Chapter 40 [Pros and Cons Balance]

On the ninth day of the sixth lunar month of the year of Ding You, it is advisable to plug the hole and break the ant net.

Yellow calendar, and believe it and don't believe it. In any case, the crown prince led a man in black to the gate of Qian Shangshu's mansion before dawn.

Last night, the imperial doctor had diagnosed that Mr. Qian was the last one.

Hearing that the prince had made a sudden visit in front of the morning court, Qian Shangshu rushed to the main hall with anger, his eyes were bloodshot, his white hair was full of white hair overnight, and his eyes were cracked, which was very terrifying.

Qian Shangshu described it as not surprising, Qian Mansion is not rich in heirs, to Qian Shangshu here are two brothers, that is still a concubine, early divided the family to live in the west of the city, and down, Qian Shangshu has only had one son and three daughters for many years, on the other hand, the five sons and six daughters over there are not lively, in the first few years, Qian Shangshu also tried his best to find a way to give birth to a son to go upside down, now that he is older, the situation in the court is changing unclear, and the mind of seeking a son is also light, just looking forward to living in peace and survival.

Because of the unique branch, so Qian Shangshu is very fond of Qian Gongzi, Qian Gongzi can be said to be windy and rainy since he was a child, in recent years, Qian Shangshu's official position has become bigger, and Qian Gongzi has grown up, and he is even more lawless and bullying.

The so-called fault of not raising a godfather, when he reached this age, he also felt powerless to discipline the teenage boy Qian Shangshu, and occasionally reprimanded a few words of Qian Gongzi and laughed and laughed, although Qian Gongzi was stubborn, he also had a look, and he never kicked the hard board, Qian Shangshu turned a blind eye and passed. Who would have thought that this time his son actually met the crown princess in the Qinglou, and after being cut off, this was Qian Shangshu's death hole, and it made him even more angry than killing his son.

Approaching the door of the main hall, Qian Shangshu took a deep breath, although his face was still haggard, but the anger mixed with hatred was well hidden.

"His majesty has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness is blessed with Jin'an. ”

"Qian Shangshu doesn't have to be polite, today is still early, time is in a hurry, this palace said bluntly, my concubine hurt Ling Lang, it is indeed at fault, this palace happens to have a friend who has a deep medical attainment, and I am happy to be able to cure Ling Lang. ”

The crown prince was full of warmth like a spring breeze, and his tone was polite and polite, which calmed Qian Shangshu a lot, but he still refused with some indignation: "Your Highness has thanked Your Highness for your kindness, but all the imperial doctors have diagnosed it, and the dog is a waste." ”

The prince was not annoyed, and his voice was as warm as a gurgling stream: "Qian Shangshu has not tried how to give up lightly, this palace is willing to promise to Shangshu, if Ling Lang does not heal, the East Palace will have no heirs, and if Shangshu is angry, it should be able to offset." ”

"Your Highness......" The first to speak was the young man on the side whose face was hidden in a wide robe and hat.

He is a descendant of the Hua Tuo clan, many years ago the clan owed a favor to Queen Xiao so he sent him to protect her life, but Xiao Hou gave the opportunity to his son, and finally Xiao Hou was killed, he did not come to the rescue, only protected the prince Zhen to avoid the poison of Jiang Guifei, all because the Hua Tuo clan has a family rule that says: "Escape from the world for a long time, secluded and invisible, one report for one report, one life for one life, have to repay the fate, life is lost", because the ancestor Hua Tuo hung the pot to help the world, but died in vain in the imperial power, so the family rules are not too involved in the world.

In plain words, a favor only saves one life, and they don't owe each other to each other.

I still remember that back then, he watched Empress Xiao convulsed during the last poisonous hair, a mouthful of blood overflowed from between Empress Xiao's lips and teeth, and the pain of rotting viscera seemed to make this noble woman lose her mind, holding her last breath and still refusing to save him, only asking him to take care of the prince, her hands struggled to gesturing her throat, and her pupils began to dilate...... In the end, out of unbearability, he ended her life early by applying needles to the death hole. Empress Xiao was like a white lotus when she was born, not stained with mud, but when she died, she was like a flower on the other side, her blood was shocking, what remained unchanged was that even if she was in such pain, she also had a quiet smile at the last moment, she was grateful to him for relieving her, right?

For Empress Xiao's death, he was at a loss and tormented. He could save it, and the thought of it tormented his soul day and night. So when he saved the prince once, he still chose to stay by the prince's side in violation of the clan rules, perhaps out of the benevolence of appeasing his much-roasted healer, maybe because the young man never complained about him, maybe because he followed Empress Xiao's coffin far away, and saw the young man holding the tablet and walking alone with his back straight, maybe it was when the young man calmly asked him to poison one of his eyes, the fearlessness and trust made the rules that he once deeply abide by suddenly become unimportant.

But now, what is this young man whom he swore to protect with his life? Is he gambling with his own heirs? Even if he is not familiar with the affairs of the court, he understands the importance of the imperial heir to the throne, and that a crown prince without an heir is in danger.

In this way, he has to cure the prince even more, he can't live up to the trust of the prince, and he can't let such a thing block the prince's avenue.

Thousands of thoughts are a long story, but it only happens in one breath, the prince said, it was really scared Qian Shangshu, and he bowed down in fear and shouted:

"Your Highness's words are serious...... Why, how can you gamble with the emperor's heir. Qian Shangshu knew that the prince was forcing him not to entangle, but he was still unwilling: "What's more, this matter is a grudge between the dog and the crown princess, and the lower officials still hope that His Royal Highness the crown prince will not interfere." ”

knew that Qian Shangshu would not give up easily, and the prince also understood his deep affection for licking calves, but his voice was still a little harsh, like a little warm and cold in the spring.

"Ling Lang has something to do, and Qian Shangshu came forward to seek justice, and my concubine should also clean up the aftermath in the palace, there is nothing wrong with it. And Qian Shangshu should also know that behind my concubine is Shuo Fang's pacification envoy, the second rank of the general of Zhenguo, if it really makes trouble in the court, Qian Gongzi's bad deeds will be exposed, not to mention, even if Your Majesty punishes the crown princess, considering the feelings of the general of Zhenguo, Ling Lang and even Shangshu himself will be affected, right?"

Qian Shangshu thought for a moment when he heard this, his face changed, he no longer argued, and only listened to the prince's tone and continued: "Qian Shangshu might as well wait and see Ling Lang's situation and then make a decision?"

"Your Highness has been thanked by the lower official, and the dog will be handed over to this son. Bowing to the prince, Qian Shangshu bowed to the man in black again.

So in the early dynasty, Qian Shangshu was silent under the eyes of everyone until the scattered dynasty, except for the crown prince and Muyang Wang, everyone else blew up, looking for their good colleagues to discuss how Qian Shangshu changed his temperament today, and his son was still so calm?

King Muyang quickly caught up with the prince, casually arched his hand, and smiled meaningfully, "Is it worth it?" Without waiting for the prince to answer, King Muyang walked forward with a smile, and the wide sleeves of the court robe shook because of his exaggerated movements, making King Muyang look like a butterfly with wings.

Is it worth it? The prince looked at King Muyang who was gradually walking away and smiled dumbly, no wonder his father likes Brother Qian more, he is really like his father, and all his feelings must be divided into values in front of power. And what about him, who had lost his mother when he was most powerless, and now the person he wanted to protect had to protect even if he did his best. It's just an heir, and now there is no more excuse not to have a room with Jiang Lu, if he needs to rely on women and children to succeed to the throne, what is the point of his efforts over the years?
