Bi Tao asked Yu Rong with some concern: "If the eldest master comes back, will he blame you?"

After all, Zhou Ziying is nominally Wei Xuanning's stepmother. She plotted against Zhou Ziying in this way. I wonder how Wei Xiang and Wei Xuanning would view her. Will they think that the grandmother is vicious?

"If he wants to blame someone, let him blame me. Anyway, it wasn't me who killed her, it was the Shen family." Yurong said coldly.

Since there was danger, why did he let her go? It was obvious that he was asking her to die, so why should she be so foolish as to obey him? If Wei Xuanning was really disappointed in her, then let him be disappointed, she couldn't do anything about it.

Anyway, she always walks alone in this world.

Bi Tao had never seen the grandmother act like this before. Whether she was dealing with the emperor or the empress, or even those thousands of miles away, she acted as if everything was in her hands.

But when it comes to the eldest son, although her face is cold, she can also be seen to be worried about gains and losses.

So, she comforted him, "If you want to blame this, it's the Prime Minister, not you. The eldest master is not unreasonable, so don't worry."

If Yu Rong was purely deceiving and taking advantage of Wei Xuan Ning, she would have a lot of words and tricks waiting for Wei Xuan Ning, but it just so happened that she didn't want to deceive Wei Xuan Ning anymore.

Once people fall in love, it seems like they can't turn it back on.

Although the Shen family is aggressive outside, surprisingly, there is a fence outside their residence, which is right at the junction of the outer city and the inner city, giving the impression of a scholarly family.

After Shen Shixing gave the order, a group of killers rushed towards Zhou Ziying's carriage. Zhou Ziying was originally sitting in the carriage, but when she heard the sound of the attack, she shouted for help.

Although the Wei family also sent guards to follow, their situation was completely different from the assassins specially hired by Shen Shixing who were ready to kill someone.

"Where is grandma? Where did she go?" Zhou Ziying asked Bai Que.

Bai Que shook her head: "I don't know, I——"

As he was speaking, Bai Que was stabbed.

Bleeding...

As soon as Wei Xiang came out of the court, his right eyelid twitched a few times. He pressed it with his hand and started talking and laughing with others again. After he left the palace, he heard the servants crying.

"Prime Minister, something bad has happened. The Madam was stabbed several times on the street and is dying. The old lady asks you to return home quickly."

Wei Rui's eyes widened immediately, and he said in disbelief, "Is it the Madam?"

Didn't he remember that Zhou was recovering from an illness? How could he be stabbed again?

The servant nodded and said, "To answer your question, the first lady and the grandmother went to the Shen family to celebrate the birthday today. Halfway through the journey, the store that the grandmother brought as a dowry reportedly had some problems, so the grandmother turned back. Unfortunately, the first lady met with an accident, and many of our people died. The first lady's dowry Bai Que has already gone."

Wei Xiang didn't care about anything else and ran back home in a hurry. At that time, Yurong was there taking care of him.

She had already taken off her fancy clothes and put on a simple blouse. When she saw Prime Minister Wei, she felt very guilty, "If I knew there were bad guys in the capital, I would have stayed by the Madam's side all the time."

Chen said quickly: "It's not your fault. Besides, it's a good thing you weren't there. If you were there, wouldn't one more person be injured?"

"Thank you for your understanding, auntie." After saying this, he lowered his head again and did not look up.

Wei Rui has always been cheerful and calm, but this time he is really angry. If you don't want to go, you can just not go. Why bother to tease others? This woman is too vengeful and too vicious. Will Xuan Ning be her opponent?

Looking at the times when she helped Xuan Ning, they were all very risky strategies. Although they were successful, they also showed her talent.

He admired this daughter-in-law very much, and she was also very talented, but she had a very bad temper. If one day Xuan Ning did something unpleasant, she might turn against him on the spot.

If someone is too smart and ruthless to be controlled, it would be better to find a way to get rid of her.

He even hated her a little.

Wei Xiang looked at Zhou Ziying who had lost too much blood on the bed, and felt a pang of fear in his heart. When she left this morning, Ziying had specifically told him to be well, but now she was lying in bed like this. If anything really happened to her, he would never let Yang go.

Yurong took a deep look at Zhou Ziying lying on the bed, her eyes were extremely cold.

"You go down first." Wei Rui pursed his lips and waved to them.

Yurong and Chen were quick to accept the advice.

As soon as she came out, Chen was shocked. "Oh, my sister-in-law is really unlucky. If I were to ask her, why would she bother to attend the banquet when she was sick?"

"Yes, that's what I said. When I came to pay my respects this morning, she said she wanted to go out. Otherwise, we would have all escaped." Yurong said without blushing.

Chen nodded: "Yurong, take care of yourself these few days and don't go there. I'm afraid the Prime Minister will be angry with you."

They clearly went together, but one was unharmed while the other was stabbed several times and might not survive. Chen was afraid that Yurong would be implicated.

Yurong said, "That's true, but I am the younger generation after all."

"That's right." After all, Chen was the aunt from the next room, so it was not appropriate for her to interfere too much.

She slept very well that night. With Du Zhi accompanying her, she was not afraid of anything. Besides, Wei Xuanning would be back soon, so she should go to the palace first tomorrow.

She stuffed a piece of paper under the jade Guanyin statue, and soon Aunt Zhuo, who was by the Queen's side, came that night and summoned her to enter the palace early the next morning.

"Duzhi, I will go to the palace with my mother tomorrow."

The Queen guessed that Yurong must have encountered some difficulties. She had always been very concerned about Yurong and felt that she owed her a lot over the years. How could the Queen not help Yurong when she asked for help?

Before Prime Minister Wei could make a decision the next day, Yurong brought her son into the palace.

Zhou Ziying's condition was very bad. His face was pale, he had lost too much blood, and his organs were damaged. The doctor said that even if he was saved, his life span would be limited.

She is the most innocent person in this disaster.

Zhou Ziying was originally a simple-minded little woman. He might have misunderstood something, but it did not cause any substantial harm to her. However, she knew that Shen Shixing was up to something and deliberately pushed Zhou Ziying out, which meant that she had murderous intentions.

…

"Yurong pays respect to the Queen."

The queen took it herself and said with a smile, "Get up quickly."

"Yes." Yurong nodded and said to the Queen, "After the Wei family knew that the prince was reprimanded, they pushed me out of the Shen family and wanted to kill me."

"I heard that they are getting bolder."

Yurong smiled bitterly: "Empress, you are our umbrella. If you make any move, not only me, but the entire Yang family will be in turmoil."

The queen couldn't help but say, "It's a pity that the prince——"

"Is your Majesty's talent inferior to that of the Emperor, or is it the Crown Prince? The Crown Prince is young, and the Second and Third Princes are even less capable. Yurong is timid, so may I ask why you don't take his place? Only then can Yurong feel at ease and rely on you!" Yurong looked at the Queen boldly.

She wanted to use this incident to encourage the Queen to have this intention.
