low-key is king

Chapter 15
Zhendong Prince's Mansion, the third wife lives in the hall!

Although this former behemoth of the Xuanyang Kingdom was in decline, the Zhendong Prince's Mansion built in Watanabe City still occupies a large area. At least several important figures in the direct line have their own living halls.

King Zhendong has been in a coma for a year, and because of the order of the princess, even the side concubine and the third lady are not allowed to enter the palace to pay their respects.

Therefore, the three wives of King Zhendong don't have much contact with each other at ordinary times.

The dinner that day was actually the third wife's intention to set up a game, trying to find a way to disarm the second son Lu who suddenly returned to the palace.

Unexpectedly, that kid was so lucky that he actually "taken" back the title deed.

Today's third wife lives in the palace, but her adopted son Lu Dai is not the only one. Besides the mother and son, there is also an old figure with a good appearance. It is the chief physician of the palace: Cao Song!
Speaking of which, as the chief physician of the palace, Cao Song's status may not be lower than that of the third wife Yan Ruoxia, or even higher.

But at this moment, in front of the third lady, Cao Song's posture is very low.

After all, this is not only the third wife of Zhendong Wangfu, but also another identity that he dare not neglect in the slightest.

"Doctor Cao, my sister asked me to ask you, how is the prince's illness?"

This is the opening remarks of the third lady Yan Ruoxia, and the word "sister" in her mouth is the person Cao Song fears the most. Otherwise, how could he be so humble to the third lady?
Because Cao Song knew that the elder sister mentioned by the three husbands was the queen of Xuanyang Kingdom and the most powerful woman in the entire Xuanyang Kingdom, and she was definitely not something that a small fourth-rank doctor like him could afford to provoke.

Moreover, with Cao Song's mentality, he naturally knew the true meaning of the third lady's question. It was definitely not to ask King Zhendong when he would be cured, but when he would be... put to death!
"Ma'am, it took me a month to see the results after a slow fire, but now, that kid Lu Xun is messing around, and it will take seven days at most, and you're done!"

Cao Song seemed a little excited about this, and in this way, his suspicion would be dispelled, and even the charge of ineffective medical treatment would not be imposed on him, which killed two birds with one stone.

"Lu Xun? What's going on?"

This was the first time the third lady had heard about this matter, so she asked it out with great interest, knowing that the land deed was recovered a few days ago was the biggest doubt in her heart.

But in the end, after some inquiring and no results, the mother and son both attributed the matter of Wang Datong's return to the land deed to luck, and it was definitely not the credit of the second son of the palace.

"That day I went to treat the prince as usual, but I didn't expect that boy Lu Xun to be there, and then..."

Now Cao Song described everything he saw in the palace that day in detail.

Although he himself was thoughtful, but in terms of intelligence, he asked himself that the third lady in front of him might be even more superior to him.

"Haha, I thought that kid Lu Xun might have some skills, but now it seems that he is just an idiot who wants to impress the public!"

After listening to Cao Songzhi's words, Lu Dai on the side immediately burst into laughter, and a smile appeared on the face of the third wife, Yan Ruoxia, involuntarily.

To be honest, Lu Dai always only knew how to be brave, and the third wife, Yan Ruoxia, was the brains behind him. After Wang Datong sent back the land deed, she was always a little doubtful.

Even if it can be attributed to luck in the end, Lu Xun is still the second son of the palace, and he is more legitimate than Lu Dai, the adopted son. If King Zhendong suddenly wakes up one day, maybe the overall situation will change.

But now after listening to Cao Song's words, Yan Ruoxia is really relieved.

This is not just as simple as shortening the life of King Zhendong from one month to seven days. Lu Xun's nonsense will probably lose the trust of the princess.

This has made it much easier for the third wife, mother and son to seize power in the palace in the future, and even let Lu Dai inherit the throne.

The two eldest sons of the palace, one crazy and the other stupid, seem to no longer pose too much threat to Lu Dai.

As long as the King of Zhendong dies, Lu Dai will take over the military power of the palace and take over the position of King of Zhendong, which is well deserved.

"Doctor Cao, the prince won't wake up suddenly, will he make a will?"

This may also be a problem that the third lady is worried about. If King Zhendong has a moment of sobriety and passes the throne to Lu Zheng or Lu Xun under the witness of everyone, then they will be passive at that time.

"Madam, don't worry, with me watching, nothing will go wrong!"

For this point, Cao Song is still very sure.

He had to go to Zhendong King to have a diagnosis and treatment every two days, which was called diagnosis and treatment but monitoring, and under his methods, Zhendong King Lu Mingyang had absolutely no chance of waking up.

"Also, have you really scoured all the Qingxin Pills and refining medicinal materials in Watanabe City?"

The third lady nodded, and suddenly remembered something again. You must know that Cao Song is not the only doctor in Watanabe Castle. If the princess had a sudden whim, it would be bad for them to fall short.

"Cao is sure about this matter. If Watanabe Castle can still find half of the main medicinal material for refining Qingxin Pill, madam is the only one to ask!"

Cao Song patted his chest to reassure, and then said: "Even if it is the branch of the International Business Alliance, it will take at least half a month to transfer medicinal materials from the nearest city. What's the point then?"

Speaking of this, Cao Song himself laughed first, and Lu Dai beside him laughed unabashedly.

After getting the answer she wanted, the third wife, Yan Ruoxia, lived up to her name, Yan Ruo Zhaoxia.

dong dong dong...

However, when the three of them looked at each other and laughed, someone knocked on the door of the main hall from the outside, and the sound was rather hasty, which made Lu Dai's expression of laughing, and instantly darkened.

"Master, it's me!"

However, a voice came from outside the hall, causing Lu Dai's mother and son's eyes to turn to Cao Song. It seems that they all recognized who the owner of the voice was.

"Ding Mao, what's the matter?"

Cao Song stepped forward to open the door of the palace, and saw that the outside was his most proud disciple Ding Mao. He frowned first, and then asked directly under the eyes of the two behind him.

For this disciple who has reached the second-rank doctor, Cao Song still values ​​it very much, and brought him by his side, directly to Watanabe Castle, and Ding Mao did not disappoint him.

Such a young second rank physician is much more noble than any second rank martial artist.

Leaving Cao Song as the master aside, just take it out as Ding Mao's second-rank doctor, and the ordinary three-level martial arts outside the world would not dare to neglect it in the slightest.

"Master..."

Ding Mao first bowed and saluted, and then glanced at the mother and son in the hall, as if he hesitated to speak, after all, he was not too clear about what the master did.

"Tell me, Madam and General Lu are not outsiders!"

So far, Cao Song has nothing to hide from this disciple.

In this case, the faces of the mother and son behind him eased a bit. They still value a fourth-rank doctor.

"Master, there is news from the Ten Thousand Nations Business Alliance that another batch of the three main herbs of Qingxin Pill has arrived today!"

However, Ding Mao's next sentence made Cao Song quite embarrassed, and also made Yan Ruoxia, the third lady behind him, frown.

The Chief Physician of the Palace just swore that Watanabe City would never find the main medicinal material for refining Qingxin Pill, and that he was the only one asking, but he was slapped in the face by his disciple in the blink of an eye.

"What's the matter with Guanshi Zheng? Didn't it mean that within half a month, there won't be any main ingredients for Qingxin Pill?"

Cao Jun made a low voice, he was asking, but also explaining to the mother and son behind him, after all, this turn of events was beyond his expectation.

"The other party didn't say the reason, Master, what should we do now?"

Naturally, Ding Mao couldn't give an answer, so he could only tell the truth, he just brought the news, and it was up to his master to decide how to proceed in the future.

"Notify Shen Chong, no matter how many gold beads you spend, you must buy this batch of medicinal materials!"

Cao Song didn't hesitate too much at all, or maybe he wanted to show decisiveness in front of the third wife, mother and son. After getting the master's instruction, Ding Mao directly left with his fists in his hands.

"Ma'am, General Lu, please spare me!"

Seeing his disciples leave, Cao Song suddenly felt a little restless, then cupped his hands towards the back and disappeared into the hall of the three ladies.

The mother and son who stayed in the hall looked at each other, and then the door of the hall closed automatically, and they didn't know what kind of romantic things happened in this living hall.

…………

IWC, trading hall on the second floor!

Although it is only a branch of the International Chamber of Commerce, the trading hall on the second floor requires at least VIPs holding purple cards to trade here, which is also a status symbol.

"Huh? This is... a double-sided mirror?"

Standing in front of a piece of transparent glass, Lu Xun seemed to have discovered something interesting, and in the depths of his mind, a certain reincarnation memory belonging to the earth also came to mind instantly.

Because Lu Xun knew that the front seemed transparent, and he could see the glass inside the trading room, but he couldn't see them on the opposite side. If he could see it inside the trading room, it was a mirror.

This kind of thing is very common in the earth in the memory of reincarnation, but I didn't expect it to exist here, which made Lu Xun feel a little bit emotional.

"Mr. Lu also knows about double-sided mirrors. He is really well-informed!"

Zheng Qian, the steward at the side, originally wanted to show off, but he didn't expect the other party to recognize him immediately, which also made him feel a little surprised.

What is the background of this Mr. Lu?
You must know that this double-sided mirror was obtained by Zheng Qian from the senior branch after great difficulty.

Even in Xuanyang country, there are not a few dollars. In this small Watanabe city, he believes that there are only a handful of people who can recognize the double-sided mirror.
