Wen Yu and Song Shang quietly watched the green smoke from the burning incense and paper rise up and then dissipate.

Xiaoji rolled over like a ball and said, "Fifth Madam, it was said that Madam Li and Madam Yang are here!"

"Cousin, I have to go and greet him. Xiaoji, go talk to the lady again!"

Song Shang watched her light footsteps walking towards the gate, then slowly followed her. He also had to go home, as his wife had called a doctor in the morning!

Speaking of Mrs. Yang, she is truly a rare good person in the world.

As soon as he entered the room, he became emotional, his eyes were red, he burned incense and paper for Xu Minghui, and tears were really flowing.

Madam Li looked at her helplessly and said to Wen Yu, "Sister knows Xu Minghui. She was very sad when she found out about her."

Madam Qi brought Baoer out to return the gift.

Madam Yang looked at Baoer and started chatting with Madam Qi.

Madam Li winked at Wen Yu, and the two walked to a secluded place in the corner of the yard to talk.

Looking at Wen Yu, Madam Li couldn't help but wonder. She was not far-sighted and impeccable, but she was also very cautious. But she had only met this beautiful little woman a few times? How could she trust her so much? The two of them told each other everything... She knew that she was calculating and black-hearted.

So, before he opened his mouth, he glared at Wen Yu. "I got your letter and checked it when I got back. Guess what?"

"Go ahead!" Wen Yu was a little excited.

"That Mr. Zhou. It's possible that he is related to King Wu!"

Speaking of King Wu, the stunning Yang Rushi suddenly appeared in Wen Yu's mind... Even in the capital, in the imperial palace, Wen Yu had never seen such a person again.

"It's just that he hid it very well. The King of Wu is a recent celebrity. Although there is no traffic in front of his house, he often meets people in his private house. Those who can go there are all very important people. But this Lord Zhou didn't come forward. He didn't let his son get close to him either."

"Then how do you know he is the King of Wu's man?"

"Because the bridge in the middle was discovered by the cabinet minister! Moreover, this Lord Zhou and the cabinet minister have a special relationship. If we don't check it out specifically, we really can't find this old fox! The cabinet minister found that when Zhou was in office, several people who were quietly promoted across levels are now officials with real power.

He also showed favor to some people! And his students. Among them, Dong Zhanshi, who died in the Prince's Mansion, was also favored by him. He saved that person's mother... This time, he probably used it up. Dong Zhanshi's family is all dead. Does the East Palace know about this?"

She saw Wen Yu nodding slightly, "Although I don't know the relationship between Dong and Zhou, what Dong did has been discovered."

Madam Li thought to herself: The prince is really capable! She didn't tell Wen Yu: After Li Ge Lao's thorough investigation, he broke out in a cold sweat, and he was almost surrounded! Wen Yu thought: "He Ge Lao married his granddaughter to the Prince of Yongqing, so she is from the Wu Wang family. Lord Zhou's circle is also from the Wu Wang family. Madam, I remember you said that Li Ge Lao is a loyal minister who shares the worries of the king and pleads for the people. But now that things have come to this, shouldn't we also be biased?"

Mrs. Li smiled but said nothing.

"Madam..." Wen Yu wanted to say something.

"Wen Yu, what's going on with the Qi family?" Madam Li interrupted her.

Wen Yu was helpless. She didn't want these things to happen, but she couldn't help you! Madam Li laughed again: "Qi Youduan came back to accept the title, right?"

"Maybe that's what the Marquis meant."

"What about your long house?"

"Still thinking of a solution!" Wen Yu replied indifferently.

"Wen Yu, you don't have to be so obsessed with this. A noble title like the Qi family's corresponds to soldiers and wealth. Just like Xu Minghui's family, they used to have a high noble title, but later they lost their soldiers and wealth. What's the use of having a noble title? Qi Youduan has been there for so many years, and you want to stop him now. It's difficult."

"We can't just stand by and watch! If we can't win the fight, we can just say so!" Wen Yu smiled.

"Humph! You might be up to something bad again!"

"Madam, I may have a connection with the King of Wu, and he should know more. I wonder if you are interested? If you are interested, I can help the Lord to make an appointment!"

"Ah, are you forcing me to get on your boat?"

"Madam, you have wronged me. We have always had a mutually beneficial relationship!"

"Who are you talking about?"

"A person who has a personal grudge against the King of Wu. He has considerable power." That's Mr. Hu!

Madam Li thought for a moment and said, "Now that you have made an appointment, please send me a letter."

Madam Li smiled and said, "Even the elders may not understand everything about the court. It's best if you can escape unscathed. As for the Crown Prince? In my opinion, it's best if you can hold on."

Wen Yu sighed softly, "A year ago, I could never have imagined that I would be involved in these affairs."

"I think you are quite talented. Even if you marry Qi Wu, you might be a disaster if you marry into the royal family..."

"Hmph, same here!" Wen Yu refused to lose.

Mrs. Li was about to laugh, but then she remembered that she was at a funeral...

"Okay, I'm going to go look for that silly girl, otherwise, she'll cry her eyes out again."

Wen Yu was about to accompany her, but Madam Li suddenly stopped again, "Oh, there is something, just listen to it. Lord Li told me yesterday that after the beginning of the year, the elder went to the imperial study and found that a large floor-to-ceiling screen had been added to the room. Originally, there would be some changes in the imperial study occasionally. For example, the calligraphy and paintings on the wall were replaced, and some softer chairs were replaced, etc. No one paid much attention to it.

After finishing the discussion yesterday, the Emperor might have gone to change his clothes, so he left first. The cabinet elders and others walked out, and just as they reached the door, the cabinet elder remembered that he had not taken something behind the table, so he came back to get it. He seemed to hear... the sound of a teacup being placed on the table behind the screen. "

Wen Yu looked at Madam Li steadily: "Is there anyone in there?"

"Your Excellency has been with the Emperor for a lifetime, and you know the habits of this monarch. He has many empty moves, but he will not do useless work..."

"Is the emperor letting someone sit in on the government affairs?" Wen Yu frowned. "It shouldn't be the King of Wu or the King of An, right? Otherwise, there would be no need..."

Madam Li said calmly, "Maybe the old man is old and has misunderstood. I get along well with you, so I'll give you a word as a bonus. As for what it means, I don't know. Besides, that person... since he wants to keep it secret, no one can know! I'll take my leave first."

Wen Yu stood there and watched Madam Li leave.

Perhaps, her coming with her sister to pay her respects was false, but what she told herself was true? ...

Madam Li left with Madam Yang, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying. On the way, she said to her, "Are you not afraid of seeing Xu Minghui? When people die, they know nothing. Only those who are left behind will suffer.

Look at her little daughter! How pitiful! In a year, her stepmother will come into the family. What good is she? At least she still has Madam Qi as her grandmother. If you have another child and something goes wrong, our mother will be gone long ago! Are you still planning to throw it to me? After taking care of you, take care of your children? Aren't you afraid that your eldest sister will be exhausted?"

Madam Yang hugged her sister's arm and said, "I won't have any more children, sister. I won't have any more children."

…

Wen Yu stood there for a long time, feeling that when she took the next step, she didn't know whether it was real or not. It was a terrible feeling.

Xiaoji rolled over again, and Wen Shizhu came to the door accompanied by Hu Fei.

Finally, there was someone who made her feel relaxed. She hurried to greet him, "Zhuzhu, I missed you."

Wen Shizhu's concern was sincere: "Ayu, you look exhausted. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"No, I haven't slept much these past few days. I'm happy to see you."

Wen Shizhu said: "Yesterday I went to see Master Qing. When I called her, her eyes rolled and her mouth moved. When I pulled her hand, she held it tightly. She was really about to wake up."

"Have you seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Yeah. Gu Yue chatted with His Highness for quite a while. His Highness got quite tanned, and so did Lan Zhou. But they both looked quite energetic!"

Wen Yu whispered to Hu Fei: "Mr. Hu, I want to tell you something old..."

Hu Fei's eyes never left Zhu Zhu: "Go ahead!"

"King Wu, what do you think?"

"He is my past, a past that I have not yet broken away from. However, I have Zhuzhu now... I have a bond with her, so I cannot act without scruples. How can I throw the things in my hand without hurting myself or Zhuzhu? I need a method."

"Have you discussed this with Master Wen?"

Hu Fei shook his head: "I didn't tell my father-in-law. One reason is that we have to deal with the prince, and now there is a hint of further progress. I am afraid that my father-in-law will worry. Another reason is that I am afraid that he will think that I can't let go of the past and treat Zhuzhu badly."

Wen Yu was also a little confused about this person: So have you really let go? I stopped updating for a few days. I thought I would be able to write quickly in a relaxed environment... but in fact, I didn't.

depressed.
