Prologue Nine
"Brother Han, you are not young anymore. When will you find a sister-in-law for us??" Liu Zhan said with a wicked smile.
"I am a miracle doctor who is loved by everyone, and some girls like it, so I won't bother my brother."
"How can that be? You are almost forty years old. If you don't find someone, it's a bad idea to find them?" Then he looked at Han Feng next to him. Han Feng walked to Han Ji like a kitten.
"Yes, Brother Han, your lifelong affairs should be resolved!" Yun Kai also responded.
Han Ji was a little embarrassed and said, "Brother Liu, I'm almost done with your illness. I'll give you a few more medicines when I go back and say goodbye first." After that, he got up and wanted to leave.
"Pharm-dispensing is a trivial matter, Brother Han, don't rush to leave!"
"Doctors cannot be recommended, medicine does not wait for anyone. This is a big deal, so I will go there first."
"Okay, Brother Han goes to prep medicine, so I'll send it here soon." Han Ji heard it and planned to leave. Yun Kai said again: "Hanfeng, don't you say you are not very comfortable recently, so you just let Brother Han show you too. Remember to bring the medicine back when you come back." Han Feng heard it, a smile floated on the corner of his mouth, and then he pinched his throat and said: "Yes, Brother Han, my throat is not very comfortable, so show me too." He hugged Han Ji's arm and said: "Let's go, Brother Han. Let's take a look." He turned to Liu Zhan and his wife, "Princess, princess, let's go first." Han Ji smiled bitterly, looked at the well-behaved and cute little girl, sighed slightly, and took Hanfeng away.
After the two left, Liu Zhan said, "This girl Hanfeng is lively and active, not like his sister Hanxiang." Liu Zhan sighed. "Yes, it would be great if Brother Chengyong and Hanxiang were still there." Yun Kai knew that talking about the past would cause sadness, so he said, "Brother Zhan, don't think too much, have a good rest. There are still some things in the house. I'll deal with them."
Liu Zhan asked: "Okay. By the way, is there anything in the alliance?"
"After Wang Ji'en's collapse, his power basically scattered, and some gangs that depended on him in the world joined the alliance one after another. During the days when you were unconscious, Afeng was dealing with these things."
"Well, that's good."
Then Yunkai walked out, and Liu Zhan lay on the bed, thinking a lot.
Yunkai knew that Liu Zhan was resentful about Wang Chengyong's affairs. Yunkai walked slowly out the door and recalled the past:
He and Zhao Heng are twins, and he is twenty-nine years old this year. Hanxiang is the same age as him. Hanfeng is Hanxiang's sister, three years younger than Hanxiang. The two entered the Jin Palace since they were young and have been serving Yunkai. Wang Chengyong was two years older than Yunkai. His father was a general in the Song Dynasty and Wang Ji'en's brother. Later, he died due to the war. Wang Chengyong was led by Wang Ji'en. Wang Ji'en was a confidant of the late emperor. From time to time, he would take Wang Chengyong to and from the Jin Palace, so he would go with him.
Wang Chengyong got to know each other. When Wang Chengyong grew up, the late emperor named Wang Chengyong one of the imperial guards in the palace to protect the safety of the imperial city. Therefore, Yunkai, Wang Chengyong, Hanfeng and Hanxiang became good friends. Later, due to some things, the princess played a "run away from home" and the four of them fled from the palace together. In the world, they met Liu Zhan, Li Zhentian, Han Ji, Ouyang Lanxin and others. Liu Zhan and Wang Chengyong were both friends and confidants.
From the demise of the Tang Dynasty, after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, to the founding of the Song Dynasty, about three hundred years ago. During this chaotic era, many people were displaced, and some people formed their own families, sects, gangs, and associations. In order to expand their power, Wang Ji'en won many forces in the world. Some people were greedy for wealth and honor and devoted themselves to Wang Ji'en. Many people were unwilling to become vassals of the court. The most famous one was the leader of the "Yaojiang Alliance" established by the leader of the Hua League. Over the years, the world and the court had always been in a tit-for-tat state.
That's it, Wang Chengyong and Liu Zhan had differences. Liu Zhan represented the corps of the martial arts world who were unwilling to surrender to the court, and Wang Chengyong represented the corps of the court. After many open and secret struggles, Wang Chengyong was defeated and killed by Liu Zhan in the battle for the leader of the martial arts world. Hanxiang has been deeply in love with Wang Chengyong since she was a child, and she also died in those disputes. Finally, Liu Zhan negotiated with the court as the leader of the martial arts world, and finally made three rules with the emperor, which led to the current peaceful situation where the rivers world and the court coexist.
Yun Kai sighed and said lightly: "Brother Chengyong, why did you have to back then?"
At this time, a sedan chair slowly fell next to Yunkai.
One person lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and a chubby, smiling and cute old man slowly walked out of the sedan chair. It was Lu Duan. Lu Duan bowed to Yunkai, "The old minister greeted the princess."
Yun Kai replied, "Mr. Lü, is there anything wrong?"
"Haha, that's right. Today, the emperor wanted to come in person, but since the late emperor was seriously ill, many memorials were detained by Wang Ji'en. The emperor has been working hard to cure the memorials in the palace all day long, and has not been able to get rid of them. But he always cared about the princess and the prince-consort, so he asked the old minister to come and take a look."
"It's hard for the emperor to be interested, so Lord Lu, please rest in the room." Then Yun Kai ordered the servants to prepare some refreshments. Lu Duan followed Yun Kai into the gate, walked to the front hall to sit down, and said, "Is there anything wrong when I saw the princess standing outside the door?"
"It's nothing, I just came out to see it by chance."
"How is the prince consort now?"
"The prince-consort just woke up this morning, but he was not able to walk around."
"It's good to wake up. The prince consort has great martial arts skills and is really a god. This time it was thanks to the prince consort that he smashed Wang Ji'en's conspiracy and allowed the emperor to ascend the throne smoothly."
"Lord Lu has been too rewarded. It is the duty of a minister to eliminate the rebellious party and to support the country."
"The princess is modest. I wonder if I can meet Prince Liu?"
Yun Kai thought that Liu Zhan had just woken up and didn't know if he could meet the guests, so he said, "I'll go and ask."
Lu Duan said: "The princess is here to go."
In fact, it is enough for the servant to ask about this matter, but Yun Kai is worried that the servant will ask about the guests at home. Even if Liu Zhan cannot get up to meet, he will force himself to come over. He doesn't like to be soft in front of others. But when he goes by himself, he can take a good look at Liu Zhan's physical condition before making a decision. If it doesn't work, find a reason to reject Lord Lu, and be decent.
Yun Kai came to the room and saw Liu Zhan lying on the bed, closing his eyes and silently asked softly: "Brother Zhan, are you sleeping?" Liu Zhan did not answer, and Yun Kai hurriedly shook his body, "Brother Zhan?!"
Liu Zhan was just thinking about things, so he didn't hear Yun Kai's voice at the beginning. Yun Kai shook it. He opened his eyes, looked at Yun Kai and said, "What's wrong?"
"No... nothing, I thought you were asleep. Lord Lu is here, do you want to meet?"
"Mr. Lu is here? Of course I want to see you." Liu Zhan said excitedly. Then he turned over, supported the bed with one hand and the bed rail with the other, trying to stand up with the bed railing, but the pain on his body wanted to come like a tide. Yun Kai saw that his face was pale and sweaty, and he was so difficult to get up, so he helped Liu Zhan and said, "Brother Zhan, don't be arrogant to see you. I'll refuse." Liu Zhan gasped and said, "It's not that he wants to see Lord Lu. I really have to ask Lord Lu." Yun Kai helped Liu Zhan sit on the edge of the bed, then helped him put on his shoes, and said, "What's the important thing? Can you ask me when you're well?"
"It would be better to ask this earlier, otherwise it might be too late."
"What's so important? Don't even care about your own body?"
"A real man is confident in his words, and he must do his best to promise others."
Yun Kai knew that Brother Zhan had always been like this, and did not say much, shouting, "Come here! Hold the princess to the front hall!" Four or five servants rushed over for a while. Because the princess had just woken up today, there was no such thing as carrying a chair, so he had to support Liu Zhan. Some were holding arms, some held legs, and some held waists, and they were busy and funny. Liu Zhan was a little hurt by this. Although these servants were careful to support him, Liu Zhan's whole body was sore.
I can afford this kind of support method, and I drink it: "Go down, I can walk by myself!" Several servants retreated happily, and used their internal strength to condense an ice stick with their left hand. They held the ice stick and walked slowly. Yun Kai came over to support Liu Zhan's right arm. Liu Zhan had just taken a big step and felt that the wounds in his body were about to crack, and the internal injuries in his chest, waist and abdomen were also rolling in his body. He had to tremble and walk towards the front hall with a small step. It was less than two miles away, but he had been walking for half an hour.
Lu Duan didn't know what happened. Unless it was an important thing, he would do things more vigorously. On weekdays, he was also a leisurely person. He thought that it was not an important thing anyway, so he slowly savored the refreshments and waited. Anyway, it was almost time for lunch. I heard that Jiangmeng's wine and food were also good, so it was a good thing to stay here for a meal and then leave. No wonder Lord Lu was like this. He turned his head and saw that Yun Kai helped Liu Zhan with a small step.
Walking towards him in small steps, Lu Duan stood up when he saw this and wanted to walk towards them. Yun Kai focused on supporting Liu Zhan, only caring about whether the road was flat. He was worried about hiding Liu Zhan, but he didn't care about Lu Duan. Liu Zhan has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and has always been very vigilant to the outside world. He naturally noticed Lu Duan, stopped in place to take a breath, and said to Lord Lu: "Sir Lu wait for a moment, Liu will pass now. You don't have to walk around."
When Lu Duan saw Liu Zhan like this, he felt a little ashamed and said, "Your Majesty, you are in trouble, why should you come to see the old minister? When your health is recovered, the old minister will come and visit you again!" Liu Zhan continued to walk forward, Yun Kai said, "Brother Zhan has something to discuss with you, and it will take a little delay." Lu Duan was a little confused. He had to discuss what he had to discuss now, so he stood there waiting for Liu Zhan and the others to come over, without sitting down. When Liu Zhan walked into the front hall and sat down in the chair next to Lu Duan, Lu Duan sat down with him.
Liu Zhan was sweating heavily and was gasping on the chair. He was about to ask, but he saw that there were still many servants. He winked at Yunkai. Yunkai met and said, "You all go down." After the servants left, Liu Zhan asked, "What is the emperor going to do... to deal with Wang Jien?"
"Wang Ji'en amended his will and wanted to rebel, so he would naturally be punished."
When Liu Zhan heard this, he closed his eyes and pondered. This was what he expected. He just came to ask and was sure. He asked again: "Can Lord Lu advise the emperor and spare Wang Ji'en's life."
When Lu Duan heard this, he was a little surprised, "This..."
Yun Kai spoke, "Brother Zhan, how can this be done? Wang Jien conspired to rebel, how many miserable things he had done before, how could he keep him!"
Liu Zhan was shocked for a moment. Yun Kai obeyed him in the past. Even if he had any objections, the two of them discussed it privately. This time they actually sang a different tune with him. However, they also understood in their hearts that Yun Kai was originally a member of the royal family and had to take into account the face of the royal family. Secondly, Wang Ji'en is indeed a lot of people, and Wang Chengyong and Hanxiang died because of him. But this time, he was openly opposed to him in front of others. Liu Zhan felt a little embarrassed and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk." Then he said to Lu Duan: "My Lord Lu, can you go to the emperor to plead for my sake?"
Yun Kai said, "You are kind-hearted, right? Although you have made contributions this time, Lord Lu is still planning and preventing a disaster? Wang Ji'en is the culprit, and no one can spare him?"
Liu Zhan didn't know why Yun Kai was like this. He was usually gentle and kind. This time he was so excited and a little angry. He shouted to Yun Kai, "If you don't want to help me, why bother me here?"
"I'm doing it for your own good!"
"I can't see where it's done for me?"
Seeing the two arguing, Lu Duan smiled and smoothed the situation out, saying to Yun Kai: "Princess, the princess is kind and righteous. The old minister advised the emperor to advise the emperor, and it was worthy of the princess. However, in the end, the emperor still had to make a decision on this matter."
