Qian Jiyun was unlucky to have brought back such a troublemaker.

“Prince Sui said that his arm hurts and he can’t lift it anymore. However, Consort Wen summoned four imperial physicians to the palace to diagnose him.

“But strangely, the four imperial physicians did not find anything wrong with Prince Sui’s body, nor did they find any signs of poisoning. Consort Wen has summoned more imperial physicians.

“Prince Sui has been clamoring for Consort Wen to capture Miss An, so…”

He could not say whether Prince Sui was well or not. If he said he was unwell, the fact that the four imperial physicians could not diagnose him meant that he was not seriously unwell.

But if he said he was well…

According to the young eunuch who came to report to him, Prince Sui’s screams were very terrifying. Half of the imperial harem could hear them, right?

The old emperor’s expression darkened even more when he heard Eunuch Zheng’s words.

He’s just short of saying Prince Sui is pretending, right? How can this old thing say that? He should at least put it nicely, right? He’s my son!

However, he was the one who asked Eunuch Zheng to be straightforward. He could not blame him now, right? Hence, he could only glare at him before looking at Qian Jiyun awkwardly.

“Jiyun, there might be a misunderstanding. Prince Sui is still young and unstable. He must have lost face outside and spouted nonsense.”

He was wary of Qian Jiyun and did not want to offend him too much.

He had given him too much power back then because he was focused on taking back control of the southern border so that the 18 Stockaded Villages would not continue to be arrogant.

He did not expect to raise Qian Jiyun, a fierce tiger, instead of suppressing the 18 Stockaded Villages. He could not suppress him now, even if he wanted to.

It was pointless to regret it now. He could only think of ways to make things difficult for him.

“Your Majesty is right. Prince Sui is… still young.” Qian Jiyun uttered the last two words playfully.

If he remembered correctly, Prince Sui was born in the same year as him. He had been fighting at the border for so many years and became Prince Zhan Yun. Yet, Prince Sui was still young?

“I wonder what I was doing when I was the same age as Prince Sui?”

His tone and smile almost made the old emperor flush red. Only then did he remember that Prince Sui was the same age as Qian Jiyun!

He was furious! He even thought about beating Prince Sui to death.

Although Prince Sui and Prince De were his sons, Consort Wen’s family was not influential, and she was not favored. Prince Sui was naturally inferior to Prince De in the emperor’s heart.

Even the imperial physicians could not tell if Prince Sui was feigning injury.

The old emperor was too ashamed. He wanted Qian Jiyun to leave the palace first, but Qian Jiyun refused.

His wife had been bullied. If he left just like that, everyone would bully An Jiuyue in the future. He had to take revenge.

He said he had to see Prince Sui if he was injured. He would not shield An Jiuyue if she had really injured Prince Sui.

However, he was unwilling to go to the inner court for fear of attracting the ministers’ attention. The old emperor had no choice but to instruct Eunuch Zheng to summon Consort Wen and Prince Sui to the imperial study.

Poor Prince Sui’s arms were already numb from the pain. He sat in a soft sedan chair on his way to the imperial study, crying with a pale face.
