Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 636, Chapter 637: Current Situation
"Then what do you think of this account book, Your Highness?" The steward was truly exhausted. The princess and her two concubines in the manor had illustrious backgrounds and brought a large dowry with them when they entered. If Your Highness could just say a few nice words, wouldn't they be able to continue living like this?
Now that Lady Liu has been completely exploited and hasn't received a single good thing from him, such a cold-hearted person, those who follow him will probably not have a good ending either.

But damn the Imperial Household Department, he's been to them countless times over the years, why can't they transfer him to a different post?

He figured it out: Prince Ning's life would be just like that, at most he'd be a leisurely prince, but he was unwilling to accept it and insisted on making trouble. He was afraid the new emperor wouldn't tolerate him. He had no self-awareness and didn't care about his family at all.

In fact, the prince's salary was enough to support a princely mansion, but he insisted on spending the money to squander it and fantasize about things that were impossible to obtain. I really don't know how to evaluate that.

Now he doesn't dare to call himself the steward of the Prince Ning's mansion when he goes out, for fear of attracting ridicule and all sorts of inquiries.

The Emperor has now bestowed titles upon so many princes, yet none are as poor as the Ning Prince's Mansion.

In fact, these servants had long wanted to persuade Rong Ruiyuan that he should have accepted his fate, but there was nothing they could do. They were just slaves, and none of them wanted to risk their lives to face the wrath of Rong Ruiyuan.

"Just leave it," Rong Ruiyuan said with a grim expression. He was getting irritated just looking at the cards and the ledger, which meant that his problem had returned.

But it's impossible for him to bow down to those women. Over the years, their families have not only failed to help him in the slightest, but have also occasionally held him back. He is just enduring it now.

The steward quietly slipped out; they were just servants, they had that much sense.

Sure enough, as soon as the door was closed, a series of smashing and breaking sounds came from the doorway.

Taking a deep breath, I silently counted in my mind how many utensils were lost, wondering if they could be pieced back together from the storeroom. Being a steward is really too difficult.

After venting his anger, Rong Ruiyuan sat down on a stool, panting heavily, and said, "They're all bastards."

They were both princes, so why did his life become increasingly miserable?
My father used to be supporting me, so when did he switch his focus to someone else?

Was it because the younger brothers were growing up, or because their mother had fallen out of favor in the palace?
But why is this happening? He believes he's worked hard enough, so why is everyone laughing at him?

Rong Ruiyuan was extremely frustrated and locked himself in his study, getting completely drunk.

He is currently in the court but has no connections there, so naturally he is unaware of the undercurrents raging beneath the surface.

That night, many residences kept their oil lamps lit until dawn. They naturally had their own channels of communication. As for why no news came out from the Imperial Study, that was a big problem.

In the palace, the emperor was already very old. After reviewing the last memorial, he had to be supported by several eunuchs before he could lean back on the soft couch.

"Is there any news from outside the palace today?"

The chief eunuch stepped forward and reported to the Emperor that no new information had been received yet.

"But there are fewer memorials today than in the past." Having reviewed memorials for decades, how could the emperor not know? Even if there were differences in quantity, it couldn't be this much.

"Perhaps it is because you gentlemen are considerate of His Majesty..."

The emperor raised his hand and waved it away. He didn't want to hear those official platitudes; he'd heard them his whole life.

He had dealt with those ministers for decades, during which he had demoted and executed countless officials, but his lust for power was simply insatiable.

He had long sensed that something was wrong in the court, but now his physical strength was failing him, and he could feel that the court was slowly slipping out of his control.

This feeling of helplessness is terrible.

And then there were his sons, all of them in their prime, each eyeing the throne covetously. He knew that sooner or later one of his sons would inherit the throne, but he was still unwilling to accept it.

"Summon Imperial Physician Liu."

"As you command." The chief eunuch lowered his head, his face full of worry. If anyone was most reluctant to see the court change its masters, it would probably be these eunuchs.

A new emperor, a new court; not to mention these eunuchs, their fate will likely be even more tragic. He served His Majesty for over a decade, but seeing His Majesty's current state, he made no attempt to secure a future for them; their end is predictable.

The imperial physician arrived very promptly; in fact, he had been waiting outside the palace the whole time.

"Why isn't it Physician Liu today?" The emperor glanced around and, noticing the unfamiliar face, felt a surge of anger. Had they already begun to outwardly comply while inwardly defying him?
"Your Majesty, Physician Liu caught a cold yesterday and I'm afraid he might pass on his illness to you." Physician Xu, who was on duty today, stood there trembling. His Majesty was becoming increasingly capricious, and only Physician Liu, the head of the Imperial Physician's office, was valued by him. Who knew that he would be so unlucky today and be chosen to take up this post.

"So he can get sick too. I thought he was in very good health." After saying this, the emperor laughed to himself. He was getting more and more senile as he got older. How could anyone not get sick?
"Please take my pulse. I feel even weaker today," the emperor said, extending his hand. Physician Xu immediately and carefully placed his hand on the emperor's.

"How is it?" Seeing that he hadn't responded for a long time, the emperor couldn't help but urge him. He knew his own body was nearing its end. Previously, Physician Liu had been helping him with his treatment, and taking his medicine had provided some relief and restored some vitality to his body, but today it had relapsed.

"Your Majesty, have you not yet taken your medicine today?"

The chief eunuch stepped forward and said, "His Majesty has been diligently attending to state affairs and has not yet eaten."

"Your Majesty must take care of your health," this was alarming, and Imperial Physician Xu knelt before the bed in fright, "Does Your Majesty have any symptoms of dizziness or weakness?"

The emperor nodded, noticing that the imperial physician was bowing to the ground, not looking at him. "That is indeed the case."

"Your Majesty, you must eat, otherwise your yang energy will be severely depleted and you will collapse..."

"I have no appetite..." The emperor has eaten all kinds of delicacies, and the palace has no shortage of them, but he just has no desire to eat.

Upon hearing that the problem stemmed from a lack of food, the head eunuch hurriedly went out and returned shortly after, directing palace servants to bring in a table of food. "Your Majesty, is there anything you would like to eat?"

The emperor glanced at the list, selected a few easily digestible dishes, and asked, "Will these symptoms disappear after eating them?"

Physician Xu said, "It will alleviate the symptoms somewhat. Your Majesty should continue to take the medicine prescribed by Physician Liu."

Anyway, the more you do, the more mistakes you make, so this is probably the safest approach.

We hope that Doctor Liu will recover his health tomorrow.

The emperor ate a little and was about to have the food removed when he saw the eager look in the head eunuch's eyes. He then drank a few more sips of soup and said, "Alright, that's enough. You may all leave. I need to rest."

Only after everyone had left did the emperor close his eyes.

The new book is out! If you're interested, you can add it to your favorites. I guarantee you'll have plenty of time to read it.

The Prince, Who Had No Heir, Was Frenzied in His Love, and His Lazy Princess Had Her Third Child.

Xie Huaixi, who suffers from congenital heart disease, transmigrated into a book.

She transmigrated into a cannon fodder female supporting character in a sweet ancient romance novel, and was also a sickly person.

In the book, the original owner of the body marries the cannon fodder male supporting character—the childless prince Xiao Jingtian.

Xiao Jingtian's heart is only for the female lead, Xu Yushu, and for the sake of his good sworn sister.

The original owner couldn't win Xiao Jingtian's favor, so she acted up in various ways, and was eventually abandoned by Xiao Jingtian in a rural village where she died of illness.

Xie Huaixi said that the original owner cared too much about relationships. Wasn't it annoying to keep falling in love? She was a professional at being a couch potato!
So she chose to live in the courtyard furthest from the prince, and fenced off a piece of land. She spent her days indulging in farming, cooking, and raising pets, living a blissful life. But how did she end up with her third child?
*
Prince Xiao Jingtian, whose heart belongs only to his sworn sister Xu Yushu, is forced to marry Xie Huaixi, the legitimate daughter of the Xie family. The day after their wedding, Xiao Jingtian proposes that the two be a couple in name only.

He suffered from a hidden illness and had someone else in his heart, so he was unwilling to get close to the princess. Unexpectedly, the princess suggested they live separately. At first, Xiao Jingtian thought this was a good idea. But he gradually discovered that his princess seemed to be a rather remarkable person?

—Rumors have been circulating in the capital lately. The Prince of Li, who has no heir, is expecting his third child! And his unloved princess is now the apple of his eye!
Even the king who was obsessed with the battlefield has started to relax and has taken a leisurely job at home to accompany his queen and children!
