Wu Jingyi heard this and also cursed his bad luck. He had already planned how to report on the anti-inflammatory medicine, but now with two princes waiting outside, he could only briefly mention the medicine, his hopes of garnering some credit were dashed completely.
After learning about the medicine, the Emperor took it very seriously and asked in detail before indicating Wu Jingyi to step down.
When Wu Jingyi left the main hall, he happened to run into the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. He hurriedly greeted them and, without waiting for a response, quickly left.
With several princes currently attending the Imperial Court acting up, he certainly didn’t want to court trouble.
Others may not have noticed, but he did—the Emperor’s complexion had been looking better and better this year, with wrinkles from managing state affairs seeming to have smoothed out significantly.
To his knowledge, the Emperor now spent over an hour at the martial arts training grounds every day. His serious attention to his health was obviously a sign of longevity.
For the princes to be acting up now was simply... foolish.
However, before he reached the palace gate, Wu Jingyi unexpectedly ran into the Third and Fifth Princes.
Sigh, seeing the two princes approaching him, Wu Jingyi could only stop and let out a sigh. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Knowing that Wu Jingyi had just returned from the Northern Frontier, many princes wanted to inquire about the situation, especially about Sir Xiao’s condition.
Now in Beijing, there were quite a few rumors claiming that Sir Xiao was actually Xiao Yeyang. At first, the princes didn’t believe it because Xiao Yeyang’s impression on them as a child hadn’t been very favorable.
But now, with more and more people spreading the rumors, even they were starting to doubt.
After exchanging a bit of pleasantries with the two princes, Wu Jingyi simply said, "When peace is restored to the Northern Frontier, Sir Xiao will surely return to Beijing. Then, everyone will naturally know. Ah, I still have matters to attend to and must see to them right away. Your Highnesses, I bid you farewell!"
Watching the departing Wu Jingyi, the Third Prince sneered, "That old fox!"
The Fifth Prince remained silent. In truth, Wu Jingyi’s evasiveness had already answered their question. Thinking of Xiao Yechen, who had been making appearances at various banquets in the city recently, the corner of his mouth curled up.
He was truly looking forward to Sir Xiao’s return to Beijing; it would be quite the spectacle.
On the other side, the Emperor, looking down at the Crown Prince and the Second Prince bowing and responding below, couldn’t help but think of Xiao Yeyang, who was currently handling affairs at the Northern Frontier on behalf of the Imperial Court. No matter how he looked at it, he felt his sons were inferior to his nephew!
"Father, the Tartars and Prince Ba are causing chaos in the Northern Frontier of Daxia. Your son requests permission to go to the Northern Frontier to fight the enemy," the Crown Prince said with a look of deep concern for the country and its people.
Hearing the Crown Prince speak thus, the Second Prince was startled at first, then hastily followed, saying, "Your son also requests permission to go to the Northern Frontier to relieve Father of his worries."
The Emperor looked at them indifferently, seeing through the little schemes in their hearts all too clearly.
