The leaves fall without parallel

Chapter 125 He is becoming more and more like a crown prince

The emperor was surprised to see the prince coming. He hadn't seen Ye'er for two or three days. He always felt that Ye'er was a little mysterious recently.

"How can the emperor look at his son like this?"

Xiao Lingye looked at his father's scrutinizing eyes and asked

"What have you been doing lately, Ye'er? Why are you so secretive? You haven't been seen since the hunt?"

"Father, I have something I have been hiding from you, but the time is not right, and I don't want to tell you yet, fearing that you will be disappointed."

"Oh, what is it? Can you tell me now?"

He was really curious about what his son was doing recently.

Xiao Lingye thought for a moment and said

"Actually, I recently met a miraculous doctor. She's treating my legs, and it's been quite effective. I feel like my legs are slowly regaining feeling..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a "click" sound, the sound of a teacup falling, and the tea spilled all over the emperor. The palace people were so scared that they knelt down quickly.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life"

Xiao Lingye was worried that his father would be scalded by the tea, so he instinctively stood up.

"Father, are you okay?"

It would have been fine if he hadn't stood up, but once he stood up, the emperor became even more excited. He stood up and walked to Xiao Lingye.

"Ye'er, you can actually stand up?"

The emperor's eyes suddenly filled with tears. He had imagined this moment for many years.

At this moment, Xiao Lingye realized that he seemed to be too excited just now, but he couldn't let his father know that he could walk, so he pretended to be unable to support himself and sat back down.

"Father, I'm sorry, it's my fault that I'm useless."

The emperor quickly comforted him

"Don't say that, Ye'er. I'm already very relieved that you can stand up now. How do you feel now?"

"Just now, I was worried that your Majesty would get burned, so I stood up excitedly. However, I haven't stood like this for a long time, so my legs couldn't support it all at once."

"Take your time, take your time. It seems that the miracle doctor you mentioned is really quite capable. I believe that in time, you will be able to stand and walk. I am so happy!"

Although the emperor was smiling, his eyes were already red. As a king, he should not be so emotional. If he were an ordinary person, he would have burst into tears.

"Father, the miracle doctor said that it will take a long time to heal this leg, so I may not be able to walk for a while. Also, I have another favor to ask."

"What's the matter?"

"I met a miracle doctor who healed my legs. Please keep it a secret. I don't want anyone else to know, especially those with ulterior motives."

"What about your mother?"

"Don't tell her for now. Give her a surprise when the time comes. I'm sure she'll be happier..."

The emperor was thinking of telling the queen about this matter just now to make her happy, but after Ye'er reminded him, it is indeed not the right time. Firstly, he is not fully recovered, and secondly, he is afraid that too many people will know about it, and what if something unexpected happens?

"Okay, I promise you, this matter will never be leaked."

The emperor glanced at the palace servant beside him after he finished speaking. He actually forgot to ask him to leave.

The palace servant kowtowed upon seeing this. He must have heard or seen some incredible secret.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I guarantee with my life that I will never leak this matter. Please have mercy on me."

"You are the third person to know about this matter. If this matter gets out, do you know the consequences?"

The emperor questioned

"I know, I know, I will keep it a secret. I swear, if I spread this, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."

"Well, let's go down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. I will take my leave."

The palace maid wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and slowly retreated.

"Eunuch Li has been by my side for many years, and he's not the kind of person who talks too much. If Ye'er is worried, I'll make him keep his mouth shut forever."

"Father, he is someone close to you, and I trust him."

……

The father and son had a meal together. The emperor was very happy and unconsciously ate a few more mouthfuls. At this moment, he suddenly thought of something and asked

"I wonder what the name of the miracle doctor Ye'er mentioned is, and where she lives. I have a great reward for her."

"Father, it's not the right time yet. If my leg is truly healed, I will introduce her to you."

"Okay, okay, I look forward to that day coming soon, hehe..."

"Father, Miss Ye was injured during the hunt. The Prime Minister's daughter was the mastermind, and my second brother was an accomplice. Father, you must stand up for Miss Ye."

"Regarding this matter, I have already ordered Lin Ruoyue to be detained in the Ministry of Justice for two months. As for the second son, I have ordered him to take out half of the money in the mansion and confiscate it for disaster relief."

"Does the Emperor believe that my second brother only paid the money?"

"I understand what Ye'er means, but if this matter is investigated further, it would not be too much for the second brother to be stripped of his title. However, now that Concubine Lan's mother's family has gained some power, I have made this decision after weighing the pros and cons. So, let's drop this matter. I hope you can understand me."

Yes, after all, he is the emperor's son. If he is eliminated, the emperor will not be willing to do so.

"Yes, I understand."

Xiao Lingye thought for a moment and said

"The Prime Minister is such an arrogant person. With her daughter imprisoned, she will surely do something crazy. Father, please be prepared."

"Humph, I've disliked him for a long time, and he actually dared to threaten me to resign."

When it comes to the prime minister, the emperor gets angry

"Is Father worried that once he leaves, those who formed cliques with him will follow him?"

"Yes, I'm afraid it will have a huge impact then."

"Actually, Father, you could look at it from another angle. The Prime Minister and his faction are relying on their status and position, and they're sure you wouldn't dare do anything to them. If you go along with it and help them, maybe they'll come back to you and beg you for mercy. Human nature is selfish. No matter how much they support the Prime Minister, they won't joke about their own future."

"What does Ye'er mean?"

“You can do this then…”

After hearing Ye Er's countermeasures, the emperor suddenly had an epiphany. He couldn't help but praise him.

"Ye'er's analysis is correct. They really think that the court can't function without them!"

"Even if they all retire, it's not a bad thing. Look at those old pedantic people. They are old and their brains are not working well. They talk about morality and justice, but they do shameful things behind the scenes.

It would be better to take this opportunity to inject some fresh energy into the court and give young people some opportunities. You will find that they are not bad and may even come up with some unexpected insights. However, if this matter is to be implemented, it still needs to be done step by step."

"Um"

The emperor nodded in satisfaction. It was beyond his expectation that his son, who had never been involved in politics in the past few years, could come up with such a novel idea.

It seems that Ye'er's legs are slowly recovering, and he has begun to pay attention to the affairs of the court. He is very pleased and believes that in the near future, Ye'er will be able to take on the burden and be independent.

He really looks more and more like a crown prince.
