Chapter 454…
This was soon confirmed.
The Sixth Prince approached Liu Qiuwu, hoping to get the support of the Liu family.
He used both reason and emotion, first implicitly analyzing the current situation, saying that he was the one with the best chance of getting that position. If the Liu family could stand on his side, promotion would not be a problem. If not, he would leak the fact that Liu Qiuwu had already found his sister's whereabouts, and use this as a threat.
Qiao Ruicheng found out about this that night and quickly realized that he was being used by Liu Qiuwu. However, he was not angry, after all, he had brought this upon himself.
However, when Xie Yu unexpectedly heard a familiar name, he realized belatedly that Liu Qiuwu's nephew was Ze Ge'er whom he had met, and the eldest daughter that the Liu family had been looking for was Yun girl that his grandparents often talked about.
As for Ling Chuan, he didn't recognize him at all, and he never associated him with the dark-skinned General Ling with a beard that almost covered half of his face, whom he had met two or three times.
Is it true that the feng shui in the countryside is more beneficial to health? After shaving, a person will not only become whiter but also more handsome.
After listening to this, Qiao Ruicheng couldn't help but sigh that it was fate. He then discussed with his adviser and decided to meet Liu Qiuwu again.
He extended an olive branch to Liu Qiuwu and promised to help him solve the problem of the Sixth Prince.
Liu Qiuwu seized the opportunity, agreed immediately, and successfully boarded the ship of King Xian.
So when the long-missing Second Prince's head suddenly appeared in the Sixth Prince's exhibition hall, the guests he wanted to win over all turned pale with fear when they saw it...
When the old emperor learned of this, he was so angry that he fainted.
The old emperor was already ill, and after the incident with the third prince, the eldest prince temporarily avoided the limelight. The remaining four princes, with the instigation of Jin Xuhua and their opponents, fought each other to a bloody pulp, leaving the old emperor exhausted.
This time when he woke up, he was in even worse condition, looking as decadent as an old man who was about to die.
The Sixth Prince, who had been confident at first, suddenly became a ruthless brother-killer. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He was so anxious that he was sweating and crying out for injustice, saying that he was framed. But who would care about the roar of a loser?
In the brutal fight of life and death, no competitor would miss the opportunity to defeat the enemy and kill him, not to mention that the second prince's mother was still alive.
So no matter how the Sixth Prince cried out for injustice, the Second Prince's death was blamed on him, and the incident of wiping his brother dug deep into the old emperor's shadow.
Those bloody past events that had begun to haunt him as he grew older now haunted him like a nightmare, causing him panic and suffocation.
Fearing that the past would repeat itself, the old emperor finally became truly wary of these sons who were eager to replace him. In order to balance and restrain them, he released the eldest prince from house arrest.
The matter came to an end, and just when Liu Qiuwu breathed a sigh of relief, an accident happened, including Qiao Ruicheng.
They all thought that Liu Qiuwu would no longer be threatened by the Sixth Prince, but they did not know that the Sixth Prince was already on Jin Xuhua's current list of people to be eliminated and was their main focus. Therefore, the fact that the Sixth Prince was secretly trying to win over Liu Qiuwu could not be hidden from the spies hidden around him.
Soon, Jin Xuhua and others learned that Liu Qiuwu had found out his sister's whereabouts and recognized his nephew.
After being fooled for so long, the eldest prince and Qiao Wenjin and his son were very angry and wanted to skin Liu Qiuwu alive.
So Liu Qiuwu was poisoned and tried to be killed, but fortunately none of the attempts were successful.
Realizing that something was wrong, Liu Qiuwu immediately passed the message to Xia Mo.
Xia Mo was very worried, so he asked Ling Chuan to protect him secretly. After all, it was not convenient for him to tell others that he knew martial arts. However, Liu Qiuwu refused without a second thought.
Liu Qiuwu didn't want the news of Ling Chuan's presence in the capital to be exposed, and secondly, he was worried about leaving his nephew alone.
As for himself, although he has the support of the big ship of Prince Xian, it is also a ship that cannot be seen in the light for the time being. Rather than letting Prince Xian be exposed to the public so quickly, he would rather protect him and go further. At least it is not the time to expose it yet. This is their trump card, and he has already sent more people to the two elders.
Although Xia Mo understood his sincere patriotism, he was still very worried about him. Ling Chuan also didn't want this man to go down the same regretful path again, so after a careful discussion, he finally suggested that he find a strong thigh that would not be easily shaken.
Who is more powerful than the eldest prince?
Needless to say, this person is naturally the Emperor of Dayuan, the eldest prince's father.
What does the aging and increasingly powerless emperor want?
He has power, fame and fortune, so what he wants must be immortality. At the moment, what he wants is to revive his increasingly decadent body.
This is not difficult to solve. Xia Mo can use the diluted spiritual lake water to make him some tonic pills. The problem is whether Liu Qiuwu is willing to take the risk.
After careful consideration, Liu Qiuwu agreed. Rather than being targeted unilaterally by Jin Xuhua and others, it would be better for him to become a popular figure around the old emperor. This way, the eldest prince would be afraid of him.
But this kind of thing is definitely not something they can do just by going to the palace to present treasures. This is a big game of chess, and one wrong move could lead to their death. They still have to talk to King Xian in detail to see if he can help.
Qiao Ruicheng did not disappoint Liu Qiuwu and said he would personally take part in the battle...
Before, everyone said that Prince Xian and Princess Xian would not last long. However, no bad news came from Prince Xian’s mansion. We only heard that the two of them were taking medicine to stay alive every day. However, today was different.
Prince Xian, whose face was always as white as a plain white, looked less sick and more rosy. He went straight to the Liu family's medical clinic.
It is not surprising that Yaozhuangzi wants to get medicine and see a doctor. What is surprising is that due to his noble status and the fact that he has not left home for a long time, he has gone against his usual behavior and appeared in a clinic today.
The servant asked for all the new tonic pills in the store, but what the other party took out was completely different from the box of tonic pills bought before. The servant could not help but question them coldly. The doctor on duty hurriedly explained that the box was not for sale and was mistakenly placed there and then bought by them.
Qiao Ruicheng put on a good show and showed that he really wanted it and said he wanted to talk to his boss.
Faced with a noble person, they hurried to find their boss, Liu Qiuwu.
After some visits, the old emperor heard that Qiao Ruicheng's condition had improved and he really summoned him and asked the imperial physician to diagnose his pulse.
The imperial physician withdrew his hand, expressed his congratulations, and then said that Prince Xian's health had indeed improved a lot, and if he continued with this treatment, he would definitely get better and better.
Upon hearing this, the old emperor smiled kindly and said, "That's good, that's good," just like a gracious elder.
Qiao Ruicheng also deliberately revealed a hint of happiness that he could not conceal, saying that after he finished taking the tonic pills, he might have the strength to walk.
The old emperor looked at him and said with heartache that you have suffered a lot over the years, and then he slowly asked about the body-boosting pills.
Qiao Ruicheng told all the misunderstandings in the Medical Insurance Hall, and said with a smile that it was a good thing they put it in the wrong place, otherwise he would have missed it.
The old emperor smiled and said that he had chosen the right name and that the child was a blessed one, blessed by God.
