Master Zuo was certainly distressed, but Zuo Binning really made a big mistake this time.
"Ning'er, tomorrow you come with me to the palace to plead guilty to the Emperor and Concubine Li, and then get ready to get married!" Mr. Zuo could only say it with a hard heart.
"Dad! I don't want it!" Zuo Bingning shouted instantly.
Early the next morning, Zuo Binning put on a long brocade dress worn by a daughter of the capital, and put on a decent headdress.
In order to show respect, Zuo Binning also brought a gold hairpin that was previously rewarded by Concubine Li.
On the way out, Qiao Hu hurried over.
The first time he saw Zuo Bingning, he was stunned.
Until Mr. Zuo said: "Hu'er, you've been waiting for a long time. It won't be long before the Qiao family will reverse the case."
After saying this, Mr. Zuo took Zuo Bingning onto the sedan chair.
After meeting Jiang Yue, Mr. Zuo apologized seriously, and Zuo Binning also restrained his temper and began to kneel down and kowtow.
"It's all my fault. Your Majesty, please forgive me for your willfulness."
Jiang Yue looked at Zuo Bingning with satisfaction and nodded: "Just understand. When we go to Chengming Palace later, I will ask Eunuch Fang to accompany you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mr. Zuo breathed a sigh of relief.
On this day, Zuo Binning stayed in Chengming Palace and talked with Concubine Li.
Compared with before, Zuo Bingning's performance now makes Concubine Li very satisfied.
When Jingping Palace received the news, Concubine Wei began to worry.
She had seen what kind of temper Zuo Bingning had.
To make a girl like her surrender, there must be something important happening in the family.
Thinking of this, Concubine Wei didn't want to disturb Wen Qingzhu, but Wen Qingzhu had to know about this.
What Concubine Wei didn't expect was that the letter that was supposed to be delivered to Wen Qingzhu was intercepted by Fu Lie.
After Fu Lie read it, he wrote a letter in his own name to Concubine Wei.
Concubine Wei in the palace couldn't help but frowned after receiving it.
Is this completely isolating Wen Qingzhu
At the same time, Wanbi was arranging flowers in the Hanbing Palace and asked Aunt Wu next to her: "Cheng'er is in a difficult situation now. I should have helped him, but because of my inadvertence, I fell into trouble. Auntie felt that I What to do.”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Your Highness is the best among the princes. He just lacks opportunities." Aunt Wu did not dare to say anything, so she could only answer without making any mistakes.
Wan Bin smiled, knowing Granny Wu's temperament, so she wouldn't say anything more.
But she couldn't stay like this anymore, the emperor's health was really getting worse.
"I heard that Miss Zuo went to accompany Concubine Li yesterday?"
"Yes, Concubine Li was very happy and rewarded her heavily." Aunt Wu explained.
Thinking of the rumors in the palace, she added one more sentence: "The difference between Miss Zuo and before is that this time she changed into a dress that is popular among the richest people in the capital."
"Really?" Wanbi took a deep breath. It seemed that she really couldn't let Prince Ning marry the Zuo family.
She stood up and thought of Queen Zheng.
Looks like she has to take advantage of a dead person once too.
That night, Concubine Wan was sent to Qianyuan Palace.
At noon on the next day, Jiang Yue sent someone to pick up Wanbi.
In the afternoon, Wanbi's confinement was lifted, but her suspicion remained unchanged.
But as soon as this incident came out, Concubine Wei and Concubine Li became vigilant.
In early June, Jiang Yijia went to the Fu family to visit Mrs. Fu, who was seriously ill.
After she left the Fu family, she turned around and went to see Wen Qingzhu.
"Madam, Mrs. Fu's wife can't hold on any longer." Jiang Yijia looked at her and said.
Wen Qingzhu finished drinking Xie Feichen's medicine and asked Lu Tao to take the bowl down.
Then he said to Jiang Yijia: "Mrs. Tai is indeed very old, so she is sad."
"Mrs. Tai wants to see Fu Lie." Seeing Wen Qingzhu pretending to be confused, Jiang Yijia could only say it directly.
Wen Qingzhu sighed: "Princess, it was the Fu family who exterminated everyone and expelled Fu Lie's father from the Fu family. If not for that incident, Fu Lie should have been named Yang."
"But after all, the blood of the Fu family still flows in his body, which cannot be erased." Jiang Yijia didn't want to help the Fu family, but the conditions offered by the Madam were too tempting.
So Jiang Yijia came to Pingguohou Mansion anyway.
Wen Qingzhu revealed her purpose in one sentence: "I can probably guess what Mrs. Tai promised you, but if I let Fu Lie go -"
"You probably don't know that Mr. Zuo has returned to Beijing and that Zuo Binning agreed to marry Prince Ning." Jiang Yijia observed for a long time and determined that Fu Lie did not let Wen Qingzhu know about this.
Wen Qingzhu finally concentrated: "You said Bing Ning agreed?"
"Well, I know that with the abilities of the Marquis and Young Master Lu, they can definitely ruin this marriage, but what if this offends my father?"
Jiang Yijia laughed.
Hearing this, Wen Qingzhu still didn't understand.
The secret edict issued some time ago, coupled with Master Zuo's return to Beijing, Zuo Binning agreed to marry Prince Ning.
It must be that if Zuo Binning doesn't agree, the whole Zuo family will be in trouble.
If something can affect the Zuo family, it must be—
"The emperor intends to pass the throne to Prince Ning?"
Jiang Yijia was very disappointed and said: "Yes, there is no way. One of Queen Zheng's two sons is dead and one is useless. My father can only choose from the remaining sons. The reason why I can be favored by my father is because I know how much he is." I'm distracted by my thoughts. My father seems to be very kind to Wanbi, but in fact he hates her, and by the way, he naturally doesn't like her son either."
"But isn't there still a King Rui now?"
"Qingzhu, don't you know best? My father's body cannot support King Rui's brother when he grows up."
Jiang Yijia didn't quite understand why Fu Lie was so protective of Wen Qingzhu and kept him from knowing any news from outside.
"Let me think about it." Wen Qingzhu pondered. There were too many things involved in this matter.
Jiang Yijia stood up: "I'm going to tell you that my father has lifted Wan's confinement. I don't know what she can do to make my father let her go, but I think you must know."
In the middle of the afternoon, when Wen Qingzhu was taking a nap, he had a dream that was not a nightmare.
She dreamed that Jiang Yuancheng defeated King Ning and finally became the prince.
After waking up, she wanted to sit up, but Xie Feichen held her wrist down.
"You're thinking too much and you're having trouble with your baby."
Wen Qingzhu pinched his eyebrows and said, "I can't help it. Even if I stay at home and don't go out, something will come up."
"That princess? She was poisoned." Xie Feichen said suddenly.
Wen Qingzhu really sat up this time: "Impossible! If she was poisoned, why didn't I notice it at all?"
Xie Feichen curled up his lips: "You are pregnant now, your taste has changed, and other aspects will have changed to some extent, so the impact will be great."
"Is it a very powerful poison?" Wen Qingzhu could deeply feel the changes in Jiang Yijia.
Especially this time, she was actually willing to come here for Mrs. Fu's sake.
Even the ultimate goal is actually for Fu Yu.
But compared to her previous stupidity and arrogance, Wen Qingzhu felt that Jiang Yijia should have a chance to correct herself.
"Then do you know how to detoxify?"
"Madam, the Valley Master asked me to help you detoxify." Xie Feichen refused without thinking.
Wen Qingzhu looked at Xie Feichen's back and knew that he was not a nosy person.
He must have had some purpose when he said that.
"Tell me, what do you want me to help you with?"
Xie Feichen stopped and said, "I heard that Madam has a capable man who once rescued a man who had his intestines broken. I want to meet him."
"Okay, but you can't take him out of the capital." Wen Qingzhu was a little worried. He had never experienced those things, and Xie Feichen's personality was still the same as before.
At night, Fu Lie did not come back.
Wen Qingzhu asked Lu Tao: "Is the Marquis still in the palace?"
"Well, something seems to have happened in the palace today." The news Lu Tao received was also very vague.
Wen Qingzhu thought of Xi'er and Jasmine: "How are their health?"
"Having mostly recovered, but to be on the safe side, Mr. Xie said it's best to stay at home and go out again before the end of June."
After hesitating for a moment, Wen Qingzhu stood up: "I will go to the palace to find him."
"Madam!" Yang Liu appeared at the door in an instant and said with an embarrassed look on his face, "The Marquis has ordered that you are not allowed to go out. If you are worried, I will send someone to the palace to inquire."
Wen Qingzhu saw Xie Feichen coming over, she looked at him and smiled.
Xie Feichen frowned slightly, but still walked over.
When he was about to reach the door, Yang Liu suddenly felt a sense of hostility.
However, he had no chance to take action and was knocked unconscious by Xie Feichen.
"I would like to add another condition. I want to go to the palace's medicine storehouse to have a look." Xie Feichen knew that Wen Qingzhu could only agree to him.
"Okay." Wen Qingzhu felt helpless and could only nod.
Lu Tao took Wen Qingzhu's hand and said, "Madam! You really can't go out! Have you forgotten about Long Zhi last time?"
"It's okay. As long as Mr. Xie is here, nothing will happen to me." Wen Qingzhu was not worried about this at all.
Hearing the word Long Zhi, Xie Feichen's eyes darkened: "Do you still know Long Zhi?"
"You know him too?" Wen Qingzhu turned around and looked at Xie Feichen.
More than an hour later, Wen Qingzhu and Xie Feichen appeared in the village where she had been kidnapped.
"If Long Zhi still appears here, people from the Hou Mansion will come and report."
Wen Qingzhu followed Xie Feichen for almost half an hour, leaving her panting from exhaustion.
Xie Feichen ignored her, but patiently continued to examine the places where Long Zhi might have left traces.
"Then please tell me, what grudges do you have with Long Zhi?"
Unfortunately, Xie Fei didn't reply.
Wen Qingzhu simply sat down and looked at Xie Feichen's figure, feeling very hesitant.
She could make Xie Feichen sit down and talk properly, but she was not sure whether Xie Feichen would kill her because of this.
After thinking about it again and again, Wen Qingzhu stood unable to walk any further.
He just said: "You can look for it slowly, I'll sit down and take a rest."
Xie Feichen glanced at her, said nothing, turned around and left.
Wen Qingzhu sighed helplessly, thinking about how to make Xie Feichen try to trust her.
I don’t know how long it took, but a shadow suddenly appeared at the door.
Wen Qingzhu thought it was Xie Feichen, but the moment she looked up, she immediately knew who was on the other side.
He slowly raised his eyes and saw Long Zhi standing at the door dressed in white: "Madam, we meet again."
"You actually lured Xie Feichen away?" Wen Qingzhu became wary. He didn't know if the sleeve arrows in his sleeves were useful.
Long Zhi glanced at her sleeves and said with a smile: "Madam, don't be afraid. I just came here to explain one thing, that is, the Wu clan and Wanbi are not in complete collusion."
"Not completely colluded?" Wen Qingzhu noticed his wording.
Long Zhi walked in and sat opposite Wen Qingzhu.
He glanced outside the door: "I don't have much time. Xie Feichen will be back in a quarter of an hour at the earliest."
"I hope Miss Wen can leave a legacy for the Wu clan in the future." Long Zhi's expression was very serious.
Wen Qingzhu analyzed Long Zhi's eyes and micro-expressions and found that he was very serious and did not look like he was lying.
Finally, she asked: "I am just an ordinary person. How can I decide the life and death of the Wu clan? At most, I can only kill Wanbi and her son."
"Madam, didn't Master Jiudeng tell you anything?" Long Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was trying to discern the authenticity of what Wen Qingzhu said.
"Do you still know Master Jiu Deng?" Wen Qingzhu thought of the relics on her waist, which Master Jiu Deng left for her.
