Chapter 2 Specializes in tricking young brother Xiao Zhengtai
She quickly sat up straight, lowered her brows and greeted the others: "Father, brothers, Zhaojun greets everyone."
The others had never seen their sister, who always looked up to her and held her head high, being so honest. They were very surprised and quickly sent away the bystanders and stepped forward to support her.
"Get up and talk slowly, don't be anxious..."
He Zhaojun shook off her brother's hand and rubbed her forehead. She was still running a high fever, and she had already seen blackness when she hurried over.
But she still knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Father, I have something of life and death to tell you. If you hear anything later, please trust me."
Seeing the hesitation on He Yong's face, He Zhaojun knocked her head even louder. After a few "dong dong dong" sounds, her forehead was already swollen and it seemed that she was about to bleed profusely.
He Yong had never seen his beloved daughter like this. Still in shock, he quickly asked her to sit down and promised to believe everything.
He Zhaojun touched her red, swollen, and painful forehead, bared her teeth, and dropped a bombshell: "Father, Prince Yong is going to rebel."
Her voice was not loud, but it sounded like thunder to the ears of the generals.
"Little sister, please stop talking nonsense!"
"This is a capital crime!"
"Is my little sister delirious due to the fever? Father, we should ask the palace physician Sun to come and take a look."
The brothers were indeed concerned and worried about her, but He Zhaojun ignored them and just stared at He Yong's eyes anxiously.
Unexpectedly, He Yong placed his large hand on her forehead, his expression a relief. "I was wondering why you were talking nonsense. Turns out you're delirious! Have you forgotten? My good son-in-law, Prince Xiao, is Prince Yong's biological son."
He Zhaojun was about to speak when she was shocked. Yes, she had no evidence that Prince Yong was plotting treason, so it was understandable that her father and brother did not believe her.
She hesitated for a long time, and finally squeezed out two tears: "Father, it was Zhaojun who lost her composure. She had a high fever and kept having nightmares. She couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams, and she scared you."
When the grown men heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief and quickly called the maids and servants to send He Zhaojun back to rest.
He Zhaojun hurriedly took her leave, feeling anxious, like an ant on hot pan.
A maidservant came over and asked, "Young lady? The trousseau is ready. Would you like to review the gift list?"
He Zhaojun was upset and waved her hands repeatedly: "How can I care about the dowry...wait." She stood up suddenly, her eyes fixed on the huge boxes piled up in the room.
She casually opened the lid of the box and was almost blinded by the pearls, jade, gold and silver inside. The He family was indeed a family of military generals. The grace of heaven was great, and the rewards they received were countless.
As the youngest woman in the family, most of these jewelry and gold and silver items naturally belonged to her.
He Zhaojun bit her lip and was thinking about how to hide all the weapons in her dowry and select more soldiers to go to Fengyi together. Then she saw a little boy at the door, no more than five or six years old, looking at her secretly.
He Zhaojun blurted out: "Brother..."
This is the youngest son of the He family, He Yuan.
"Sister, are you not feeling well? Why do you look so bad?!" the child asked in a baby voice, pulling tightly at Fu's mother's sleeve, looking very nervous.
He Zhaojun squatted down and pinched his cheek: "My dear brother, I want to ask you, do you know where my brother and father's treasures are hidden in the mansion?"
Seeing her sweet smile, He Yuan scratched his head and pointed to a corner of the backyard: "I'll take you there, but you can't tell anyone else."
