Volume 1 Chapter 112: Obtaining Imperial Favor
"It's a blessing for me, a guilty woman, to receive the emperor's favor and promotion." The greatest power under heaven is the emperor's reward and promotion, who wouldn't want it?
Han Caiwei handed the tea cup back to Li Qingxuan and stood aside with her hands hanging down.
"I will issue a decree tomorrow, making your son the heir of the Third Prince's Manor, and he will not be adopted under Zhao Xi's name. In this way, I can also rest assured that the child is satisfactory to me, and as the companion reader of the Crown Prince, he is not bad either. If the Crown Prince ascends to the throne in the future, he will also be a good helper. However, you," Li Qingxuan looked at Han Caixi with narrowed eyes, "I should have issued a decree to make you a concubine, but these days your affairs have been making waves in the capital, and although those things are rumors, they can't be said to be entirely false either. There must be some truth to them, so I still cannot issue this decree."
It wasn't until now that Han Caiwei's wish was finally fulfilled, and the young man was made crown prince, without having to be adopted by Ji Zhaohui, which also settled one of her concerns. Moreover, as for whether she was a concubine or not, she didn't care at all, but when Li Qingxuan mentioned those rumors, she had no choice but to explain, otherwise her life would probably be in danger again. And if the emperor believed those rumors, it's likely that the Han and Shen families would also be threatened.
"Your Majesty, those things actually—"
"You don't need to explain this to me, it's between you and Lao San. I'm too lazy to ask about it anyway. It's just that some old people in the palace like to nag in front of me, but I don't care about your family matters! I just hope you understand your own identity and don't do anything to shame the imperial family. After all, your son is now the third prince, and how many eyes are watching you in this capital city!"
Li Qingxuan interrupted Han Caiwei's words, he didn't need to listen to those excuses, the most eloquent language can never compare to silent actions, he was an emperor, he understood this deeply.
Han Caiwei pursed her lips: "Yes, I understand."
Li Qingxuan heard this and a hint of smile appeared in his sharp eyes: "I kept you behind, not to talk about this, but I asked the imperial physician last night, and also had him examine the surgery you performed on Wang Shi. The imperial physician said it was an unheard-of technique, yet extremely successful. So, I wanted to ask you, who did you learn from? Where did you acquire such skills? Aren't you a daughter of the Han family? The Han family is in commerce, not medicine?"
Han Caiwei was extremely embarrassed. Anyone else she could bluff her way past, but the Emperor? Absolutely not! But could she tell the truth? That was completely impossible! If she spoke out, the Emperor would definitely have her executed on the spot for being a monster, and then she would really be fed up with living!
Two evils choose the lesser, so she decided to deceive the emperor instead. She spoke with a serious tone: "Your Majesty, you know that some extraordinary people who have transcended the world don't like others to know their names or whereabouts after they've achieved enlightenment. Please forgive me for not revealing it. Just consider this as my master's quirk!"
Han Caiwei was really helpless and had no choice but to fabricate a hermit who taught her these things, it can be seen that it's not easy for a time-traveler to live in ancient times!
"Ah, I see. Those so-called hermits are indeed quite eccentric, but with you around, there's no need to find them," Han Caiwei felt relieved after hearing this, it seemed that the Emperor had believed her words. Then she heard Li Qingxuan continue, "I have a task for you to complete. If you do well, I will grant your mother a title, and in the future, becoming the concubine of the Third Prince is also within reach. As long as you don't stir up any more trouble and complete this task."
Can she say no? Han Caiwei rolled her eyes in her heart, listening to what sounded like a consultative tone, but was actually just an imperial decree.
"I will definitely try my best."
Li Qingxuan narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "You must do your best, I want you to definitely do a good job!"
"Yes. This humble servant obeys." She couldn't help but want to curse, the two words "this humble servant" were really annoying, but she didn't say that, and besides, she didn't know how to refer to herself either. This emperor was good in every way, but his thoughts were just impossible to fathom, couldn't he just tell her how to address herself? How annoying! And he still wanted this so-called weak-witted woman to do something before he would grant her mother a title, what's the point of that? Madam Han was living a good life anyway.
Han Caiwei was torn, but had forgotten that who doesn't love fame and wealth? Moreover, it's the current emperor's personal decree, if she gets the title, the Han family's status will instantly rise significantly, no longer being looked down upon as a merchant family by others.
Some people will no longer have any reason to use the word "status" to insult Xiao Meilian or slander Sanwangfu, and because it is a imperial decree, no one dares to say anything else, those rumors will also disappear.
Li Qingxuan has a longer vision and thinks more deeply than her, unfortunately Han Caiwei hasn't thought of it yet.
Li Qingxuan saw that she had responded, and said: "What I am going to say next, you cannot tell anyone, not even Lao San, because once it is discovered, I will not be able to protect you, and you will also lose your life."
Han Caiwei listened and her heart was burning with anger, but she didn't dare to erupt, so she could only use silence to silently resist.
Li Qingxuan glanced at her and smiled slightly, saying: "Throughout the ages, there have been rules, women cannot participate in politics or govern, but your skills would be wasted if not used. The Northern Liang has invaded our borders, I need to deploy troops to the border, and I just suddenly thought of it, during close combat, using your technique, all joints that can move should be able to be dislocated, right? So, I want to ask you to teach my generals this skill within a month, and also pass on some of your medical skills to the military doctors, so that when the time comes, casualties won't be so severe. Your surgical techniques should work for other organs too, shouldn't they? You have to teach them! - Of course, when you appear in front of them, dress as a man!"
Han Caiwei couldn't have imagined that Li Qingxuan would think of this, and for a moment she was stunned, only to regain her composure after a while. She secretly admired him in her heart, thinking that he had come up with an idea that could be applied to tactics in such a short time. The emperor's thoughts were indeed unpredictable. Disassembling the joints wasn't difficult, nor was it hard to teach military doctors. As for wearing men's clothes to enter and exit the military camp, that was what she had always dreamed of! She seemed to see many handsome men waving at her!
But there is one thing that's very difficult.
"Your Majesty, this matter, I'm afraid I won't be able to deceive the Third Prince." She had a clear understanding of her own limitations, and she knew that this matter would absolutely not be hidden from that despicable man.
