Buddhist Miracle Doctor: The Dark Prince, Can't Get Rid of Him

Many people in the capital knew that it was a bit of a hassle for the current emperor to sit on the throne.

However, only a small number of people know the truth.

This small number of people are not ordinary people either, they are all veteran officials in the court.

Previously, Xue Wenyu was wrongly accused of colluding with the deceased Ning Wang's subordinates and intending to rebel. The Ning Wang Zhou Yi was the uncle of the current emperor Zhou Zhian.

Zhou Zhian's father, King Zhou Ming, was a kind-hearted and wise king. He had been in power for decades, but there was always something on his mind that he could not let go.

That is, when his father was planning to make the third prince Zhou Pingyi the crown prince, Zhou Ming softened his ears and listened to his grandfather's advice. He did a sinister thing and framed his third brother Zhou Yi. Only then did he become the crown prince as he wished.

Later, Zhou Ming discovered that although his third brother knew the whole story, he had never felt any dissatisfaction or resentment towards him. Instead, he secretly helped him everywhere and solved some major problems that the ministers were helpless to solve.

thing.

Then, except for the principal wife who gave birth to a son and a daughter, the other concubines had no place to go.

Zhou Ming ordered people to investigate whether it was the trick of the Third Emperor's wife, but the fact turned out to be that the Third Emperor's brother made all the women around him drink the sterilizing soup. The soup was very poisonous, and after drinking it, the women would be infertile for life, and there was no antidote.

Zhou Ming finally understood that the purpose of his third brother's doing this was to make him feel at ease as a dragon.

This incident made Zhou Ming blame himself and regret the decision he made back then.

So, during a Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, Zhou Ming, while drunk, said to his third brother Zhou Yi that he would make Zhou Yi's son Zhou Yian the crown prince one day.

Zhou Yi did not take this drunken remark seriously, but someone else did. That person was Zhou Zhian, who was the current emperor and a prince at that time.

Because all the ministers in the court and everyone around him felt that he was the only one who could be the crown prince.

After the banquet, he returned to his own bedroom. Not long after, his mother and grandfather came to see him. That night, he was very confused. Although he was young, he knew what he wanted most. And his grandfather also said that such things should not be taken lightly. It is better to believe it than not to believe it.

Moreover, this kind of thing cannot be tolerated. Who can guarantee that the son of Prince Ning will not attack him when he sits on the throne?

Zhou Zhiping immediately made up his mind and decided to defend what originally belonged to him at all costs.

So one summer the following year, Prince Ning took his princesses out of the capital to escape the heat. On the third night at the Mountain Resort, something happened.

Two hundred and thirty-two people from Prince Ning to the gatekeepers were killed inside and outside the villa. The two survivors were a maidservant of Prince Ning's wife and a man who was feeding horses in the villa. They were also seriously injured. Several imperial doctors tried to save them, but they couldn't survive.

The two men said that they were attacked in the late night. The people who came were masked and wearing black clothes. They didn't say anything and just kept killing.

The late Emperor Zhou Ming was furious and ordered the three departments to investigate quickly.

Then there was only one result found, that the black armor on the masked man was said to be the standard equipment of the Xixiang Kingdom's Royal Guard.

But some people expressed doubts. Although Xi Xiang had been causing chaos on the border for years, he had never penetrated into the country. Did he come here just to kill Prince Ning's family to vent his anger?

In fact, some people suspected that it was the prince Zhou Zhiping who did it. After all, there were many ministers present at the palace banquet that day. Many people heard the drunken words of the emperor Zhou Ming.

However, this kind of suspicion cannot be expressed out loud, and it is somewhat untenable.

Because Prince Ning's family went to escape the summer heat, Zhou Zhiping's mother, Concubine Xuan, and eldest son Zhou Menhuan also went with them and were also staying in the villa.

As the saying goes, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. No matter how cruel Zhou Zhiping is, he would not abandon his own mother and son.

There has been no progress in the murder case at the mountain villa, and it remains a mystery. The blame has been put on Xi Xiang for the time being, but he has not responded at all. Neither admitted nor denied it!

The late Emperor Zhou Ming was depressed all day long because of the tragic deaths of his elder brother's family, his beloved concubine and the emperor's grandson. He fell ill half a year later and issued an edict to appoint Zhou Zhiping as the crown prince. He died the following year. In the same year, Crown Prince Zhou Zhiping ascended the throne and named the country An.

Xue Wenyu won the top three places in the imperial examination at the age of thirteen. Although he was the youngest new top scholar in Yan State, he officially entered the court as an official at the age of sixteen, and this year has been his ninth year.

When Prince Ning got into trouble, Xue Wenyu had not yet entered the court to serve as an official. The fifteen-year-old boy still had a deep impression of the incident. Although he had only met Prince Ning a few times, he felt that he was approachable.

Especially when Yan State suffered from natural disasters, Prince Ning did not donate silver and provide porridge in a high-profile manner like other royal relatives and ministers. Instead, he sold his properties in a low-key manner and gave the proceeds to the local temples to help the victims.

Xue Wenyu regarded Prince Ning as a role model and admired him very much, so he swore in his heart that one day he would get to the bottom of the tragedy and give justice to Prince Ning's family.

He was indeed investigating, and although he was still not sure who was behind the tragedy, he had a general idea.

In recent years, as the results of the investigation have been getting closer to the truth, Xue Wenyu has become more and more conflicted. He doesn't know if Qiao is really like that, what should he do?

Even now, on his way to Youcheng, having learned that the child was safe, his mood did not calm down and he was still irritable.

Less than three years after leaving the capital, the capital is already in turmoil! Some things cannot be covered up for long! Looking at the road ahead, he sighed on horseback.

The incident in Xixiang has been temporarily settled, but the road back home leads to another battlefield of his.

He was born and raised in that place, but now there is no home for him there.

When Xue Wenyu was feeling extremely desolate, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him without him knowing.

The woman who obviously has a powerful family but still has no one to rely on.

She lost her parents at a young age and grew up eating at many people's homes. She was taken in by her uncle, the prefect, because she had value that could be exploited.

She knew all this, but she didn't show any sadness and could even gain greater benefits for herself in that situation.

In order to gain greater benefits and live a better life in the future, she even became a "widow"

Even after entering the Xue family and knowing that the groom was still alive, she did not panic too much.

She was placed in that remote courtyard and confined to her room, but she did not cry or kneel down to the ground.

56 /

She was placed in that remote courtyard and confined to her room, but she did not cry or kneel down to beg for help.

She was so content even though she used water to cook vegetables every day.

What about me? Although my situation is not very good, I have much more than her. So why am I so sad? Am I not even as good as a little girl like her?

If Qiao let her know what happened, she would definitely laugh at him, right?

Thinking of this, Xue Wenyu ordered to stop advancing and rest on the spot...
