Chapter 329 Lost
Du Zhihuan pursed her lips. Prince Rong's Mansion really didn't want to wait too long.
Maybe I can wait four or five years, but that’s too long and I definitely don’t want to wait.
Perhaps if Yang Xu's research is successful, she will not only be able to marry into the royal family earlier, but her brother-in-law will also take power earlier.
"Okay, brother, if anyone comes looking for me, I'll send someone to tell you right away. However, it's also possible that my biological mother is overly worried. Wu Lingheng is an official after all, so he doesn't come into contact with many people in the martial arts world. How could anyone under him be capable of such harmful tactics?"
Xiao Chengqian: "That's the best. Please be careful when you travel next time... I'll arrange for two people to stay with you."
"Brother, I can take care of myself. I can't arrange for two more people. The people around me are all the best people picked by my parents from the Du family's military guard camp. They are more than enough to protect me."
"Okay, if you can't solve something yourself, come find me in time. Once Madam Song recovers, you can return to the Du family. The Marquis's wife wants to find you a man, but it's still up to you. Just wait until you're eighteen, and I'll marry you."
Half a minute later, Du Zhihuan left.
Xiao Chengqian sat quietly with his eyes lowered in thought for a moment, then returned to Prince Rong's mansion.
"Gan'er, weren't you very busy at the government office today? Why are you back so early?"
Xiao Chengqian sent everyone else out and closed the study door himself.
Xiao Hongyi was very surprised when he saw this. "What shameful things are you going to tell my father?"
Xiao Chengqian raised an eyebrow, sat down opposite Xiao Hongyi, and whispered, "Father guessed right. Wasn't Father worried about Song Yu taking care of the little prince a few days ago?"
Xiao Hongyi frowned, his face grim. "I went to the palace to check. Although the little prince can't be completely cured, with Song Yu's care, he will grow up safely, get married, and have children. He's already over seven years old, and he'll be eight after the New Year. In another seven years, he'll have a son. If he has a healthy son, the throne will naturally fall to this child."
Xiao Chengqian asked, "Then what should father do?"
Xiao Hongyi scrutinized him, wondering what this kid was planning. "What can father do? He's just hoping you'll inherit the throne smoothly."
"Oh, then the seven years are worth waiting. My son is still the powerful regent."
Xiao Hongyi had a gloomy face. The Regent was not going to die soon!
How could the imperial power tolerate a regent who might rebel at any time?
"You are simply dreaming. You won't even know how you died."
Xiao Chengqian said, "Don't worry, father. After the emperor passes away, the young prince will naturally and willingly abdicate the throne to me."
"Impossible. The little prince treasures everything his father has the most. He would only do this if his health failed. Now that he has the chance to marry and have a son, we won't have anything to do with him."
Xiao Chengqian, "Father, have you ever heard of Gu?"
Xiao Hongyi was startled. "What kind of Gu?"
"If it were the little prince, the obedient Gu..."
Xiao Hongyi's expression remained calm upon hearing this. "This kind of Gu has been lost."
Xiao Chengqian was surprised, "Has Father ever been in contact with him?"
Xiao Hongyi's eyes changed slightly when he heard this, as if he was reminiscing about the past.
"Father, what are you thinking about?"
"Oh." Xiao Hongyi came back to his senses. "I was thinking that even if there was such a Gu, alert people would notice it in time, and in the end, they would fail, unless there was a sudden and unexpected surprise."
Xiao Chengqian understood that his father must have used this kind of Gu to do bad things and was discovered.
"Father, what's the surprise?"
Xiao Hongyi glared at him. "What's the surprise? If you get along well with Song Yu and make her completely devoted to you, we can use the Du family's military power and her medical skills."
Xiao Chengqian left and hurriedly arranged for his personal guard Awu to go to the martial arts world to look for this kind of Gu.
With this kind of Gu, things become much simpler.
The little prince obeys his every word, so how can Dayuan not be his?
It would be better if the emperor passed the throne to him directly.
However, the emperor is very vigilant and it is impossible for him to be alone.
Only the little prince.
Du Zhihuan arrived at Yang Xu's hiding place.
Yang Xu was flattered and was about to greet him, but Du Zhihuan stopped him in time.
"Huan...Miss Du, why did you come here today when you have time?"
Du Zhihuan saw that his complexion had improved a little, "Are you feeling better now?"
Yang Xu smiled and said, "Thank you Miss Du for your concern. I am feeling much better now."
"I see you're still very weak and could faint at any moment." Du Zhihuan handed over a few banknotes, "Buy some good herbs and food to take good care of yourself."
Yang Xu didn't want it, so how could he spend his niece's money?
He returned the banknote to Du Zhihuan. "Miss Du, I'm not short of money..."
Du Zhihuan frowned, "Here you go, take it, and don't refuse."
"Oh, okay." Yang Xu was afraid that Du Zhihuan would be unhappy, so he quickly put the banknotes into his arms, feeling very happy.
"If the new method you mentioned last time is too difficult to research, then don't bother with it. Cutting your face is too cruel."
"Don't worry, Miss Du, it won't be too difficult. I promise to succeed before you reach the age of 15."
Du Zhihuan felt that it was a bit slow, but it was impossible for her to marry him right after she turned fifteen. "Okay, study it carefully. It's best to figure it out as soon as possible."
"Okay, Miss Du."
"Also, you cannot appear in front of Prince Xiao in your true form in the future."
Yang Xu nodded: "Miss Du, don't worry. I won't show my true face in front of people. So how did you go back to the Song family?"
Du Zhihuan looked furious. "You're still trying to find out. Just be quiet. This is none of your business. Now that Song Mingzhu's poison has been cured, don't persecute her anymore."
Yang Xu was both unwilling and worried, "But she will kill you. She knows you are not her daughter anymore."
"If she makes a move, I won't let her off. Just take care of yourself and do what you need to do. Don't worry about anything else!"
Yang Xu had no choice but to compromise, "Okay Miss Du."
It was noon when the shopkeeper of Zhiji Huanzhang brought in the food. "Miss, these are all your favorite dishes. Can we check the bill after you finish eating?"
Chunhua saw Du Zhihuan leave the desk and go to the dining table. A moment later, Yunshuang came to the window with a chicken leg, and Chunhua retracted her exposed face in time.
Just at this moment, Du Zhihuan, dressed as a servant, entered through the back door.
Du Zhihuan changed her clothes behind the screen and came to the table to sit down for dinner. "Yunshuang, Yunyan, have you spotted any other suspicious people outside?"
"No, there are no familiar princes or young ladies coming to the tavern today."
Du Zhihuan nodded: "Everyone sit down and eat."
At the same time, the Jiang family was happily having a meal in the dining hall.
"Mom, Shu Ge'er can't eat too much. It will make him feel full."
The plate in front of Wen Shu was piled high with big fish and meat picked by Old Madam Jiang, and the bowl was piled high like a small mountain.
"That's just a little bit. It's not much at all. Shu Ge'er needs to eat a lot to gain weight.
Old Madam Jiang felt very sad when she saw Wen Shu was as thin as a monkey.
The child, who is almost fourteen years old, looks like a ten-year-old and is only half a head taller than Xiao Nuo.
I wish I could make him grow taller and fatter with one meal.
"Shu'er, you have to eat more to gain weight." Jiang Youya looked at Madam Jiang's expression and handed a large piece of lean pork ribs to Wen Shu's mouth. "Shu'er, this is meaty, not greasy and very fragrant. Open your mouth and eat it."
Seeing this, Old Madam Jiang smiled and looked at Jiang Yunzhou.
Jiang Yunzhou hurriedly put the Yuxi meatballs into Wenshu's bowl and kicked Jiang Guanchen.
You're so tactless! Don't let your grandmother find out that you don't favor your cousin.
Jiang Guanchen moved, Feng Yingying followed suit, Song Mingen and Jiang Yunwan also picked up some food.
Wen Shu looked at the mountain of food in front of him and suddenly felt that being pampered was also a kind of pressure.
He is full and stuffed and can't eat anymore.
"cousin."
Wen Shu looked at Song Yu for help.
Song Yu understood, "Grandma, my cousin shouldn't eat too much or too greasy food right now. He needs to take care of himself slowly and gently, otherwise it will hurt his spleen and stomach. Don't worry, it won't be long before you see him grow taller and fatter. By this time next year, he will definitely be a handsome young man."
Mrs. Jiang was relieved after hearing this, "Okay, take your time."
When Wen Nuo saw Wen Shu put down his chopsticks, he quickly walked over to help him continue eating his food.
He ate until his mouth was full of oil and he burped.
"Burp~"
This made the Jiang family laugh.
After dinner, the family gathered in the flower hall and talked about family matters.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, the housekeeper came in hurriedly, "Old Master, Old Madam, Old Madam Cheng is here."
