"Come here! Kill the remaining two!"
That cold voice echoed around again.
Lu Tao just hugged Yang Dong tightly, his eyes were blank and he didn't move.
Yang Liu took a deep breath and clenched the knife in his hand.
Looking at the men in black around him, Yang Liu frowned and vowed to avenge Yang Dong.
With a loud shout, the two sides started fighting again.
The sky was getting brighter, and the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance.
As the morning light shone, Yuan Min led a group of people and saw a figure half-kneeling on the ground.
When he arrived, he realized that it was Yang Liuban kneeling on the ground, tightly protecting Lv Tao who had fainted.
"Quick! Let Doctor Sun come forward!"
The carriage behind stopped, and Sun Junming followed the soldiers to Yang Liu.
He found that although Yang Liu was half-kneeling, he had completely fainted.
"Help Mr. Yang move away! Miss Lu Tao's condition is not good!" Sun Junming saw the bright red blood under Lu Tao's body and immediately gave the order.
In the evening, Yuan Ming came back with two people and a corpse.
Wen Qingzhu walked over and saw the bloodless Lu Tao and Yang Liu, as well as a corpse covered with white cloth.
There were three people in total, and two showed up.
The remaining one must be Yang Dong without a doubt!
Arriving at the ward of the Hou Mansion, Wen Qingzhu immediately went to Lu Tao, lifted up the thin quilt on his body and took a look. He immediately covered his mouth, and his tears kept falling like broken beads.
"Come here! Prepare for surgery!" Wen Qingzhu endured the pain in his heart and began to prepare for treatment.
Night falls, dark clouds cover the sky and the moon.
There were candles lit inside the house, but it was pitch black outside.
Wen Qingzhu stood in front of the bed, quietly looking at Lu Tao, who had her eyes closed tightly. She frowned slightly, and the look of pain suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
Not long after, Jasmine quietly came behind her: "Madam, Mother Ye is awake and refuses to take the medicine. She wants to come over and see Lu Tao."
Wen Qingzhu took a deep breath and held Lu Tao's hand tightly: "Let Mother Ye come over."
"Yes." Jasmine stepped back again.
After a while, the sound of staggering footsteps came from behind.
Mother Ye shouted loudly: "Green pottery!"
She staggered over, knelt in front of the bed, looked at Lu Tao on the bed, and turned around while crying: "Miss, Lu Tao will wake up, right? Will he wake up, right?"
Wen Qingzhu covered Ye's mother's hand and told her seriously: "Lv Tao will wake up, he will definitely wake up."
Mother Ye turned her head, grabbed Lu Tao's arm and cried muffledly.
Seeing Mother Ye like this, something seemed to be blocked in Wen Qingzhu's heart.
I don't know how long it took, but Fu Lie appeared behind him, resting on Wen Qingzhu's shoulders.
"You go and rest first, and leave the rest to me."
Wen Qingzhu didn't move, and her eyes never left Lu Tao.
She was reflecting on why she took it so lightly.
Why did she only let Yang Liu take Lu Tao there? Why didn't she send a few more people there.
"Qingqing!" Fu Lie's voice also became suppressed.
Mother Ye turned around, looked at Wen Qingzhu and said, "Miss! Your health is not good to begin with. There are slaves here to take care of you. Don't break your body for the sake of the young prince."
Wen Qingzhu turned to look at Mother Ye. She was obviously the saddest one, but now Mother Ye was trying to persuade her.
By the way, she didn't do well enough.
So I can't protect the people around me.
Wen Qingzhu wanted to stand up, but after sitting for a long time, his legs were numb.
One was unstable and almost fell.
Fu Lie quickly supported her: "I'm here."
Mother Ye was so frightened that she stood up: "Miss, go and rest. I have been resting during the day. It's okay now."
"Yes." Wen Qingzhu nodded, let Fu Lie hold him, turned around and walked out slowly.
Walking in the corridor, Wen Qingzhu looked at the lonely front and asked Fu Lie: "Have you found it?"
Fu Lie didn't reply.
After pondering, Wen Qingzhu smiled weakly: "Yes, we shouldn't be able to find anything in such a short time."
But Wen Qingzhu probably knew who did it.
As they were about to reach the main courtyard, Yang Jiu came over.
Fu Lie handed Wen Qingzhu to Jasmine and Xi'er, and followed Yang Jiu to the side.
Looking at their backs, Wen Qingzhu asked himself, maybe he shouldn't stay in the backyard anymore.
After finishing his words quickly, Fu Lie turned around.
"I'll take you back."
Wen Qingzhu shook his head, looked at Yang Jiu's back and said, "I'll go see Dongzi."
After a moment of silence, Fu Lie agreed.
When we arrived at Dongzi's new house, there were still words of happiness that had not been torn off.
Thinking about how Wen Qingzhu had hurriedly held a wedding for him and Lu Tao before, he didn't know if it was right.
Their child was not saved after all.
Wen Qingzhu's tears fell again, and the huge back instantly enveloped her whole body.
Pictures of Lu Tao's death in his previous life suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
She shouldn't have thought of it, but the more she avoided it, the clearer the picture became.
Fu Lie turned around and hugged her tightly: "Qingqing! It's my fault! It's not your fault! I should have sent more people to protect Dongzi! I didn't expect that their goal was Dongzi and the others!"
Wen Qingzhu buried herself in his chest and cried muffledly.
It's not Fu Lie's fault, nor her fault, but those people's fault!
What does human life mean to them
In the early morning, Wen Qingzhu woke up to the cry of blessing.
After sitting up, the new nanny hugged Nianfu and kept coaxing him, but he just couldn't stop crying.
Wen Qingzhu walked out without wearing any shoes.
He took the nianfu from the nanny's hand and slowly turned it around in the room, and the crying slowly stopped.
The wet nurse lowered her head and apologized: "This is all due to my poor care. Madam, please forgive me."
"It's okay, you go down first, I'm here."
Seeing that Wen Qingzhu was concentrating on coaxing the child, with no anger on his face, the wet nurse withdrew with peace of mind.
Two days later, Lu Tao woke up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he shouted Yang Dong's name and was stunned when he saw Wen Qingzhu sitting in front of the window.
She turned her head and glanced inside the room, then turned around to go out the next moment.
Wen Qingzhu stopped her and said, "You have just woken up. Wait for the maid to bring the medicine and lunch. You can drink and eat before you go over."
When Lu Tao heard this, he immediately lowered his head, and his tears fell on the quilt, soaking it all.
Soon, the maid brought soup, medicine and food.
Under Wen Qingzhu's supervision, Lu Tao drank the medicine in one breath.
I couldn't eat the food, so I forced myself to swallow it.
Lu Tao knew in her heart that she had to drink medicine and eat well to have the strength to see Dongzi.
More than two-quarters of an hour later, Xi'er came over and helped Lu Tao to the mourning hall together with Wen Qingzhu.
The room was completely white, and there was Yang Liu kneeling in front of the coffin.
Wearing mourning cloth and linen clothes, he looked motionlessly at the coffin in front of him.
"Brother Yang Liu, Madam and Sister Lu Tao are here." Seeing that Yang Liu didn't respond, Xi'er reminded him.
The moment he heard Lu Tao's name, Yang Liu hurriedly stood up and turned around. The moment he saw Lu Tao, he had a lot to say, but in the end he just mumbled a word of sorry.
Yang Liu's voice was hoarse and filled with dry pain. He didn't dare to face Lu Tao directly and lowered his head involuntarily.
Lu Tao didn't notice Yang Liu, but walked to the coffin step by step.
Looking at the person lying in the coffin, she thought she would burst into tears, but in the end she smiled and reached out to touch Yang Dong's cold cheek.
"Finally I saw you for the last time."
Yang Liu looked over in a blink of an eye, the guilt in his heart magnified infinitely at this moment.
He couldn't protect Yang Dong, nor could he protect his and Lu Tao's children.
It would be great if he had a master as powerful as him!
Unfortunately, he didn't.
Not long after, Jasmine walked in.
"Madam, Concubine Lan is here."
Wen Qingzhu turned his head and looked over, his eyes so calm that it frightened Jasmine.
Through the calm exterior, Jasmine saw the storm brewing in Wen Qingzhu's heart.
When they arrived at the front hall, as soon as they saw Wen Qinglan, someone came outside the door and announced that Lei Shuo was here.
After sitting down, Lei Shuo also came to the room.
She stared at Wen Qinglan, walked to Wen Qingzhu, and whispered: "Three days later, Qiniang and Prince Ning will get married."
Wen Qingzhu nodded and asked Lei Shuo to go inside and wait.
Lei Shuo was worried that Wen Qinglan had ulterior motives: "Qingzhu, I'm still here to accompany you."
"It's okay." Wen Qingzhu comforted Lei Shuo and gave her a firm look.
Seeing Wen Qingzhu insisting again and again, Lei Shuo turned around and went in.
The room became quiet, and Wen Qingzhu showed a standard smile: "Concubine Lan is here today, what's the matter?"
Seeing Wen Qingzhu's reaction being so bland, Wen Qinglan started to feel a little unsure.
Yang Dong was definitely dead, and Lu Tao and Yang Liu were also seriously injured.
Although Wen Qingzhu and Xie Feichen are here, it is likely that they will not have a problem saving their lives.
But this time, the Pingguo Hou Mansion still lost an important person, and Wen Qingzhu's reaction was so dull
Wen Qinglan subconsciously felt that Wen Qingzhu must be planning something secretly.
So she asked tentatively: "Is everything okay in the Hou Mansion these days?"
"Thank you for your concern, sister. The Hou Mansion has always been very good." Wen Qingzhu's smile became more and more friendly.
But when she called Sister Wen Qinglan, Wen Qinglan got goosebumps all over her body.
The first instinct was that Wen Qingzhu was definitely wrong!
But Wen Qingzhu didn't take the initiative to ask questions next, and Wen Qinglan felt that it would be better for her to leave directly.
But his father never woke up, and Mrs. Liu instead clamored to come to Pingguo Hou Mansion.
Wen Qinglan struggled for a while, but finally spoke: "Grandma has been in good spirits these past few days. Although my father has been taken care of by Miss Yin, he still hasn't woken up after all."
"Then it would be better to ask the imperial physician in the palace to take a look at my father. The more people take a look, the more hope he will have." Wen Qingzhu said sincerely.
But Wen Qingzhu like this made Wen Qinglan even more uneasy.
This kind of calm really made her panic.
"The doctor in the palace has also looked at it, but he really can't see anything. Why don't you go over and have a look?" Wen Qinglan's face was filled with sadness and hope.
Wen Qingzhu shook his head: "I showed it to my father before, but there is nothing I can do. Why don't my sister go to Prince Ning's Mansion and ask Miss Du to take a look? Maybe she can know something?"
These words made Wen Qinglan speechless for a moment. After struggling for a long time, she finally came to nothing and left.
As soon as she left, Lei Shuo immediately came out of the side room.
"She is clearly trying to frame her for trouble!"
Wen Qingzhu looked out the door with a smile: "Yes, it's a pity that I didn't take the bait, but she will be able to do something about it in two days."
"Qiniang's wedding banquet?" Lei Shuo vaguely understood what Wen Qingzhu meant.
Wen Qingzhu turned around and looked over: "Well, Qiniang finally agreed to marry Prince Ning, right?"
"Yes." Lei Shuo lowered his head.
She stood up, walked over, helped Lei Shuo sit down, and explained to her seriously: "Sister Shuo, don't worry, even if it's not Qiniang, it will be another girl from the Lei family. What Prince Ning and Concubine Li want is just Lei Shuo." It’s just the family’s name, in this case, Prince Ning will be very kind to Qiniang.”
Lei Shuo looked into Wen Qingzhu's eyes: "Mom said the same, will you go to the wedding banquet in three days?"
"Go, why don't you go? If you don't go, you won't be giving face to Prince Ning. Besides, Wen Qinglan wants to take advantage of Wen Shuquan for the last time."
Wen Qingzhu's eyes deepened, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling, but it didn't look like a smile.
Lei Shuo looked at it and felt a little uncomfortable.
