Chapter 40: The Weak Prince

When the prince was only 6 years old, her queen mother died tragically, and she was also her most beloved woman. It was not that he didn't know how she died, but it was just that he had not long since ascended the throne and the queen's family was powerful, so he could not do anything to her.

Fortunately, the queen had no children. In order to make up for his poor son, he made him the prince of Shuxing Kingdom and doted on him even though he had been weak and sick since he was a child and the ministers opposed him.

"Prince, it's time to take the medicine." A maid came in carrying a bowl of soup. This maid was sent by the second prince to stay by his side and was responsible for helping him drink medicine every day.

"Your Majesty, come and drink the medicine." The Emperor brought the medicine over, blew on it and handed it to Xiao Langmo. He watched him drink the medicine in one breath and asked the servants around him to take good care of the prince before he stood up.

Leave. The maid took the bowl and went down.

After the two of them walked away, Zhan Feng, the personal guard beside the prince, sent the servants away, quickly took a basin and handed it to the prince.

"Prince, spit it out quickly!" There is a chronic poison in this medicine, which is difficult to detect, but long-term use will cause death.

Over the years, the second prince has always regarded him as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, and has been eyeing the position of prince. However, due to the emperor's love for him and the protection of his personal bodyguards who are highly skilled in martial arts, they have not been able to attack him openly.

Xiao Langmo immediately spit out the medicine in his mouth, took the handkerchief handed over by Zhanfeng, and wiped off the remaining medicine stains on the corners of his mouth. There was a cold light in his eyes, and his face was no longer sick as before, and the corners of his mouth were gone.

Raising a wicked smile, the more restless you are, the more evidence I will collect.

"Prince, I have your letter." Zhan Feng handed the letter to Xiao Langmo. Xiao Langmo opened it and saw that it was a letter from King Han. After he read it, he smiled, and King Han couldn't wait to get it.

Will you marry your daughter to her?

But just in time, he could take this opportunity to go to Longyue Congress to meet with King Han. Presumably, the second prince would definitely take action on the way. By then, he could also collect more evidence and annihilate him when he comes back.

In the afternoon of the next day, the emperor came to the prince's palace to see him as usual. The maid reminded him to drink medicine. Xiao Langmo ignored her and just said to the emperor weakly, "Father, there is a letter from King Han of Langyue Kingdom saying that he needs medicine."

We will marry Princess Liu Zhili of Hechang to my minister in order to promote friendly relations between the two countries, and my minister wants to welcome her in person."

"Your Majesty, you are not in good health. If something goes wrong on the road, how will your father explain to your dead mother? Why don't your father send envoys to greet you?" The emperor said to the prince in a serious voice.

"Father, let's do this. I heard that there is a famous doctor in Langyue Kingdom who has superb medical skills. She even cured the Queen Mother's chronic illness for many years. You will ask me to visit this famous doctor first to see if my illness can be cured.

After he is cured, you can send envoys to greet him in a month."

The emperor pondered for a long time before agreeing. "Okay, then be careful on the road. Zhanfeng, you take good care of the prince. If anything goes wrong with the prince, I will ask for your help!"

"Yes, I obey my orders!" Zhan Feng said with cupped hands.

"Okay, no matter how big the issue is, it's not as important as your health. Come and drink the medicine." The emperor took the medicine and handed it to Xiao Langmo. He left with peace of mind after seeing him finish the drink.
