At the end of June, a major event happened in the capital.
Xinhou, who rose to power by flattery, offended the emperor and was demoted to prison.
Those who relied on Marquis Xin to rise to power before were in danger.
Wen Guanbin has been keeping a low profile these days, but those whom Xin Hou offended before are beginning to settle their scores.
Wen Guanbin was detained and interrogated by people from the Ministry of Human Rights and Punishment.
Wen Bogui hurried back and called Uncle Wen, Quan Jihua, and Wen Zhongcong to the Fushou Hall.
It was already evening when Wen Qingzhu got the news.
Jasmine stood in front of her and reported: "Song Yan said that they discussed two ways over there. One is to ask Mr. Wan to take the path of the prince through the Xia family. The other is to ask the Wen family to give out one hundred thousand taels of silver." Come out and save the master."
Wen Qingzhu asked one more question: "Who came up with these two methods?"
Jasmine replied: "It was the Fourth Master who suggested taking the path of the Crown Prince, and it was the First Master who suggested taking money to protect the Master."
Hearing this, Wen Qingzhu sneered.
Sure enough, at this time, people in each room of the Wen family are still making their own plans.
"What about father?" Wen Qingzhu felt that it was impossible for Uncle Wen not to give his opinion.
At this time, Wen Shuquan was still tied to the Wen family, and both prospered and suffered losses.
Jasmine frowned and said, "Miss Songyan said that the third master made an opinion at the end, but at that time he blocked all the servants and she didn't hear it."
Wen Qingzhu thought for a moment, and with Wen Shuquan's temperament, he must be thinking about the overall interests of the Wen family.
Only by protecting the overall situation of the Wen family can Wen Shuquan gain more benefits.
After pondering for a long time, Wen Qingzhu told Jasmine: "Go to Liuyuan and ask Aunt Ding. My second uncle was there at the time, so he must know what my father proposed."
"Yes." Jasmine followed the order and retreated.
Late at night, Jasmine came back quietly.
However, Jasmine looked a little serious and said in a low voice: "The Third Master proposes that I give up my current official position and return to my former position as a foreign minister."
"Ha." Wen Qingzhu chuckled, gaining a new understanding of Wen Shuquan.
It was not easy for Wen Guanbin to rise from the sixth rank of the Water Ministry Yuanwai Lang to the fifth rank of the Water Ministry Doctor.
This was an official promotion of one rank, and it was absolutely impossible for the Wen family to give up.
Not to mention that Wen Bogui would definitely object, Wen Jihua would probably not agree either.
After all, the higher Wen Guanbin's official position, the more directly they would benefit.
Another day passed, and the four Wen family members couldn't argue, and finally broke up on bad terms.
On the morning of the third day, Wen Guanbin came back looking haggard.
Immediately, he summoned all the descendants of the Wen family.
In addition to the four masters of the Wen family, there are also the young masters of the Wen family who are direct concubines.
Lu Tao hurried back to the east courtyard of Yanyuan and told Wen Qingzhu the news.
"Grandfather summoned all the descendants of the Wen family?" Wen Qingzhu thought carefully and felt that something was wrong.
Lu Tao nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Manager Hai won't let the slave come near the study."
Wen Qingzhu's heart sank, feeling that Wen Guanbin seemed to be making some decision.
Thinking of this, Wen Qingzhu said: "Don't be anxious, continue to inquire about the news, and come and tell me if there are any changes."
"good."
As soon as Lu Tao's front legs left, Peony came in in a hurry.
"Miss, Mr. Zheng has sent someone to deliver a letter."
Wen Qingzhu frowned, but when he saw the letter, his frown deepened.
In the letter, Zheng Xu said that Wen Guanbin was saved by his hint to the prince, and that the Wen family would not have any problems in the future.
However, at the Ministry of Industry, Wen Guanbin occupied someone else's position and had to spend 30,000 taels of silver to pay his respects.
"This Zheng Xu!" Wen Qingzhu slapped the table hard.
She originally wanted to take this opportunity to make Dafang and Fourth Fang fall out!
As a result, Zheng Xu came to her like this!
"Miss?" Shaoyao asked cautiously when she saw that Wen Qingzhu's expression was not very good.
Wen Qingzhu took two deep breaths and adjusted himself: "Can you contact the person who sent the letter?"
Shaoyao nodded: "Well, I see that the concierge seems to be Mr. Zheng's person, so there should be no problem."
"Okay, I'll write a letter and you can send it to me. I want to see Mr. Zheng." Wen Qingzhu couldn't let Zheng Xu interfere any more.
With Zheng Xu doing this, the Wen family was protected by the prince.
So if something happens to the Wen family, it's really not easy.
One day later, when Zheng Xu had not received any reply, two things happened in the Wen family.
Uncle Wen was banned by Wen Guanbin.
Another thing is that the four houses require 30,000 taels of silver to be paid equally to each house.
But Dafang insisted on being the father-in-law of the Wen family. Over this matter, Wen Bogui and Wen Shuquan were in a stalemate.
Early the next morning, Wen Qingzhu wanted to get up and continue reading.
But when Shaoyao came to report, Uncle Wen and Dr. Lin came to visit Wen Qingzhu.
As a last resort, Wen Qingzhu could only continue to lie on the bed.
After half a stick of incense, Lu Tao led Wen Shuquan and Doctor Lin in.
The smell of medicine was very strong in the room, and the two frowned as soon as they entered the room.
Uncle Wen was sitting in the outer room, while Lu Tao led Imperial Physician Lin into the inner room.
After sitting down, Green Tao tied the golden thread for Doctor Lin and asked him to hang the thread to diagnose the pulse.
Just as Doctor Lin sat down, he couldn't help coughing: "Miss Lu Tao, has the recipe of this incense been changed?"
Lu Tao nodded: "Yes, the third master brought Dr. Qin over last time and said that the original incense had little effect on the young lady. Following the prescription left by Dr. Qin, Shaoyao asked Dr. Song and made some slight changes. I made a recipe for incense."
Doctor Lin frowned: "The original prescription was suggested by Doctor Fang. Who is Doctor Qin?"
Uncle Wen who was outside heard what he said and explained: "It's from the fifth prince. He didn't question Imperial Physician Fang, but he said that he wanted to repair his heart veins as soon as possible. It's not good to play it safe."
Doctor Lin responded and asked no more questions.
Half an hour later, Doctor Lin got up and walked out and said to Wen Shuquan: "Miss Qi's condition has improved a lot. She should be fine when she wakes up in two or three months."
"Will it take another two or three months?" Wen Shuquan frowned. It was too long and he couldn't afford to wait.
Doctor Lin was a little confused: "Miss Seventh's physical condition has always been average. It is best to rest and recuperate. I have a way to wake you up as soon as possible, but it is a tiger-wolf medicine and will be very bad for your future health."
"It would be great if there is a way! Please help Dr. Lin to let the little girl wake up as soon as possible!" Uncle Wen frowned. Now he is in a very bad situation in the Wen family, so she must let Wen Qingzhu wake up as soon as possible.
Doctor Lin wanted to say something else, but seeing Wen Shuquan's expression, he didn't say much in the end.
He sat down and began writing the prescription.
At this moment, Wen Qinglan's voice came from outside the house.
"Is father in there?"
Wen Qingzhu opened his eyes instantly. What did Wen Qinglan want to do when he came over at this time
"Yes." Uncle Wen responded.
Wen Qinglan walked in with Yuan'er and a food box.
After saluting Uncle Wen, she turned around and walked back inside.
The moment she opened the curtain, Lu Tao stopped her: "Miss Fourth, please don't disturb your rest!"
A look of grievance appeared on Wen Qinglan's face for a moment, and she whispered: "I just want to see the seventh sister. After all, she has been sick for so long, and I am really worried. Besides, I am not an outsider, so it's okay to take a look, right?"
After saying that, she turned to Wen Shuquan and said, "Father, my daughter is really worried about the seventh sister."
Uncle Wen looked at Wen Qinglan quietly. He could see the changes in his daughter.
As for whether she was sincere or fake, Wen Shuquan didn't care.
But now that there are outsiders here, he feels it is necessary to make Yanyuan look more harmonious.
"Yes." Uncle Wen nodded, looking at Lu Tao.
The extremely helpless Lu Tao could only get out of the way with dissatisfaction.
Wen Qinglan's eyes flashed with pride, she opened the curtain and walked in.
Standing in front of the bed, Wen Qinglan slowly lifted the curtain.
The sleeping Wen Qingzhu appeared in front of Wen Qinglan's eyes, her face looked like a normal person.
Wen Qinglan immediately narrowed her eyes.
This Wen Qingzhu can't pretend, right
Thinking of this, she sat on the edge of the bed and tried hard to make her eyes red.
While reaching out to hold Wen Qingzhu's hand, he murmured to himself: "Poor sister Qingzhu, why did such a thing happen?"
Wen Qinglan felt it. Wen Qingzhu's hand felt slightly cool to the touch, which was not the body temperature of a normal person.
Is she really unconscious
Wen Qinglan didn't believe it!
She raised her left hand and used her sleeve to block the view of outsiders.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wen Qinglan pinched Wen Qingzhu's palm with her right hand.
Wen Qingzhu still looked like he was sleeping, his eyelashes and lips not even trembling
how so? Wen Qinglan looked down.
She found that Wen Qingzhu's palms had turned red from being pinched by her. Could it be that Wen Qingzhu was really unconscious
Lu Tao next to her was very worried about Wen Qingzhu, until she saw Wen Qinglan deliberately raise his left hand.
She felt something bad in her heart and hurriedly stepped forward.
Wen Qinglan kept paying attention behind her, and when Lu Tao arrived, she had already turned Wen Qingzhu's hand over.
"Miss Lu Tao, your young lady is so pitiful. How could something like this happen?" Wen Qinglan deliberately covered her face and cried, but in fact no tears came out at all.
Lu Tao looked at Wen Qinglan's hypocritical appearance and felt angry and disgusted.
"Fourth Miss has seen it, please give in. Miss, she can't be exposed to the wind!" Lu Tao seemed to be driving Wen Qinglan away directly, but Third Master Wen was here, and she did not dare to be presumptuous.
After all, although Wen Qinglan was born as a concubine, she was still the young lady of the Wen family.
"So that's it." Wen Qinglan nodded, very unwillingly.
She stood up and when she was about to turn around, she suddenly noticed that Wen Qingzhu's fingertips were trembling.
Wen Qinglan stopped immediately, turned her back to Lu Tao, and showed a sneer at the corner of her mouth.
Wen Qingzhu is really faking it!
no! She can't just leave!
But how can Wen Qingzhu reveal his secret
"Fourth Miss, please give way." Lu Tao said with all his strength.
From the corner of her eye, Wen Qinglan saw the medicine box next to Imperial Physician Lin in the outer room.
correct! Silver needle!
Wen Qingzhu turned around and retreated to the corner, and quietly pulled out a very thin silver hairpin from his head.
After hiding the silver hairpin in her sleeve, she stepped forward again and shouted: "Sister, she's awake!"
Lu Tao was startled and quickly put down the tent.
Wen Qinglan hurriedly pushed away the green pottery and slowly hung up the tent again.
As he sat down, he shouted to Dr. Lin outside: "Doctor Lin, I saw my sister's hands moving! She really moved! Is she awake?"
Doctor Lin outside had just finished writing the prescription. When he heard these words, he hurriedly got up and walked in.
Lu Tao became even more panicked. He looked at Wen Qingzhu and then at Dr. Lin who came in.
Huang was panicked for a moment, and his excuses became lame: "Miss Fourth, please put down the curtain!"
Uncle Wen who was outside heard this and walked in: "No need to be shy, let Doctor Lin find out what the problem is first!"
Wen Qinglan took this opportunity to block it with her wide sleeves, and then tried hard to insert the silver hairpin into Wen Qingzhu's palm.
Lu Tao kept staring at Wen Qinglan, shouted in shock, and flew over: "Miss Fourth! What are you poking at Miss!"
At this critical moment, Wen Qingzhu turned his right hand and raised Wen Qinglan's hand.
Half of the silver hairpin suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
