If you traveled back to ancient times, while others ate Guanyin clay, you would actually have giant

After Zhou Wu arrived in the capital, he sent Li Baiwei home and went to the Crown Prince's residence as soon as possible.

When Zhou Wu saw Crown Prince Li Junren, he could hardly believe his eyes. This unkempt and slovenly man was actually the Crown Prince.

The Crown Princess, who was still trying to persuade the Crown Prince, suddenly saw Zhou Wu's arrival and a long-lost sense of relief appeared on her face.

"Zhou Wu".

"Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

"You should try to persuade the Crown Prince. He's been drinking every day and neglecting his duties."

"Serious business? Humph, what serious business do I, a cripple, need to concern myself with?"

It turned out that Li Junren had also noticed Zhou Wu's arrival, but he didn't say anything. It was only after hearing the Crown Princess's words that he made a self-deprecating remark.

"Your Highness shouldn't do this; everyone is concerned about you."

"Why do you care about me? Is it because I'm crippled? Do I need your sympathy? Now it's all right. Father can rightfully give the position of Crown Prince to my fourth brother, and I can live a carefree life as a prince from now on."

Li Junren roared almost frantically. This was the first time Zhou Wu had seen Li Junren so out of control, indicating that this incident had indeed dealt him a significant blow.

"Your Highness, everything is still uncertain. If you give up now, what will happen to your supporters?"

At this moment, Zhou Wu no longer cared about status or hierarchy. For someone who had completely given up on himself, the only option was to strike hard.

"Heh, destiny? My lameness is destiny. There has never been a lame prince in history. This is destiny."

Li Junren downed his drink in one gulp, then threw his head back and laughed wildly, as if mocking the injustice of fate, or perhaps mocking himself.

"It's just a limp, yet you've become so depraved. Even if you were made emperor, I wouldn't believe you could govern the Great Dragon's empire well."

"You think you can be the emperor of the Great Dragon? You give up at the first sign of trouble, instead of thinking about how to solve the problem, you just drink and run away?"

"I really overestimated you before. With your condition, don't blame your lameness. Even if you had both legs, you would still fail."

Zhou Wu kept talking, making the Crown Princess beside him tremble with fear. How could he say such things?

Li Junren remained silent with his head down, seemingly lost in thought. After a long while, he slowly spoke.

"Zhou Wu, can you help me?"

It's unclear whether Li Junren was referring to his leg or his position as crown prince, but since he was willing to say such things, it seems he has a determination to resist.

"Walk a few steps, let me see what's wrong with your leg."

Zhou Wu did not rush to answer Li Junren's question, but wanted to check Li Junren's leg first to see what was wrong.

Li Junren was like a puppet on strings; even standing up was difficult for him. When he walked, he was covered in sweat from the pain, and in just a few steps, he was soaked through.

Zhou Wu stepped forward and lifted the other man's trouser leg, revealing a broken leg.

"What did the imperial physician say?"

"The imperial physician said that His Highness injured his bones when he fell from his horse and can only rest. There is basically no chance of a full recovery."

The Crown Princess became more and more heartbroken as she spoke. A perfectly healthy person, just by riding a horse, had suddenly become crippled.

"I remember you were skilled at riding? Why did you fall from your horse?"

“I don’t know either. That day, my fourth brother invited the royal family members to go hunting in the hunting grounds. We both spotted a deer at the same time and chased after it. For some reason, my horse suddenly went berserk and threw me off. My leg hit a rock hard and I was so in pain that I passed out. When I woke up, my leg was ruined.”

Zhou Wu's suspicions about the fourth prince, Li Zheng, are growing stronger, but as a minor figure, he cannot afford to get involved in the royal power struggle.

"Zhou Wu, I remember you also know medicine. Is there any hope for His Highness's leg?"

The Crown Prince and Crown Princess are now most concerned about whether there is any hope for the leg.

"You can give it a try."

Although Zhou Wu couldn't guarantee a cure, the words "it's worth a try" were enough to make the two of them ecstatic, meaning there was still a chance.

"Zhou Wu, just tell me what you need, and I'll have someone prepare it right away."

"All I need is a quiet room, and then I need to find someone to help me, so I'll have to wait a few more days."

"it is good."

. . . . .

Zhou Wu immediately arranged for someone to go back to the old man and summon Zai Hongfei, bringing alcohol and surgical instruments.

While waiting, the Crown Prince ordered his staff to keep the matter a secret, but for some reason, it still got out.

The Fourth Prince's faction had already begun preparing for the celebration, but this sudden news abruptly interrupted them.

The Fourth Prince's Mansion.

"Damn it, who is this Zhou Wu?"

When Zhou Wu was causing a great uproar in the capital, the Fourth Prince happened to be in Gaoli, so he was relatively unfamiliar with Zhou Wu.

"Your Highness, this Zhou Wu is the former tutor of the Crown Prince."

"How dare a mere tutor to the Crown Prince oppose me?"

Since the Fourth Prince returned from Gaoli, he has been receiving flattery and compliments from everyone, and no one dares to oppose him. Now, Zhou Wu has suddenly appeared out of nowhere and can actually cure the Crown Prince's leg. Isn't this obviously going against him?

"Can he really cure the prince's leg?"

"Your Highness, I have already consulted the imperial physician, who said that unless one is a god, it is impossible to bring the patient back to health with such skill. I suspect that Zhou Wu was merely trying to please the Crown Prince."

"Hmph, ignorant brat. Men, spread the word that Zhou Wu was able to cure the Crown Prince's leg ailment."

"Your Highness, what do you mean?"

For a moment, the people below were confused about what the Fourth Prince meant. Logically speaking, the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince were adversaries, and the Fourth Prince should be praying that the Crown Prince's leg ailment would not be cured.

"Hmph, you fool, didn't you say that even the imperial physicians couldn't cure the Crown Prince? Then let's spread the word that Zhou Wu can cure the Crown Prince's leg ailment. Do you know what it means to have great hope but great disappointment? In the end, the result will still be the same, and won't the Crown Prince suffer an even greater blow?"

"Excellent! As expected of the Fourth Prince. Your humble servant will take care of it immediately."

royal palace.

"How is the Crown Prince doing lately?"

Li Tiancheng sat on the dragon desk, looking at the memorials but having no interest in reviewing them. He was still thinking about the Crown Prince's leg ailment. He had heard that the Crown Prince's temperament had recently changed drastically because of the leg ailment, which made Li Tiancheng somewhat worried.

"Your Majesty, there are rumors that Zhou Wu has returned to the capital. It is said that he can cure the Crown Prince's leg ailment. The Crown Prince has also changed his dejected appearance and has begun to read books and handle government affairs every day again."

"what!"

The eunuch's answer surprised Li Tiancheng greatly. Zhou Wu had actually returned to the capital secretly and was able to cure the crown prince's leg ailment. Upon hearing this news, Li Tiancheng was naturally overjoyed.

More importantly, the Crown Prince has clearly regained his confidence, which is something Li Tiancheng is happy to see.

"White carriage, to the Crown Prince's residence."

"promise"
