Ling Xiao returned to the courtyard and saw Zuo Xiangning playing with Brother Hong.

"You're back?" Zuo Xiangning stood up and faced him, "Everything in the palace has been done."

"Yes." Ling Xiao nodded and took Brother Hong into his arms, "The new emperor has ascended the throne, your sister has been named queen, and the emperor's eldest grandson has been named prince. Today we have started moving into the palace, and we still have to settle in for two more days. , will come to pick up the prince."

"What about Liu Qian?" Zuo Xiangning asked worriedly.

"At the Queen's request, the Emperor placed Liu Qian in the Imperial Hospital." Ling Xiao touched Brother Hong's forehead and whispered: "I will ask Liu Qian to diagnose the Prince's pulse later. .”

"That's fine." Zuo Xiangning nodded and said, "Brother Hong is no longer feverish, but he is always lack of energy. It is safer to let Dr. Liu take a look."

Before dinner, when it was just getting dark, Ling Xiao walked in with Liu Qian.

Liu Qian was startled when he saw Zuo Xiangning.

He only heard Ling Xiao say that he came to see the little prince, but he didn't expect to see Zuo Xiangning, who had been away from Beijing for many days.

Liu Qian checked the prince's pulse and frowned: "I will give the prince another prescription and bring the medicine to you tomorrow."

"Brother Hong seems to be in good health. Why do you need to change the prescription?" Zuo Xiangning frowned and said, "Doctor Liu, I trust you the most. You must not hide anything from me."

Doctor Liu looked at Ling Xiao.

Zuo Xiangzhang raised his eyebrows in confusion. Is there any betrayal in this?

"I'm going to change my clothes. Doctor Liu will stay here for dinner before going back." Ling Xiao stood up knowingly and not only walked out the door himself, but also took Bingyu and others out with him.

When Doctor Liu saw that there was no one else in the room, he whispered to Zuo Xiangning: "The prince was poisoned when he was just one month old and injured his heart and lungs. I have been treating him with medicine for the past few months, but the child is too young. I don’t dare to take medicine, so I can only regulate it slowly and carefully, but I checked the pulse just now and found that the prince’s condition seems to have improved a lot, so I decided to change the medicine and take it for a while to see.”

Zuo Xiangning was shocked, "Can it be cured?"

Liu Qian pondered for a moment and then realized: "Given time, it should be cured."

Zuo Xiangning was relieved when she heard that he could be cured, "Who else knows about Brother Hong's illness?"

"Only the emperor and the empress know." Liu Qian added: "The late emperor did not know about this."

Zuo Xiangning's heart was in chaos, and she couldn't help but think of the past and present life. King Chu was always so anxious to have another son for him. Is it because Brother Hong was sick?

Especially in the previous life, not long after King Chu ascended the throne, Concubine Liu gave birth to a son, and then her sister and Brother Hong died suddenly.

"Was Brother Hong very ill before?" Zuo Xiangning asked with some confusion.

She saw that her sister didn't show too much anxiety?

"When I was first poisoned, my condition was really serious. I didn't dare to tell the queen the truth. I only told the emperor. The emperor asked me to tell the queen only three points about my condition."

Zuo Xiangning's doubts were immediately resolved.

The King of Chu in his previous life, who was the emperor who had just ascended the throne, knew that Brother Hong was seriously ill, so he began to plan to have another son. The eldest son of the Zuo family had passed away, and Zuo's father had supported the eldest prince. In the heart of the King of Chu, , the Zuo family is already a useless abandoned son.

So Zuo Xiangning was insulted by Gu Zhiqing, and she only secretly plotted to murder Zuo Xiangrong's mother and son, who had no defense at all.

Thinking of this, Zuo Xiangning couldn't help but feel secretly afraid.

Does the emperor still have any feelings for her sister?

When such a heartless and unjust person becomes the emperor, what will happen to her sister and the people of the Zuo family in the future?

"Doctor Liu, I have something to ask of you. I wonder if you can agree to it?" Zuo Xiangning looked at Liu Qian with some embarrassment.

"Girl, if you have anything to do, just ask me." Liu Qian said: "I won't say anything about the affection you treated me and Xiaowu before. Even if the new emperor ascends the throne this time, I can only be saved because of..."     Liu Qianchuan After taking a breath, he swallowed the words "Jingyuan Hou Lingxiao" and changed his words: "It's all relying on the queen. If you have any orders, just tell me."

Zuo Xiangning stopped being polite to him and said bluntly: "In two days, I will send the prince to the palace. At that time, I will ask the queen to invite you into the palace to take the prince's pulse. At that time, I want you to Tell them all that the prince’s body has recovered.”

"But the prince is young, so he needs to take more care of him in his daily life..." Liu Qian said a little worriedly.

"I will explain this matter to the Queen secretly, and I will also ask people to take good care of it." Zuo Xiangning said: "I know the seriousness of this place."

Liu Qian immediately understood what Zuo Xiangning meant.

She didn't want the current emperor to know about the prince's condition!

Zuo Xiangning already knew from Bingyu that Bingyu was hurrying back to the capital, and that Xiaowu and Zhang Tu would come to Beijing a few days later.

Without waiting for Liu Qian to ask, she told Liu Qian, "Xiao Wu and Zhang Tu should be able to arrive in the capital in two days. Then I will ask Zhang Tu to take Xiao Wu back."

"Thank you, girl." Liu Qian saluted Zuo Xiangning and exited the room.

Turning his head, he saw Ling Xiao standing under the eaves with his hands behind his back.

Liu Qian froze there, wondering if he heard what he said to Zuo Xiangning.

He stared at Ling Xiao who was wearing a mask.

He didn't know what the relationship between Ling Xiao and Zuo Xiangning was now, and he didn't know whether Ling Xiao would choose to side with the new emperor for money and status.

Liu Qian suddenly realized that his current situation seemed to be even more unsafe than when the late emperor was there.

Ling Xiao waved his hand to him and walked towards the courtyard gate first.

Liu Qian pursed his lips and followed Ling Xiao to the pavilion in the garden.

A good banquet has been prepared there.

"Mr. Liu, please sit down." Ling Xiao pointed to the chair and said to Liu Qian with a smile: "Mr. Liu has been tired these days. The two of us will have a light meal, and then I will have someone take you back."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis." Liu Qiangong cupped his hands and sat down.

After three rounds of drinking, Liu Qian's cheeks were slightly red from drinking, so Ling Xiao stopped pouring him wine.

He asked someone to bring Liu Qian a cup of strong tea. After Liu Qian finished drinking it, he said, "I would like to recommend Mr. Liu to be the prince's teacher."

"What?" Liu Qian was startled for a moment and said hurriedly: "How can I be qualified to be the prince's teacher if I am so virtuous and capable? This is absolutely impossible."

"Mr. Liu's knowledge and character are recognized by the late emperor. Even the emperor praised you highly. What's more, the queen and the fourth girl also trust you very much. It will be perfect for the prince to have you to teach him in the future." Ling Xiao whispered.

Liu Qian looked at the man in front of him. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he understood what Ling Xiao meant from his eyes.

Ling Xiao must have heard what he and Zuo Xiangning said just now.

He has tied himself to the boat of the prince, the queen, and Zuo Xiangning.

And it was obvious that he, Ling Xiao, also took sides between the emperor and the queen.

"Since the Marquis values ​​Liu so much, Liu will definitely devote himself to the prince." Liu Qian simply stated his position directly.

Anyway, his life was tied to Zuo Xiangning. Zuo Xiangning stood on the side of the queen and the prince, so naturally he could only follow closely behind.
