The young guard said it with sincerity, and Yuan Qiu had no reason not to believe it. It was just that she couldn't figure out what charm she had that could make a fierce horse lose its fierceness.
Under Zhu Yan's control, the horse ran very smoothly, and Yuan Qiu, who had never ridden a horse before, was not jolted too much.
By the time we returned to Prince Jing's Mansion, it was already midnight, night had fallen, and lanterns were already lit on the streets outside the Prince's Mansion.
Liu Shangshu has been pacing outside the palace. No one invited him to enter the palace, and no one came out of the palace. He just kept waiting like this, and he didn't know how long he would wait.
The sound of horses tapping on the stone ground was heard, and Liu Shangshu turned around suddenly. Under the dim light of the street, a horse ran towards him from far to near. It was not running very fast, but very rhythmically.
He half-squinted his eyes, and with the faint lights on the street and the light of the crescent moon in the sky, he could clearly see two people sitting on the horse. Until he came closer, he saw the unparalleled and handsome Prince of War, holding the delicate and delicate child. After Divine Doctor Xia fell from his horse, he came to his senses and rushed forward to salute Prince Jing.
Prince Jing looked quite unhappy: "Aren't you very familiar with the imperial doctors in the palace? Why don't you go to them?" Liu Shangshu's mother was weak and sick. Over the years, she had troubled the imperial doctors a lot. He and the palace doctors It can be said that the imperial doctors are very familiar with it.
Liu Shangshu said with a bitter face: "Back to your lord, the imperial doctors are also at the lower official's house, but they have no skills. The lower official recalled the magic doctor Xia's resurrecting skills that day, so he rushed to invite you. I hope your lord will forgive me." The crime of official presumption!"
Prince Jing looked unhappy and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I will go with you!"
Liu Shangshu looked surprised. Who said Prince Jing was unkind? Who said Prince Jing was hard-hearted? They all fart.
In order to save time, Yuan Qiu and King Jing got on the carriage brought by Liu Shangshu, while Liu Shangshu rode back home first.
On the way to the Liu Mansion, Yuan Qiu asked: "This Liu Shangshu seems to be a filial son. His mother is so anxious when he is ill."
Zhu Yan shook his head, with strong mockery in his eyes, and sneered: "That's not necessarily the case!"
Yuan Qiu raised his eyebrows: "What?"
Zhu Yan leaned back, leaning against the swaying wall of the car, and said softly: "We have a state law in Xiliang. When an official's parents die, it takes Ding You three years to mourn. Therefore, for the sake of his own future, how can he be willing to stay away from the court for three years?" as long as?"
That's why you're so anxious
"Maybe he really has a deep relationship with his mother?"
Zhu Yan shook his head: "Impossible. Liu Shangshu was originally a bastard in the family, but his eldest brother was too dissolute and eventually died of a woman. In order to preserve her position in the palace, her aunt treated Liu Shangshu, who was despicable in her eyes, The concubine passed into her name and was raised as her legitimate son for several years."
"Moreover, not long after Liu Shangshu was taken away by his aunt, Liu Shangshu's biological mother died mysteriously. Do you think Liu Shangshu would treat his aunt sincerely?"
Yuan Qiu was speechless. In the past, I had only seen these internal fights in TV dramas. I always felt that the plot should be exaggerated for the sake of ratings. Now that I am in it, I realize that the reality is only crueler and more vicious.
"By the way, Zhuo Zhonghai came to the palace today, and I asked someone to stop him." Zhu Yan looked calm, but there was a deep contempt for Zhuo Zhonghai in his eyes.
Yuan Qiu pouted. Zhuo Zhonghai's coming was completely within her expectation. She really had no intention of seeing him. Zhu Yan still understood her very well.
