But he did not know whether or not Old Man Ji should pay attention to him. After all, in the past, when Old Man Ji went to the Palace, he was still a little brat, and according to Old Man Ji's bad temper, it was normal for him not to hear of the old narration. The His Majesty even prepared two other posts in preparation for the three of them to be sent back, but His Majesty had no choice but to go to the door and personally invite him.

However, the His Majesty did not expect that after only using the second letter, Old Man Ji would agree to enter the palace. The His Majesty was overjoyed, and was simply overwhelmed by it, as if he had recorded a great achievement on his road to the throne, after all, his father died that year without even being able to see Old Man Ji once, and he actually invited someone over with just two letters.

Even Gu Yun did not expect the Old Man Ji to cooperate like this, and thought that it would be difficult for the His Majesty.

Thus, he muttered a pity to his daughter-in-law, "I was hoping to see the Three Great Guests in the His Majesty. Why did the old man change his personality?"

"Why do I feel like you're taking pleasure in my misfortune?"

"It can't be considered to be gloating. It's just that I can't see His Majesty at ease."

Who told the His Majesty to order him around all day?

Xie Jingxi did not listen to his nonsense. The matter of Old Man Ji entering the palace had always been on her mind, and she always felt that something was amiss.

"I'm wondering, is it difficult to treat His Majesty's and Second Prince's illness? You knew about this a long time ago?"

When Gu Yun saw that his wife did not even look at him properly, she could not help but laugh, "My family's Xi is so intelligent, how could I tell you everything, I originally wanted you to take care of your baby properly, you did not rest for a moment, I heard everything from the King Jin, but there are some things that even he does not know, and it was all from what I heard from the old man a while ago, he cannot cure this disease."

Xie Jingxi frowned, it was no wonder that the His Majesty did everything possible to hide his identity, that the disease could not be cured, and could even be inherited. This also meant that the sickly prince had naturally lost his right to inherit the throne, but the His Majesty had steadily assumed the throne for so many years, and was still hoping to cure the Second Prince so that he could get on top of it.

No wonder King Jin was so upset.

Back then, the possibility of Old Man Ji being able to treat the previous Emperor was not high, and if the treatment failed, it was secondary. What Xie Jingxi was worried about was, once the His Majesty knew that there was no cure, those who knew would be silenced.

Xie Jingxi was shocked, "Xuanchen, would it be too late to send grandfather away, I feel that it would be better not to let him off, what if His Majesty does …"

Gu Yun held her somewhat cold hands, "Have you forgotten what you told me back then? There are some things that can't be avoided even if you wanted to, the old man has hid for a lifetime, and in the end, he has to end it. It's fine if he can be kind, but if he can't …" Gu Yun paused for a moment, a tinge of darkness flashed past his eyes, "Then we can only try it by force."

Xie Jingxi's heart sank, and she instantly felt a chill down her spine.

Old Man Ji was secretly brought into the palace, so because he was sick, he didn't want everyone to know about it. However, Old Man Ji still received the proper treatment and carried the palanquin all the way to the entrance of the palace.

"Mr. Jil, how have you been? I am very pleased."

Old Man Ji raised his eyelids, "His Majesty is courteous."

Just like his father, both of them had a harsh and short-lived appearance. It was not because they were born like this. People who had been sitting on the throne for too long all had this sort of appearance.

Old Man Ji's straight face still looked quite decent, as if he was a different person from the countryside old man who was holding his pants up while stepping on mud. He gave birth to an unfathomable temperament that belonged to a peerless genius doctor.

The His Majesty became more respectful.

"I didn't know that the Mr. Jil was in the capital, we should have gone to visit him earlier. Before he passed away, the late emperor even said that if we were lucky enough to meet the Mr. Jil again in the future, we should treat him with respect and thank him for saving our lives."

"It's better if you let me kowtow in the seat of honor. If you don't save me when treating my illness, then I will accept my debt of gratitude."

His Majesty was choked quite heavily by his words, he immediately brought out the late emperor to demonstrate his strength. It was because of his words that Old Man Ji had a bad complexion, he was so regretful that he wanted to jump out and slap his own mouth.

Thus, he awkwardly sat on the throne and received the Old Man Ji's respect in accordance to normal etiquette, then there was nothing else to say.

After searching his stomach and stomach for a while, he finally said: "I have something to say, I have no choice but to ask Mr. Jil to come out of the mountain again. I hope that you do not mind me disturbing your peace and quiet, I have a request for you from Sir, it is for Second Brother's illness."

The Old Man Ji said: "If you have the same illness as the previous emperor, please forgive this old man's limited medical skills, but this illness cannot be completely cured. If you can change people, it would be better for you to change people as soon as possible."

His Majesty frowned. He was merciless, meaning that a sick prince could not inherit the throne, and wanted him to take the opportunity to change as soon as possible. It could be said that every single sentence slapped his face, the truth was that even the late emperor himself had said the same thing to him, and the late emperor had indeed heard of it, the only thing he did not expect was that the His Majesty had also inherited an illness.

His Majesty said in a deep voice, "Mr. Jil, you were the one who saved the late emperor, and other than you, there is no one else in the world who can save him. Even if there is no cure, at least there is a way to cure him, you only need to ensure that my second brother can live to his age."

"His Majesty, looking at your face, you must have suffered a lot, right? Why did you have to drag your son into the water every day, back then I also exhorted the late emperor like that, if he could immediately let go of the matter in front of him, he might have been able to live a few more years, but unfortunately, the hardest thing for a person to learn is to let go.

The more he wanted to hide, the more deeply he would hide. The more pain he would feel when he was pulled out, the Old Man Ji was not going to show any mercy at all, but he had to admit that what he said was true.

"His Majesty, you know better than anyone that it's difficult to control one's mind when this illness strikes, and it is taboo to work hard, so there is no room for mistakes in the country's affairs. Besides, it is passed down from generation to generation, and I can tell you the truth, if you put down the country's affairs now, I can preserve another five years of my life.

No matter how ambitious an emperor was, he wouldn't be able to take someone's words for his short life. Even if it was really just a short life, he had to be coaxed around, as if coaxing someone to coax him to live two more years. However, it was clear that Old Man Ji didn't have that kind of thought.

"Mr. Jil." The His Majesty suppressed his words for a long time before slowly saying, "We were forced to do this because of it, the nation is truly dependent on the Emperor. Other than the Second Elder, who can hold up the stand, there is no one else we can hope for, the things that the Old mister said to save the patient are the most correct principles, but the matters of the heavens are not something that can be resolved with a single life. Most of the time, it is simply a matter of life and death.

His Majesty began to reveal his trump card, his words making people unable to hold back. It was as though he was already doing everything for the Great Chen, not asking for anything in return, as long as he could guarantee that Second Prince would live for a few more years.

Since the Old Man Ji had agreed to come, it was not only to save his face, but also to protect his own grandson. Although the Old Man Ji had agreed to come, it was not only for the sake of his dignity, and he could not completely cure the disease, and even if it did not, it would not hurt him. Furthermore, even if it was for the sake of Gu Yun, the disease of the Old Man Ji had to look.

It was all because of the old man's good intentions and His Majesty's heart.

"I can see for myself, but I'll have to say it first."

As long as Old Man Ji is willing to agree, this matter can be saved, "If there is anything Mr. Jil needs, just say it out, I will definitely do my best to satisfy you."

Old Man Ji said: What I have just said is not a lie, this disease is not an illness, it is an illness caused by poison, and the remnants of the poison cannot be completely removed even if it has been passed down to the next generation. If I do not speak empty words with you, Second Prince will still suffer from the disease even if I were to make a move, when he is young, I can give him a temporary rest, but when he is thirty years old, I can only resign myself to fate by taking medicine, and the pain when he is sick will even be doubled, which also means that it will be even more painful than it is right now.

"Thirty years old? Is he only thirty years old? "

Old Man Ji saw that his face was unsightly and shut his mouth, Old Man Ji then continued to speak, "If you insist on helping Second Prince suppress him, I have no objections, but Gu Yun does not know about this matter, my request is to not involve him, and with Gu Yun's body, I am afraid he cannot endure your torture, if one day he wants to retreat, I hope you can let him off with a few years of peace."

"This is not a rude request, it is reasonable that the old man thinks for his grandson, the His Majesty would not not give him this face, thus we can readily agree," Mr. Jil is kind enough to understand, Xuanchen is a rare talent, we value him highly even if we use him, but we know that he is sick, and we cannot force him, if he ever wants to leave, we will not stop him. "

His Majesty thought that it was still too early, so he agreed happily. With Gu Yun around, he could still suppress Old Man Ji a little.

Old Man Ji spoke a bunch of ugly words, and after giving a few instructions, he said: "Then, Second Prince, please have a look."

The His Majesty was overjoyed, and immediately called for people to come, to invite the Second Prince into the great hall, and to cover it up and keep it a secret.
