Secondly, Huang Rong is enjoying a good life after accepting her fate. Her life now is much better than when she was Mrs. Guo.

The moment Huang Rong asked Guo Fu to come back, she had actually made a decision for herself, a decision with no way out.

In the original space, Guo Fu's importance to Huang Rong is no less than that of Guo Jing, or even greater.

"Let's go!"

As the driver drove the carriage towards the courtyard on Zhuque Street, Huang Rong looked at Li Xiuzhu and asked, "Your Highness, are you so sure that I can come back?"

Li Xiuzhu nodded and said, "I'm not sure. I believe you came back because I trust you, and secondly, you asked Guo Fu to come back first."

"Based on my understanding of you, I will not abandon Guo Fu even if you leave me."

Huang Rong did not refute it, as it was actually the case.

If she had to choose between the two, she would definitely choose her daughter Guo Fu.

Because it was too late, Li Xiuzhu rested in the courtyard, allowing Huang Rong to sleep for a whole day again.

After two days, he kept moving around in various hideouts, except for the palace.

After all, the palace is sensitive, so it is the place Li Xiuzhu goes to the least. His initial plan is to go there once a week.

He would visit Concubine Hui during the day, then go to accompany the Queen and others. At night, he would accompany the Queen Mother, and then go to Concubine Li at midnight.

Until suddenly news came from the palace.

"Are you saying that Wu Anjun was assassinated?"

Looking at Ruan Wenjun and Xiao Rongyu in front of him, Li Xiuzhu frowned.

He never imagined that Wu'an Jun, who was guarding the excavation of the Grand Canal, would also be assassinated.

The worst thing was that Wu Anjun’s subordinates did not come to report the news, but Wu Anjun was seriously injured.

When the message came, Bai Zhan hadn't woken up yet, and it was unknown whether he was dead or not.

You should know that Wu'an Jun himself also has first-class strength. Although he is not as good as Huang Rong and Bi Xiuxin, he is not much worse than Nalan Mingyue.

"Okay, I understand. After several court meetings, you probably understand the general approach. Next, I may have to go to the south in person, and I may be gone for several months."

"Ah? So long?"

"So long?"

The two women who couldn't help but say such words subconsciously looked at each other. With this glance, Xiao Rongyu confirmed something.

Qianqian frowned and said, "Master, I will go with you."

Li Xiuzhu shook his head.

"You can't leave. Although there is no sign of this now, what if the other party is trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

"Only if you stay here can the master feel at ease."

Since they were all family, Xiao Rongyu no longer cared about Ruan Wenjun, the "mother-in-law", and asked, "Can the prince catch up with the birth of our child?"

Li Xiuzhu nodded affirmatively.

"The excavation of this section will take no more than a month, and including the suppression, it will not take more than 40 days."

"I will come back to see you after I finish my busy schedule. As for the follow-up, it depends on the health and decision of my father-in-law, Prime Minister Fu."

"Okay, nothing much, I need to go discuss this with my father-in-law first."

Li Xiuzhu stood up and was about to leave. Ruan Wenjun was silent for a moment and then asked, "Will Xiuzhu come over tonight?"

Li Xiuzhu paused. It was most difficult to enjoy the favor of a beautiful woman. Having too many women was also a hassle.

It looks like I will have to leave late tomorrow. Fortunately, my family has fed me diligently these days and I haven't missed anything. I can just say goodbye early tomorrow morning.

"Come at night."

Ruan Wenjun and Xiao Rongyu both smiled immediately.

Xiao Rongyu and Hai Bie could only taste a little, and leave the rest to others.

After leaving the palace, Li Xiuzhu went all the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Fu Wenhan was taking a walk in the back garden, so he had to go to the backyard.

When they saw Li Xiuzhu, Fu Wenhan and Chen were both stunned. It had been a long time since they saw Li Xiuzhu, the son-in-law.

Fu Wenhan was the first to realize that something was wrong and said, "Xiuzhu, come and sit down."

As he spoke, Fu Wenhan, with the help of Chen, sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion.

Because it is summer, there are no cushions on the stone benches.

Fu Wenhan looked at Chen, and Chen understood immediately.

"I'll go get you some desserts, you guys chat first."

Li Xiuzhu glanced at Chen and said nothing.

He had no other intention, he just wanted to see Chen's face. You know, he knew about Chen's condition.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Fu Wenhan's eyes moved slightly, then disappeared.

"Is father-in-law feeling better?"

"Yeah, much better. I can walk for a while now."

Fu Wenhan didn't exchange pleasantries with Li Xiuzhu, and went straight to the point, asking, "What happened?"

Li Xiuzhu originally wanted to ask about Chen's condition, but after hearing this, he got straight to the point and said, "Wu Anjun was assassinated."

"What?"

This time Fu Wenhan was also surprised. He really didn't expect this answer. He even thought that there was a problem at the border and with the Quanrong.

However, he didn't expect that the problem occurred in the place where he thought it was least likely to go wrong.

"What happened? Do you know who did it?"

Li Xiuzhu replied: "We don't know who did it yet, but they are all first-rate martial arts masters."

"The other party executed the assassination quickly, completing it within a cup of tea and escaping, without even leaving a single person behind."

Fu Wenhan's face darkened when he heard this. After a moment of silence, he said, "It seems that we understand other people's snacks."

"How is Wu Anjun?"

Li Xiuzhu said, "When the news came, Wu Anjun was still in a coma. Although he is not dead, he is not far from death."

"And according to the report, there were six of them in total, coming in three groups."

"But we only saw him, and he was protected by his colleagues."

Fu Wenhan was silent. He wanted to take over Wu Anjun's army and keep the Grand Canal running, but with so many experts, what could he do? Fu Wenhan suddenly thought of Li Xiuzhu's heroic scene when he was facing assassination. He looked at Li Xiuzhu and said, "Xiuzhu, I want to ask you for a favor."

"My father-in-law wants me to guard the Grand Canal?"

Fu Wenhan secretly admired Li Xiuzhu's intelligence.

"Yes, I wonder if you are willing?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "I guessed it before I came here. I'll make some arrangements later and we'll leave tomorrow."

"Well, you really didn't disappoint me... You can go without worry. I will be there in the court and will not cause any chaos."

Li Xiuzhu was startled when he heard this, looked at Fu Wenhan's body, and asked, "Can my father-in-law go to court?"

"Well, it's not a big problem."

Li Xiuzhu nodded and did not stop them. He asked them to give him a seat when the time came. It would only take less than two hours, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

"Then I, your son-in-law, will take my leave first. I also have to say goodbye to Yuehua and the others."

"Okay, you go back first, and let Yunshuang and the others come back to live with us later. Although your mother-in-law didn't say anything, I can see that she misses those two little ones."
