Concubine Wan looked at Concubine Li with a clear smile: "Sister, what you said is wrong. You are not an imperial physician, so there is no point in going in. My sister has already asked the imperial physician to go in, and the two sisters are waiting for news outside."
"you-"
"Concubine Li! Let's wait outside." Concubine Wei spoke in time, persuaded Concubine Li, and gave her a wink.
Concubine Li and Concubine Wei have been together for many years, so she still knows Wei Hui's abilities.
So Concubine Li became quiet.
Wan Bin looked at Concubine Wei with sharp eyes: "The relationship between my sister and Concubine Li is really enviable to me."
Concubine Wei smiled and said nothing and did not reply.
As the night gets darker, the Qianyuan Palace is brightly lit.
At about a quarter of an hour, several imperial doctors came out.
Concubine Li stepped forward and said, "Mr. Gan, how is your majesty?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, your Majesty will wake up after a good rest for two days." Dr. Gan didn't tell the truth, at least she couldn't tell the truth here.
"Really?" Concubine Li didn't really believe what he said.
Wanbi interjected: "Sister, are you afraid that His Majesty will wake up too soon?"
Concubine Li's face turned aside: "You can eat random things, but you can't say random words!"
Concubine Wei asked Dr. Gan several more questions, and after she had a rough idea, she said goodbye to Concubine Li and Concubine Wan.
When the news from the palace came out, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help laughing.
Jasmine didn't understand: "Ma'am, why are you laughing?"
Wen Qingzhu looked at the starry sky outside the window and sighed faintly: "Jiang Yue wanted to test the reactions of the three empresses, but he didn't know that Concubine Wei and Concubine Wan had already understood in their hearts. Concubine Li was the only one who didn't see through."
"But didn't Concubine Wan immediately take control of the Qianyuan Palace and not let Concubine Wei and the others go in to see the emperor up close? She could see through it anyway."
Jasmine felt that this was not like Wan Bin's style, and since she was still in the cold palace, she actually appeared in such a grand manner. Concubine Li did not dare to do anything to Wan Bin.
After looking away, Wen Qingzhu looked at Jasmine with a smile: "You have also served this emperor. He will always be the only one in this world that he will not doubt. Prince Ning is not a good choice. Concubine Wan just obeyed the emperor's orders. I mean, it’s just adding fuel to the flames.”
"But after the great victory in Ganzhou, Prince Ning came back with military exploits. As long as Concubine Li doesn't make any big mistakes, there shouldn't be any big problems. Are Wanbi and the others going to take action?"
The smile on Wen Qingzhu's face grew brighter: "Not only do they want to take action, they even want to kill him with one blow. This battle with Prince Ning will definitely strengthen his military power, so with Wanbi's methods, he will definitely start with Jiang Yijia …”
The next day, Wen Qinglan came to Pingguo Hou Mansion again.
It was said that Mrs. Liu was taken to Prince Chu's Mansion by her, and she was very homesick for her son and wanted to meet Wen Shuquan.
After hearing Wen Qinglan's sincere request, if she hadn't known how much Mr. Liu hated Wen Qinglan before, she might have been deceived by her words.
After putting down the teacup, Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes and looked at her: "Concubine Lan, my grandmother has been taken care of by her fourth uncle. How come she suddenly went to the Prince of Chu's Mansion?"
"This is what Seventh Sister doesn't know. The Wen family's old house was infected with black worm disease, and all the uncles and aunts were trapped there, not to mention the servants. If my grandmother hadn't been lucky, I would have seen her. Where is the granddaughter?"
As Wen Qinglan spoke, she even squeezed out two tears.
He wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, looking worried and scared.
Wen Qingzhu didn't care what she said, he just listened and finally said: "If Concubine Lan has finished speaking, can she leave?"
Wen Qinglan's face froze, and it looked like Wen Qingzhu didn't listen to her at all.
Under the stalemate, Wen Qinglan could only leave temporarily.
But in the next few days, Wen Qinglan never gave up.
Although Wen Qingzhu saw her every time, he just wouldn't let go.
Soon, rumors began to appear in the capital.
Everyone in the Hou Mansion knew what was going on, but Lu Tao did not.
She walked on the road, listening to the crowd talking.
"Have you heard? Madam Ping Guohou's father lives in the Hou Mansion, and the old lady of the Wen family lives in the Chu Prince's Mansion. The old lady wants to see her biological son, but that incredible lady is holding him back. ?”
"Really? No way, Mrs. Fu is not always very good."
"Good, good! But Madam and Prince Chu's Mansion won't deal with it! Think about what happened between her and Prince Chu's Mansion back then..."
"I won't get it, so-"
Lu Tao couldn't stand listening anymore: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
The people who chew their tongues are just trying to keep their mouth shut. There are noble people everywhere in the capital, and they even run away like birds and beasts without even seeing the green pottery clearly.
Along the way back, Lu Tao found that people would talk about this every once in a while.
If he only heard people talking about it occasionally, Lu Tao wouldn't think anything of it, but in every lively and crowded place, there would be people talking about it.
Lu Tao is very familiar with this method.
Someone is deliberately spreading rumors!
Back at the Hou Mansion, Lu Tao immediately told Wen Qingzhu about the incident.
Who knew that Wen Qingzhu smiled and said, "I sent Jasmine to find someone to spread these rumors."
"Ah?" Lu Tao was stunned.
Wen Qingzhu then elaborated and told what Jiang Yuancheng wanted to do to get the news out of Wen Shuquan.
"Madam, you want him to have trouble in Prince Chu's Mansion?" Lu Tao immediately thought of Wen Qingzhu's purpose.
"As expected of the disciple I brought out, he is getting smarter and smarter." Wen Qingzhu admitted generously.
On the eighteenth day of the second lunar month, King Ning and Fu Lie returned to the court, and the people lined the streets to welcome them.
The Pingguo Hou Mansion was also prepared early, and Wen Qingzhu and his people were waiting at the door.
On the street, a group of black armored cavalry appeared in sight.
The fluttering flags rustled in the wind, and the figure at the head was still tall and mighty.
More than a quarter of an hour later, the army arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion.
Fu Lie dismounted and took off his helmet, revealing a face soaked in wind and frost, but his brows were unusually gentle.
Wen Qingzhu quickly stepped forward and threw herself into his arms, feeling his heartbeat: "You're back."
"Well, I'm back." Fu Lie hugged her gently.
At this moment, an extremely discordant voice intervened.
"Master Fu, I wonder how long Madam Ling plans to keep your father-in-law?"
Wen Qingzhu let go of Fu Lie, turned around and saw Jiang Yuancheng appearing in his field of vision.
Behind him, Wen Qinglan was pushing a wheelchair, and sitting on it was Ms. Liu who looked very bad, her eyes were distracted.
When they arrived, Jiang Yuancheng's eyes shifted from Fu Lie to Wen Qingnuo, and he said meaningfully: "The Marquis came back today, just in time to resolve this matter."
Wen Qingzhu said nothing, but looked at Jiang Yuancheng with cold eyes.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Jiang Yuancheng could only turn to look at Fu Lie: "What do you think, Lord Marquis? How could the Duke's mansion in Pingguo, which is so dignified, know how to escape? Lan'er is worried about her father, and the old lady is worried about her son. She is really worried about her father-in-law having an affair in the Hou's mansion. What happened."
Fu Lie glanced sideways at Wen Qingzhu, feeling Fu Lie's gaze, she also turned her gaze.
At this moment, Fu Lie understood what she meant.
"His Royal Highness King Chu, my father-in-law is injured now and it is really difficult to move. But if His Highness insists on taking people away, we won't say anything, but at least let the doctor come and take a look, right?"
"As the Marquis said." Jiang Yuancheng clapped his hands, and Doctor Mei appeared in front of him.
Fu Lie frowned slightly. When Jiang Yuancheng came this time, he actually brought the doctor with him!
"Master Hou, don't worry. As long as Dr. Mei is here, nothing will happen to your father-in-law." Jiang Yuancheng looked sideways at Wen Qingzhu, but she had already turned around and walked back to the house.
"Let's go!" Jiang Yuancheng led Doctor Mei and followed Wen Qingzhu.
When they arrived at Wen Shuquan's courtyard, Doctor Mei inspected him carefully, then turned to Jiang Yuancheng and said, "Your Highness, Mr. Wen's injury is indeed serious, but... Mrs. Ping Guohou has taken good care of him, and his injury is slowly getting better."
"Madam, you really feel sorry for your father." Jiang Yuancheng said maliciously.
Wen Qingzhu just sneered and said nothing.
In less than half an hour, the people brought by Jiang Yuancheng were ready and carried Wen Shuquan out of Pingguo Hou Mansion.
Watching their figures gradually disappear, a smile appeared on Wen Qingzhu's face.
She was indeed right. Wen Qinglan, a fool, admitted that she was the one who spread the rumors.
In this way, it gave Jiang Yuancheng a wrong judgment, and he would not suspect that she had done something to Wen Shuquan.
Lu Tao rushed over from behind and asked nervously: "Master Hou, where is Dongzi? Didn't he come back with you?"
Fu Lie turned around and explained apologetically: "Dongzi is injured and cannot easily work by boat or carriage. I have arranged for a military doctor to accompany him. Don't worry, he will arrive in the capital in three days."
"That's good." Lu Tao breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling relieved.
After seeing Wen Qingzhu and Nianfu, Fu Lie went to the palace to report on the war in Ganzhou.
At night, Lu Tao kept walking back and forth in front of Wen Qingzhu.
Wen Qingzhu sighed helplessly: "If you are so worried about Dongzi, I will send someone to accompany you to pick him up."
"No, no, no!" Lu Tao immediately waved his hand and refused.
But seeing the smile on Wen Qingzhu's face, she agreed: "Who will the madam send with me?"
Wen Qingzhu pointed to the door: "Yang Liu's injury has recovered. Mr. Hou is back, so there is no need to worry at home. Let him accompany you."
"Thank you, madam!" Lu Tao said goodbye and immediately turned around and ran out.
As soon as she went out, she grabbed Yang Liu at the door and ran out: "Quick! Follow me to pick up Dongzi!"
Yang Liu has never had such close contact with Lu Tao.
While running behind Lu Tao, he stared at Lu Tao's hand holding his wrist, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
When they arrived at the stable, Lu Tao picked the horse that Yang Liu usually rode. He also picked a suitable horse, led the horse and walked out.
After taking only two steps, Lu Tao realized that no one was following him.
Looking back, he saw Yang Liu lowering his head blankly, looking at his wrist.
"What are you doing! Come with me quickly to pick up Dongzi!"
Yang Liu immediately raised his head and looked at Lu Tao's cheerful appearance, and his blocked heart suddenly became unblocked.
He grabbed the horse's rein tightly and followed quickly: "Come on, come on! That boy Dongzi is really useless! He's actually injured!"
When Lu Tao heard this, he frowned: "Don't say that to him! He must have been injured trying to save Mr. Hou!"
"Okay, okay." Yang Liu smiled, but he envied Yang Dong even more in his heart.
The two of them took advantage of the bright moonlight and began to rush out of the city.
When they arrived at the city gate, after Yang Liu took the waist card, the guard guarding the gate let them leave.
A soldier standing on the city wall immediately turned around and walked down the tower after seeing Green Tao.
Half an hour later, Jiang Ziang from Fengya Building got the news.
He immediately stood up and said with a wicked smile: "It seems that I can kill three birds with one stone this time! I really have to thank Madam Ping Guohou."
Jiang Ziang went out immediately, followed by his troops and left the capital.
After running around for half the night, Lu Tao felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.
Yang Liu also noticed that her face was a little ugly, so he turned to her and said, "There is a post station not far ahead. Let's take a rest and wait until dawn before setting off."
"It's okay." Lu Tao's face suddenly turned pale, and big beads of sweat kept falling from his forehead.
Yang Liu felt something was wrong and immediately turned around and stopped in front of Lu Tao: "Come down and let me take a look!"
Forced to stop, Lu Tao could only turn over and dismount.
