Chapter 350: Heart Illness, Incurable
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Emperor Jingyuan could not help but smile bitterly. “Aunt, my three sons are all useless. I only hope that Noble Consort can successfully give birth to a healthy prince…”
“Yuhan, do you believe in karma?” The Grand Princess Imperial suddenly interrupted him and said coldly, “Back then, your mother caused trouble in the harem and committed many evil deeds. She harmed countless innocent concubines. Not to mention anything else, how much suffering did that young eighth prince suffer at her hands?”
Emperor Jingyuan fell silent.
He knew very well what his mother had done.
His mother had never hidden it from him.
He knew, but he had never stopped it.
Seeing that he was silent, the Grand Princess Imperial of Chang’an gradually calmed down.
She stood up and prepared to leave. Before she left, she thought of something else. “Prince Xian and you are from the same mother. All these years, he has been willing to become the sharpest knife in your hand. Compared to his achievements, what have you done as the ruler of a country? Little Seven is loyal to you because he fell into the water when he was young and you risked your life to save him. In the cold winter, you had a fever for three days and three nights. Because of this, Little Seven is filled with guilt towards you, his elder brother.”
“But you probably don’t know that back then, when you deliberately got someone to pave the slippery moss beside the back pool, I was feeding the fish in the pavilion beside it. If it weren’t for the maidservant beside me who passed by in time’, you probably wouldn’t have jumped into the pool immediately, right?”
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jingyuan hurriedly coughed.
In the end, he vomited a mouthful of blood!
The Grand Princess Imperial of Chang’an could not bear it anymore. She poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to him.
“In my eyes, you’re all my nephews. All these years, I’ve never been close to anyone, nor have I distanced myself from anyone. I only hope that Great Jing can be peaceful and the people can live and work in peace. However, Yuhan, I’m really disappointed that you didn’t do this…
“Do you really think I don’t know why Kang Le fell in love with Earl of Yong’an at first sight back then? 1 just… I just don’t want to believe it. Now you probably understand why I handed the black iron badge to Little Seven, right?”
The Grand Princess Imperial of Chang’an smiled helplessly. Before she left, she took a deep look at Emperor Jingyuan.
The disappointment in his eyes was self-evident.
The flustered and helpless Emperor Jingyuan finally closed his eyes in pain. His chest rose and fell faster and faster.
When the Grand Princess Imperial of Chang’an returned to the residence, she saw an uninvited guest.
Prince Xian looked at the tired Grand Princess Imperial and bowed respectfully. “Aunt, you look tired. I won’t disturb you anymore.”
“Little Seven.” The Grand Princess Imperial of Chang’an waved her hand at him. “Follow me to the study. 1 have something to tell you.”
On the other side, in Jade Garden.
Hearing that the Grand Princess Imperial had returned safely, Ji Zhao was completely relieved.
“Fortunately, Grandmother is fine.” Ji Zhao took the cup of red bean milk tea from Shen Yao’s hand and took a sip with a smile. Then, her eyes lit up. “It’s delicious! Husband, your cooking has improved a lot!”
“Thank you for your praise, wife.” Looking at the bright smile on her face, Shen Yao could not help but smile.
“But then again, why does His Majesty want to see Grandmother?” Ji Zhao blinked curiously and raised her eyebrows at the man beside her.
“Perhaps it has something to do with the black iron badge.” Shen Yao frowned slightly and guessed softly.
The person whom the late emperor trusted the most was the Grand Princess Imperial of Chang’an, who was from the same mother as him.
After the Great Jing Empire defeated the Rong Di Tribe, the Grand Princess Imperial of Chang’an offered herself in marriage to the Rong Di Tribe. After five years, she completely subdued the Rong Di tribe. Before the old Rong Di King died, he handed everything of Rong Di to the Grand Princess Imperial of Chang’an.
Later on, the Grand Princess Imperial of Chang’an brought Princess Kang Le back to the capital and stayed in the princess’s residence to worship Buddha all year round.
The Ci’an Hall, which covered the entire Great Jing, was a business managed by the Grand Princess Imperial of Chang’an.
In short, in the hearts of the people of Great Jing, the Grand Princess Imperial of Chang’an was a kind-hearted living Bodhisattva.
“I heard that when the current emperor ascended the throne, he only had the heirloom seal in his hand and no black iron badge. The last person he saw before his death was the Grand Princess Imperial of Chang’an.” Shen Yao gently wiped the corner of her lips and said in a gentle tone, “The current emperor’s physique is still considered healthy, but he’s so sick now. I’m afraid it’s a psychological illness.”
There was no cure for matters of the heart.
On the other side.
After Prince Xian heard the so-called truth from the Grand Princess Imperial of Chang’an, his mood was very complicated.
“He is my elder brother, the elder brother who risked his life to save me… 1 never thought that all of this was a plot, ha…” Prince Xian laughed wildly, but as he laughed, the corners of his eyes unknowingly moistened.
When the Grand Princess Imperial saw him like this, her heart felt a little heavy.
“Little Seven, it’s my fault. It’s not that 1 didn’t want to tell you the truth back then, but I always had a wishful thinking. Perhaps 1 heard wrongly? Perhaps Yuhan was just confused for a moment? After all, you’re brothers from the same mother. 1 was worried that your brotherhood would fall apart, so I pretended to be deaf and mute… But all these years, our Great Jing Dynasty has been devastated. The originally beautiful rivers and mountains are now… Now…”
The Grand Princess Imperial choked and cried. “I gave you the black iron badge for selfish reasons. That girl, Zhaozhao, is Kang Le’s lifeblood. All these years, the person I’ve let down the most is Kang Le, followed by you… I know that Zhaozhao’s husband is a promising talent. Little Seven, our Great ling’s world needs someone to protect it.”
Prince Xian left the Princess Imperial’s manor with heavy footsteps.
He had mixed feelings.
He had never thought of getting involved in that position.
As the younger brother of Emperor Jingyuan, he hoped that Emperor Jingyuan’s body could recover soon.
He was willing to become the sharp sword in Emperor Jingyuan’s hand and help him guard the northwest. He was willing to help him guard the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Great Jing!
But now, his many years of faith had completely collapsed. The elder brother he trusted and admired had schemed against him from the beginning.
In fact, when he was young, his brother had already wanted to kill him?
How ironic!
Prince Xian claimed that he was sick and refused to come out. The imperial court was in chaos.
Emperor Jingyuan had been ill for a long time and had not been treated. The Empress’s thoughts were obvious.
For a moment, the entire capital was in a state of panic.
Among them, there was no lack of excited courtiers who wanted to give it a try and overthrow the throne.
Even the Third Prince, who came from a humble background and suffered from an eye disability, gradually had people taking sides.
The forces behind the three princes were competing with each other!
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, another three months had passed.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, Ji Zhao’s stomach became bigger and bigger, and Shen Yao became busier.
At the end of the night, Shen Yao returned to Jade Garden in a hurry. The moment he saw Ji Zhao, his fatigue dissipated..
