Exclusive golden branch

Chapter 528
A His Majesty who is good at folk, although he has been approved by His Majesty, looks similar to His Majesty, and even his name has been recorded in the internal book.

But... Zhao Huan, the Second Highness from the people, knows in his heart that he didn't grow up under the eyes of everyone, and he can't do anything. It's better to be a prince who eats and waits to die. In fact, as long as you think about it, you will be made a fuss by the National People's Congress.

His origin is doomed that he has almost no chance of reaching that position.

"See Your Highness the Second Highness!" Several maidservants who were repairing flower branches in the garden stopped their movements and saluted Zhao who passed by here.

"It's okay, you guys are busy!" Zhao Huan nodded towards them, said something gently and walked towards the main courtyard.

Probably born and bred among the people, and aware of the sufferings of the people, this Second Highness who came from the people has always treated the servants and maids below with a gentle attitude, and never neglected the servants.

Such a master naturally has a good reputation among the palace servants and palace people.

But... the palace servants and palace people have a good reputation, but they will not help him win the help of the powerful.

The competition for that seat has always been won by strength, and the strong are respected.

Adversity sharpens people.He has been in the folk for more than ten years, but he has grown much faster than this year.

Zhao Huan walked into the house and called out "Sister".

The girl who was called "Sister" raised her head, her appearance was just delicate, and there were even a few maidservants outside who were making flowers and branches better than her, but... Zhao Huan who walked past Without even thinking about it, he stepped forward and grabbed her sleeve, hugged the girl from behind attached, and whispered: "Sister!"

This is the elder sister brought by his stepfather after his mother remarried.When their parents were there, they were called siblings. When their parents were away, the two who had no blood relationship were even more dependent on each other.

He was able to recognize His Majesty, and Ajie contributed a lot to being the Second Highness.

This elder sister is the person he trusts most in the world, and the only one who can give her his back.

"Yang Yan's younger sister and daughter have both entered the palace, and they must want to let their own people give birth to an heir." Zhao Huanyou sighed and said, "Sister is right, he really can't be trusted."

Although there is no lack of dissatisfaction with Yang Yan in his tone, but... Zhao Huan held the girl's hand even tighter: "That's fine, His Majesty doesn't object to us being together, and those ministers don't care about us, we just Together, being a rich man, such a life is pretty good."

Until now, in private, he always calls His Majesty His Majesty, not Emperor Father.

He once told His Majesty that he wanted to marry Elder Sister, and His Majesty did not object.

The girl who was called "Sister" pursed her lips, but did not speak immediately.

An emperor's heir wants to marry a folk girl with no background... She is happy that brother treats her seriously, but she can't help but feel cold: as early as in His Majesty's attitude of not objecting, she knew that His Majesty would never I'm interested in the one where my younger brother takes that seat.

A wealthy and idle person... The girl smiled wryly. Although she grew up in the common people, she didn't even read much, and her education was far inferior to most of the ladies in Chang'an City, but she was also from such a background. It's been a long time without enough clothes and warm clothes, so I'm naturally used to being prepared for danger in times of peace.

Originally, when the prince was the only opponent, the girls felt that brother could still fight.After all, this prince is really a jerk, and besides... if something happens to the prince, His Majesty only has one child, brother, and if you don't give this child to brother, you can only give him to brother.

She felt that her calculations were good, but...it wasn't until the news of His Majesty's draft selection suddenly came that she realized that her small calculations were not enough in front of the emperor.

"Yang Yan brought us back last year not to help us, but to throw stones at you, brother, to try the minds of those adults in the capital!" The girl sneered and said, "He came to Chang'an for the first time last year. , since I want to get a feel for the power of Chang'an City, I will use you as a pawn to test it out, to see who is the party that will firmly support the prince, who is a fool, and who will be wise to protect themselves."

Compared with other methods of detection, it is troublesome and may not be able to detect the truth.Take an heir who has nothing to do with him as a test, and you can get the most accurate results without a single soldier.

"Last year, brother was poisoned three times, and the person who poisoned him failed four times, plus the assassination and cold arrows he encountered when he was traveling..." The girl laughed out of spite, "Then Yang Yan is taking brother Throwing stones for him to ask the way!"

How could Zhao Huan, who witnessed the poisoning and assassination, not know what Yang Yan did?He still remembered the bitter smell of medicine that induced vomiting after being poisoned. It was sour and bitter, making it difficult to swallow.

"So, forget it!" Zhao Huan hugged the girl in his arms, sighed, and said, "With my background, I don't have anyone to rely on. Those dignitaries seem to respect me, but secretly Call me a country thing from the folks. Besides, my mother has not kept festivals for His Majesty. If a person like Your Majesty has some kind of sincerity towards her mother, how can you not find it if you really want to look for it?"

In the whole world, is there anyone who the emperor wants to find but can't find?
"I don't have anything, so why fight? Being with Sister and being a rich man, just like what we thought, is already very good." Zhao Huan said.

These things...how could a girl who is smarter than Zhao not know?
"It is of course good to be a rich man, but the premise is that we still have life to do it." The girl said, "We are already Yang Yan's useless chess. If a woman named Yang's family gives birth to a son in the future, that person must be someone from the palace. Human. Neither Yang Yan nor those people in the palace will let us go."

Zhao Huan hugged the girl's hand and froze. After a long pause, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "At first I thought that His Royal Highness was having a hard time, but now that I think about it, he has been the crown prince for many years, and there are always people who can help him." Those who believe, we are really pitiful, there is no one who can be trusted."

It is only now that they realize that in the future, even if they want to be rich, it may become a luxury.

"So, this moment and that moment." The girl stretched out her hand to cover Zhao Huan's hand, absorbing the warmth from each other, she said, "Now you can go to cooperate with His Royal Highness, he is simple-minded. , if you show your kindness and make him happy, you can take the opportunity to board the Su family's boat."

If it is said that among the rich and powerful in Chang'an City, which one would least like to see someone in the palace conceive a dragon heir, it must be the Su family, the mother's family of the Crown Princess.

In this draft, some powerful people in Chang'an City entered the palace, but the Su family, even a group of girls of the right age, were directly cut off.

"They are better than us. That weak cat-like little grandson is still in his hands. As long as he is cured, there will be no news from the palace. In the future, the Su family may not use the little grandson to fight Power." The girl said, she had thought about these things for a long time.

"So, we have the same goal as them." The girl turned to look at Zhao Huan, her delicate face was full of solemnity, "We don't want a new heir to be born in the palace."

Of course, it's not that Zhao Huan doesn't understand this truth, but the problem is...

"How can we control the emperor's heir in the palace? There are so many beautiful women! Those beautiful women who entered the palace also brought people with them, in order to give birth to the emperor's heir, what can we do?" Zhao Huan Helplessly smiled bitterly.

The girl raised her eyelids, looked at him, and said, "It's just you and me here, and I won't lie."

"There are too many beautiful women, so it's not easy to start. In fact, the easiest and most effective way to solve the problem of the emperor's heir lies with His Majesty."

Zhao Huanting's face immediately turned pale, obviously frightened.

The girl nodded. Although her face was a little pale, she still said calmly: "It's the easiest to solve the root of the problem."

After all, before Zhao could speak, the girl spoke again.

"Even if the Su family wants to support the young grandson, they must ensure that there will be no new heirs in the harem, so they will definitely make a big fuss about His Majesty."

But... can anyone approach the emperor?Furthermore, even if he can get close, how can he touch His Majesty?

"Don't panic, Brother, why don't you make friends with His Highness the Crown Prince first, and then we will make plans after meeting the people of the Su family." The girl's delicate face showed a ruthless look, "We have nothing, But the Su family has it. Their news must be much better than the two of us, if there is such a plan, it may not be without a plan. "

Zhao Huan fell silent, and after a while, he heard his own voice.

"it is good."

……

The prince came to see Chen Tong early in the morning the next day, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up and praised him repeatedly.

"Mr. Chen, your friendly passing Xingjun is really powerful. I just returned to the Prince's mansion yesterday, and the country thing came to look for Gu by himself, and brought a big gift." Speaking of this, the prince couldn't bear it. He couldn't help laughing, "How much money does he have? He doesn't have a Yue family, and he still wants to marry his country aunt. If this gift is taken from him, it is equivalent to cutting off a large piece of meat. "

Chen Tong brushed the whisk, but did not make a sound.

It's better to save meat from your mouth than to get it from greed!

"Gu listened to what you said, gave him some face, and stayed with him for a whole morning, reckoning to purify some of the demonic aura on him," the prince said, touching his chin, and said with a smile, "then It's funny how restrained things are in the country!"

Chen Tong brushed his whisk and didn't answer, he just asked the prince: "Did you mention to the Su family about the Second Highness coming to look for you?"

"Of course I mentioned it according to my husband's reminder. After all, I didn't see you when I looked up. If the Su family didn't say hello in advance, I'm afraid they would jump out and disrupt the situation!" Gu's gloomy elder brother is still the same, after hearing this, he said that he wants to meet the country guy, and see what plans he has in his stomach, so that Gu won't be taken advantage of by him!"

Speaking of this, the prince couldn't help but burst out laughing: "That country thing deceives Gu? He said that country thing deceives Gu? Who can deceive Gu?"

Chen Tong brushed the whisk in his hand again: he felt that there was nothing wrong with what Mr. Su said, and there were many people who deceived His Highness the Crown Prince.It's a pity that the prince himself obviously didn't think so.

"Are you kidding? How can such a wise and powerful man be so easy to deceive?" The prince sneered.

These words... Chen Tong coughed lightly, thought of Miss Jiang Si's words in his mind, and followed his words: "His Royal Highness is wise and powerful, but he just took this opportunity to purify the evil spirit."

He loves to hear these words, His Royal Highness nodded again and again, paused, and said with disdain: "That's fine too! Gu's gloomy elder brother is not a good thing. In terms of methods, he is probably the first one." No one can be ranked second. He went to find that country thing, and reckoned it would be enough for a pot of that country thing."

Thinking of Zhao still being embarrassed by his elder brother, the prince couldn't help but want to laugh.

……

Zhao Huan was indeed embarrassed by Mr. Su, but the embarrassment was a little different from what the prince thought.

"Ming people don't speak dark words, Second Highness, your current situation is not very good." Young Master Su sat opposite Zhao Huan, raised his chin and opened his mouth to look at Zhao Huan who was opposite him.

Zhao Huan looked at him and said, "I know. If it wasn't for this, how could I come to see you, Mr. Su?"

Could it be that he came here on purpose to respect that brother and friend of His Highness the Crown Prince?
Young Master Su is naturally aware of this point.

"I don't have any support at hand. I was just regarded as a pathfinder stone by Yang Yan. Now that he has his own real chess piece, this support is naturally gone." Zhao Huan took a deep breath and said to him Looking at the gloomy Young Master Su in front of him, he leaned over and bowed, "What I want now is to be a rich man and live a good life with my sister. So, please help me, Young Master Su!"

Although this folk country thing is criticized by people, but compared with the prince's brain, there is nothing wrong with it.

Mr. Su twirled the two black iron balls in his hand, and showed sincerity towards Zhao Huan, but he didn't say anything immediately, he just twirled the black iron ball in his hand and meditated.

The sound of iron balls rotating and colliding was not loud, but the inexplicable sound of friction between iron and iron made people feel a little uncomfortable. Zhao Huan looked at the iron balls in his hand and subconsciously sniffed his nose: I don’t know why, he always felt There seemed to be some other smell on the iron ball, different from the smell of rust, but mixed with a trace of inexplicable and inexhaustible dangerous smell.

Just as he was thinking, Mr. Su, who was turning the two iron balls in his hand, came back to his senses. The two iron balls in his hand made a "bang" sound, and there was a crisp impact sound. Looking at Zhao Huan in front of him, he spoke He said: "If you want to be a rich man, it's not that our Su family can't give it to you. But... Second Highness wants Su to see the sincerity of surrender."

Zhao Huan's heart tightened: This is not an accident at all, the Su family has never been a good person, and it is not easy to seek skin from a tiger.

It's just a trial by both sides, and in the end it's just to see who has the upper hand!

Taking a few deep breaths and forcing himself to calm down, Zhao also said, "What do you want me to do?"

"It was first rumored that your Majesty's physical injury caused the number of heirs to be thin. This is actually a half-truth," Mr. Su said with a half-smile. It was poisoned."

He has only learned of this news through some means in recent days, and His Majesty is serious about keeping it a secret.

"This time, the old genius doctor who has been recruited from Yan's house is invited to act because the time has come and he can detoxify."

Of course, he would not do it himself if he was not careful and would lose everything. It happened that Zhao Huan came to surrender, so it would be best to let this country thing do it.

"For things like poisoning and detoxification, no matter how powerful a genius doctor is, he will be helpless without a vital antidote." Mr. Su said, "Your Majesty wears a sacred object for curing poison all the year round, just for the purpose of urging peace." The medicinal properties of the poison are almost tempered now, and the old genius doctor Yan can start to detoxify after a few application of the medicine."

Having said that, Mr. Su stopped, and looked at Zhao Huan in front of him with a half-smile: "Second Highness, do you understand what I mean?"

He is not a prince, how could he not understand the words of Young Master Su?
Zhao Huan's face changed drastically: "You want me to destroy the poison-curing holy relic on His Majesty's body?"
