The door creaked open, and a maid came out in a panic with a pale face and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, Xu Liangren gave birth to a princess who was bleeding profusely and has passed away."
Qin Huang suddenly swayed and closed his eyes in pain.
"Your Majesty, my condolences."
The queen quickly stepped forward and carefully supported Emperor Qin.
Qin Huang stabilized his figure, and after a while, he slowly recovered.
"Xu Liang had meritorious service in giving birth to a son. He was awarded the title of Beauty and was ordered to be buried in the honor of Chang Hao."
"promise."
Zhao Gan responded quickly behind him.
"Your Majesty, the sixth princess lost her aunt just after she was born, why not let a younger sister adopt her?" the queen suggested softly with a look of sadness on her face.
A trace of hesitation flashed in Emperor Qin's eyes.
"Your Majesty, I dare to ask for mercy." A beautiful woman came forward, knelt on the ground, and begged.
"What kind of grace do you want from Home?"
Emperor Qin looked down.
"I have no children so far, why don't you let me raise you?" Huo Ru begged.
"Your Majesty, Sister Huo has always been law-abiding, humble and courteous since she came to the palace. She still has no children, so why not let her raise the sixth princess?" the queen advised from the side.
Emperor Qin was stunned for a moment, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
He clenched his fists and forced himself to calm down.
He turned his head and gave the queen a cold look.
A hint of panic flashed in the queen's eyes, and she quickly lowered her head.
"allow."
Qin Huang vomited in a cold voice, then turned and left.
"I thank Your Majesty." Huo Ru was overjoyed when he heard this and thanked you hurriedly.
"Farewell to Your Majesty."
"It's getting late, let's all disperse."
The queen regained her composure and waved her hand.
"promise."
Everyone dispersed one after another.
"You guys go in and clean up."
The queen said to the maid beside her.
"promise."
At this time, Huo Ru was the only one left in the entire courtyard.
The queen turned around, looked at her expressionlessly, and said calmly: "Treat the Sixth Princess well from now on."
Huo Ru quickly knelt down and said sincerely: "I will definitely treat the Sixth Princess as my own and will not let her suffer at all."
"It's best this way." The Queen said coldly.
"I would like to thank the Queen." Huo Ru looked grateful.
"No need to thank me, just remember what you promised me." The queen stared at her closely.
"Don't worry, I will send a letter to my father tomorrow." Huo Ru nodded hurriedly and promised.
"Um."
The queen nodded with satisfaction, turned around, looked into the restaurant, and remained silent.
The next day, two letters of greeting were delivered to Qin Heng.
As expected, it was the second prince.
As mentioned in the invitation, I came to visit you today.
The other letter surprised him slightly.
The person who sent the post was Wang Baobao.
It was his imperial sister's consort.
The son of Wang Li, the governor of Su Neishi at that time, came to visit him the day specified in the invitation.
As far as he knew, Wang Li was not taking sides at the moment.
No matter how the other princes tried to win over him, they still did not express their stance.
"Looks like he's another old fox."
"To report to the Eighth Prince, Young Master Liu Qi is here." Ah Fu walked in with light steps.
Qin Heng raised his eyelids and said softly: "Bring him here."
"promise."
Ah Fu bowed and retreated.
After a moment, Ah Fu walked in with Liu Qi.
"Meet the Eighth Prince."
"No need to be polite, cousin, sit down quickly."
Qin Heng pointed to the chair next to him and said.
"promise."
"Ah Fu, send the guards away. You and Cao are guarding the door and don't allow anyone to come near."
Qin Heng turned around and said.
"promise."
Ah Fu understood, turned around and walked out.
Qin Heng withdrew his gaze and looked at Liu Qi: "Has everyone made arrangements?"
"Everything has been arranged. His mother has been buried and is now outside the door."
Liu Qi nodded.
"He didn't bring his sister."
"No, bringing a woman would arouse suspicion, so I didn't bring her." Liu Qi shook his head.
After hearing this, Qin Heng felt somewhat satisfied.
This cousin has a good ability to do things and thinks about everything.
I forgot to give my instructions yesterday, and I was really afraid that he would bring the girl here today.
"Bring him in."
"No." Liu Qi stood up and walked towards the door.
Immediately afterwards, the man from yesterday walked in cautiously, bending over.
"Common people meet the Eighth Prince."
The man knelt on the ground and bowed his head in salute.
"Keep your head up."
Qin Heng said calmly.
Hearing this, the man raised his head tremblingly, his eyes drooped slightly, and he did not dare to look directly.
Qin Heng looked carefully and saw that the man was about 24 or 25 years old, with slightly yellow skin and a simple and honest appearance. A quick look made him feel a little fond of him.
"What's your name?"
"Guo Can, a common man."
"Where does home come from?"
"Tangshan County, Wenyu County, Fushui Township, Guojiacun."
Qin Heng was a little surprised. Tangshan County is located in the north of Qin Capital, with five or six counties in between.
He didn't understand why he came so far to seek medical treatment in Qindu.
"What disease does your mother suffer from and why do you come to Qindu to seek medical treatment?" Qin Heng asked curiously.
Guo Can showed a trace of sadness on his face and replied: "My late mother was suffering from a gas disease, and she was not cured even after seeking medical treatment. In desperation, she had no choice but to come to Qindu to try her luck."
"Unexpectedly, my late mother fell seriously ill and passed away as soon as she arrived in Qindu."
As he spoke, tears of sadness fell from his eyes.
"Oh, you are a filial son." Qin Heng sighed.
"Has your mother's funeral arrangements been settled?"
"Back to the Eighth Prince, Mr. Liu has already helped arrange the arrangements."
Guo Can looked touched.
"I see you are literate. Have you ever attended private school?"
"Back to the Eighth Prince, Cao Min's family was once a merchant's home, so he went to private school for a few years. Later, his father passed away and his mother fell ill due to grief. Cao Min had no choice but to sell his business and go out to seek medical treatment."
Hearing this, Qin Heng nodded. If it was a merchant's family, it would not be surprising. After all, it had certain financial resources to send its children to private schools.
"Besides your sister, do you have any relatives?"
Guo Can shook his head: "My family is in decline, so I am still unmarried and only have one kiss from my roommate."
"In this case, I will find a way out for you two brothers and sisters."
"This prince wants to open a wine shop, and I plan to let you run it."
"I don't know if you are qualified for the job." Qin Heng stared at him closely with his deep eyes.
Guo Can's body trembled and he was speechless.
He had been sold into slavery and was ready to be a servant.
Unexpectedly, he was asked to run a wine shop.
This was completely different from what he had in mind.
"how?"
"Don't want to?"
Guo Can woke up suddenly, with a trace of nervousness on his face, and said quickly: "The grass...the grass people are willing, but the grass people are afraid of poor management and will be unworthy of the Eighth Prince's cultivation."
"It's okay. This prince will naturally tell you what to do. You just need to do things steadily."
Qin Heng waved his hand carelessly.
With memories of his past life, he felt that it would be no problem to open a small wine shop.
"Grass...Grass people obey orders."
Seeing him say this, Guo Can immediately felt relieved and responded excitedly.
"Well, there are detailed records on these scrolls. You can take note of them when you go back. Mr. Liu will help you behind the scenes."
Qin Heng picked up a stack of rolling papers from the table and handed it over.
