253 What Troubled Him

With that, the emperor explained Yuan Hui’s request. “Let me tell you, he gave us so much dowry. We have to prepare the corresponding betrothal money!”

“Then why don’t we just prepare it?” The crown prince looked at the emperor in confusion.

In any case, didn’t all of Ning Yue’s dowry have to enter the national treasury in the end? It was no loss to them.

The emperor could tell what the crown prince was thinking and asked directly, “Do you think we won’t lose anything by paying this betrothal gift?”

“That’s right. Will we lose anything?” The crown prince looked at the emperor in confusion. Was there something he didn’t understand?

“You wish. Do you know what Yuan Hui said? He plans to give the dowry to Ning Yue!” the emperor said.

Then, the emperor told the crown prince Yuan Hui’s exact words. The crown prince was dumbfounded.

What a joke. The money in the treasury could not withstand these waves.

“Father, Father, what did you say? Otherwise, why would Yuan Hui say that he would give all the dowry to Ning Yue?” the crown prince asked.

“Why are you so sure that I said something? Don’t you think Yuan Hui is crazy?” The emperor said something critical, making the crown prince’s expression turn ugly.

“It’s fine if Father says this here, but you can’t mention it in front of Yuan Hui. Otherwise, with his personality, he might cause trouble again,” the Crown Prince said.

“I understand. Can you stop annoying me?! They’ll come over today. If you have any questions, ask them yourself. I didn’t say anything. Also, the betrothal gift must be taken away by Ning Yue. Don’t think of taking it back.”

With that, the emperor flicked his sleeves and left, leaving the crown prince standing there in a daze.

Wasn’t it only the emperor who could ask for the betrothal gift back? How could he do that?

The two of them were unhappy when they thought of these things. Until Yuan Hui, Ning Yue, and Jiang Ying arrived, their expressions did not soften.

“Greetings, Emperor and Crown Prince.” Ning Yue bowed.

“Uncle Emperor and Brother Crown Prince,” Jiang Ying greeted.

“Emperor of Great Yun, we meet again.” Yuan Hui smiled at the emperor.

He had slept well last night. The emperor must have slept the worst.

“Yes, we meet again.” The emperor gritted his teeth as he spoke to Yuan Hui.

Thinking of what had happened last night, the emperor felt that he had nowhere to vent the anger in his heart. He was too aggrieved.

“The young couple came over to treat the emperor. Let them take a look at you first,” Yuan Hui said.

The emperor wanted to say that he was in good health, but he was about to explode from anger.

However, Yuan Hui was from Russia. How could he let Yuan Hui treat him as a joke?

Wait…

Speaking of the people of Russia, Ning Yue was Yuan Hui’s niece. She would definitely laugh at him.

He was so conflicted. Should he let Ning Yue take a look at his body?

“Why didn’t Doctor Gu come?” the emperor asked.

Ning Yue smiled and replied to the emperor, “My master returned to the Miracle Doctor Valley and didn’t have time to come over, so he asked me to take a look at the emperor.”

“Emperor, please extend your hand.” As she spoke, Ning Yue extended her hands respectfully, indicating for the emperor to place his hand on the table.

The emperor’s expression darkened. Gu Yu was not around, so he could only let Ning Yue take a look.

The imperial physicians in the palace were not as good as Ning Yue.

“Take a look.” The emperor placed his hand on the table.

Ning Yue took a handkerchief and stepped forward to cover the emperor’s wrist, then gently placed her fingers on it.

After careful treatment, Ning Yue realized that the emperor’s body had recovered quite well, but his body was vaguely stressed.

“The emperor has to drink more hot things. Don’t worry so much about the state affairs. Isn’t the crown prince around now? Just let the crown prince do the work.”

Ning Yue said this casually, but it made the emperor complain crazily in his heart.

Look, was this what a doctor should say? As the emperor, he should be the one worrying about this country. Why did Ning Yue say that the crown prince should worry? Was she with the crown prince?

Sensing that something was wrong with the emperor’s mood and Ning Yue reacted.

She was not in the modern era, but in ancient times. In that case, she would lose her head if she was not careful.

Ning Yue was anxious, but she did not show it on her face. “My master has instructed me to tell the emperor to rest well and not worry so much.”
