"Brother Wei, I don't know how long it will take to go to Shengjing this time. I plan to take my eldest brother with me and my little sister."
Zheng Quchi looked at Wei Yao and told his plan calmly and truthfully: "My little sister has been having inexplicable headaches these days. I want to find a famous doctor to diagnose the condition for her. In addition, my elder brother's leg, if there is any I hope he can be cured, and I will treat him even if I try to sell everything."
If Sang Yaomei was really poisoned by the chronic poison given by the Mo family, I'm afraid it would be impossible to cure her in a small place like Fu County.
After talking to Princess Sheng'an that day, she privately asked Dr. Liao to go to Hegou Village to see Yaomei. But when he came back, he said that he had seen Sang Yaomei, but he didn't see anything interesting.
His medical skills are limited, so he can only ask her to see a more skilled doctor.
At that time, she had the idea to visit a more prosperous place. Since she had to go to Shengjing now, she could kill two birds with one stone.
Wei Yao also knew the situation at his wife's home. He said: "My subordinates will make good arrangements for my wife. Brother Sang doubted my wife's identity on the way. As for seeing a doctor, Liu Fengmian is in the capital. He has always made eclectic friends. What? He knows some of the people, so if Madam is in need, just ask him. He is familiar with the general, so he will definitely not refuse."
"Liu Fengmian...is there really such a person here?" Zheng Quchi asked in surprise.
Wei Yao said: "Yes, he is the only one who is not afraid of the general and is willing to take the initiative to approach the general."
At the mention of Yu Wensheng, Zheng Quchi's heart felt as heavy as a sponge soaked in water. She asked, "It's been so long and there's still no news?"
Wei Yao lowered his eyes: "Madam, if there is any news, Fu Rong will send the message back as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Zheng Quchi glanced at him inexplicably and then ended the topic.
Seeing that she didn't ask, Wei Yao's tense expression became a little brighter, and he remembered another thing at this time.
"Madam, have you seen Mo Jia Xizuo who is imprisoned in the water prison?"
This refers to Qiu, the Mohist masterpiece that has not been attacked, transferred, or disposed of at present, only this person with a special status.
But he was not questioning Zheng Quchi, but he was wondering why Madam suddenly wanted to see him when she had been indifferent before.
The twists and turns here had not yet penetrated into Zheng Quchi's mind, so she did not want to tell him now. She only said: "Yes, I went to ask for news about Gan Xin. It was Qiu who told me about him."
Wei Yao knew that Madam was acting secretly and was preparing to arrest the mad swordsman Gan Xin, but he didn't expect that this Mo family craftsman named Qiu not only did not resent Madam's previous rebellion, but actually helped her.
This autumn, it seems that he is just like that Gongshu Jiruo, who is "eager" for his wife and has "ulterior motives".
He suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis. His wife was so popular, and he had to protect her for the general and prevent these monsters from getting close to her.
"Madam, the Mo family will definitely send people to join Hong Shengguo to participate in the military drills and duels of the Six Nations. The other countries each have their own allies, but we, the Ye Kingdom, are alone and helpless."
He made reasonable and reasonable efforts to stir up dissension at the right time and found every opportunity. His purpose was to let his wife know that the Mo family were their enemies and cry out for his own side, so as to awaken Zheng Quchi's mentality of sharing the same hatred with the enemy.
However, Zheng Quchi was not indignant because of his desire to avenge him. She had a simple thought: "Those who form alliances based on profit will eventually fall apart because of profit."
After hearing this, Wei Yao agreed: "They are all a group of vultures pecking at carrion."
"Okay, let's not talk about them anymore. Let's call Adjutant Wang to go see the eldest prince together later. It's better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. If he holds a grudge against us, it will be a troublesome thing in the future."
"Everything depends on Madam."
——
Dr. Liao has been very busy these two days. He is like a top. He is whipped to this foreign assignment, and then whipped back to treat a person who only has external injuries but has been unconscious.
According to Adjutant Wang, this person is the Grand Prince of the Palace who has been missing for more than ten years.
So he was even more frightened when treating people, for fear that he might not be able to cure the person if he missed it.
However, there were only some minor injuries on the other party's body, neither muscles nor bones, nor any serious internal injuries. However, he was inexplicably unconscious all morning, which puzzled him.
"Logically speaking, it's time to wake up, why are you still unconscious?"
He muttered as he dried the herbs.
Outside the fence of Yaolu, three people were walking towards this side with heavy steps.
On the way, Zheng Quchi, Wei Yao and Wang Zebang were discussing how to undo the damage caused to the eldest prince.
"When people wake up, what do you think should be done?" she asked.
Wei Yao thought for a moment and said, "Admit your mistake directly?"
"Kneel down for him." Wang Zebang said.
Zheng Quchi's mouth twitched.
Were you so fierce last time?
"Why don't we talk about the cold first?" She strongly suggested.
The two of them looked at Zheng Quchi with some hesitation. If he really held a grudge, their "feelings" would directly become "hypocrisy" in his eyes.
Besides, this kind of sincerity in apologizing and admitting mistakes is somewhat insufficient, right?
But Zheng Quchi felt: "As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Let's reason with him first. It's not our fault in this matter. We just acted according to the rules. He acted like an assassin and killed him. He shouldn't be reasonable, right?"
The two looked at each other and nodded: "Yes."
"In France, we don't accept wrongdoing, but after all, he is the prince of the country, with a noble and honorable status. If we hurt him, we still have to be careful and smile, and tell him to be gentle, right? In short, we must be polite before fighting."
They continued to agree: "Yes, salute first..." Wait, soldiers behind? !
Why did you use "soldiers"? Aren't you talking about apologizing to the eldest prince?
Wei Yao and Wang Zebang looked confused.
"Madam, after you decide that the other party should not accept this courtesy, what kind of strategy are you going to use?"
Zheng Quchi waved his hand: "We'll see when the time comes. Anyway, Dr. Liao has a lot of medicine. It's three-part poison. It's understandable if someone accidentally cures someone stupid."
——
The three of them discussed while pushing open the ajar bamboo door. Doctor Liao raised his eyes and saw them. He quickly put down the dry herbs in his hands: "Madam, Adjutant Wang, Officer Wei, why are you here? Yes." Are you here to see the eldest prince?"
"Yes, Doctor Liao, are you awake?"
Zheng Quchi looked inside the house.
Doctor Liao's originally peaceful face suddenly turned gloomy: "Not yet..."
"Who's outside?"
A slightly low and cool voice overshadowed Dr. Liao's words.
Doctor Liao was stunned, turned his head and looked into the room, with a different look on his face.
It's strange, why did the person who was unconscious before wake up now?
But it's good that he wakes up, otherwise he really doesn't know how to explain it to the general's wife and the others. It can't be said that his medical skills are not good and he can't find out what's wrong with the prince at all, right?
"It's us."
Zheng Quchi responded immediately. She gave Wang Zebang and the others a "wait and see" look, and the three of them entered one after the other.
As soon as he entered, Zheng Quchi put on a friendly smile and asked with concern: "Your Highness, are you feeling better? Your wounds have been treated with the best medicine. I hope you don't feel any pain or itching." Heal quickly."
Her voice is crisp and bright, her enunciation is clear, and her speaking speed is deliberately adjusted to a soft tone, so that her words will not be heard in a loud voice.
It has to be said that some people are naturally easy to win the favor of others.
For example, you have a particularly cute face, or a particularly comfortable temperament.
On a wooden frame bed, Yuan Xingzhou was sitting at the head of the bed. His thin and pale face was bloodless. The light and shadow from the window fell on his cheek, which was faint and heavy, just like the one in the old castle. A blood-sucking person who never sees the sun
ghost.
He said nothing, just stared at her quietly.
There was no like or dislike in his eyes, as if she was a random object in the room, existing, but only existing, not in his eyes.
"Do you still recognize me?" Zheng Quchi asked him a strange question.
This made Yuan Xingzhou react: "Why do I recognize you?"
His voice was low and hoarse, like a dry field. Every time he uttered a word, the land became more dry and cracked.
She immediately and cleverly poured him a glass of warm water. She did not put it directly into his hand, but placed it appropriately where he could reach it with his hand.
Yuan Xingzhou glanced at it and remained silent.
Neither accepted nor rejected.
After doing all this, she replied: "We met once in Wujue Temple, but I was dressed as a male craftsman at that time. When your assassination failed, I was the one who saved you at the hands of Yu Wensheng. Got you off."
She admitted that she was deliberately trying to have a relationship.
Zheng Quchi couldn't say he was very accurate in his judgment of people, but he had seen a lot of people. People like Yuan Xingzhou who were invulnerable to coldness and heat, what he feared most was accepting favors from others.
Sure enough, Yuan Xingzhou's expression changed, "Is that you?"
"Yes, that's me." Zheng Quchi nodded.
Yuan Xingzhou glanced at the cup of tea again, moved his fingers slightly, and reached out to pick it up: "...Thank you."
I don't know if this "thank you" was a thank you for the glass of water she handed him when he was thirsty, or for the "stop" he shouted when he was in danger.
This eldest prince is a person who knows how to express gratitude and repay.
Zheng Quchi came to a conclusion. .net
Wang Zebang and Wei Yao stood aside and saw that the lady here was making very good progress towards His Royal Highness. No, it was like riding a thousand horses at once, leaving them far ahead of the starting line.
While they were still racking their brains on how to turn their hostility into friendship with His Highness the Crown Prince, the general's wife on the other end had already received a sincere "thank you" from His Highness the Crown Prince.
No wonder Madam didn’t have to kneel down to admit her mistake, because she could really win over His Royal Highness just by “calling for help”.
"His Royal Highness, I have offended you a lot because I didn't know your identity. Please forgive me."
Wang Zebang and Wei Yao stepped forward, clasping their fists to plead guilty.
They bowed and shouted for a long time, but Yuan Xingzhou remained silent.
He turned a blind eye to the two of them, only looked at Zheng Quchi and asked, "What's your name?"
Zheng Quchi turned his eyes and glanced at Wang Zebang and Wei Yao who were standing aside. They were saluting but could not get up and could only stand in an awkward stalemate.
She turned her head and stood up for them both very loyally: "Your Highness, Adjutant Wang and Officer Wei are talking to you."
Xing Yuanzhou said: "I don't want to talk to them."
"……"In no mood? This reason was so convincing that she didn't know how to refute it.
She turned her head and looked at the two stupid-looking people, speaking with her eyes. What's the use of standing there and admitting her mistake, talking and showing love.
The two woke up.
Learn the caring way Madam just showed.
"Your Highness, are you thirsty?"
"Not thirsty."
"Your Highness, are you hungry?"
"..."
The person simply closed his eyes and simply ignored them.
Wang Zebang and Wei Yao returned home in vain.
They understood that Madam's style of conduct was not suitable for them at all.
They can't learn it and they can't do it.
The two of them gritted their teeth, lifted their robes and knelt down, shouldering all the blame for their crimes: "Your Highness, please forgive us. If Your Highness feels that we have been wronged before, you can punish us for our negligence. We will have no complaints."
But even if both of them talked to this point, Xing Yuanzhou still turned a deaf ear to them. He opened his eyes lazily, and saw a pair of eyes that were mostly black and pale, like an evil spirit.
"Pa!" Zheng Quchi slapped his palm on the table.
Everyone was shocked and looked at her in unison.
She took a deep breath: "I accidentally touched it, you continue."
Seeing that she was angry, His Royal Highness was stunned for a moment, then turned to them and said, "You go out, I won't argue with you."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Zheng Quchi: "Then let's leave first so as not to disturb His Highness the Crown Prince's rest."
"Wait a moment."
She looked back.
"I want to talk to you, can you stay?"
"That won't work." Zheng Quchi refused righteously: "I am a married woman, how can I stay in the same room with my husband and a widower?"
"Isn't Yu Wensheng dead? There is no problem if you remarry."
Zheng Quchi: "...I will keep him safe."
"It seems that the widows of Ye State did not keep their moral integrity." The eldest prince Yuan Xingzhou said.
"I'm willing to keep it."
"You can't keep it."
"Who said that? I am very determined."
Yuan Xingzhou smiled: "You are really determined."
"Your Highness, why did you become an assassin?"
"Because I want revenge."
"Revenge? The target of your revenge is Yu Wensheng?"
"no."
"Then why did you kill him?"
"Without him, the country of Ye will naturally be unable to defend itself. The revenge I want is to destroy the country."
Zheng Quchi: "..." I can't tell that you have such an upright face, but you have such a vicious heart.
No matter what hatred or grudges you have, you want to use a country to fulfill your desire for revenge.
"I can't control the matter between King Ye and me, and I don't want to, but the Kingdom of Ye will not be destroyed easily." She said with serious eyes.
"I thought you only wanted to guard Yu Wensheng's tomb, but unexpectedly, you also wanted to guard the Ye Kingdom that he was guarding?"
"Shou."
"Even if I can't hold it?"
"Who said that? If you don't give it a try, who knows the result."
"You are really kind. Why don't you become my concubine?"
"Sorry, if you want me to remarry, unless you ask me to be Queen Ye, I will stay here for a while."
After she finished speaking, she saw that Yuan Xingzhou seemed to be thinking about it: "...it's not impossible."
