"Brother Huang, are you referring to Xu Meiren?"
"Not only this, the emperor also heard that your legs are also..." Qin Su hesitated, looking embarrassed.
Seeing this, Qin Heng pursed his lips and smiled, shook his head, and said in a relaxed tone: "How can the rumors be taken seriously? Our mother has always loved us so much, how could she do such a thing."
"Moreover, I heard Liu Qi say that the incident involving Xu Meiren was done by Na Yu Bazi, and my father had also issued an order to the Yi tribe."
"So this is obviously someone behind the instigation."
As he spoke, Qin Heng's face showed a trace of anger.
It was as if the incident made him angry.
Qin Su looked a little unnatural and nodded: "I also believe in the queen. Originally, the emperor was worried that the emperor would misunderstand her."
"It seems like Brother Huang is overthinking."
"Haha, thank you for your concern, Brother Emperor." Qin Heng scratched his head, his face a little shy.
"Emperor..." Qin Su was interrupted by the sound of footsteps just as he was about to speak.
He looked up, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, stood up, and greeted him.
"Haha, your wife-in-law is here."
"Come, let me introduce you, this is your imperial sister-in-law Feng Yingying."
"This is your nephew Qin Xiang."
Qin Heng turned around and saw a sweet-looking and elegant woman walking in, pulling a young child.
The toddler looked restrained and carefully held the woman's hand.
"Qin Heng has met the emperor's sister-in-law."
Qin Heng bent down and bowed deeply.
"I have met the Eighth Emperor Brother." The woman's voice was like an oriole, and she also bowed and bowed in return.
"Xiang'er, quickly salute your uncle." Qin Su looked at the young child and chuckled.
Qin Xiang glanced at his mother timidly, then walked out slowly and bowed gracefully.
"Qin Xiang pays homage to the emperor's uncle."
"Get up quickly, the ground is cold." Qin Heng slid his wheelchair, stepped forward, and hurriedly leaned forward to help him up.
Qin Xiang stood up awkwardly, looked at his wheelchair, and asked curiously: "Uncle Emperor, is this a chair?"
Qin Heng smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is a wheelchair. The emperor's legs are inconvenient, so he can only sit in a wheelchair."
"Here, here's this for you. This is a greeting gift from your uncle."
Qin Heng took out a round jade pendant he had prepared in advance from his arms and handed it over.
Qin Xiang didn't seem to dare to reach out and take it, and turned his head to look at Qin Su.
"This is given to you by your uncle. Take it quickly. Your uncle is not an outsider."
Qin Su said kindly.
After hearing his father's agreement, Qin Xiang turned around and stretched out his two fleshy little hands to take it.
"Thank you, uncle."
"Haha, this kid Xiang'er is really sensible. It seems that the emperor has taught him a lot."
Qin Heng looked at his reserved look and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Obviously, the second emperor brother spent a lot of time instilling etiquette in his children, so he lost his innocence.
The next few people chatted happily in the lobby until noon, before Qin Heng said goodbye and left.
The next day, the news brought Liu Qi to You'an Mansion again.
In the study, Qin Heng stretched out his hand to signal.
"Cousin, sit down."
"promise."
As soon as Liu Qi sat on the chair, he couldn't wait to say: "Cousin, my grandfather asked me to tell you that the matter has come to an end."
"The queen loses power, my sister is in charge of the Phoenix Seal, and the servant will step down. My grandfather will recommend a candidate."
"And Xu Lai also joined the second prince."
"As for the Prime Minister, it can be said that this time it is a serious matter. All the forces in the harem have been pulled out, and all the informants have been executed by His Majesty."
"By the way, one more thing. Huo Meiren is sick and can no longer take care of the sixth princess."
"So His Majesty ordered that the sixth princess will be raised by my sister from now on."
Liu Qi was still breathless and told all the latest news.
What Qin Heng heard was frightening.
In just a few days, the four forces clashed.
The second prince just made a simple plan and caused everyone to compete with each other.
It can be seen from this that everyone is waiting for the opportunity.
And the mother-in-law can also say that when people sit at home, blessings fall from the sky.
However, he guessed in his heart that in addition to the Liu family behind his mother and concubine, his father might also have some compensation for him.
It's like a secret deal.
After this game, everyone except the Prime Minister got what they wanted.
But Qin Heng had an intuition in his heart that this matter was not over yet.
The Prime Minister will not stop here and will probably keep a close eye on the Second Prince.
Thinking of this, he suppressed his thoughts and asked instead: "Guo Can, how are the preparations in the past few days?"
"Everything is almost ready, and the store has been arranged. He stepped in to buy it."
"As for the manpower, they are all slaves he bought, and they are already training."
"Yeah." Qin Heng nodded.
He arranged for Guo Can to buy slaves.
Today, there are two types of slaves, one is a lowly slave with tattoos on his face, most of whom are war prisoners and some who have committed serious crimes.
The lowly slaves were basically in the hands of the imperial court.
Another type of slave is the ping slave, a person who is desperate and buys and sells.
Their status is relatively better than that of lowly slaves.
If you save enough money, you can even redeem yourself for freedom.
"By the way, cousin, the wine shop still doesn't have a name?"
Liu Qi's voice rang in his ears,
Qin Heng retracted his thoughts and looked thoughtful. After a while, his eyes lit up and he said, "Let's call the wine shop Guodi Lao."
"Find it from the bottom of the pot..." Liu Qi recited it in a low voice, and gradually a smile appeared on his face: "Yes, this name is simple, connotative, and catchy."
“And it’s in line with our wine shop.”
"Well, I'd like to trouble my cousin to take more care of the wine shop."
"Cousin, you're too polite. It's just a trivial matter. It's not worth mentioning. One family doesn't speak the same language."
Liu Qi grinned and said kindly,
Qin Heng was speechless when he saw this.
After staying for a while, Liu Qi stood up and left.
Qin Heng was the only one left in the study.
He tapped the jade fan on the table, seeming to be thinking about something in his mind.
"Afu."
He fanned himself, raised his head and shouted.
"My slave is here."
Ah Fu, who was standing at the door, hurriedly walked in.
"Call Xiaoyao over." Qin Heng ordered.
"promise."
Ah Fu responded and then walked out.
After a while, Xiaoyao walked in from outside the study.
"My servant pays homage to the Eighth Prince."
"Get up quickly."
"My cousin is here today and said that the mother-in-law is raising the sixth princess. You can buy some things for the baby and send them to the palace."
"By the way, I'll bring some supplements to my father and mother. They don't have to be expensive, they have to be what you like." Qin Heng said softly with a smile on his face.
"promise."
Xiaoyao straightened her face and bowed in response.
"Well, thank you for your hard work, go down and get ready."
Qin Heng waved his hand.
The father is kind, the son is filial, and the brothers are harmonious.
That parent doesn't want that.
It is most appropriate to leave this matter to Xiaoyao.
Xiaoyao is responsible for the current situation in the entire mansion.
Ah Fu is responsible for personal service, and Cao Zheng is responsible for his safety.
It can be said that these people have a clear division of labor.
