Chapter 733 Acquaintance with Zhao Xi
Meng Yunzheng nodded. "Yes, he is still alive."
After Meng Pei fell off the cliff, Gong Qiu had been searching for him ever since.
Perhaps learning from past mistakes, they hadn't actually seen Song Xin's body, which allowed her to escape unscathed and avoid further trouble.
So even though Meng Pei was injured and fell off the cliff, Gong Qiu was determined to find him alive or dead.
He had been secretly sending people to look for Meng Pei, and even fearing that Meng Pei might contact Meng Yunzheng if he wasn't dead, he had people keep an eye on Meng Yunzheng, telling him everything about who he met, who he spoke to, and what he did.
Two years passed, and Meng Pei seemed to have vanished without a trace. He neither returned to the Meng family nor ever saw Meng Yunzheng again.
Just as Gongqiu relaxed his guard slightly, Meng Pei sent a letter to Meng Yunzheng.
The messenger was Zhao Xi.
"Zhao Xi?" Shu Yu asked in surprise.
Meng Yunzheng laughed and said, "Yes, Zhao Xi grew up by his master's side since he was a child. As you have seen, his medical skills are superb, so you can imagine that his master is even more amazing. My father did not die after falling off the cliff, but he was seriously injured. The first person to see him was Zhao Xi."
Zhao Xi had just had a fight with his master and went out to play. When he saw Meng Pei, who was seriously injured and unconscious, he immediately gave him first aid.
Later, his master came and took Meng Pei back for treatment.
Unfortunately, Meng Pei was too badly injured and remained in a coma for two or three months before waking up.
But when he woke up, everything had changed; his wife and children were gone.
He had been trying to find an opportunity to see Meng Yunzheng, but Gong Qiu was still looking for him, and Meng Yunzheng was always surrounded by people, making it impossible for him to even squeeze in a meeting.
Therefore, it took him two whole years before he had Zhao Xi pass a note to Meng Yunzheng.
The father and son finally had the chance to meet again.
For the next few years, Meng Pei stayed with Zhao Xi's master.
Old Doctor Zhao always kept to himself and rarely went out, so Meng Pei had his company. Moreover, he often went into the mountains to collect herbs. Meng Pei was very skilled, especially after his wife was murdered. He harbored a deep hatred in his heart and became even more diligent, improving his martial arts skills considerably. So he followed Old Doctor Zhao to protect him.
Meng Yunzheng and he rarely met, after all, Gong Qiu had not given up looking for Meng Pei.
The last time I saw him was a year ago.
But such days won't be long coming.
Meng Yunzheng's expression turned cold, and he suddenly clenched his fists.
Shu Yu recalled the plot of the book: after the Shu family was exiled, about a year later, the current emperor fell seriously ill. Several princes began to vie for power more and more recklessly, and before long, the unknown fifth prince stood out and eventually ascended to the high position.
She finally understood why Meng Yunzheng wanted to cooperate with the Fifth Prince. In addition to avenging his mother and dealing with Gong Qiu, he also had to take down the concubine in the palace and her son.
Therefore, when the Fifth Prince wins, it will be the time for Meng Yunzheng to avenge his great grudge.
She took his hand. "It won't be long."
"Um."
"By the way, the concubine you mentioned, is she the Imperial Concubine, and her son is the Second Prince, right?"
Meng Yunzheng was taken aback and looked up in surprise. "You know?" He had never mentioned who the person in the palace was, but he didn't expect her to guess so accurately.
Shu Yu took a sip of tea; of course, she hadn't guessed it.
However, there happens to be a part of the story about this imperial concubine and the second prince.
