Chapter 217: What's the Use?
"Marshal, the capital is under parade and the palace is under threat."
Li Nuo was not with the Marshal, but he still had to do all the work. Chi Zhou was also busy following General Cheng.
It is necessary to ensure that most patients in the capital can receive medication immediately within three hours, and the families of the deceased must be comforted.
His Majesty the Emperor and Lord Chris have issued an order that the capital planet must return to normal order within five hours at most.
The Second Prince was forced to make his first interstellar speech. Well, no one cared what he said, not even his own mother.
"My dear concubine, please persuade your son to come back to work as soon as possible. My son is useless, so don't let him go out and embarrass himself. Otherwise, no one will be interested in him in the future."
The second prince's mother couldn't stand it anymore, so she took advantage of the old emperor's absence to come to the imperial concubine for help.
The imperial concubine's illness had long been cured, but the public could not know about it. She was forced to stay in the bedroom of this dead man, and she was so annoyed.
She originally didn't like meeting people in the palace, but now, as long as it wasn't the old emperor, she was happy to see anyone.
"Ye Xuan, what have you been busy with these years besides raising your son?"
Ye Xuan took a sip of the tea and couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.
"What are I busy with? There's nothing much to be busy with. I just do some illustrations, write novels, and research food when I have nothing to do. That's how I live my life."
Although the palace does not restrict them from going out, it is boring to mobilize a large number of troops every time they move.
Not only did she not like to go out, but the fourth princess's mother, Concubine Liu, also didn't want to go out like she did in previous years.
They were having fun in this big yard.
"You are still better, Imperial Concubine Sister. You can live outside the palace and have more freedom."
But they also know what this freedom comes at. They envy it, but they can't learn it.
"Although the old emperor is a bastard, he still has some interest in you."
Anyway, no matter who the old emperor is interested in, he has no feelings for these girls.
"So what? It's all in the past."
She smiled at Ye Xuan.
She's not the same person she was in her twenties at this age. Furthermore, once she has a child, it really doesn't matter whether her husband is there or not. It's just that she didn't think clearly back then, and she felt guilty towards her son.
But then again, that was the only heart-throb in my life, and I experienced a wonderful time there. I still feel a little sad whenever I mention it.
"The Mu family has fallen, and the Queen was secretly executed by the Marshal a few days ago. Do you feel better now?"
Ye Xuan was asking the Imperial Concubine if she was feeling well, but no one knew how upset she was. Back then, she was also forced into the palace by the Mu family.
"It's not entirely the Mu family's fault."
If the old emperor really wanted to reject these women, who could force him? It was just the result of his political weighing of the pros and cons.
Ultimately, she wasn't important enough to him to give up everything for him. So, she hated it most when he pretended to be affectionate no matter what.
It seems like she was the one who made all the mistakes these years!
Yes, she was wrong. She had misjudged him. She should have walked away long ago. She trusted him again and again until they had a child. What a scumbag!
The imperial concubine patted Ye Xuan's hand and said, "Don't worry about it. It's not your fault. Don't always say that the Second Prince is bad. That child is filial and sincere. He is better than Ah Xu."
"However, the current situation is really not something he can handle. The Ye family still has some positions and military power, but they are also restricted in facing public opinion. Whatever he does will be criticized. What if..."
If the matter is investigated, her son will be the scapegoat.
The old emperor and the son of his beloved were real father and son. Her son was nothing in his eyes.
The old emperor is useless, and she can't see the marshal. She can only ask the imperial concubine for help.
Haha, who wouldn't think so? Does her son have to be the one to take the blame just because he's so capable? Ye Fei loves her son, and so does she.
Just don't come back! Even if the empire is destroyed, he doesn't have to come back even if she goes out and dies to atone for her sins.
Before she could think of how to reply, the old emperor came in wearing a military uniform.
As soon as he saw Ye Fei sitting next to him, his brows furrowed and he became immediately annoyed.
Concubine Ye didn't expect the emperor to come back so soon. Knowing that he didn't like her, she didn't speak to him, but bowed and ran away.
"What did she say to you?" His face didn't look good.
"Nothing much, just small talk. What are your plans for this outfit?"
Even if the imperial concubine disliked him, she had to admit that he still had some good qualities. At least her son was born good-looking.
If he didn't say anything and just sat here every day to please her, she wouldn't be so annoyed by him.
There is no man in the Yuan family who is not good-looking. They also know how to take advantage of this.
If he didn't have this face to rely on these days, he wouldn't be able to live such a god-like life.
He just couldn't be a tyrant. Otherwise, this illness would continue until they both died of old age and were buried together. How wonderful it would be.
"There's a parade outside. We can't get in, but it's just in case. You should change your clothes too. We'll stay in the back."
As he spoke, Eunuch Zhong came over personally holding a set of military uniform.
Xiao Jingzhi followed closely. He just couldn't believe that anything could go wrong if he followed closely like this.
But in the eyes of the imperial concubine, the situation was indeed extremely bad.
She looked up at the man who was no longer young. She and him had been through so much, but nothing like this.
She waved her hand, and Eunuch Zhong retreated under Xiao Jingzhi's gaze. It was just the two of them left.
"Is it serious to this extent?"
Back then, the Mu family joined forces with many other families to force him to either marry the queen or die on the battlefield, but he never let her wear protective clothing once.
He might break her heart, but he would never let her bleed.
Well, it's hard to say which one is worse.
"My son ordered it. He wants to have a big game. Wear it."
Well, at this moment, even the imperial concubine lowered her head in silence, and the old emperor felt that they were a real couple. They had done the evil together, and they owed their son the debt together.
"Will he make a mistake?"
"I failed, but I'm still alive."
"You're useless."
"At least it's still useful."

For three hours, the second prince did not have the highlight of his career, and all the glory fell on Chen Jiaji, the Minister of Health and Medical Care.
This time, the entire Star Network broadcast live, with the Capital Guard providing support, the police leading the way, the First Army providing protection, and the Guard covering the rear.
This batch of 100,000 guns was finally transported safely to the capital planet.
But there are only 100,000 doses, not enough for those with severe illnesses.
Since the successful development of special-effect drugs, the issue of drug distribution has been discussed.
There's still no concrete conclusion. No one can make the final decision. Whatever the outcome, he will endure eternal infamy until the end of humanity.
