He stared at Shen Luoxi's profile, his face changing again and again. He didn't expect Shen Luoxi to say this at this time.
Cang Yunxuan took a deep breath and spoke as calmly as possible, "I remember, it's just that I've been busy these past few days and I can't spare any time, and..."
Shen Luoxi didn't give him a chance to speak at all, "In this case, the prince should seize the time. I have done everything I promised the prince. The prince has promised to keep his promise."
After that, she asked the groom to go faster.
Cang Yunxuan clenched her fists, "Are you so impatient? If so, why did you go to all the trouble to drug me to marry you?"
Shen Luoxi looked at him coldly, "At first, I was greedy for the prince's beauty, but I was blind and didn't realize that the prince was a heartless and unjust person. Now I can see clearly, so I want to stop the loss in time."
"The prince and I have reconciled, and the prince can live together with his sister. Isn't it a good thing for the prince?"
Cang Yunxuan remained silent.
In the past, this would have been a great thing for him, but after spending a long time with Shen Luoxi, he found that he needed Shen Luoxi more than he thought.
With Shen Luoxi here, he had an additional staff member who helped him a lot.
He really didn't want to let Shen Luoxi leave just like that.
So when he heard that Shen Luoxi wanted to make peace with him, he only had one idea in his mind, which was to tie up Shen Luoxi and lock him next to him...
Cang Yunxuan tightened her lips and squeezed out a sentence after a long time, "I will never break my promise, but now is the critical moment. If we reconcile now, the trust that I finally gained will definitely be taken back by the emperor."
"Can you help me for a while longer?"
Shen Luoxi raised his eyebrows, "I have helped the prince with many things. The prince can do the rest even without me."
Cang Yunxuan opened her mouth, and then spoke after a moment, "Before the dust settles, anything can happen. The prince is watching with eager eyes. If you are not here, I really can't handle it alone."
"I beg you, please help me... As long as this matter is over, I will never stop you again."
Shen Luoxi looked at him with some surprise, not expecting that Cang Yunxuan would actually lower his head.
She remained silent and slowly closed her eyes.
Without Cang Yunxuan's He Lishu, she wouldn't be able to leave justifiably, so she could only endure it for a while longer.
Seeing this, Cang Yunxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Shen Luoxi didn't refuse.
He knew very well that Shen Luoxi was someone he couldn't keep, and now he could only delay it as long as possible.
The two people on the carriage had different thoughts and returned to the palace in silence.
…
It was already midnight, and the emperor was still approving memorials. Cang Minglang came to him with a bowl of sweet soup.
"Father, you are tired after reading the memorial for so long. I specially asked the imperial kitchen to make you a bowl of sweet soup."
"My son let me dry it for a while, and now the temperature is just right."
The emperor put down the ink pen and rubbed the center of his eyebrows, indicating to Cang Minglang to put down the sweet soup, "I've been cold to you these past two days, do you have any grudges against me?"
A trace of murderous intent flashed through Cang Minglang's eyes, and he quickly lowered his eyes, removing the look in his eyes, "No matter what my father does, it has deep meaning. My sons and ministers only need to do their part."
"And the third brother is really helpful. With the help of the third brother these past two days, I have been able to handle official duties much more easily."
The emperor stirred the sweet soup, took a spoonful and drank it, "I am very pleased that you can think so. You are not as good as Yun Xuan in many aspects. Even though I specially asked you to go south to the south of the Yangtze River, the ministers in the DPRK still prefer Yun Xuan more. "
"Yunxuan and Lian'er are different. Lian'er is useless. If it weren't for the queen's blessing, he wouldn't be the first to be canonized as a prince. Now that he has gone to the fiefdom, he has no influence on you. But Yunxuan is outstanding in learning. I I hope he can assist you."
The emperor said many things for Cang Minglang's sake, but now only four words "not as good as Yunxuan" echoed in his mind.
The corners of his mouth drooped, his hands under the robe were clenched into fists, and his nails dug deeply into his palms.
This is what he has heard the most since he was a child. Regardless of his origin, ability, or appearance, he will always be outclassed by Cang Yunxuan!
If he hadn't worked so hard to please the emperor, he wouldn't be able to stand in the imperial study now. He might have been driven to a remote place to be a little prince!
How could he just be a little prince despite his true identity?
Cang Minglang watched the emperor drink the sweet soup, and the smile on his lips became wider.
"My father's hard work is understood by me, and I will definitely live up to my father's high expectations."
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "That's good."
When he picked up the ink pen and prepared to continue reviewing the memorial, he suddenly felt dizzy.
Cang Minglang supported him hypocritically, "Father, what's wrong with you?"
"I feel a little uncomfortable..."
If the emperor looked in the mirror now, he would definitely find that his face was frighteningly white.
"My father approved the memorial for a day today, and I talked to my third brother for so long. I think I am tired. From what I can see from the rest of the memorial, my father should go back and rest quickly." Cang Minglang said.
The emperor wanted to say something more, but he felt increasingly weak, so he could only nod his head, and then asked the eunuch to take him back to his bedroom.
Cang Minglang watched him walk away, a flash of madness flashing across his face.
The morning meeting the next day was canceled because the emperor was unwell, and all memorials were sent to the East Palace in Cangminglang.
Cang Yunxuan went straight to the East Palace, and her eyes flashed when she saw Cang Minglang immersed in reviewing the memorial.
He stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, it is really hard for His Highness to approve so many memorials alone."
"This is what I should do." Cang Minglang smiled, "The emperor appointed Gu as the crown prince, how can I let him down?"
"The third brother's face doesn't look too good, but have you been tired from accompanying the emperor on official duties these days? If so, the third brother must go back and have a good rest. It would be bad if he gets sick."
Cang Yunxuan smiled lightly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. However, the emperor suddenly fell ill. I wanted to take a look, but when I went to the emperor's palace, the eunuch who was serving him stopped me."
"They said that His Highness the Crown Prince ordered that visits must be approved by the Crown Prince."
Cang Minglang's expression did not change, "The emperor's illness was sudden. After the imperial doctor came to see him, he asked the emperor to rest quietly. Only then did he give such an order."
"I know that my third brother is concerned about the emperor, but this concerns the emperor's health. I can only listen to the imperial doctor's words."
Cang Yunxuan said in a deep voice: "It is better to let Princess Xuan enter the palace to show the emperor. Her medical skills are superb and she will definitely cure the emperor immediately."
"What the third brother said makes sense, but the emperor is just suffering from a minor illness, so letting Princess Xuan enter the palace would be overkill." Cang Minglang said with a smile.
