I was a gentleman in ancient times

Qin Zhan lowered his head, he didn't even ride on the steps carried by the palace people, and just walked casually.

Mrs. Zhuan Tai will definitely not let it go. With the current situation of Xiqin, it is inevitable to form an alliance.The traditional method is to form an alliance by marriage, but Mrs. Zhuan Tai's proposal is not impossible.If all the courtiers agree to such an alliance, I'm afraid I can't refute it on my own.

It's not that he doesn't understand Mrs. Zhuan Tai's methods, after all, she still has a reputation after being in power for so many years.This is also the reason why Qin Zhan dare not disrespect Mrs. Tai, if Mrs. Tai really speaks out to marry Qin Zhan.As long as it is beneficial to the state of Qin, the courtiers cannot disagree, and when the time comes for the ministers to ask for orders, then they will be passive.

Thinking of this, he was inexplicably bored.He is dissatisfied when he thinks that his marriage will be controlled by others. He must become stronger in order to control his own destiny.

Turning around a low garden wall, I saw a dilapidated courtyard gate.Qin Zhan stamped his feet, as if he never thought that this place would be so dilapidated.

Just as Qin Zhan was deep in thought, a clever palace man stepped forward to explain Qin Zhan's doubts, "My lord, this is the palace of Mrs. Wan, the former king."

"Mrs. Wan?" Qin Zhan remembered the Mrs. Wan who was bestowed to death by Mrs. Zhuan Tai, "Is there anyone still living here?"

Qin Zhan asked casually, and the palace servants beside him faltered a little, not knowing how to reply.Qin Zhan frowned, he didn't intend to go in, half a day has been wasted today, and his government affairs haven't been finished yet.

Seeing that Qin Zhan was about to leave, the palace people around him breathed a sigh of relief.At this moment, a bang and bang was suddenly heard in the courtyard.Qin Zhan stopped, thought for a while, and then pushed open the concealed courtyard door and walked in.

A young girl with bright eyes and sharp teeth was hurriedly cleaning up the mess on the floor. A small copper stove beside her was burning, and something seemed to be simmering on the fire.

She looked annoyed, as if she was dissatisfied with her clumsiness.There was a coughing sound in the room, and a weak voice sounded, "What's the matter? What happened?"

"Nothing? I just accidentally broke two bowls." The girl hurriedly replied, and asked again: "Did I disturb you?"

There was another piercing cough in the room, which made people anxious.The girl quickly stood up, poured a bowl of water on the stone table, and prepared to serve it to the people in the room.

As soon as she turned around, she saw Qin Zhan standing behind.The girl's complexion changed, and she blessed herself, "I have seen the king."

Qin Zhan didn't know her, and the palace people around him had already reported back: "This is the daughter of Mrs. Wan, the king's younger sister, and Princess Ling."

Only then did Qin Zhan remember that Mrs. Wan had a son and a daughter. The son was Qin Xu, and the daughter was Princess Ling.Originally, he saw the dilapidated place and didn't even see a palace official, so he thought no one lived there, but he didn't expect that the two brothers and sisters lived here.

"Why don't you see a palace attendant?" Just now he saw her doing everything by himself, and there was not a single palace attendant in this courtyard.How can a dignified princess of a country do everything by herself, without even a servant by her side?

The people below are suffering, so they can only tell the truth.This palace was originally a generation that favored the high and trampled the low. When the former king passed away, Mrs. Wan was buried with her, leaving only two lonely children.After Qin Zhan succeeded to the throne, the situation of the two brothers and sisters Qin Xu and Qin Ling who had no backers in the palace can be imagined.

Moreover, Mrs. Zhuantai made great efforts to rectify the palace later. After the bloodbath, the palace servants who served here had long since died and dispersed.The two brothers and sisters are even more neglected. Since no one speaks at the top, how can the people below meddle in their own business?Until now, it has become like this.

Qin Ling curled her lips, isn't this asking knowingly?But why did Qin Zhan suddenly appear here today?Thinking of his elder brother, he suddenly realized that there must be no good for him coming here.

"Why did your majesty come to compare today? We, brother and sister, have always kept our own place, and we have never stepped out of here." Qin Ling said anxiously: "You have seen the situation here, for the sake of the father, we are still here." Please give us a way out."

Qin Zhan walked over slowly, looked at the soup boiling on the fire, "Whose is this?"

Qin Ling turned pale with shock, "I, mine."

Qin Zhan raised the corners of his mouth. The girl opened her eyes and was talking nonsense. She was obviously alive and kicking alone, and even concealed that the medicine belonged to her.

"How long has Wang Zixu been ill? Did the imperial physician come to see him?" Qin Zhan exposed Qin Ling's lie with one sentence.

Sure enough, Qin Ling's complexion changed again and again, and then he whispered: "My brother has been in poor health since the late king and mother left. At the beginning, I asked the imperial physician to prescribe a few medicines, but later..." She said In the end, I was so choked up that I couldn't make a sound.

Qin Zhan looked at the palace man next to him. He had no choice but to explain.It turned out that Wang Zixu was frightened and heartbroken at the beginning, and he couldn't afford to fall ill.Although the Imperial Physician Order had prescribed medicine, his condition was capricious and had no good effect.Later, when Mrs. Zhuantai came to power, she hated Mrs. Wan, so she naturally ignored Mrs. Wan's two children.Because of Wang Zixu's embarrassing status, no future influence, and no benefits, who is willing to support him wholeheartedly?

At the beginning, the two brothers and sisters had the spare money left by Mrs. Wan to live on, and they bribed the imperial physicians from the palace to help them do things.It's just that they are just sitting and eating, and after the remaining things are sold off, there will be no more benefits from the two of them, so no one is willing to help.Therefore, gradually, people who are too hospitalized are reluctant to come here.

The decoction that Qin Ling decocted today was also made by Qin Ling when he went out to ask a doctor to prepare it, and then brought it back to cook it by himself.Even though life is difficult, Qin Ling still refuses to give up. Qin Xu is his only relative, and the two of them can still support each other in the palace and hug each other for warmth.If I were left alone, I'm afraid I couldn't escape the fate of dying in a corner in the end.

Qin Zhan's face was gloomy when he heard that, he had really controlled Xiqin for less than a year, because he had put all his energy on the affairs of the previous dynasty.Because of Mrs. Zhuan Tai, he didn't pay much attention to the matter in the harem. He didn't expect the princes and daughters of the former king to be treated like this by those palace people.

But thinking about it, the two siblings, Qin Xu and Qin Ling, are in an awkward position because of Mrs. Wan.Palace people have always acted according to the face of those in power. When Mrs. Wan suppressed Qin Zhan, she and Mrs. Zhuantai also tore their faces.Under such circumstances, who would dare to take chances, if the king and Mrs. Tai want to settle accounts after the fall, wouldn't they be implicated?It's better to get rid of the relationship early.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhan already fully understood that the situation of the two brothers and sisters is not the same as him back then?However, back then he was isolated and helpless, and could only let others dictate his fate.But now the two brothers and sisters depend on each other for life, which is much better than he was then.

"Cough cough cough... Ah Ling? Cough cough... But someone is here? You don't want to argue with them, see what we have, just send them away. Cough cough cough..." Qin Xu's voice sounded , Just a few words, he was so tired that he was out of breath.

Qin Zhan walked towards the hall, Qin Ling anxiously wanted to stop him, but there was no way to stop him, so he could only watch Qin Zhan walk in.

Qin Ling stomped her feet, fearing that if Qin Zhan was unhappy seeing her brother, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Wang Zixu, who was lying on the couch, heard the door open, and saw a tall figure in a trance, it was not A Ling.His heart skipped a beat, and he didn't see clearly until Qin Zhan walked in.Rolling and crawling, he rolled down on the couch, prostrated himself on the ground, his whole body was trembling, "Ahem... see... the king."

Did Qin Wangzhan finally think of him?Is it to be bestowed with death or to be distributed?

Qin Zhan saw that he was shivering. He was wearing thin old clothes, and there was only a thin quilt on the couch. It was already late autumn, and it was already cold, but...

Qin Zhan has a deep understanding of the coldness of the world.Originally, he didn't have much feeling for Qin Xu, after all, he was just a stranger in the name of his younger brother.But when he really saw his situation, the string in his heart was touched.If I hadn't met my husband and failed to win the coup, would I be in the same situation as the person in front of me, or not as good as him at all.

Qin Zhan sighed, and stretched out his hand to help him up, "You are also my younger brother, but the palace people treat each other harshly. It seems that this harem has to be rectified."

Qin Zhan's cold words made Qin Xu even more terrified. If he made Wang Da go to war because of him, the situation of the two brothers and sisters would be even more difficult in the future.

"Ahem... Your Majesty don't need to be angry, it's none of their business... Cough, cough!" Qin Xu was out of breath with a single sentence, and his face turned red.

Qin Zhan turned around and scolded the palace servants around him, "What are you still doing in a daze? Go and call the imperial physician to come over. It's the prince's and princess's duty to find out who has been embezzled. He must be severely punished!"

The palace people tremblingly took their orders and left. They had served the king for so long, so of course they knew that the king was really angry, and they didn't know how many people would be involved in this matter.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty does not need to..." Qin Xu's face was pale, full of fear.

Qin Ling came in with a bowl of soup and medicine. She had just seen the palace servants running out in panic, and she didn't know what would happen.So she bit the bullet and came in, no matter what, she would help her brother.

Qin Zhan ignored Qin Xu, and said to Qin Ling: "The widow has already sent someone to call the imperial physician to order the best medicine for Wang Zixu. There is no need for you."

Qin Ling was stunned. She didn't believe that Qin Zhan would be so kind. He ignored them for more than two years, and now he suddenly cared about them.

Qin Ling looked at Qin Zhan suspiciously, and asked cautiously: "What do you want to do? Or what do you want to use our brother and sister to do?"

Qin Zhan was taken aback, what could he use the two of them for?But after thinking about it, it is not impossible to use it.In fact, as a prince and princess, which one is not a victim of royal power?

"Ah Ling! Cough cough cough...don't talk nonsense!" Qin Xu scolded Qin Ling, and apologized to Qin Zhan, "My lord, Ling'er is ignorant, so don't blame me, my lord."

Qin Ling's back was chilled by Qin Zhan's thoughtful gaze, and he didn't dare to refute his brother's scolding, so he could only shrink his neck.

Fortunately, the imperial physician's order came quickly, breaking the embarrassment in the room.

The Imperial Physician Ling had long heard the cause and effect of the palace people, and now he felt sorry for him.Who would have thought that after the death of the previous king, the down and out prince who had no backer in the palace would suddenly be discovered by the king one day, and the king seemed to have no intention of settling old accounts, and gave the prince corresponding treatment.

Feng Shui turns around, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, those people who have made trouble may not be able to please them now.

The imperial doctor Ling tremblingly felt Qin Xu's pulse, and said cautiously: "Prince Xu, this is the root cause of the disease before, and his heart was damaged. Later, he thought too much and hurt the root, which is why he became what he is now."

Qin Ling stepped forward, "The imperial physician orders, can it be cured?"

The imperial doctor Ling stroked his beard tremblingly, "Yes, Wang Zixu is young after all, and his body is still there. He only needs good herbs to warm and nourish him for a while, and I believe he will get better."

Only then did Qin Ling feel relieved, but when she heard what the imperial physician said was a good medicinal material, she couldn't help but look up at Qin Zhan. It would not be a big deal when her father was still alive.But now Qin Zhan doesn't know what An's heart is. Their valuables have long been sold or cheated away by the palace people. Now it is difficult to support them only by themselves.

Qin Zhan has already spoken, "Just use any good medicinal materials you need, and the prince and princess will make up for it."

Qin Xu and Qin Ling were stunned when they heard the words, they were all clear about what their mother did in the palace.If it weren't for their mother, it would be impossible for Qin Zhan to be sent to Yingyang Academy. In fact, this is a disguised assignment.Unexpectedly, now that Qin Zhan became the king of West Qin, not only did he not care about their mother's fault, but he really regarded them as his younger siblings.

At this time, the thorns all over Qin Ling's body could only be restrained. Anyway, they were already like this, so what else could Qin Zhan want to covet?

In fact, since Qin Zhan came to the throne, he really didn't do anything drastic to these princes and grandchildren.When Mrs. Zhuan Tai was in power, she entrusted or relegated the capable princes. Prince Xu escaped the catastrophe because of a serious illness and did not fall into the eyes of Queen Zhuan.It can be said that the person they should really hate is Mrs. Tai, who personally gave her mother to death, which has nothing to do with Qin Zhan.

So Qin Ling's dissatisfaction with Qin Zhan was just venting his anger. Thinking of this, Qin Ling felt a little guilty.

After the imperial physician's consultation, he went to get the medicine, Qin Ling couldn't stay longer, so he followed the imperial physician's order and went out.

Qin Xu struggled to stay on the bed and wanted to thank Qin Zhan, but Qin Zhan held him down and told him to take good care of his illness, so that he would be useful in the future.

Qin Zhan left, but Qin Xu fell into deep thought. What did Qin Zhan mean by that?What do you mean there will be places where he can be used in the future?What can I do for him?

Now that Qin Zhan has brought Mrs. Zhuan Tai down, that position has long been secured.As for himself, he is just a crippled person lingering on his last breath, being able to be used by the King of Qin, does it mean that he can still be useful?

Qin Xu lay back on the couch dejectedly, his eyes were full of self-mockery, he had never experienced worldly hardships under the protection of his mother before.In the past two years, he has completely seen the ugly faces of the world.

Since Qin Zhan has already expressed his obvious meaning, he doesn't have to be fake.He tried his best to be a useful person to Qin Zhan. At least in this way, he, as an older brother, could protect his younger sister. Qin Xu clenched his fists.
