"Chen Pingping".
You should know about the Crown Prince's matter, right?
Chen Pingping lowered his head, his voice respectful:
"We have received the news."
"This must be a frame-up against His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Your Majesty, I have ordered the Censorate to investigate thoroughly and bring the person who framed the Crown Prince to justice!"
Upon hearing what Chen Pingping said, Emperor Qing suddenly laughed.
"To be able to poison the Crown Prince so secretly and without anyone noticing."
"Afterwards, they continued to spread the news extensively in Kyoto."
"Isn't the Oversight Council supposed to oversee everything? Why does it seem a bit lax in this operation?"
Upon hearing Emperor Qing's question, Chen Pingping's expression immediately turned serious, and he replied:
"His Majesty!"
"This matter concerns the dignity of the royal family."
"There are many things I dare not overstep my bounds in, but Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will definitely find the mastermind behind it all!"
Emperor Qing, seeing Chen Pingping's utterly loyal words, suddenly laughed:
"Haqun 8521 Ha!" 04278
As he was laughing, he suddenly asked:
"Chen Pingping, if I remember correctly, you are extremely skilled in using poison in the three departments under the Imperial Investigator's Office, right?"
Upon hearing Emperor Qing's words, Chen Pingping immediately frowned:
"Your Majesty, are you doubting your old minister?"
"Furthermore, this Oversight Council does not belong to this old minister, but to Your Majesty!"
Emperor Qing smiled and said:
"I have no doubts about you."
"By the way, Chen Pingping, who do you think... might be plotting to harm the Crown Prince?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Pingping bowed deeply.
"This old minister dares not make any presumptuous guesses."
Emperor Qing chuckled and said:
Is it that you dare not guess, or do you not want to guess, or... there's no need to guess?
Chen Pingping smiled and replied:
"What this old minister values more is solid evidence."
Seeing that Chen Pingping's answer was watertight, Emperor Qing did not ask any further questions and remarked with admiration:
"What solid evidence!"
Neither of them spoke again after that.
A silence fell over the hall.
For a moment, Chen Pingping suddenly said:
"By the way, Your Majesty, this old minister has some good news to share with you."
"Oh?"
Emperor Qing was slightly surprised: "Tell me!"
Chen Pingping said with a smile:
"Thanks to Qingfeng, this old minister's legs..."
At this point, Chen Pingping braced himself with both hands and slowly stood up in front of Emperor Qing.
After standing up, he added what he hadn't said before: "I can stand up now!"
When Emperor Qing saw what was happening before him, he was completely dumbfounded.
"You've gotten back on your feet?"
His voice was deep and thunderous, echoing in the empty hall.
It should be noted that when Chen Pingping was injured, he also sought out renowned doctors of the time for diagnosis and treatment.
Unfortunately, it was all in vain in the end.
What Emperor Qing didn't expect was...
Chen Pingping has miraculously recovered and is able to stand up again!
Suddenly, Emperor Qing realized something and looked at Chen Pingping with an incredulous expression, saying:
"Chen Pingping, you just said... that you were able to stand up because of Chen Qingfeng?"
"So, Chen Qingfeng healed your leg?"
Emperor Qing had also heard of Chen Qingfeng's medical skills.
Fan Ruoruo's cold constitution was cured by him.
In addition, Lin Wan'er's tuberculosis was also cured under his treatment.
That's all.
It's quite unbelievable that Chen Qingfeng could even heal Chen Pingping's broken leg.
"It was Feng'er who cured me."
"This child is smart; he learns everything well and excels at it!"
“Initially, he studied poisons and medicine under Fei Jie of the Third Bureau, and has since surpassed his master.”
When Chen Qingfeng was mentioned, Chen Pingping's eyes were full of admiration.
Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible glint of surprise flashed in Emperor Qing's eyes.
Over the years, he has also been secretly keeping an eye on his son.
However, Chen Qingfeng's performance greatly disappointed him, which led him to consider transferring Fan Xian from Danzhou to the capital.
However, what Emperor Qing did not expect was...
From the time Fan Xian went to the capital, Chen Qingfeng seemed to have become a different person.
He not only displayed a talent that surpassed that of all other scholars, but his medical skills were also unparalleled.
Now, Emperor Qing is certain that he has misjudged his son.
Chen Qingfeng is not at all the playboy described in the rumors.
He remained unmoved and resisted the princess's temptations.
All signs point to Chen Qingfeng's extraordinary abilities.
In comparison, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince seemed rather inadequate.
The Crown Prince, in particular, greatly disappointed Emperor Qing.
However, despite Chen Qingfeng's excellence, Emperor Qing dared not allow him to inherit the throne.
Putting everything else aside, the matter of Ye Qingmei alone destined Chen Qingfeng to be ineligible for the throne.
Emperor Qing wanted Chen Qingfeng more to serve as a whetstone.
After a moment's thought, Emperor Qing snapped out of his reverie, smiled at Chen Pingping, and said:
"I am very pleased that you can stand up again. Congratulations!"
Chen Pingping smiled slightly and replied:
"This old minister is also very pleased."
“If I can stand up, this old minister will be able to do more for Your Majesty in the future and share more of Your Majesty’s worries.”
Emperor Qing smiled and said:
"Speaking of which, your leg injury is related to Sean, who's being held in the Examiner's Office."
"If it weren't for capturing this person back then, you wouldn't have been sitting in this wheelchair for so many years."
"Since you wish to share my burdens."
"Then I shall ask you this: when it comes to sending an envoy to Northern Qi soon, should we choose Chen Qingfeng or Fan Xian?"
Not long ago, a delegation from the Northern Qi Dynasty came to the capital to negotiate with the Southern Qing Dynasty at the Honglu Temple.
The negotiations have now concluded with a final result.
One of the agreements reached was that the Southern Qing side would release Xiao En, who was imprisoned, in exchange for Yan Bingyun, the Southern Qing spy in Northern Qi.
The task of escorting Xiao En back to Northern Qi naturally required someone to take on the responsibility.
"Ok?"
Upon hearing Emperor Qing's probing of him, Chen Pingping frowned and his eyes narrowed.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Pingping replied:
"It is Your Majesty's decision to send someone to escort Xiao En back to Northern Qi."
Seeing that Chen Pingping was unwilling to talk about it, Emperor Qing did not press him further.
If Chen Qingfeng hadn't suddenly appeared out of nowhere, this task would have naturally fallen to Fan Xian.
According to Emperor Qing's original plan, once Fan Xian returned from his mission to Northern Qi, he would arrange for him to marry Lin Wan'er.
But now, he has agreed to Fan Xian's request to annul the engagement and has even betrothed Lin Wan'er and Fan Ruoruo to Chen Qingfeng.
However, Emperor Qing was also uneasy about sending Chen Qingfeng as an envoy to Northern Qi.
Honestly, Chen Qingfeng's various behaviors made him feel like he couldn't control him.
