Quick Wear: The male protagonists all fell in love with her at first sight

Emperor Cheng'an is critically ill. As the Crown Prince and Prince of Qi are imprisoned, the Second Prince, Prince Heng, is appointed as regent. Although the court appears calm on the surface, there are undercurrents in secret, and the party struggle has reached a white-hot stage.

Inside the Mingde Hall, one could smell the pungent smell of Chinese medicine before entering the door. Li Zhengxiang, the chief eunuch beside Emperor Cheng'an, stood on tiptoe at the door of the hall, looking around and pacing back and forth anxiously.

Seeing a figure, Li Zhengxiang's eyes lit up and he trotted over, swinging his whisk. He said, "Oh, my prince, you are finally here. The emperor has been waiting for you."

Before Ji Huaian found out who killed Jiang Rou, he received a letter from Emperor Cheng'an, so he hurried back and asked Fuyun to stay in Lin'an Prefecture to continue the search.

He hadn't had a good night's sleep since Jiang Rou left. He had been busy traveling these two days and hadn't had any rest at all. At this moment, his beard was untidy. Li Zhengxiang was startled to see Ji Huaian and others.

Ji Huaian exchanged a few words with Li Zhengxiang and then walked straight into the hall. The pungent smell of medicine made Ji Huaian frown, but it also made him quicken his pace.

As soon as he entered the inner hall, Ji Huaian saw the sickly and dying man lying on the dragon bed. He was thinner than when he left, Ji Huaian thought.

Hearing the noise, Emperor Cheng'an turned around and saw Ji Huaian. He waved his hand to let the palace servant go out. Ji Huaian walked forward and was about to bow to greet him when he heard Emperor Cheng'an's weak voice, "Huaian, there's no need to be polite."

After the palace servants left, Emperor Cheng'an struggled to get up. Seeing this, Ji Huaian walked forward and helped him sit up. As soon as he touched the bone, his eyes suddenly turned red.

After sitting up, Emperor Cheng'an started coughing violently before he could say anything. Ji Huaian sat beside the bed and rubbed his back to help him breathe. After a long while, Emperor Cheng'an finally stopped coughing. He waved his hand to signal Ji Huaian to stop.

His voice was still as gentle as before. He looked Ji Huaian up and down and said, "You've lost weight. I'll ask Li Zhengxiang to tell the kitchen to make some supplements for you, otherwise your grandmother will see it and say that your uncle didn't take good care of you." As he spoke, he laughed, as if he was chatting with Ji Huaian. As he spoke, he gently patted the back of Ji Huaian's hand.

Emperor Cheng'an had a gray face, black lips, and sunken cheeks, and he exuded the decadent aura of a dying man.

Hearing what Emperor Cheng'an said, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to my uncle." His eyes were red and he didn't dare to look up at Emperor Cheng'an.

Emperor Cheng'an was stunned for a moment when he heard his address, and said, "How long has it been since you called me uncle? Time flies, it seems like you were still that little baby learning to speak yesterday." There was a smile in his voice, as if he was lost in memories.

Ji Huaian did not answer. Emperor Cheng'an sighed and said, "You are blaming your parents." Ji Huaian did not say anything. Seeing this, Emperor Cheng'an understood.

He held Ji Huaian's hand and said, "Huaian, uncle doesn't ask you to forgive them, but don't let yourself be troubled by this. Uncle just wants you to live happily." Ji Huaian's eyes were filled with tears and he nodded to Emperor Cheng'an.

Seeing this, Emperor Cheng'an nodded and said jokingly with a smile, "You are not young anymore and it is time to get married. If there is a girl you like, your uncle will find one for you."

Hearing this, Ji Huaian thought of Jiang Rou. He smiled gently and said to Emperor Cheng'an, "Yes, but uncle, don't worry about this matter. Huaian knows what to do." Seeing him like this made Emperor Cheng'an curious.

There's no other reason. His nephew has been a cold person since he was young. Many girls from wealthy families liked him, but he always turned a blind eye to them. Now he is like this, I am curious about who this girl is.

He laughed twice, patted Ji Huaian's hand and said, "That's good, that's good."

Li Zhengxiang stood in front of the door. The emperor had just ordered that anyone who came must be stopped before Prince Ji came out. He was afraid that the young eunuchs would not be able to stop him, so he stood guard himself.

Just then someone came. Prince Heng stood in front of the door and treated Li Zhengxiang with great respect. He said in a humble tone, "Please tell Eunuch Li that there are some things in the court that I don't quite understand and would like to ask the emperor for advice."

Li Zhengxiang's eyes were almost rolled up to the sky. He thought to himself, "Damn it, why didn't he come earlier or later, but Prince Ji came into the palace only half a minute later."

He thought so in his heart, but his face showed respect. He said with a smile, "Oh, Your Highness Prince Heng, you came at a very untimely time. Prince Ji just went in. He and the emperor haven't seen each other for a long time and have a lot to say. The emperor has ordered that no one should disturb him."

Hearing him say this, King Heng forced a smile, nodded at Li Zhengxiang and said, "Oh, I'll come back later then," and left.

The smile on Prince Heng's face fell as he turned around. His mother was of low status and was promoted to concubine only after giving birth to him. Over the years, he had no support from his maternal family and his mother was not favored by the emperor, so compared with his other two brothers, he was the most transparent.

It was precisely because the Crown Prince and the King of Qi were imprisoned that he had the opportunity to make a name for himself. The feeling of having power in his hands these days made him addicted and his ambition grew.

When he heard the people below report that Ji Huaian had entered the palace, he was afraid that something might happen so he hurried over. Unexpectedly, he was stopped outside the door. Thinking of this, he said angrily, "You dog slave, when I come to power, the first person I will kill will be you."

After saying that, he turned around and left. Not long after he left, a woman in gorgeous clothes came out of the rockery, looked at his back as he left, with a smile on her face.

The lights were just coming on and the Wu'an Marquis Mansion was brightly lit. In the main courtyard, Old Madam Ji sat in the main seat, with a young man and woman sitting on either side of her.

A maid walked in, and when Mrs. Ji saw her, she asked anxiously, "How is it, is the prince coming back?"

Upon hearing this, the little maid shook her head and said, "Someone just came from the palace and said that the Emperor had not seen the Prince for a long time and missed him very much, so he asked the Prince to stay in the palace for dinner. The Prince was tired from the long journey, so he will rest in the palace tonight and will not come back."

After she finished speaking, the smile on Madam Ji's face disappeared. She forced a smile and said, "Yes, the emperor loves the prince the most, and he would definitely not bear to let him go through so much trouble."

After saying this, she looked at the untouched food on the table, stood up and said, "I'm a little tired today, I'll go back and rest first, you guys sit down and eat slowly."

As she spoke, the young woman next to her wanted to support her, but Old Madam Ji patted her hand and said, "Arou, sit down and eat slowly." Then she walked towards the inner room, her back looking so lonely.

Jiang Rou's hand was still in the air. When she saw Madam Ji's lonely back, her eyes were full of worry.

Seeing this, Ji Mingjin on the side hurriedly comforted her, "Sister Jiang, don't be sad. Grandmother loves you the most, but you..." Before he finished his words, there was still a hint of disappointment on his face.

Jiang Rou found it funny to see him acting like this, but she didn't respond to him. She pretended not to understand and said, "Yes, I guess the prince must be very busy, and it's normal for the old lady to worry about him."
