Chapter 536 Master, You Are Truly Freed...
Liao Jiu asked, "Wife, why aren't you tired yet? What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about how to cure Lao Yu's cold poison..."
Liao Jiu chuckled and said, "My wife has really put a lot of thought into this. You and King Zhan are not related at all, you've only met him a few times, and yet you've been working day and night to come up with a solution for him..."
Jiang Lianzhu raised her eyes and glared at him. "I've treated so many patients, none of whom were even close friends. I've tried my best to treat them. Didn't I treat them? Look at what you're saying. It's just that it's not that difficult. There's no need to think like that. It's all thanks to the good old fisherman who has been taking care of our daughter for so long and eating so much of his fish..."
In fact, this is not entirely the reason.
The main feeling is that he is very close and has no airs at all.
"Yes, yes, my wife is right."
Jiang Lianzhu continued, "Unlike that Dalangjun or something, his attitude is extremely bad. Do you think he really doesn't believe in my medical skills, or is there some other reason?"
Liao Jiu smiled, "Perhaps he doesn't trust your medical skills. Dalangjun is a very filial person. Among the four adopted sons of the Zhan King, Dalangjun may not be as capable as the others, but his loyalty to the old man is absolute. Otherwise, the Zhan King wouldn't always keep him by his side. He was the one who served the Zhan King even when he was seriously ill."
Jiang Lianzhu uttered an "oh," "But he's very hostile towards me and Nanbao. I don't know why. Could it be that he's afraid that if we get too close to the War King, we'll take away his favor? Is there such a stingy man in the world?"
If it were a woman, she would believe this situation would happen, but would a man also have this idea?
Still such a mature adult man!
Liao Jiu laughed, "That shouldn't be the case! Forget it, don't think about it, never mind him, we are not friends with him, if he doesn't like us, we won't like him either, right, wife."
Jiang Lianzhu snorted twice. "That's right. Even if we're not allowed to go, I still want to go. The War King is so famous and powerful. I'm happy to treat him for free. People with real abilities should live a long life. Not a short life. A short life is a loss to the world."
Liao Jiu was happy, "Yes, yes, my wife is right."
Jiang Lianzhu asked him again, "What should you do when you report Nanbao's case to the Six Gates? Do you need any witnesses? If you do, the War King's Gray Guards should cooperate..."
"No need. Let's see if the Emperor Xuan can slap the Inner Guards in the face during tomorrow's morning court session. Regarding matters involving the War King, not only the Emperor Xuan, but also the entire court, both civil and military officials, cannot agree. How dare the Inner Guards offend the War King..."
"Is his prestige really that great? Wouldn't it be too great to be a threat to the ruler?" Jiang Lianzhu was shocked.
Liao Jiu said, "Half of Da'an Kingdom was conquered by the War King. What do you think? Before, the Xuan Emperor wanted to give half of the kingdom to the War King, but the War King didn't want it. So, the Xuan Emperor gave the royal family the surname Xuan, and the highest number of titles was given to the kings of other surnames. The War King really didn't want it. If he wanted it, it would be extremely easy. He only needed a city as his fiefdom. The Xuan Emperor had previously given him a provincial capital, but the War King only wanted a small city, not a prosperous one, so that he could guard the border more easily."
Jiang Lianzhu sighed and wanted to say something, but felt that there was nothing to say.
I just feel that this person has a noble character and can escape the curse of power. He is truly a god-like figure.
Unfortunately, he is suffering from a serious illness. If he cannot be cured, he will not live long.
God is jealous of talented people.
Died young in his prime.
If the War King died, the royal family of Da'an would be in such a mess that they estimated that if the internal strife was not over, external troubles would come again.
Liao Jiu continued to reveal shocking news, "Also, none of the four adopted sons of the War King have married. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Reassure the royal family. If they don't get married and have no offspring, the War King's lineage will be without successors, and will no longer threaten the royal family's status. The War King is a man of noble character, not greedy for power and splendor. What if one of his descendants is greedy? If there are no offspring, that's all that will happen."
Jiang Lianzhu was speechless.
"Is this one of the reasons why the War King didn't remarry?"
"No, the War King never remarried because of his long-lasting love, and his four adopted sons were forbidden from marrying. It was his rule. He said that if they married, they would sever their ties with him, be stripped of their title of Langjun, become commoners, and no longer be used. So, the eldest Langjun is now almost thirty and still hasn't married... The other Langjuns have also reached adulthood and are also single."
Jiang Lianzhu...
"You're so cruel to yourself, and you're also so cruel to your adopted son!"
But what can we say about this matter? The fact that it has come to this point also indirectly shows that not everything is as peaceful as it seems on the surface.
If the royal family really had no fear, why would the War King make such a rule?
After all, people's hearts are no longer the same as they used to be.
***
The next day, just as Liao Jiu had expected, the fact that the Inner Guards clashed with Prince Zhan and attempted to attack the young lady of Prince Xiang's Mansion in Prince Zhan's villa caused a great response in the court.
Emperor Xuan immediately reprimanded the chief of the Inner Guards, Eunuch Si.
Eunuch Si explained to Emperor Xuan that he had not issued such an order. He only asked his men to investigate the clues that someone broke into the Inner Guard Palace at night. He did not expect that he would violate the villa of King Zhan and offend the king. He said that he would go back and punish them severely.
He also promised to personally go to the Prince Xiang's Mansion to apologize to the young lady of the Prince Xiang's Mansion, etc...
After the morning court session, Emperor Xuan also called the adopted son of the War King, Da Langjun Xuanming, to the imperial study to comfort him and explain things to him.
No one knows what was said in detail, but when they came out, Xuanhuang saw Dalang off.
Dalangjun's steps were brisk.

Report to Liao Jiu to the right.
"I saw the eldest princess's carriage at the palace gate. It seemed like she was waiting for the eldest son. After the eldest son came out, the princess had someone call him over. I had nothing better to do, so I followed him all the way. Guess what happened..."
Jiang Lianzhu is seeing patients in the clinic.
Liao Jiu was watching over the cubs in the yard, and preparing food for the snow wolves...
To the right, he came quietly along the wall.
Report the news to his master.
"Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me."
"I heard the eldest princess thanking Xuanming! She asked Xuanming if he had saved her that night, and if the people from Prince Zhan's Palace had discovered something and specially went to the Inner Guard Palace to rescue her..."
Liao Jiu stopped what he was doing and asked, "What did Xuanming say?"
"Xuanming said that Prince Zhan's Mansion is loyal to the royal family, and protecting the princess is his responsibility..."
Liao Jiu...
"Xuan Ming said that?"
"Yes, anyway, it was all a bunch of nonsense, and I didn't quite understand it. Then, the eldest princess became very excited and started crying. Someone came behind her, so I left. When I left, the two of them looked very affectionate and intimate. I think the eldest princess is no longer possessed by the snake woman, but her brain is getting worse and worse. Master, don't worry, the eldest princess looks like she has found a new lover. Master, you are really relieved..."
