaohua will think of her past life whenever she comes to Fengyi Palace.

This was the burial place of her and Chu Xuanchi and others in her previous life. She didn't even dare to look up at the beams, for fear of seeing her poor son.

After chatting for a while, Chu Xuanchi and Mo Zhaohua bowed and left. The prince asked, "Do you still want to go to Changle Palace to pay your respects?"

Chu Xuanchi nodded slightly, "Yes, Crown Prince."

The prince stood up and said, "Then let's go together. I will also pay my respects to Consort De. Maybe I can also meet Xiao Ba and Jia Shan."

Chu Xuanchi couldn't refuse, so he left Fengyi Palace with him, "Why don't you see the Crown Princess and the Imperial Sister-in-law today?"

"She came to greet the Queen Mother this morning and has not come since. She came so frequently that some people thought the Queen Mother was in trouble."

The prince did not speak directly. He knew that Chu Xuanchi was a smart man and would naturally understand his implied meaning.
