Chapter 43 The Regent

Regardless of whether Xia Yu is in Prince Rui's Mansion or not, Dongfang Xu cannot go there for the time being.After all, he was the one who hit Zhao Shuo's palm, and regardless of whether he was really injured or not, Dongfang Xu didn't want to make troubles with the King Regent's warning.

Turning back to the Prince Regent's Mansion, Dongfang Xu walked unhurriedly towards the ancient well in the backyard.There were two inner guards standing beside the ancient well, and when they saw Dongfang Xu coming over, they pulled a green brick at the mouth of the well without saying a word.

A crack opened in the ground, and Dongfang Xu walked down the stairs and entered the secret passage.

In the long and dark secret road, there are ten steps and one person, and the lights are bright.

When he reached the main room, he stopped in his tracks.

Through the stone gate, Dongfang Yue's confidant - Jing Ming sighed softly, "My lord, it's useless."

Dongfang Yue shattered the stone case with one palm, "Throw it out." He raised his head coldly, "Get in."

Hearing this, Dongfang Xu took a deep breath, opened the door and entered, "Father."

"Everyone is trash, what use is it for me to support you?" The moment the voice fell, everyone knelt on the ground, and the indoor and outdoor were lifeless.There is a price to be paid for making Dongfang more angry.

Official Yun shouted from outside, "My lord, report from the palace that the princess is ill."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of bones breaking for a while.

The cold wind whizzed by, and no one knew what happened. They only remembered that the inner guards were flying all the way, one by one, like sandbags thrown out, being blown away by the huge speeding force.

Except for Dongfang Xu and Jingming, everyone slammed into the stone wall and landed heavily.There was a muffled sound, and then a dead silence.

When Dongfang Xu came out of the secret path, Dongfang Yue had already rode away and headed straight for the palace.

Corning Palace.

Empress Dowager Bao Yao and Emperor Zhao Lu were both guarding the outer cabinet, and the imperial doctors were busy in the cabinet.

"Don't worry, Empress Mother, the imperial sister is auspicious, she will be fine." Zhao Lu supported the Empress Dowager Bao Yao.

Empress Dowager Bao Yao's complexion was not very good, her eyes were anxious.

The imperial physician stepped forward and said, "Report to the emperor and the empress dowager that the princess's condition has stabilized. The wound is infected again, so the high fever persists. After taking the medicine, the fever will go away and there will be no serious problems. Your Majesty, please." Don't worry, the empress dowager."

Empress Dowager Bao Yao felt relieved, "It's very good."

After speaking, he and Zhao Lu walked in.

Before he reached the cabinet, he heard a stern shout from outside, "How is the princess?"

Empress Dowager Bao Yao was startled, her face remained calm, she just glanced at Zhao Lu.Looking up again, Dongfang Yue was already close in front of her. Zhao Lu's hand trembled subconsciously, and she lowered her voice, "It's okay."

Zhao Lu nodded and remained silent, not even daring to look at Dongfang Yue.

Dongfang Yue snorted coldly, "How about the princess?"

After all, it is the princess' bedroom, and Dongfang Yue is a foreign minister.Foreign ministers are not called in, which damages the reputation of the princess.That's why he stopped and turned to ask Queen Mother Bao Yao.

Empress Dowager Bao Yao said, "It's all right now, after taking the medicine and the fever subsides, there will be nothing serious."

"Why did you get sick?" Dongfang Yue said coldly.

"The Ai family will deal with this matter." The Empress Dowager Bao Yao spoke very slowly, calmly, as if trying to contain her emotional fluctuations, "Don't bother the Regent."

Hearing this, Dongfang Yue glanced at Zhao Lu and stepped forward suddenly.

Shocked, Zhao Lu took a few steps back, breathing slightly, and hurriedly met Dongfang Yue's sharp eyes.

"Prince Regent." Empress Dowager Bao Yao shouted, and stood in front of Zhao Lu without saying a word.

Dongfang Yue smiled coldly, but bowed slightly, clasped his fists and said, "Old minister—see Your Majesty."

Zhao Lu clenched his sleeves tightly, his voice trembling slightly, "The regent is exempt, excuse me."

"I heard that the emperor has recently become obsessed with Luban's art. The emperor is the king of a country. How can he play with his own ambitions and ignore the people of the world? So, how can the old minister be worthy of the late emperor's kindness?" Dongfang Yue straightened up.

"The world, the world has its own regent and ministers, I, I can rest assured." Zhao Lu turned pale, hiding behind the Empress Dowager Bao Yao tremblingly.

Dongfang Yue sneered, "Your Majesty loves me so much, I will definitely live up to the Emperor's grace. The court affairs will be handled properly by the veteran, so the Emperor can rest assured."

"With the regent here, I have nothing to worry about." Zhao Lu smiled uglier than crying.

"The emperor is tired too, go back and rest!" Empress Dowager Bao Yao took a deep breath.

Zhao Luru was released, "I would like to follow the mother's edict, and my son and minister will go back immediately." After saying that, he almost ran out of Kangning Palace all the way.The little eunuch on the side ran along and wiped the cold sweat off Zhao Lu's forehead in a hurry.

All the servants retreated, only Dongfang Yue and the Empress Dowager Bao Yao looked at each other in the outer cabinet of Kangning Palace.

Dongfang stepped forward one step at a time, and the Empress Dowager Bao Yao's palms were wet, but she still stood still.

"Why did the princess get sick when she was so good?" Dongfang Yue narrowed his dangerous eyes, sharp as a blade, gouged Bao Yao's cheek fiercely, and suddenly shouted, "Say!"

Bao Yao's body was stiff, and she quickly looked back at him coldly, "What does the regent think?"
