Spring Drunk Chang'an

Liu Chang'an looked at the Crown Prince with bright almond-shaped eyes and said hurriedly, "My Lord, perhaps he has never supported you. He has always been loyal to the Prince of Yan and Concubine Qu."

"Then he wasn't sincere when he proposed to our lady?"

Duke Liu - He kept a concubine and treated the daughter of a guilty minister as his wife. He jumped back and forth between the Prince of Yan and the Crown Prince. He was cold-blooded and ruthless, and only cared about profit and not about family.

She had always thought that Duke Liu was disgusting, but she had never expected that...

Duke Liu could be even more disgusting than she thought.

Did he even have another purpose for proposing marriage? When he thought about how Song was still sad and that the 19-year relationship between husband and wife had been destroyed, Liu Changan didn't know how to tell her!

Where does this friendship come from? There has never been any.

When Duke Liu proposed to her, he had the intention of destroying the Song family.

"Liu Xiu is probably the most sophisticated chess piece in Concubine Qu and Prince Yan's plan." Xiao Chuo said calmly, her eyes filled with cold light, "He is quite good at hiding."

Liu Changan bit his lip with resentment.

Yes, of course it’s deep. In your previous life, after you deposed the crown prince for the second time and ascended the throne through rebellion, you didn’t even notice him and you even married someone else’s concubine’s daughter as the crown princess!

She sighed quietly.

He turned his face away, feeling uncomfortable, and patted...the guard lady's hand.

The guard lady understood what he meant and spurred her horse to take two quick steps.

Xiao Chuo didn't notice and rode his horse to catch up.

Two people...

The three of them arrived at the center of the apricot blossom forest. Liu Changan composed himself and was about to say a few words when he suddenly heard a slight "gurgling" sound coming from the front.

It was as if someone had choked on water.

"Go and have a look," she said quickly.

The guard girl galloped forward.

Xiao Chuo followed.

The three of them left the dense apricot forest and saw a clear stream with a bottom that seemed endless. It was about five or six meters wide. The stream was gurgling, and fish were jumping in the water. At the water's edge...

Some people committed suicide.

Liu Changan saw at a glance that beside the stream, a thin man in white clothes was lying on the ground with his upper body immersed in the water, making a painful "woohoo" sound.

But he didn't get up.

The stream was only knee-deep, and only his upper body was submerged in the water. If he wanted to save himself, he could just lift his arms to support his body, but he didn't.

He was actually planning to drown himself.

"Are you so determined to die? You have to die this way." The guard lady finally couldn't help but muttered softly.

However, Liu Chang'an was eager to save the man, so he didn't care about anything else. He got off his horse, ran to the stream, grabbed the thin man's shoulders and turned him around.

"Cough cough!"

The man was breathing heavily, his eyes were closed, and he seemed to be in a semi-coma.

"Wake up, what's wrong? Everything's fine!" Liu Chang'an frowned, half-knelt on the ground, turned the man over, pressed his knee against his stomach, and hit his back hard.

This was the method she saw the nuns use to save drowning children in the Taoist temple in her previous life.

'Bang bang bang! '

"Ugh, cough, cough, cough!"

The thin man twitched twice and spit out water with a "wow" sound, but he did not wake up. Instead, he grabbed Liu Changan's wrist.

Liu Changan turned over him and looked at his face.

Suddenly, she was startled.

The man looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with an oval face, narrow eyes, a straight nose, and small, narrow lips. I couldn't remember where I had seen him before, but he looked very familiar.

Liu Chang'an recalled in astonishment. Just as a light flashed in his mind, Xiao Chuo rode forward and said in a faint voice, "Alive?"

"Ying, he should be alive!"

"Let me go if I'm still alive." Xiao Chuo dismounted.

Liu Changan's attention was diverted, and she hurriedly tried to let the man go. However, the man grabbed her wrist and held it tightly, and she couldn't pry it open no matter how hard she tried.

Xiao Chuo's face darkened slightly, and she raised her voice to give orders.

In the distance, there was a bustling sound of footsteps and shouting, and an old woman's voice, with tears in her eyes, cried out, "Master, Master, where are you? Don't scare the nurse, answer me quickly!"

"Master, this is my child."

Liu Changan and Xiao Chuo looked at the man at the same time.

Seeing this, the guard turned around and asked, "Who's making a noise?"

The grass swayed, and seven or eight men dressed as servants emerged from the apricot grove by the stream, surrounding an old lady in her fifties or sixties, and hurried forward.

As soon as she saw the man, the old lady rushed forward in two steps, fell to her knees, hugged his wet and thin body, and cried sadly, "Master, Master, why are you so depressed again?"

"If the master and mistress don't love you, you still have an old slave!"

"I nursed you till you were old enough. You are my life. If you want to die, take me with you."

again?

Liu Changan listened to this detail and glanced at the thin but gorgeously dressed "young master" whose belt was worth more than ten taels. He thought: She is in such a difficult situation, but she is trying her best to survive. How can someone seek death again and again?

Just like she has adoptive parents, family, and a prince.

The 'young master' clearly had a wet nurse who felt sorry for him and cried for him.

"Hurry, carry the young master back and ask a doctor to come." The wet nurse instructed while crying.

The servants came over slowly. Liu Changan could clearly see the impatience on their faces. Some of them even muttered quietly, "You stinking cripple, you're really causing trouble for others. If you want to die, go die far away!"

Cripple?

Liu Chang'an subconsciously looked at the man's legs. Sure enough, compared with his thin body, his legs were exaggeratedly thin, like an underage child.

In the grass by the stream, there was a strange chair with wheels lying upside down.

Is a disabled person.

Thinking of how Wang'er looked after being beaten and crippled in his previous life, Liu Chang'an sighed in his heart, a trace of pity emerging in his heart.

"Master, young lady, thank you for saving my young master. I, an old slave, thank you for your great kindness." On the side, the wet nurse cried and leaned over to kneel.

"Don't be polite, it's all I should do." Liu Changan hurriedly helped her.

The servants also tried to lift the young master by the head and feet, but the young master held Liu Changan's wrist tightly, and no matter how people tried to pry his hand open, he would not let go.

Seeing this, the nurse pleaded humbly, "Young lady, please come to our house and sit for a while. When the young master sees the doctor and gets better, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Liu Changan had no choice but to agree.

Xiao Chuo had nothing to do, so she went along too.

The young master's surname is Liu, and his given name is "Yu". His house is located in Liujiazhuang at the end of the apricot blossom forest. According to the wet nurse, it was bought by their master for Liu Yu to recuperate.

Liu Yusheng has a pure nature. He has lived in the house since he was born and rarely goes out.

But the wet nurse did not say why he committed suicide.

When everyone arrived at the house, the doctor had already arrived. He took Liu Yu's pulse and prescribed medicine. Liu Yu drank the sedative and fell into a deep sleep. His hand naturally relaxed. The wet nurse invited Xiao Chuo and Liu Chang'an to the front hall and prepared to reward them handsomely.

Outside, a servant hurried in to announce, "The master and his wife are here."

Liu Yu's parents seemed to rarely come back. The nanny panicked and forgot everything as she hurried out to greet them.

Liu Changan and Xiao Chuo looked at each other.

As guests, it seemed impolite not to meet the host when he returned. The two of them walked out of the house and stood in front of the porch. They saw a middle-aged couple dressed like wealthy businessmen surrounded by people outside the gate.

The woman was in her thirties, with stunning beauty and a cool temperament.

man……

It turned out to be Ningguo Duke Liu Xiu.
