Princess Medical Doctor

Chapter 947: Good results, sharp edges

What happened twenty years ago was related to aristocratic families. This matter was not easy to investigate. The Eldest Prince immediately sent people to investigate after agreeing, but there was no progress in a short period.

The Eldest Prince was afraid that Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu were anxious, and that they would think that he was not doing his best, so he sent someone to send them news occasionally so that they could wait for the news with peace of mind.

The Eldest Prince wanted to come to the door in person. Every time he talked with Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu, he would feel better and be more confident about the future, but it didn't work!

His identity was there. If he gets too close to Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu, it will not only cause trouble for the two of them but also draw people's guard against him, making his father think that he is trying to win over the East Country's influence.

Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu were not naive young masters or young ladies who knew nothing about the world. Of course, they know whether the Eldest Prince has tried his best.

Before he could find out what happened twenty years ago, good news came from the Third Prince. The Third Prince not only wiped out the bandits but also recovered one hundred taels of gold.

When the news reached the Central Empire, everyone in the capital was excited and excited. The Emperor repeatedly praised the Third Prince in front of the courtiers and even said that the Third Prince was like him, the father.

The Third Prince had not yet arrived in the imperial capital, but he was unrivaled in the limelight, and he was vaguely striving to be crown prince. When several other princes saw this, they were so anxious that their mouths blistered. They kept trying to find evidence to suppress the Third Prince or use other methods to suppress the Third Prince's credit, but it was useless!

The previous incident of bandits kidnapping the imperial prince, the Prince of the East, and the Princess of the East was too big a deal. In addition, the Eldest Prince was reprimanded for rescuing people and letting the bandits go. As a result, this matter was pushed to a level that affected the empire's face.

This incident deeply slapped the Emperor in the face. Now that the Third Prince has killed the bandits and recovered the gold, how could the Emperor be unhappy and not write a decree about it?

In any case, no matter how much merit and ability the Third Prince has achieved, it was because he was a wise father. He does not mind giving the Third Prince some honors and favors. After all, this son has always won his heart.

Several princes were jumping up and down, trying to put down the Third Prince. They had been active recently, but the Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince were the only ones who showed no movement.

The reason why the Eldest Prince didn't move was simple. The Third Prince had made great achievements, which further proved the Eldest Prince's recklessness and incompetence.

How much the Third Prince was in the limelight now, the slander and criticism the Eldest Prince will bear will be greater. The Eldest Prince has not only lost the Emperor's heart but also lost the respect of the courtiers. Now the Third Prince's reputation was getting stronger and stronger. Under such circumstances, what else can he do except keep his tail between his legs?

Of course, this was just an illusion seen by the ministers. Although there were constant scoldings outside, the Eldest Prince was not anxious at all, let alone uneasy.

Xiao Tianyao has already made arrangements. As long as he acts according to Xiao Tianyao's plan, no matter how high the Third Prince is praised now, how hard he will fall in the future. As for him?

How much abuse and slander you endure now, how much glory you will receive in the future.

The Eldest Prince is now confident and does not take the Third Prince seriously at all.

As for the Seventh Prince?

He was still young and useless, but he didn't think that his Third Imperial Brother could achieve anything. In the past, like those outside, he thought that his Third Imperial Brother was so powerful. Only when he saw his true face did he know about him. His Third Imperial Brother was a coward.

"Don't worry, Imperial Concubine Mother. The Third Imperial Brother won't be able to live a happy life for long. Let's just watch the show." After escaping from the hands of the bandits, the Seventh Prince seemed to have grown up in an instant. He was not the same as before when he always needed his Imperial Mother Concubine's care all the time. Now, he can stand in front of her Imperial Mother Concubine like a little man, protecting her from the wind and rain.

The Imperial Concubine naturally benefited from the filial piety of her son, but she couldn't help but feel distressed in her heart. She had never thought about asking her son to take over the throne. She just wanted her son to be happy. Therefore, although her son had lived in the palace for more than decades, he was still as innocent as an ordinary child.

The Imperial Concubine didn't think there was anything wrong with this. There was only one throne, but the Emperor had seven sons. Except for the person who could ascend to the throne, everyone else who will fight for it would end up in the same way. She didn't want her son to live like that. She just wanted him to live a prosperous and peaceful life.

Her son will not fight for it. No matter who comes to power, her son will receive preferential treatment. Previously, their lineage was close to the Third Prince because the Third Prince had the most hope and was kind to her son. Although she would not blend in, she still helped to some extent, but……

After the kidnapping happened, she realized that it was all an illusion. The Third Prince was selfish and timid. He pushed her son out when something happened. If the Eldest Prince hadn't come to his rescue in a hurry, her son would probably have died. He will not die in the hands of bandits, but he will also die in the hands of the Third Prince.

"Imperial Mother Concubine, although the Eldest Brother is reckless, he is also very affectionate. He has taken great care of me along the way. Now that the Eldest Brother is at a low point, let's help him." The Seventh Prince said this even though he was not close to the Eldest Prince because he thought about his future, just like when he took refuge with the Third Prince.

It can be said that he and the Third Prince had a falling out. Although no one said it on the surface, the Seventh Prince knew very well after seeing the humble and the cowardly side of the Third Prince. If the Third Prince ascended the throne, he would be the first to die.

His Eldest brother and the Third Prince were fighting each other. Helping the Eldest Brother at this time would be equivalent to helping himself.

"He…your father doesn't like him, and the chance of him succeeding the throne is extremely low." The Imperial Concubine was naturally grateful to the Eldest Prince for saving her son, but the imperial power was overwhelming. If they team up with him, their life and her entire family will be at risk. She could not act just because of gratitude. This wind was too strong for her to bear.

"Imperial Mother Concubine, Imperial father doesn't like my eldest brother because his maternal grandfather's family holds military power." In the past, he thought that it was enough to have his father's love. For example, the Third Prince could be above all their brothers because of their father's love. But now, he saw clearly that their father's love was just an illusion. The only thing that was truly practical was military power.

He couldn't have the opportunity to get involved in military power, but the Eldest Prince could. He has military power in his hands. Although under the suppression of his father in the past two years, the military power of the eldest brother's maternal family has become weaker and weaker, a skinny camel was bigger than a horse. As long as the eldest brother's maternal family survives, no matter how much his father dislikes the eldest brother, he still has to let the eldest brother lead the troops in battles. From time to time, he could make contributions and gain prestige in the army.

The Imperial Concubine was not a stupid woman. When she heard her son's words, she started to worry about it, but she couldn't make the decision. She had to discuss it with her father before deciding whether to help the Eldest Prince.

Although the Seventh Prince's maternal family cannot be compared with the Third Prince and the Eldest Prince, it cannot be underestimated. The Seventh Prince's maternal family holds the power of the household department. If the Eldest Prince can get help from the Seventh Prince, then the Eldest Prince will have money for the soldiers……
