Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Chapter 198 Let King Ling assist the third prince
The third prince's side wasn't having an easy time either.

Although he has the emperor's favor, the third prince's original injury was very serious, and it would take at least half a year to fully recover.

Moreover, the doctors all said that even if his legs were healed, he would not be able to walk as well as before. There would definitely be some defects, just like his eldest brother.

The third prince recalled his eldest brother walking too fast and obviously lame, and felt uncomfortable when he thought that he would be like that in the future.

What made him even more painful was that just two days ago, he discovered that he was also affected in that area and was no longer able to do well.

Except for his close confidants, few people knew that he was actually in his concubine's bed when he was assassinated. He was in high spirits when suddenly an assassin came out and slashed his thigh. He became incontinent in panic at that time. , pushed the beautiful concubine out to block the knife for him, ran out disheveled, and pushed out the teacher who came over.

The third prince has not had any troubles in these years. He seems to be unpopular, but in fact he is the most favored. He just needs to behave low-key, and his father will solve the troubles around him.

He watched the second prince fight the eldest prince with cold eyes, feeling sarcastic in his heart.

He knew that no matter how fiercely the other princes fought, his father's throne would only belong to him.

No matter how hard the others fought, their father had no place in his heart.

So on the surface he looks humble and has no sense of existence, but in fact he doesn't look down on anyone in his heart.

He would sit on the dragon chair morning and night, and others would only fight for loneliness.

But in the past two days, his psychology began to become distorted.

He tried many times, but nothing worked. He tried it with all types of palace maids.

The third prince knew very well that no matter how much his father liked him, he would never let a sterile prince become the prince!
In addition, his legs may be lame, and his psychology will become even more distorted. After so many years of smooth sailing, due to an assassination by the second prince, he was not only exposed in front of others, but also had problems with his abilities in this regard for future generations. He Where can I afford it?
Afraid that the palace maids would reveal the secret, he had strangled six palace maids to death in the past two days.

Fortunately, his father doted on him and thought he was hurt and in a bad mood, so he let him vent his emotions. He never thought about other problems.

Only the two eunuch confidants around him knew about this.

"Your Highness, don't worry. This is definitely only temporary. Once you leave the palace, Your Majesty will give you a mansion and secretly find a famous doctor to treat you. You will definitely get better soon!"

"Yes, Your Highness, your physical injuries have not recovered yet and you need time to recuperate."

After hearing such words, the third prince felt better.

Moreover, his father wanted to confer a title on him, so he came to see him specially. Thinking of this, a smile finally appeared on the third prince's face.

Day two.

In front of hundreds of civil and military officials, the emperor granted the third prince the title of Prince Rui, and rewarded him with thousands of miles of fiefdom, [-] soldiers, and countless gold, silver, and jewels.

When the officials heard this, their expressions changed with shock.

Twenty thousand soldiers!

Personal soldiers are equal to private soldiers. Even King Ling, who has made great achievements in battle, only has a thousand personal soldiers at most. King Yundian who is far in the southwest can only have five thousand personal soldiers.

From ancient times to the present, no prince in any dynasty can have [-] personal soldiers!
The emperor's intention is already clear.

The faces of the two princes all looked ugly.

The second prince's lowered hand was clenched into a fist, and the veins were already bulging.

However, just when he thought he would also be given a title, his father unexpectedly announced his resignation.

"Your Majesty, wait a minute! The second prince is the legitimate son, and the third prince is younger than the second prince. Why do you only grant the title of king to the third prince? The second prince has already left the palace, but has not been given a title. How will the second prince deal with this? I'm afraid he is not going to become the king. What a joke to everyone in the world!”

an official shouted.The second prince knelt on the ground: "Father, I don't know what I have done wrong. Please tell me clearly!"

The emperor snorted coldly: "Why are you so anxious? I just haven't decided what title to give you yet. When I think about it, I will naturally give you a title."

After all, he turned around and strode away.

Darkness flashed in the eyes of the second prince. His father was no longer willing to be filial to his father, and refused to even give him the most basic dignity.

It is said that he has not thought about the account closure yet, who knows when he will think about it?

He just wants people in the world to laugh at him, and he wants the officials who are on his side to think carefully about it!

That being the case, don't blame him for being rude!
Murong Jiu and Jun Yuyan, who were far away in Chaling County, were not involved in the power whirlpool in the capital. The mining of iron ore was quickly put on the agenda. After explaining the previous matters clearly, Jun Yuyan was not as busy as before. , accompanying Murong Jiu to enjoy herself in the mountains and countryside.

But a few days later, the emperor suddenly summoned Jun Yuyan and Murong Jiu into the palace, and asked Murong Jiu to bring a medicine box.

"It seems something happened in the palace. Don't worry. If something happened to my father, he would have come directly here."

Murong Jiu nodded and changed his clothes before getting into the carriage.

Fortunately, it was a carriage from the palace, and the interior was very soft. Otherwise, with the speed of the eunuch in the palace, I don't know how bumpy it would have been.

The half-day journey took less than two hours.

When we arrived outside the palace gate, the sky had already darkened.

Jun Yuyan guessed correctly, it was not the emperor who was in trouble, but Eunuch Chen, who relied heavily on the emperor.

He tried the dishes for the emperor, and there were no problems at first. But when the emperor took a bite, he suddenly had an attack. The emperor induced vomiting in time. The imperial doctor said that there was nothing wrong with his body, but the emperor still felt dizzy and weak, so he asked Murong Jiu to come and see him. look.

After Murong Jiu took his pulse, he also saw that the emperor's body was not poisoned, and the dizziness was probably a psychological effect.

Moreover, the emperor had emptied his body before, so his physical fitness was not as good as before, and it was normal for him to be physically weak.

In order to reassure the emperor, she prescribed some prescriptions to soothe the nerves and replenish the energy, and presented an old ginseng plant found in the mountains of Chaling County to the emperor.

"Father, this is the old ginseng that the prince personally went to the mountains to collect for you. Your body and bones need to be recuperated, and you will definitely be able to return to the state of your prime."

But that's a bit exaggerated. Lao Ginseng was an unexpected income from mining.

There are two century-old ginsengs, this one is 50 years old at most.

When the emperor heard this, his face showed relief.

Perhaps the second prince was too troubled, and he now liked Jun Yuyan much more. Mainly because he felt that Jun Yuyan was self-aware and would not fight for anything, which was in line with his wishes.

Otherwise, no matter how much old ginseng is given to him, he will not feel anything.

"Okay, you two are both good. If you need anything in the future, just tell your father. Also, Yu Yan, your third brother was seriously injured this time, and he has become a lot more lonely. Please visit him more often when you have time. The palace has a look at him."

The implication is that he should get closer to the third prince so that he can help him.

Murong Jiu sneered in his heart.

This emperor really left all the good things to his beloved third prince. Others must make way for the third prince!
It is also selfish to the extreme.
