Chapter 407 Adoptive Father
These words sounded harsh, but they were actually an excuse for Jiang Longshou. If the mistakes he made were not exposed, then let Jiang Zhixian, his adoptive father, punish him.
Turn business into family affairs.
How could his adoptive father punish him? At most he could give him a beating, which wouldn't hurt his muscles or bones.
Perhaps it was an unintentional result, but the maternal love and sufficient paternal love that Jiang Longshou did not receive when his identity was replaced and he became a prince, he received from Jiang Zhixian who acted like both a father and a mother to him.
The emperor is kind to all his children, but he can also be partial to one of them.
In the original novel, the original male protagonist was more favored by the emperor.
The emperor had not made up his mind to appoint a crown prince. Jiang Long was the eldest son, and in order to maintain a check and balance, the emperor pretended to favor the second son.
If you can't feel the father's love, it's as if it doesn't exist.
The second male villain in the original novel is a poor little guy who is not loved by his father and mother.
This time, it was she herself who was favored by the emperor. He always liked the child with strong abilities, just like the wolf king liked strong children the most.
Jiang Zhixian got a cheap adopted son for free, and he really cared about it. Usually, others would give gifts and bribes to him, the chief eunuch in front of the emperor. Only Bei Jingchu succeeded in getting a counter-bribe from the chief eunuch in front of the emperor.
All the requests were for him to take care of his children.
Bei Jingchu accepted it with the look of a corrupt official, and his heart was almost bubbling.
It's so funny. The one who is least worrying is that guy, okay?
It can be helpful and can also warm the bed...well, the bed warming function has not been developed yet.
He knows his limits and won't act rashly, and he also understands the signals.
If it weren't for his past as a scumbag, he would be perfect.
The villain in Bei Jingchu's heart gave a thumbs up, but he still looked embarrassed.
Looking at Jiang Zhixian's appearance, Bei Jingchu could only sigh, wondering who had given birth to and raised the child more, but the affection fostered by this father-in-law in raising the child was truly deep.
She returned to her bedroom in the imperial palace, ready to think about the rules for replacing the secret guards. Before she could put pen to paper, Haoyue smiled and said, "Your Highness, Changyan has arrived in the capital."
Oh, by the way, the craftsmen in the underground palace also moved to the new capital step by step.
I didn't expect it to arrive today.
Although the imperial court settled the craftsmen's families and tried their best to make their lives in the underground palace more comfortable, in order to keep the secret of Dai Viet, they could not leave the underground palace in this lifetime.
The only chance he had to get out was when he was blindfolded and on the way to the new capital.
Only Changyan can travel between the underground palace and the imperial palace. He is also protected and guarded. Apart from this road, he cannot go anywhere else.
Changyan first came to Bei Jingchu to pay her respects. The girl, who had been cooped up in the underground palace for many years, had pale skin. She leaned forward with a smile and said, "I wish Your Highness the Crown Prince a long life."
The craftsmen, including Changyan, were given official positions based on their merits, but they had no real power and specialized in weapons.
Changyan had also long ago stopped calling herself a slave.
As usual, she reported on the recent situation: "According to His Highness, we have created a new weapon that does not require aiming to ignite."
"Connect the match to the trigger, which is a mechanism. Just pull the trigger and the gunpowder in the gun will explode."
Bei Jingchu couldn't stop smiling, even though the main force now still relied on artillery, this kind of homemade gun was not as powerful as arrows and crossbows.
But it was not certain that things would continue to develop. She had always been encouraging and gently advised: "Okay, okay, you should also take a rest and remember to reward the heroes."
The corner of Changyan's mouth twitched.
"Your Highness, it's not that I don't want to rest, but if I can make something, I can get a lot of gold and silver."
"A craftsman may not see this much money in his whole life. He works very hard to make his family live a good life."
"I have tried my best to persuade them to rest."
After telling the good news, Changyan restrained his smile.
"On the way to the new capital, two craftsmen died, perhaps due to fatigue from the long journey or because of the unfamiliar climate."
Bei Jingchu also stopped smiling and asked, "How did you arrange it?"
Chang Yan said awkwardly: "This is also the first time a craftsman has passed away since the underground palace was opened."
"I didn't have time to ask for permission on the way, and the Minister of Works was also in Xindu. I made the decision on my own and bought two coffins. After a brief memorial ceremony, I sent someone to take their bodies back to their hometown."
Bei Jingchu became uneasy.
"Are you sure he's dead?"
Haoyue seemed frightened by her reaction, and recalled: "It was inconvenient on the road. I checked her breath, and the doctor said she had no pulse."
"As for the rest, they didn't let the coroner perform the autopsy, after all, it's disrespectful to the deceased..."
Before he could finish, Bei Jingchu suddenly called out, "Haoyue!"
"Send a message to Commander Jiang, and have him take the coroner and chase after him. Make sure the body is dead and burn it personally before returning!"
"Changyan, write down where those two people's hometowns are."
Changyan was shaking with fear, "Your Highness, what happened? Did I get into trouble?"
Bei Jingchu realized that she had overreacted and tried to calm down.
Only when she is calm can others be calm.
She had someone pass a pen and paper to Changyan, and without giving her a chance to think, she ordered, "Write first."
After Changyan finished writing and sealed the letter, Haoyue personally put it in his arms and walked it out quickly, not daring to stop for a moment.
He only glanced at Changyan with concern as he passed by.
Bei Jingchu comforted her: "I just read a book and found out that there is a disease called pseudo-death. As long as the body is intact, it is like a turtle breathing."
"If there is a chance, I can wake up again."
Before Changyan fainted, she added, "It's okay. This disease is rare. I'm just worried that if I run into it, these two might leak the secret."
"You don't have to panic. If you don't plan it intentionally, there won't be so many accidents."
