Although Hua Yizhen didn't know the specific situation of his family now, he knew from the fact that Berlin invited people so quickly that the old man Yu, who was known as a miracle doctor, might live in his home for a long time. The old man thought about it for a while and had an idea. He winked at his youngest son who was the most tactful one walking out of the family temple.
Hua Pingyang was stunned at first, but when he saw his father's eyes fall on Zhier, he understood something.
After a thorough inspection, Old Yu looked at Hua Zhi and said, "Don't worry, Miss. The old man is just a little tired. I think his health is better than others of the same age. He will be fine after a few days."
Hua Zhi was relieved immediately and said with a smile: "Shaoyao accompanied me to Yinshan Pass before and took good care of Grandfather. This should be her credit."
Hearing the name of his disciple, Yu Lao also smiled, "I don't know when that girl will be able to return."
"It should be soon." Even if Shaoyao had the ability to guard the border, it would not be her turn to be the garrison commander in the south, and she and Yan Xi would not allow it.
"Zhi'er." Hua Pingyang stepped forward and bowed to Old Yu first, "Fourth Uncle wants to ask you something."
Hua Zhi had always been close to her fourth uncle, so she nodded without doubt and said to the old Taoist: "Today is a family dinner, so it's not appropriate to keep you here. I'll arrange for someone to take you back to the prince's mansion later."
Mr. Yu nodded with a smile to show that he understood.
Hua Zhi bowed apologetically, called Bolin over and told him, "You will personally escort Mr. Yu over later."
"Yes, elder sister."
After bowing to her grandfather and father, Hua Zhi walked to her fourth uncle.
Watching Hua Pingyang leading the group away, Hua Yi straightened his expression and looked at Old Yu who was waiting for him to speak, "Please tell me, doctor, how is Zhi'er's health now?"
Hua Pingyu and Hua Bailin looked at Mr. Yu nervously.
"Even if you don't ask, I will still tell you. The young lady's body is like a bow with a fully drawn string. No one knows when the string will break. This is not a question of how to use medicine. Medicine cures the disease. The young lady is not sick now."
Old Yu sighed. He had changed the prescription several times, but it was of no use. "She has been injured several times in the past two years, and her qi and blood are severely deficient. If it weren't for my disciple trying his best to nourish her, her body would be even worse. But even with such a body, she recovers very quickly every time she is injured. For example, the wound on her shoulder split several times in the palace this time, and even the stitches couldn't stop it. At that time, I was worried that the wound would fester, but it didn't. She recovered after a few days of nursing. This is the recovery speed of a strong person, but the young lady's body is definitely not strong. Abnormal is a monster."
Shaking his head, Old Yu looked at the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren who were all in a serious mood, "It's not easy for the young lady. She has come this far by persevering. Such perseverance is rare among men, not to mention women. I don't want her to be defeated by her body. After thinking about it, there is only one way we can try."
Hua Pingyu quickly stood up and clasped his fists, "Please tell me what's going on, Doctor. I will be very grateful."
Old Yu stood up and held him up. "These days, not only the Emperor, the Crown Prince, and the Queen Mother have often asked me to take good care of the young lady, but other adults have also asked me to do so openly or secretly. I dare not not try my best. This method is easy to say, and now that the pillars of the Hua family are back, the young lady can now take off her burden. My idea is to prevent her from taking it off for the time being."
Hua Yi is a smart man, and he understood immediately, "Let her continue to bear this pressure?"
"Yes, then release it slowly. Don't let her loose the strength right away. I'm worried that if she loosens it too quickly, she won't be able to get up."
Hua Yizheng nodded slightly, "I know what to do. I'll have to trouble the doctor to take good care of her. Zhi'er has devoted all her efforts to the Hua family. I will protect her no matter what."
As he spoke, Hua Yizheng stood up and bowed to Doctor Yu. Hua Pingyu did the same. Born and raised in the capital, they had seen the succession of noble families. They knew too well how difficult it was for a family that had been confiscated and exiled to regain its foothold in this cannibalistic place. But Zhier not only did it, she also came to their aid from far away in the north, and gained a foothold in the court as a woman, becoming the emperor's tutor. No one could imagine how much hardship she had to endure to get to where she is today except herself.
They couldn't say thank you, or even express their gratitude out loud, as that would have been disrespectful to Zhi'er. She never did all this just for their thanks. What she was protecting was this family and everyone in it. Everyone in the Hua family needed to remember this.
Yu Lao was also relieved, and he returned the greeting, "I will definitely do my best."
After sending the person away, the father and son stood there for a long time without saying a word. They were back, finally coming back after two years of thinking. However, only when they came back did they realize what price their Hua family had paid for this unexpected disaster.
Hua Pingyang led people to the garden. Seeing the soil still moist, he smiled and said, "This place was so deserted before that it was unbearable to look at."
Hua Zhi smiled and said, "I didn't see it. Before the emperor returned the house to me, he had already had people tidy up all the places except the backyard."
"I heard that the new king stayed with you for more than a year."
Hua Zhi raised her eyebrows, "What does Fourth Uncle want to know?"
"You really have the habit of protecting your own people. If you want to protect yourself, you should protect me too." Hua Pingyang laughed. "After two years away, my father and elder brother are both going to return to the court. Is it wrong for me to ask more questions?"
"If Fourth Uncle had asked me directly, I would have answered directly. There's no need to beat around the bush." Hua Zhi smiled and was very happy to retort. They used to be uncle and nephew, who were always so respectful to each other.
"The Empress taught him very well. He was a little weak at that time because he had no mother to protect him and would instinctively retreat to protect himself. Later, I took him on a long journey and he traveled with Berlin. As he experienced more things, his weakness was worn away. Fourth uncle, rest assured that the Emperor will grow into a wise ruler with ambition, long-term vision and benevolence."
"Aren't you afraid of the future..."
"Don't worry, I am his tutor, and the two assistant ministers are the regent and the tutor. They will do their best to assist him both publicly and privately. The harem is managed by the Empress Dowager, so no one has the chance to lead him astray."
Zhier's confidence comes from herself. Hua Pingyang couldn't help laughing when he realized this. He couldn't connect the person in front of him who spoke so crisply with the niece who just wanted to eat something delicious and read a good book.
However, since Zhi'er is so optimistic about the new king, he must be good. He believes in Zhi'er's vision, and now no one in the Hua family will not believe in Zhi'er's vision.
"My father still says that I am not fit for the civil service, but if I am willing to leave home and start my own business, he will not interfere with me in this matter."
"I used to feel sorry for my fourth uncle, thinking that if he entered the government with his ability, he would definitely do better than my father, but now I agree with grandfather's point of view." Hua Zhi looked at his fourth uncle solemnly, "It is precisely because my fourth uncle is too capable that he cannot enter the government. The Hua family believes in keeping a low profile, even if the person who enters the government is a bookworm who only knows how to study. The Hua family does not need to be smooth, and this is the reason why the Hua family has been passed down to this day."
