The Doctor's Concubine: Kick the Scumbag King and I Want to Be a Dandy Girl in the Capital

Xiu Lingce had just finished exercising and was talking to Xiu Yuancang about Jingxin Temple.

Seeing Xiu Luoran running in, Xiu Lingce was stunned:

"Luoluo, what's the hurry?"

Xiu Luoran asked: "Brother, do you know Qiu Guanbai?"

"We know each other, what's wrong?"

Xiu Yuancang said: "I heard that he died of intestinal abscess not long ago."

"Brother, what is the character of this Qiu Guanbai?"

"He's a good guy, I guess."

Xiu Luoran asked again: "Brother, your leg is broken. Was it caused by the enemy on the battlefield?"

"Yes."

"Then do you think there is something strange about this?"

Xiu Lingce and Xiu Yuancang looked at each other quickly and shook their heads.

There was a melee between the enemy and us, and a knife came slashing at him. He couldn't dodge in time and his leg was broken. What's so strange about that?

Xiu Yuancang hurriedly asked: "Luoluo, tell me quickly, have you received any news?"

Xiu Luoran handed the letter in his hand to Xiu Lingce. After Xiu Lingce read it, he handed it to Xiu Yuancang.

After reading the letter, the father and son had the same expression, both were shocked, and both had gloomy faces and remained silent.

The room was very quiet. Xiu Luoran sat down slowly, waiting for the results of her father and brother's thinking.

After a long time, Xiu Lingce suddenly slammed the table, startling Xiu Lingran:

"Brother, have you thought of something?"

Xiu Lingce said, "Luoluo, I have thought of something suspicious. You go and do your thing first. Dad and I will sort things out and tell you when we have the result."

"Okay, big brother, tell me the result. If anyone dares to bully our Xiu family, I will make him pay!"

Xiu Luoran left, and she went to see the three-story house according to the address on the title deed.

It is a very grand house, which is Qiu Guanbai's residence in the capital.

Xiu Luoran went to the small house where Qiu Guanbai was treated. Qiu Guanbai and Dong Qing had already left.

Xiu Luoran moved the big bed away, opened the entrance to the secret room, and walked in.

This secret room is not big, about the same size as the vegetable cellar dug by the northerners in Xiu Luoran’s previous life, with seven or eight large boxes inside.

The secret room is very dry and suitable for storing medicinal materials.

Xiu Luoran took a look and saw ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, deer antler, agarwood, musk, snow lotus, ambergris, cordyceps sinensis and so on.

Xiu Luoran picked out the medicinal herbs in each box.

She picked out some of the best quality of each type that were particularly precious and rare and put them into the small space.

It is quite precious and rare, and can be stored for a certain period of time, so it is kept in the secret room for future use.

The remaining ones, although precious, will lose their efficacy or become ineffective if they are not used. Sell them and don't waste them.

After cleaning and tidying up, Xiu Luoran went home.

She came to find Xiu Lingce to see the result, only to see Xiu Lingce and Xiu Yuancang sitting there with stern faces. They watched her go in without saying a word.

"Brother, have you found the person who broke your leg?"

Xiu Lingce said: "Although I can't be sure for now, it's almost certain."

Xiu Yuancang looked at Xiu Luoran:

"Luoluo, our capital city seems very peaceful at the moment, but in fact, there are turbulent waves secretly.

If our family were just ordinary people and we could just focus on living our lives, that would be the end of it.

However, we are already caught in the vortex, and it is impossible to stay out of it.

You are also a member of the family, and you are very likely to be affected. I will tell you some things so that you don’t get confused. "

"Dad, tell me."

“Your eldest brother was very smart and cute when he was young.

When he was five years old, the third prince was six years old.

The Third Prince's grandfather, Qiu Fuzhi, the Queen's father, liked your eldest brother very much and proposed to the Emperor that your eldest brother be the Third Prince's study companion. The Emperor agreed.

From that time on, our Xiu family was tied to the Third Prince.

No matter what we think, in the eyes of outsiders, we belong to the Third Prince."

The third prince Yi Jingpin?

Xiu Luoran thought, no wonder the eldest brother cares so much about the third prince, it turns out they have a bond since childhood.

Xiu Yuancang added: "At present, whether in terms of ability, character, or background, the Third Prince is the best choice for the Crown Prince.

The eldest prince is not capable enough, the fourth prince is no match for the second prince, the fifth and sixth princes have a very clear attitude and do not want to get involved, the seventh prince is the third prince's younger brother and will not compete with his brother, and the other princes are still young.

In the final analysis, it is actually a competition between the second prince and the third prince.

The second prince is the eldest, and the third prince is the legitimate son. They each have their own advantages."

Xiu Luoran asked, "Dad, what is the character of the Second Prince like?"

Since he can compete with the Third Prince, there is no doubt that he has the ability.

"On the surface, it makes sense, but in fact, he is cold-faced, cruel and brutal."

"Dad, so the one who wants to harm my brother is the Second Prince's men?"

Xiu Yuancang didn't say anything. Xiu Luoran looked at his elder brother and then at his father:

"Could it be that the Third Prince's men did it?"

Xiu Lingce nodded: "My father and I are now certain that it was the Third Prince's men who did it.

I just don’t know if the Third Prince knows about this.”

"So, you and Dad are having a hard time now?"

"Correct."

Xiu Luoran smiled: "Dad, big brother, do you think you would be very sad if it was really the Third Prince who ordered it?

Do you feel that your sincerity has been misplaced?

The person you are ready to sacrifice your life for is actually trying to do something bad to you?"

Xiu Yuancang and Xiu Lingce nodded at the same time.

Xiu Luoran told them his opinion:

"Dad, big brother, I feel the opposite of you. I think this is a good thing."

Seeing the puzzled looks from his father and brother, Xiu Luoran further explained:

"Brother, let's make an assumption.

If the person who harmed you is really the Third Prince's man, and the Third Prince knows about this later, I believe he will pretend not to know."

Xiu Lingce reacted quickly: "I am already disabled. No matter what the purpose of the person who harmed me is, as long as this person is loyal to the Third Prince and is still useful, the Third Prince will protect him."

"Correct."

Seeing Xiu Lingce was a little sad, Xiu Luoran said again:

"Brother, you don't have to be sad. Think about it the other way around. If you were the third prince, would you dispose of someone who is loyal and useful to you in order to please a disabled person?"

Xiu Lingce said nothing.

"Brother, let me tell you, you may have a friend who is a prince and you are always open with him, but you will never have a friend who is an emperor and you are always open with him.

The emperor is a creature who can only share happiness but not suffering. You cannot measure him with normal methods and principles.

Look at all the emperors since ancient times. Which one of them has true friends? Even the loyal ministers are loyal to the country, not to the emperor.

The third prince Yi Jingpin may be the future emperor."

Xiu Lingce and Xiu Yuancang looked at Xiu Luoran in surprise. They had never heard of such a theory.

But when I think about it carefully, Xiu Luoran is absolutely right.

Seeing that his father and brother had listened carefully, Xiu Luoran continued:

"Dad, big brother, think about it, if a country now offers to exchange five cities for the third or fifth prince, do you think the emperor will do it?"
