"King Changle, you are a waste who was raised with the blood and sweat of the people. You are a scum! As long as I, Qiu Yue, am still alive, I will make sure you die in front of me!"

"King Changle, I curse you to die a miserable death!"

Curses echoed through the alley outside. Lu Changning scratched his ears in the carriage. The curses were so accurate. It would have been better if the curses were not directed at him: "Hurry up and stuff his mouth shut. Take him back quickly. Don't let anyone see him."

Kidnapping is fun, but once discovered by the censor, you will inevitably be severely criticized.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. No one else will find us on the path we chose."

The man was captured and quickly sent to Qiu Ling's house, but Lu Changning was in no mood to go and see the excitement. After going out for this trip, I don't know if it was because of being too excited or because of Qiu Yue's curse, but after returning, I felt weak, and scared the people around me to go to find a doctor in a hurry.

Lu Changning was in such a poor condition that he couldn't do anything. He sent the men in black out to find out the situation, and he could only lie on the bed and take medicine.

Qiu Yue, who was tied up, also saw his brother cursing.

This brother, whom he had been worried about for a whole day and night, was now looking at him stupidly with his elbow in his hands. Looking at the grease stain on his face that he hadn't had time to wipe off, he must have had a pretty good day.

After seeing his brother, Qiu Yue instantly calmed down and finally stopped making trouble. When Qiu Ling saw his brother, he immediately put down his elbow and rushed over: "Brother, why did they tie you up?"

The guard who brought Qiu Yue here had a bad look on his face: "It's really because your brother didn't cooperate well and insulted our prince that we resorted to this desperate measure."

After saying this, the guard actually left, leaving the two brothers alone.

"Xiao Ling, what's wrong with the wound on your head? Is it serious? Is this all caused by King Changle? I will make them pay the price."

Qiu Ling kept shaking his head: "No, no. Brother, the King of Changle is a very good person."

"What do you mean it's fine? You're still defending him even though you've been hurt like this! Could it be possible that the injuries on your body were caused by yourself?"

Hearing his brother say this, Qiu Ling lowered his head in shame: "Brother, I made this by myself. It has nothing to do with Prince Changle."

Qiu Yue frowned slightly. He didn't understand why his brother, who was always well-behaved and obedient, started to lean towards the King of Changle, who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, after just one night away from seeing him.

Seeing that his brother didn't believe him, Qiu Ling could only tell him everything he had done: "Brother, this is it. I fainted before I even touched his carriage. It was Prince Changle who saved me. He knew I was a scammer, but he didn't blame me and even gave me five taels of silver."

As he spoke, Qiu Ling carefully took out the silver coins he had been looking at for a long time from his arms: "Brother, King Changle is really a good man. He helped me cure my illness and gave me delicious food. He was afraid that you would worry, so he specially asked someone to invite you here."

Seeing his brother looking like he was being bribed, Qiu Yue felt even more worried: "Would a prince who is supported by others help a child like you for no reason? He must have some ulterior motive."

Qiu Ling didn't believe it: "Brother, what on me is worthy of the prince's plot?"

"That's not necessarily true." Qiu Yue looked at his brother with red lips and white teeth, and finally didn't say that. "Okay, since you have nothing to do, come home with me quickly, mom is still waiting for you at home."

Qiu Ling looked at the pork elbow on the table with some nostalgia, of which he had only taken two bites. In the end, his longing for home overcame his attachment to the meat.

Qiu Ling walked out the door: "Sister Fentao, I'm going home with my brother."

Then a maid in pink came in, wiping her hands. The water stains on her hands were still wet, and it seemed that she had been watching Qiu Ling nearby.

"Are you going home now? But your injury hasn't healed yet. Why don't you stay a few more days to recuperate?"

Qiu Yue refused on behalf of his brother: "It's really because my mother is seriously ill and misses Qiu Ling so much that she wants him to go back quickly."

Miss Pink Peach nodded: "I see, then you wait here for a moment."

Before the two brothers could say anything, the girl had already trotted out.

Qiu Yue sneered in his heart. His silly brother, this is the Changle King you thought was a good man. How could a good person suddenly appear from the royal family that feeds on the people? This palace is probably easier to get in than to get out.

Just as I was thinking about how to protect my brother and myself and get out of the mansion safely, I saw the little girl Pink Peach running in with a huge package.

"This is for you." As he said this, he stuffed it into Qiu Yue's arms.

Qiu Yue was holding a large bag, and he hadn't realized what was happening. Wasn't his brother carried in without anything? Why was there luggage inside?

Fen Tao said with a smile: "Qiu Ling's injuries have not yet fully healed. The prince said that if you want to leave, you should take some medicine home."

Qiu Ling looked at his brother, his eyes seemed to say: See, I told you that the prince is a good man.

Qiu Yue asked Fen Tao tentatively: "Then can my brother and I leave the house?"

Fen Tao stretched out her hand to block it: "Wait a moment."

Qiu Yue sneered in his heart: As expected...

Then Fen Tao brought another lunch box and put the big pork elbow that Qiu Ling was reluctant to leave on the table into it.

"This pork elbow is specially made for Qiu Ling to nourish his body. You can take it back and eat it."

Qiu Ling grabbed the lunch box, and was so moved that he almost cried: "Sister Fentao, you are so kind."

Fen Tao waved her hands: "What's the big deal? This huge palace is still short of this little thing? Okay, I also have things to do, so I won't see you off. Take care on your journey."

The two brothers left from the back door of the palace with their bags. As they got farther and farther away from the palace, Qiu Yue still didn't react. Did they really get out so easily? Without any words?

Wait, could it be this medicinal herb...

He hurriedly opened the bundle, only to find that it contained only ordinary blood-replenishing herbs that could be found in the mountains outside. There was nothing precious.

"It's really weird."

Qiu Ling limped after his brother: "Brother, let's go quickly, the elbow is getting cold, I want to bring it back for mom to taste."

Could it be that I was wrong? Are there really good people in the royal family? Qiu Yue put aside his worries for the time being and looked at his brother with a smile: "Well, forget it, let's go home first."

Qiu Ling was finally found. Just when Qiu Yue thought that their family could finally live a peaceful life, it seemed as if God didn't want to let them go.

Mother Qiu's illness has become more serious in the past few days. She has had a high fever for three consecutive days and coughed up blood this morning. The two brothers used the five taels of silver given by the King of Changle to call a doctor.

But this place is the capital city, and the doctor's consultation fee is one tael of silver. Five taels of silver is not enough.

Seeing that his mother's condition was getting worse and worse, and she was awake less and less during the day, Qiu Ling panicked: "Brother, let's go find King Changle and beg him. He is a good man and will definitely help us."

Qiu Yue hesitated in his heart. His mind told him that if he got involved with these powerful people, he would be the only one who would get hurt. However, his emotions told him that he should go.

My mother is already like this, what's there to be afraid of in the future? Qiu Yue gritted his teeth, asked Qiu Ling to look at his mother, turned around and ran out.

In the Changle Palace, Lu Changning, who had finally regained some energy after resting for several days, was rarely allowed to go out to the yard to bask in the sun.

Suddenly, I heard a servant report: "Qiu Yue is asking to see you at the gate."

Lu Changning glanced behind him, and the man in black immediately stepped forward to explain: "Mother Qiu's condition has worsened."

Lu Changning nodded, knowing what was going on: "Butler, go and take a look. If he has any difficulties, try to help him."

The butler received the order and went out to see Qiu Yue kneeling on the ground.

"Mr. Qiu, please stand up. My prince is not feeling well and cannot see guests. If there is anything, please tell me. The prince said that we will definitely help if we can."

Qiu Yue didn't expect that the Changle Palace would be so easy to talk to: "Sir, my mother is seriously ill, I beg the prince to save my mother's life."

As he spoke, Qiu Yue took out a piece of letter paper from his arms and said, "If you can save my mother, Qiu Yue is willing to serve as a slave in the mansion."

The butler was not sure what to do after receiving the contract, so he could only turn around and walk into the house. The butler could still see that the prince had taken care of the Qiu brothers many times. So the decision of the Qiu family's eldest brother to sell himself had to be made by the prince.

When the indenture appeared in front of Lu Changning, he just glanced at it lazily and asked the butler to return it: "I don't lack slaves, one more or one less is not a problem. Everyone has difficulties, there is no need to do this. Butler, let him go to Changning Pharmacy to buy medicine on credit, and he can make up the debt later."

The housekeeper took the order and went out to say to Qiu Yue who was waiting outside: "Mr. Qiu, you must keep this thing well. Once you really become a slave, it will be with you for life. Come with me to Changning Pharmacy. There are many miracle doctors in there. I dare not say anything else, but I am afraid that there are not many mansions in the folk that can match the medical skills of our Changle Palace."

Qiu Yue carefully put away the written contract of sale. He had already prepared to be humiliated, but he didn't expect that King Changle didn't care about these things and helped openly and honestly, which made him look mean.

Inside the palace, the attendant asked Lu Changning, "Your Majesty, why are you so kind to the Qiu brothers?"

Lu Changning looked at the sketchbook in his hand and asked, "Is he good to him? I haven't even met these two brothers many times, so I can't say they are good to each other."

"It's not good yet, Master. Qiu Yue wants to sell himself to our Changle Palace. How can you refuse one more person to work?"

Lu Changning smiled in his heart: This is nonsense, I can still distinguish between temporary pleasure and lifelong pleasure. Tying him up is at best a minor fight. If this villain is really turned into a slave, then this matter will be a big deal, and showing kindness will turn into making enemies.

Besides, what good would it do Qiu Yue to be a slave? Qiu Yue only lost his reputation, but I, Lu Changning, lost my life. My life could have ended with a cup of poisoned wine, but I will still be tortured by this little thing today.

No, no, although he wanted Qiu Yue to live, he didn't want to die too miserably. So, he had to be cautious in doing things.

"I am a naturally kind person. After all, saving the world is my lifelong goal."

……

At Lu Changning's instruction, his doctors were very attentive when treating Mother Qiu. After taking a few prescriptions, Mother Qiu was almost fully recovered.

Qiu Ling looked at his brother happily: "Mom is fine now. The doctor at Changning Pharmacy is really amazing."

Mother Qiu was a little worried: "Yue, I must have spent a lot of money. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

Qiu Ling was a little worried when he heard his mother say this: "Brother, did the prince embarrass you?"

Qiu Yue shook his head and held his mother's hand tightly. "Mom, maybe I was too prejudiced against the royal family before. This time I really met a good person. He not only allowed me to buy the medical fees on credit, but also allowed us to buy medicine on credit. I can pay him back when I make money later."

At this point, Mother Qiu nervously held her son's hand and asked, "How much profit do you think?"

Qiu Yue patted his mother's hand and comforted her: "Son, look, it's only a penny, it's not expensive. Mother, Changning Pharmacy was originally founded by Prince Changle to benefit the people, not for profit. We only spent less than five taels of silver this time."

Hearing her son say this, Mother Qiu finally felt relieved: "Sure enough, there are still many good people. This prince is really a good man."

Qiu Ling agreed: "Prince Changle is a good man."

"That's great, that's great. From now on we can live a down-to-earth life."

"Yes, we, as a family of three, live a good life."

……

The next day after these words were spoken, when Qiu Yueqiuling came back from a day of work, he saw that the rented room had been smashed to pieces, and their mother had fainted in the room.

"Mother, mother!"

The neighbor heard the noise and came out of the room: "Brother Qiu, how much money do you owe outside? They came to your house and took away all the valuables in your house."

Qiu Ling was afraid: "Brother, we haven't owed anyone money recently, could it be the King of Changle?"

Qiu Yue shook his head and pressed his mother's philtrum. Fortunately, his mother woke up.

When Mother Qiu saw her two sons, she burst into tears and said, "My sons, what sin have I committed?"

"Mom, what happened?"

Mother Qiu closed her eyes and tears as big as beans fell to the ground: "Your father is in debt in his hometown. He gave us our address. The debt collectors came to Kyoto."

"What? That old beast had one leg broken last time, why hasn't he changed yet?"

Mother Qiu beat her chest fiercely: "Why is my life so miserable! Why did I meet such a person? We have lost our house and land. He still doesn't repent. Will he force the three of us to death?"

Qiu Yue gritted his teeth and said, "How did the address of this place get exposed?"

Hearing this, Mother Qiu paused and said, "Yes... I contacted your aunt last time. I sent a letter to her hometown. I wonder if it was them..."

Qiu Ling exploded: "Mom, why are you so confused! Second Aunt is eager to see our family make a fool of itself, how can you contact her?"

Mother Qiu also regretted it at this time: "I just wanted to report that I was safe, how could I know...she would do this."

Seeing her two sons looking irritated, Mother Qiu found it difficult to speak: "The debt collectors came over during the day and said that your father is on his way to Kyoto."

"What!" The loud thunder blew the two brothers away. Qiu Ling looked at his brother pitifully: "Are we still moving?"

Mother Qiu cried, "Where can we move to? I accept my fate. I accept my fate in this life. You two go, I'll wait for him here. I want to see if he really wants to force me to death."
