In the room, Zou Yangyao's eyes were still closed. The servant patiently fed him medicine and left.
After everyone left, a man slowly walked out of the room. The man was wearing a black nightgown and had his face covered. It was obvious that he had no good intentions.
Then he walked towards the bed...
They were planning to suffocate Zou Yangyao to death, so that there wouldn't be so much controversy about whether Zou Yangyao was seriously injured or died.
But when he lifted the bed curtain and looked, he saw another person lying on the bed. When he saw the man in black, he immediately attacked him.
The two men tangled and fought, causing quite a commotion in the room. Afterwards, the door was pushed open, and the butler stood in front of a group of guards and said, "Capture the assassin!"
The assassin quickly rushed to the window and broke out. The others naturally followed him quickly.
Looking at the assassin, he was climbing walls and climbing rooftops very quickly, but there was always someone behind him, following him closely and preventing him from escaping.
At this time, it was already night. Under the cover of darkness, the vision was unclear and the distance between him and the assassin was getting farther and farther. Gradually, in the end, no one could be seen.
But isn't the direction it disappeared in the Regent's Palace?
Although the person was not caught, after confirming that the assassin was probably sent by the Regent's Palace, the steward of the General's Mansion asked someone to pass the news to Miao Qinghua tomorrow.
Miao Qinghua had originally hoped it was the Regent's Palace, and now that her guess was correct, she felt relieved.
The Prince's Mansion and General Zou's Mansion are like Jing Yuchen's right-hand men and women, but both families have turned against the Regent's Mansion and can be used by her at her will.
The nanny beside her said respectfully, "Congratulations, Queen Mother."
But in the Regent's Palace, Jing Yuchen learned that the assassination had failed and the assassin had fled. He had no choice but to be angry.
Let people hide and don't get found out.
*
Since the Grand Marshal was demoted, he has been stationing troops and winning over court ministers. Although Jing Yuchen is of royal blood, Miao Qinghua raised the emperor, and in the future, the emperor will inevitably be close to Miao Qinghua.
So joining the Miao Mansion is a better choice than joining the Regent's Mansion?
Jing Yuchen also went to court and left court as usual, as if the capital was very peaceful and nothing had ever happened.
Zou Yangyao recuperated in the mansion for a few days and was gradually able to get out of bed and walk around. He asked the servants in the mansion about the rumors in the city.
The servant replied respectfully, "There are fewer rumors about Madam and the Regent on the streets, but Miss Tai didn't make them public; she was the one who started them."
According to what Zou Yangyao said before, Tai Banxue should have been killed by him long ago.
"Did anyone come to the palace during the time I was unconscious?" Zou Yangyao asked weakly.
The servant beside him responded respectfully: "On the day the general was injured, someone from the palace came to ask about what happened that day."
Miao Qinghua sent someone here, which shows that she was concerned about him.
Zou Yangyao coughed, then stood up and said, "Prepare clothes for this general. I need to go to the palace to meet the Queen Mother."
In the palace.
"Your humble servant greets the Queen Mother."
Miao Qinghua looked at Zou Yangyao and quickly extended her hand to support him. "I heard you were assassinated and was still thinking about how to avenge you. I didn't expect you to come here in person. Quick, get up and take a seat!"
Zou Yangyao looked towards Miao Qinghua, a look of bewilderment on his face. "Queen Dowager, from what you're saying, do you know who the murderer is?"
"It was just a guess at first, but later, I knew for sure." She sighed and said, "The Regent's men took advantage of your coma and sent people to your house, intending to kill you and silence you. Did you know?"
Zou Yangyao frowned tightly and said nothing.
Miao Qinghua continued, "Aijia, I never thought the Regent would be so bold!"
"He coveted your legal wife before, and now he's so bold as to want to assassinate you. I wonder if his next move will be to marry your legal wife openly into the family!"
Zou Yangyao's eyes were gradually replaced by anger, and he immediately pleaded: "Queen Dowager, I beg you to make a decision for me. The Regent is so audacious and has no regard for the law!"
Miao Qinghua had an embarrassment on her face. "I will naturally make the decision for you, don't worry about that. However... now is not the time to actually take action."
Zou Yangyao promised firmly, "Empress Dowager, if you have any instructions, please just ask. I will go through fire and water to do it for you!"
Miao Qinghua showed a satisfied expression: "Okay, I believe you!"
Afterwards, Miao Qinghua allowed Zou Yangyao and Xiao Chuer to meet. Xiao Chuer felt very distressed when she learned that Zou Yangyao was injured.
Zou Yangyao held Xiao Chuer in his arms and said comfortingly, "Just wait for a while, I will take you home!"
Xiao Chuer nodded vigorously in Zou Yangyao's arms: "Okay, I believe you."
The next day, Zou Yangyao went to court as usual.
In the court, although no one among the civil and military officials mentioned the assassination of Zou Yangyao, it was almost tacitly known who assassinated Zou Yangyao.
Zou Yangyao never mentioned it either. After leaving the court, he passed by Jing Yuchen as if there was no conflict between them.
Jing Yuchen looked at Zou Yangyao's leaving figure with a calm expression.
Ni Gaofei couldn't help but speak up. "Although the rumors about the general's wife have died down a lot in the city, I heard that you were also involved in the assassination of the general."
Jing Yuchen shrugged helplessly: "If it was really me, why didn't anyone come to arrest me? And why didn't Zou Yangyao bother me anymore? Father-in-law, don't think too much about it."
