Yu Zhi thought that the negotiations with the mission would end before the year, so he planned to come back to visit Li Wantong in his spare time. He never imagined that he would be chased by armor-piercing level 6 archers, let alone that Li Wantong and others would move their residence.

Speaking of which, Yu Zhi was quite grateful to those archers. If it weren't for them, when Yu Zhi arrived at the bamboo house, he would only find that the building was empty.

Fate in the world is so wonderful. It happened that Yu Zhi was being chased, and Lao Huang went to fetch water from the river not far away. It happened that the two met again.

Yu Zhi looked at Li Wantong in trance. He told everything in detail, and he really seemed to know everything he knew. This is the object of Yu Zhi's heart. When Yu Zhi talked about his marriage to Li Mansion, he was very angry, but Li Wantong was surprised at first, then suppressed the different emotions in his heart and pretended to be calm.

"Since you don't like the lady from the prime minister's house, just don't accept this marriage. Why are you so angry?" Li Wantong said.

When Yu Zhi mentioned this incident, he felt that it would be unkind not to avenge him. "This old guy Li Xiuyuan robbed me of my jade pendant." Yu Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "This is what my parents left behind. After the marriage was canceled and beaten, the things my parents left to their daughter-in-law must be Take back."

Li Wantong retorted: "Master... Prime Minister Li may have ulterior motives? Anyway, he will never take your things."

Listening to Li Wantong's slightly excited tone, Yu didn't know what to do and was at a loss. He quickly recalled the brief conversation just now, and still didn't know what annoyed Li Wantong.

"Of course I think so. I hope the prime minister is just joking with me and can return the jade pendant to me later." Yu Zhi did not argue. After many years of battle of wits and courage with Li Qingru, Yu Zhi knew that he could not argue with a woman. No matter how old the woman was, fighting back would be a dead end.

As Yu Zhi expected, Li Wantong looked more relaxed. The sudden silence between the two of them caused the entire room to fall silent.

"The day before yesterday, I took your pulse and found that your body is a little different from ordinary people. Body heat and blood surge are not the signs of ordinary people. It seems that someone has been conditioning you and suppressing these symptoms." Li Wantong said.

Yu Zhi also knew about his physical condition, but he gradually became discouraged because he had not found a solution for many years. He has been taking various herbal medicines since he was a child. As long as there was some hope, Li Qingru would let Yu Zhi give it a try.

"You should take some powerful tonics from time to time. For example, Ganoderma lucidum and wild ginseng. If the body is hot and internally deficient, powerful tonics can forcefully replenish qi and blood, but they are not the root of the cure."

Yu Zhi looked at the books behind Li Wantong and had some thoughts in his mind. "Are you trying to heal your legs?"

Li Wantong was suddenly stunned. He clenched his hands tightly and his fingertips turned white. Every time he mentioned this matter, Li Wantong would always become even more silent and say nothing.

She was born with leg problems and has been unable to walk since she was a child. This is a disease carried from the mother's womb. Prime Minister Li's Mansion does not allow such a person to exist, let alone letting people know that such a person exists.

Therefore, although Li Wantong's surname is Li, he has never appeared in the Li family tree.

"Many famous doctors have seen my legs and said they were caused by congenital insufficient fetal energy and yin-cold stagnation in the legs." Li Wantong said sadly.

"There is no cure?"

Li Wantong nodded helplessly, and then kept her head down. This was the deepest pain in her heart. However, she didn't know if Yu Zhi would have other ideas after knowing it.

Suddenly, Li Wantong felt his clenched hands being held, and there was a warm feeling. Regardless of the pain on his shoulders, Yu Zhi stretched out his hands and held Li Wantong's white hands.

"Trust me, I will cure you."

Yu Zhi tried his best to make his voice gentler. What he didn't know was that this was a very powerful word in Li Wantong's ears.

"Wantong, Wantong, fisherman sings late, Fengqi Wutong. What a good name."

Yu Zhi smiled all afternoon, smiling silly. It's like a child getting his favorite candied haws. And Yu Zhi just got a name.

After a period of happiness, Yu Zhi began to think about Li Wantong's leg problem. He has also seen many doctors from all over the world, and he knows that diseases brought from the mother's womb are difficult to cure.

In two days' time it will be New Year's Eve. Therefore, Yu Zhi needs to return to Kyoto no matter what. Not only because of the New Year, but also because of the mission. Now, Yu Zhi knew that Li Wantong didn't seem to care about his reputation, but Yu Zhi himself felt that it would be inconvenient to carry this name anymore.

Yu Zhi returned to Kyoto in Lao Huang's carriage. This time, Yu Zhi was not knocked unconscious by Lao Huang, and the two had a "very happy chat" along the way. In fact, most of them were Lao Huang's tests of Yu Zhi.

After a conversation, Yu Zhi felt that Lao Huang was not a simple person.

"Boy, Lao Huang, I've been here before."

After saying that, Lao Huang drove away. Yu Zhi didn't understand this sentence, so he turned around and entered Kyoto. The person who greeted Yu Zhi at the city gate was his acquaintance Wang Dafu.

Wang Dafu couldn't sleep well for several days. Because he was the last person Yu Zhi saw before leaving the city, he once again received Qiu Ruoruo's order to stay at the gate of the city until Yu Zhi came back.

The soldiers on duty changed one after another, but the same hardworking figure could still be seen.

"Little Master Yu, little Master Yu, you are finally back."

Wang Dafu suddenly appeared in front of Yu Zhi, startling Yu Zhi, and then he hugged Yu Zhi's thigh and cried with snot and tears.

Wang Dafu began to wonder whether this Yu Zhi was his noble man or a villain.

Seeing Yu Zhi's shoulder soaked with blood and wrapped in gauze, Wang Dafu's tears couldn't stop flowing. It seemed as if his father was seriously ill and was about to die soon.

Yu Zhi grimaced and could tell at a glance that this must be Qiu Ruoruo's instruction. At the gate of Xicheng where people were coming and going, a middle-aged man with a beard hugged the leg of a young man and cried loudly.

"Let go, let go." Yu Zhi struggled, he didn't want to get a bad reputation again. Yu Zhi struggled violently, he had a mysophobia in his heart.

"Follow me back to Qiu Mansion. I told Ruoruo not to embarrass you." Yu Zhi said helplessly.

When Yu Zhi returned to Qiu Mansion, Nuo Min was sitting in the flower hall with Qiu Ruoruo. Baiwei Curie's chat brought the relationship between the two closer.

Only when Yu Zhi came back did he know that the matter of opening the racecourse had been decided, and some of the twists and turns were completed according to the original plan. This was an important milestone in pacifying the battlefield to the north. Because of this matter, the pressure in the north can be greatly relieved.

After sending Nuo Min away, Qiu Ruoruo told Yu Zhi about Xiao Jinghong.

"So it's the person Xiao Jamhong said is chasing you?" Qiu Ruoruo speculated.

Yu Zhi shook his head. He had an intuition that those archers had nothing to do with Jamel Xiao. But Yu Zhi began to wonder what Xiao Jinghong's purpose was.

"Anyway, you must bring more people with you next time you go out. This time you were lucky. What about next time? What about next time?" Qiu Ruoruo looked at the wound on Yu Zhi's shoulder.

Yu Zhi suddenly remembered the last figure and voice that appeared before coma. This is clearly Li Haomiao. Since Li Haomiao was following him, no matter how many people followed him, it would probably cost them their lives.

No one would have thought that Yu Zhi would be protected by a master at such a young age.

"Now that the mission has been completed, when will the reward His Majesty intends to give me be fulfilled?" Yu Zhi asked. He went there for the reward, so there was no need to hide it.

Qiu Ruoruo said: "Tomorrow, His Majesty will reward the officials of Honglu Temple, and they should reward you together. Tomorrow you will enter the palace with me."

Yu Zhi got the reward in vain, and he was naturally happy. And this year's New Year's Eve does not need to be spent at Wenwen Academy, so I am looking forward to it even more.

"Qiuqiu, I want to discuss something with you." Yu Zhi said, "I want to bring my aunt down the mountain this year. In the past years, I accompanied my aunt. If she is alone this year, she will definitely not be used to it."

Qiu Ruoruo naturally agreed. In previous years, she had been inviting Li Qingru and Yu Zhi to come down the mountain to watch the New Year's Eve. Because Yu Zhi failed to pass the examination every year, Li Qingru had not allowed it in previous years.

"I'll send someone to ask the supervisor to come down." Qiu Ruoruo said.

Yu Zhi went to the east courtyard again. One is to show the injury in the next episode, and the other is to think about how to get back the jade pendant from Prime Minister Li's Mansion. Li Xiuyuan is deeply entrenched in the Great Chu Court and cannot be moved casually.

Ye Qinghuan and Li Haomiao had threatened Li Xiuyuan before and after. If Yu Zhi wanted to get it back through this method, it would be too easy. But since it was taken away in such a humiliating way, it must be taken back more openly and more openly, and Li Xiuyuan must be made to admit the marriage.

Ever since Li Haomiao sneaked into Prime Minister Li's Mansion late at night to seek justice for Yu Zhi, Li Xiuyuan had been silent, as if nothing had happened.

"How do you want to get the jade pendant back?" Qiu Jinfeng asked.

Yu Zhi thought for a while and said: "He took advantage of me by clever means, so I will openly put this marriage under the sun."

"Okay." Qiu Jinfeng responded.

Yu Zhi waited for Qiu Jinfeng to continue, but neither the old man nor the young man spoke. "Grandpa Qiu, don't you have any plans?"

Qiu Jinfeng rolled his eyes at Yu Zhi and said ruthlessly: "It's up to you young people to think about planning these things."

Yu Zhi also rolled his eyes, he knew Qiu Jinfeng was putting on airs. He felt depressed and thought about the traditional virtue of respecting the elderly and caring for the young. "Grandpa Qiu is well-informed and will definitely provide me with advice."

Old God Qiu Jinfeng was lying on the couch on the ground, closing his eyes and said: "Li Xiuyuan has a high position in the court and has countless disciples. Now the emperor wants to make him a royal relative. For you, this is a big deal. It’s a difficult matter. You know which one is more important, the Prince of the East Palace’s marriage, or yours.”

It was because Yu Zhi knew the rumors about this marriage in the palace that he ran away to cancel the marriage. Unexpectedly, Li Xiuyuan, an old dog, took Yu Zhi's jade pendant for granted and took it for granted.
