ar. I can rest easy knowing you're safe and wait for your good news back at the barracks.""My elder brother just needs to stay in the camp and let Empress Cen feel the discontent of the Xia Dynasty to...Duke Gucheng returned to the palace and went straight to Weiyang Palace. Li Wuyan was accompanying Emperor Yuandao, when he saw Duke Gucheng arrive, he greeted him, "Prince Regent."

"I have seen Your Majesty."

Du Gu Cheng paid his respects to Emperor Yuan Zhao, stepping forward and inquiring with concern, "Your Majesty, how are you feeling today"

Emperor Yuan Zhao moved his body and felt much more comfortable.

"Doctor Li's medical skills are superb, I feel much better. I was persuading him to join the Imperial Medical Bureau and manage it for me. The Prince Regent arrived and helped persuade him."

Dugu City looked at Li Wuyan, his face full of refusal. Dugu City knew that Li Wuyan had no intention of entering the court as an official at all.

"Ayan, you might want to consider it."

Li Wuyan raised his head and met Du Gucheng's suggestive gaze, but still refused.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness. The Regent should also know that I have no intention of entering the court as an official. I hope Your Majesty will reconsider."

"Your Majesty, since he is unwilling, perhaps Your Majesty should withdraw your offer and not force him."

Emperor Yuan Zhao sighed, "I just feel so sorry. Doctor Li's skills are far superior to those of the imperial physicians at the Imperial Medical Bureau. I don't even know how they got in."

The doctors at the Imperial Medical Bureau aren't incompetent; they've been ordered to only cure the Emperor if someone doesn't want him to get better. Wouldn't it be the same if the Emperor commanded them otherwise

獨孤城 doesn't think their medical skills are bad, he just thinks they are restricted and can't fully display their abilities. How could they possibly cure him

"Your Majesty, in fact, the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital are not inferior to commoners' medical skills. They just have some restrictions. If Your Majesty allows them to treat with all their might, their medical skills will be even more superb than those of commoners."

Li Wuyan truthfully said, bowing respectfully towards Emperor Yuan Zhao before going to the side to organize his medicine box.

"Your Majesty, Prince Yu has been sent out of the city. I have ordered the Imperial Guard to escort him personally back to Liangzhou."

Du Gucheng reported, Yuan Zhao Emperor just nodded, "These matters are handled by the Prince Regent. Right now, I only want to recuperate."

"Your Majesty, when you have recovered your health, I implore you to revoke this decree. Please take back the Tiger Talisman of Command and the title of Regent. Your humble servant..."

Before Dugu City could finish his words, Emperor Yuan Zhao stopped him.

“I entrust the military talisman to you, and I feel at ease. You have seen my current state as well. When I issued this decree, I pondered for a long time. I know you blame me for taking away your military power back then and imprisoning you. Over these years, I have seen clearly, just as my father said, you are the most outstanding among all my sons, yet the one least willing to inherit the throne. I trust you.”

A wave of emotions stirred within Dugu City's heart at the emperor's words. Gazing into Yuan Zhaodi's unwavering gaze, he knelt and said, "Your servant thanks Your Majesty."

"Rise, you are now the Regent King. I am second to none, and I expect you to safeguard the Great Yuan Dynasty's territory for me. You must not allow my father's legacy to be ruined under your watch."

Du Gu Cheng responded, and Emperor Yuan Zhao waved his hand. "I'm tired and need to rest. As for the affairs of this court, Wang Su should take care of them."

"I obey your command."

Dugu City had never left Youyang Palace, and Li Wuyan also came out with him.

"Ayan, this king has something he wants to talk to you about."

"Your Majesty, the Regent requests an audience."

Li Wuyan's attitude towards Dugu Cheng in the palace had also changed, becoming overly respectful. This made Dugu Cheng very uncomfortable, especially after Yu Wang spoke to him. Now, every time he saw Li Wuyan, all Dugu Cheng could think about was what Yu Wang had said.

"The Regent finding me wouldn't be to have me enter the Imperial Hospital, would he"

Li Wuyan spoke first, looking at Dugu Cheng's hesitant expression, "I agreed to treat the Emperor out of respect for the late emperor, but I won't agree to join the Imperial Hospital. Your Highness needn't persuade me."

"Not this."

Dugu City interrupted Li Wuya's speculation.

Today, this king sent Lord Yu out of the city. He said some things to this king, and this king is a little confused and wants to ask you for verification.

"Where do we say that"

Li Wuyan glanced around. This was the imperial palace, even though he was now the regent king, he couldn't be so blatant. What if someone heard this and told the emperor Wouldn't he be afraid

"

Get out of here.

"

Dugu Cheng opened his mouth, and the maidservants and eunuchs following him all retreated, with no one around.

Li Wuyan had to admit, becoming the Regent King came with power and status. Even his way of speaking was different from before.

"The Duke of Honor told me that I wasn't the Empress Dowager's biological child. I want you to go and investigate for me."

"What do you want me to do"

Li Wuyan was slightly surprised, but he didn't press further.

"This, however you say it, Your Majesty is letting you go to see the Empress Dowager. You can make up an excuse, she knows your identity."

Li Wuyan raised his head and looked at Dugu City, "Did you tell the Empress Dowager my identity"

She already knew it.

Du Gucheng didn't say, when he was looking into Du Gu Feng's information, the Empress Dowager might have known at that time. And knowing that he wasn't her biological son, how could she not find out about Li Wu Yan's identity

"Okay."

Li Wuyan looked at Dugu Cheng, "However, you also have to promise me one thing, don't force me to do things I don't want to do."

"Good."

Li Wuyan nodded toward Dugu Cheng and went to Ci'an Palace. Dugu Cheng looked at Li Wuyan's eyes, which became complicated. If he was really his brother, what a joke the old heavens had played on him.

He always thought that his biological mother was his grandmother, but in the end it turned out not to be so.

After finishing his business in the palace, Dugu Cheng came out. He waited for Li Wu Yan at the palace gate. Seeing Dugu Cheng waiting for him, Li Wu Yan walked forward, his eyes filled with a hint of bitterness.

"The Empress Dowager didn't give you a hard time, did she"

Li Wuyan shook his head, sitting beside Dugu City, "Should we go back and talk, or talk now"

“Sure.”

"I haven't eaten anything yet, let's talk at home. I want to take a nap."

Li Wuyan closed his eyes, and Dugu City didn't disturb him. He brought him back to the Prince's Mansion and didn't go to Lu's residence. He asked the steward to prepare dinner and informed Feng Lingxi that he would be staying in the Prince's Mansion tonight.

"This Duke of Solitude, now that he's regent, is so busy he doesn't have time for me anymore."

Feng Lingxi, hearing Dugu City's message, grumbled in dissatisfaction. Lu Nian wasn't around either. She was truly bored staying at the manor and wanted to go out, but she didn't know where to go. The places she wanted to visit were all inaccessible.

After much deliberation, Feng Lingxi still went out. She told the housekeeper and headed to Chen Wangfu. Anyway, everyone was saying they were back together now. It wasn't a big deal for her to go to Chen Wangfu to find Dugu City, especially since Li Wuyan should be there with him.

She still needs to find some time to ask Li Wuyan about Luo Li and Xiao Li.

The Empress Dowager admitted that you weren't her biological child. Back then, Consort Xian swapped you with the Crown Prince...

Li Wuyan bit his lip, struggling for a long time before saying, "You are not the empress dowager's biological son, but the eldest son of Xianfei."

"Are you also my elder brother, right"

Li Wuyan's movements froze, looking at Dugu City's determined eyes, Li Wuyan's mood was irritable.ver"Dugu Yu coldly looked at the maidservant at the door, "Why wasn't a brazier fire sent to the Fourth Princess""This servant did not know that the Fourth Princess was so frail. The household has not...
