Chapter 302 This is an opportunity tailor-made for him
Huo Qingchen was still unwilling to give up and asked again, "Is there anything special about that person? Think about it carefully."
This time the driver did not answer immediately, but thought carefully about it.
Seeing him like this, Yu Youning and the other two did not urge him, but just waited quietly.
After waiting for a long time, the driver finally spoke with a look of surprise on his face.
"I remember now!"
"What is it?" Huo Qingchen asked hurriedly.
Although Yu Youning and Chu Huaixu didn't say anything, they looked at the driver eagerly.
Even the King of Nannan stared at the driver without blinking, his eyes full of anticipation.
The driver swallowed and said, "It's just that... that person's earlobe is particularly large, and there is a hole on it..."
Huo Qingchen was stunned. "Big earlobes? And holes?"
What is going on?
Seeing Huo Qingchen's puzzled expression, Yu Youning sighed, "I've told you to study more, but you just won't listen! Only men from Xiliang would pierce this ear."
Chu Huaixu continued Yu Youning's words, "Not only do they pierce their ears, they also wear heavier earrings. Over time, their earlobes become longer and longer, which is what the driver said, making them look bigger."
Huo Qingchen blinked, "Did you read these in books?"
"Yes!" Yu Youning said seriously, "Don't underestimate books. Many things in them are very useful. When you can't travel thousands of miles, reading thousands of books is also a very good choice. It can help us understand the situation in many other places."
The more Huo Qingchen listened, the brighter his eyes became.
"Actually, I've already changed my bad habit of not studying hard!" Huo Qingchen said seriously, "I just haven't had time to read so many books yet. In the future, I will definitely read more and memorize more!"
Prince Nan'an looked at the three of them and coughed lightly.
"Ahem! Your Highness, Little Divine Doctor, based on the characteristics the driver just described, do you think the man on the horse is from Xiliang?"
Prince Nannan brought the topic back on track, and the expressions of Yu Youning and the other two became serious.
Yu Youning nodded, "It should be!"
Chu Huaixu said, "This matter is definitely related to Tuoba Ruoli!"
When Huo Qingchen spoke, he was not so hesitant and said directly, "It must be her who did it! Didn't Youning say that when she looked at Zhu Xuezheng yesterday, her attitude was very rude and her eyes were very unfriendly.
Maybe at that time, she had already held a grudge against Zhu Xuezheng, so she arranged for someone to do what happened today. This person is really evil! Zhu Xuezheng had taught her before! She is simply betraying her teacher and ancestors! How ungrateful! "
After listening to the three people's words, King Nan'an also felt that their analysis was very reasonable.
"But—we have no evidence! Even if we go to her, she probably won't admit it."
Not only the Crown Princess of Xiliang, but also the Xiliang delegation cannot make things too awkward without solid evidence.
If things really get out of hand and the two countries become estranged, won't there be another war?
No one wants to see that scene.
But the King of Nannan was unwilling to let it go like this.
That's his son-in-law!
He almost died, and he felt very angry when he thought about it.
Yu Youning and Chu Huaixu exchanged a glance, and Chu Huaixu said, "Leave this matter to Youning and me. Let's go find Tuoba Ruoli now."
Prince Nannan did not trust others, but he was completely confident in Yu Youning and Chu Huaixu.
"Your Highness, would you like me to send some more people to go with you?"
Chu Huaixu refused, "We're not going to fight, so it's useless to have so many people."
Prince Nannan really wanted to say that after all, he was going to meet the Crown Princess of Xiliang, and he was suspicious of the other party. If there was a conflict, it would be better to bring more people to avoid being at a disadvantage.
But in a moment, King Nannan figured it out.
This is the capital of Dayong!
What is there to worry about in their place in Dayong?
After figuring it out, Prince Nannan said nothing more, but personally escorted Yu Youning and the other two to the gate of the palace.
"Your Highness, little miracle doctor, do you really not want me to go with you?" Prince Nan'an asked again.
Chu Huaixu shook his head decisively, "No need. We're going there now just to investigate the situation. If the prince goes there, it will seem like he already has evidence and wants to go and ask them for an explanation."
King Nan'an also felt that what he said made sense, so he nodded with a heavy face and stood there watching Yu Youning and the other two get on the carriage.
It was not until the carriage gradually went away and disappeared around the corner that the King of Nan'an withdrew his gaze, hurriedly turned around and went back to check on Zhu Xuezhen.
When Prince Nannan rushed back, Zhu Xuezhen had already taken the medicine and looked better than before.
Seeing him like this, King Nannan instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
"How do you feel now?" Prince Nannan asked in a gentle voice.
Zhu Xuezheng smiled at Prince Nan'an and said, "Don't worry, father. I'm much better now. We all know Youning's medical skills."
Of course, King Nannan knew about Yu Youning's medical skills, but he just couldn't feel at ease!
After all, when Zhu Xuezhen was carried back, he looked really scary.
It looked like he was going to die at any moment.
Even when thinking back on it now, Prince Nannan still feels terrified.
Chu Qingran didn't know how many times she had cried. Now, looking at King Nannan, tears began to well up in her eyes again.
"Father, this time it's all thanks to Youning, otherwise...we should thank Youning properly!"
Prince Nan'an nodded, "Of course. I'll think carefully about what kind of gift I should prepare to express our gratitude!"
Yu Youning is not only a good doctor, but also has a good family background. He is also favored by the emperor and the empress. He also has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince following him every day, giving him good things like they are free. I guess Yu Youning would not feel much when he sees these things.
What kind of gift should I give to make Yu Youning like it?
Zhu Xuezhen is also thinking about this issue.
After thinking it over, Zhu Xuezheng said uncertainly, "I think if you want to make Youning happy, you should send her more food!"
It is well known that Yu Youning loves to eat.
Giving gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and porcelain would not make Yu Youning as happy as giving her food.
You can give food as a gift, but it doesn't show how valuable it is...
Prince Nan'an thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his voice and said, "I heard that during the morning court session today, the Crown Prince embarrassed Prince Cheng in public, and Prince Cheng's face turned extremely grim."
Everyone in the room looked at Prince Nan'an strangely, not understanding why he brought up this matter.
Aren’t they talking about giving Youning a thank-you gift?
Why are we talking about the Crown Prince making things difficult for Prince Cheng again?
"Youning and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have offended Prince Cheng these past few days. Or rather, they've accelerated the conflict between Prince Cheng and the Emperor and the Crown Prince. Before it went bad, I didn't really want to get involved in this matter... but now, I want to stand on the side of the Crown Prince and Youning."
"Father!" Zhu Xuezheng exclaimed, "This..."
For many years, Prince Nannan has been indifferent to fame and fortune and has not coveted power at all. Now, because of him, he is involved in the fight between the Crown Prince and Prince Cheng. This makes him feel uneasy!
Looking at Zhu Xuezheng, whose expression was complicated and filled with guilt, Prince Nan'an smiled and said, "You don't have to blame yourself too much. I made this decision not just because of you.
Prince Cheng and I are brothers, and no one knows what kind of person he is better than me.
Back then, he was deeply loved by our father, otherwise he wouldn't have been given so many private soldiers. But at that time, he had a fatal problem, that is, poor health.
The imperial physician once asserted that he would not be able to have children.
In order to maintain the stability of imperial power, the emperor must be healthy. If he cannot even reproduce, he is absolutely not allowed to ascend the throne.
Because of this, he calmly gave up the fight for the throne.
Later, when the current emperor ascended the throne, he helped stabilize the court, and his contributions can be considered great.
But a few years ago, as you saw, Prince Cheng had a son and a daughter.
A man who once had the potential to become emperor, but missed the throne because of the issue of heirs. Now that he has a child, what does he want to do most?
Zhu Xuezhen read so many books, and although he did not enter the court, it does not mean that he did not understand these things.
In fact, when Zhu Xuezhen heard Prince Nannan say this, he understood instantly.
Even Chu Qingran thought of it.
"He definitely wants to... compete for the throne."
Chu Qingran's voice was very soft, as if a louder voice would scare her.
Although her voice was very soft, it still made everyone in the room break out in cold sweats when it reached their ears.
Prince Nan'an smiled helplessly, "So, we are brothers, and we are both princes. If he wants to rebel, I can't just react. I can only choose one of the two."
If you don't choose anyone, there will be no good ending in the end.
It would be better to choose one, maybe it can ensure the peace of the Nan'an Palace for hundreds of years.
Prince Cheng was never considered by Prince Nannan.
Unless he is crazy, he would not risk the lives of his family and Prince Cheng.
He had been thinking about how to find a suitable opportunity to express his position.
But I have never found the right opportunity.
Until today.
Until now.
King Nan'an knew that the opportunity had arrived!
First, the prince and Yu Youning confronted Prince Cheng head-on, then Zhu Xuezhen was seriously injured and was saved by Yu Youning.
This seemed like an opportunity tailor-made for him!
If he was not sure that this matter was not arranged by him, King Nannan himself would have doubted whether he had arranged it in advance.
How could such a coincidence happen in this world!
It seems that the Crown Princess of Xiliang is not so useless.
At least, what she did was unintentionally helping him.
However, this cannot offset the hatred between them.
Zhu Xuezhen was truly on the brink of life and death. This matter absolutely cannot be let go like this!
