591 The Queen Manor Is Done (1)

For a few days, Asura did not come to the Helian Manor again.

In the past, Jiang Hai would always sit in the room and play chess with Qing Yan. After Asura came to visit, the two of them would change the venue of the game to the courtyard. In name, they were afraid that Asura would suddenly go crazy. Now that Asura did not come, no one would go crazy. The two of them still habitually placed the chessboard in the courtyard.

However, the two of them only looked at the threshold from time to time. There were only three lonely little black eggs left.

Ah Wei had cooked too much goat milk again…n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The matter of the identity of the Helian family’s young master and the Prince Consort had spread like wildfire in the court and among the commoners. However, the Three Laws Division did not have the right to handle this case. Everything was personally judged by the Emperor.

The news of the Emperor was sealed tightly. No one knew how the case was progressing and if the rumors were true.

The Prince Consort was imprisoned in the most tightly guarded prison. There were some things that could have been asked by the Prince Consort, but the Prince Consort vomited blood and fainted on the first day he was imprisoned. This made the warden, who planned to start with the Prince Consort, helpless.

The warden reported to the Emperor. What could the Emperor do? He naturally had to treat the Prince Consort’s illness first. He sent an imperial doctor to carefully treat the Prince Consort.

It was Imperial Physician Bai who came.

Imperial Physician Bai’s medical skills were brilliant. In the early years, he had been taking the Empress’s pulse. After that, he went to Little Princess’ side. He often walked around the Queen Manor and was extremely familiar with the Prince Consort’s situation.

It was also because of this consideration that the Emperor sent him.

Nangong Li came with him.

Nangong Li was the son of the Prince Consort. If his son wanted to see his sick father, even the Emperor could not say anything. However, the Emperor did not let Nangong Li go alone.

“How’s the Prince Consort’s pulse?” Outside the cell, the Emperor looked solemnly at Imperial Physician Bai, who was taking the Prince Consort’s pulse.

Imperial Physician Bai lowered his eyes and did not look at the Emperor or Nangong Li beside him. He said unhurriedly, “Your Majesty, the Prince Consort’s pulse is very messy. The Prince Consort caught a cold a few days ago and is now imprisoned. In his anger, his blood surged and he vomited blood and fainted.”

“Is my father in serious trouble?” Nangong Li asked worriedly.

Imperial Physician Bai said hesitantly, “I… don’t dare to say anything.”

Nangong Li’s expression darkened. “What do you mean, Imperial Physician Bai? Could it be that my father can’t wake up?”

Imperial Physician Bai cleared his throat and cupped his hands. “Your Highness, that’s not what I meant. However… The Prince Consort was injured in his early years and couldn’t withstand the stimulation. It’s not beneficial for him to recuperate in prison.”

The Emperor snorted coldly.

It was obvious that he was extremely disappointed in this son-in-law who had cheated his daughter into marriage. He already had a wife and children, but he abandoned his wife and son to deceive him and the Empress’s only beloved daughter. If not for the Empress’s words, he could drag this heartless man out and beat him to death a hundred times!

The Emperor did not care about the life and death of the Prince Consort, but Nangong Li could not let his father stay in prison.

Firstly, the Prince Consort was his biological father. He could not bear to see his biological father suffer. Secondly, there was something else about the Prince Consort’s illness. If Grandpa found out how the Prince Consort had been kept by his mother’s side all these years, his mother’s situation would be awkward.

“Grandpa,” Nangong Li begged. “Can we let Father return to the manor to recuperate first? Grandpa can send someone to watch over him day and night. We definitely won’t see him alone. When Father’s health improves, Grandpa can interrogate him. How about that?”

Although he said that they would not see each other alone, the Queen Manor was his territory. Wasn’t it up to him to see him? Of course, there was no need to let Grandpa know about this.

The Emperor was in a fit of anger, so he naturally didn’t feel so sorry for the Prince Consort. However, if the Prince Consort really died in prison, the consequences would be unimaginable. The crime of the Prince Consort had been established, so he had a reason to kill him. Now that everything had yet to be decided, the Prince Consort’s death was a tragic death.

Nangong Li gave Imperial Physician Bai a look.

Imperial Physician Bai understood and composed himself. He said to the Emperor, “The climate is recurring now. The prison is damp and the ventilation is not good…”

The Emperor waved his hand impatiently. “Got it. I’ll allow him to leave the manor to treat him.”

Nangong Li heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank you, Grandpa.”

However, just as Nangong Li was about to call for someone to bring the Prince Consort back to the Queen Manor, the prison guard reported that the Helian family’s master and Young Master Helian requested an audience.

Helian Beiming? Yan Jiuchao? Nangong Li’s eyes turned cold.

“Let him in,” the Emperor said.

“Yes.” The prison guard went outside the prison and led the two of them into the dungeon.

“Your Majesty.” In the passageway, Helian Beiming sat in a wheelchair and bowed to the Emperor. Then, he also bowed to Nangong Li. “Commandery Prince.”
