Chapter 455 Seriously Injured
After seeing the contents of the letter, Xie Jingyu looked at the envelope again. If it wasn't written on it that it was addressed to the Prince of Jingbei himself, he would have suspected that the letter was sent to the wrong person.
How come he doesn't know that there is someone he is looking for?
Chen Ping asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Xie Jingyu glanced at Chen Ping and asked, "Curious?"
"Go to the Plum Garden in the south of the city and take a look."
Chen Ping, “…”
It was nothing for him to take a look.
only--
"Is there a trap?"
Xie Jingyu said, "It's just a small matter, and it happened on the day of the Little New Year. I won't go there in person. No one would do such a stupid thing as plotting against a guard like you."
Chen Ping, “…”
No rebuttal.
Chen Ping quietly went to see who was in the Plum Garden in the south of the city.
If the prince had not said that the masked man had left the capital, he would have suspected that the man was there, but the prince's cousin had been away from the capital for two days.
Chen Ping went to the south of the city, and Xie Jingyu returned to Zhaolanxuan.
Chen Wan sat on the small couch, eating cakes while waiting for Xie Jingyu. Today was the Little New Year, and the meal would be half an hour earlier than usual. Why did he go to see the prince during meal time? What was so urgent? Couldn't he go after he finished eating?
Chen Wan didn't know yet that Xie Jingyu went to see the prince because she was curious about what was in the box.
Xie Jingyu always felt that Chen Wan was very curious and liked to eat melons everywhere. Facts have proved that being in a good mood is not a bad thing. He can no longer stop her from joining in the fun and eating melons, although he has never stopped her before.
As soon as Xie Jingyu entered the yard, the maid went to the small kitchen to bring food.
Shen Wan couldn't contain his curiosity and asked, "Is there something urgent you're looking for, father?"
Since it was about his father being cuckolded, even though Xie Jingyu trusted Shen Wan, he still held back.
The fewer people who know about this, the better.
But his grandfather wrote this matter in the family tree. Xie Jingyu really couldn't understand why his grandfather did this. He just kept it to himself and no one knew about it.
Xie Jingyu guessed that they were afraid that one day the truth would be revealed, so they wrote it in the family tree to show that the old prince was the one who arranged it, in order to protect the prince's reputation.
Outsiders don't know how much effort the prince made to avoid marrying Concubine Wen. Everyone only knows that the prince married General Wen's daughter as a concubine in order to repay General Wen for saving his life.
Since you have married her, you should respect her well instead of pushing Concubine Wen to someone else. This is ungrateful.
If this matter gets out, it will be bad for the prince's reputation.
The old prince wrote it himself and wrote it in the family tree, so he took full responsibility for all the mistakes. This was also the reason why the second and third masters copied the family tree early on.
The copy in the ancestral hall will only be seen by the prince's lineage. It would be best if it doesn't spread. If it is exposed one day, the family tree will be the evidence.
The maid brought in the food, and Xie Jingyu accompanied Shen Wan to eat.
The two of them ate and talked, and they were in a very happy mood.
Especially Xie Jingyu, who has been dissatisfied with the fact that his father was forced by his grandfather to marry Concubine Wen. He felt that as long as his father did not want to marry, no one could force him, and since he married, he did it willingly.
It turned out that his second brother was not his biological brother, but his cousin, who was adopted.
The image of his father in his mind was a little different.
Xie Jingyu picked up some food for Shen Wan, and Shen Wan looked at him, "Why do I feel like you are in a good mood?"
Xie Jingyu laughed, "When is your husband in a bad mood?"
...Indeed, this guy has been in a very good mood recently, so good that Chen Wan has forgotten how moody he was in his previous life, and the girl who caused Xie Jingyu's temperament to change drastically in his previous life has also disappeared.
She was about to give birth, but she never showed up. I guess she won't show up again.
Chen Wan said, "Life is only a few short decades, so you should be in a good mood every day."
Xie Jingyu said, "Just don't deliberately anger me. Ordinary people can't affect my husband's mood."
Shen Wan, “…”
Thinking about how he had made Xie Jingyu vomit blood twice, Shen Wan felt a little guilty.
Xie Jingyu was particularly tolerant of her. After all, if the emperor did not please him in the slightest, he would dare to let the emperor have a meal of vegetables as revenge, which made Xie Jingyu so angry that he vomited blood. She was really lucky that Xie Jingyu did not kill her.
Shen Wan picked up some food for Xie Jingyu, "My husband, eat more."
The word "husband" was called in a roundabout way, which made the gentleman feel itchy in his heart. Chen Wan didn't know that even if she wanted the stars and the moon in the sky, the gentleman would find a way to pick them down for her.
Today is the Little New Year, and there is a lantern festival on the street, but Chen Wan is so heavy that it is difficult for him to even walk, so going out to see the lanterns is impossible.
Shanhu and Yinchuan wanted to stay in the mansion to accompany her, but Chen Wan refused. "You don't have to stay with me. Today, Yinchuan will take Chun'er and Xia'er out of the mansion to see the lanterns. On the 28th, Shanhu will take Qiu'er and Dong'er."
Shanhu and Yinchuan were at the age when they loved to play, and Kyoto held only a few lantern festivals a year, so Chen Wan didn't keep them in the house to accompany her.
Knowing that Chen Wan likes lively occasions, Xie Jingyu said, “After the baby is born, ask the emperor to allow a lantern festival to be held outside the palace, and I will take you out to see the lanterns.”
Shen Wan asked, “Will the emperor agree?”
Just as Xie Jingyu was about to nod, Shen Wan said another word in a strong tone, "Yes!"
The emperor dotes on Xie Jingyu so much that he can easily issue imperial decrees to ask for him, let alone allow him to hold a lantern festival outside the palace. That can be done as long as he asks.
Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu, "Why does the emperor favor you so much?"
Xie Jingyu, “…”
When did the emperor start to favor him?
What kind of look does this woman have? How did she see that?
Xie Jingyu looked into Shen Wan's eyes, and Shen Wan said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xie Jingyu asked, "Are you sure there's nothing wrong with your eyes?"
Shen Wan hit his chest, “Isn’t this something that everyone can see?”
Xie Jingyu said, "If the emperor is to show some favor to my husband, it is also because he loves the whole family."
Chen Wan said, "Love the house and love the dog? Father?"
Xie Jingyu, “…”
Xie Jingyu pinched Shen Wan's nose, "Why don't you think about yourself?"
Chen Wan said, "Although the emperor was very good to me before, after I married you, the emperor treated me even better. I didn't do anything. Isn't this just taking advantage of you?"
There's no explanation for this.
Just consider it as a blessing from him?
It was still early, so Xie Jingyu accompanied Shen Wan to the garden for a walk, and then returned to Zhaolanxuan to play chess to pass the time.
As soon as I got to the side, there was a knock on the window.
The knocking was a bit urgent.
"Come in."
The window was pushed open, and Chen Ping jumped in. He walked forward and said, "Master, the second young master is seriously injured. He has a high fever and is talking nonsense..."
Xie Jingyu frowned, "Is he the one in Plum Garden in the south of the city?"
Chen Ping nodded repeatedly.
Xie Jingyu turned to Shen Wan and said, "I'll go take a look."
Shen Wan, “…???”
Second Young Master...
Shen Wan was a little dazed for a moment, "Is the second young master that Chen Ping mentioned the real Xie Jingze?"
It was because Wen Jingze wanted to scare her horse that Xie Jingyu wanted to destroy the Wen family. It was impossible for him to care so much about Wen Jingze.
But really, there's no need for Xie Jingze and Xie Jingyu to be so concerned, right?
Xie Jingyu himself didn’t know how Xie Jingze was seriously injured, so he couldn’t tell Shen Wan, “I’ll tell you when I come back.”
Chen Ping knew that Xie Jingyu would go to the south of the city in person, so he had someone wait outside the mansion with a horse.
The prince did not let the princess down. Xie Jingze himself suffered greatly from the collusion between Concubine Wen and the Wen family. He had no grudge against Xie Jingyu. In addition, he saved Shen Wan's cousin. It would be fine if he didn't know that Xie Jingze was seriously injured, but if he knew, he would definitely go to see him.
But the streets were so crowded that riding a horse was inconvenient. I chose a less crowded route, but it still took me a quarter of an hour longer than usual to get there.
Unlike the hustle and bustle on the street, the Meiyuan in the south of the city was exceptionally quiet. Only one lamp was lit, which was lit when Chen Ping left. The lamp oil was exhausted and the light was dim.
Xie Jingze was lying on the bed, his face abnormally red, unconscious.
Walking over, Xie Jingyu reached out and touched his forehead, which was very hot.
Chen Ping said, "The servants in the courtyard didn't know the Second Young Master was here. I asked, and they found out that the owner of this courtyard is a man wearing a mask..."
Chen Ping suspected that it was the man who knelt down and called the princess "Auntie", but he felt it was too much of a coincidence.
Xie Jingyu said, "It should be him."
Because Prince Li of Dongliang was seriously injured and unconscious, the man hurriedly left the capital.
Xie Jingze, who was recuperating in the courtyard, was forgotten for a moment. The letter must have been sent back by him halfway after he left Beijing.
Xie Jingze's fever has reached the point where he is talking nonsense. If he doesn't get treatment, he might not make it past tomorrow morning.
After waiting for a while, Zhao Yunkuo arrived.
Ever since he accepted the 10% share given to him by the Prince of Jingbei, he has been in endless trouble. One night, when he and the Prince of Yong were drinking and chatting happily, the Prince of Jingbei came to him for help.
However, as soon as he saw the face of the person lying on the bed, Young Master Zhao knew that the condition was not good and went forward to take his pulse.
Young Master Zhao asked, "How could he be so ill?"
He quickly took out the silver needle he carried with him and gave Xie Jingze acupuncture.
Then he wrote a prescription and asked Chen Ping to get the medicine quickly.
After Chen Ping left, Zhao Yunkuo asked Xie Jingyu, "Who is this person?"
"My second brother."
Zhao Yunkuo was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Is it your second brother who was forced to escape through a dog hole by the Wen Mansion?"
Xie Jingyu didn't say anything and agreed.
Zhao Yunkuo, “…”
What a broad mind this is.
Concubine Wen replaced her own son with the Prince of Jingbei and tortured him. He couldn't stand the torture and had to crawl through a dog hole to escape.
Prince Jingbei did not vent his anger on Concubine Wen for his second brother whom he had never met, but even wanted to save his life.
Zhao Yunkuo was impressed by his broad mind.
Chen Ping got the medicine and brought back the medicine stove to boil it. Zhao Yunkuo fed it to Xie Jingze.
Zhao Yunkuo's medical skills were inherited from Zhao Yuanzheng, and Xie Jingze was a martial artist with a solid foundation. Within half an hour after taking the medicine, the patient's fever began to subside and he woke up.
Xie Jingze woke up and saw Xie Jingyu standing beside the bed. He was a little dazed, "Am I dead?"
Xie Jingyu asked, "How did you get hurt like this?"
Xie Jingze struggled to get up, and Zhao Yunkuo helped him sit up. Xie Jingze said weakly, "That day I wanted to leave the city and find a place to calm down, but someone blocked my way. Without saying a word, he came up and tried to kill me. I was no match for four people with my two fists. If the masked man hadn't saved me, I would have died."
