To be scolded so harshly by the future Emperor, heir to the throne, and current Crown Prince, anyone else would have been scared to death, but the large teapot showed no fear. Instead, it smiled and raised the medicine in front of Zhao Hanqing, saying, "Crown Prince, do you want to test the medicine first?"
This sentence was extremely rude and offensive!
As a Crown Prince, being willing to test medicine for the Emperor was a great display of filial piety. It would have been better if he hadn't said it, but now that he had said it, it was like roasting the Crown Prince on a fire!
You don't want to? That would be the most unfilial thing in the world! Could an unfilial Crown Prince be the Emperor?
No, absolutely not!
The imperial power advocated filial piety in governing the world. Unfilial piety was the original sin of a ruler. Even the Emperor could be deposed.
But if he really ate it … What if there was really something in it? Wouldn't that be the biggest joke in the world? Wouldn't that be the biggest injustice in the world?
Zhao Hanqing's face flushed red. He froze for a moment, then immediately reacted under the Emperor's cold gaze. He shouted, "Your son is willing to test medicine for Imperial Father!"
Then, he snatched the red pill and was about to put it into his mouth.
The old eunuch on the side was scared out of his wits. He quickly grabbed Zhao Hanqing's hand and covered the pill in Zhao Hanqing's hand with both hands. He quickly shouted, "Your Highness, you can't, you can't!"
Zhao Hanqing turned his head and said angrily, "Eunuch Huang, let go!"
The old eunuch shook his head like a rattle drum. "No, no!"
The Emperor finally opened his mouth. Panting, he scolded, "What nonsense! Give me the medicine! I trust the altar! If the altar harmed me, would I still be alive today? "
Zhao Hanqing subconsciously looked at the big teapot, only to see it looking at him with a smile. He couldn't see any disrespect, nor could he tell how domineering he was.
But at this moment, Zhao Hanqing's vigilance, fear, and anger were raised to a peak. He quietly let go of his hand and gave the pill to the old eunuch.
The old eunuch hurriedly mixed the pill with the soup and delivered it to the Emperor. After the Emperor swallowed the pill, his face quickly became rosy. He glanced at the Crown Prince and waved his hand weakly. "Go do what you need to do. I have people here to serve."
Zhao Han Qing retreated helplessly. When he finally left the palace doors, he unconsciously glanced back and saw that in the darkness, the Emperor was surrounded by the large teapot, the old eunuch, and the others. A group of eunuchs and serving girls surrounded him. His figure could almost not be seen. Only a bright yellow robe could be faintly seen through the gaps.
Zhao Han Qing was extremely angry. After he left the Imperial Palace, he stood in a daze in front of the huge square in front of the main entrance.
He hated the corrupt officials in the world. They had ruined the governance of the country and made countless people live in misery. He hated the big teapot even more for using drugs to control his father, making it difficult for him to pull himself together. He also hated the dissidents in the court who had always been against him, especially his whimsical younger brother, who was willing to compromise with the cultivation sects again for the sake of the throne!
He wanted to turn the tide, he wanted to save the common people, he wanted to let everyone live a good life, and he continued to persevere and work hard to lead by example.
But he felt that his efforts were in vain!
His opponents were still arrogant and savage. His father looked like he was about to die, but who knew how long he would live after being controlled by drugs? At the moment, the Great Qi Dynasty was a mess, and the outside world was supporting the rebels …
It was simply a mess, a dead end, beset from both inside and outside!
If he wanted to break out of this situation, where should he start?
Thinking of this, the Crown Prince could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Xiao Yueping, the bodyguard and the crown prince who was waiting outside, were scared out of their wits. They quickly went forward to support the Crown Prince. Then, she used her body to block the sight of the others and stood in front of the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince's body swayed. He used the handkerchief in his hand to cover his mouth and wiped it. He struggled to catch his breath. After a while, he pushed Xiao Yueping away and said, "I'm fine, I'm fine."
Xiao Yueping choked with tears in her eyes and said, "Your Highness, although the affairs of the country are important, you must take care of your body!"
Zhao Han Qing clenched the blood-stained handkerchief tightly in his fist. He looked up and let out a long sigh. He was exhausted and sighed, "The traitors are in charge of the country, and the affairs of the country are difficult. I have the heart to kill the traitors, but I am powerless!"
Xiao Yueping immediately said, "Your Highness, don't be discouraged! Millions of people are waiting for Your Highness to save them like rain after a long drought! "
When Zhao Han Qing heard this, he was shocked. Soon, he recalled the suffering people he had seen with his own eyes. A surge of strength rose from the bottom of his heart. He quickly pulled himself together and his eyes lit up again!
Yes, for the world, for the people who had high hopes for him, he must not give up!
Zhao Han Qing looked at Xiao Yueping and suddenly asked curiously, "Why are you here?"
Xiao Yueping saw that Zhao Han Qing had pulled himself together and his complexion was a lot better. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Your Highness, great news! Great news! "
Over the past few days, Zhao Hanqing had been busy amidst the mountainous pile of petitions for merits. These seemed to be extremely joyous events, but in his eyes, they were no different from a death warrant one after another.
They were all here to ask for official positions and money!
It was fine if he wanted to be an official, but where would the money come from?
Zhao Han Qing's face was a little ugly, but he squeezed out a smile, "Where did the joy come from?"
Xiao Yueping looked left and right and lowered his voice, "This is not the place to talk. Your Highness, let's go back to the palace first!"
Zhao Han Qing nodded slightly and returned to the Crown Prince's residence under the protection of the guards. The moment he entered the door, he urged, "Can you say it now?"
Xiao Yueping turned around and closed the door. She then drove all the servants away. Only then did she move closer to Zhao Hanqing's side. She lowered her voice and said in an extremely low voice, "Your Highness, there are two great happy events!"
Zhao Han Qing was stunned, "Oh?"
It was already not easy to hear about one truly joyous event, let alone two?
Zhao Han Qing said with some anticipation, "Tell me about it?"
Xiao Yueping said in a low voice, "The witness has been caught!"
Zhao Han Qing's heart shook, but he did not say anything.
He knew that this matter could be considered a good thing, but at the same time, it was also a bad thing!
Because this witness was a hot potato, he did not know how to deal with it!
Zhao Han Qing nodded slightly and said, "What about the second thing?"
Xiao Yueping chuckled and lowered her voice even more. She said something in an extremely soft voice, as if she was afraid that an invisible figure would hear her.
But this extremely soft voice fell into Zhao Han Qing's ears, it was no less than a sudden clap of thunder!
Zhao Han Qing's eyes suddenly widened, "Really?!"
Xiao Yueping nodded hard, an indescribable excitement on her face.
Zhao Han Qing immediately clenched his fists and quickly paced back and forth in the room. Then, he suddenly stopped and looked at Xiao Yueping with a suspicious gaze, "Are you really sure?"
Xiao Yueping said with a smile, "Yes! Not only did Zhenren Yue agree, but the other sects also agreed to send people to secretly cooperate with Your Highness! "
