Because of Liu Ping's sensitive identity, Yang Fan has always avoided outsiders when interacting with him.This time Lin Mozhu fell ill suddenly, they lived in the courtyard and could not leave the courtyard easily.It was only after Yang Fan came a few times that he discovered that although Mao'er Hutong was remote and hard to find, it was actually behind a remote courtyard in Liu's residence.The Liu family has opened a pharmacy here for more than 20 years. Except for old acquaintances, no one knows about this pharmacy.

Living here is really far away from the hustle and bustle outside.

After feeding Lin Mozhu with medicine and watching him fall asleep, Yang Fan walked out of the room.At the door, Liu Ping stood under the corridor with his hands behind his back, looking at the night sky.Hearing the sound, he looked back at Yang Fan.

"Uncle." Yang Fan saluted him and said hello.

Liu Ping nodded, and after a moment of silence, he asked: "I heard from Heng'er that His Royal Highness the Third Prince is looking for trouble for you?"

Liu Ping is different from Liu Heng. Talking to Liu Heng about some things may cause extra problems, but talking to Liu Ping about some things may lead to guidance.So Yang Fan didn't hesitate much, and said that the third prince wanted to recruit him, but he refused.

After listening to him, Liu Ping stroked his beard and said, "You are right to refuse. Nowadays, the court is in turmoil, and it may turn upside down at any time. At this time, making friends with the princes is likely to cause trouble for the upper body." If you walk around, you will know more than ordinary people.The current situation in the palace is very bad. For the safety of the Liu family, he wants to sue his illness and resign from office.It's just that he has assumed the position of the court judge, and he also knows too many royal inside stories, so he can't get out of it.

Sighing, Liu Ping said again: "It's just that the third prince has not been very generous since he was a child. If you refuse in person, he must be jealous. Now he is just a prince. With Prince Ning protecting you, he can do nothing to you for the time being. But if In the future..."

Liu Ping didn't say what he said next, but smart people know what the next words are.The current third prince is worried that King Ning will not do anything to him, but if he becomes a great treasure in the future, King Ning will not be able to protect himself, let alone a small businessman?Sometimes, Yang Fan felt that this feudal imperial society was really fucked up.

And Yang Fan heard another meaning from Liu Ping's words, hesitantly asked: "Uncle, what do you mean, is this the most likely among these princes?" Yang Fan compared "three" gesture.

It is said that being with you is like being with a tiger. Liu Ping has spent half his life walking in the palace, and he has always been cautious in his words and deeds. In the past, he would never say a word about royal affairs to anyone.However, after communicating with Yang Fan several times, he found that this young man has great wisdom and is also a junior of his younger brother.

, and trust him a lot.So he didn't hide it this time, but he didn't say much, he just mentioned two words cryptically: "The Zhang family

"



Yang Fan understood when he heard it.

The Zhang family has two women in the harem, one is Queen Mother Zhang and the other is Concubine Zhang.With the empress dowager, out of filial piety, Emperor Hongframe must obey everywhere.Concubine Zhang Gui is backed by the Empress Dowager, and her power in the palace has surpassed that of the Empress. What's more deadly is that the Empress has no children.The women of the Zhang family took control of the harem, and the men of the Zhang family also produced a minister of the Ministry of War who holds real power.With these two great backers, the third prince is indeed the strongest contender for the throne.

However, Emperor Hongframe has always been on guard against the Zhang family, and it is also because of the Queen Mother that he has always tolerated the Zhang family.There have long been rumors in the outside world that the Queen Mother has been in poor health for the past few years. As long as the Queen Mother Zhang is gone, the Zhang family will lose this trump card, and it may be impossible for the Zhang family to dominate.

It is impossible for Liu Ping, who walks around the harem every day, to not know this truth, but he still thinks that the third prince is the most likely to become a great treasure.why?

Yang Fan fell into deep thought.Suddenly he thought of a possibility, his eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Liu Ping in amazement.

"Uncle, could it be that the emperor's body..." Could it be that the emperor was seriously ill and might die earlier than the queen mother?

Walls have ears, and Yang Fan didn't say the whole thing, but Liu Ping also knew what he said behind him. He was very surprised that Yang Fan could figure out the key points from his own words.

Seeing Liu Ping's expression, Yang Fan knew he had guessed right.But he didn't feel complacent because he guessed right, instead he was even more worried.If Emperor Hongframe's health is really bad, with the empress dowager and imperial concubine in control of the harem, it is most likely that the third prince will take the throne.This is not good news for him.

However, the matter of Hong Frame Emperor's poor health should be classified as a secret, few people know, at least the Zhang family does not know, otherwise the third prince would not go to the doctor in a sudden illness to collect money everywhere.Only Liu Ping, the court judge who personally diagnosed the emperor's pulse, will know best.Yang Fan didn't know why Liu Ping disclosed such important information to him today, but he was grateful from the bottom of his heart.

Yang Fan bowed to Liu Ping and saluted, "Uncle, thank you."

Liu Ping didn't respond, and turned to leave.He turned around the moon gate in the courtyard, looked up at the starry night sky, as if he saw the peerless beauty dancing on the platform under the night sky again.

Back then, she saved his life.Now, he speaks out to remind her son.

This is cause and effect, right?So just right, Yang Fan brought Lin Mozhu to the capital at this time, not only had an intersection with Prince Ning's mansion,

There is also an intersection between junior and junior.It was also because of Yang Fan's bridge that he thought of passing the news to King Ning through him.

After living in the partial courtyard of the Liu Mansion for three days, and after Lin Mozhu's situation had completely stabilized, Yang Fan took Lin Mozhu home.After this illness, Lin Mozhu's little face that had just gained weight some time ago disappeared again.Yang Fan felt sorry for him for having suffered this crime, but he was also glad that it was not a big problem and did not affect the child, otherwise how sad would Mo Zhu be?

Back in the mansion, Yang Fan settled Lin Mozhu, and went to Prince Ning's mansion that day.

"Is this true?" In the study, King Ning was shocked when he heard Yang Fan's words.

"My lord, the news is absolutely reliable." Yang Fan did not say who disclosed the news.But when he said that, King Ning believed it, and he immediately said: "Thank you, Brother Yang."

"My lord is serious."

Although it is said that Yang Fan is now doing business with Ning Wang in partnership, he has not intervened in the political affairs at all.If the news revealed by Liu Ping was not so important, Yang Fan would not have come to Prince Ning's Mansion in person.After informing Queen Ning, Yang Fan said goodbye and left.

As soon as he left, King Ning called out: "Yeyi."

Following his call, a masked man in black clothes suddenly appeared in the study and knelt down on one knee towards King Ning.

"Send someone to check."

"Yes, master."

After the dark guards left, King Ning stood in front of the desk with his hands behind his back, his heart agitated.It's not that he doesn't trust Yang Fan, it's just that this news is very important, and he has to verify it himself to make sure it's safe.If it is true as Yang Fan said, Brother Huang's body is already at the end of his strength, then he must make a plan early.For the sake of Yan'er, for the sake of his mother, he can no longer sit still and wait for death.

After returning from Prince Ning's Mansion, Yang Fan no longer took this matter to heart.Since he started doing business in this world, he has made it very clear that he will not participate in government affairs, not to mention seizing the heirloom, which will cause the whole family to lose their heads if they are not careful.If it wasn't for Yiqiao who met King Ning on the way to Beijing, and because he offended the third prince and was afraid of trouble in the future, he wouldn't want to get involved at all.Now that he passes this important news to King Ning, he can retire and return to the mansion to close the door and concentrate on accompanying Lin Mozhu to wait for delivery.

Yang Fan didn't care about King Ning's actions and didn't intervene. It didn't mean that he had absolute confidence in King Ning. He believed that he would be able to overthrow several princes and rise to power.But even if King Ning failed, he would not be afraid that the Third Prince would eventually ascend to the throne.So what if he offended the emperor of North Vietnam?Aren't there other three major countries?At worst, he took his family and ran away ahead of time.With the family property accumulated over the years, with his ability, I believe that he can flourish wherever he goes.

If it wasn't because Lin Mozhu was pregnant at this time and couldn't leave, he wouldn't care who became the emperor.Now he only hopes that the old emperor's life will be tougher, so that Lin Mozhu can give birth to the child safely.When the child is born, he will leave the capital with the whole family. At that time, these people will fight for the chair again, and it has nothing to do with him.

Of course, leaving the North Vietnamese country and looking for another place is the worst plan.If possible, Yang Fan still hopes that King Ning, an ally, can win.If King Ning wins, not only will he not have to give up his career in North Vietnam over the years, but he will also have an extra strong backer, so he can do business sideways in the future.

Of course, it's still too early to tell.At present, in the capital, at least on the surface, it is still calm.

As the days passed and the weather became colder and colder, Lin Mozhu's stomach grew bigger and bigger.After the frightening first three months, Lin Mozhu's pregnancy was finally settled.

After the frost, the temperature dropped sharply, and when it was the beginning of winter, the outside began to drip into ice in October.Winter in Beijing is much earlier and colder than in Chihu County.Fortunately, Yang Fan had already made sufficient preparations. The ground dragon in the house was re-laid, and the charcoal was also prepared early.

But during the period when Yang Fan was with Lin Mozhu in the mansion to raise a baby, something happened.Not long after the Double Ninth Festival, opposite Yang Fan's Zhiwei Restaurant, a new restaurant with a larger scale than Zhiwei Restaurant opened.This big restaurant called Dongxinglou sells the same dishes as Zhiwei Restaurant, even the taste is the same.The difference is that this restaurant does not entertain ordinary people, but only rich and powerful people who come here to consume.

Since the opening of this restaurant, the business of Zhiwei Restaurant has not been as good as before.Because this restaurant was opened by the fourth young master of Fu Guogong's mansion, he raised his arms and all the children of the aristocratic families in the capital went to Dongxing Building for dinner.Although these people account for the smallest number of consumers in Zhiwei Restaurant, they all spend a lot of money, and the amount of consumption accounts for a huge proportion of the restaurant's daily turnover.

Yang Fan thought with his toes and knew that this was the handwriting of the third prince.
