Chapter 46 One was slashed three times, the other was unharmed.
Yu Zhiyi placed her hand on Yao's back, intending to transfer some spiritual energy to her, when she saw Yao take a few deep breaths and pull through.
Yu Zhiyi lowered her eyes as she put her hand down.
As expected of the mistress of the Prime Minister's residence, her character is truly admirable.
"Yi'er, you stay here and take care of Heng'er. I'll go check on him."
Yu Zhiyi subtly pursed her lips: "I'd better go with my mother. There are so many servants guarding this place, nothing will happen."
It is only natural for younger generations to care for their elders, and since Yao was concerned about her husband, she did not object.
Before long, the two arrived at Yimei Garden.
Prime Minister Du was calmly drinking his tea, and neither his appearance nor his expression showed any sign that he had been attacked.
"Master, what happened? Where are you injured?"
Yao quickened her pace and walked to Prime Minister Du's side to examine him for a while.
Prime Minister Du chuckled and stopped her, reassuring her, "I'm fine, I'm fine, you don't need to worry, I'm not injured."
He held out his hand, revealing the jade pendant, and said with a smile, "Thanks to Yi'er, this protective jade pendant protected me, and I was not injured."
Madam Yao breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's good that you're not injured, it's good that you're not injured!"
While relaxing, she thought of her foolish son again.
Knowing full well that Yi'er was truly capable, he still listened to that vile woman and threw away the amulet.
Otherwise, how could he have gotten injured?
When Prime Minister Du returned to his residence, the steward learned of his assassination attempt but dared not reveal that Du Ziheng had been injured.
But Prime Minister Du had excellent eyesight and inadvertently noticed the bloodstains on Madam Yao's sleeve: "Madam is injured?"
Only then did Yao notice the bloodstains on her cuff. She didn't hide it and told her about Du Ziheng's injury.
After saying that, she quickly patted Prime Minister Du's chest: "Master, please don't be angry. Heng'er is injured. Let's wait until he's fully healed before we talk about it..."
It's impossible for Prime Minister Du not to be angry!
"That idiot! Others may not know Yi'er's abilities, but does he not know them either? He just throws away things that could protect him and save his life. All those years of studying have been for nothing!"
"He has to cut ties with that woman!"
He used to turn a blind eye to his son's affair with that woman, but now that the woman has hurt his son, he will no longer tolerate their misbehavior.
As the saying goes, marrying a wife who is not virtuous will ruin three generations. He originally thought that if his son really liked her, he could take her into his household as a concubine after he passed the imperial examination. After all, he intended to have his son sit in the position of the principal wife, and a mere woman could not cause much trouble.
In retrospect, he was completely wrong!
Yu Zhiyi didn't respond to that, but found it strange: "How could Father and Young Master be assassinated at the same time? Is there some kind of conspiracy?"
Perhaps sensing that she was trying to change the subject, Prime Minister Du didn't dwell on the previous question.
He sighed: "This matter is somewhat complicated, involving a struggle for the throne."
He then solemnly instructed them: "If you ever need to leave the manor in the future, be sure to bring enough people with you, and never go out alone."
Yao did not ask any further questions and nodded in agreement.
Although Yu Zhiyi had her doubts, seeing that Prime Minister Du did not want to elaborate, she did not say anything more.
Even without being told, she could guess.
At this time in her previous life, she had already left the capital and was unaware that Prime Minister Du and Du Ziheng were injured at the same time.
However, given its connection to the imperial carriage, a symbol of royal power, it's not hard to guess.
Despite his immense power and influence, Prime Minister Du had few children, with only one son, Du Ziheng.
Whether it's Prime Minister Du himself or his only son Du Ziheng who gets into trouble, the Prime Minister's family line will suffer a great blow.
At that time, political enemies and their supporters will be able to seize the position of prime minister.
In her previous life, when she died, a new emperor had already ascended the throne.
The one who ascended the throne was Prince Ning, the elder brother of Prince Xiaoyao.
The elder brother of the carefree king...
Yu Zhiyi scratched her palm.
In her past life, this person had added a lot of drama to Yu Jiaojiao's misfortunes, and she was happy to watch the show.
But in this life, it's her turn...
The three cuts on Du Ziheng's body were not severe and were not fatal, so although they looked dangerous, he was actually fine. He just needed to rest in bed for a few days and replenish his blood.
Nevertheless, once the news of the Prime Minister's only son's injury was spread, people flocked to visit him, and gifts piled up in the Prime Minister's storeroom.
Holding a gift list in her hands, Yu Zhiyi felt a headache coming on as she looked at the long list of names and gifts.
She likes money and precious things.
It's a pity these things weren't for her.
She also had to write down every gift and the name of the person who gave it, so that she could reciprocate when the other party asked for a favor in the future.
It's really annoying.
Being a housewife may seem glamorous, but in reality, it involves a lot of trivial matters.
Just as I was about to put down the gift list, a series of light footsteps approached from afar.
Du Ziheng's handsome face was pale, and his once dashing figure now appeared somewhat sickly.
He looked at Yu Zhiyi and hesitated before speaking, "Zhiyi, could you...?"
"No." Yu Zhiyi didn't want to listen to his nonsense and simply refused.
Du Ziheng: "...At least you should listen to what I have to say."
"Didn't you want me to help persuade my father and mother to agree to bring Miss You back to the manor?"
Du Ziheng was speechless.
Having a wife who can see through everything is terrifying.
Yu Zhiyi looked up and could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his face: "My skills are not something I can use casually. At the very least, I have to use my brain to analyze and deduce. I won't casually pry into someone's thoughts unless it's necessary."
"It's so easy to see through your thoughts. After all, Young Master Du is too proud. The only things that could make you lower your head and beg for mercy, besides your father and mother, are Miss You's affairs."
Du Ziheng had nothing to say.
That's definitely true.
She understands him very well.
Fortunately, Yu Zhiyi's attention was drawn to the account book on the table, and she didn't see what he was thinking. She said casually, "Father and Mother are very kind people. The fact that Father was so angry that he said such harsh words shows that he was really angry this time."
"I advise you to be more cautious lately, young master. At least until the imperial examination, don't do anything that would anger your father and mother, otherwise..."
She closed the ledger, her tone light and cheerful, yet every word pierced the heart: "Don't forget, Father is not just a father, but also the Prime Minister of a nation."
It's too easy for a prime minister to eliminate someone without anyone noticing.
Du Ziheng was startled.
He never imagined that his father would kill the woman he loved.
But on second thought, it's not impossible.
Yu Zhiyi thought he had listened to her and was preparing to return to Linfeng Pavilion to rest.
"I'll give you all of the gifts that belong to me."
Yu Zhiyi paused in her steps.
This condition is quite tempting.
