Chapter 158 Wang Fu
The prince's left hand is disabled.
I don’t know who the news spread from. When two officials met, they often hesitated to speak. They tested each other and confirmed that they were both aware of the same gossip, and then they communicated happily.
The prince is the heir to Jiangshan Sheji. Although the loss of his left hand will not have much impact, it does not sound good to be disabled!
For a time, people were panicked, and there was an unspeakable impetuousness in the air.
Lin Hao heard the news from Qi Shuo.
The two hadn't seen each other for a while, and the last contact they had was that Prince Jing's palace enthusiastically invited Dr. Qian to treat Lin Chan. Lin Hao guessed that it was Qi Shuo's idea, and hurriedly sent the orb to tell the other party the truth quietly.
At that time, Lin Chan was "seriously ill". To be on the safe side, Lin Hao never left the General's Mansion to avoid arousing suspicion.
My daughter was seriously ill, so she took the initiative to cancel the engagement because it was wise for the General's Palace to save King Wei from the reputation of being a scornful wife. If the Emperor found out that she was pretending to be ill, she would be seeking death.
Qi Shuo stared at Lin intently for a while and then said: "I didn't expect that the General's Office would cancel the marriage to King Wei."
People who don't follow common sense suddenly find it more difficult to marry a good person.
Lin Hao smiled: "Grandma and mother are indeed different from other elders. They care more about our stability and happiness rather than power and wealth."
Qi Shuo coughed lightly and said: "My father, the king, and my mother and concubine are the same."
Lin Hao looked at him with a strange expression: "The main thing is that the palace is already powerful and wealthy enough."
If you go one step further, there will only be that seat.
Qi Shuo drank tea to hide her sadness.
Therefore, his background is also a shortcoming in the eyes of the General's Mansion. He really has a long road ahead.
"Did the prince spread the news that the prince's left hand was disabled?"
Qi Shuo nodded: "Yes. The prince failed in plotting against King Wei, and he was already depressed. It is said that his most trusted servant Wang Gui has died. Spreading this news at this time is just adding insult to injury. The prince is used to being the only one who has everything going smoothly, and encounters setbacks.
If you don’t reflect, you will do more and make more mistakes.”
"Just seek death." Lin Hao answered.
Qi Shuo smiled and nodded: "Yes, seeking death."
"How did that Wang Gui die?"
"The news is that he committed suicide, but I speculate that the emperor ordered someone to do it." Qi Shuo picked up the teapot and poured tea for Lin Hao. "The prince now favors a young eunuch named Wang Fu. This eunuch emerged quickly, and it happened to be
I don’t think it’s easy to seize the opportunity of Wang Guishen’s death.”
Lin Hao's heart moved: "The prince is very well informed."
Qi Shuo paused while holding up the tea cup, and said without changing his expression: "The prince has no virtue, so he has to take precautions in order to protect himself."
He took out a plain purse from his sleeve and pushed it in front of Lin Hao.
"What is this?" Lin Haosheng was diverted.
"Dividends from restaurants."
Lin Haosha opened the plain purse with interest and took out a small silver ingot from inside.
After a moment of silence, she sighed: "It's not easy to make money."
It's hard for Prince Jing to spend a lot of money to pack it.
After all, it was a dividend from his own investment. Although Lin Hao disliked it, he still kept it properly.
Qi Shuo watched her put away her plain purse, and couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth, and suggested, "Would you like to go and see our business?"
Lin Hao's mouth twitched slightly.
The business of dividing ten taels of silver...
"Go and have a look."
Emperor Tai'an sensed something was wrong from the flickering eyes of his ministers, and when he asked Cheng Maoming, the commander of the Jinlin Guards, he learned that the news that the prince's left hand was disabled had leaked.
"Who spread the word?"
Cheng Maoming did not dare to look at Emperor Tai'an's angry face: "I am incompetent. It is really difficult to find the source of such rumors..."
Emperor Tai'an slapped the table, swallowed the reprimand, sent Cheng Maoming away, and ordered Liu Chuan to call the prince.
"The son has met his father." After the shock of Wang Gui's death, the prince stayed in the East Palace and never went out. He had not heard about the rumors outside the palace.
Sooner or later, this news will reach the prince's ears.
Emperor Tai'an had already seen that the prince couldn't help it, so instead of waiting for the prince to act recklessly after hearing about it, it would be better for him to speak up.
Sure enough, the prince couldn't hold back after hearing this: "Who spread the news?"
Looking at the prince's twisted expression like a trapped animal, Emperor Tai'an frowned: "You are a big boss, can you calm down?"
"Father, everyone knows that my son is disabled!" the prince shouted.
How can he keep his composure? When others see him in the future, they will think of his flaws!
"It's just that you can't use your left hand very well. If you act appropriately and behave like a prince, no one will care about this small flaw." Emperor Tai'an advised in a deep voice.
This is not only an advice to the prince, but also a comfort to myself.
Of course he didn't want to replace the heir he had identified for more than 20 years unless he had to. He hoped that the prince would give him enough reasons to persist instead of disappointing him again and again.
Emperor Tai'an felt empty in his heart when he looked at the son he had loved for many years.
He knew that it was due to a lack of faith.
"In a while, the Yuliu envoy will come to visit you. You don't want to appear like this in front of envoys from other countries with this dejected look."
Yu Liu was located between the Zhou and Qi states. Whichever party was stronger would surrender to the other party and show weakness. It was a typical wallflower.
Emperor Tai'an paid great attention to Yuliu's position. Although Yuliu was small, it had developed well recently. If he really wanted to help Qi State wholeheartedly, it would break the current delicate balance.
"My son knows."
Although the prince had a violent temper, he finally restrained himself in front of Emperor Tai'an and only vented his anger when he returned to the East Palace.
Another heart-stopping sound of smashing echoed in the hall.
At this time, only Wang Fu dared to come over and speak: "Your Highness, please drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat."
The prince raised his hand and knocked over the tea cup. He had nowhere to vent his anger: "I've been really unlucky lately!"
"Your Highness, the more things go wrong, the more you have to stay in a good mood, so that things will turn around." When the prince was furious, others would only speak with trepidation, but Wang Fu's tone was calm and gentle, which had an inexplicable power to soothe people's hearts.
So the prince listened to some of it: "Stay in a good mood? How can I keep in a good mood with so many bad things to worry about?"
Wang Fu glanced around and saw that the palace people were standing far away and did not dare to raise their heads. He whispered: "I know a fairy medicine called 'Wusesan'. After taking it, people will be cheerful and in a happy mood. Your Highness wants to
Don’t want to try?”
"Is there such a magic medicine?"
After receiving Wang Fu's affirmative answer, the prince couldn't help but feel moved.
He was so fed up with feeling so bad that he couldn't even breathe.
Wang Fu's recent performance has already gained the prince's trust. After a moment of hesitation, the prince nodded: "Then I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, I want you to look good!"
Wang Fu smiled broadly: "Your Highness, you will know after you try it."
Chapter completed!
