Prince Consort

Princess Yan Ning went to the East Palace in person.

Zhao Chongzhao's arms and thighs were injured, and he was lying on the bed all the time.

He was taken aback by his sister's arrival.

To be honest, Zhao Chongzhao felt quite uncomfortable when something like this happened.He knew that Zhao Ying was really disappointed in him this time, so he had been suffering like a walking dead for half a month.

Hearing footsteps approaching from a distance, Zhao Chongzhao quickly lifted the quilt and sat up with difficulty.

This action touched the wound on Zhao Chongzhao's body, and he gritted his teeth in pain, but he quickly held back, with a big smile on his face: "Ning'er!"

Princess Yan Ning is weak and cannot walk at all on weekdays. She can only sit in a wheelchair and ask someone to push her over.

Hearing Zhao Chongzhao's voice full of joy, Princess Yan Ning's nose was sore.

If she hadn't been protected by such a big brother, she might not be able to survive in the emperor's family with such a body.She should be the person who cares most about Zhao Chongzhao, but she didn't do it at all, and she had to be reminded by outsiders.

Princess Yan Ning said: "Brother, don't move around."

She asked someone to push herself to the edge of the bed, raised her arms and gently hugged Zhao Chongzhao who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and hugged him quietly.

Princess Yan Ning has always been a bit indifferent towards Zhao Chongzhao, and this kind of young daughter's behavior rarely occurs to her.Zhao Chongzhao was extremely happy, but after being happy, his nose was sore like Princess Yanning.

He controlled his own strength, and carefully hugged his sister's small body back.

Princess Yan Ning asked in a low voice: "Brother, why did you enter the zoo?"

Zhao Chongzhao froze, his voice choked with inexplicable sobs, but the reason he said was ridiculous: "Of course it's because it's fun, you know I like excitement the most."

In fact, it was not because of this reason at all, but because he asked the imperial doctor how his younger sister was doing. As a result, the imperial hospital, which claims to gather the best doctors in the world, shook his head and sighed, saying that his sister might not make it to the end!

What's the use of them!

What's the use of them!

Zhao Chongzhao had an almost violent impulse in his heart, he wanted to destroy all Qingyun temples and imperial hospitals!Since there is no way to keep his sister, what's the use of them!

Zhao Chongzhao could not accept such a result.

But he also knew that he couldn't vent his anger on others.

So he can only compete with himself, running into the zoo to fight with the beasts sent from the north!

Only in this way can he vent the simmering fire in his heart.

Zhao Chongzhao didn't expect that he would almost confess himself in it, let alone Zhao Ying.

Zhao Chongzhao looked at his sister, his eyes were red again.

How sensitive Princess Yan Ning is, she guessed it a bit when she saw Zhao Chongzhao's appearance.She bit her lip and said, "Did the imperial doctor say something else?"

Zhao Chongzhao shook his head hastily: "No!"

The more Zhao Chongzhao denied it, the more sure Princess Yan Ning was that she had guessed right.

She turned her head away, hiding the sourness in her eyes.

She should have guessed it earlier, Zhao Chongzhao cared about her sister the most, what else could make him lose control like that other than her physical condition?

Princess Yan Ning tried her best to calm her breathing, turned to look at Zhao Chongzhao, and said, "Brother, you can't do this."

The flesh on Zhao Chongzhao's cheeks trembled, but he remained silent.

Princess Yan Ning said: "I still want you to help me see that Daqing is getting stronger and stronger. If you make daddy angry, or something really happens, who will help me live until then?"

Zhao Chongzhao said: "Bah, bah, don't talk nonsense! Ning'er, you will live a long time!"

Princess Yan Ning said: "Brother, you have to help me find famous doctors."

Zhao Chongzhao was startled, and quickly said: "Of course!"

Princess Yan Ning said: "Brother, you have been grounded, so you can't help me."

Zhao Chongzhao said loudly, "Ning'er..."

Princess Yan Ning turned her head and said in a low voice: "Without my elder brother protecting you, there is no room for me in the palace."

Princess Yanning's words were exaggerated, but in Zhao Chongzhao's ears, he was filled with blood. This was the first time his sister expressed that she needed him!It is unreliable to ask God to ask the Buddha, he can find famous doctors for his sister just like what my sister said!

This should be reliable, right?

However, if he wanted to do this, he had to be a good prince first—only when he became a prince recognized by Zhao Ying, would anyone listen to him!

Zhao Chongzhao came back to life all of a sudden, and patted his chest to promise: "Ning'er, don't worry, I will definitely admit my mistake! After the confinement is lifted, I will listen to your words and learn to do things hard!"

Princess Yan Ning held Zhao Chongzhao's palm with firm eyes: "Brother, I will also work hard to live a long life."

The title "Brother" is far closer than "Brother". Zhao Chongzhao was dizzy when he heard it, and the pain in his arms and thighs seemed to have disappeared.He told Zhang Dade next to him: "Xiao Dezi, bring in the medicine, I want to drink it!"

Worried about how to persuade Zhao Chongzhao to drink the medicine, Zhang Dade ran out to fetch the medicine as if he had been pardoned.

Princess Yan Ning stared at Zhao Chongzhao.

Zhao Chongzhao's little heart skipped a beat, and he said guiltily, "The medicine is bitter, the medicine is too bitter, I want to let it cool before drinking..."

Princess Yan Ning did not scold Zhao Chongzhao like before, but said with a smile: "I will drink with you."

Zhao Chongzhao felt that his sister seemed to be different in some way, but he couldn't tell what the difference was - but what was certain was that he liked this change very much!

Zhao Chongzhao said happily: "Ning'er, I will get better as soon as possible!"

Princess Yan Ning did not go to Zhao Chongzhao the next day, but sent someone to get the things Xie Zean made up to the East Palace.

Zhao Chongzhao saw the people below busy to work, couldn't help but put on crutches and ran out to see what they were doing.There is a large school field in the East Palace, which is used by Zhao Chongzhao to practice martial arts.

Yesterday, Princess Yanning sent a group of trustworthy craftsmen to the Xie Mansion to find Xie Ze'an with the blueprints, so that they could clarify everything that they couldn't understand.They started work early this morning. Outdoors are mainly some exercise equipment, which are not difficult to make. Ding ding dong dong can be done in one afternoon, but indoor things are more difficult. The most complicated thing is a sand table. It takes the longest time to shape according to the drawings and to make a lot of small parts.

Fortunately, the craftsmen of the palace were already excellent in craftsmanship, and this little thing could not trouble them.

Zhao Chongzhao looked more and more curious at the side, grabbing the craftsman and asking around.The craftsman had no choice but to give Zhao Chongzhao the "instructions" written by Xie Ze'an, and let Zhao Chongzhao figure it out by himself.

Zhao Chongzhao had almost forgotten Xie Zean at first, but when he saw Xie Zean's words, he immediately remembered it.It was nothing when I couldn’t remember, but when I thought of such a person, I suddenly missed it very much.

Zhao Chongzhao felt itchy in his heart, and wanted to go out and play with Xie Ze'an.

Zhao Chongzhao followed the doctor's orders more seriously to drink medicine and exercise.

What Zhao Chongzhao didn't know was that Zhao Ying had been to Princess Yanning's residence that night.

Zhao Ying asked straight to the point: "I heard that you went to the East Palace?"

Princess Yanning nodded, she glanced at Zhao Ying, and said, "Brother, he will really change this time."

Zhao Ying's face turned cold: "Didn't he say he would change?"

Princess Yan Ning bit her lower lip.

Seeing Princess Yan Ning's sad expression, Zhao Ying felt sorry for her, but she never softened her heart.He said: "Don't worry about him. After the year, the clan will come back to worship the heavens. At that time, I will choose a few smarter sons of the princes to study with him in the palace."

Princess Yan Ning was shocked.

Zhao Ying only has her and Zhao Chongzhao's sons and daughters. She is a daughter, and she is not in good health. There is no suspense about who the throne will fall on.But what does Zhao Ying's move represent?It means he decided to take a wider view.

If Zhao Chongzhao continues to mess around like this, Zhao Ying will choose one of the princes to inherit the throne!

The most important thing in Zhao Ying's heart is the stability of the entire Daqing Dynasty.

Since Zhao Chongzhao is a Dou who cannot be supported, he would rather fall by the side of the country than let his own son ruin the future of the Daqing Dynasty!

Princess Yan Ning felt a burst of blood rushed to her heart and forced it to her throat.She took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, propped herself up and knelt down on the ground: "Father, think twice!"

Seeing Princess Yan Ning knelt there tremblingly, and rarely called herself "Father Emperor", Zhao Ying felt distressed for a while.But he didn't help his daughter up immediately, but said in a deep voice, "Yan Ning, sometimes we inevitably put our close and distant relatives at the bottom."

Princess Yan Ning's body was crumbling, but she insisted on finishing the sentence: "Give my brother another year, give my brother another year. Father, my brother will really change this time. If he doesn't change by next year, Yan Ning will never change." Don't mention it again!" She gritted her teeth and paused for a long time before continuing, "Father is in his prime, give brother another year..."

Zhao Ying stretched out her hand to pick Princess Yan Ning up from the ground, hugged her in her arms pitifully, and said with a sigh: "Yan Ning, I don't know how many more years I can last."

Princess Yan Ning's eyes turned red when she heard this.

She knew Zhao Ying was telling the truth.

Zhao Ying fought constantly in his early years, and he had little chance to recuperate after he ascended the throne, and his body was already broken.Although Zhao Ying is only 50 years old now, his temples are already graying, and his legs and feet and old injuries hurt like heart in autumn and winter.

How many years can such a body last?

Princess Yan Ning only hated her poor health and Zhao Chongzhao was too young to share her worries for Zhao Ying.

She wept silently in Zhao Ying's arms.

Zhao Ying couldn't be more ruthless after being cried by her own daughter.

Zhao Ying carried Princess Yan Ning to the bed and put her on the bed, and said in a deep voice, "Yan Ning, just as you said, give him another year." He stood up, turned his back to the bed, "Inheriting the throne is not a child's play , everything has to be prepared early—Daqing can’t afford another chaos.”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Ying asked the palace staff to take good care of Princess Yan Ning, then turned and left Princess Yan Ning's residence.

Princess Yanning's vision was hazy.

No matter how much Zhao Chongzhao was wrong, it was her brother.

Since ancient times, which of the abolished princes has a good end?Either die violently or be imprisoned, it is extremely miserable!

Princess Yan Ning thought of what her eldest princess aunt said to her: "Your father is the most cruel person in the world."

At that time, she only thought that her aunt was grieving for the son-in-law who died on the battlefield, so she was exaggerating. She didn't expect her father to be so cruel to her elder brother.

Princess Yanning didn't sleep all night.

Tossing and turning until the sky was pale, she asked the maid to help her into the wheelchair and turn to the bookshelf.

Princess Yan Ning waved everyone away, took out a neatly stacked stack of drawings, and looked at them carefully.After flipping through the drawings that contained many wonderful ideas, she reached out and took out the two best-hidden notes.

The snow-white paper seemed to have some miraculous effect, which made her feel at ease inexplicably.

She wants to live a good life.

At least she can't go down until the year is over.

The name "Xie Sanlang" once again uncontrollably appeared in Princess Yanning's mind.

She knew that Xie Sanlang was a smart man, and a bold smart man at that.

He can think what others can't think, and do what others dare not do. Many incredible things will happen naturally in his hands--Zhangjiayi, Jinyulou, and marriage. These few things seem to have nothing to do with each other. But there is a hand behind the push.

The owner of these hands is Xie Sanlang.

Maybe he didn't expect that the emperor would give Li a marriage, but since he took advantage of Zhao Chongzhao's influence, he definitely expected that his existence would be heard by the emperor.

From this point, it can be seen that there is a bold gambling nature in his character, he is betting on the emperor's stomach and mind - the bargaining chip is his talent that he showed in front of her, in Yan Chong, in Zhao Chongzhao and even in front of everyone in the capital.

Xie Sanlang is telling Zhao Ying that he has the ability to make troubles, but if he does not make troubles, it is up to Zhao Ying to judge.

Zhao Ying must have understood what he meant, that's why there was that ridiculous marriage between Xie Jiyu and Li Shi.

Looking back, Princess Yan Ning couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for him: If it were an unreasonable emperor, how could he tolerate his "coercion" that seemed obedient but actually acted recklessly?I am afraid that the three of them, mother and son, disappeared from the capital long ago.

But Xie Sanlang won the bet.

Zhao Ying used the seemingly absurd finger marriage to give him a good background.

From now on, he is Xie Jiyu's son and has nothing to do with Xie Qian.

So Xie Sanlang is bold and smart - what's more rare is that his luck is extremely good.

If Zhao Chongzhao has such a person who can always bring "variables" by his side, maybe he can grow faster.

Princess Yan Ning was in a daze for a long time, and finally she clenched the paper in her hand and murmured: "Can you help us? Will you help us..."
