"The emperor doesn't dare. It seems that the emperor is visiting some of his brothers. It's just that he just arrived outside the palace and everything hasn't been taken care of yet."
"That's fine. If anything happens outside the palace, just tell the emperor. You're welcome."
Qin Mian nodded slightly.
"Your Majesty, I understand." Qin Heng looked at Qin Mian with gratitude on his face.
"By the way, Brother Huang brought some supplements today. You should take good care of your body."
"In a few years, Brother Huang will report to the Emperor to fight for a rich fiefdom for you, and he will not let you suffer."
Qin Mian smiled and spoke softly.
"Thank you, Brother Huang. Your brother is not talented, so you need to worry about it."
There was a trace of disappointment in Qin Heng's tone.
"Why should you be so polite with your royal brother?"
"By the way, this jade fan is my mother's favorite thing. You must take good care of it and don't damage it." Qin Mian pointed to the jade fan in Qin Heng's hand and spoke seriously.
Qin Heng held the jade fan tightly and solemnly promised: "Brother, don't worry, your brother will definitely cherish this fan."
"Haha, brother Huang has important matters, so it's inconvenient to stay for a long time. In a few days, you will go to the East Palace to sit down. It seems that you have never been there before."
Qin Mian nodded with satisfaction, and then walked confidently out of the hall.
Qin Heng motioned for Ah Fu to follow.
After being sent outside, Qin Heng sat in a wheelchair and watched the motorcade disappear from sight, his face full of emotion.
It wasn't until the motorcade disappeared that he put away his expression and calmly waved his hand, signaling to return.
In the study, Qin Heng held a jade fan and was in a misty mood.
The conversation with Qin Mian replayed repeatedly in his mind.
The implication of Qin Mian's words was that he should keep to himself, stay close to Qin Mian, and would arrange a favorable fiefdom for him in the future.
At the same time, he also cleverly provoked his relationship with other princes.
Qin Heng sneered in his heart, Qin Mian's methods really inherited the queen's style.
They are not easy to deal with.
While he was deep in thought, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
Qin Heng gathered his thoughts and looked up.
A guard walked in.
"Reporting to the Eighth Prince, Young Master Liu Qi has arrived."
"Let him in."
Qin Heng stretched out his hand to signal
"promise."
The guard bowed and retreated.
Qin Heng looked at the disappearing figure of the guard, with a flash of contemplation in his eyes.
At present, there are too few people in these mansions who can be trusted.
There's no telling how many people are taking rewards from other people.
It seems that I should pay more attention to it on weekdays.
"Meet the Eighth Prince."
Qin Heng woke up from a dream and turned around to look.
Liu Qi was already standing in the room, bending down to salute.
"Cousin, there is no need to be polite, sit down quickly."
"promise."
Liu Qi stood up straight, walked to the side and sat down.
"Fortunately, my cousin was late, otherwise I would have bumped into the prince."
"Oh, the prince came just now?"
"Well, I just left for a while."
"As the eldest prince, the prince has just left the palace, so he should come to visit, but he didn't expect to come today."
Liu Qi said strangely.
Qin Heng just smiled, did not answer, and said instead: "Let's go, it's getting late."
"promise."
When Liu Qi saw this, he quickly stood up.
The western area of Qin's capital was a marketplace, and Da Qin did not have regulations prohibiting trade, but instead strongly supported it.
For this reason, the West District was divided into markets.
There are many shops on both sides of the road, and the sounds of vendors can be heard constantly, making it a bustling scene.
Qin Heng was riding in Liu Qi's An car and looked at both sides curiously.
In order to keep a low profile, he deliberately did not take his Wang Qinggai car.
"Most of the shops on these two sides are owned by some clans."
"Only a few are opened by merchants."
Liu Qi pointed to the shops outside and introduced.
"Oh, I wonder what powerful clans there are in Qindu?" Qin Heng looked outside and asked curiously.
"In Qindu, the Li family and the Wu family are the most powerful, followed by the Wang family, the Zhang family, the Zheng family, and the Kong family."
Liu Qi thought for a moment and then spoke.
When Qin Heng heard this, he looked at him deeply and said nothing.
Unexpectedly, although my cousin is only two years older than me, he has quite a reserved personality.
As far as he knew, the Liu family was not weak enough to rank among the top three.
(The clan is composed of a surname, and the family is related by blood and represents the powerful. The two are slightly different. As for the gentry, it is the evolution of the family, and the meaning is almost the same.)
"Look, there's someone kneeling over there. I don't know what's going on."
"Let's go and have a look together."
"Everyone, please step aside and let me in."
"Don't squeeze..."
There was a sudden noise on the road ahead.
Qin Heng looked around and saw that the road was crowded with people, as if something big had happened.
Qin Heng was a little curious, so he signaled An Che to stop and said to Ah Fu outside the car: "Go and see what happened?"
"promise."
Ah Fu responded, and then walked towards the crowd with a few guards.
Qin Heng couldn't help but smile when he saw this. He was quite smart and knew how to bring a few guards there.
Otherwise, with Afu's small body, he might not even be able to squeeze in.
With Ah Fu's arrival, the crowded crowd suddenly gave way to a path.
It was obvious that their identities were unusual.
Qin Heng managed to see clearly what was going on inside through the gap in the crowd.
I saw a man in gray robes, kneeling on the ground with a sad expression. Next to him, also kneeling was a young girl about 10 years old.
The two men were in ragged clothes and had patches all over their bodies, making them look quite shabby.
In front of them, there was a piece of white cloth with words written on it.
Soon, Ah Fu came back with his guards.
Qin Heng looked at Ah Fu inquiringly.
Ah Fu turned to look at the guard beside him.
"Back to the Eighth Prince, according to the writing on the white cloth, the brother and sister came to the capital to treat their mother's illness.
"Unexpectedly, their mother was seriously ill and passed away. The two of them were penniless. The man wanted to sell his body to bury his mother."
The guard came forward and whispered.
When Qin Heng heard this, his heart moved. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing on his first day out.
This person is filial, literate, and has a good character.
Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea in his mind.
He waved the guard to retreat, turned to Liu Qi and said: "Cousin, you will send a servant to buy him later, and then take him back to the Liu Mansion. Tomorrow he will dress up as a servant and bring him to my house."
Liu Qi was slightly surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions. He quickly called the servant outside the car and gave instructions in a low voice.
The servant nodded slightly and walked away.
Seeing this, Qin Heng signaled Anche to continue moving forward.
He originally planned to find an opportunity to buy a few slaves and slowly train them.
But when he saw these two people just now, he suddenly had a new idea.
In the evening, Qin Heng returned to the house. After dinner, he came to the study.
His thoughts sank in and he entered the Poison Hall.
"Greetings, my lord."
The four of them seemed to have already known that he was coming.
As soon as Qin Heng opened his eyes, he saw four people saluting.
"Gentlemen, please take a seat."
Qin Heng pursed his lips and smiled, walked to the main seat and sat down.
"The prince came to visit today, and several gentlemen must have seen him."
"What do you gentlemen think?"
