Chapter 161 Quarrel
The pearl curtain of Chengqian Palace was rustling as it swung.

When the emperor and Yuande hurried over, what they saw was such an immoral scene.

Nan Zhiyu's slender wrist was grabbed, and the part of her arm that slipped down from her sleeve was covered with mottled marks, like a crabapple flower ravaged by the wind, fragile and broken.

The corners of her eyes were slightly red, her face was an abnormal rouge red, and her lips were pale and bloodless.

The prince sitting next to her was holding her wrist, not letting her move, and muttered, "My dear, if you move again, I will tie you to the bed with a rope."

When Wei Qingye heard the noise, he frowned and turned around, and his eyes met the emperor's. He was stunned.

Nan Zhiyu's eyes were misty, and she leaned on Wei Qingye's shoulder and murmured, "Your Highness is so fierce, Zhizhi is uncomfortable~"

Wei Qingye lowered his eyes and looked down at her, his eyebrows slightly raised, "Nonsense, I have used up all my patience in this life on you, and you are still blaming me here, you have no conscience!"

Looking up, Wei Qingye saw two people standing next to the screen.

The two people who came in one after the other happened to be his father, the emperor, followed by Eunuch Yuande.

They saw the sickly little girl lying on the bed, their faces filled with shock. They turned to cast a complex look of accusation and anger at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Aren't you taking the girl to the temple to burn incense?" The emperor walked away speechlessly.

Eunuch Yuande covered his face with his sleeves and said, "The Emperor is waiting for you outside~"

Nan Zhiyu had a fever and was in a daze, feeling very uncomfortable.

Wei Qingye put her into the bed, covered her with the quilt, turned around and walked outside.

"Father, did you call me out? Is there something important you want to say?"

The emperor glanced at him with a look of regret, "Tell me what you were thinking, taking a little girl out to burn incense, and coming back to be so sick?"

The emperor raised his hand and patted his chest. "If the Shen family and his son knew about this, they would probably rush into the East Palace with knives in hand to snatch the person away..."

His Royal Highness, who had been standing obediently by the side without rebutting, suddenly raised his head and said, "People are alone, and no one can take them away."

The emperor raised his eyebrows in surprise and gave a look to Yuan De who was standing beside him. Yuan De bowed and said, "Your Highness, this is wrong. Even the emperor cannot stop Master Yue from reuniting with his father and brother.

This goes against moral principles and will be condemned by scholars all over the world."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew about this, but he had no way to stop it, so he delayed telling Nan Zhiyu about the news that the Shen father and son had returned to the capital.

Because he couldn't guarantee that Zhizhi had no intention of leaving the palace.

The emperor suddenly thought of something and slapped his thigh with one hand in excitement, "You little brat, are you planning to not let her go to the banquet tonight?"

So that's why they took the person out and made him sick?!
The prince stared at his father with his dark eyes, "How is this possible? Even if I don't want them to meet, I won't use this method.

Father, are you insulting your son or yourself?"

The emperor glared at Wei Qingye with his eyebrows tilted, looking extremely majestic, his eyes that were weathered by the years glaring at him, "If you have the guts to show the same attitude towards me, go and try it with Shen Hui and his son..."

"Keep your voice down, Zhizhi is still feeling uncomfortable in there!" Wei Qingye interrupted the emperor and turned to look outside the door, "Why hasn't Chai Hui brought the person back yet? Did he become lame on the way?"

Chai Hui and Doctor Bai ran out of breath and finally arrived at the gate of Chengqian Palace.

Doctor Bai took only two steps inside, then bent his legs and knelt on the ground.

Chai Hui took a few more breaths, and seeing Doctor Bai's behavior, he teased, "Doctor Bai's old bones are not very good~" Chai Hui smiled awkwardly, and knelt on the ground quickly, "Your servant kowtows to the emperor."

Doctor Bai gave him a look that seemed to say: Eunuch Xiao Chai, your bones are fine, don't kneel!
Chai Hui rolled his eyes at him with a forced smile.

The emperor saw that the prince's face was getting worse and worse, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, the most important thing is to go see a doctor."

Nan Zhiyu was lying on the couch, with the quilt covering her jaw and collarbone, leaving only a section of her slender white wrist exposed. She obediently let someone feel her pulse.

After a while, Doctor Bai was writing a prescription in the outer hall with a complicated tone and ordered people to boil the medicine.

The emperor sat aside and deliberately asked, "Doctor Bai, how is the little girl?"

The imperial physician coughed twice and spoke haltingly.

Yuan De and Chai Hui looked at the Crown Prince secretly in amazement. They didn't know what ability Yue Liangyuan had to make the cold and restrained Crown Prince lose control like this and suffer from a cold and high fever.

The emperor felt that he was about to lose face. He pointed at the Crown Prince, sighed, and said calmly, "I heard that you haven't set foot in the harem these days. Do you know what kind of storm that girl will be in if you do this?"

The prince's fists were clenched tightly, veins popping out, and he sneered, "I can protect her and prevent her from getting hurt."

The emperor smiled and threw the teacup at him. "Wei Qingye, as the crown prince of Southern Qin and the lord of the Eastern Palace, you said something so naive and ridiculous. It's beyond my expectation."

Wei Qingye let the tea bowl hit him, but when it was about to fall to the ground, he caught it with his soap boots, and the tea bowl rolled down and sank into the carpet without making any sound.

"Do you want me to let my mother suffer all kinds of grievances and die in depression, just like you did back then?
Is that what you, as a husband, call protecting your wife?"

Wei Qingye's suppressed emotions finally burst out at this moment.

Those phoenix eyes were filled with blood and grievance, madness and anger were constantly pulling at his reason.

"How outrageous you are--" the emperor shouted angrily, his chest heaving up and down in anger.

"What position do you hold when you say this outrageous thing? Are you rebuking your son as a father, or rebuking your subject as a king?"

Wei Qingye was not frightened by the scolding. Instead, he responded sharply with every word he said.

The emperor took two steps towards him and looked him in the eye. "Are you blaming me?"

Wei Qingye looked at him with cold eyes and said, "Yes, I blame you for making my mother cry and feel sad, and I also hate that the power in my hands is not strong enough to protect the people I really want to protect.

Therefore, I will definitely not follow your old path this time, and I will definitely not let Zhizhi end up like my mother."

The emperor looked at the child in front of him who was almost as tall as him, his eyes became redder and redder. He touched the phoenix eyes with trembling hands, "These eyes are the most different from your mother's, but also the most similar.

But when those eyes look at me, they are always filled with tenderness, not resentment."

Wei Qingye took a step back, avoiding the emperor's touch, "We are still arguing."

Tangtang babble: The conflict between the prince and the emperor has actually always been latent and has never erupted because there has been no fuse.

Then they encountered Zhizhi's problem and started arguing.

Don’t think that the emperor doesn’t like the crown prince or anything like that. They both have each other in their hearts, so there are only two poor people left, the queen has passed away (﹏)
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants the position of Emperor, he can just tell the Emperor in the morning, have his memorial approved in the afternoon, and be allowed to ascend the throne in the evening.
