The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Chapter 1730 -1723: I Live Inside Your Body, How Could I Not Understand You?

The chaotic affairs in the court, even in the days when the emperor was still vigorous, would cause headaches. Let alone now, with the Crown Prince being just five years old.

The Crown Prince is still too young.

It’s truly too difficult for him.

“Sun Wu, summon Uncle Mo Qi to come over.”

Chu Heng’s fair fingers tapped on the imperial table as he spoke in a low voice.

Sun Wu immediately went to fetch Mo Qi.

Mo Qi entered the imperial study and saluted, “This minister pays respects to the Crown Prince.”𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Chu Heng nodded slightly, “Rise.”

“Uncle Mo Qi, I have a task for you.”

Chu Heng’s voice was tender but resolute.

Mo Qi clasped his hands in salute, “Your Highness, please instruct.”

“You’ve met Deputy General Yang before. Have someone draw her portrait, then personally lead the Imperial Guards to search for her outside the city.

Other than along the riverbanks and places near water,

expand the search to villages along the downstream shore. Remember…”

Chu Heng initially had more details to instruct, but he stopped mid-sentence and sent Mo Qi off swiftly.

As Mo Qi was on his way out, he ran into Lu Mian and Zhuo Junli.

He and Lu Mian avoided each other’s eyes, but when Zhuo Junli greeted him, he nodded politely in return.

Lu Mian and Zhuo Junli entered the imperial study. One was like fire, the other like ice—completely incompatible.

Lu Mian strongly suggested withdrawing and resting the troops at the West Suburb Barracks, while Zhuo Junli argued that besides those in the West Suburb Barracks, few others knew Yang Xianhui well enough. He believed newly assigned individuals might not succeed in finding her.

Chu Heng listened as the two quarreled, and in his mind, Little Ginseng was fuming. “These two are so annoying. Why don’t you just do away with them?”

It was genuinely exhausting just to listen!

Chu Heng chuckled, “Father is away, and they are acting as regent ministers. How could I kill them?

Besides, even though they stand on opposite sides, they both have valid points.”

Little Ginseng put her hands on her hips and scoffed coldly, “Ha! Valid, but it’s all their own logic. Let’s see which side you favor!”

Chu Heng’s face remained calm as ever.

He didn’t necessarily need to favor anyone entirely.

But since he had said nothing for quite some time, the two below him continued their relentless dispute without arriving at a solution.

Little Ginseng, who had been enduring the bickering alongside him, suddenly remembered, “Didn’t you just send Mo Qi to search? Why not tell them?

Also, it seemed like you didn’t finish giving Mo Qi instructions earlier?”

Chu Heng restrained himself before revealing too much. While Mo Qi might not have noticed, the presence within his mind had clearly felt that he still had unspoken plans!

Chu Heng smiled inwardly, “See, you understand me best.”

Little Ginseng: …

Oh, spare me your nonsense! I live inside your body, how could I not know you?

After finishing his mental conversation with Little Ginseng, Chu Heng noticed that Lu Mian and Zhuo Junli had already finished quarreling and were now waiting for his next decision.

Lu Mian bowed respectfully and said, “Your Highness, the deployment of troops at the West Suburb Barracks is not justified under these circumstances. Yang Xianhui has already met with misfortune. Searching further, even for her body, is a waste of effort and resources. It might also provoke public criticism, casting doubt on the abilities of female generals in the court;

worse, it may even invite skepticism toward recent reforms endorsing women’s participation in military examinations. This subject advises against further resource wastage. Dispatching regular soldiers should suffice.

Furthermore, this subject also questions the capabilities of women in the military. I urge Your Highness to reconsider the matter of women joining the army.”

Zhuo Junli, who had already debated fiercely with Lu Mian earlier, held an entirely different opinion. He believed the public’s intense attention to this matter meant the court must immediately send elite generals to locate Yang Xianhui and provide reassurance to the common people.

At the same time, he insisted the court should actively promote Yang Xianhui’s heroic achievements.
