"right!"
"I remember now, it must be the Su family!"
“Last month, at my son’s 100-day celebration, that little Su baby held my son. Maybe it was because of that hug that my son got this disease!”
Lord Wang's ears were ringing from the noise.
He was extremely annoyed and snapped, his face hardening, "Enough! What's the point of saying all this now? Does knowing where the disease came from really cure our son? Can you please stop arguing?"
"I'm just worried," Madam Wang said, her tears falling even harder, her face pale. "Then what do you think we can do now?"
"Should we go to the Imperial Hospital to fetch the imperial physicians? But even they are helpless! It's not like no other prince has ever had measles before, and they all suffered from it even after months of treatment."
"Our son's life is so hard. He's only four months old, and he's already... Waaah..."
The more Madam Wang thought about it, the more heartbroken she became; her heart ached as if it were being stabbed with a knife.
In this prison-like inner quarters, all she could rely on was her son. After all, daughters were destined to marry out, and if her son were gone, she would surely be lonely and helpless for the rest of her life!
How could her son, whom she had given birth to with such difficulty and almost lost her life, just be...?
Sudden!
The sound of a guard kneeling and kowtowing rang out: "Master, Zhou Cheng from the General's Mansion has arrived. He is requesting an audience at the side gate, saying he has something important to discuss with you."
Zhou, Cheng?
Upon hearing these two words, Lord Wang suddenly raised his head. He instinctively wanted to say, "Please come in immediately," but he swallowed the words back down.
Because he remembered the rumors that had recently caused a great stir in the city.
Now, General Zhou has become the target of everyone's anger in the imperial court; all the ministers want to bring him down...
The worst part is that His Majesty seems to share this idea...
Meeting with Zhou Cheng at such a critical moment could have some impact on the Wang family!
Seeing that Lord Wang was frowning and deep in thought, and did not reply immediately, the guard mustered up his courage and said, "Master, Young Master Zhou also said that there is no need to come into the mansion, and that we can meet in a secluded place outside."
this.......
Lord Wang hesitated upon hearing this.
Zhou Cheng's arrival at this moment must truly be for something important.
The Zhou family and the Wang family have always had a close relationship, and their ancestors had a bond that transcended life and death. If I were to turn Zhou Cheng away, what would General Zhou think of me in the future?
They've crossed the river and then discarded the bridge!
Run if you encounter trouble!
"In that case, I will..." Lord Wang pondered for a moment with great seriousness, then looked up as if to agree.
But the next second, Madam Wang, who jumped up, interrupted him: "No, husband, you absolutely must not see Zhou Cheng at this time!"
"The court is impeaching General Zhou for colluding with the Xiongnu in a rebellion. His Majesty has summoned General Zhou back to the capital many times to be interrogated and to clear his name, but what about him? There has been no news of him returning to the capital."
"Those rumors must be true. General Zhou is probably really planning a rebellion!"
"Besides, what important business could Zhou Cheng have in mind when he comes to our residence? He probably just wants you to speak on his behalf in court, or he wants us to help the Zhou family. This is a mess, and the Wang family can't get involved!"
"No one knows what His Majesty is thinking right now. If it's all just hearsay, then everything will be fine. But what if it's true? Husband, you must think of our royal family and our son!"
"Once they get involved, the Wang family's future will be over..."
Madam Wang pleaded earnestly, her eyes filled with both entreaty and determination.
These words caused Lord Wang to abruptly stop in his tracks.
