As far as Liu Yisheng was concerned, Xiao Liulang and Yu Qinw.a.n.g had heard of him but had never seen him. They only knew that he was a descendant of the former Imperial Consort Liu’s maternal family, and were implicated by Imperial Consort Liu and his family, causing his life in the capital to be fraught with difficulty.
They didn"t expect that the two children would be rescued by him.
Yu Qinw.a.n.g personally sent him a gift of grat.i.tude, saying, "Many thanks to Young Master Liu for saving my dog of a son. I hope Young Master Liu will accept my grat.i.tude."
Liu Yisheng was desperately short of money, so he accepted it generously without refusing.
Yu Qinw.a.n.g was very satisfied. He didn’t like to owe people favors. The other party accepting his thankyou gift meant that the other party also had the same intention.
He couldn"t help but look at him again carefully, "I heard about your situation in the capital. Would you like to go to the State of Liang with us?"
Back then, the Liu Family colluded with the State of Chen, not the State of Liang, hence there was no such sensitive political relationship between Liu Yisheng and Yu Qinw.a.n.g. And even if there was, with Yu Qinw.a.n.g"s ability, he could still protect one Liu Yisheng.
Liu Yisheng responded, "Many thanks for w.a.n.gye’s kindness. It’s just that… this humble one doesn"t want to leave here yet."
Liu Yisheng never beat around the bush when speaking or doing things, which was much better than the hypocritical politeness of other young people.
Yu Qinw.a.n.g didn"t question Liu Yisheng about what else in the capital made him continue to stay here when his situation was already like this. After saying a few words of grat.i.tude, Yu Qinw.a.n.g went to the next room to check on Ming"er.
Only Xiao Liulang and Liu Yisheng were left in the room.
Xiao Liulang naturally wanted to express his grat.i.tude as well. He recently earned some money by writing articles for others, which he originally intended to give to Gu Jiao. But now, it was okay to give it as a reward first.
In addition to remuneration, he also grabbed two books Old Feng left him and put them in a brocade box.
What he didn"t expect was that Liu Yisheng would refuse it.
"Why?" Xiao Liulang looked at him, puzzled.
Liu Yisheng looked at Xiao Liulang and said, "Physician Gu treated me, either by taking less money or none at all. I owe Physician Gu a favor, so I can"t accept your reward."
Xiao Liulang couldn’t help re-a.s.sessing Liu Yisheng—— except for his pale face, his eyes and brows were clear and attractive, his lips were ruddy and his teeth were white. It was a handsome countenance.
So, one An Junw.a.n.g was not enough, now there was another Liu Yisheng?
Xiao Liulang"s eyes suddenly became chilly!
Liu Yisheng：“…”
…..
Ming"er"s injury was a bit serious. The blow of the wooden stick almost broke his spine, but even though his spine was saved, his spleen was ruptured.
After Little Jing Kong fell asleep in Gu Jiao"s arms, Gu Jiao put Little Jing Kong on the bed, pulled up the quilt and covered him, then went next door to check Ming"er"s situation.
Ming"er was asleep too.
Yu Qinw.a.n.gfei"s eyes were red and swollen. After Ming"er said that he got his brother back for her and told her not to cry, her tears never stopped.
She felt heartache and remorse, but also satisfaction and happiness from being loved so much.
The pain of losing her baby seemed to fade into insignificance at this moment. Looking at the child who had almost died for her, she suddenly felt that being his mother was the greatest honor in this life.
"Young Miss Gu, I really thank you this time… Thank you for saving Ming"er again…" Yu Qin w.a.n.gfei got up and thanked Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao stopped her from bowing and shook her head slightly, "Don"t thank me, it"s you who really saved him."
When Gu Jiao operated on Ming"er, Ming"er was in a critical condition of ma.s.sive bleeding and needed an urgent blood transfusion.
Unfortunately, Ming"er had very rare ‘panda blood’ and no one present matched his blood type, except for Yu Qinw.a.n.gfei.
[T/N: “Panda blood” refers to the Rh-negative blood type in China, which, as the phrase suggests, is “as rare as pandas”.]
It was Yu Qinw.a.n.gfei who gave Ming"er a second life.
Gu Jiao firmly said, "From now on, your blood will also flow in his body."
Yu Qinw.a.n.gfei choked with sobs while nodding. She leaned over and touched Ming"er"s forehead with her forehead as two warm tears dripped down.
Even without this, he would always be her son.
Ming"er continued to recuperate in Gu Jiao"s small courtyard.
Little Jing Kong came to the medical hall after school to keep him company. Obviously, the two of them who had experienced child abduction together became real brothers.
Even though Little Jing Kong already knew that he wasn’t his real brother, it didn’t hinder the revolutionary friendship cultivated between the two of them.
Ming"er spoke the language of the State of Zhao very well, but Little Jing Kong"s State of Liang language proficiency was still lacking, so Ming"er tutored him from time to time.
With a language-rich environment, Little Jing Kong"s proficiency in the State of Liang’s language had made great progress.
One day, Little Jing Kong accompanied Ming"er to bask in the sun in the yard.
Ming"er suddenly said to Little Jing Kong, "I want to be a general in the future. How about you?"
Little Jing Kong thought for a moment before replying seriously, "I want to study, pa.s.s the imperial exam and become the Zhuangyuan!"
Ming"er suddenly felt disappointed, "I wish you become a general too. In the future, if our two countries are at war, I will retreat thirty li for you!"
Little Jing Kong was successfully led astray by him, imagining a small picture of himself leading troops for battle. He patted his chest and said, "Then I won"t kill your soldiers!"
……
As the fourth month rolled around, Ming"er"s injury gradually healed and the negotiations between the two countries were coming to an end.
Although Yu Qinw.a.n.g no longer asked for the child, he didn"t take back the colored gla.s.s technology and gave it to the State of Zhao as an equivalent exchange.
As for the bilateral unequal trade, there wasn’t much room for compromise. Kindness was kindness, and politics was politics. Besides, this kindness was a result of Gu Jiao"s personal actions which had nothing to do with the court.
Yu Qinw.a.n.g was an excellent politician. He would never be impulsive even when his head was hot with anger. The colored gla.s.s technology had been his biggest concession, which was also an ‘act first, report later’ decision on his part. When he went back, he would surely be scolded by the Emperor.
To be honest, the State of Zhao’s Emperor was quite surprised by this result. It was beyond doubt that the State of Liang came here to cut their fat. Back then, they had to give up three large and small mines of the State of Zhao in exchange for their water wheel bellows technology. In comparison, the other party was quite merciful this year.
Among the six countries, the State of Yan, Liang and Jin were the upper countries, while the State of Zhao, Chen and Qing were the lower countries. In fact, there was also the Turkic people, but none of the six countries recognized it as a country.
The State of Chen had established a good relationship with the State of Jin in recent years, and its relationship with other countries was also not too bad. The State of Zhao couldn’t break up its relationship with the State of Liang, otherwise they would become isolated.
At the end of the first half of the fourth month, the State of Liang envoy"s trip to the capital also ended.
The Emperor personally sent the State of Liang’s envoys out of the imperial’s audience hall, and then the Crown Prince and Marquis Xuanping escorted them out of the capital.
Before leaving, Ming"er went to the medical hall.
The st.i.tches on his wound had been removed and although he still wasn’t able to jump around, he was recovering quickly enough to walk around.
He came to say goodbye to his little brother.Raz P."s Thoughts
