Yu Zizhen cherishes her life very much. Although she has the system as a plug-in and the best guards accompanying her, she still arranges a team of escorts composed entirely of bodyguards in front and behind her, a large-scale caravan heading to Western Xinjiang that includes bodyguards, shopkeepers, and clerks.
Fang Huaiying didn't know that Yu Zizhen had made several backup plans for him. In order to protect this friend who was determined to conquer the world, he did not tell anyone about the content of his chat with Yu Zizhen.
The two of them rode at full speed all the way and hurried to the western border before the news spread in the capital.
With Fang Huaiying around, Yu Zizhen easily entered the Duke of Weiguo's mansion as a distinguished guest.
The moment Fang Huaiying entered the mansion, his heart was filled with joy and excitement. He jumped off his horse and immediately took Yu Zizhen to see his adoptive father, Duke Weiguo.
However, what he didn't expect was that he was stopped outside the courtyard of his father, Duke Weiguo, by the servant who had rushed over after hearing the news.
"Sir, please stay." The second steward of the Duke's Mansion, who had rushed over at full speed, stood in front of Fang Huaiying, panting. "The Duke is ill and needs to rest. It is not convenient for him to see guests. Please go back to where you came from."
Fang Huaiying frowned, "Get out of here! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
He is the prince of Weiguo. Even if this person doesn't know him, he should know one of his attendants or personal guards. After all, they were all once prominent subordinates of his father.
It is easy to guess his identity through them, but this person calls him "Young Master" here and tells him to "go back to where you came from", which clearly means he doesn't want him to meet the Duke of Wei.
Thinking of the chaos that had already begun to appear in the mansion before he left Western Xinjiang, Fang Huaiying couldn't help but worry more about his father's health.
As he strode forward, he reached out to push away the second steward who brought people to stop him, but the other party gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and reached out to grab Fang Huaiying.
Even after Fang Huaiying came to Beijing, he never slacked off in his continuous improvement of martial arts. The second steward's act of rebellion was naturally unsuccessful, but he was concerned about his father and did not dare to actually hurt anyone in front of his yard.
Furthermore, the second housekeeper's recklessness made it difficult for him not to worry about his father's health. He was afraid that if he also acted too aggressively and really got into a fight with these reckless people, his father's condition would be aggravated by the anger and rage.
Although one side has only mediocre skills, he attacks without any scruples. He would rather get hurt than not fight to the death, and he doesn't mind making a big fuss. However, the other side cannot move freely due to various concerns. He has martial arts skills but cannot use them at all.
Seeing that they seemed to be fighting for a while, Yu Zizhen took decisive action and gave a little bit of medicine powder to all the guys who were responsible for stopping Fang Huaiying for free.
Soon, Fang Huaiying and his attendants and guards discovered that those who tried to stop them fell down one after another.
Everyone: ???
Yu Zizhen brushed off the remaining powder on her hands and looked at Fang Huaiying. "Don't you want to see your father?"
Fang Huaiying suddenly came to his senses, "Yes. Thank you, Zizhen."
If it weren't for Yu Zizhen, he didn't know how long he would have to deal with these people.
After bowing and expressing his thanks, Fang Huaiying hurried into the courtyard of the Duke of Weiguo.
The two servants guarding the gate had actually seen the second butler suddenly rushing over with a group of people for some unknown purpose, but before they could walk over and find out the details of the situation, the second butler and the group of servants he brought with him all fell down limply.
The two were in shock when several faces appeared in their field of vision. Although they hadn't seen them for many years, they still felt familiar with them.
With them accompanying them, the two men almost immediately guessed who the grown-up and mature young man in the middle was.
One of them hurried to tell the bedridden Duke Weiguo the news, while the other, with mixed feelings, knelt down respectfully and saluted Fang Huaiying, "This humble servant greets the Crown Prince."
Although he didn't know why Fang Huaiying came back at this critical moment, and whether his appearance was good or bad for the Duke and Western Xinjiang, he would not show any disrespect or offense to the candidate for the crown prince selected by the Duke of Wei.
"Uncle Shun, you're embarrassing me." Fang Huaiying helped him up with his own hands. "How's my father? Is he really so ill that he can't see anyone?"
Meeting his worried eyes, Uncle Shun felt relieved. "My Lord, the Duke is indeed ill, but he is not ill enough to be unable to see anyone."
He was a servant and would not speak ill of his master's mother, brothers, and nephews, but he would not help those unscrupulous bastards to deceive Fang Huaiying, who truly cared about the Duke of Wei.
Fang Huaiying felt a little relieved. "What about my sister? Is she home?"
Uncle Shun nodded, "The eldest lady was called to the backyard by the old lady about half an hour ago."
Fang Huaiying frowned. His sister was already married, and the only reason she was back was obviously because his father was ill, and she had come back to take care of him. Under such circumstances, his nominal grandmother actually called her over for half an hour?
He didn't know the inside story, and it was hard to guess whether the old man was up to something again or really had something important to talk to his sister about. Yu Sheng could only avoid the topic for the time being.
"I greet the Crown Prince." The attendant who had gone to deliver the news to the Duke of Wei came trotting over. After a hasty salute to Fang Huaiying, he extended his hand and motioned Fang Huaiying to follow him. "Crown Prince, the Duke invites you in."
Fang Huaiying was both excited and nervous, but of course, he was mostly happy. After so many years, he could finally sit at his father's knees again, listen to his teachings, and fulfill his filial duty.
Fang Huaiying's mind and eyes were filled with the door in front of him, and he even forgot that he was with Yu Zizhen. When he heard that Duke Weiguo wanted to see him, he quickened his pace and left with the attendant without looking back.
Yu Zizhen touched his forehead but did not warn him.
Uncle Shun noticed something was wrong and cast a questioning look at Fang Huaiying's attendants and guards.
Yu Zizhen didn't let the hesitant guards and attendants hesitate for too long. She took the initiative to introduce herself, "I am a friend of the prince, and also a doctor with good medical skills."
Uncle Shun: ???
Uncle Shun subconsciously raised his eyes and looked at the young man who seemed to be boasting.
Fang Huaiying's attendants and guards had complicated expressions. Because of Fang Huaiying, they had frequent contact with Yu Zizhen and knew that she was being modest when she said that she had "good medical skills". But the question was, wouldn't it be better for her to leave it to others to say?
Isn't this Zhenbei Prince ashamed of praising himself...
