After a long while, Prince Ling spoke again: "Don't worry about it for now. Since she has bought a yard there and hired so many servants, she will definitely live in Lingfeng County for a long time.
We’ll talk about it later.”
"Yes, then I will withdraw some of the people over there?"
"Well, the fighting on the border has intensified recently, so we have to speed up the recruitment of soldiers.
Otherwise, if this incident is used by other princes to get ahead, we will miss the opportunity again."
"Yes, I will go and ask about the local recruitment situation immediately, and report back to His Majesty later."
“Report…!”
As soon as the two finished talking, an urgent voice was heard outside the study.
King Ling's face changed. Usually, this kind of situation means something very urgent has happened.
"Come in."
The door of the study was opened, and a man dressed in black strode in and knelt on one knee under Prince Ling's desk!
"My Lord, I have returned from the capital. According to reliable information, the Regent has returned from the dead and is on his way to the capital!"
"What?!"
As soon as the black-clothed man finished speaking, King Ling stood up from the armchair with a look of shock and disbelief on his calm face!
"Is this information reliable?!"
“Yes, it is said that His Majesty has already made some plans for this border issue, and he still asks the Regent to testify and quell the war.
If such a war is dragged on by Beiping Lu, not only the court’s military pay but even military rations will soon be unable to be distributed.
His Majesty also said that if nothing unexpected had happened to the Regent before, Beiping Lu might have been driven out of Canglan long ago. This shows that His Majesty still recognizes and values the Regent.
Even though the Regent was killed in a bombing, His Majesty didn't seem to have any intention of pursuing the matter.
During the time when the Regent was absent, our army suffered defeat after defeat, and the national treasury was already empty due to the famine caused by war and drought.
This time, the princes should have been competing with each other, but suddenly news came out that the regent was on his way back to the capital.
Several princes who received the news have already taken action. Master, what do you think should be done next?"
Upon hearing this, Prince Ling slumped back into the armchair, as if all the strength had been drained from his body.
"This prince has worked hard for many years. Even though I am just a concubine's son, I am still his biological son.
What do you think, father? Why doesn't the emperor have high hopes for us sons and still lets Jun Yumo hold the power?
What on earth is my father thinking? Isn’t he afraid that one day his throne will fall into the hands of Jun Yumo!
Ridiculous, extremely ridiculous! "
Chaoge got up early in the morning and went to Zhou Daqiang's yard with Ziping and Zisu. An San was taken away by Yunchang and Zhang Po early this morning.
When he came over, Zhou Daqiang had already dressed and washed up, and was sitting on the bed waiting for Chaoge.
Liang Chunxiu was sitting on a round stool nearby. The two of them were silent, and seemed to be still sulking over what happened yesterday.
Seeing Chaoge coming in, Liang Chunxiu smiled brightly and quickly stood up to greet her.
"Miss Yun, I'll leave you to me today.
If we can cure Daqiang's leg, we will save our whole family."
The reason why people of this era are obsessed with having sons is, on the one hand, because of the traditional idea of continuing the family line, and on the other hand, because sons are the strong labor force of a family.
Only men can make the greatest contribution to a family.
If Zhou Daqiang's leg can really be cured, it will be Liang Chunxiu's future support and the hope of Zhou Dong and his family.
Chaoge smiled faintly, but without the enthusiasm of yesterday.
"I'll do my best. The treatment will probably take a long time. Go wait in the yard outside. Come back in when I'm done."
When Chaoge said this, the smile on Liang Chunxiu's face froze.
"ah?
I, can I not go out?
This, it's probably not appropriate to leave you and Daqiang alone in this room, right?"
When Chaoge heard this, even the faint smile on his face disappeared.
"Ms. Liang, our young lady is a doctor. If you are like this, then our young lady doesn't have to check Zhou Daqiang's legs."
Zi Su would not tolerate such ulterior motives of doubting her young lady's original intention. Without waiting for Chaoge to speak, she stared at Liang Chunxiu coldly.
Liang Chunxiu didn't expect that Chaoge's maid had a worse temper than Chaoge.
She felt that she hadn't said anything that shouldn't have been said, so why did this maid threaten her right away?
"You go out first. The little pigeon was kind enough to show me his legs. What nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhou Daqiang didn't expect that Chaoge's casual remark was a very reasonable request. How could Liang Chunxiu say such a thing?
"What nonsense did I say?
This, this is the case. Even if she is a doctor, she is still a woman.
She has a good relationship with you, this single man and single woman..."
“Miss Liang, I’m not without temper.
If you doubt our character, that's your business, but this is my home, please leave."
Without waiting for Liang Chunxiu to continue saying anything unpleasant, Chaoge turned around and spoke coldly, interrupting her.
"Humph, our young lady is married, how dare you, a little man, think of my young lady like this?
If my young lady didn't think of the friendship she had with Zhou Daqiang during their journey of fleeing famine, do you think my young lady was a nosy person?
If you keep talking nonsense, just leave our Yun family."
Zhou Daqiang!
He really didn't know that Chaoge actually had a husband, but his fiancée was really too short-sighted.
Why do you have no sense of propriety and when to say what?
Someone like Xiaogezi, even if she was disfigured, would never fall in love with an ordinary man like me!
He really didn't know what Liang Chunxiu was thinking. Why did she go crazy and think like that?
Upon hearing this, Liang Chunxiu looked at Chaoge strangely, and a little embarrassed appeared on her face.
After all, Chaoge did not stop her maid from saying those words to her, so Zisu's words were Chaoge's meaning.
For the sake of Zhou Daqiang's legs, Liang Chunxiu endured it and left the house obediently.
“Both of you go out as well, and no one is allowed to come in and interrupt my treatment.
If anyone outside wants to look for me, no matter how important the matter is, put it aside and wait until I come out."
After Chaoge said this, Zhou Daqiang, who had been feeling ashamed of his fiancée's powerlessness, was moved.
In fact, it only took a few days to escape the famine with Chaoge.
To be honest, for the little help they gave to Chaoge, Chaoge had already repaid them by the time they met them.
Chaoge is now still helping me selflessly.
Zhou Daqiang felt that even if he had to work like a horse for years to repay Chaoge, it would be his duty.
"Yes, the servants will remember it."
Zi Su and Zi Ping also walked out of the house.
Chaoge closed all the doors and windows before returning to Zhou Daqiang's bed.
