Before Emperor Ruikang fainted, his mind was only occupied with one thing, when he saw another son walk in front of him.

When he felt a bit of pain in his body and slowly regained control of his body, he was thinking, "Did I escape another calamity?"

Immediately, he heard the voices of his fifth son and younger brother beside him.

After confirming that the two were standing guard beside him, Emperor Ruikang heaved a sigh of relief before he even opened his eyes.

He slowly withdrew the golden needle in his hand, then looked towards Prince Duan and Ye Jingxing and said, "Your Majesty has already had a feeling, and will wake up in less than a cup of tea's time. This old subject will personally prepare the medicine and make some medicine to boil."

At such a critical time, the dean really did not dare let others do such small things.

Even if it was any of the other imperial physicians of the Grand Hospital, he would not be at ease.

It was because Emperor Ruikang's body was not too good and the medicine he concocted was unique. If the sequence of application was wrong, it could affect the medicinal properties of the medicine.

He also knew that the head of the hospital had already placed three papers on top of his head. Thus, after hearing the head of the hospital's words, he looked at the head of the hospital and declared, "As long as Royal Brother can wake up and survive this, I will plead for your life and allow you to return to your homeland.

When Prince Duan said this, the Head of the Guards trembled in excitement, not knowing what to do.

Therefore, he merely thanked the Prince Duan and guaranteed that he would use all of his abilities to treat the Emperor Ruikang.

After the Head of the Guards left, Emperor Ruikang slowly opened his eyes.

When Prince Duan saw that Emperor Ruikang had opened his eyes, he took the initiative to take two steps forward, looked at him and started to talk, then brought up the matter with the Chief of the Imperial Physician Guild.

"Royal brother, the dean is getting on in years. After you've passed this hurdle, you might as well let him go back to his hometown. It's not easy for him. "

These words, only the Prince Duan dared to say it.

With Emperor Ruikang's personality, such an imperial physician with such good medical skills would definitely not be willing to let her go.

However, the Head of the Guards was indeed too old, and the other reason was that the Chief's only son had died early, and only a daughter had been recruited. His son-in-law was not well, and he had left his daughter and grandson in poor health.

The grandson of the head of the institution was a defect in his womb. No matter how good his medical skills were, he could only nurture his grandson's body better, but could not completely cure the defect brought out by his womb.

The dean had really put in a lot of effort for the sake of his daughter and grandson.

Now the director wanted to bring his daughter and grandson back to the village, one to warm the south for them to take care of, and the other to find his grandson an ordinary strong peasant girl who could have a baby as soon as possible.

Emperor Ruikang also understood this, he knew that if he forced the Principal to stay, the Principal would definitely be unhappy.

In that case, it would be better to let him go. At the very least, he would remember his kindness in his heart and would seriously treat himself in the final days.

Not to mention that the other imperial physicians of the Grand Hospital had decent medical skills. Although they couldn't compare to the head of the hospital, his body, more importantly, relied on nurturing and nurturing him.

Thinking about that, Emperor Ruikang looked at Prince Duan and nodded, then raised his chin, and pointed ahead.

"Don't worry royal brother, there's Xu Shiqiu watching us from the front. The identity token that royal brother bestowed to me, was also given to Xu Shiqiu by me." After saying that, the Prince Duan thought for a moment before continuing, "After royal brother takes the medicine, do you want to meet the ministers?"

Prince Duan did not want Emperor Ruikang to continue working hard, but wanted a few powerful ministers to come in and take a look at him. To confirm that he was still alive, it was just that he needed to recuperate.

Emperor Ruikang naturally understood Prince Duan's meaning, and after hearing Prince Duan's words, he slightly nodded his head.

While waiting for the Academy Leader to boil the medicine, Emperor Ruikang looked at Ye Jingxing, his mouth wide open for a long time before finally being able to say a few words.

'Crown Prince... 'Bloodline... '

Hearing these words, Ye Jingxing immediately understood what his Royal Father wanted to ask.

Although he understood, Ye Jingxing did not plan to tell Emperor Ruikang the truth. After all, Yan Ye hated him.

Rather than letting him know that his grandson was still alive and unwilling to meet him, it would be better to keep it a secret from him and not let him know about this matter.

Furthermore, Xu Shiqiu had revealed some information to him before, and the Empress Hu didn't want the Royal Father to see Yan Ye either.

In order to not infuriate the Empress Hu, he wanted her to do something before she ascended the throne. Therefore, it was better to pretend to not know that Yan Ye was in the capital.

After understanding this point, Ye Jingxing looked at Emperor Ruikang and nodded, "Royal Father, this son has heard of this rumor as well, but I still do not know if it is true or not."

Since Ye Jingxing had said so, the Emperor Ruikang did not doubt him.

After all, more than ten years had passed, and it would be difficult for them to investigate this matter.

Besides, the news had come from outside the palace. It was hard to tell whether it was true or false.

The most important thing was that everyone believed that Ye Jingche and the Liu Family had caused this matter. That was why they did not investigate it seriously in the beginning.

But now, Ye Jingche was dead …

If this news still existed, then it was very likely that Ye Jingche and the Liu Family did not come out.

Emperor Ruikang pondered in his heart for a long time before looking at Ye Jingxing and saying once more, "Investigate."

Although it was just one word, Emperor Ruikang was still able to convey his meaning very well.

He told Ye Jingxing to investigate this matter.

Ye Jingxing did not decline, Yan Ye had long ago said that after he ascended the throne, he would leave the capital.

Counting the time, he still had half a month. As long as he controlled it well, he could still delay it for half a month.

Emperor Ruikang did not know of Ye Jingxing's thoughts, upon hearing his son's words, he closed his eyes and rested for a while.

After waiting for the time it took to make a cup of tea, Emperor Ruikang finally opened his eyes and looked at Prince Duan as he nodded: "Pass it down."

The Prince Duan understood Emperor Ruikang's meaning, his royal brother wanted to see a few important ministers.

When Prince Duan left Ye Jingxing to guard Emperor Ruikang and arrived at the front hall, he saw that the ministers had already eaten two pieces of dim sum under Xu Shiqiu's arrangements, and were starving. At this time, they were all sitting on the ground, obviously resting.

However, the moment they saw Prince Duan coming out, the ministers quickly stood up and looked at him in anticipation.

Prince Duan didn't have any intention of keeping people in suspense. He scanned the great hall and confirmed that everyone was here, before opening his mouth and saying, "His Majesty has already awoken. He is preparing to summon the ministers. Everyone wait." After saying that, the Emperor Ruikang nodded to Xu Shiqiu who was at his side, and then personally walked to the side of the several high ranking officials and led them to the inner hall.

Considering that Emperor Ruikang's health was not good, the Prince Duan did not bring many people to the Back Palace.

At one time, there were two ministers. It took them four separate sessions before they managed to meet all of the ministers that Emperor Ruikang wanted to meet.

As for the eight ministers, their faces were filled with worry as they entered. When they emerged, they obviously let out sighs of relief, which were noticed by everyone.

Seeing their expressions, everyone was certain of one thing. His Majesty was fine.

Prince Duan personally made a few trips and took the chance to observe everyone's expressions. Seeing that everyone was slowly relaxing, he also heaved a sigh of relief.

Although royal brother had already decided to give the throne to Ye Jingxing, his son, if something really happened to royal brother today, then the entire imperial court would definitely be in turmoil.

Master Xuan Ling had said this a long time ago, that this time, the changes of the throne would definitely be smooth sailing. If there were any mishaps, it would affect the entire Madame Ye.

This was also one of the main reasons why the Emperor Ruikang agreed to the zen position.

Seeing that everyone's expression had returned back to normal, Prince Duan was just about to open his mouth to say a few words and send everyone out of the palace. However, Ye Jingde who was previously like an invisible person suddenly opened his mouth and asked: "Uncle Wang, does Royal Father have a meeting with us?"

No one expected Ye Jingde to speak, even Ye Jinghui who was standing in front of Ye Jingde did not expect it.

As for the other princes behind Ye Jingde, they were still young, and would normally only be present during the Grand Examination. Although they were left here today, they did not have the intention to speak.

When Ye Jingde opened his mouth, everyone felt that something was wrong.

His Majesty had seen a few ministers, but why hadn't he wanted to see his other sons?

However, they were curious and did not dare to ask. After all, Prince Duan did not have a good temper.

Prince Duan was indeed unhappy in his heart. Even though he had already known that his Seventh Nephew's personality was not as simple as it looked on the surface, he never thought that he would ask him in front of so many people.

He stared at Ye Jingde for a moment. The eyes that he used to kill countless of enemies on the battlefield was not something that anyone could bear.

When Prince Duan felt Ye Jingde's body slightly trembling, he finally opened his mouth and said: "The one who I want to see, the one who I don't want to see, is royal brother. Right now, your royal brother needs to rest for two days. Two days later, we will have a meeting.

After speaking to here, the Prince Duan glanced at the Ye Jingde who seemed to be unwilling to accept this, and continued: "As for you guys, your fifth brother has always been by your Royal Father's side, he is your successor that your Royal Father has personally set down. With him here, this king thinks that it is enough."

With that, the Prince Duan opened his mouth at the end, "You all can leave the palace!"

Prince Duan was not afraid of these nephews. After he finished speaking, he did not even bother to look at his nephew's reaction as he flicked his sleeves and entered the inner hall.

After the Prince Duan left, Ye Jinghui turned to look at Ye Jingde behind him and said: "Seventh brother, you heard it? With Uncle Prince Duan and Uncle Wu present, Royal Father has already met with a few ministers. For the few of us, seeing Royal Father is not important at all. " Speaking to here, Ye Jinghui looked at Ye Jingde and sneered, then continued: "If you truly have a filial piety, you should be at ease and pray for Royal Father, didn't you hear what Uncle Wang said? Royal Father only needs to rest quietly, we can see him in a few days. Why are you in such a hurry? "

Ye Jinghui looked at Ye Jingde after he finished speaking, then turned to his other brothers and said: "All of you can go back now, quiet down for the next few days, and wait for the Royal Father to summon you all." After saying this, Ye Jinghui naturally left in a hurry.

His wife was still a month old and he hadn't returned for so long, so he didn't know how worried she would be.

As Ye Jinghui was the first to leave, the court officials also left one after another.

Today was the Grand Examination, so they had to wait until the end of the hour to get up. Until now, it had already been almost six hours, and they truly did not want to stay in the palace any longer.

Xu Shiqiu naturally could not leave so early, but after the Prince Duan spoke, he signaled Xu Yanhao and Ye Shuo with his eyes, and had them leave the palace to deliver the news to their families.

After he was sure that his nephew and nephew had left, Xu Shiqiu finally looked at Ye Jingde's back and sneered.

Right now, he was almost certain that the rumors outside the palace that the late crown prince still had his bloodline left in this world had been spread by Ye Jingde.

Thinking to this point, Xu Shiqiu withdrew the sneer on his face and thought to himself, looks like this Ye Jingde is really restless.
