Chapter 503
The emperor looked at Concubine Ming coldly, and said: "Pull the curtain, I want to see who is lying on my concubine's bed!"

"Father, don't be angry."

Gu Changyuan lifted the quilt, opened the curtain and got out of bed, knelt down, "I pay my respects to my father!"

The emperor was stunned: "King Xuan, you... why are you here?"

At this time, his face was pale, described as thin, and there was a trace of blood recently.

The emperor immediately thought that the blood on the ground belonged to him.

Gu Changyuan said: "I'm guilty of going back to Beijing without authorization."

"Let's get up and talk first." The emperor glanced at Concubine Ming, and his voice softened, "Since it's my son who came back, what are you doing in hiding? There are still sons who are afraid of seeing Lao Tzu?"

Concubine Ming snorted: "Naturally, the sons of the common people are not afraid of seeing Lao Tzu, but all the sons of the royal family are afraid of Lao Tzu."

"What are you mumbling about?"

The emperor glared at her, "The imperial doctor is here, show it to King Xuan first."

He was still thinking about his son vomiting blood.

The imperial doctor hurriedly bowed over.

Gu Changyuan sat obediently.

After a careful examination, the imperial physician pondered for a while, and then said to the emperor, "His Majesty, although His Royal Highness King Xuan has hidden injuries, but he vomited blood this time due to extreme fatigue. As long as you rest for a few days, you will recover. "

The emperor frowned: "When will this injury heal? Is your hospital too incompetent? So far, you have not been able to heal King Xuan's body!"

The imperial physician hurriedly knelt down: "The minister is guilty."

Concubine Ming said: "Your Majesty, don't make things difficult for others. The imperial physician is a doctor, not a god."

"Go down!"

"Yes, I'm going to make medicine for King Xuan."

The imperial doctor trotted away.

Only then did the emperor pick up the teacup, and said unhurriedly: "King Xuan, please tell me."

"Prince Xuan is not feeling well, so it's better for my concubine to explain to him." Concubine Ming said.

"Isn't it that you can't even say a few words?" The emperor said coldly.

Concubine Ming didn't dare to make another sound.

Gu Changyuan said: "Seven days ago, my minister got the news that the crown prince and the imperial concubine Shu had been murdered, so he immediately sent a letter requesting the emperor to allow my son to return to Beijing."

The emperor asked: "Why didn't I see the letter, but saw you instead?"

"You don't need to ask. Naturally, people are quicker than letters." Concubine Ming said in a low voice.

"Concubine Ming!" The emperor was furious, and put the teacup on the table, "Did I pamper you too much, making you mother and son so proud of pampering, that you don't take the rules seriously?"

Concubine Ming was terrified and knelt down.

The mother knelt down, and there was no reason for the son to stand, so Gu Chang Yuan had no choice but to kneel down again.

The emperor was still angry: "King Xuan, if you return to Beijing without permission, I won't punish you, it's not enough to calm people's hearts."

Concubine Ming hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Prince Xuan is not feeling well..."

"To shut up!"

shouted the emperor.

This was the first time the emperor spoke harshly to Concubine Ming since she became favored.

Gu Changyuan said calmly: "I know my mistake, I beg my father to punish me."

"Okay, since you accept the punishment, it's easy to handle." The emperor said coldly, "The decree has been delivered, King Xuan returned without permission, and King Xuan will be punished with [-] lashes! Three years for Lumi!"

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Ming turned pale with shock, she suppressed her fear and said, "I beg Your Majesty to forgive King Xuan, his current physical condition really can't stand these thirty lashes!"

"Since he can travel thousands of miles and return to Beijing without stopping, he may not be able to withstand a few whips." The emperor glanced at Gu Changyuan, "King Xuan, when you decided to return to Beijing without authorization, didn't you think of the consequences?"
