Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Chapter 223 Stepping Stone

The emperor looked at the prime minister's concubine Lin thoughtfully. The crown prince and the second prince were always paying attention to their father, so they naturally noticed that their father's gaze had shifted.

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince twitched their lips. Although they were cunning and insidious, they would do anything to achieve their goals.

But Father! Look at what my aunt is doing!

Although you love beautiful women, you cannot ignore ethical principles!

That's the prime minister's concubine!

The prince thought for a while and suddenly felt relieved. If his father really did such a thing, wouldn't he be able to make his father abdicate by just inciting those pedantic and conservative ministers?

The corners of his mouth raised for a moment.

The second prince narrowed his eyes, and after a moment he suddenly remembered something!

It seemed like he attended the Third Prince's wedding banquet with his wife!

Even though he was the Second Prince, his mind went blank for a few seconds. No one should have noticed, right?

Otherwise, those officials will start to hold on to this point again!

He turned his head and whispered something to a young eunuch beside him, and the young eunuch obeyed and left.

The prince's eyes flickered, and he calmly asked the eunuch to follow.

But the second prince had already been watching carefully, "Why, this servant of yours doesn't seem to be very obedient, does he want to sneak away?"

The prince laughed and said, "How could that be? He just has a stomachache."

The second prince also pretended to be like that, "That's perfect, there is an imperial physician in this room, why don't we let him take a look?"

The prince curled his lips downwards and refused again, "Don't bother Doctor Chen, he just has a stomachache."

Seeing that the emperor had not left, Mu Wenyu was puzzled, "Your Majesty, this place is filthy, please move away."

The emperor refused and stayed so that he could watch the prime minister's miserable condition for a while longer and appreciate the beauty at the same time.

Veins bulged on Mu Wenyu's forehead, but as a subject, he could not force the emperor to leave his prime minister's residence.

So I can only endure it.

Lin Xueruo fed the medicine to her husband without looking away. She thought of the tragic bloodstain on the ground when she went out to look for her husband, and Mu Lianxue standing in front of her husband and looking down at him.

She just wanted to kill Mu Lianxue directly!

But her husband's injury was more important now, so she asked someone to lock Mu Lianxue in the woodshed first.

As soon as Mu Jinfeng, the other two and Mu Jinrong arrived at their father's room, they saw someone wearing bright yellow clothes. The four of them were not stupid, so they immediately saluted the emperor.

Then they all gathered around their father, their faces filled with worry, but they all had their own agendas.

Today is Tangxi’s big day, and more people means opportunities!

For example, my father was killed by a bad guy who sneaked in.

And they also took the opportunity to do some private things.

Mu Jinfeng's eyes were fixed on the prince, with deep hatred hidden in his eyes.

Mu Jinbai casually glanced at his father's bloody heel and felt unexpectedly happy.

It can't be that they all got into trouble and father is still fine, right?

A family should be together!

Mu Jinxi sat in a wheelchair, digging her nails into the wooden armrests, trying hard to suppress the joy in her heart.

My father will also sit in a wheelchair with him!

Mu Jinrong looked at the scene of his father and mother together in front of him, and all the uneasiness and guilt in his heart were wiped away.

If only father and mother could stay together like this forever!

Xu Jingshu was still outside the house at this time and was unwilling to go in. When she thought about the master being stabbed while lying on Lin Xueruo's bed, she felt extremely uncomfortable!

As it grew dark, the emperor had no choice but to leave, taking his two sons and the imperial physician with him.

After arriving at the palace, the emperor asked the imperial physician to tell the truth, "How serious is the prime minister's injury?"

Doctor Chen spoke without reservation: "The Prime Minister was ruthlessly cut back and forth on his Achilles tendon by the villain with a dagger, and even the bone was worn out with a little mark. He can't stand at all."

"And if the Achilles tendon gets cold, it will seep into the bone, which is very painful."

The emperor looked at the imperial physician and said lightly, "Imperial Physician Chen, you must treat the prime minister well. Be sure to use the most powerful medicinal herbs to help the prime minister recover as soon as possible."

Doctor Chen was shocked when he heard this. Using the most powerful medicinal herbs? And he wanted the Prime Minister to recover as soon as possible?

This has injured the muscles and bones, so you need to be patient and take care of it slowly, using the mildest medicinal herbs to avoid leaving a root of disease.

Your Majesty's meaning...

Doctor Chen's heart hardened, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will heal the Prime Minister's wound as quickly as possible!"

The emperor was satisfied and dismissed the imperial physician.

The Prime Minister's current dilapidated condition really won't affect him at all.

He was poisoned and his tendons were cut.

Before the former is healed, the latter comes along.

There have been so many troubles in the Prime Minister's Mansion this year.

"Someone, go check on the matter of the Prime Minister's wife exchanging girls!"

The emperor now remembered what the Prime Minister’s wife had said. Isn’t Miss Mu the Prime Minister’s wife’s daughter?

Originally, I wanted the Third Prince to marry the daughter of the Prime Minister so that he could gain some influence and hone his power over the Crown Prince.

As a result, the third prince still seems to have no power now.

Since the Prime Minister's wife could say it in public, it means that the Prime Minister also knows about it.

So will the Prime Minister still help this daughter who is hated by the Prime Minister's wife?

Without talking about the emotional aspect, and just talking about the power of the General Zhenbei's Mansion behind the Prime Minister's wife, would the Prime Minister take such a risk to help the Prime Minister's daughter?

The emperor knocked the desk with his knuckles. He granted marriage between the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the third prince. His original intention was to eliminate some of the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion and strengthen some of the power of the third prince.

Let the third prince become a stepping stone to the crown prince.

The second prince made a better whetstone.

In the past few years, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince have been competing against each other. The Crown Prince has restrained his arrogance, become more calm, and is more careful in doing things.

The emperor hopes that the prince can be better, but he cannot give things to the prince directly. Instead, he gives things to the prince's competitor, and then lets the prince defeat this person and get the thing.

Not only did the prince learn a lesson, but he also didn't get used to getting what he wanted easily.

Today, the power of the Second Prince and the Crown Prince is very balanced, so the Emperor cannot specially give good things to the Second Prince, for he is afraid that the Crown Prince will not be able to defeat the Second Prince.

So at this time I thought of the third prince who was of the right age.

Just arouse the ambition of the third prince first, and then give him some substantial good things.

Then he will move in the direction he planned!

Those who survived in this palace were all smart people, and the emperor believed that the third prince was the same.

Who wouldn’t covet this supreme position?

If there is a possibility of getting it, who can resist fighting for it?

The emperor curled his lips. It just so happened that the third prince would return to the palace with his new wife tomorrow.

At this moment, a beautiful concubine opened the door and said, "Your Majesty."

The emperor took a look at Concubine Li and didn't feel as fond of her as usual. He felt a little... bored.

He thought of Aunt Lin from the Prime Minister's Mansion again.

As unique as a blooming white peony.
