   Chapter 341 Courage

  The man's vigilant expression slowed down: "What's the matter?"

Lin Hao sat down, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea and put it in front of the man, and said straight to the point: "I have a nephew who was born different from ordinary people. He was hidden by his family and did not dare to see anyone. It happened that the servant was going to the south to run errands, and I heard that Because of Mr.'s deeds, I invited Mr. to ask if my little nephew can be as lucky as the child saved by Mr.

The    man's eyes flashed with displeasure: "That shouldn't have brought me here like a robber."

  Lin Hao saluted again: "It's true that the child's hidden illness cannot be humane to the outside world. Even if he invites the gentleman, he must keep the secret strictly, and I hope the gentleman will understand."

   After listening to Lin Hao's explanation, the man was silent for a while, and asked, "What's wrong with that child?"

  Lin Hao hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "He has a tail growing on his hip."

The    man raised his eyebrows slightly, looking surprised, but not so surprised.

  Lin Hao was overjoyed: "Can you help him get rid of it, sir?"

The    man shook his head: "It depends on the situation."

   Without waiting for Lin Hao to ask again, he explained: "It depends on whether there are bones in the tail. If it is just flesh and blood, it can be removed. If there are bones in the tail connected to the spine, it cannot be done. Once removed, there is a risk of paralysis."

   Lin Hao never thought of this situation.

   She thought about it and said, "Then please stay here for two days with peace of mind. No matter whether my nephew wants to see him or not, I will give him an answer after I discuss it with his parents."

  The man showed dissatisfaction: "You want to trap me here?"

Lin Hao opened the wooden box on the table, revealing a box full of silver ingots, and said earnestly, "Sir is a benevolent person, please bear with me for two days, whether it is successful or not, these are all gifts. I can cure my nephew's hidden illness, and I am very grateful."

  The man's face changed constantly, and finally nodded.

   Of course he wouldn't completely trust this woman who didn't even show her face, but if he didn't agree in this situation, there was nothing the other party could do to force her.

   "Thank you sir." Lin Hao thanked him solemnly and quietly returned to the palace.

   The couple had already reached an agreement on their plan once the little prince was cured. After Qi Shuo understood the situation, he went to see Emperor Tai'an.

   "What's the matter with Shuo'er?" Facing Qi Shuo, Emperor Tai'an smiled, completely different from the seriousness in front of his courtiers.

   "There is something I want to say to the emperor..."

   Emperor Tai'an signaled everyone else to step back, leaving only Liu Chuan by his side.

   "Some time ago, Ah Hao went south to work on errands. He heard an anecdote when he was passing by. After he came back, he mentioned it to Ah Hao, and Ah Hao thought of An An..."

  Unscented Flower Dew Shop has opened branches in many places, and it has a tendency to continue to expand. Many Lin Hao's men run around for business. In this way, even if Emperor Tai'an sent people to investigate later, they would not be able to catch the loopholes.

   At this time, Emperor Tai'an couldn't care about anything else at all, and asked with a livid face: "So, the Crown Princess has already met that person?"

   In the face of the emperor's coercion, Qi Shuo was still calm: "Ahao didn't show his true face, nor did he reveal An An's identity. No matter whether he succeeded or failed, that person would never know who was looking for him."

   Emperor Tai'an didn't say a word. It would be hot tomorrow, but the atmosphere was frozen. After a while, he asked in a deep voice, "Why did the Crown Princess do this?"

   Qi Shuo lowered his eyes and said calmly: "A good chance to know about An An by coincidence, and I heard this anecdote by chance, thinking that maybe God couldn't bear to see An An's pain all his life, so he gave him a chance..."

   Emperor Tai'an was silent for a moment, and then asked: "That person said that he can diagnose and treat, only after seeing someone to confirm?"

"Yes."

   There was another long silence. After a long time, Emperor Tai'an said lightly: "I know, you go back first."

   "The son retire."

  The room was so quiet that you could hear needles falling. Emperor Tai'an glanced sideways at Liu Chuan, and suddenly said, "What do you think the prince thinks?"

   He asked the Crown Princess why she did this, wondering if the two of them didn't understand that it was a thankless task.

  Liu Chuan was so frightened when asked, how dare he say nonsense: "The prince's house is kindhearted, and the brother-in-law is kind--"

   Tai'an didn't finish listening, got up and walked out.

   In the hot summer, Yungui Palace always looked a bit cooler than the surrounding area. When the emperor came, the palace people knelt on the ground, and they were all terrified.

   Emperor Tai'an met the little prince who could talk about running.

   When the little prince was born, he didn't realize it, but when he saw it today, Emperor Tai'an discovered that the child was born very much like him.

   This made his mood even more complicated.

   "I'll take a look."

  Although Emperor Tai'an didn't say it clearly, the little prince's wet nurse instantly understood what the emperor was looking for.

   She immediately turned pale, and subconsciously looked at the grandma in charge of Yungui Palace.

   Liu Chuan shouted, "Are you deaf?"

   Nurse's face turned pale, and with trembling hands, she untied the little prince's pants.

   Emperor Tai'an only glanced at it, then looked away with a dark face, and waved his hand in a suppressed discomfort: "Bring it in."

   He was sure again that he could never accept a son with a tail.

  The news that Emperor Tai'an came to Yungui Palace reached Concubine Zhuang's ears, which made Concubine Zhuang feel uneasy.

  Two images appeared alternately in Emperor Tai'an's mind after returning to the palace. One was the cute baby with eyebrows and eyes very similar to his, and the other was the disgusting and ugly tail.

   "Liu Chuan!"

   "The slave is here."

   Emperor Tai'an's face was a little ugly, and his lips were not much bloody: "Go and tell the prince, don't give up the identity of the little prince."

   It was still that humble residence, and Lin Hao appeared in front of the man with the little prince who was dressed like a child of an ordinary wealthy family.

   "Please take a look sir."

  The little prince is asleep, so it is convenient for the man to check.

   He checked it carefully, his tense expression softened a bit: "It can be removed."

  Lin Hao smiled: "That's great!"

  The man's tone changed: "But after all, it will hurt the flesh and blood. Even if it can be removed, there is a risk if the wound festers."

   "We understand that, compared to the pain this child will endure in his life, his family is willing to take this risk."

   "If that's the case, then it's fine." The man said a few things to get Lin ready.

The process of    treatment made the waiting people very tormented. Emperor Tai'an in the palace was restless and paced back and forth.

   Concubine Zhuang was even more nervous. For a while, he secretly complained that Emperor Tai'an did not care about the life and death of the little prince.

  Liu Chuan walked in and reported in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the little prince is back, and he is still in a drowsiness because he used Mabo San."

  Emperor Tai'an's eyes lit up: "Let the prince, the prince concubine!"

   Soon Qi Shuo and Lin Hao walked in.

   "How?" Emperor Tai'an stared at Lin Hao closely.

  Lin Hao smiled: "Thanks to the royal father, the gentleman successfully removed the excess. As long as he takes good care of the wound and prevents the wound from festering and festering, it will not be a big problem."

   In terms of wound care, the imperial doctor who knows the little prince's condition can take over.

   "Okay, okay!" Tai'an said three times in a row, but couldn't hide the joy on his face, "You guys have a heart."

   Concubine Zhuang was also smiling.

   "In this way, the gentleman will not let him leave first, and then wait for An An to recover." Tai'an ordered after calming down.

   "Father, don't worry, daughter-in-law will make arrangements."

   When Qi Shuo and Lin Hao left, Emperor Tai'an went to see the little prince in person.

   The little prince fell asleep, his buttocks were covered with white cloth, and the wound could not be seen, but he could see that it was flat.

   At this point, Emperor Tai'an was really relieved, and Concubine Zhuang couldn't help but shed tears.

   Next, Qi Shuo dealt with government affairs as usual, and Emperor Tai'an still only asked about important matters. In Baiguan Xungui's view, everything was business as usual.

  Only Qi Shuo and Lin Hao know that there will be changes soon.

   When he heard that the little prince could run down the ground, Qi Shuo and Lin Hao went to see Emperor Tai'an together.

   Emperor Tai'an smiled slightly when he saw the two of them: "I was about to call you here, and you will be here."

   "Is your father looking for us for something?" Qi Shuo asked with a smile.

   "Liu Chuan—"

   After hearing Emperor Tai'an shout, Liu Chuan came over with a scroll in both hands and unfolded it in front of Qi Shuo.

   Qi Shuo glanced at it and immediately knelt down.

   This turned out to be an edict of abdication!

  Lin Hao knelt beside Qi Shuo and stayed there too.

   They had already negotiated that if the little prince could be cured, he would take the initiative to give up the crown prince and leave the capital to live happily ever after, so as to avoid embarrassing each other in the end.

  Unexpectedly, before the proposal was made, the emperor first took out the edict of abdication.

   "Father, you are still young, and your son does not dare to accept this edict. I came here with Ah Hao today because I actually wanted to—"

   Emperor Tai'an interrupted Qi Shuo: "I know."

   Qi Shuo was startled.

The gray-haired emperor looked at the young couple kneeling on the ground, his eyes soft as water: "Shuo'er, I see how you have done over the past year in custody of the country. You are very good, and Hao is also very good. , we will leave the Qi family Jiangshan to you, I can rest assured."

   He is old, the little prince is still too young, even if he is no different from ordinary people, there are still so many years to come of age, who can guarantee that he is reliable?

   Even if it is reliable, will the children born also have that thing?

   Ten years younger, Tai'an Emperor would not be reconciled, but now he doesn't dare to gamble, and he doesn't want to gamble anymore. The actions of the prince and the prince's concubine in the matter of the little prince also gave him the courage to give up.

   "Accompany me to see An An. An An is still young, you should take more care of him when you become a brother and sister-in-law."

   Emperor Tai'an got up and headed for Yungui Palace with his hands behind his back.

   There is one more chapter that should be over. Tomorrow the child is going to participate in a competition, which is just a weekend off.
