"It doesn't matter. Our relationship with the Qin family is not good to begin with. I just like seeing them getting anxious when they need help from us."
"Awu, what are you talking about?" Zhou Canglan, who was confused by what was being heard, couldn't help but interrupt.
"Awu, are you familiar with Divine Doctor Xuanying? Could he be your master?"
The legend of this miraculous doctor Xuanying was widely spread, and his medical skills were said to be beyond compare.
Qin Wu was able to find the real cause of the Empress Dowager's illness in front of a group of imperial doctors and make her condition better, so her medical skills are definitely extraordinary.
He knew that Qin Wu had sought out doctors everywhere for Qin Sumu, and he was not surprised at all that she knew the genius doctor Xuanying.
"Yes, I am quite familiar with him." Qin Wu agreed with Zhou Canglan's words, but did not say that she was the Xuanying Divine Doctor.
Thanking Zhou Canglan is one thing, but trusting him completely is another.
Seeing that Qin Wu had no intention of bringing it up again, he tactfully didn't ask any further questions.
After they had almost finished eating, Qin Wu said to Zhou Canglan, "Third Prince, there is something I am not sure whether I should boldly mention to you."
...
...
"Awu, just speak frankly. You have always been very courageous." Zhou Canglan teased, looking up and drinking the wine in his hand, but his peach blossom eyes looked at her too passionately.
People who don’t know how romantic he is might think he has a deep love for Qin Wu.
"If I'm not mistaken, after the spring, the emperor should select a candidate for the crown prince and start the process of appointing a successor."
Qin Wu brought up this matter.
Zhou Canglan's casual and unfocused look suddenly became serious. He sat up straight and said in a serious tone, "Awu, discussing this matter will not do you any good! It may even lead to your own death. You know that."
“There are no outsiders here.”
Qin Wu’s words also made Yang Zhanying’s eyes brighten.
"Why do you think my father will prepare to appoint a crown prince after the spring?" Zhou Canglan was very curious.
"The Emperor is already old. He has only three sons, except for those who have died and those who have not yet been born."
"Plus, the peace agreement signed between the four countries is about to expire, and the provocations from the enemy borders are becoming more frequent. If we don't appoint a crown prince soon, the Great Zhou will easily face internal and external troubles."
"In addition, I heard from the grapevine that the eldest prince captured the Northern Liao general Tuoba Han and forced the Northern Liao to give in. In exchange for 10,000 cattle and horses, 3 million silver taels, and the Northern Liao princess coming to marry him, he released Tuoba Han."
"The eldest prince has made great contributions. The emperor will definitely summon him back to the capital after the New Year."
"The eldest prince has made great contributions. He is most likely to become the crown prince. Moreover, the eldest prince is the queen's son."
But there is a secret: the eldest prince is not the emperor's son.
When the crown prince was appointed, Concubine Yun revealed that the eldest prince was not of royal descent.
But Qin Wu was not very clear whether the eldest prince was a dragon seed, as he was imprisoned in the Qi family for a period of time.
When she learned the news, the queen had been banished to the cold palace and the eldest prince had been sentenced to death.
Concubine Yun's son, the Second Prince, became the most likely candidate to be the Crown Prince.
Coupled with the support of the Qin family, it was almost certain that the Second Prince would become the Crown Prince. If Qin Yinnuan had not discovered that the Second Prince had a mistress and made a big fuss about it, and because the Qin family felt sorry for her, the Second Prince would not have been exiled because of her.
Or maybe Qin Yinnuan deliberately wanted to destroy the second prince, disrupt the crown prince of the Great Zhou, and cause civil strife.
As for the third prince Zhou Canglan, because he had always been a dissolute playboy and his biological mother died early, he did not have much power and the emperor did not particularly value him.
Apart from his romantic and unrestrained nature, he had not done anything earth-shattering, so Qin Wu did not pay much attention to him.
She was driven out of the Qin family and went to the border and never heard any news about him. When she found out that Qin Yinnuan was colluding with Southern Xinjiang to destroy the Great Zhou, she came back to the Qin family to expose Qin Yinnuan. She didn't know what Zhou Canglan's situation was.
If he hadn't died, he would be the only one who could inherit the throne.
But she died, and I don’t know what happened after her death. It’s possible that the Great Zhou was destroyed by Southern Xinjiang, and Zhou Canglan might have died too...
Qin Wu did not say that the eldest prince might not be the emperor's son.
Yang Zhanying continued, "Then the position of crown prince should belong to the eldest prince."
"Qin Wu, where did you get this news? I haven't even heard of it." Yang Zhanying's uncle is in Beiliao.
The first time the eldest prince went to the battlefield, it was his uncle who took him.
So Qin Wu knew more about the eldest prince than she did, and she was truly shocked and confused.
Because her uncle hasn't sent any letters to her grandfather yet.
Of course Qin Wu couldn't say that she had a previous life.
"I got it from other sources."
It seems that the dark web specializes in selling all kinds of information. Yang Zhanying understood it and did not ask any more questions.
Instead, he looked at Qin Wu, wondering what she wanted to do. Could it be that he wanted to instigate the Third Prince to rebel?
But it's impossible to imagine, Qin Wu is not that kind of person.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have said these words to Zhou Canglan in front of her.
She should first listen to what Qin Wu wanted to do.
Without waiting for Qin Wu to continue, Zhou Canglan said, "Awu, royal affairs are very dangerous. No matter what you want to do, I hope you don't join in."
"Are you afraid? Don't you want to fight for the position of Crown Prince?" Qin Wu asked, "Are you really willing to be suppressed for the rest of your life, to be a playboy, and even to lose your life one day?"
Zhou Canglan poured himself a glass of fruit wine and smiled, "What's wrong with being a playboy?"
"You, don't you want to find out who killed your mother?"
Come prepared.
Qin Wu's sharp question instantly made the atmosphere on the scene tense.
Zhou Canglan's hand holding the wine glass suddenly exerted force and the glass broke into pieces.
But he smiled nonchalantly, "My mother died a long time ago. The dead are dead, and the living just need to live well..."
"If you really don't care, then forget it. I won't tell you the news of your mother's death." Qin Wu did not force him. She got him another wine glass and poured him some wine.
The moment Qin Wu took back the wine jug, Zhou Canglan grabbed her wrist and stared at her closely.
Qin Wu did not struggle, but looked at him with clear eyes.
Yang Zhanying bent down as much as possible to avoid being hurt by the two men's pulling on her as she was in the middle.
Royal secrets, is this something she can listen to? She had to listen.
After a long while, Zhou Canglan spoke, "Awu, do you have any information about who murdered my mother?" His gentle and hoarse voice sounded a little heavy.
"Don't you want revenge? I know, you can't do anything to the other party with your current status, so it's better not to know, so as not to get impulsive and kill yourself."
Qin Wu's tone was calm and composed, and she was well-intentioned and considerate of him.
He knew clearly that Qin Wu was deceiving him and setting him up.
But……
"Awu, I know what you want to do. You can ask me to be your backer, but don't get involved in the royal family's affairs." Zhou Canglan's tone was full of helplessness, but his eyes were doting. "It's very dangerous. I will be worried about you."
If you don't have enough self-control, you will probably be bewitched by his romantic and affectionate look.
"The Third Prince is a smart man, so I choose you as my future backer. Of course, if you can't be my backer, I will choose someone else..."
She is now showing that she wants to stand on his side.
If Zhou Canglan refuses, she can still choose the second prince or the eldest prince.
Then there will be opposition.
