Tian Lan left gracefully, leaving only Xiao Shize and Concubine Shu in the room. Concubine Shu's face looked very ugly, and her hands on the table gradually tightened.
"My dear Concubine, what Tian Lan said makes sense. If she is really suspected, all your efforts will be wasted, right?"
Xiao Shize spoke from the side.
"Now that you're well, I'll let you do it."
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Concubine Shu frowned slightly, "Why, do I really have to do it myself?"
She is not stupid. No matter whether what Tian Lan said about being unable to get away is true or not, she cannot let herself be involved.
"But I have more important things to do."
Xiao Shize lowered his voice and told Concubine Shu his plan, looking embarrassed.
"Your Majesty returned to the palace for this matter. Now is the perfect time. Do you really want me to do what you have instructed me to do?"
"That's all."
After a moment of silence, Concubine Shu waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about this."
Revenge for the Xiao family has indeed been her long-cherished wish, but things have not gone as she wished since she returned to the palace. Now that the emperor is still ill and has a bad temper, it is indeed feasible to eliminate both the Mo family and the prince at the same time.
The two talked for a while, and Concubine Shu's doubts were immediately dispelled. She had been worried that Xiao Shize would blame her because of the castration.
It seems that this man is still loyal, otherwise he wouldn't be thinking about what she should do when she returns to the palace.
"Take good care of yourself. Once the crown prince is eliminated, I will have the imperial physician take good care of you."
Xiao Shize nodded, and when Concubine Shu wasn't paying attention, he pressed her sleeping point and fed her the pills given by Tian Lan. After doing everything, he put her on the couch, tucked in the quilt, and then turned and left.
After leaving Concubine Shu's bedroom, Xiao Shize walked along the palace road and saw a familiar figure walking towards him from afar.
When the man approached, Xiao Shize asked in confusion, "Xiao Zhuzi, why are you here?"
He was just about to find Xiao Zhuzi to give him some things, which might be useful if things took a turn for the better with Mo Kang.
"I came looking for you, but I heard you went back to Toffee's place."
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
Xiao Shize looked around, and after confirming that there was no one around, he followed Xiao Zhuzi to a remote palace.
"It's Master Mo's adopted son. I met him today when I left the palace."
"What does meeting him have to do with you coming to see me?"
Xiao Shize looked confused.
"Didn't you say that gambling houses make money quickly?" Little Zhuzi said with a smile, "I told him about this, so he wanted to thank you."
Is this the turning point?
Xiao Shize felt that God had opened his eyes, and he suppressed his excitement.
"Did you tell him it was my idea?"
Little Zhuzi shook his head. "No, I just said that a kind-hearted person told me that he had paid back all the money he owed to the shopkeeper."
"Has it been paid off?"
Xiao Shize felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his head when he heard this. The money had been paid back and Mo Kang's mother's illness had improved. How could he still push Mo Kang into the fire pit?
God has no eyes at all.
"Yeah," Xiao Zhuzi stared at Xiao Shize, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay," Xiao Shize's expression returned to normal, "It's a good thing that I paid it off."
Little Zhuzi also looked very happy.
"Yes, that's why I came to tell you this, to make you happy too, thanks to your idea."
The secret guard who was monitoring all this left silently.
Xiao Shize forced a smile.
"I'm very happy to be able to help him," he said, walking closer to Xiao Zhuzi and handing him a sachet. "Take this. If anything happens to him, give this to him. Remember not to open it."
"Could it be that you can also tell fortunes?"
Little Zhu Zi looked at the brocade bag in amazement, "It contains a secret plan? Don't worry, I won't look at it."
…
Mo Kang paid back the money owed to the shopkeeper, bought some meat and carried it back home.
As soon as he pushed open the wooden door, he saw a person lying on the steps at the door. Looking at the familiar clothes, his face changed drastically. He threw the meat in his hand to the ground and walked forward quickly.
"Mom, mom, what's wrong with you?"
Looking at the blood on the stone steps, Mo Kang carried his mother into the house with trembling hands and went to ask a doctor to come and see her.
"Doctor, how is my mother? Is she okay?"
The doctor sighed and shook his head.
"She survived, but the fall injured her brain and left her with paralysis from the waist down. She'll never be able to get out of bed again."
Mo Kang's lips were trembling. His mother was almost recovered, so why was she like this again?
"Your mother is old, and she should have someone around to take care of her. If she had been discovered in time, this probably wouldn't have happened."
After writing the prescription, the doctor turned and left.
…
After returning from the palace, the Fourth Prince carefully looked at the album given by Concubine Shu. Thinking about Mo Kang's mother, he put down the album, stood up and walked out.
"I thought you were so sleepless that you forgot to eat and sleep," Old Mo walked in with food in his hand, glanced at him, walked into the house, and put the food on the table.
"Come and have something to eat before you see. Did your mother scold you when you went to the palace?"
The Fourth Prince sat at the table and picked up his chopsticks. "Mother only told me the truth and didn't scold me."
"I don't know you, brat?"
Old Mo poured himself a glass of wine and said, "Grandfather is very happy if you are serious about it, but if you are not happy while learning, then it doesn't matter if you don't learn."
"Grandfather, I was struck down by my mother, why are you striking down on me too?"
The Fourth Prince snorted in mock anger.
"A real man must take his responsibilities."
Mr. Mo looked at him in surprise and smiled with relief.
