Chapter 138 The Duke's House's Eldest Daughter 8
The emperor recovered completely overnight!
When the news came out, the whole capital was shocked.
The most surprised of all were the imperial physicians. When they took the emperor's pulse last night, they had a bad feeling. Although they did not say it, they were worried about their future and their lives.
As a result, after just one night, the emperor not only woke up, but also looked very energetic, with a rosy face and full of life, as if he could kill a bull at any moment!
Could this be some magic elixir?
The imperial doctors kept muttering in their hearts, doubting that the emperor was really the son of destiny, and silently thanked God for his blessing.
Coincidentally, Emperor Shunde thought the same way.
After hovering on the brink of life and death for nearly a month, Emperor Shunde's consciousness was confused most of the time, but he was occasionally clear-headed.
Last night he was tortured to death by a high fever. In a daze, he saw a vague figure floating in front of the dragon bed. Then a fragrant pill slid into his mouth and turned into clear liquid and flowed into his throat in a blink of an eye.
His heavy body suddenly relaxed, and all his ailments disappeared. Unfortunately, perhaps because he had been ill for too long, his body was extremely tired, and before he could get up to thank her, she had fallen into a deep sleep.
When he woke up this morning, he felt extremely relaxed and full of strength, as if he had returned to the age of 18 overnight. He felt extremely comfortable.
So he was not mistaken last night, there really was an immortal coming to bring him medicine. Could it be that the God saw how diligently he was handling state affairs and specially sent him this great opportunity?
Emperor Shunde was extremely excited, and his blood was boiling. He suddenly felt like he could hold a morning court for three days and three nights without sleeping! (Is that still a morning court?)
It was completely opposite to his mood. When the emperor appeared in the court in high spirits, the princes who had been eager to fight for power these days were dumbfounded, and the court officials who were busy taking sides were also dumbfounded...
Unlike the imperial physicians who knew the truth and had relatively simple minds, their minds were much more complicated and they started to engage in conspiracy theories in an instant.
The Emperor (my father) doesn't look like he has just recovered from a serious illness. Could it be that he has already noticed the ambitions of the princes, so he pretended to be sick on purpose, hoping to sting them?
Princes: ...
Courtiers:…
A group of people who had previously fought to the death and almost came to blows in the court suddenly became as quiet as chickens, shrinking their necks and pretending to be quails, silently saying in their hearts: You can't see me, you can't see me...
Unfortunately, his mental power was not strong enough to affect the real world. As an emperor with great power and vision, Emperor Shunde summoned people for questioning as soon as he woke up, and he knew everything that had happened in the past few days.
He sat on the dragon chair, narrowed his eyes, and said in an emotionless voice, "I heard that during the days when I was sick, all the ministers were very busy!"
"Shh-"
With just one sentence, all the civil and military officials and princes in the court were frightened and knelt down in unison.
The rest of the story was all Emperor Shunde's business. He had a fierce outburst in the court and suppressed several of the people who had been very active in the past few days. Several ministers were dismissed from their positions, and their years of work were ruined. They took off their court robes and official hats with sad faces and were dragged away like dead dogs.
The second, third and fourth princes were all criticized. They looked like they had lost their parents and kept wiping their pale foreheads with their sleeves. Only the eldest prince, who knew that he was disabled and had no hope of ascending the throne, escaped.
In contrast, the ministers who had been neutral or suppressed by the princes in recent days have ushered in their spring.
Xu Chuan's immediate superior was disastrously dismissed in this incident. Not only was the false charges against him acquitted, but he was also promoted due to misfortune and became the Minister of Personnel.
This huge pie that fell from the sky almost knocked him out. Positions in the court were all filled to the hilt, and it was not easy to climb up.
The reason why he wanted to follow the emperor in the first place was because he saw that the positions of several important ministers above him were as stable as a rock, and they were all still in their prime, so the chance of promotion was far away.
Now you don’t have to do anything, just because you suffer a little “grievance”, you can get promoted directly?
Xu Chuan felt the joy of winning without any effort.
The entire Xu Guogong Mansion was filled with joy because so many people came to congratulate them that they simply held a banquet to celebrate.
There is no need to keep a low profile at this time. The emperor has recovered and everyone is happy. Is there anything wrong with that?
Xu Chuan was congratulated and flattered by everyone, and his heart was almost bursting with joy, but he was not really dizzy.
He pondered over it privately and felt that this was definitely not just luck.
His daughter had just told him not to worry, and a few days later the emperor completely recovered overnight, and his complexion and spirits looked even better than before.
There was another reason why he wanted to support the prince in the first place, which was that he thought the current prince did not seem to live long.
Thinking about the herbs that were sent to my daughter's yard from time to time over the past year, and the sudden increase in the amount of medicine recently...
hiss~
After the banquet, Xu Chuan, with a dizzy head, quietly ran to his daughter's yard.
Facing his father's eyes full of unknown desire, Shen Yuan raised his index finger to his lips and blinked at him mysteriously: "Father, follow the emperor in the future and do your job well."
Xu Chuan imitated her, blinked, and understood.
However, his curiosity was like a cat's paw, and he couldn't control it. It made him feel itchy, and he couldn't help asking, "Then Yao'er, how many more years do you think your father should work hard for?"
“Hmm—” Shen Yuan thought for a moment and said, “It would be best if father never changed his mind.”
Xu Chuan hissed in his heart, it seems that the emperor's health has really improved!
He clenched his fist solemnly and nodded seriously, indicating that he understood and promised to follow the emperor's steps all his life and be a loyal royalist!
At this time, Xu Chuan did not know that it was his determination today that would lead to the sixty years of harmony between the emperor and his subjects, which would be passed down as a good story in later generations.
With a workaholic emperor watching with full energy, there would be no chaos in the court, and the safety of the Duke's Mansion was largely resolved.
Chen Yuan made another batch of pills and made his family members extremely healthy. He then spent three years training a group of guards for his family, making the entire mansion almost impregnable.
After the Duke's Mansion had survived the death crises of the previous few lives, they left behind a bunch of amulets and then left the Xu family under the pretext of gaining experience.
For the next few decades, she kept traveling and seldom returned home. She traveled all over the country. The few times she came back, it was because she sensed that her family members who wore the amulet were in danger, so she teleported over to save them and then left.
It was not until Xu's father and Li's mother passed away that she saw them off for the last time, and there was no news of them since then.
