Chapter 361 Medical Miracle, Yang Guang Stood Up
Compared to the past, Yang Guang was in much better spirits today.
Her face finally regained some color, no longer as pale as paper as it had been a few days ago.
He slowly sat up from his sickbed. Although his movements were still somewhat slow, he no longer needed much assistance.
The imperial physician said this was a sign of improvement, and that with continued care, he would soon be fully recovered.
"Ruyi, is there any good news?"
After Yang Guang settled down, he turned to look at his daughter who was walking in from outside the palace, his eyes filled with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation.
These days he was worried day and night, hoping that Lü Xiao would return victorious and that Yang You would be safe and sound.
Both hearts were suspended in mid-air, unable to settle down.
"Father, you were absolutely right."
When Yang Ru saw that Yang Guang's condition had improved, she was naturally delighted, and a genuine smile appeared on her face.
Even though she was ambitious and hoped that her son would one day inherit the throne, he was still her father.
Blood is thicker than water; she couldn't bear to see her father suffering from a serious illness and lying on his sickbed in a daze.
After all, she is a human being, not an animal.
There are some bottom lines she will never cross.
Of course, the throne is an exception; there's no bottom line for that.
"Oh?"
Yang Guang turned his head, a smile playing on his lips, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
He said he felt relaxed today, and sure enough, something good was about to happen.
He was all too familiar with this feeling. Back when he was in the Prince of Jin's mansion, he would have this premonition whenever good news came.
"Zilie has achieved a great victory over the rebels from the Western Regions."
Yang Ruyi deliberately suppressed the matter of Yang You, only telling the news of Lü Xiao's great victory, wanting to whet the emperor's appetite.
It's true that Lü Xiao won a great victory, and it's also true that the foreign tribes were routed; she wasn't lying.
As for Yang You's matter, it's not too late to talk about it after Father Emperor has had his fill of joy.
"My son Zili has never lost, so this great victory is only natural."
Upon hearing this, Yang Guang's smile deepened, his eyes filled with satisfaction and pride.
Although the good news was that Yang You had been rescued, Yang Guang was still happy.
Rebellions were constantly breaking out across the land, and the Sui Dynasty was engulfed in flames everywhere.
Meanwhile, those vassal states that were suppressed by the Sui Dynasty had long been eager to take advantage of the situation and seize a bite.
Lu Xiao's trip to the Western Regions was not solely for the purpose of rescuing Yang You.
The Sui Dynasty's prestige spread far and wide, intimidating the foreign kingdoms of the Western Regions and deterring those with ill intentions from making rash moves; this was also a matter of utmost urgency.
This battle demonstrated the might and power of the Sui Dynasty.
"That's it, that's it!"
Yang Ruyi chuckled lightly, her face practically tilted to the sky, her chin held high, looking just like a proud peacock.
She doesn't even know who chose such a good husband; that's her sharp eye and incredibly discerning ability to judge people.
Of all the women in the world, who has her discerning eye?
She wasn't attracted to Lü Xiao's handsome appearance and imposing presence upon their first meeting; absolutely not.
"Hahaha."
Seeing his proud daughter, Yang Guang finally smiled, a smile he hadn't shown in a long time. His hearty laughter echoed throughout the bedchamber.
She's already a mother of two, yet she acts like she's still unmarried, lacking any composure.
Sure enough, no matter how old this child gets, in her parents' eyes she will never grow up, and will always be that little girl who needs to be worried about.
"Father, my nephew is coming back."
Once Yang Ruyi had finished celebrating, she told him about Yang You.
"Oh, come back if you want."
Yang Guang nodded indifferently, his smile still on his face, but he didn't react much.
Yang Tan would come to serve him every day and tell him about government affairs; he had grown accustomed to it.
As for the other grandsons, it doesn't matter whether they come or not.
"It's the Prince of Dai, not the Prince of Yan."
Yang Ruyi explained again, emphasizing the words "Prince of Dai" as she watched Yang Guang's expression closely.
"King of Dai!"
Upon hearing these two words, Yang Guang suddenly sat up from his bed, his movements so swift that he seemed nothing like a patient.
He paced back and forth in the bedchamber with great excitement, his steps hurried, his robes fluttering, and the wrinkles on his face smoothing out.
The imperial physician serving nearby also turned his head and stared wide-eyed.
This is simply a medical miracle!
Just a moment ago he was sickly, but now he can walk on the ground and even pace back and forth.
Indeed, a mental illness requires a mental cure; the root of His Majesty's ailment lies with the Prince of Dai.
"I knew it! I knew Zi Lie could do it!"
Overwhelmed with emotion, Yang Guang repeated himself over and over, his voice trembling and his eyes slightly reddening.
He trusted Lü Xiao, he trusted him from the very beginning.
They married their daughter to him, entrusted him with military power, and placed all the hopes of the entire Sui Dynasty on his shoulders.
As it turned out, he hadn't misjudged the person.
"Tsk..."
Yang Ruyi pursed her lips, and the smile on her face faded slightly.
Now you know?
I don't know who it was that had already prepared to establish a new crown prince some time ago, wanting Yang Tan to succeed Yang You.
"What, you have a problem with that?"
Yang Guang noticed the change in his daughter's expression, paused, and turned to look at her.
"How dare I? Father, please reconsider the Prince of Yan."
Yang Ruyi spoke slowly and deliberately, her tone carrying a hint of sarcasm.
"..."
Yang Guang, who had been pacing back and forth excitedly, suddenly slowed down, as if someone had poured cold water on him.
He slowly sat back on the bed, his face showing helplessness, and even his back was bent much more, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
The energy and spirit I had just possessed dissipated almost entirely in an instant.
The imperial physician, who was standing nearby, witnessed the entire change and marveled at it.
When it comes to medical skills, the princess is the best. With just a few words, she cured His Majesty and made him fall ill again.
What is a miracle doctor?
That's what you call a miracle doctor.
Even if Hua Tuo and Bian Que came, they probably wouldn't have this ability.
Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Yang Guang raised his hand and gently slapped himself.
It may not be a large-scale effort, but it is very substantial.
This is the price of saying the wrong thing.
If he hadn't mentioned Yang You's inability to return, or the matter of establishing a new crown prince, none of this would have happened.
He rose from Prince of Jin to become the current emperor, and he knew all too well the allure of the throne.
"Father, I have a good idea."
Yang Ruyi leaned against the table, resting her chin on her hand, and said with a grin, her eyes gleaming with cunning.
"I don't think you do."
Yang Guang didn't want to talk to this poor little girl anymore, and didn't even want to look at her.
Even if we don't mention the Prince of Yan, wouldn't he be happier for a little longer?
Why do you have to stab him in the heart? Is this daughter even his biological daughter?
"It has to be faced eventually, so why is Father Emperor becoming someone who runs away from it?"
Yang Ruyi persisted, still smiling as she spoke.
"Go ahead and speak!"
Yang Guang, exasperated by her nagging, flicked his sleeves and said irritably.
