Chapter 223 The emperor's thoughts on the Chu family
"I accept the decree! Thank you, my emperor, for your kindness! Long live, long live, long live!"
General Chu thanked him in a loud voice, which made the emperor's ears buzz.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me! If you can't handle the errand, you will be punished for both crimes. Also, find out the true identity of your concubine!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
General Chu has the attitude of getting whatever you say.
"As for her daughter, let's let it go first."
What the emperor was thinking was that he promised Jun Lingyun that when all the dust settled and the peace of the Yunxiao Kingdom was preserved, he would allow Jun Lingyun to avenge his mother's murder.
Although Jun Hongyan was also his son, after all, Jun Hongyan also had Xiao's dirty blood flowing in his body.
That bitch of the Xiao family was extremely vicious. She killed the woman he loved most, and she also fooled him for so many years, leaving the Xiao family as a cancer in the Yunxiao Kingdom.
What's more, among his sons, the only one who has the ability to turn things around and protect Yunxiao Kingdom from being divided by enemy countries is the prince.
If the prince's heart is chilled, there is a real possibility that the Yunxiao Kingdom will be destroyed in the hands of his current emperor. He does not want to be that eternal sinner. He does not want to be unable to see his ancestors after his death.
We can only abandon Jun Hongyan’s son. Chu Xueer, let her be buried with Jun Hongyan.
But he couldn't say this to General Chu. Father and son turned against each other, and brothers killed each other. It was not a pleasant conversation after all.
Although General Chu did not know how the emperor would deal with Chu Xueer in the end, at least for now, he was relieved. In his heart, he could not completely ignore Chu Xueer's life and death.
"Your Majesty's tolerance towards Wei Chen and his family will be borne in mind by Wei Chen and his whole family, and they will go to pieces to repay his kindness."
General Chu bowed down solemnly and saluted.
The emperor's anger calmed down a bit.
"Back off, I'll get upset when I see you."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."
General Chu exited the emperor's palace without any danger, and his eyes became sharp.
He knew very well that the crisis of the Chu family had just begun. The emperor could stand out from many brothers and ascend to the throne. How could he be such a kind person?
It's okay for the Yunxiao Kingdom to be stable. If the Chu family causes turmoil in the court, the emperor will not be lenient. The top priority is to dig out the Dongyi Kingdom's spies hidden in the Yunxiao Kingdom.
The emperor in the palace also narrowed his eyes. Based on his understanding of General Chu, he would not harbor enemy invaders without retaliating.
But regardless of whether General Chu did it intentionally or unintentionally, as the general who protects the country, he holds the military power in the north and cannot tolerate any mistakes.
The emperor closed his eyes and rested his mind, hoping that General Chu could distinguish between the powerful and sweep away the bugs, and not let him cut off his left and right arms with his own hands.
Eunuch Fu on the side watched his words carefully and did not dare to make any move. The more the emperor said nothing, the more worried he became.
In the General's Mansion, Butler Cao was checking the list, and the eldest lady ordered that all people related to Aunt Liu be detained.
After being carefully interrogated by the masters and gentlemen, they would find a toothsmith and sell them far away, to a place where they would never be able to leave.
An Er was left by Chu Yunxi to protect Huan'er.
Chu Yunxi, who had arranged the affairs in the mansion, was wearing a hood, going to the medical school with He Xiang and Xiao Lian to watch the competition between Dr. Zhang and another old doctor.
The imperial doctor's surname was Zhou, and his medical skills were among the best in the imperial hospital. Unfortunately, he was from Duke Xiao's party.
As the subjects of competition and treatment, they issued a recruitment order and were selected on the spot from the people who came voluntarily.
The people who came today were all injured patients. Because the medical treatment was free, the wounded patients who came here in awe had already packed the competition courtyard.
Some came limping by themselves, while others came with family members carrying single frames.
Some people are from poor families and hope that if they are lucky enough to be selected, they can receive free treatment. Others want to be treated by the imperial physician, who treats the emperor. Needless to say, his medical skills are high.
Normally, how could the imperial doctor pay attention to ordinary people like them? This kind of opportunity is rare in a thousand years.
Dr. Zhang and Dr. Zhou were preparing on the competition table. In front of them were silver needles, knives, white cloths, hemp powder, white wine, and various medicinal herbs for treatment.
Sitting on the referee's bench were doctors from various medical clinics in the capital.
They never dreamed that one day they would be able to serve as a referee for the imperial physician. In the future, all their ancestors would be in trouble.
Doctor Zhang and Doctor Zhou went around to check the injuries of the common people.
Doctor Zhou asked: "President Zhang, who do you think is a good match for the two of them?"
Doctor Zhang pointed at the two injured people lying on the stretchers. They both had multiple bite wounds on their bodies. They seemed to be hunters who had been injured by wild beasts. Some of the wounds were deep enough to show the bones. They were already somewhat ulcerated because they were not treated in time.
, if he is not treated, he may really die.
"Just the two of them."
Naturally, the two families were extremely surprised, and they all knelt down and kowtowed.
"Thank you, sir. Thank you for saving my life."
Doctor Zhou frowned. He originally thought that it would be enough to find two people who only injured their arms or legs and compete with each other. If something went wrong with two people who were about to die, it would damage the reputation of the hospital.
"President Zhang, time is limited."
He originally reminded Dr. Zhang to switch to two people with simpler injuries to treat him, but Dr. Zhang didn't seem to understand what he meant. He nodded in agreement and said:
"What Dr. Zhou said is absolutely correct. Let's start now. Don't waste time."
After the doctor Zhang finished speaking, he went back to the stand. When the doctor Zhou saw this, he had no choice but to follow him. He couldn't stay in the audience alone and mix with these dirty people.
Suddenly a woman knelt down and cried loudly.
"Sir, please save my son. He really can't hold on any longer. If he doesn't get treatment, he will die. Please show mercy and save his life."
Seeing this woman kneeling down to beg, the others couldn't hold it in any longer. Some even came from the outskirts of the city, just to get a chance to survive.
For a while, the people who were not selected burst into tears.
"Miss, what should we do? They, they are pitiful too."
It was the first time He Xiang saw such a scene. She knew that maintaining order was what she should do, but looking at the old, weak, sick and disabled in this courtyard, her sympathy for them became the highest in her heart.
How many people from poor families have no choice but to wait for death when they get sick? She herself was born in poverty and feels the same way.
Chu Yunxi didn't panic at all and asked He Xiang:
"Do you think there is a way to have the best of both worlds? One that can stabilize the situation and satisfy the people?"
He Xiang was stunned, is there really such a way?
"Hexiang, you are the person in charge here now. When something happens, your first reaction should not be to ask me, but to think for yourself."
Chu Yunxi knew that Hexiang's sudden change of identity would require her to adapt. But if Hexiang wanted to be her own person, she had to get rid of the habit of just following orders.
He Xiang paused and thought carefully about what Chu Yunxi said. The young lady was right. If she wanted to get out of the backyard, she couldn't rely on the young lady for everything.
