The emperor finally cald down under Pri Minister Miao’s words.
"Your Majesty, from what I can see, General Bai did not respect you at all." The royal ssenger wanted to stir the pot again.
"That’s enough, Sir Ling. You already relayed the ssage. You can leave now." Pri Minister Miao said.
Of course, the royal ssenger did not want to leave yet. He still wanted the emperor to punish Bai Xiang.
"Sir Ling, rember your position. Your work is done. You can leave now." Pri Minister Miao glared at the royal ssenger.
Pri Minister Miao knew what was in the royal ssenger’s mind. He probably wanted to use the emperor to satisfy his wish to punish General Bai for his mistreatnt at the military camp. Even so, did he think straight? General Bai was a Middle-Rank Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. No one in this country could fight him. The result would be gravely injured or worse, death. Pri Minister Miao did not want anyone to die like that.
The royal ssenger wanted to protest, but being glared at by Pri Minister Miao and Eunuch Ming caused him to back off. He knew if he kept talking, his fate would be sealed. So, he gave up and bowed to the emperor.
"I will leave first." The royal ssenger nodded.
The royal ssenger left the room. The emperor was calm at the mont.
"Your Majesty, think about it rationally. General Bai was probably refusing to let her daughter co back because he was afraid sothing might happen to his daughter." The Pri Minister stated.
"What can happen to her?" The emperor asked in a high tone.
"Well, Your Majesty, you can not deny that the fact that when General Bai left his daughter in the Bai Family’s care, his daughter had been mocked and abused. That was why he refused to let his daughter return and stay alone here." Pri Minister Miao said.
"I just want her to take a look at my son." The emperor said.
"Your Majesty, I don’t think that a young girl like Young Lady Bai would have the skill to cure the poison that had been created by Red Lilli. Red Lilli was a renowned poison master. His skill was very high. Even though Young Lady Bai is an excellent pharmacist, I doubt she would be able to cure the poison in His Highness the Fourth Prince." Pri Minister Miao tried to resonate with the emperor.
"But Lan-er... He will be a monk for the rest of his life." The emperor sighed.
"It is much more important than death." Pri Minister Miao said.
The emperor was silent. If that happened, his fourth son would have no claim to the throne if sothing happened to the crown prince. A prince without the ability to create an heir was not suitable to inherit the throne.
"So, Lan-er’s future is set." The emperor sighed again.
"Your Majesty, I know that His Highness the Fourth Prince is your backup crown prince if sothing happened to His Highness the Crown Prince, but you still have other sons that you can consider, like His Highness the Second Prince." Pri Minister Miao stated his opinion.
The emperor looked at Pri Minister Miao. He knew that Pri Minister Miao spoke on behalf of the country. Pri Minister Miao was not in anyone’s faction as far as he knew, unless other ministers had already made their choices.
"Yes... You are indeed right." The emperor nodded slightly. "Fine... You can go now." He waved his hand.
Then, they heard so commotion outside. The door was forcefully pushed from the outside. It created a loud sound. They looked at the figure who entered the room. It was Noble Consort Furen, Qian Yunyu. She walked to the emperor and greeted him.
Greetings to Your Majesty. I heard the royal ssenger finally returned. So, where is Young Lady Bai?" Noble Consort Furen, Qian Yunyu, went straight to the point.
"My dear, what are you doing here?" The emperor asked.
Actually, he did not know how to tell Noble Consort Furen, Qian Yunyu, that he had already given up on curing his fourth son. He knew that Noble Consort Furen, Qian Yunyu, would be sad and angry when she found out about that.
"Your Majesty, tell the truth. Is Young Lady Bai returning with the royal ssenger to treat Lan-er?" Noble Consort Furen, Qian Yunyu, was very persistent.
The emperor sighed heavily. Seeing this, Noble Consort Furen, Qian Yunyu, could not help but cry. The emperor pulled his beloved into his arms. Pri Minister Miao and Eunuch Ming sneaked out of the room, leaving the couple inside.
"Your Majesty, how can you lie to ? You told that you would bring Young Lady Bai to treat Lan-er?" Noble Consort Furen, Qian Yunyu, asked the emperor in tears.
The emperor felt hurt in his heart when he saw the tears on Noble Consort Furen, Qian Yunyu’s face.
"I am sorry, my dear, but General Bai refused to let his daughter return to the Capital City." The emperor said.
"He refused? How dare he refuse to obey Your Majesty’s order? He could be executed." Noble Consort Furen, Qian Yunyu, was furious.
"I know that, but he still refused. He even challenged to execute him. Can you believe that?" The emperor said.
"What? That is outrageous. How could he say that?" Noble Consort Furen, Qian Yunyu asked.
