Chapter 143: Is Your Highness mentally prepared?
The next day, inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The big guys standing in the front frequently looked back at the thing tied up like a mummy at Jiang Yueyang's feet.
What did Lord Xiao Jiang bring into the palace?
After a while, Emperor Yuan arrived.
Emperor Yuan looked listless and his eyes were a little swollen.
He casually glanced down, and as expected, he saw something at Jiang Yueyang's feet.
"Jiang Yueyang, what mess did you bring into the palace again?"
Last time, the two durians she gave to the Queen made the entire Ning'an Palace stink, and he couldn't go home.
Jiang Yueyang stepped out of the group and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, it's a blue peacock. It insisted on following me, and I couldn't drive it away no matter how hard I tried."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuan stood up suddenly.
"What did you say?"
"I say it is a blue peacock."
All the civil and military officials looked over thoughtfully. They heard that His Majesty's peacock was lost yesterday and could not be found no matter how hard they looked.
This should be the one, right?
After Emperor Yuan was sure that he had heard correctly, he hurriedly walked down from the dragon throne.
He walked up to Jiang Yueyang, pointed at the bandaged peacock with trembling fingers and asked, "What...what did you do to it?"
Jiang Yueyang replied innocently, "I didn't do anything."
"What did you do to make it like this?"
"Well," Jiang Yueyang explained, "this peacock is ungrateful. I took it in out of kindness, but not only was it ungrateful, it even fanned me in the face with its wings.
I wanted to teach it how to be a peacock, but it slapped me again. After slapping me, it wanted to leave, but because it was too fat, it fell down in the middle of the flight and injured its head and feet.
The system said calmly: [Host, why didn't you say that it ran away because you wanted to pluck out all its fur?]
[It was because it hit me that I wanted to pull out its hair.]
Jiang Yueyang continued to play dumb with Emperor Yuan, "Your Majesty, I brought it here today because I want you to help me find its owner so that he can apologize to me and compensate me for the medicine.
As they say, people are like their animals. This peacock has such a bad temper, so its owner must have a bad temper too! If the peacock's owner refuses to apologize, Your Majesty, please make the decision for me."
Emperor Yuan: “…”
System: [Host, do you think the Emperor will acknowledge that Peacock is his?]
【Won't. 】
Emperor Yuan: Haha... So you know that the peacock belongs to me?
[Why are you wasting your energy? ]
I don't dare scold him to his face like the Left Prime Minister did, but I can scold him indirectly. He can't do anything to me. More importantly, these two slaps I took can't be in vain.
Emperor Yuan lowered his eyes and glanced at Peacock. You could have provoked anyone else, but you had to provoked her.
She was kind enough not to stew you.
Now I have to be scolded too!
But after all, it was the peacock he had raised for two years, and Emperor Yuan was reluctant to give it up, but he was also not willing to apologize to Jiang Yueyang.
So, after thinking for a moment, he said, "Jiang Yueyang, I will help you find its owner. Until then, it will stay in the palace temporarily."
"promise!"
Emperor Yuan turned around and returned to the dragon throne. After a while, a eunuch came over and wanted to take Peacock away.
Unexpectedly, Peacock bit Jiang Yueyang's sleeve tightly and refused to leave.
Emperor Yuan: “…”
How despicable you are! She is about to pluck out all your hair, but you still want to stick to her.
Jiang Yueyang looked down at the pointed beak on his sleeve, raised his hand and slapped it on the head without mercy.
Emperor Yuan:!!!
All the civil and military officials secretly gave a thumbs up.
But even after being beaten, Peacock did not give in.
Jiang Yueyang said expressionlessly, "If you don't let go, do you believe I will strip you of your feathers right now?"
Peacock opened his mouth instantly, and the young eunuch hurriedly carried Peacock away.
Emperor Yuan was devastated. He had raised it for two years, but he had never seen it so obedient and clingy to him.
I've only been with Jiang Yueyang for one day and this is it...
It’s better not to have an ungrateful person who can’t be tamed!
Seeing that the peacock incident had come to a temporary end, the Imperial Observatory's Director stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky yesterday. I later learned that it was caused by a strange fragrance emanating from Minister Jiang's house."
Emperor Yuan looked at Minister Jiang.
Before Minister Jiang could come out to respond, Jiang Yueyang yelled to the system: "Little melon, what should I do if His Majesty asks me to hand in the 'Seven Star Flower' later?"
Dean Guo was about to look at Jiang Yueyang. Sir Jiang, do you have the legendary "Seven Star Flower" in your hand?
[Does the host want to hand it over? ]
[No, I still need to use it to detoxify the Second Prince!]
As soon as the three words "Second Prince" appeared, everyone present changed their expressions.
Minister Jiang broke the silence, "Your Majesty, the strange fragrance yesterday was emitted by a flower my daughter raises. It simply attracted animals and there's nothing special about it."
The system said: [Then don't hand it over. Don't be afraid. If the emperor wants to take your things, the Left Prime Minister and Lord Wei will scold him without you even asking. Lord Wei has a strong temper and might even object!]
Lord Wei: ...Is it necessary to hit the pillar?
Emperor Yuan: “…”
Emperor Yuan waved his hand and said, "My dear minister, there's no need to be nervous. It's just a flower. I won't be so alarmed by it."
Jiang Yueyang's eyes lit up. [Your Majesty, do you mean you won't ask me for the Seven Star Flower anymore?]
[It seems so.]
Because it involved the Second Prince, the Director of the Imperial Observatory did not say anything at this time even though he was curious about the "Seven Star Flower".
Jiang Yueyang breathed a sigh of relief, [Fortunately, otherwise it would be too tragic if the Second Prince couldn't detoxify.
Those doctors at the Imperial Hospital are so useless! The Second Prince's silver hair and unusual eyes are clearly caused by poisoning, yet they can't even tell!]
Guo Yuanzheng looked at Emperor Yuan in horror, and then saw that Emperor Yuan was also looking at him.
He swallowed and suddenly felt a chill on his neck.
Those who had initially believed that the Second Prince was a monster also shrank their necks. Would His Majesty not want to settle the score later?
No, if the second prince was poisoned, who poisoned him?
The system said: [It's not their fault, actually. The toxin has mutated, and it's difficult for ordinary doctors to detect it.]
[But they are not ordinary doctors, they are imperial physicians.]
Dean Guo was sweating all over. "Ancestor, please stop talking. We will definitely work hard to improve our medical skills in the future."
The system was silent. The imperial physician was indeed not an ordinary doctor.
After hearing this, Emperor Yuan was no longer in the mood to attend the morning court. After dealing with a few important memorials, he announced the end of the court session.
As soon as Emperor Yuan left, the Third Prince calmly walked up to Jiang Yueyang and asked in a low voice, "The seven days are up. When do you plan to go and treat my second brother?"
"anytime."
Jiang Yueyang looked at him meaningfully and smiled, "Your Highness, are you mentally prepared?"
The third prince: "..."
