Chapter 80 Li Laosi wants to improve
Jiang Wan's eyes flickered as the other party spoke.
So the prince died this time?
Thinking about that gentle, elegant and handsome young man, who is in the prime of his life, I can't help but sigh.
Sure enough, can’t people fight against fate?
I often kept an eye on Li Yuanxiu, always wondering if I could save him. But I never expected that he would die from the poison of this heartbreak grass.
There is no good solution in modern times, let alone in this backward ancient times?
Jiang Wan felt a little upset, not only because of Li Yuanxiu, but also because of her worries about the future of the Jiang family. If Li Yuanxiu died this time according to the plot, would the future of their Jiang family be changed?
What kind of crap is that stupid author with a hole in his brain writing? He doesn't let good people live, but has to make room for the idiot male protagonist?
"Do you know how the prince was poisoned?"
Li Chengxiu nodded his head.
"Big brother was implicated by that unlucky guy, Lao Liu! I don't know who wanted to attack Lao Liu, but Big brother was unlucky enough to fall for it."
Sure enough, it's related to that bastard Li Shenxiu! Jiang Wan frowned, feeling that something was amiss.
"Tell me more about what happened at that time?"
Li Chengxiu looked towards the door and saw that the second and third sons were playing in the yard and the servants were quite far away. Only then did he feel at ease and began to chatter.
"After we beat him up yesterday, wasn't he rescued by Shadow? I was worried that he'd come back to complain to Father, so I went over early this morning to remind him to keep his mouth shut.
Then as I entered the yard, I saw my eldest brother there. I couldn’t hear clearly what they were saying because I was far away. They stopped talking after I went in.
My brother felt a little cold, so he drank a cup of hot tea before leaving, and then he got poisoned."
"Is there poison in the tea?"
"OK."
"and you…"
“It’s not me!”
Not knowing what he suddenly thought of, Li Chengxiu quickly explained.
"I didn't poison you. I just walked in and my butt didn't even touch the chair. The eunuchs and palace maids can all testify to this!"
"I didn't say it was you! Do you have the brains to plot against the prince?"
Jiang Wan said something to him in a bad mood before continuing to ask.
"Then did you notice what Li Shenxiu was like at that time?"
"You are suspicious,"
Li Chengxiu shook his head in disbelief.
"It wasn't Lao Liu who poisoned me. He drank it himself and is still lying in bed. I was the only one who didn't drink it."
"So he was poisoned too?"
"Yes. But he's not in serious trouble. Uncle Yunyue said that Lao Liu is in good health and the poison he was exposed to is only mild. He'll be fine once he spits it out.
It's because of him that my elder brother has suffered such bad luck. I don't know what will happen this time! My brother asked me to go back to the palace as soon as I can send you off. I can't come out to see you during this period.
I guess you probably can't go to the palace to study, so just stay home and don't run around, Sister Wan. I'll bring you some little gadgets to cheer you up later, okay?"
He has a silly personality, but he still tries to imitate his brother's way of coaxing his wife, and tries to coax his sweetheart in a very insincere way.
Jiang Wan didn't call on him, but just gave him direct instructions.
"Don't wander around the palace. Stay still and don't cause any trouble for the Imperial Concubine. And one more thing, please give your brother a message for me."
"What?"
Jiang Wan whispered in Li Chengxiu's ear, and he frowned and asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Don't worry about it. Just tell your brother what's going on. He'll know what to do. Go back now while it's still early to avoid unnecessary trouble."
"You're looking down on me again. I'm actually quite smart, you know? I just don't usually like to show it."
"I know, I know. Li Jia Silang is indeed very smart and good-looking. Who in the capital doesn't know this? Go back to the palace quickly."
The eldest daughter of the Jiang family, who had inherited her mother's true teachings, coaxed the Fourth Prince into a tizzy with just a few sweet words.
"Hehehe, alright!"
After saying goodbye to his mother-in-law, he rode back to the palace at full speed, and rushed to his brother without stopping.
"A single move is half the battle."
Li Yanxiu murmured and repeated it in his mouth.
"Does Wanjie have anything else to say?"
"The rest of the words were spoken to me, and this one sentence is for you."
To be honest, although Li Chengxiu is young, he is very narrow-minded. He is not very happy that his younger sister has too much connection with his biological brother.
Perhaps it was because he had foolishly wanted to marry his younger sister to his older brother before, so every time he saw his younger brother's beautiful face, he felt a little envious and jealous.
"Brother, isn't this what's said in the military manual? Is Wanjie trying to remind us of something?"
Li Yanxiu gave his brother a strange look.
"She wasn't reminding us, she was reminding me."
"I was the one who brought this message back to you. If you want to do something without me, I definitely won't let you do it!"
This kid is a little bit broken.
In the past, he didn’t think it was a big deal to be a little dumber than his brother, but ever since he fell in love with a smart girl, he really wants to have a second brain development!
Oh yes, Li Chengxiu certainly didn’t know there was such a high-end saying, but his desire to improve was absolutely sincere and strong.
"Brother, what do you want to do? Just tell me."
The look on his brother's face was very persistent, so Li Yanxiu could only sigh and compromise.
"Oh, just don't cause me any trouble."
“No!”
"Okay then, let's go."
The two brothers got up and went out.
Sunset again and again, the sun quietly climbed through two cycles in the sky.
The atmosphere in the entire Chengqian Hall was extremely depressing and tense, and it slowly spread to the entire palace, and even to the court and the capital.
The Qin family's old house.
Inner courtyard.
Qin Zhenning knelt in front of his mother with an expressionless face. The serious face of the old lady of the Qin family was visibly filled with anger.
"Impossible! That is the heritage passed down by my Qin family. I will not give it to you. Stop talking nonsense and go back."
"Mother, now that the old dynasty has passed and the new one has begun, everything is changing anew. Although the Qin family was lucky enough to avoid being swept up in the turmoil, it has already distanced itself from the current powerful and influential forces. If our descendants fail to make progress within three or two generations, have you ever considered the consequences?"
Although his eyebrows did not move and his voice was very cold, the words he said touched the tense string in Madam Qin's heart.
"Now is the perfect opportunity to enter the game. As long as I can save the crown prince, it will be the best shortcut for me to smoothly enter the official career.
Didn't you and my father always want me to enter the government? Now that I'm willing to listen to you, why are you so reluctant to let go of that rootless plant?
"That's ridiculous!"
Old Madam Qin twirled the rosary in her hand fiercely.
"When you were young and passed the imperial examination, we naturally hoped that you would rise to prominence, and we were obliged to do whatever it took to pave the way for you.
But you are already so old, don’t you know it in your heart? Not to mention that the world situation is not clear now, what if…”
The old lady didn't say anything she shouldn't have said, but just repeated it in a firm tone.
"That snow lotus is a rare treasure in the world. Using it now would be a waste of our family's chance. I disagree!"
