After the princess entered the palace, the war god prince broke his back

Chapter 182 Death-Free Gold Medal

Inside the palace, the first rays of morning sunlight shine on the exquisite glazed tiles, reflecting colorful light, as if shrouded in a sacred light.

Today is the emperor's birthday, and the entire palace is filled with a solemn yet festive atmosphere.

After getting off the carriage, Xiao Hanye and Chu Nanyue went to Yikang Palace first.

This was the first time he saw Chu Nanyue come to pay respects to the Queen Mother, so he and Chu Nanyue respectfully saluted the Queen Mother at the first moment: "Han'er and the princess pay their respects to the Royal Grandmother."

This was the first time the Queen Mother saw a woman by Xiao Hanye's side, and his usually cold and handsome face seemed to soften a little. She couldn't help but look relieved and said with a smile: "Hurry up! Zhu Ruo, take your seat!"

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for granting me a seat!" Xiao Hanye and Chu Nanyue bowed their heads at the same time.

"Please take a seat, Prince Yan!" Seeing the servants bringing up the chairs, Jiang Wanyan spoke before Zhu Ruo.

Zhu Ruo didn't care. She said to Chu Nanyue in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Princess Yan, please take a seat!"

Chu Nanyue said obediently: "Thank you Aunt Zhuruo, and thank you Princess Zhaoren!"

Xiao Hanye then glanced at the pretty figure in purple gauze behind him and said indifferently, "I was wondering when a maidservant was added to the palace of the Royal Grandmother. I didn't expect it to be Princess Zhaoren! Princess Zhaoren is the master. There is no need for her to serve me like a maidservant. If this gets out, it will make everyone laugh!"

Jiang Wanyan smiled sweetly: "Prince Yan, you are joking. It is Yan'er's blessing to be able to serve you!"

The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and said nothing.

Chu Nanyue also took a sip of tea without saying anything.

Although she hated Jiang Cha Cha who was trying to curry favor with her, could she say anything in front of the Queen Mother? What kind of relationship did they have?

She is an outsider, but she benefited from the fourth grandson's help!

Let's let her see how this fourth grandson performs today?

Sure enough, the fourth grandson was no joke. He took her hand and walked out: "In order to prevent the Royal Grandmother from seeing the blood, Han'er should take the princess away first! When Princess Zhaoren realizes the difference between men and women, Han'er will come to pay his respects again!"

Jiang Wanyan looked embarrassed: "Prince Yan...Yan'er just wanted to..."

The Queen Mother finally put down the teacup and said in a deep voice, "Yan'er, go and see if my medicine is ready."

She was so disappointed in her friend that her Yan'er really didn't know how to judge the situation.

The Prince of Yan obviously didn't buy her trick!

Seeing that the Queen Mother gave her fourth grandson a step down, Chu Nanyue immediately pulled her fourth grandson back to sit in his seat and asked with concern: "Queen Mother, are you feeling unwell?"

The queen mother's eyes flickered, and she suddenly raised her voice and said, "Good boy, I heard that you are Xiao Wen's master? You are so young, but your medical skills are really so superb?"

Chu Nanyue was still wondering who Xiao Wen was?

Xiao Hanye replied for her: "Everyone has their own specialties. Ah Yue is just good at surgery!"

He didn't want his daughter-in-law to frequently go in and out of the palace in the future.

"Just protect her!" The Queen Mother pretended to be unhappy, and then she yawned and said, "I am really old. I can't speak for a few words and I feel exhausted. If you two are bored, go and pay your respects to your mother!"

Xiao Hanye pursed his lips, and seeing that the Queen Mother had bruises under her eyes and seemed to be really ill, he couldn't help but be slightly moved.

After all, he was the child raised by her in Yikang Palace.

"The Imperial Grandmother is not old!" He whispered, "Ah Yue, show the Imperial Grandmother!"

"Aunt Zhuruo, call Doctor Wen over!"

Zhu Ruo also watched Xiao Hanye grow up, so she knew what he meant. So, she glanced at the empress dowager, and seeing that she had no objection, she immediately stood up and asked for Doctor Wen.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry!" After paying her respects, Chu Nanyue placed a silk handkerchief on the Empress Dowager's wrist and began to take her pulse carefully.

By the time Doctor Wen arrived, Chu Nanyue had already taken the patient's pulse.

She breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the empress dowager paid attention to her health and was not seriously ill. It was just some old-age symptoms.

"Your Highness, you are not old at all. As long as you take good care of yourself, you will have no problem living for a few more decades!"

Doctor Wen also agreed, "My master also said so. Your Majesty, are you relieved now? You just have insomnia. Just take the medicine I prescribed on time!"

It would be fine if she didn't mention the medicine. But when she did, the Queen Mother got angry: "How dare you, old man, say that? You feed me such a big bowl of medicine every day. Even a dead person can be resurrected! I would rather suffer from insomnia than drink your bitter medicine!"

Seeing that the Queen Mother was fine, Xiao Hanye didn't want to stay any longer, so he said, "Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. The Royal Grandmother is so old, don't be so angry like a child!"

The Queen Mother became even more angry: "It's easy for you to say that, why don't you drink it every day and try it?"

Chu Nanyue glanced at Xiao Hanye, then handed the Queen Mother a cup of tea: "Queen Mother, please don't be angry. The prince is also worried and confused. You don't know his temper! It's not easy for him to say something caring!"

The Queen Mother drank a cup of tea from Chu Nanyue's hand before she calmed down. She took Chu Nanyue's hand and said, "Yueyue is the best child. Fortunately, Han'er met you. Otherwise, I don't know if I can see that brat get married in my lifetime!"

Now that Chu Nanyue has become a disciple of Grand Tutor Zhongyong and has superb medical skills, she likes her much more.

Just as the two were looking at each other, Jiang Wanyan came in carrying a bowl of black, steaming medicine.

Smelling the pungent smell of medicine, even Xiao Hanye couldn't help but frown.

Jiang Wanyan squeezed Chu Nanyue aside, then took out the candied fruit and said patiently like coaxing a child: "Empress Dowager, good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. After drinking this bowl of medicine, we can eat a few more candied fruits and it won't be bitter anymore!"

Although the Queen Mother was afraid of bitter medicine, she had to drink it. Yesterday she was afraid of the bitterness and did not drink it, and today she was yawning all the time.

She looked at Jiang Wanyan kindly and said, "Yan girl is also a good child. She is better than those bastards anyway!"

"Mother, who has offended you again? Let me beat him with a stick!" The emperor, dressed in yellow, came in and heard these words.

She would not scold the fourth child when she became the empress dowager.

When everyone in the room saw the emperor and the empress coming, they all bowed and saluted: "Father (Empress), Mother (Empress), how are you!"

"The Emperor is here!" The Queen Mother said as she sat up straight. Then she asked, "Emperor, that bastard Han'er said that good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. What do you think?"

The emperor's face froze: "!!!"

Xiao Hanye slowly curled his lips.

Doctor Wen also wanted to laugh, but he didn't have the courage to do so.

The queen was just about to rescue the emperor, but someone got there first.

"Empress Dowager, bitter medicine is good for the disease!"

Chu Nanyue's words instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone has different expressions.

The Queen Mother looked obviously uneasy.

Jiang Wanyan curled her lips. The conspicuous bag never gives up the opportunity to stand out.

The emperor was somewhat grateful to Chu Nanyue, but more importantly, he seemed to be indifferent to the matter.

The queen was good at observing the emperor's words and expressions. Seeing that the emperor was enjoying the show, she said something meaningful: "The future Princess of Yan is really like the prince of Yan, she speaks her mind!"

Is he just being outspoken or just being arrogant?

Xiao Hanye's eyes were cold, and he said word by word: "Thank you for the praise, mother. The princess I chose myself must be in line with my feelings, unlike others who have ulterior motives and take advantage of certain promises!"

Who doesn't know how to hurt someone's heart?

The emperor narrowed his eyes, walked to the Queen Mother's side, and said in a deep voice: "Mother, your son will help you with the medicine!"

Although the emperor was not angry, everyone in the room was not a fool. They all knew that he was suppressing his anger, so everyone tacitly kept silent.

Chu Nanyue continued, "Your Majesty, wait a minute..."

The emperor glared angrily: "Does the future Princess Yan really want to be like the fourth prince?"

He is so arrogant. Isn’t it enough for him to suffer just from the fourth brother?

Jiang Wanyan felt relieved when she saw Chu Nanyue being scolded by the emperor.

Chu Nanyue was so frightened that she immediately collapsed to the ground, trembling like a pitiful person.

Seeing this, Xiao Hanye went forward to hug her, but she stopped him. She stammered, "Your Majesty...you misunderstood me...I just wanted to say that the birthday gift the prince gave you today has the effect of calming the nerves and helping you sleep. If you are willing to give it up, then the Queen Mother won't have to take bitter medicine every day in the future!"

The emperor's mouth twitched: "What is it?"

When the Queen Mother heard that she no longer had to take bitter medicine every day, she immediately perked up. Her eyes sparkled as she asked, "Show it to me now, please."

Chu Nanyue looked at the emperor eagerly, and seeing that his eyes were also shining, she slowly took out an exquisite box.

As soon as the box was opened, the fragrance inside came out, and then the whole house was filled with a light and elegant sweet-scented osmanthus scent.

"Your Highness, this is a calming incense. It has the same effect as the bitter medicine on the table. If you light this before going to bed, you will fall asleep in half an incense stick. Not only will your sleep quality improve, but you will also be able to sleep through the night. You will never have to worry about insomnia again!"

Everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath. This fragrance was so refreshing! Intoxicating!

Xiao Hanye couldn't help but take a few more breaths. Is this the birthday gift she prepared for the old emperor? It smells like a good thing!

He doesn't have any!

Everyone knew that this was a good thing, especially Doctor Wen: "Master, can you allow me to take a look?"

In fact, he meant well. If anything went wrong with the things that had passed through his hands in the future, it would have nothing to do with Chu Nanyue.

This is just a little filial piety from his disciple.

After careful examination by him and several other famous imperial doctors, it was confirmed that it was indeed a good thing!

The emperor was relieved to see that the queen mother was relieved, but he said to Chu Nanyue: "Why didn't you take out this good thing earlier?"

Xiao Hanye replied coldly: "Isn't it because you were frightened by your father's roar?"

emperor:"!!!"

Chu Nanyue replied: "Your Majesty, this is the incense that the King of Yan specifically asked me to make for your Majesty to calm your nerves and help you sleep. He said that your Majesty is too busy with all kinds of affairs and has no rest at night. Therefore, I started to develop the incense to calm your nerves and help you sleep since last autumn. He wanted to give this precious gift as your birthday gift, but he didn't expect that the Queen Mother also has this problem. I think your Majesty was not thoughtful enough! I hope the Queen Mother and the King will forgive me!"

The emperor's eyes flickered slightly: "Fourth Brother, did you really prepare this specially for father?"

Xiao Hanye opened his mouth, but couldn't say "hmm". But if he didn't say it, Chu Nanyue would be guilty of deceiving the emperor, so he nodded stiffly.

When the emperor saw this, he smiled happily, a rare moment.

How could he not feel guilty towards his fourth son?

But he has the favor of both his mother and the Queen Mother!

When the Queen saw the Emperor's rare tenderness, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Later, Tai Ze saw the rare warmth between the father and son, and waved his hand: "Forget it, since Han'er is so filial to you, the emperor, keep it for the emperor. After all, it has nothing to do with the country, it's not that important. I'd better continue to drink my bitter medicine!"

The emperor immediately replied, "What are you talking about, mother? You are the most important person in my heart. Such a good thing should be given to you. My insomnia is not as serious as yours. I can just come and drink the bitter medicine occasionally!"

Jiang Wanyan had a constipated look on her face, and she looked at Xiao Hanye's handsome face and felt that it was getting more and more distant.

Where on earth did this evil star Chu Nanyue come from?

The evil star had another flash of inspiration and said, "I have a way to make it available to both the Queen Mother and the Emperor. I remember that when the tranquilizing incense was ready, Prince Chen snatched away a small portion of it. He said he would try it on your behalf. If the effect is really so miraculous, he will present it to you as a birthday gift!"

"Your Majesty's insomnia is not serious, so the one in Prince Chen's hand can be used for half a year. As for the Empress Dowager's insomnia, the one in Prince Yan's hand can also be used for half a year. After half a year, I will be able to make new tranquilizing incense. This way, we won't be delayed! It's really magical when I think about it!"

It was indeed a coincidence that the two brothers prepared the same gift, but she had a different explanation for missing it.

The emperor laughed out loud: "My youngest son, this is really an accident!"

The Queen Mother really wanted the calming incense. Anyone who suffers from insomnia knows how uncomfortable it is. Seeing that the problem was solved, she quickly signaled Zhu Ruo to take the calming incense, smiling kindly.

"Han'er and Yueyue's filial piety will not be in vain. Come, give them a box of pearls, a night-shining pearl, a jade-inlaid exquisite eight-treasure box, a pair of white jade ruyi bracelets, a diamond-inlaid white jade hairpin, a phoenix bamboo hairpin, and a peony flower hairpin!"

When the emperor saw that the empress dowager had expressed her opinion, he had to express his opinion as the king of a country. Of course, he really wanted to reward Xiao Hanye. After all, this was the first heart-to-heart interaction between them as father and son.

"reward!"

Since the Queen Mother gave Chu Nanyue's things as rewards, then he would give...

He hadn't thought about what to reward Xiao Hanye with yet, but Xiao Hanye saw through his intention first and said coldly, "Your son has everything he needs. The calming incense will be made by A Yue, so you can just give it to her, father!"

It was not so difficult to reward Chu Nanyue. The emperor was about to explain it to her, but Chu Nanyue knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have already been rewarded with gold, silver and jewelry by the Empress Dowager. I dare not hope for more. I hope Your Majesty can reward me with other things!"

The Queen is becoming more and more displeased with Chu Nanyue. This Chu Nanyue has been giving her surprises one after another, and now she even dares to ask the Emperor for a title. It's really disgusting.

The emperor glanced at Xiao Hanye and saw a hint of doubt in his eyes. He immediately replied loudly: "Tell me about it!"

Xiao Hanye was already feeling a little angry at this moment. Could it be that she wanted to cancel the engagement with him?

After all, this woman just wanted to take advantage of her acne-covered body...

He slowly clenched his fist...

But she said, "Your Majesty has shown me great generosity and has not cared about my background. He has granted me the position of a disciple of the late Loyal and Brave Grand Tutor. I am deeply grateful, but my childhood experiences were too much of a blow to me. Whenever I recall them, I feel as if I am in hell. So please grant me a gold medal of immunity from death!"

In fact, Chu Nanyue wanted to ask for Su Xi to be given to her elder brother, but ever since her elder brother knew that Su Xi was going to marry Prince Ning, he had devoted himself to studying... The key point was that she felt that even if she asked, the emperor would not agree!

Just like she also wanted to clear her father's name, the emperor would never agree to anything involving sensitive political affairs.

Then she can only ask for a gold medal of immunity from death!

This is a treasure that cannot be exchanged for any amount of silver!

Xiao Hanye slowly loosened his clenched fists.

No one expected that Chu Nanyue would actually ask for a golden medal of immunity from death. After all, the emperor was not a tyrant and would not demand people's heads at every turn.

Moreover, if the emperor wants someone to die, he will not let you live well even if you have a golden medal of immunity from death!

Chu Nanyue replied: A bunch of old ladies with bound feet, what do you know?

The emperor had not expected Chu Nanyue to be so afraid of death. Thinking that he would need her to make the incense for calming the spirit in the future, he agreed: "Yes!"
