Chapter 311 - Chapter 311 Chapter 312 Arranging to Handle Court Affairs

Chapter 311: Chapter 312: Arranging to Handle Court Affairs Chapter 311: Chapter 312: Arranging to Handle Court Affairs After Pei Huaian left, Shao He took out the silver needle, unbuttoned The Emperor’s clothes, and inserted the silver needle into his body, protecting his heart. Her movements were as smooth as flowing water, leaving onlookers utterly astonished.

Pei Chengye watched the people in the room, all focused on their father’s illness, slowly stepped back, turned, and left the room.

“Check how many people are guarding that child?”

“Yes, my lord!”

The attendant left upon receiving the order and returned after a moment to report: “My lord, there is only one nanny and a maid watching over her.”

“Go inform him to lead the people here, you know what else to do, right?”

“Your subordinate understands.” The follower nodded and quietly departed.

Half an hour later, The Emperor finally slowly regained consciousness and opened his eyes, prompting everyone to rush over.

Pei Chengye also pretended to be worried and even specially used his sleeve to wipe the corner of his eyes.

Pei Huaian, having just moved everything back, heard the news of his father waking and hurried over immediately.

He knelt down by the bed and kowtowed, his voice choked as he cried out, “Your son pays his respects to you, Father Emperor.”

Pei Chengye stood by, feigning tears.

The Emperor coughed lightly and glanced sideways at his sons, seeming to have something to say.

“Emperor, you are being needled, and this commoner girl dares not leave without permission, how about waiting until the needling is over before…”

“No need, you stay.”

After saying this, The Emperor’s gaze shifted to his sons.

Pei Chengye was momentarily stunned but quickly regained composure, lowering his eyelids, he said, “Father, are you feeling alright?”

“I have something to tell you,” said The Emperor in an extremely weak voice, his body covered with silver needles.

He was very aware that his strength was failing and understood that his body might not last for much longer.

“Father Emperor!”

The princes all knelt down, heads bowed at the sight of their father in this condition.

“You all are aware of my physical condition, it’s getting worse day by day.”

“Not at all, Father Emperor, you will definitely get better,” Pei Huaian stated emphatically.

“Yes, Father Emperor, you will surely pull through,” the other princes echoed in agreement.

The Emperor merely smiled faintly at their comforting words, then spoke weakly, “Currently, I am too weak to handle court affairs, you must help your father share the burden.”

“Yes, we will do our utmost to assist you in managing the state affairs,” the princes said unanimously.

“I hope from today onwards, each prince can shoulder his own responsibilities, rather than just supporting me.”

Upon hearing The Emperor’s words, the princes immediately understood the implications, their expressions varying.

Especially Pei Chengye, he knew this was a good opportunity, and if handled well, he might even become the Crown Prince.

“Father Emperor, your son…”

“Enough, from today, the Fifth Prince and the Third Prince will go to the Imperial Study Room to review the memorials every day.”

Pei Huaian and Pei Haolan widened their eyes in surprise, “Father, this…”

“Cough cough, do you dare defy my arrangement?” The Emperor’s piercing gaze fixed on the two.

“We dare not, your son obeys the decree,” the two said, bowing their heads in unison.

Pei Chengye’s gaze fell, a hint of red crossing his eyes, somewhat resentful that The Emperor had left such an important task to them instead of him.

But recalling his mother’s advice, he eventually held back and did not object.

The Emperor glanced at Pei Siyang and said, “You have a leg ailment and cannot take on responsibilities, but I hope you will assist them well.”

“Yes, Father Emperor,” Pei Siyang had no complaints, instead feeling content with his father’s arrangement, preferring the quieter life over reading memorials, as he enjoyed battling on the battlefield more.

Pei Chengye was still joyfully waiting for The Emperor to assign him tasks, but The Emperor merely gave him a brief look and did not speak.

Pei Chengye, envious, said, “Father Emperor, the Fifth Brother and Third Brother do not understand court affairs, if they were to take on this responsibility, it might be inappropriate.”

“What would be inappropriate?”

“The Fifth Brother has been recuperating at home, while the Third Brother prefers to roam and travel, never involving himself in court affairs. Although the Eldest Brother helps, he has rarely left his residence in recent years, let alone attended court.”

How could The Emperor not know his cunning mind, he snorted coldly, “Then who do you suggest could take on this responsibility?”

“Your son is willing to review the memorials along with the Fifth Brother and can also offer him some guidance.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone understood his intentions. Pei Huaian did not openly object.

Pei Haolan bowed and said, “Father Emperor, your son is willing to relinquish this position of reviewing memorials, Second Brother is right, compared to me, he is more suitable for reviewing memorials.”

“You… cough cough.”

Shao He had intended to remain silent, but seeing The Emperor in distress, she immediately said, “Emperor, for the sake of your health, please refrain from getting agitated.”

The Emperor paused to catch his breath before looking at them and saying, “Proceed as I have arranged, anyone who speaks further, do not blame me for being harsh.”

Pei Chengye pursed his lips, his face taut as if wanting to speak, but he also feared provoking The Emperor’s wrath.

Seeing his reluctance, The Emperor immediately said, “Regarding the matter of smuggling silver, I have decided not to pursue it, which is already the greatest grace I can offer you. Be content with what you have.”
