Autumn arrived quickly. When the season gradually fell cold, Jian Mei’s school held a sports meet. Kik5JE

In the past, Jian Mei’s parents would definitely not come due to work. But this time, because of the previous incident, Shen Meina and Jian Shencheng suddenly realized that work wasn’t as important as accompanying their children. So, on the day of the sports event, just as Jian Mei thought that his parents wouldn’t come and asked casually, his parents’ answers were surprisingly similar.

“I asked my assistant to push off a few events, I’ll definitely attend that day.”

“I took a leave from the hospital, I’m not very busy during this time anyway.”

Jian Mei said hesitantly, “Would it cause trouble?” 1xB7DL

He received a surprisingly unified answer from his parents. “No trouble at all!”

Jian Mei looked at his parents’ determined faces and laughed softly. He thought about it and said as if he was giving his parents a precaution. “It might be tiring because the school sports will last for a week. If you want to go, it should only be two or three days and there will be a relay race or something on the last two or three days, which you need to participate in.”

Jian Shencheng said, “You’re looking down on me. I’m good at sports.”

Shen Meina gave Jian Mei a dish and said somewhat proudly, “Last year, I also shot a sports movie. I spent half a year on professional training, so you can rest assured. I absolutely won’t shame you!”

Jian Mei seconded. “Yes, yes, yes. Mom and Dad are the best.”

Although the two adults themselves had no problems, Shen Meina was still worried about her child’s health problems. She said, “It’s better for you not to participate in intense competition. It’s not good for your body, you won’t be able to bear it.”

Jian Mei said, “Oh, I won’t. The teacher didn’t register me for the race, I only need to participate in a relay race.”

At this time, Jian Shencheng comforted her, “Relay race is short, so it’s okay. Mild exercise is good for our child, you don’t have to control it strictly.” BRMhpI

Shen Meina glared at her husband.

Jian Mei puffed up his chest and replied loudly, “I’ll play the fifth dwarf among the seven dwarfs.”

The dining table fell silent.

After a while, Shen Meina gave her child another piece of meat and said softly, “Let’s eat first.” q4kDU7

Stan Star.

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

During autumn at Stan Star, the national tree, cherry blossom trees were in full bloom. The leaves of the cherry blossom trees fluttered with the wind, covering the streets in pink. The seeds of the cherry blossom tree were rich in divine power and had a nourishing effect, so even if it fluttered around the world, it was hailed as a symbol of sanctity and beauty.

Lu Xingwang came out of the palace and hurriedly rode the pegasus. He finally arrived at the northern golden town before sunset. This time, under the pretext of coming over to the Northern military garrison, he came as an aide-de-camp of the young general. Their purpose was clear— to go to the northmost sea where the Lan family resided. P0xWUb

Zuo Qingshan said, “Not sure if your grandfather still recognizes you.”

Lu Xingwang replied with a blank face. “It doesn’t matter whether he recognizes me or not.”

Zuo Qingshan sighed. “Tsk…”

In a sense, the Lan family had always been quite ruthless. d1xtVT

The border town was certainly not as prosperous as the central city, but it had a lot of local characteristics. Green leaves surrounded the tall wooden buildings, and most pedestrians coming and going were wearing golden-colored clothes. Golden orchids grew here and were commonly used for making medicine by priests. In Stan Star, healing priests were in a high position. Most commoners who wanted to visit a doctor had to spend a high price to do so. The golden orchids had very useful medicinal effects and naturally, the price was very high, so this town was rich.

Zuo Qingshan was beside Lu Xingwang, looking at a stall not far away, where a herbs vendor was quarreling with a merchant.

The vendor said, “Look at these golden orchids we picked at home, they’re well preserved and have the best quality. You’ll never suffer any loss if you buy them.”

The herb merchant weighed it a few times as if he was considering something. At last, the merchant said, “This one is already a bit old when it was picked, it’s not very refinable. I’ll pay five gold coins at most.” 2t8ein

“Only five!” The vendor cried. “Please be kind. You know how difficult it is to pick golden orchids, my husband broke his leg and almost died from picking them. Five, five gold coins?”

The herb merchant didn’t believe this and said, “I’m a businessman. Your golden orchid isn’t really that worthy. Five coins is already too much. If you don’t want to trade it, I’ll go back…”

The vendor was really afraid that the deal wouldn’t succeed. After all, her family was still waiting for the money to pay for medical bills, so she hurriedly said, “Okay, then five coins it is.”

The deal was successful and the herbs were taken away, leaving a sad-faced vendor behind. XYE45

Zuo Qingshan withdrew his gaze and said, “At current times, a golden orchid is sometimes more expensive than human life, but this thing is just a pastime for healing priests to practice daily. Five gold coins, which is half a month’s salary for some generals. Tell me, what’s wrong with this world? Those priests are that rich?”

Lu Xingwang said, “A divine power with the healing element is too scarce. There’s no way around it.”

Zuo Qingshan muttered. “Those divine officials rely on their healing divine powers. Each one of them was pompous and arrogant. They really think they are gods.”

What was very infuriating was that, due to some problems with water and soil, the people of Stan Star were born with symptoms of resistance to high-tech Western medicines from other planets. They could only rely on native healing power to solve most of the physical problems, which also led to a person born with healing divine power from a commoner’s family having a higher social status than some of the great nobles. wIbpn7

Lu Xingwang entered the inn’s compartment and looked back at him. “You seem to have a strong opinion of these priests.”

“Why don’t they eat meat? ” Zuo Qingshan was originally a straightforward person. He said, “Your Highness doesn’t leave the imperial city, so how would you know the hardships of the common people? How difficult is it for a commoner to get medical treatment? A minor illness is fine, they can grit their teeth and raise the money, but if it’s a serious illness like a terminal illness, it can cost a whole family’s savings and still not be cured. What’s more, some priests are so fastidious but incompetent that they oppress commoners who don’t have a noble class!” 4 GBXf

The young general who was originally dissatisfied unconsciously shut his mouth under Lu Xingwang’s calm gaze.

When the door of the private room was closed, silence remained in the room. The boy clad in black robes stood by the window as he looked at the people below for a while and said, “You seem to know a lot about these, Young General.”

Zuo Qingshan wondered if he didn’t understand it. “Unless a living god suddenly appears out of nowhere and develops a new type of cure, then this aberrant social phenomenon will only exacerbate. Do you understand, Your Highness?”

Lu Xingwang was calm from the start. He said nonchalantly, “What’s the use of understanding or not understanding? You’re very clear about the sufferings in the world. Did compassion and pity ever change anything?” QY0opg

Zuo Qingshan was speechless; he couldn’t retort back.

Lu Xingwang’s lips curled up into a slightly sarcastic smile. “The matter of medical problems has existed for a long time. Even you, a young military general, have heard about it. How could all types of local officials, the ministers of the dynasty who have been around for a long time not know about it?”

His Majesty was a wise monarch who wanted the common people to live peaceful and happy lives. If he really wanted to deal with this matter, how could he not have done it? The people had been suffering from medical problems for a long time, how could the emperor not know about such things?”

“You can look at the annual tax revenue and see where the high-income sources are.” Lu Xingwang said slowly, “In the counties and towns. Every year, the amount of medical taxes paid by the priests from various places alone accounted for 20% of Stan Star’s financial income. It’s these taxes that allow the people to enjoy better government benefits and let military soldiers get more comfort and protection. Once they intervene, once the layers are drawn out, whose loss is it exactly? What can be done about it?” jn0gCJ

As a prince who had often reviewed imperial memos, no one would understand the people’s situation better than Lu Xingwang.

Zuo Qingshan clenched his fist with some reluctance. “Alright.”

“But…” Zuo Qingshan didn’t know why, but he still looked up and said, “Does Your Highness also approve of such a social phenomenon? Does Your Highness…”

Lu Xingwang’s voice sounded clear in the room. “What’s the point of you and me approving or not?” H9oqzS

“Anyone standing on the moral high ground can criticize anyone. I can sympathize with the young general’s indignation, but let alone the fact I’m only a prince now, even if the crown prince was the one standing here, he’d most likely stand on the sidelines and watch.”

Zuo Qingshan froze in place. He opened his mouth, but he couldn’t say anything in rebuttal.

Lu Xingwang turned around and stopped looking at the pedestrians outside the window. The sunset fell on his body, giving him a light layer of golden light. The young boy who was always silent and taciturn was now looking at the young and immature general with a bottomless gaze. He said, “One day, when you and I both have enough strength, only then will our mercy be effective.”

This phrase was like a heavy stone that fell into Zuo Qingshan’s heart. kGaovd

For a moment, it was as if he saw great ambition in Lu Xingwang’s eyes and was also amazed by this person’s extraordinary intelligence.

In the past, he’d never felt that anyone was born to be an emperor, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that if this world needed a ruler, who else should it be if not Lu Xingwang?
