There was another burst of chaos. Although Emperor Taikang's life was saved, he was still unconscious. Hearing what the imperial doctor said, that tone may not come up at any time, so you have to prepare early.
Of course, the imperial physician spoke very tactfully, and he was also afraid that his wealth and life would be lost.
The prince had been mentally prepared for this, and while ordering the imperial physician to make a diagnosis and treatment, he ordered all the memorials to be brought here. From now on, he will live in his father's palace, and he will guard his father himself.
"You said there is a lady who wants to see me?" Yu Zhi couldn't believe her ears. She hadn't seen any guests since she fell ill, and it was Huahua and He Xiaodie who took care of it. After Wen Xizhou announced to close the door to thank guests, everyone in the capital was also very understanding, and no one came to disturb her anymore.
It's strange that someone wants to see her now.
He Xiaodie said: "Yes, she claims to be Jiang Ningbo's daughter. Seeing that you have important matters, she has been here for three consecutive days."
Jiang Ningbo's daughter? She doesn't know her, so what's important to find her? Yu Zhi became even more curious.
"I've come here three times in a row, and it's because you have perseverance, so please come in and see me."
"Madam, it's better not to!" Tangerine disagreed, "Don't worry about it, it's better for the servant to invite the eldest lady back."
Yu Zhi smiled lightly, "No, since you came here to find me, it's useless for Huahua to come back. Go and invite me in."
After a while, the servant girl led a woman in. This person was in her early thirties, with fair skin and good looks. She had a gentle temperament and was not aggressive.
After entering the room, she felt a little different, "Mrs. Xiaowen?"
Yu Zhi behind the screen coughed lightly, "I've been sick for a long time, and I don't look good. I'm afraid I'll scare you, and I'm afraid I'll get sick. I hope you forgive me." After a pause, "You want to see me? Oh, yes, What's your name, madam?"
Jiang Ningbo's surname is Liang. It is obvious that this woman is married. Miss Liang is definitely inappropriate. Let's call her Madam. I don't know what her husband's family name is.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Liang Xiuyu's face, "I...I am the second daughter of Uncle Jiang Ning, her husband's family name is Zhao, but I returned home the year before last, so Mrs. Xiaowen should call me Xiuyu by my maiden name."
When she said this, she felt a sense of shame, but when she thought of the purpose of her trip, she soon regained her composure.
Yu Zhi was startled for a moment, and then realized that returning home is Heli, the daughter of Uncle Jiang Ning, Heli has returned to her natal home. It doesn't matter if you call her by name, Yu Zhi can't call her sister or sister even with someone she doesn't know well.
"Oh, oh, Liang...Xiuyu, I heard that you have come to our house for three consecutive days to see me, what's the matter?" Seeing someone, Yu Zhi became even more curious.
Liang Xiuyu was silent, feeling a little timid in her heart.
Although Mrs. Xiaowen's appearance at this moment cannot be seen through the screen, but hearing her voice, she seems to be weak, and she deliberately uses the screen to block it. She must be seriously ill and embarrassed to see people.
I heard that Mrs. Xiaowen is a stunning beauty, and now...she couldn't help showing a bit of sympathy on her face, but then she thought about the overt and secret dislike of her sister-in-law this year, so she had no choice but to suppress her sympathy, cleared her throat, and said: "Mrs. Xiaowen, I have a heartfelt request for my visit this time..."
Silence, deathly silence in the room.
Yu Zhi thought he was hallucinating, "You mean to recommend yourself to me. After I go, you want to be Wen Jiuxiao's successor?" God, is that what she meant? I haven't heard of it?
Liang Xiuyu nodded, "That's true."
Yu Zhi...
This world is so crazy, the mice are all cats as bridesmaids... She is still alive and well, but a woman came to her door to discuss with her to take her place... Is she too little knowledge?
"No, what do you think? Am I still alive?" Yu Zhi really wanted to know.
This Liang Xiuyu, with a gentle and gentle appearance, is not the kind of acrimonious person. Why is there something wrong with her mind?
Liang Xiuyu lowered her head, her face became hot, she was very embarrassed. She also needs face, and she also feels humiliated when being questioned like this!
But as long as there is still a way to go, she doesn't want to go this way. Isn't she helpless?
For a moment, Liang Xiuyu felt grief from her heart, tears streaming down her face.
Liang Xiuyu wept, Yu Zhi was speechless. Sister, what do you mean? It seems that others are bullying me, and I haven't been wronged yet.
"Orange, serve Miss Liang...to tidy up."
"No, no, I, I, I'm sorry..." Liang Xiuyu shook her head and waved her hands again, panicked and at a loss, wiped her tears with a handkerchief in a panic, "I, I'm fine."
I'm so angry, I don't have a good impression of her at all.
"Miss Liang, tell me, what do you think?"
Xu heard that Yu Zhi's tone was not good, Liang Xiuyu raised her head suddenly, her eyes were red, "Mrs. Xiaowen, I have no other intentions, in fact, I also have good intentions, I, I really have no bad intentions, I... I can't have children..." As if she had made up her mind so much, her eyes turned redder.
"And then?" Yu Zhi remained unmoved.
"Mrs. Xiaowen, I know that you and Shangshu Xiaowen are deeply in love with each other. I don't want to argue with you. I just need a place to stay. I can't have children, and I will treat the young lady in the house as my own." Yes, I will take good care of them for you and teach them to become talents..."
Although Liang Xiuyu's words were incoherent, Yu Zhi understood the meaning.
This Liang Xiuyu is gossip about divorced women in modern times because of her infertility and divorce, let alone ancient times? Liang Xiuyu's life in her natal family was difficult, so she wanted to find a way out for herself.
She felt that she was about to die, and mothers were usually the most worried about their children. Liang Xiuyu summed it up, Xiaowen Shangshu's wife was about to die, and this was a good opportunity for her. After all, she was barren and did not pose any threat to the child ahead of her, so she gritted her teeth and came to the door to recommend herself to her original partner...
But why does Yu Zhi have to accept it? Let's not talk about anything else, as long as she said what she meant, it seems that she has helped her a lot, and she has to be grateful... She is not dead yet!
I really have a brain disease, a serious illness!
So people have to work hard, and if they live for a long time, they can meet all kinds of people.
"Thank you, Ms. Liang, for your kind words, but I don't need it. He Xiaodie, see off the guests." Yu Zhi didn't want to say a word to her.
"Xiao Wenfu...wait a minute...I..." Liang Xiuyu didn't want to leave yet, but she was no better than He Xiaodie, and dragged her out with one hand. She called the two women, "Send it out."
Seeing Liang Xiuyu being carried out of the Chuihua Gate, she clapped her hands and came back by herself.
"Madam is not angry, she has a sick mind."
Yu Zhi, who was a little angry at first, chuckled, that's right, why is she angry with a mentally ill person? There is no one to replace me when I get sick.
"He Xiaodie, find someone to find out what's going on with this Liang Xiuyu." Yu Zhi just finished speaking, but immediately regretted, "Forget it, don't look into it, it's an irrelevant person."
In a wilderness a hundred miles away from the capital, Wen Jiuxiao encountered the thirteenth interception.
Since the day of his return, the assassination against him has followed. Poisoning, lighting a fire, laying an ambush... all kinds of methods emerged one after another, and they encountered five times in the Jiangnan boundary alone.
The return journey was extremely difficult, and traitors appeared in the accompanying army. If Wen Jiuxiao hadn't reacted quickly, the poisonous dagger would have pierced his heart instead of his arm.
Not only to guard against assassins, but also against traitors. Even with the army protecting him, Wen Jiuxiao didn't dare to let them get close.
The group of assassins he encountered five days ago was obviously different from the previous ones. They were highly skilled in martial arts and fearless of death... He was no stranger to their skills and aura, and there were hidden guards by his side.
It was also fortunate that Wen Jiuxiao had a high level of force and did not hold back. He escaped under the desperate protection of the guards and got separated from the others. After that, they disguised themselves and walked across the mountains and trails, and they stopped for a few days.
I didn’t expect to come to Beijing soon and meet assassins again. After so many assassinations, it’s definitely not just one or two people who did it. There are some in the court, some in the south of the Yangtze River, and even... how many people are looking forward to his death!
Also, the disaster relief in the south of the Yangtze River is over, and he is the first to return to the capital. If he rises further, he should be in the cabinet. They don't want him to return to the capital alive to receive the reward!
Also, he is too young, who would like to be crushed on top of his head by a junior.
So the best way is to get rid of him.
Wang Bazizi, Wen Jiuxiao sneered, his face full of sarcasm. Let me wait, and when I return to Beijing, no one will think about it.
Yu Zhi in her sleep opened her eyes suddenly, she pressed her throbbing heart, and panted heavily. Suddenly her expression changed, "He Xiaodie, where is Zhou Zhou?"
"Mother, what's the matter?" Wen Xizhou, who walked to the veranda, hastened his pace, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" There was anxiety in his eyes.
Yu Zhi waved his hand, "I'm fine. I had a nightmare, dreaming that something happened to your father. Zhou Zhou, mother, don't worry, you take your little friend to meet your father."
As soon as Wen Xizhou heard this, he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. When he was in Shanyun County, Wen Xizhou had his own team, and they were all teenagers around his age. They practiced martial arts together and asked their master to teach them. They have various skills.
After returning to Beijing, some of these people walked outside, and the rest entered Wen Xizhou's courtyard. Don't look at him as if there is only one outstanding student, in fact, even a young servant who sweeps the floor is no worse than the guards in the mansion.
"Mother, my son will go now." Wen Xizhou had a kind of blind trust in his mother.
