"Xia Ying, go to the Second Courtyard and see who went there yesterday, and who else went to Yuehu Lake." The Second Courtyard is the house where the second branch of the Shen family lives.
Before she fell into the lake yesterday, she was with Chen Nian, the youngest daughter of the second wife. She was accidentally bumped by her and fell into the water after stepping on the broken bridge plank.
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Xia Ying and Dong Shuang were both her maids who came with her as a dowry. Xia Ying had been going around the various courtyards for her, Dong Shuang was in charge of the affairs within the courtyard, and the other two were sent out by her.
"Dongshuang, go get my black box."
Dongshuang quickly took out a locked black box from the cabinet.
Yang Zhao opened the lock and took out a jade pendant from the box. It was a jade pendant with a dragon and phoenix carved with black silk patterns. The dragon and phoenix seemed to come alive instantly after he held it. It was very special.
Yang Zhao gently rubbed the jade pendant with his fingertips, a hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes, but he finally handed it to Dong Shuang: "Dong Shuang, take this jade pendant to the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion and tell them... I want to see their Pavilion Master."
"Madam, this jade pendant is..." Dong Shuang was slightly surprised.
This was one of the few relics her mother left her. In her previous life, until her death, she had never thought of using this jade pendant, but now...
"Go ahead, but be careful not to let anyone follow you. After you go to the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, go to Old Chen's house in East and West Lane to buy some pastries."
Dong Shuang heard the last part about the cream puff and immediately stopped talking: "Okay, then you drink the medicine first, and I will go right after you finish it."
Yang Zhao glanced at the medicine bowl and shook his head: "Pour it out. I'll change the prescription and drink it later."
If the Shen family was really responsible for her falling into the water, then there must be something fishy about her infertility, and she couldn't trust this prescription.
In her previous life, she had acquired a chronic illness due to falling into water. From then on, she would suffer pain for half a month every month during her menstrual period. Later, she became very afraid of cold. When winter came, she wanted to spend the day hugging the stove. She was too cold to sleep all night long.
Until I met that miracle doctor.
She still remembered the cold-repelling prescription prescribed by the miraculous doctor in her previous life...
When Yang Zhao woke up again, it was already late at night. She was awakened by a cool breeze. The windows in the house had been tightly closed, so there was no way the cold wind could come in, unless...
"who?"
She has a hoarse voice.
The throat is dry and hot.
Yang Zhao knew that she had a high fever again. In her previous life, she had had a high fever for several days. When her fever finally subsided, all the male members of the Shen family had been sent back.
Later she found out that her father and brother had used their military merits to exchange for the early return of the men of the Shen family, so that she wouldn't have to stay in the Shen family so hard, and wanted her to be able to be happy with her beloved.
But her father and brother didn't know that she had never liked Chen Li.
The reason she married into the Shen family, apart from because of her stepmother, was mostly because of her father and brother. The Yang family's military prestige was too high, and they controlled a large number of troops. The empress and the imperial concubine had been eyeing her marriage for a long time. She didn't want her father and brother to be forced to stand on the side of a faction because of her. If that happened, the emperor would only be more wary and would not tolerate the Yang family.
Therefore, when the male members of the Shen family were exiled and Mrs. Shen brought the female members of the family to the Yang family with a marriage certificate, she agreed to it according to her stepmother's wishes and went to the city gate in person to meet Shen Li.
This is why Shen Li made his vow.
She entered the Shen family holding a rooster. This matter spread throughout the capital at that time. Everyone said that Yang Zhao loved Shen Li terribly. In addition, she had been supporting the entire Shen family in the past six years. Others thought that she was waiting for Shen Li to come back.
But only she herself knows that she never does it for others!!
"Don't be afraid, madam." A low voice sounded.
Afterwards, Yang Zhao saw a tall figure in a black brocade robe appear outside the curtain.
"I am the head of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, Mo Shiqi."
The man was wearing a mask, and his black eyes beneath the mask were deep and cold, as if containing endless wisdom and decisiveness. He exuded an air of nobility and inviolable majesty.
You can tell at first glance that he is a superior.
Although Yang Zhao had cooperated with the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion many times in his previous life, he had never seen the real Pavilion Master of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion.
Yang Zhao sat up from the bed, looked at the masked man through the curtains, and asked, "Master, have you seen the jade pendant?"
"Um!"
"My mother once said that the owner of the jade pendant owed her a life. So when I need it in the future, you can take the jade pendant to the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion and ask the Pavilion Master to do three things."
"yes."
Men seem to be very frugal with words.
Yang Zhao didn't beat around the bush and said in a hoarse voice, "First of all, I want all the male members of the Shen family who are about to return to the capital to be half-crippled. As for Shen Li, I want to cripple both of his legs."
Didn't he come back with a pair of broken legs in his previous life? Whether it was true or not, this time she would make it real.
The man was stunned when he heard this.
After a while, I heard his cold voice with a hint of hesitation asking: "Waste Chenli's legs?"
Apparently, the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion Master, like everyone else, thought that she was deeply in love with Shen Li, so when she heard that she wanted to cripple Shen Li's legs, she wondered if she had heard it wrong.
"That's right, I want to make him completely disabled."
"However, under this premise, I hope that the Yang family soldiers who escorted them back will not be implicated."
The man looked at the bed curtains. Due to the candlelight, he could not see clearly what was going on inside the curtains. He only vaguely saw that the woman inside the curtains was sitting. Her voice was hoarse, her breathing was heavy, but her tone was surprisingly cold and gentle.
But what was said was very surprising.
but.
Shen Li? He really wasn't worthy of her.
It’s better to be disabled.
The man's dark eyes narrowed slightly beneath the mask, his voice unable to tell whether he was happy or angry. "Okay, I promise you."
