Forced into a substitute marriage? The concubine’s unparalleled medical skills amaze the world

The eunuch was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Even if it was the truth, he didn't dare to say it directly.

He replied cautiously: "How can your Majesty's decision be wrong?"

"Now that the world is at peace, the military power in the hands of the Regent must be handed over."

"What's more, the prince handed it over voluntarily."

"The prince probably also thinks it should be handed over."

Zhou Jinghan sighed heavily: "I hope he will always be that prince brother."

"I don't want to turn against him."

The eunuch on the side had his clothes soaked with sweat. He had never served the emperor before.

I was transferred here because my godfather was living out his life.

Although this position is close to the emperor and looks glamorous, it is actually extremely dangerous.

If you are not careful, you will die.

His godfather once told him that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, and one must be careful with what he says and does.

He didn't have much in his mind at the time, but now he fully understands the meaning of that sentence.

He had no doubt that if he said the wrong thing or if the emperor was suddenly unhappy, his life would be gone.

No wonder my godfather always said that his greatest wish in life was to live a peaceful life until retirement.

Zhou Jinghan tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, his expression changing unpredictably.

Didn’t Brother Wang always want him to grow up?

Now he has grown up according to his brother's ideas.

Even the imperial teacher said that he was becoming more and more like an emperor.

I believe that Brother Wang would be very pleased to see him like this now.

Zhou Jingxuan came out of the hall, his face gradually turning cold.

No wonder people always say that power moves people’s hearts, and it is also power that can quickly change a person.

Looking at Jing Han's appearance now, he felt that this sentence was indeed true.

Jing Han is different now than before. He has become suspicious.

It is common for emperors to be suspicious.

Zhou Jingxuan didn't think anything of it, he was just glad that his decision was right.

Free from worries, Jing Han now has more and more imperial aura.

It's a good thing that he has grown up and no longer needs to live under my wing.

From now on, he will hide away and accompany Ah Si to travel around the mountains and rivers.

Zhou Jingxuan felt particularly relaxed, as if all the burdens on him had been lifted off his shoulders.

He returned home with brisk steps.

On the third day after finishing all the matters, Zhou Jingxuan took Jiang Si and headed south.

It is now April and May, and the scenery along the way is just right.

He no longer had to rush, and the two of them walked slowly along the way.

Whenever we arrive at a place, we will stop to taste the local food and the beautiful scenery.

Their final destination is Langzhou.

First by land, then by water.

Zhou Jingxuan chartered a large boat, and the boatman was a fifty-year-old man.

He rolled up his sleeves and wore a bamboo hat. When he saw Zhou Jingxuan and Jiang Si boarding the boat, he kindly reminded them, "Master, do you want to hire some more guards?"

"The waterways are not safe these days. If you encounter pirates, you will die."

Zhou Jingxuan and Jiang Si did not bring many people with them. Besides the two of them, there were only An Er, Chun Zhu and a few other former secret guards.

Although there are not many people, they are much better than those so-called guards.

But the old boatman didn't know, he kindly reminded.

This group of people is a delight to the eyes.

If met by the pirates, this beautiful lady would be doomed.

That's why he kindly gave a reminder.

Jiang Si stepped forward and asked, "Since the pirates are rampant, how dare you do business, old man?"

The old boatman looked helpless: "That being said, there is no other way to support the family."

"Most masters would bring more guards with them after hearing my reminder. That way, even the pirates would hesitate a little when they see him."

"That's why I reminded you, old man."

"But I don't always see him. For example, I didn't see him in the last few trips."

"But who can say for sure? Maybe one day I'll be unlucky and run into him."

"We'd better prepare more."

The old boatman works on the water all year round, and the skin on his face is tanned.

Helping on the boat were also his sons.

In other words, his family's livelihood depends entirely on this boat, so they cannot stop.

Even if there are pirates, we can only do business with gritted teeth and pray for better luck.

Jiang Si asked again: "Since the pirates are so rampant, what do the government say?"

"Didn't anyone send anyone to suppress the bandits?"

The old boatman shook his head and looked around: "Don't speak so loudly, or we will be in trouble."

"At the beginning, the government was very aggressive and said that they would wipe out all the pirates."

"But we sent out several groups of people, and they all died at the hands of the pirates."

"Those pirates were so arrogant that they even sent the officers back."

"They also said that they would kill everyone who came!"

"In the end, the matter was left unresolved."

"Everyone can only gamble on their luck and see if they can avoid good fortune."

Jiang Si glanced at the old boatman and nodded: "So that's how it is."

"Thank you, old man."

After saying that, she followed Zhou Jingxuan and prepared to enter the boat.

The old boatman was stunned when he saw Jiang Si's action. It turned out that after he said so much, this lady was indifferent?

Are you still unwilling to hire some guards to ensure your safety?

He doesn't look like a stingy person, but I don't know why he would risk his life.

The old boatman looked at Jiang Si and the others, then looked at his own sons.

With just the few people here, if we encounter pirates, we will probably be doomed to death.

But if he didn't do this business, his family would be in urgent need of money.

The eldest brother has already met the girl, and the girl wants one hundred taels of silver, so they still have a lot of money left.

This time the guest was particularly generous and gave eighty taels of silver. As long as we make the money this time, we won't have to worry about the money for the boss's wedding.

The old boatman thought about it for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and decided to try his luck again.

Bet he won't run into pirates this time.

I didn’t meet him the last few times. I hope I’m not so unlucky to meet him this time!

Thinking of this, he made up his mind and soon set sail.

The boat was swaying on the water. It was not a very good boat but there were no other good boats left.

Only this one is relatively good.

Although the interior is not luxurious, it is cozy.

The boat was not moving fast, but Chunzhu still felt seasick.

She leaned weakly on the couch with a pale face, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes: "Princess, it is Chunzhu who has caused you trouble."

She was so weak that if she knew she was seasick, Chunzhu would not understand her condition at all since it was her first time on a boat.

At this moment, her face turned pale, and it seemed as if her three souls and seven spirits had gone away, and all her strength seemed to have been drained away.
