Chapter 181 Is the Young Master good to you?

A side room on the west side of the clinic's backyard.

Gu Qingning looked at Bai Lansheng who was knocked unconscious and still covered with a sack. She turned to look at Lu Jingyu.

Lu Jingyu: "He won't cooperate, and the Ninth Prince has sent many people to watch him, so we have to make decisions in an emergency."

Gu Qingning expressed her understanding.

And who knows, maybe the Ninth Prince's men are outside the clinic now.

They really had to hurry.

When Bai Lansheng slowly woke up, the first person he saw was Wei Shuhe, who was still acting.

"Why is your clinic like this? I'm not sick, but you still bring me in to see a doctor?"

Wei Shuhe sighed, "Bai Lansheng, I was the one who taught you how to disguise yourself, so stop pretending."

Bai Lansheng squinted his peach blossom eyes and smiled, returning to his original voice.

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

At this time, Gu Qingning walked over from behind Wei Shuhe and said, "Of course you can't hide it from us, because we specially invited you to come and reminisce about the past."

When Bai Lansheng saw Gu Qingning, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, but he quickly recovered from his shock.

He sighed, "Qing Ning, I know it was you who abducted Shu He to Beijing, but I actually don't want to see you."

Gu Qingning: "You don't want to see me, is it because of the Ninth Prince?"

Bai Lansheng was still smiling, "What does this have to do with the Ninth Prince? By the way, before you talk to me about the past, shouldn't you untie me first?"

Wei Shuhe untied him as he was told.

The next moment, Bai Lansheng ran out, saying as he ran, "I'll talk to you guys some other day!"

When I ran to the door, I saw a young man.

The young man was leaning against the door holding a sword. The sword was unsheathed and shone with a cold light in the sunlight.

Bai Lansheng silently stepped back a few steps and sat on the armchair. "Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for a long time. It's time to catch up. Speaking of which, you two are really something. One of you got married without saying anything, and the other opened a clinic without saying anything. You both treat me as an outsider?"

Wei Shuhe: "You appear and disappear all year round. No one knows where you go. How can we notify you?"

Gu Qingning also nodded, "But since you are here, you can give me the gift money as compensation."

"No gift money!" Bai Lansheng's mouth twitched, his eyes fell on her rounder face, and he said with mixed feelings: "It seems that you are living well in the Duke's Mansion. You have gained weight."

Gu Qingning was too lazy to explain anything to him, and went straight to the point:

"We can talk about other things later. First, why do you want to work for the Ninth Prince?"

Bai Lansheng: "I don't know what you are talking about."

Wei Shuhe: "Lansheng, Master told us, the people of Medicine Valley, not to get involved in the struggle for succession. Have you forgotten?"

Bai Lansheng said sullenly: "I didn't want to participate in the fight for the throne. It's just that the Ninth Prince appreciated my Qianji Pavilion, and we just made a deal. And..."

He looked at Gu Qingning.

"Qing Ning, I know you are married to Lu Jingyu, and he is His Majesty's man, but what I do does not conflict with your husband, so please don't make things difficult for me."

Gu Qingning: "When we were in the palace before, the Ninth Prince had already sent someone to assassinate His Majesty."

At that time, the emperor encountered two assassination attempts, the first was by the Sixth Prince, and the second was by the Ninth Prince.

The Sixth Prince was just testing the enemy that time and did not resort to any ruthless action.

But the Ninth Prince was ruthless that time.

If Lu Jingyu had not protected him at that time, the emperor would have been either dead or injured.

Even though the emperor hasn't done anything to the Ninth Prince now, for the emperor, why would he give the throne to his brother if he could give it to his son?

Or do you want to kill your brother?

Bai Lansheng raised his head and looked at Gu Qingning, shaking his head.

"You are such an outgoing woman. Now that you are married, are you thinking about your husband wholeheartedly?"

"But Qing Ning, look at the royal family. The third prince is imprisoned, and the sixth prince has no strong support. Even if the emperor has another son now, it will take more than ten or twenty years for him to grow up."

"Comparing them all, who do you think is more qualified to sit in that position than the Ninth Prince?"

Gu Qingning thought, yes.

She said calmly, "It is true that the Ninth Prince is better than the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince in some aspects, but he is far from being as good as Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty is now in his prime, only a few years older than the Ninth Prince."

"If the Ninth Prince wants to ascend to the throne, he has only one way to go, and that is to kill the king and his brother!"

"If you insist on helping him, you will be aiding and abetting the evil, and will also implicate Medicine Valley and Doctor Bai!"

Bai Lan frowned.

Wei Shuhe sighed, "Lan Sheng, I know you really want to be recognized. When you first established Qianji Pavilion, you were scolded by your master, and you have always felt resentful."

"But you shouldn't use your exquisite craftsmanship to create something that will cause people to become homeless and miserable."

"We don't know who the future crown prince will be. But the current emperor is a wise ruler."

"Do you want to be the executioner of the wicked, to harm the wise rulers, and to harm the common people of the world?"

One of them plays the good guy and the other plays the bad guy.

They were all familiar people, so Bai Lansheng was still shaken.

Bai Lansheng: "But I have already agreed to cooperate with the Ninth Prince."

Gu Qingning: "To what extent have you cooperated? Has he asked you to take action against His Majesty or other members of the royal family?"

Bai Lansheng shook his head. "Not yet. The Ninth Prince doesn't trust me that much yet. But he has decided to buy a batch of hidden weapons from the Qianji Pavilion."

If the Ninth Prince monopolized these hidden weapons.

Then his assassination activities might become easier to carry out in the future.

Bai Lansheng looked around and added, "But I stayed here for too long today. I'm afraid he won't trust me anymore."

Gu Qingning: "He is suspicious by nature, so it's better if he doesn't trust you. This way, you won't be too deeply involved."

Bai Lansheng: "You mean..."

Gu Qingning: "You can continue to do this business with him. You can also come to the clinic often in the future. Tell the Ninth Prince that you and Shu He are old acquaintances. If he wants you to take the opportunity to find out about the young master, you can agree to it."

Bai Lansheng looked at her in surprise, "Are you asking me to be a double agent?"

Gu Qingning shook her head. "No, if you do that, the Ninth Prince won't trust you, and the Young Master won't trust you either. You don't have to be a double agent, but you can reveal your identity and become an independent businessman."

This was exactly what Bai Lan wanted.

When Gu Qingning saw his brows relax, she knew that it was done.

At this time, Qinglan, the guard of the clinic, came in and bowed:

"A group of guards came to the door, claiming to be looking for Master Bai. They should be from the Ninth Prince's Palace."

Bai Lansheng stood up and said, "I have to go back first, Shu He, get me some beauty pills from you."

Wei Shuhe looked at Gu Qingning and nodded.

But before Bai Lansheng left, he asked Gu Qingning: "Is Young Master Lu good to you?"

Gu Qingning answered confidently, "The young master treats me very well."

Bai Lansheng smiled and said, "That's good."

He turned around and followed Wei Shuhe out of the clinic.

Gu Qingning and Lu Jingyu stood at the window, watching their backs as they left.

Lu Jingyu: "I really want to see those mechanisms."

Gu Qingning: "As long as Bai Lansheng passes this test and the Ninth Prince doesn't dare to trust him wholeheartedly, the rest will be much easier."

Qianji Pavilion wants to do business, but the Ninth Prince probably doesn't have the ability to swallow all of Qianji Pavilion's hidden weapons.

Of course, whether this matter will succeed depends on how big Bai Lansheng’s ambition is.

After Bai Lansheng was picked up by the Ninth Prince's men, he returned to the Ninth Prince's Mansion in a very low-key manner.

The Ninth Prince was on the verge of getting angry, and the veins on the back of his hands that were holding the armrest of the wheelchair were bulging.

Qiu Shui advised in a low voice: "Your Highness, don't worry. Bai Lansheng is originally from Medicine Valley, so he naturally knows Wei Shuhe from the clinic. Wait for him to come back and listen to what he has to say before making a decision."

Ninth Prince: "I spent so much effort to finally contact him. If he is used by others, it will be disadvantageous to us!"

Qiu Shui: "You are afraid of the Sixth Prince, and that clinic is run by Madam Lu Jingyu."

Lu Jingyu is His Majesty's man.

They have already arranged people in the palace, and those new concubines will definitely not be able to give birth to a prince.

These hidden weapons are mainly used to deal with things outside the palace. They should not attract the emperor's attention for the time being, so there is no need to worry about Lu Jingyu.

We received a delegation of envoys from southern Xinjiang a few days ago. These days, we are finalizing the content of the peace talks, which is a sensitive time.

They can't be careless.

Bai Lansheng is back.

He had removed his makeup, revealing his true masculine appearance, and bowed to the Ninth Prince.

"I'm sorry to have made His Majesty worried and concerned."

Ninth Prince: "Didn't we agree that you wouldn't show up for a while? Why did you go to that clinic?"

Bai Lansheng showed an unspeakable expression on his face.

The Ninth Prince subconsciously asked, "Why, what happened?"

Bai Lansheng: "The person in charge of the clinic now is Wei Shuhe. She is my uncle's apprentice and the person I love."

This statement is both sensible and reasonable.

In addition, during this period of time, the Ninth Prince's people had reported that Bai Lansheng had been to that clinic more than once.

But the Ninth Prince still couldn't believe it completely, so he asked:

"Then why didn't you go to see her until now, but couldn't help it today?"

Bai Lansheng: "Because I saw someone go to find her, it was Su Yue, the dean of Beimo Academy."

The Ninth Prince looked at Qiu Shui, and Qiu Shui said, "I heard that Su Yue has been asking for Miss Wei's hand in marriage recently. Imperial Concubine Su was reluctant to agree at first, but now she seems to have relented."

Bai Lansheng said angrily: "How can someone who can't decide who he wants to marry be qualified to marry Shu He?"

Seeing his angry expression, the Ninth Prince finally believed it a little.

He comforted Bai Lansheng in turn, "Miss Wei hasn't agreed to Su Yue yet, you still have a chance. As for a woman, if you treat her well, she will naturally know your feelings."

Bai Lansheng: "Your Majesty, do you have any objection to me meeting Shu He?"

The Ninth Prince choked, then said: "Of course I have no objection, but you have to keep a low profile."

"Yes, don't worry, Your Majesty."

Bai Lansheng gave Qiu Shui some of the beauty pills he brought back from the clinic, and Qiu Shui quickly thanked him.

Bai Lansheng narrowed his peach blossom eyes, smiled and left.

After Bai Lansheng left, the smile on the Ninth Prince's face faded little by little.

"Qiu Shui, in your opinion, can this Bai Lansheng be trusted?"
