Doomsday gangsters travel through the 50s

Chapter 398
Except for his biological mother's expectation of Chaolu's birth, no one in the entire Yuan Palace cared about it, and some people even wished that he would die in the womb.

Before he was five years old, Chao Lu had been living with his biological mother in a remote small palace. The palace people never respected their mother and son, and some bold palace people would even secretly bully them.

When he was approaching the age of six, Chaolu's biological mother was unable to get medical treatment due to the cold, and finally passed away after half a month of suffering, leaving Chaolu's one and a half-year-old child to continue to suffer in the partial palace.

Everyone in the world thinks that being born in the royal family means that he must be a master, and live a life of being either rich or noble, but Chao Lu knew from the beginning that he was different from other princes and daughters, and his status could not help being inferior to those princes and daughters. Not even some courtiers who have dignity in front of their masters.

But in this world, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, Chaolu's origin is destined not to be taken seriously, no matter in the eyes of his father, or those brothers and sisters, he is a hybrid who is ignored, but also because of this, he Having escaped countless disputes, although life is still difficult, he is one of the few princes in the palace who can live to adulthood.

Chao Lu has never read a book, but fortunately his biological mother once helped a palace man, and that palace man knew how to repay his kindness. After the death of Chao Lu's biological mother, he kept helping Chao Lu secretly. At the same time, the palace people will try their best to teach Chaolu to read and write. Although they are not as good as other princes and princesses who can receive orthodox education, at least they will not become an illiterate person.

As the saying goes, reading wisely, Chao Lu studied with the palace servants for nearly eight years, until one day, Chaolu couldn’t wait for the palace servants, and he still couldn’t wait for ten days, and then he found out after secretly inquiring. It turned out that the palace man wanted to look for him, but he bumped into the current prince unintentionally. The result was obvious, and the palace man was executed directly.

After Chaolu heard the news, he was sad for half a month alone, and since this time, he deeply understood that in the palace, his status seemed to be the same as that of the palace servants who taught him. My lord, maybe the end will not be so good.

After he became an adult, Chao Lu was sent out of the palace at will, and now he is rewarded with a prince's mansion and allocated some low-level servants. Then he changed from an ordinary prince living in the palace to a flat-headed prince who wants to live outside the palace. There is no title and soil, so there is only one prince's mansion.

After Chaolu moved out of the palace, people in the world realized that there is still an unknown prince, and they were surprised for a while, but smart people know that this prince is definitely not taken seriously, so few people are willing to make friends with him .

After more than ten years like this, Chao Lu also married a wife and had children. Even if he was no longer favored, he was at least a prince to outsiders. There were many people who wanted to fly on a branch and become a phoenix. For a big family, being able to carry on the family line is enough for him.

Chaolu's wife was born in a low-rank civil servant's family in the dynasty, and she gave birth to a son for Chaolu after three years of marriage. Originally, Chaolu also thought that his life would be so dull, until one day when the dynasty General Dong Xing approached him.

At that time, Chaolu was already in his thirties, and Dong Xing had passed the age of knowing the destiny. The two had no communication at all, but Dong Xing found Chaolu and expressed his willingness to cooperate.

"Why did General Dong come here?" Zhao Lu looked at the sky outside the window, the stars were sparse, and the moon seemed to be covered by a veil.

"Seventh Prince, don't need to be nervous. This old man came here to ask for something, but this matter is not difficult for the Seventh Prince." Dong Xing smiled gently, not as cruel and cunning as the world thought.

"General Dong, please tell me first. After all, you know the situation in my Prince's Mansion." Chao Lu almost said that he was a prince who was nothing, although he didn't think he could help Dong Xing. , but I am really curious about what Dong Xing is looking for him.

Dong Xing did not show any expression of contempt. What he valued was the situation of Chaolu. If it was replaced by other princes with less powerful positions, he might not come easily.

After Chaolu listened to Dong Xing's request, he understood why this person came to him. If it was someone else, he might refuse, or even betray Dong Xing, but if it was him, let alone, As long as this matter can be carried out according to Dong Xing's plan, he will indeed not betray the other party.

"It's just that I don't have a position in the court. Even if I want to promise you, I still have no power." Chao Lu smiled wryly. In fact, his words were not purely self-mockery, but also a temptation to Dong Xing.

"The Seventh Prince doesn't need to worry about this. Since I asked to come to the door, I will naturally arrange everything. Afterwards, I only need the full cooperation of the Seventh Prince. Of course, what I promised will be fulfilled one by one." Dong Xing smiled and understood. Chao Lu's temptation made him feel at ease about it. It is more reassuring to ask for something than to ask for nothing.

Looking down at Lu, it would be a lie to say that he is not moved. Although he hopes to live a smooth life, if there is a chance, he naturally hopes to go further.

"Then I will wait for the good news from General Dong." Chao Lu's words were considered to be Dong Xing's request. No matter how you look at the matter, he will benefit in the end. As for what Dong Xing can get, he has no choice Or if this matter will be bad for today, Chao Lu doesn't care at all.

"Okay, the old man will go back first." Dong Xing's goal was achieved, so he stayed because of the inconvenience, and left immediately.

Since then, Chaolu and Dong Xing have reached an agreement in private, and Dong Xing is no loss to be the number one general of the dynasty, not to mention that he has power in the court, but his power almost accounts for more than half of the court.

It didn't take long for Chaolu to be noticed by the present for the first time. He didn't assign important positions right away, but at least he moved from a marginal figure to the center of power.

Because Dong Xing's arrangements were very secretive, no one would connect the two when Chao Lu took office, and thus gave the two the opportunity to continue plotting.

With the excellent performance of Chaolu's several errands, he has gradually gained a place in the court. Although he is still not as good as other princes, he is not an existence that is ignored after all.

In the following five years, Chaolu's duties became more and more important, and everything happened naturally. He also began to know what Dong Xing's plot meant, but even if he knew the truth, Chaolu never regretted it. Get on the big boat of Dong Xing.

Not long after, because Chaolu was reliable in his work, and he usually showed himself to be a loyal royalist party, he also came to the conclusion after several years of secret observation.

After that, he began to arrange some more important errands for Chaolu. Also in these years, Dong Xing's health was getting worse day by day.

Both Chao Lu and Dong Xing knew very well that the reason why Dong Xing's body was getting weaker and weaker was not because he was getting older, but because Dong Xing had been poisoned, and the poison could not be cured. I can only watch helplessly as I become weak day by day until I die.
