By this time, the General's Mansion had already received news of Wei Jingzhuo's impending arrival, and General Zhao Xian, lying on the couch, finally regained some vitality in his pale face.
Upon seeing the letter handed to him by a servant, he propped himself up and sat up. "Cough... Is what you said true? Jinzhi... is coming?"
Everyone in the General's Mansion knows that the person the General cares about most is His Highness the Crown Prince. Although His Highness has been deposed, in their General's Mansion, the Crown Prince is still the Crown Prince.
The servant replied with a smile, "Yes, they have already set off and will probably arrive tomorrow. Qingfeng also said that His Highness's health is much better now."
After escorting Su Yuze to Jiangnan and making arrangements for him, Lin Qingfeng set off to return.
However, on his way back, he received a letter from his master and went directly to the General's Mansion.
General Zhao Xian took the letter and quickly read through the letter written by Wei Jingzhuo with his shrewd eyes.
He asked Lin Qingfeng with surprise, "Jinzhi has found someone from a family of renowned doctors?"
Only someone from a family of renowned physicians could possibly cure the poison in Wei Jingzhuo's body, so he didn't think too much about it and assumed that the poison in Wei Jingzhuo's body must have been cured by someone from a family of renowned physicians.
For many years, he sent countless people to Southern Chu to search for the family of divine healers, but there was still no news.
Outsiders only know that the eldest daughter of the family of divine physicians will marry into the royal family of Southern Chu, but they have never been involved in worldly affairs, let alone know where the family of divine physicians lives.
Only when the legitimate daughter of a family of renowned physicians is getting married will someone travel to the capital to prepare for the wedding.
Upon learning that Wei Jingzhuo had been saved by a family of renowned physicians, he laughed heartily.
"Hahaha! Cough! Cough!"
"General!"
Zhao Xian waved his hand, "It's nothing, I'm just happy!"
After so many years, Jinzhi is finally free from the torment of the poison.
Lin Qingfeng, who was standing to the side, knew that he had misunderstood, but His Highness had instructed him to keep it a secret for the time being and not to reveal any information about Miss Su.
So he didn't say anything, just kept his head down and remained silent.
Zhao Xian was in a great mood and ordered his servants, "Go, clean up the best courtyard in the mansion, and bring out the peach blossom wine that I've been hiding for thirty years."
That peach blossom wine was buried together under a peach tree before their daughter married into the palace.
He had originally planned to take it out when Jinzhi got married, but now he saw in the letter that Jinzhi had mentioned that he was already married.
It's a pity he didn't have the chance to be involved in his only grandson's marriage.
"Grandfather, is it true? Brother Jin is really coming?" A girl dressed in a light green dress slipped in like a gust of wind and asked excitedly after hearing the servant's words.
“How could it be false?” Zhao Xian stroked his beard, coughed twice, and then whispered a reminder to the girl, “You must never tell anyone about this. The Emperor’s spies are still monitoring the mansion. You must not make a fuss.”
Ever since the Crown Prince was deposed, the Emperor has been keeping a close eye on the General's Mansion. Whenever a stranger visits, the news will reach the Emperor's ears immediately.
Thinking that Jinzhi was coming tomorrow, he still didn't know what excuse to use to let her in.
Lin Qingfeng said at the opportune moment, "His Highness instructed that he would bring a doctor to examine the general."
Zhao Xian understood, then nodded, "That's very good."
His grandson is really reliable; he has everything arranged perfectly.
They've become increasingly resourceful.
He is now quite old and suffers from chronic illnesses. Recently, the household has been seeking out renowned doctors to treat him.
If Jinzhi had brought a doctor with her, it certainly wouldn't have attracted the attention of others.
He certainly wasn't worried about Wei Jingzhuo being discovered.
That person is meticulous and thorough in everything he does, so he has no worries.
The girl clutched her handkerchief and muttered, "I wonder how long Brother Jin will stay this time."
Zhao Xian looked at his only granddaughter and sighed inwardly. He knew perfectly well what she was thinking.
Her son had already died in battle, and her wife had died in childbirth. Xi Yue had grown up with him in the Northwest since she was a child, and all she had ever seen were these rough and tough soldiers.
Jinzhi was already incredibly beautiful and had an unparalleled appearance; which young lady wouldn't admire her?
Since Jinzhi secretly came to the Northwest military camp for training when he was thirteen, Xiyue's heart has also fallen for Jinzhi.
But he knew that Jinzhi only felt brotherly affection for her.
Seeing Zhao Xiyue's sad eyes, he sighed deeply, "Xiyue, your grandfather will definitely find you a better marriage, someone who will be even more beautiful than Jinzhi."
"No way," Zhao Xiyue said defiantly. "No one in this world can compare to Brother Jin. I don't want anyone but Brother Jin!"
Having lost her parents at a young age, Zhao Xiyue is extremely insecure, so when she heard Zhao Xian want to find her another husband, she refused outright.
When she was little, she was timid, and her grandfather was always out fighting. Once, those bad guys almost kidnapped her, but it was her brother Jin who rescued her.
From then on, she became extremely dependent on Brother Jin. Although Brother Jin was aloof, she still loved to cling to him.
As she grew older, she watched her best friends get engaged one by one, and then she begged her grandfather to let her brother Jin marry her.
At that time, her grandfather told her that he couldn't make decisions about Jin's marriage and that she shouldn't think about it. She was heartbroken for a long time because of this.
Now that she has the opportunity, she doesn't understand why her grandfather would object.
"Xiyue, stop thinking about your brother Jin. It wasn't possible before, and it's even less possible now," Zhao Xian said helplessly.
In the past, the Crown Prince's marriage was none of his maternal grandfather's business, but now that Jinzhi has been deposed, the situation he will face in the future is even more dangerous.
Xi Yue was pampered by him as she grew up, and he didn't want her to live a life full of dangers with Jin Zhi.
Zhao Xiyue refused. Her eyes reddened, and she asked loudly, "Why can't I? I knew before that marrying Brother Jin was hopeless, but now that Brother Jin has been crippled, why can't I marry Brother Jin?"
Zhao Xian had no choice but to hand her the letter, saying, "Jinzhi is already married. You can read it yourself."
Zhao Xiyue bit her lower lip tightly, reluctantly taking the letter from Zhao Xian. After reading it, she realized that Wei Jingzhuo was indeed married.
And he was quite satisfied with that woman.
She burst into tears, crying loudly, "How can Brother Jin get married? I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"
Zhao Xian tried to comfort her, but Zhao Xiyue wouldn't listen. She turned around, wiped her tears, and ran out of the house.
Even without the emperor's interference, he would not allow his granddaughter to marry Wei Jingzhuo.
No one knew better than him what kind of life his daughter was living after marrying the emperor.
He died young, worn down by that cannibalistic place, leaving his father to watch helplessly as a white-haired man burying his black-haired son.
The Zhao family has already produced an unfortunate woman; he cannot allow Xiyue to suffer the same fate as her aunt.
