The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he was to die, until suddenly he heard someone calling his name, one after another, as if he had lost all his grief and despair, as if someone was calling his name. Ling Chi touched his heart and made him suddenly have a strong will to survive.
He can't die, he absolutely can't just die like this! Naturally, his wife should be taken care of by himself, his daughter's husband should also be selected by him, and his parents should be served by him until the end of their lives!
The carriage drove to the city and returned to the mansion. When the servants saw the embarrassed couple at first sight, they were all shocked. They heard Shen Xinyan ordering someone to invite a doctor. How could they dare to delay? There is already a clever servant He ran away in a flash.
In the end, even the Eldest Princess was alarmed, and hurried over, seeing the injury on her son, she was shocked: "What's wrong? How could it be like this?!"
"It's okay, it's just some minor injuries. The doctor has already treated them and applied medicine. They will recover in a few days. Mother, don't worry." Wei Junhang said hastily.
The eldest princess looked distressed: "Why do you get hurt all over your body?"
"The road is slippery in snowy weather and the car was driving fast. I fell down without paying attention for a while. It's okay." Wei Junhang coughed.
Afraid that she would be worried again, he tried his best to coax the frown of the eldest princess to relax, and he breathed a sigh of relief when she watched the eldest princess leave.
Turning around, she met Shen Xinyan's tear-filled eyes.
He sighed lowly, feeling that this one in front of him was much more difficult to coax than his mother.
Wei Chenglin looked at his father, pursed his lips, and forced the teary-eyed little Yingzhi and Yunfu to retreat quietly.
Suddenly only the husband and wife were left in the room, Wei Junhang slowly opened his arms and said softly, "Come here and let me hug you."
Without saying a word, Shen Xinyan threw herself into his arms, and when she was about to touch his chest, as if she was afraid of touching a wound on his body, she leaned forward very gently, but her arms were tightly wrapped around his waist.
Wei Junhang's bandaged hands rested lightly on her back: "Aren't I okay now? As the saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have future blessings. After this time, I'm afraid my future blessings will be great!"
Shen Xinyan buried her face in his arms, sniffing the extremely reassuring familiar breath, and finally realized that this person is still alive and he has not left.
"My son."
"Um?"
"You'll always be with me, right?"
"Yes, I will always be with you until you are too old to walk and all your teeth fall out." Wei Junhang knew that she must be shocked a lot today, so he pretended to promise easily.
There was no more sound coming from his arms, and he didn't care. He kissed her on the top of her hair. Gradually, the soft light in his eyes dissipated, replaced by sharpness.
This time he was careless, maybe because he has been hiding it well for so many years, never thought that one day there would be danger coming to him, so that he almost lost his life today.
Thinking of the despair when he climbed the cliff to death, the chill in his eyes added a bit more.
After a long time, Shen Xinyan felt that the whole person finally calmed down, slowly left his warm embrace, and looked into the depths of his eyes: "Who wants to kill you?"
In two lifetimes, the same accident happened at different times. She did not believe that there would be such a coincidence in the world. If it is not a coincidence, there is only one possibility—man-made.
Wei Junhang was stunned, as if he didn't expect that she would ask such a question, and he didn't know how to answer it for a while.
"Think about it too much. It was just an accident today, and no one wanted to harm me." But in an instant, he restrained his surprise and replied as if nothing had happened.
Shen Xinyan pursed her lips, drooped her eyelids for a moment, and said again: "Actually, everything started when you were found out in the 'outside room', didn't it?"
Without waiting for his answer, she hurriedly said: "Of course, maybe not from your point of view, but for me, everything is due to your outer room. In fact, the person who lived in Bali Hutong that day is now Concubine Rui, someone found out when His Majesty went out of the palace to visit his empress, and you appeared at that time, so he took the matter over and made people misunderstand that it was your outer room. I guess Right?"
Wei Junhang's face changed slightly.
"I guess the person you are guarding against should be King Cheng..."
In the previous life, there was no "outside room" incident, nor did he overturn the case for Zhifu Zhao, and naturally there was no later Concubine Rui. There is only one possibility, that is, the Concubine Rui in the previous life really died, maybe because Wei Junhang in the previous life did not show up in time In Bali Hutong, he failed to cover up the whereabouts of Emperor Yuanyou in time, so that Princess Rui was discovered by King Cheng's group. Or maybe it was some other reason that made Princess Rui die in the end.
She didn't know anything about the court battles in her previous life. She only knew that in her previous life, King Cheng had only ended up being imprisoned, and the crimes she bore were not as heavy as in this life. Concubine Rui was posthumously named queen , It was also when the eldest son of the emperor was canonized as the prince.
"I don't want to ask about what you did outside, but what you have done now has endangered your life, so, do you still want to persist?" Shen Xinyan asked with tears.
Wei Junhang sighed, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Although her guess may not be completely correct, it is still far from the truth.
After hesitating for a while, he finally said softly: "Prince Cheng has escaped..."
Shen Xinyan looked up at him in shock: "Then today..."
"It's just a guess, maybe it's not him. But even if it's him, you don't have to worry about it. It's important for him to escape now, and if he misses a hit today, he won't stay again. In addition, he is like a bereaved dog, and there are very few people around him. You won’t easily compromise people to deal with me.”
If the other party really planned to take his own life at all costs, then today he would not just create such an "accident", but directly send someone to assassinate him.
"If today's matter is not Prince Cheng's son, then who else is it?" Shen Xinyan asked worriedly.
Who else
This person must know his identity, and must have been taken by him again... Wei Junhang thought about it, but within a short while, Zhou Shoufu's face came to mind.
He quickly dismissed the thought.
Even though Zhou Shoufu had this intention, but now that he is sick in bed, he is probably powerless. Moreover, there is still Zhou Mao in the Zhou mansion, he will definitely not let Zhou Shoufu do such a thing that will implicate the mansion.
"After thinking about it, it should be gone." He shook his head and replied.
Shen Xinyan frowned: "Then it must be the Prince Cheng who is on the run?"
Wei Junhang didn't know how to answer for a moment, and after a while he said: "I still have to report this matter to His Majesty, and then someone will investigate carefully."
Afraid that she would ask some questions that he could not answer, he hastily changed the subject: "By the way, there is one more thing. Prefect Zhao, no, it should be called Marquis of Zhongyi now. The blood of Marquis of Zhongyi may still be alive."
The case of Zhongyi Hou's injustice has been spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital. Shen Xinyan is a woman in the inner house, and she knows a lot about the case. She also sympathizes with this magistrate who caused trouble for no reason. I hope that the people of the Zhao family will not lose their incense in this way.
Therefore, as soon as she heard that the blood of Zhongyihou's direct relatives was still alive, she immediately became interested.
"Really? Is that person found?"
Seeing that she was finally drawn away, Wei Junhang heaved a sigh of relief.
"I haven't found it yet. I only know that the child was adopted by a farmer couple. Unfortunately, the couple lost their lives in a plague, and the young master of Zhao's mansion also disappeared."
"Then are you sure the little boy is still alive?"
"They should still be alive. The couple didn't have any other relatives, but they were buried well after their death. Every year on their death anniversary, someone would come to pay homage to them."
"According to what you said, is it that young master who goes back to worship them every year? If so, in the coming year, as long as you wait on the anniversary of the couple's death, you will definitely see him."
Wei Junhang hesitated: "It's just that no one has been there in the past two years..."
The wind and rain did not change every year, and Du Du didn't go again for the past two years, presumably there was some accident, or he was delayed by something. If the latter is fine, I am most afraid of the former.
This is also something that Emperor Yuanyou has been hiding from Concubine Rui and dare not tell her.
"This young master Zhao is so young, it is impossible to go to worship his adoptive parents alone, someone must have taken him there. Could it be that before the farmer couple passed away, they entrusted the young master to others?" Shen Xin Yan Thought of this possibility.
What she could think of, how could Wei Junhang not think of it, and he had already sent people to look for it, but there was no conclusive news so far.
"However, other members of the Zhao clan will go to Beijing one after another in the near future." Wei Junhang said again.
Shen Xinyan was noncommittal. Other clansmen... With Concubine Rui and the eldest son of the emperor in the palace, the future of the Zhao family is limitless. The most important thing is that the elder brother of Concubine Rui has already lost their incense. If they can adopt...
This day's big good thing, who will not be envious, naturally rush to come back.
Although Wei Junhang successfully diverted her attention, Shen Xinyan was not completely relieved.
She wasn't sure, after what happened today, would Wei Junhang's death be counted as over? After all, he passed away five years later in the previous life. Although the same "accident" happened five years earlier in this life, it was related to his life and safety, and she could not really feel at ease no matter what.
At night, Shen Xinyan opened her eyes when she heard the person next to her pillow finally breathing evenly. She propped up half of her body on her elbows, staring at him in a daze by the dim candlelight.
Today, until the moment when she thought she would lose him again, she suddenly realized that he had occupied such an important position in her heart before she knew it. There was even a moment when she thought about it and just followed him, so that she didn't have to do it again like the previous one.
All his life, he endured the days after his death so hard.

Wei Chenglin lay on the bed with his eyes wide open, frowning thoughtfully.
His mother's behavior today seemed to have known in advance that something would happen to his father, but at that time he asked his father's whereabouts before Qiu Tang answered. Mother, how will you know what's going to happen next
