Xuexue frowned and asked, "Does the Emperor an to bring this uncle into the Imperial Palace and have the Imperial Physician treat his injuries?"
The Emperor nodded, "Yes, by doing this, is the Princess Consort of War Prince satisfied?"
Upon hearing this, Xuexue shook her head vigorously and said, "No need, I have already stopped Uncle’s bleeding. He lost a lot of blood and is very weak; he needs so nourishnt. If the Emperor has the heart, granting so silver to let him buy things to nourish himself would be fine."
What a joke, bringing him into the Imperial Palace?
As for the ministers who are officials in the royal court, who doesn’t know that the Emperor is stingy and holds grudges? Whether this uncle will survive after entering the Imperial Palace is hard to say, let alone any reward of silver or visits from any Imperial Physician. Emperor, you won’t even fool a ghost with that.
Xuexue would not want to risk innocent lives over a few words.
She initially wanted to do a good deed, but if it ended up making her an accomplice, it would be a sin.
With no other option, the Emperor had to let the little eunuch give the middle-aged man one thousand taels of silver, letting him return to buy things to nurse himself back to health, and so the matter was settled.
Finally, Xuexue did not forget to praise the Emperor in front of the common people.
The Emperor, who originally felt a bit displeased, imdiately smiled broadly after being praised by Xuexue.
The Emperor promised to severely punish the Fourth Prince, which reassured the common people to leave. As they departed, they didn’t forget to say, "The Fourth Prince brings disaster to the country and its people, causing such great harm to the people of Moli Country. The Emperor must bring him to justice."
Although the Emperor was not happy, he had to agree wholeheartedly under the public’s scrutiny.
The common people gradually dispersed.
The Emperor looked at Long Rui and said, "Beloved Minister Long, you ca just in ti. I was just about to consult with you on how to deal with the possessed matter."
The Emperor thought over and over, unsure how to handle it properly. Those who are possessed cannot be kept locked up forever, nor can they be killed, which would be a waste of manpower and resources; if one accidentally escapes one day, wouldn’t Moli Country suffer again?
Long Rui nodded; coincidentally, he also had matters to discuss with the Emperor.
And so, Long Rui followed the Emperor to the Imperial Study Room to discuss the solution for the possessed matter.
anwhile, Xuexue was invited by the palace maid by the Empress Dowager’s side to the Empress Dowager’s Palace.
Along the way, passing through many winding paths and magnificent pavilions and terraces, they finally reached the luxurious palace of the Empress Dowager.
"Princess Consort of War Prince, please." The Old Palace Maid invited Xuexue into the Empress Dowager’s palace.
Inside the palace, the splendid loft was surrounded by clear pond water, covered with duckweed, erald and clear.
In the palace, the Empress Dowager sat upright on a Noble Consort Chair, elegantly sipping tea. In stark contrast to her frightened state at the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas a while ago, after so recuperation, her face no longer sunken and even carried a blush, looking quite healthy; the Empress Dowager was recovering well.
The Empress Dowager wore a high-necked black wide-sleeved robe embellished with deep red embroidery. The dark patterns on the clothes shimred in dark ink tones, the flowing patterns appearing almost alive. Her hair was held up with a string of delicate pearls, which glowed faintly, embodying the perfect blend of beauty and dignity, appearing extrely graceful and noble.
The Old Palace Maid led Xuexue into the palace.
"To report to the Empress Dowager, the Princess Consort of War Prince has arrived." The Old Palace Maid walked up to the Empress Dowager, first bowing, then reporting with her head lowered.
The Empress Dowager slowly set down the teacup in her hand and looked at Xuexue with a full smile, saying, "The Princess Consort of War Prince has arrived, quickly, give her a seat."
The Old Palace Maid imdiately brought over a chair and placed it before Xuexue.
Xuexue dutifully perford a bow.
"Oh dear! Princess Consort of War Prince, no need for such courtesy. If it wasn’t for you last ti, I’d still be incoherently lying in bed now."
