Chapter 248: Guessing Each Other

Xia Yunle's face looked a little strange, but it returned to normal in a moment.

He lowered his head and said, "Of course I believe what the emperor said, but who is the prince..."

The old emperor stretched out his hand to interrupt what he was about to say, and then ordered the eunuch beside him: "Write an imperial edict. The prince is unforgivable and vicious. He is not worthy of..."

Every word was a venomous remark about him, every sentence was a rebuke to him.

There was total silence in the bedroom, everyone was shivering with their heads down, but within a few breaths, Nan Xu's sky changed.

The old emperor was in a very good mood as he smelled the fragrance of peach blossoms filling the room. He couldn't wait to put the teacup back to his mouth and drink it.

He sighed comfortably, "It's really a fairy product. I feel relieved and my body is much healthier. I can live for decades."

"Try it, old man. It's my reward to you."

The eunuch was flattered when he heard this, and he immediately knelt on the ground to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty. I am just a worthless person, how can I deserve to drink this kind of thing?"

"Besides, this is because the Princess Protector of the Nation was worried about your health even though she was unconscious. I don't know how much effort she put into sending you a bamboo tube. I will keep it for you to drink slowly."

"That's right. Ning Bao is the most filial. Even I am a little jealous of the Left Prime Minister. It would be great if she was my daughter. I would pass the throne to her."

The left prime minister was shocked when he heard this, and immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Ning Bao just feels sorry for the emperor, and has no other thoughts. Please take back what you just said."

Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. He instinctively felt that the emperor was testing whether the Xia family had any intention of rebellion. Thinking of this, the expression in his eyes gradually became more serious.

The old emperor sighed again, feeling that he had gained more energy in just a few hours than he had in his entire life.

"Okay, okay, I'm just talking casually."

"Go back to the palace and tell Master Yan to rest assured. I will give Ning Bao an explanation. Don't let him come to the palace to see the emperor at his age."

"Go back and tell Ning Bao that I thank her for the magic water. I will use it to protect her family and let her feel at ease."

"You old man, hurry up and send the left prime minister out. I am still waiting for you to come back and serve me."

The Left Prime Minister followed the Grand Eunuch out in confusion, and until now he still didn't understand why the good Emperor was so easy to talk to and directly dealt with the Crown Prince.

Seeing his appearance, the eunuch glanced around and whispered, "Since the goddess came to the world, the emperor has been dreaming about the ancestor, and when he woke up, he went to the sacred mountain."

Then he took a step back with a smile and said loudly: "Then I will take you here. Please walk slowly, Left Prime Minister. I still have to go back to serve the emperor."

Knowing that he was taking a big risk in saying this, Zuo Lian hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you for the ride, eunuch. I know how to get there from now on."

The two of them were talking nonsense, and only they themselves knew what they were really talking about.

As for the ministers waiting in the side hall, the old emperor did not meet them and just had them sent out of the palace.

He was holding a cup of magic water filled with the scent of peach blossoms. The eunuch also had a cup in his hand. He stood in front of the bed and drank it in small sips, fearing that this good thing would be wasted.

He lowered his head and asked, "Why did the emperor let me say those words? Do you think the left prime minister doesn't believe you?"

The old emperor was also helpless, nodded and said: "Yes, the left prime minister has been too cautious in his tenure as an official. He is not like Ning Bao, who is fearless like a newborn calf."

"Every time I say something, he has to think about it over and over again in his heart, trying to guess the emperor's intention, so that he can protect the safety of the family."

"So, when I say I will punish the prince, he won't believe it. He just thinks I am just speaking superficially and sending him away casually."

"I will also think in my heart that today's events are too smooth. Will I suspect that the Xia family has the intention of rebellion? Hahaha..."

"Old man, do you believe it? Every word I say is what the Left Prime Minister thinks."

The eunuch did not dare to answer, but just lowered his head and chuckled: "Your Majesty has been smart since he was a child, so I naturally believe what you said."

"When I spoke to the Left Prime Minister outside, he also looked surprised."

"Hey~~~ It's so hard to be the emperor. If Ning Bao really wants to do what he wants, no one in the world will be able to resist. It's better to just lie down."

"And..." There was silence in the bedroom for a long time before the old emperor continued, "I am serious about giving the throne to Ning Bao."

"As long as she wants."

Eunuch:!!!

He cried while holding the water in the teacup, not wanting to spill even a bit of it. This job in front of the emperor was too difficult, and he didn't want to know so many things.

Please let me go!!

As soon as the ministers left the palace, the imperial edict to punish the prince was read out. When they heard that the prince was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in the prince's mansion, there was an uproar, which caused a huge uproar in the capital.

[How could this happen? Is the prince guilty? ]

[Is the rumor true? The prince really killed people like crazy. ]

[He was not even given the title of a prince, but was directly demoted to a commoner, and he will never have a chance to be an emperor in this life. ]

[There must be something we don't know, otherwise the emperor wouldn't be so angry. ]

This move caught the ministers off guard. They immediately gathered together with people they knew, but they had no idea what the emperor meant.

The happiest person was the Right Prime Minister, who successfully escaped from the devil's cave, all thanks to the Left Prime Minister, otherwise things would not have gone so smoothly.

He jumped around in his study, thinking about what gift would be best to give to the Left Prime Minister, preferably one that would make him forgive him.

In the Xia family's study, the nine uncles of the Yan family gathered in the study again, and they felt uneasy listening to what was happening in the palace.

Even Master Yan didn't say anything, but frowned and said, "The emperor should tell the truth, this is what he thinks."

"Eh~~~"

"But there is a prince between the Xia family and the emperor after all. If he feels uncomfortable thinking about it later, I wonder if he will settle the old scores with us."

Uncle Yan was silent for a moment, then lowered his voice and asked, "Does my brother-in-law want to rebel?"

Everyone:! ! !

All eyes were fixed on Xia Yunle. More than a dozen pairs of eyes looked so frightening that he quickly shook his head.

"If Ning Bao is in danger, my son-in-law will certainly choose to rebel. Now it seems that the old emperor values ​​Ning Bao very much, so it is difficult for him to rebel."

"Let's observe for now. We can also win over some forces in the court. We'll decide everything after Ning Bao wakes up."

"If Nanxu can't tolerate our family, don't blame me for being ruthless and trying to seize this kingdom."

Master Yan relaxed his brows, nodded and said, "Okay, nothing is more important than Ning Bao waking up now. As for the rest, as long as the emperor doesn't understand the killing intention, nothing has happened."

"Don't forget to practice martial arts on weekdays, just in case."

"Dad also hopes that you will never be able to send me off. If that really happens, you will do your best to protect the women in your family and fight your way out."

He is not a pedantic person. Although he respects the emperor, he will not joke about the lives of his entire family.
