No one paid any attention to Zou Yangyao's words.
A group of people fought together, shouting and killing, one after another...
Finally, at the gate of the capital, Zou Yangyao appeared, lying wounded on the horse's back, and was carried to the city gate by the equally wounded horse. Perhaps tired, the horse lay down on the ground, unwilling to move.
Some people gathered around and started pointing, "Who is this? In broad daylight, he was injured like this?"
"Yeah, did you meet bandits?"
Amidst the crowd's discussions, Zou Yangyao was turned over, revealing his resolute face. Someone was surprised: "Why does he look so much like General Zou?"
In the general's mansion, after someone heard about Zou Yangyao's situation, they hurried towards the city gate.
Afterwards, Zou Yangyao was brought back and a doctor was urgently summoned.
The news that Zou Yangyao was assassinated and injured spread.
Naturally, everything fell into Miao Qinghua's ears.
"Zou Yangyao was assassinated? How badly injured is he?" Miao Qinghua looked at the palace maid kneeling below.
The palace maid responded respectfully: "According to the news from outside the palace, the injury is serious!"
Miao Qinghua asked curiously again, "Who has a grudge against Zou Yangyao? Who wants him dead?"
The palace maid hesitated and didn't respond immediately. Miao Qinghua prompted, "Go check!"
"Yes!" After the palace maid left obediently, Miao Qinghua did not seem to feel sad at all, but only felt it was extremely interesting.
She picked up the tea beside her, and the nanny said, "Should the general's wife be informed of this?"
Miao Qinghua's smile deepened. "What's the point of letting her know? There's no point at all. Now we just need to find out who is harming Zou Yangyao. Is it the Regent or someone else?"
She just likes to watch them fight each other!
The doctor rushed to the general's mansion and examined Zou Yangyao's wound.
The servants of the general's mansion all gathered around the room and began to discuss anxiously: "Who is so bold as to even dare to assassinate our general?"
"Isn't the only enemy our general has offended now the one in the palace?"
The servants were talking about it when the housekeeper came over quickly and scolded them, "Have you finished your work? Why don't you get back to work?"
The servants then dispersed.
The butler sighed worriedly and was about to leave, but someone stopped him: "There's someone outside claiming to be from the palace, and they want you to come through."
The housekeeper frowned, not knowing what was going on, but he didn't dare not go.
At the door, a palace attendant in casual clothes asked directly without beating around the bush: "Do you know who assassinated General Zou?"
The butler shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"Then why did your general leave the capital and go outside the city?"
The housekeeper responded, "It was the regent's idea. He asked General Zou to go to a grave outside the city to clean it. Who knew that he would be injured like this when he returned."
After hearing this, the palace maid's eyes flickered and she asked again, "Does General Zou have any other enemies?"
"This..." The butler fell into deep thought. Obviously, he was not too sure now.
Finally, he responded, "Yesterday, the general had Miss Tai brought here. Miss Tai looked very unhappy when she left. I heard that it was Miss Tai who spread the rumors between Madam and the Regent. Is the Tai Mansion also one of them?"
After hearing this news, the palace servant sighed and said, "Our Queen Mother is very concerned about the safety of your general. Please take good care of him."
Afterwards, the palace maid turned around and left. The housekeeper felt that this matter should not be that simple?
The news was reported back to the palace. After Miao Qinghua learned the news, she thought that the assassination of Zou Yangyao was either from the Tai Mansion or the Regent's Mansion.
But whether Tai Fu assassinated Zou Yangyao is meaningless.
Miao Qinghua chuckled, "Send someone to the General's Mansion to keep an eye on and protect Zou Yangyao. As soon as he has the strength to speak, immediately ask him who assassinated him!"
After the palace maid left, she stayed by Zou Yangyao's side as requested by Miao Qinghua.
The people who went to assassinate Zou Yangyao also returned to the Regent's Palace to report.
When Jing Yuchen learned that Zou Yangyao was not dead, he was naturally furious.
"Sneak into the general's mansion, find the right opportunity, kill the man and don't give him the chance to testify against me!" Jing Yuchen gave the order.
In the general's mansion, Zou Yangyao was still lying on the bed, and the servants were working as usual. In the evening, a servant came into Zou Yangyao's room carrying medicine.
