Chapter 137 Maybe This Time I Won’t Die
Qiao Ye then changed the subject.
"Didn't the Lu brothers and sisters say before that a distinguished person would come? I saw him today."
She talked about Lin Hao's plan to buy a bison.
"One of them is called Lin Hao and the other is called Qu Ji, did you know that?"
Lu Shao was slightly surprised, "I know, but I'm a little surprised that they came this time."
Qiao Ye asked curiously: "What are the identities of these two people?"
Lu Shao had long discovered that his young wife would ask him a lot of questions, things that he shouldn't have known.
She might have guessed that he was reborn.
But he also guessed that she might not be from this world.
Because she did not hide anything from him, many of her thoughts and words were not in line with the current situation.
However, they both tacitly agreed not to ask each other and just kept it as a little secret between each other.
When you need to share news, just ask.
That is why he replied: "Lin Hao is the legitimate youngest son of Marquis Guanjun and the nephew of the current queen."
"Qu Ji is the youngest legitimate son of Marquis Muyang."
"They are both very favored at home and are well-known dandies in the capital."
"But they mainly eat, drink and have fun, and they don't do anything like bullying men or women."
"Both of them are not bad characters. My lady is right. We can make friends."
Qiao Ye was also surprised. "From the way they were dressed and behaved, I felt that they were not simple people. I never thought that one of them would be the queen's nephew."
"I originally wanted to use the matter of catching the bison to make friends with the two and follow the path of the Lu brothers and sisters."
"But considering Lin Hao's status and his relationship with the Queen, is it appropriate for us to make friends?"
She looked at Lu Shao and asked, "Will it have any impact on you in the future?"
If the queen has a son, then by making friends with Lin Hao, Lu Shao might be involved in the fight for the throne in the future.
After all, from his words and deeds as well as some understanding of the future, it can be seen that he must have been in a high position in his previous life.
He is so confident that he can pass the exam, so his future achievements will definitely be great.
This way, he will definitely be won over by the prince.
If it will have an impact on the future, then there is no need to make friends with Lin Hao and the other one.
Lu Shao was stunned, obviously not expecting that his young wife would even think of this.
His guess turned out to be correct; her background was not simple.
Otherwise, how could a village girl think of Lin Hao's identity as being involved in the fight for the throne when she heard about it?
He chuckled and said, "It's okay. It's good to have more contact with Lin Hao."
"The Queen dotes on him very much."
Qiao Ye roughly understood what he meant when he heard it, "How many sons does the queen have?"
Lu Shao continued to fan Qiao Ye, "The queen has two sons, the third prince and the seventh prince."
"The third prince has been named the crown prince."
"And the Seventh Prince is the Emperor's most beloved son."
Qiao Ye asked tentatively: "So you think the prince will win?"
When Lu Shao heard this, his eyes darkened.
After a moment of silence, he said, "No, the winner is the Seventh Prince."
Qiao Ye was shocked, "Did the brothers start a fight?"
Lu Shao shook his head, "There is no fight, but the prince will die soon."
"The Seventh Prince never thought of becoming the emperor. It was the death of the Crown Prince that pushed him forward."
"If the prince were still alive, he would not choose to fight for the throne, but would become a free and easy prince as he wished."
In his previous life, he had taken refuge with the Seventh Prince and accompanied him on the dangerous journey to the throne.
So I know a lot of things.
I also know that after the Seventh Prince ascended the throne, he was actually very tired of dealing with court affairs.
But whether it is for revenge for his brother, to protect his mother's clan from being destroyed, or to protect himself, he has to fight for it no matter how much he dislikes it.
Qiao Ye could tell that Lu Shao had a little more emotion when he mentioned the Seventh Prince.
That means he was most likely following the Seventh Prince in his previous life, and they had a pretty strong relationship.
Since the Seventh Prince can become the Emperor, and he follows suit, then the scumbag eunuch and the others probably didn’t have a good end in their previous lives.
She asked, "How did the prince die?"
"If the Seventh Prince doesn't really want to be the emperor, then as long as the Crown Prince doesn't die, can't that solve the problem?"
Lu Shao said: "I got malaria when I went to Qiongzhou to handle official business."
He sighed. "There is no cure for malaria."
"And we don't know exactly when and how the prince contracted malaria."
"So it's hard to stop him from dying."
After he came back, he also thought about whether he could save the prince from death.
After all, the death of the crown prince was the greatest pain in the Seventh Prince's heart, and it was also the key to his madness and cruelty.
Although he was the Seventh Prince's aide, they had experienced several life and death situations together and the other party treated him very well.
The reason he was able to successfully take revenge, in addition to his own planning, was also because the other party was his most powerful backer.
Although the Seventh Prince still took the throne, it might be more beneficial to him. After all, he knew him very well and was confident that he could become his confidant again.
But he didn't want the other person to become like he was in his previous life, a moody madman.
Moreover, given the Seventh Prince's crazy and capricious personality due to the hatred in his heart, he is actually not suitable to be an emperor.
So he hoped that the Seventh Prince could live up to his wish and become a free and easy prince.
He also embarked on a completely different path from his previous life. This time he wanted to enter the government through the orthodox imperial examination and serve as an official in the court.
He is no longer the commander who is afraid when others mention him and call him a lackey behind his back.
But he didn't know the exact day the prince died.
Moreover, with his current status as not even a student, he cannot get close to the Crown Prince or the Seventh Prince.
The prince was pushed to go to Qiongzhou for work because of someone's calculations. The matter he was going to handle was very critical and could not be cancelled.
Moreover, according to the approximate time he knew, the prince should have decided to go to Qiongzhou for work and would leave soon, so there was no way to stop him.
Qiao Ye could hear the regret in Lu Shao's tone, as well as the feeling of powerlessness that could not be stopped.
It seems that he really values the Seventh Prince.
She knew about malaria, which was very difficult to treat in ancient times and there was no effective medicine to cure it.
For example, when Kangxi suffered from malaria, the imperial doctors tried everything but were helpless. In the end, it was thanks to the missionaries' quinine that he was cured.
She began, “I will make a pill that can prevent and treat malaria.”
They have a recipe for treating malaria, which is somewhat similar to cinchona, also known as quinine, but is more effective and has fewer side effects.
I have to say that maybe the prince is not destined to die this time.
She just happened to know how to make this kind of pill, and the prince's cousin Lin Hao just happened to want to buy a cow from her.
Lu Shao was stunned for a moment, and looked at her in surprise, "You can make pills to prevent and treat malaria?"
Qiao Ye nodded, "Yes."
"If you want to save the prince, we can use Lin Hao to deliver this pill to the prince."
"He won't die again."
As long as the prince is not dead, they can still get a favor.
Lu Shao held Qiao Ye's hand tightly with his other hand, "Thank you for your help, my lady. Make the pills in the next few days, and then I will let Lin Hao give them to the prince."
If the crown prince survives, it will do more good than harm to the future court.
Qiao Ye smiled and said, "Okay, but there is a medicine you need to find."
There are not many medicines to make pills, only three.
Two kinds of them can be picked in the mountains, but one kind cannot be picked because it grows in tropical areas, so you need to find it and buy it.
Lu Shao stood up and took a pen and paper. "Madam, please write down the name of the medicine. I will find it as soon as possible."
Qiao Ye put down the fan, wrote the name of the medicine on a piece of paper, drew its appearance, and noted its effects.
If the name of the medicine here is different from what she wrote, you can also find it according to this.
This kind of medicine should be available in larger pharmacies, but it probably won't be available in county pharmacies.
Lu Shao folded the paper and put it in his arms, "Okay, I'll go to the county town now."
Qiao Ye nodded, "Yeah."
