Powerful Farmer
Attempts

In the Emperor's study room a middle-aged woman reported the incident last night to a man before her.

"How was last night, what went well".

The woman was silent, hesitant to say it.

"Why, did you fail"

The man seemed to understand what had happened, confirming what he expected.

"Not so, Your Majesty, we actually managed to anesthetize and give afrosidiac drugs to the third prince, but the two young women failed to awaken the tree".

The Emperor looked sharply at the woman before him while frowning.

"Oh yes, even though it was a very powerful medicine made by the imperial healers themselves. Why....what might he have not recovered".

Apparently the Emperor had known that the third prince had been cursed since he was born but indeed he deliberately did not tell this to the concubine Ouyang because he feared the condition of the concubine Ouyang's heart.

The Emperor asked the third prince to stay with him in the real palace because the Emperor was also looking for a way to treat him.

"Maybe that's not the cause, last night she kept calling Joan's name in her sleep. Perhaps it was his deep love that caused him to have strong self-control".

"Yes, hopefully like you said but what if he really hasn't recovered yet".

Said the Emperor in a tone full of worry.

"How about we try again tonight, Your Majesty, tomorrow they will return to the village of Genteng, I think there is no harm in us trying to return ".

"Alright, try again tonight, we can't use the dope more than twice in a row because the impact will be bad".

That night the third prince was once again drugged, this time not needing to call him on the Emperor's orders as the third prince came home from the residence of concubine Ouyang in a slightly drunken state.

He was drugged in his own room but this time was unlike the night before, not just laughing like the night before. The young women who tried to seduce her in an unconscious condition were kicked out of her bed when one of them kissed her. Suddenly the third prince muttered an obscure word and then kicked the women one by one until their limbs were broken, even one of them fell on the empress.

Unlike the night before, where the imperial guards raised the body of the third prince, this time they were excited to be able to carry the bodies of young women and, afraid that they would lose their limbs because of his anger.

The next day back when waking up Andi felt a headache, different from the night before. That night she dreams of walking with Joan in the garden, as she hugs to kiss Joan.

The first prince came to disturb them. An enraged Andi immediately got into a fight with the first prince and he kicked the first prince hard.

The empress who had been handled by the imperial physician came back to see the Emperor, although there were no injuries to her body but her body felt sore and her legs sprained from being hit by one of the young women last night.

The emperor slightly smiled at the condition of the empress who walked in limping. The proposal to trap Andi initially came from the empress who reported that the third prince had built his tree with Joan.

"Yes, your honor, we failed again. Not knowing if indeed his self-control was so strong or indeed only the Great Princess alone could wake up the tree".

"What if the news that the first prince heard was wrong and actually the third prince could not wake his tree "

"Well then you must forget to seat him as the future crown prince".

"How the crown prince could not raise his tree. This kingdom would be cursed if the next Emperor had no descendants ".

Said the middle-aged woman.

"It......".

The man could not continue his words.

"But if only the Great Princess can raise the tree, can you change the rules that have been in place to allow the third prince to marry only one wife".

The emperor looked at the woman before him, trying to understand what was on his mind. Shouldn't he have no need to ask about the rules.

Had he not always desired that his son be the first prince to take the crown prince's office, why he was actually fighting for the third prince to be able to sit as the crown prince and ignore his own son.

"That's hard to say because that rule wasn't thrown out by me".

"In that case, the only way, you must hand over the position of crown prince to another prince candidate".

Apparently the woman who was the empress was not thinking about the interests of the third prince but just provoked him to say it

"Perhaps, it seems that the third prince did not pay much attention to it either. He'd rather travel outside than take care of government affairs"

"Well, I will reconsider, Thank you for what you have done ".

"Okay, Emperor, I'll step down first".

The Empress, walked out of the study room and stepped her feet back into her own pavilion. The emperor was a little hard-hearted to think of the third prince. Consort Ouyang actually did not love her wholeheartedly, when she married him, the Emperor promised his concubine Ouyang's father to give his royal throne to the eldest son of Ouyang's concubine, the Emperor, that is why the father of the empress cussed over the baby in the womb of concubine Ouyang with the curse that he would not be able to raise his tree.

The empress did this out of jealousy for her own son. Why the throne of the crown prince should be given to the prince of concubines and not to his own son as the eldest prince.

The Emperor was indeed a weak man of his standing, although he knew the empress was playing such a game, the Emperor just kept quiet as if unwilling to interfere in her harem affairs. Perhaps the Emperor thought it was also a selection for the next Emperor candidate, who could survive to the end who deserved to be his successor.

Consort Ouyang himself had no desire for his son to become heir to the throne, instead he wanted his son to have the freedom to determine his own future, living like a bird that was not confined in a golden cage.

That's why concubine Ouyang asked the Emperor for a gift to allow his two other children to live life outside the palace. The Emperor loved concubine Ouyang so much that the Emperor agreed to his request and allowed his two children to stay in the Ouyang concubine's house, only the third prince who had lived with him since childhood in the palace.
