In the back hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Cheng was lying on the bed, breathing weakly. Liu Hui and Yu Fei were beside him, reporting Shen Yunfan's condition.
Shen Yunfan strode into the back hall and shouted: "Father!"
"You guys go out first, Fan'er, come here." Liu Cheng didn't care at all about Liu Hui's complaint. He coughed several times while speaking and looked very weak.
Liu Hui walked out the door with a gloomy expression, while Shen Yunfan stepped forward to check Liu Cheng's pulse.
"You are short of breath when you cough, and there is a sound of water in the throat. These are symptoms of asthma!" In less than half a minute, Shen Yunfan revealed the symptoms. Because the information sent by Feng Chime today stated the prime minister's stubborn illness.
Liu Cheng seemed to be shocked and said in surprise: "The rumors are true, Fan'er is really a miracle doctor!"
"So fast? Are you confused?" Liu Hui, who was waiting outside, sneered.
Just listen to Liu Cheng continue to say: "The new emperor has ascended the throne, and the emperor will personally issue an edict tomorrow to confer several crown princes. Fan'er, if you cure my illness, I will take you to be the crown prince!"
"Then...what should I do, brother?" Shen Yunfan looked flattered and a little excited.
"Don't shirk it, I owe your father this!" Liu Cheng said in a sincere tone.
Liu Hui's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he rushed in and shouted: "Father!"
"Who let you in? Get out!" Liu Cheng scolded, coughed violently, and struggled: "I have decided this matter, and no one is allowed to interrupt!"
Now, Shen Yunfan was even more delighted and said he would prescribe medicine.
Butler Li quickly pulled the sluggish Liu Hui out. When he saw Shen Yunfan coming out of the house and running to make medicine, Liu Hui almost went crazy!
Crown Prince, this is not only a title, but also an inheritance right! Originally, only descendants of the royal family were worthy of being crowned Crown Prince!
However, Liu Cheng and several other high-ranking officials from the old dynasty were extremely powerful. In order to win over people's hearts, the new emperor ascended the throne, so he gave them the treatment of princes and allowed them to elect the heir apparent to inherit the title.
As the only son in the family, Liu Hui originally had this position...but who knew that a guy who came out of prison could actually take his position?
Why is dad so nice to this guy?
He really can't figure it out!
On the other side, after Shen Yunfan ran to the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the joyful look on his face disappeared, and he just looked around expressionlessly.
The Prime Minister has suffered from asthma for many years, so there are many medicinal materials and earthen jars in this small side hall, just like a traditional Chinese medicine store.
Feng Chime followed him and whispered: "Young Master, in my opinion, we should kill the prime minister now and then blame the Zhao assassins!"
"Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, Ling'er, don't be so murderous."
Feng Chime looked at Shen Yunfan with some surprise: "Young Master, you don't really want to be the heir, do you? The prime minister put you in jail before, do you want to be his son?"
"Who wouldn't want this position? Ling'er, a living person is more useful than a dead person." Shen Yunfan smiled.
Feng Chime obviously didn't understand the meaning, and after a while he said indifferently: "I thought I misunderstood you before, but now it seems that there is no misunderstanding."
After saying that, she was about to walk out with murderous intent. Shen Yunfan warned: "You are not allowed to kill people here. If you do, I will kill myself here. From now on, there will be no Shen family members in the world."
These words obviously threatened Feng Ling's pain points. She gritted her teeth and left, leaving only one sentence: "Young Master, you are really hopeless!"
Shen Yunfan looked at her back and had no time to explain. He just got busy here, looking for the medicinal materials he needed.
There was nothing wrong with these medicinal materials at first glance, but after careful inspection, he still found clues. All the medicinal materials were mixed with a poison powder.
Upon discovering this, Shen Yunfan suddenly laughed.
He understood everything...
An hour later, outside the apse, Shen Yunfan was holding a bowl of steaming soup and shouted as he walked: "Father, the medicine is here!"
Liu Cheng, who was lying alone in the back hall, heard the sound and immediately swallowed a wax paper bag into his mouth.
Seeing Shen Yunfan come in, he smiled and said nothing. He just took the Chinese medicine and pretended to take a sip.
The next second, his expression suddenly changed, and he spit out a mouthful of blood! Then he glared at Shen Yunfan and cursed: "Chen Yunfan, I treat you like my own son, and you actually poisoned me!?"
Sudden changes are enough to scare anyone!
However, Shen Yunfan's panicked expression did not appear!
He just stared at Liu Cheng and said with a smile: "You deliberately mixed poison with the medicinal materials, and then pretended to be poisoned by drinking it. When the time comes and you have all the witnesses and material evidence, you can frame me for poisoning? Foster father, foster father, you are really good at planning."
Liu Cheng was startled, then sneered and shook his head: "I originally thought that because of the temptation of being the heir, you were so eager to treat me that you wouldn't be able to detect any clues. Fan'er, I didn't expect you to be as sharp as your father."
"Thank you foster father for the compliment."
"But what's the use of finding out?" Liu Cheng's eyes were sarcastic, "I want to kill you in ten thousand ways, but I just want to choose a more decent one. If you don't want to be decent, I will help you be decent."
"Father, I still don't understand. My father once saved your life, but you didn't help me three years ago. Why did you collude with the pursuers to harm me?"
"So you know everything?" Liu Cheng laughed, his expression suddenly became emotional, "Fan'er, don't blame me, people die for money and birds die for food. The Shen family army is gone, there is no need for me to offend the people of Zhao for you."
"You also know that I have a large family to take care of, and there is nothing I can do. When you die, my adoptive father... will burn incense and paper for your family every Qingming Festival."
At the end of the sentence, Liu Cheng's eyes were full of cruelty and he shouted: "Come here! If Shen Yunfan dares to poison the medicine, take it down for me!"
Shen Yunfan suddenly smiled.
"Father, you have calculated everything, but you have only underestimated me."
"You are just a fugitive, why should I look down on you?"
When Liu Cheng was feeling proud, a figure suddenly walked in from outside.
Seeing this person, Liu Cheng's eyes widened in disbelief!
"Scrape...bone scraper Liu Meiniang? Why are you here!"
