ninety five
The people of the capital have been talking about this recently. Prince Ling's mansion has posted notices all over the city seeking famous doctors. Anyone who can find a magic medicine to cure the leg disease will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold.
The number of ten thousand taels of gold stunned everyone. Many people calculated for a long time but could not figure out how much ten thousand taels of gold was. They only knew that it might be a fortune that most people could not earn in ten lifetimes.
I don't know who is worthy of King Ling's cherishment. I'm afraid he has emptied out all his family assets.
At one time, many people who were proud of their medical skills flocked to Prince Ling's Mansion, almost trampling over the threshold, eager to try and see if they could have a chance to get this huge sum of money.
Unfortunately, even a female doctor with truly superb medical skills like Hua Chun could not really solve the problem, let alone the so-called doctors in the folk. More than a dozen people came and went in two days, and all of them were thrown out by Wang Chen.
"What kind of people are they!" Wang Chen spat in hatred, "They just picked up a recipe from nowhere and presented it to our prince. If Master You gets any harm from taking that recipe, I think they are tired of living!"
Qi Han was helpless, "Don't you despise Ying San the most? Why do you call him Master You now?"
Wang Chen's face turned red: "When did I dislike him? Brother, please don't say anything nonsense. Besides, he risked his life to protect our prince, but now he has ended up like this..."
"I also respect him as a hero."
Qi Han sighed and looked up to the sky, "It's a pity that if even Miss Huachun can't cure the injury, there will be even fewer people who can cure it."
The two brothers stood guard at the gate of the palace, looking at the huge crowd of people queuing outside. In fact, most of them came to try their luck, and none of them had real skills.
You Shu didn't know that his prince had gone to such great lengths to find famous doctors for him. He had really been living a retirement life in the mansion for the past two days. All he did was eat and sleep. He either played with Xiaoyue or enjoyed the flowers and basked in the sun in the flower hall. He had been eating a lot of nutritious food these days. He had become plumper little by little, and had regained a third of his original spirit.
People may all like to make things difficult for themselves. In the past, their lives were very hard, and they would secretly think that if they could live to retirement, they would enjoy life. But when they really live such a carefree life, they start to miss the past.
He pinched his leg gently and felt a little pain, but it was very difficult to make it move again through brain nerve commands. He didn't know if he was really disabled. Hua Chun always responded to him ambiguously, probably because she was afraid of telling him the truth and making him sad.
When You Shu was free, he would sometimes look in the mirror to tidy up his appearance, and naturally he would notice the long and thin scar on his forehead. However, he did not care much about it. He was confident that with his looks, even if he had such a scar, it would not affect his handsomeness. Besides, a man with scars would be more manly, and it was a medal.
The main reason is that his prince is a face-obsessed person, but fortunately, you can’t see that he dislikes it.
You Shu was drowsy when he suddenly heard footsteps. He knew who was coming without even looking up.
"Are you back?" He opened his eyes lazily and saw Xiao Weixin walking quickly towards him from a distance.
Xiao Weixin had just returned from a social event outside, and looked somewhat relaxed. Without waiting for You Shu to turn around, he leaned over and kissed him on the side of his face: "Do you still want to watch the fun I told you about last time?"
"Of course I want to watch it." You Shu was bored to death and wished there was more excitement.
Xiao Weixin's eyes were full of smiles. He raised his hand and pinched his face affectionately, "You've gained some weight."
"How about lunch today?"
"Very good." You Shu nodded, and casually took the tea next to him and handed it to him: "Didn't you say there was a party? Where is it?"
Xiao Weixin smiled mysteriously, "Sit with me for a while, and you will have the answer within an hour."
It's so mysterious...
You Shu wondered in embarrassment whether he should pretend to be surprised later.
The two of them were drinking tea and talking in the garden. Xiao Weixin would massage his legs and feet from time to time. From the back, they looked like a well-matched couple. Even though You Shu looked a little down and out now, it couldn't hide the heroic spirit between his brows. He even looked a little more calm than before. If he walked on the street, he would still attract the attention of many girls.
An hour later, Xie Feiyuan came over as expected.
When You Shu saw the shadow leader, he wanted to salute, but Xiao Weixin held him back. Xie Feiyuan didn't care about these things either. He walked closer and whispered, "Your Majesty, everything has been arranged."
"The dog emperor was going crazy right now and killed Xia Huaizhang with one sword on the spot."
It turned out that the long plan that Xiao Weixin had laid was waiting here. The affair between Concubine Luo and Xia Huaizhang had already existed for a long time, and even the Concubine's pregnancy was the result of Xia Huaizhang's efforts. However, Xiao Weixin had been holding it in until now when the opportunity was right and then arranged for Xiao Weishen to discover it.
Originally, Xia Huaizhang was able to have an affair with the imperial concubine for several years without being discovered. He also had spies on hand, so it was impossible for him to be discovered so easily. But they never expected that the confidant in the imperial concubine Luo's palace had long been replaced by Xiao Weixin, and it would be easy for him to betray the two of them.
"The plan didn't go smoothly at first." Xie Feiyuan sighed, "The dog emperor suddenly changed his mind halfway through and insisted on going to the study to review memorials. Our people wanted to deliberately lead him to the imperial concubine, but we didn't want to make it too conspicuous."
"Who knew that at the critical moment, the Queen came and said that she saw something bad with the Imperial Concubine and wanted to take him to see her as well."
Xie Feiyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he said this: "Fortunately, everything went according to plan."
The scene at that time could be said to be very exciting. As soon as Xiao Weishen entered the inner hall of the imperial concubine, he felt something was wrong. There was a smell of something in the air, and he didn't see anyone in the inner hall along the way. He didn't know where the people who usually served him had gone, and no one even notified him of his arrival.
It was not until he walked around the screen and saw with his own eyes the wild mandarin ducks doing something bad on the chaise longue that Xiao Weishen dared to believe that his guess was true.
Concubine Luo didn't expect Xiao Weishen to suddenly appear, and she rolled off the bed in fright. Xia Huaizhang must have been too stupid, as he still wanted to provoke him at this time. He nakedly mocked Xiao Weishen for being incompetent in sex and even asking him to do things like having children for him. It turned out that nothing could be done without their Xia family.
Xiao Weishen was already so angry that his eyes turned black. When he heard that the children were not his, he immediately lost his mind. "Coincidentally" one of the guards who followed him handed him a sword, so in a rage, he killed Xia Huaizhang with one sword, and then threw Concubine Luo directly into the Heavenly Prison and tore her body into pieces.
"It's strange to say, the Queen watched the whole thing, seeing her own brother die tragically, but she showed no sadness, no joy, and no emotion at all." Xie Feiyuan sighed, "She is also a ruthless person."
Xiao Weixin sneered as he heard this while drinking tea, "That woman is really unusual."
"But she hasn't opposed us yet, so don't touch her yet."
Xie Feiyuan nodded and said, "If you ask me, this is also retribution for Xia Maoan. Who would have thought that he was such a smart old fox all his life, but in the end he raised such a stupid and useless son."
"If it weren't for what he said, he wouldn't have to die. The dog emperor is really afraid of his father."
In the end, Xia Huaizhang was spoiled, too confident in his father, thinking that his whole family could trample on Xiao Weishen and act wildly, and did not take him seriously at all, but he did not know that even rabbits would bite people, let alone Xiao Weishen, a dog that could not be tamed. He humiliated the man that Xiao Weishen cared about the most, so don't blame him for driving him crazy and killing people without blood.
"It's a good deal for him." Xiao Weixin said calmly, "There are other painful ways to die, but he is very useful, so we have to make the best use of him."
You Shu listened to his words and couldn't help but sigh: "The Prime Minister has only one son, and he got him with great difficulty in his old age. Now he is gone just like that. It would be strange if he didn't go crazy, right?"
"So the palace is bustling now." Xie Feiyuan couldn't help laughing, "Fortunately she's not here, otherwise if that bitch tried to mediate, it would be hard to say."
Speaking of Empress Dowager Xia, You Shu asked Xiao Weixin, "How is the Empress Dowager doing now? Calculating the date, she will give birth in almost four months, right?"
"Do you really want her to give birth?"
Xiao Weixin shook his head: "Her life or death is just a matter of a word, but Zhao Shen said he has his own way and begged me to give him a chance."
"After all, he is the last person alive in the Zhao family. His family had a relationship with my mother's family. It is difficult for me to refuse his wish."
You Shu thought of the young man who used the pseudonym "Yu Sheng" and felt sorry for him. "He was a talented person who could have made a name for himself. Xiao Weishen is really blind."
"I promised him that when he succeeds, I will give him a chance to serve as an official in the future. I just don't know what he thinks." Xiao Weixin felt a little sympathetic when talking about Zhao Shen. "His life experience is more complicated than yours and mine. I'm afraid his character is even more complicated. Let him be."
"It won't be easy for that bitch anyway."
Xie Feiyuan sneered: "Of course she won't get away with it."
"The court must be in turmoil these days." Xiao Weixin played with the teacup in his hand, but his eyes showed some determination, "This matter has nothing to do with us anyway, I will take a few days off and stay at home to avoid the storm."
"Wait for Xiao Weishen to come and beg me."
Xiao Weixin placed You Shu's hand in his own and squeezed it gently, "It just so happens that I've been busy these few days, so I can find a chance to accompany Xiao Shu."
"It's a nice autumn day with clear skies. Weiming said the maple leaves all over the mountain are really beautiful. Why don't I take you out for some fun?"
You Shu had been stuck at home for so many days, and it was a rare opportunity for him to go out for a walk, so of course he was willing to go.
What's more, the conflict between Xia Maoan and Xiao Weishen has intensified to the maximum, and they are bound to fight to the death. It's just right for them to stay away and have some free time. Who wants to watch those two stinky guys tearing each other apart
You Shu felt that their good days were just around the corner.
At this rate, all of this will be completely over by the end of the year at the latest.
That's great.
