Spring Drunk Chang'an

Liu Xiu's injury was not serious after all. The doctor rubbed it for him, left him a few bottles of medicine for bruises and injuries, and then said goodbye and left!

Liu Wenrui went to see him off.

Qu Qiutong took advantage of this opportunity to hold the man down and question him in a sharp and urgent voice.

Liu Wenrui didn't hide anything and told her everything, "Mrs. Qu, my mother probably hates my eldest brother very much. It's because you and father were too ruthless!"

"My mother meant that my eldest brother must suffer from me, ahem, my brother's suffering..."

The brother over there is naturally referring to Liu Yu.

"My older brother has been paralyzed since he was young and has been in a wheelchair for so many years. My mother felt sorry for him, so she took her anger out on my eldest brother..."

"She said this is retribution for you and Big Brother!"

Even when not in front of Liu Xiu, Liu Wenrui was quite outspoken. Facing Qu Qiutong, he was not polite at all and pierced her heart.

Qu Qiutong's face flushed, but she didn't care about being angry anymore, her heart was filled with panic.

Liu Xiu can no longer control Song Zhilan, Wen Bo is doomed!

She was trembling all over, staring at Liu Wenrui with her eyes.

Liu Wenrui stood still like a mountain.

Qu Qiutong didn't say anything, pushed him away, and ran into the house in panic.

At that moment, Liu Wenrui heard a woman's sharp cry coming from the inner room.

He sneered twice and turned away.

-

Time passed quickly, and it was April in a blink of an eye. Liu Xiu's injuries were almost healed, and he began to move around, visiting relatives and friends, hoping to return to the court.

Because of his bad behavior, he was stripped of his official position. Now he only has the title of marquis. He receives money from the court every month. It is rich, but he has no power.

He had no time to bother and didn't dare to cause trouble for Duke Cheng'en and Song Zhilan. He just wanted to find a real position first and stand in front of Emperor Yingwu again.

Moreover, for some unknown reason, he did not look for Prince Yan and Concubine Qu, but instead looked for other connections.

Going out early and coming back late, busy all the time.

However, Qu Qiutong began to contact King Yan frequently in private, and even brought Liu Qingru with her once.

After all, without the great doctor Bai, Liu Wenbai would most likely be beyond saving. She had to consider the future of herself and her son. In the past, Liu Qingru was just a casual move, but now she was much more important.

However, even so, she did not change her original idea. After all, she still wanted Liu Qingru to be her concubine.

This is in her best interest!

She was also constantly on the move.

So, Liu Xiu and Qu Qiutong, two people who regarded each other as true love and wanted to give their hearts to each other, lived in the same house, but had not seen each other for more than ten days.

Liu Wenrui, on the other hand, took the opportunity to squeeze in next to Liu Xiu, serving him every day. Liu Xiu was no longer like before, scolding him and hitting him. He constantly lectured him, telling him to be a good "nagging" for Liu Wenbai and not to dream of things he couldn't get...

On the contrary, Liu Xiu became more like a father and spoke in a gentle tone.

After spending a long time together, he and Liu Wenrui actually developed a close relationship.

Liu Wenrui held him tighter.

For a time, many nobles and common people in the capital could see the father and son going in and out together. They looked like a loving father and a filial son, and the story spread like wildfire.

There was a gossipy person who, out of good intentions or wanting to watch the fun, reported the matter to the mansion of Duke Cheng'en.

Song Bin and Old Lady Song didn't care. Ever since Liu Wenrui chose to abandon the Cheng'en Mansion and return to the Liu family, they treated this grandson as if he didn't exist. Song Zhilan was also a little more calm because of what happened before. After sighing for a short while, she went to accompany Liu Yufujian.

However, the Crown Prince and his wife were very angry.

The Crown Prince's wife humiliated the gossiping wife, leaving her face completely red. The Crown Prince rushed forward, staring intently at Liu Xiu. Whatever official position he wanted, whatever connections he had made...

The prince messed up everything!

I never get tired of it.

Xiao Chuo had been paying close attention to this matter and was ready to take action at any time. Liu Xiu wanted to avenge his little girl, and he couldn't just give him a beating to get away with it. But before he showed up, his uncle solved the problem in no time!

Xiao Chuo put it aside for the time being and stopped paying attention to it, and went to meet Emperor Yingwu!

The draft is just around the corner.

Those beautiful ladies from other provinces have gathered in the capital, counting the days. The Cheng'en Mansion has also prepared everything for Song Zhinian and Liu Changan, and they are just waiting to enter the palace.

Xiao Chuo also wanted to fight for her little girl.

Inside the Qiankun Pavilion, Emperor Yingwu had just finished his morning court session and was about to have breakfast when the chief eunuch, bowing his waist, respectfully stepped forward and whispered, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince requests an audience."

"Chuo'er? He's outside the palace?" Emperor Yingwu was stunned.

Recently, there has been a locust plague in Hubei Province. The Crown Prince and the Ministry of Revenue have been busy with locust control and disaster relief. They have not entered the palace for several days. How come he has time to come here now?

"Send him in."

Emperor Yingwu waved his hand.

"Yes." The eunuch accepted the order and walked out of the hall. After a while, he came back with Xiao Chuo.

"Your son greets the Emperor, Father. Long live the Emperor." Xiao Chuo knelt on one knee, lowered her eyes and spoke in a deep voice.

"My son, there is no need to be so polite. Get up and sit aside." Emperor Yingwu smiled and stroked him with his hand.

Xiao Chuo stood up and sat opposite him.

Emperor Yingwu then asked him, "You came here right after court, have you had your meal yet? Please eat with me!"

"Okay." Xiao Chuo nodded.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Yingwu ordered the chief eunuch to serve the meal. After a while, breakfast was served from the imperial kitchen.

Not many, just about twenty dishes.

There are beasts in the mountains, geese in the clouds, chickens, ducks, geese, pigs and seafood in the sea, everything is available.

For breakfast, it's quite rich.

To the emperor, it was just ordinary.

The eunuch who was in charge of testing for poison added a chopstick to each dish. After testing for poison, a palace maid came forward to serve the dishes.

Emperor Yingwu and Xiao Chuo ate in a scattered manner, and after a while, they were half full.

Emperor Yingwu drank his soup and asked, "Chuo'er, what brings you to see me today?"

Otherwise, how could the prince have the time to come and see him so early in the morning when the Ministry of Revenue was so busy with disaster relief?

"I am here to discuss the selection of concubines." Xiao Chuo had no intention of hiding anything and spoke directly and clearly.

"A selection?" Emperor Yingwu raised his eyebrows, his face puzzled. After a moment, he suddenly understood and chuckled softly, "Oh right, this selection is to choose a Crown Princess for you."

"You are old enough to get married. Your brother already has several children, but you are still alone."

"Actually, you should have been married a long time ago, but that's your fate..."

He sighed, feeling somewhat uneasy. In this selection, his entire attention was focused on finding a good concubine for Xun'er who would be suitable in every way and have an extraordinary family background, and he hadn't paid any attention to the Crown Prince at all.

Emperor Yingwu wiped his face, coughed awkwardly, and said in a disarming tone, "You mentioned to me last time that you had a favorite woman who was in this selection!"

"Which one? Tell me, I'll arrange a marriage for you..."
