No one except Xiaoyue knew about Xia Shang's poisoning, not even Qin Huairou.
People who went out to buy medicinal materials were also told not to leak the information.
The fighting outside the capital has not ended yet, and the Xia family members are a little reserved in the Prince's Mansion. Everyone stays where they are, and no one speaks.
Xia Shang was in a separate room, sitting on the bed looking a little uncomfortable.
Xiaoyue stayed in the room and hid in a corner, silently wiping her tears. After the wife in the same room left, she came over and asked her young master if it was okay.
Xia Shangqiang held on to his smile: "It doesn't matter, there are still people in the world who can be poisoned to death by his own poison?"
"..." Xiaoyue was silent, sighed softly, and continued to wipe her tears.
Xia Shang felt uncomfortable and felt a little more emotional in his heart. Among the many things that happened in recent years, Xia Shang had never had any unnecessary emotions, but what happened recently really made him a little tired. The only thing he thinks about now is
I hope everything will pass soon. If there is a chance to get away from these annoying things, he will definitely retreat.
"Da da da……"
There was a knock on the door outside.
"Come in." Xia Shang replied.
The door was pushed open, but the person who came in turned out to be Li Xiangyang!
Seeing Li Xiangyang, Xia Shang was slightly startled, and then immediately stood up, trying hard to maintain his energy so as not to be noticed by the other party.
"Your Highness."
"Hahaha..." Li Xiangyang smiled heartily, "Who would have thought that one day you, Xia Shang, would hide in my house? And you brought a wife and children with you. What on earth were you thinking?"
"This..." Xia Shang touched his nose awkwardly, not knowing how to explain.
"Xia Shang, I really like you more and more."
Xia Shang frowned: "Uh... I don't do homosexuality."
"..." Li Xiangyang obviously didn't understand this sentence, but he didn't dwell too much and continued, "Everyone in the world thinks that you and I are mortal enemies. Either you die or I die, but no one will
Come to think of it, we are both enemies and have a tacit understanding."
"There is a tacit understanding, but I don't understand what kind of tacit understanding His Highness is talking about?"
"This prince will not take action against your life or your family. And you will not threaten my life or the title of prince. This is
It's a tacit understanding. You and I are both smart people. We know that if anyone makes a wrong step, everything will be lost. Therefore, no matter what the circumstances, I will not think about taking your life."
After speaking, Li Xiangyang took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to Xia Shang.
After taking the note, Xia Shang's expression changed.
Written on this note was the list of medicinal materials he had previously asked his servants to purchase.
Before Xia Shang could speak, Li Xiangyang said: "There's no need to work in vain. Everyone in the capital is in danger now, and no shop is open at all. I have these medicinal materials in my house, and I have already asked people to prepare them."
Xia Shang paused for a moment, then bowed his hand: "Thank you very much."
Li Xiangyang turned his gaze to Xiaoyue: "Little girl, why don't you go make some medicine for your master?"
Xiaoyue looked at Xia Shang, Xia Shang nodded, and then Xiaoyue left.
After Xiaoyue left, Li Xiangyang sat down by himself and poured a cup of tea.
"Does this count as my prince saving your life?"
"It doesn't count." Xia Shang paused, "But it is a favor."
"The day before yesterday, you killed several of my men. Today, does this count as repaying evil with kindness?"
"Calculate."
"Although I, Li Xiangyang, am not as ruthless as Li Xin, I am not a merciful person either. I have treated you with all my kindness and righteousness, right?"
Xia Shang looked at Li Xiangyang: "Prince, what do you want to say?"
"After the hidden dangers of the Japanese people are dealt with, I can give you the general outline of the Book of Heaven."
"..." Xia Shang felt that the current conversation was a little strange and did not respond.
"When everything is calm, that will be the day when you ascend the throne."
Upon hearing this, Xia Shang took a deep breath and his eyes changed when he looked at Li Xiangyang.
Li Xiangyang also looked at Xia Shang with a more serious look.
After waiting for a long time, neither of them spoke. Finally, Xia Shang sneered: "When he ascends the throne, it is the prince's business. What's the point of telling a little person like me?"
"It's time now, there's no need for you and me to be so hypocritical."
Li Xiangyang pulled off a piece of white hair: "Look, time waits for no one, and the tacit understanding between you and me can only be maintained until now. I tell you, I don't want you to block it and cause trouble. Look at you again, look
Look at yourself...if the calculation is correct, you should be twenty-six, right?"
Xia Shang nodded.
Li Xiangyang reached out to Xia Shang, but Xia Shang did not dodge, and Li Xiangyang also removed a piece of Xia Shang's hair.
Seeing his hair, Xia Shang was also a little surprised and stunned.
Both hairs lay in Li Xiangyang's palm, there was no difference, they were both silvery white.
"Did you see it? Now you are not only old at heart, but also as a person. I know what you are pursuing. You want to change the world and you have your own passion. But after all, your surname is not Li.
The ideal of changing the world cannot be achieved by you alone. I don’t know what kind of world you want? But I, Li Xiangyang, sincerely want you to stop and take a look and see the world in my heart, Li Xiangyang.
What is it like? Why fight for power by any means? Because you and I both have a heart to change the world. I have been patient with you over and over again, just to give you a little more trust."
Xia Shang looked at Li Xiangyang and thought...
"Did you kill Li Zijin?"
"no."
"Where's Li Xin?"
"No."
There was another silence.
Li Xiangyang took a deep breath: "Killing people at every turn is the method I dislike the most. If I really know how to do such a thing, how can you live now? If you want to kill, I will be the first to kill you!
"
After hearing this, Xia Shang suddenly felt somewhat credible. Although the evidence obtained before pointed to Li Xiangyang, Li Xiangyang's words directly poked the biggest doubt in Xia Shang's mind.
As Li Xiangyang said, if everything was his doing, then the person he should kill most was himself. Why was it that when he and Li Xiangyang were fighting each other, the other party was not willing to risk their lives directly?
"Then do you know who did it?"
Li Xiangyang smiled: "If you are really interested, you can investigate the truth yourself. But this cannot be said from the mouth of this prince."
"Okay, I'll believe you for now, but you'd better not let me know that the matter really has something to do with you."
"Now, your greatest hostility towards this prince should have been resolved, right? Personal hatred aside, the reason why you have always been hostile to me is because you never believe that I can be a good emperor. Now, can you change your view?
?Try to believe me?"
"Okay, if everything goes well, you can go according to your plan, I won't make any trouble."
