Emperor Rules Family while I Rule the Country

Zhao Deng blushed, "Don't blindly meddle in a man's business."

"Don't be like this. I'm half a man, so I'll say this again. I'm still your senior sister. Can't senior sister care about you?"

Zhao Deng scoffed, and simply stopped watching. "How about this, Dr Zhu will follow me back to the Duke Palaces first, and I'll send the person back tomorrow morning." He then turned to Zhou Leping and asked, "General Zhou, do you have any objections?"

"Since Your Highness has already spoken, how could I dare to object? I will naturally listen to you."

During the meal, Zhao Deng told her about Lin Jing bribing people everywhere, telling her to be more careful. Even if she didn't want to say it, she would still spend money on it.

Ever since she returned to the capital, she had never lacked people who would try to get close to her. However, she was too lazy to deal with them.

Firstly, she wasn't good at interacting with these people, and secondly, it was difficult to differentiate between friend and foe. Secondly, she wasn't good at interacting with these people, and secondly, it was difficult to differentiate between friend and foe.

"He is bribing people everywhere because he is guilty, and I am not guilty."

"You've returned for so long, I thought you should be clear about it. Royal Brother is deliberately leaning towards you, but if the ministers were to side with you, you wouldn't be able to do anything even if you wanted to."

Her hand paused for a moment before she helplessly said, "I understand."

Maintaining the friendship between colleagues was not that easy either. You had to flatter them, and Zhou Leping could not learn these things.

For example, today, I met with Tutor Zhang. Tutor Zhang was a teacher under the crown prince of the emperor, so when he spoke, his words were gentle, and when he opened his mouth, it was like he was speaking the truth. The tone of a lecturer made Zhou Leping want to fall asleep.

"General? "General?"

Zhou Leping woke up from his stupor, wiped the corner of his mouth, and clapped, "Master Zhang is right, you are right, this general has learnt his lesson."

Tutor Zhang was so angry that his two whiskers curled up as he snorted heavily. With a flick of his sleeve, he left without even turning his head back.

These civil officials were so full of nonsense that they couldn't say anything for a long time. If it was a military general, they wouldn't have to speak so much, right?

But she was wrong again. Either one of them was unwilling to accept her defeat, or they were about to fight her first. They were still unwilling to accept that she had beat them to the ground and claimed that they would fight another day.

The other type of person who worshipped her was someone who would spar with her even if she came up. After an entire morning, if she wasn't nagging, she would be on the verge of death.

It wasn't easy for her to rest, and she finally felt at peace. Qi Miao came back to ask again, saying that someone was causing trouble, asking her how to deal with it.

"Do you want me to teach you such a stupid thing? "If you dare to come and mess with laozi in my territory, then I'll throw you back!"

Qi Miao was annoyed, "But Your Highness said that the guests are guests, and if you want your business to flourish, you have to treat your guests like gods."

"You are usually quite quick-witted, why are you so muddled at critical moments? You're already here to cause trouble, how can you still be a customer? "They're here to find trouble, but don't go too far and teach them a lesson."

Qi Miao replied and left. On the way out, he met Zhu Guanliang and they greeted each other, and when Zhou Leping saw him, his eyes lit up as he waved for him to come over, "Have you treated the Duke? What's wrong with you, your highness? "

"The general cares a lot about the prince's health?"

"Of course, quickly tell me, what happened exactly?"

"Resting your breath is difficult."

"What?"

Zhao Deng was in great health, and there was nothing wrong with him at all. However, ever since he married the princess and entered the house on the sixteenth year, many wives and concubines had come and gone. It had been more than four years, and there was actually not a single child left behind.

If it was only a single woman that he could not bear, then it would be because of that single woman. However, if he could not even bear a single one, then it could only be because of himself.

Previously, he didn't think this matter was that serious, nor did he think about it. Since it wasn't that serious, then it was fine. After all, he didn't really want children.

But after he had Qian Qian, for the first time, the Prince Rui had the thought of asking her for a child.

After Zhu Guanliang treated him, she said that he had suffered from some sort of shock, or a sudden change in situation, and it was caused by his meridians being blocked by an external poison which caused his Qi and blood to stagnate, which was also called yin deficiency.

"However, the innate reason is not excluded."

Zhou Leping immediately thought of Tong Yun. That time, Zhao Deng was so scared that he ran away with his pants in the middle of the night.

"..."

"What do you mean by innate?"

"Even if they were born like this, they would still be called a weak-minded person."

Zhou Leping thought of Zhao Shiqian again. He said that since the enthronement of the emperor, four years had passed, and there had been nothing that came out of it in the past four years. Zhao Shiqian shouldn't be this shocked, right?

She didn't dare to think any further. If that was the case, then Le An's only hope for entering the palace would be the Emperor. If one day he wasn't here and the palace was lonely, wouldn't it be difficult for her to endure by herself?

Moreover, if the Emperor was sick like this and some people knew about it, they would surely use this as an excuse to rebel.

Her heart was in a panic, but suddenly she couldn't sit still anymore. She got Chang Feng to prepare the carriage, she wanted to make a trip to the palace.

Before leaving, she couldn't help but ask Zhu Guanliang, "Are you confident that you can cure Prince Rui?"

"I can only try my best, but I can't guarantee the result right now."

"You must cure Prince Rui, you are a genius doctor, this general believes in you!"

Believe? Her belief then was cheap enough, at times doubting and at times believing, at times doing as she pleased.

Zhao Shiqian and Zhao Deng were siblings born from the same father. If Zhao Deng had this disease, then the emperor, who had similarly not left any descendants after so many years, must have this disease as well.

Zhou Leping was not foolish enough to directly ask the emperor about this matter. She had gone to find Zhou Lean, and seeing that Zhou Lean had arrived, she did not know how to start the conversation.

She was now a noble and dressed elegantly, but her smile was still the same as when she was young. "I thought my elder sister hated me and wouldn't be willing to come to the palace to see me anymore."

"How could I possibly hate you? I was just angry at you for that moment. You are my younger sister, so of course I would come and see you."

"Is big brother alright? Is he still mad at me? Last time, when I contradicted him, I didn't even have the time to apologize before … "

Zhou Leping consoled her, "It's not like you don't know what kind of character big brother has, how can he be angry at you.

"That's good." Zhou Lean poured a cup of tea and passed it to her, "Then, why did that young mistress come to the palace today?
