Chapter 423 Everyone, please go back
Chen Guangzhi is gone.
Chen Meihua stood there, feeling flustered. She said to Deputy General Gao, "Your men must protect my father. He is the best father in the world."
Deputy General Gao nodded, "Yes."
Chen Meihua watched Chen Guangzhi walk away before turning back, looking back every few steps.
When I got back, Yun Zhao had already gone to the study to read.
Yun Zhao is a very quiet person and speaks very little.
I can stay alone in the study for a whole day. When I am engrossed in reading, I can skip lunch and dinner.
If it weren't for Xie Jingmo, Chen Meihua felt that she could starve herself to death in the study.
Fu Hai said to Chen Meihua with a smile, "You may not know that back in the Imperial Hospital, Yun Zhao set a record of reading for seven days and seven nights without sleeping. This record has not been broken to this day."
Chen Meihua looked at Yun Zhao's profile and thought that he was a truly strange person.
"Is the book really that good?" Chen Meihua was puzzled.
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Books can teach people many truths."
Chen Meihua patted her thigh and said, "I hate reading the most." She glanced at the books on the table, and after a moment of silence, she said to Yun Zhao, "Let's chat."
Yun Zhao nodded and turned a page of the book. "You say."
Chen Meihua was a little absent-minded. She was silent for a long time, but she still had some questions to ask.
"Why are you helping me?"
"Is it because I am the daughter of the Chen family, or do you also want the wealth in my hands like Mu Chengyan?"
Chen Meihua seemed a little impolite when she asked this question.
Fu Hai frowned and tried to stop him.
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "It's okay."
She simply asked Chen Meihua, "Your father sent you here on his own initiative."
The implication is that——
I didn't ask you to come here.
"If I really wanted something from you, I would never use the means I have now." Yun Zhao smiled faintly.
Chen Meihua was curious, "Then why did you help me?"
In fact, Chen Meihua has always been very curious about why Yun Zhao helped her so much.
You could say she had some ulterior motive, but Yun Zhao never said a word of help from beginning to end, and even let her eat and live here for free.
When Chen Guangzhi came today, Chen Meihua had already asked her father about it, and her father said that the Queen Mother had not asked him to do anything about it.
But if that's the case, then it doesn't make sense.
Why does Yun Zhao defend himself like this?
When people are nice to each other, they probably want something in return.
Chen Meihua will never feel at ease until she gets to the bottom of it.
"Because your personality is a bit like my cousin's," Yun Zhao said, "and also because—I'm quite envious of you for having such a father."
Chen Meihua was stunned.
"Is that all?"
Yun Zhao found it amusing. She looked up at Chen Meihua and asked, "What else? Do you have anything else that would be of great value to me?"
Chen Meihua blinked her eyes and said, "I have money, very rich. If you want to compete with Mu Chengyan, don't you need money?"
Yun Zhao laughed and asked, "Do you know what is more important besides money?"
Chen Meihua frowned for a long time.
She couldn't think of anything more important.
Mu Chengyan is such a noble person, didn't he come to me for money?
Yun Zhao pointed at himself and said, "Brain, do you understand? Wisdom is more important than money. Money is like flowing water, it changes in the blink of an eye, but only if you have wisdom can you remain invincible in the long run."
Chen Meihua looked at Yun Zhao in confusion.
Yun Zhao smiled and lowered his head to read again.
Chen Meihua didn't understand, but that didn't stop her from believing Yun Zhao for no reason.
She realized it later.
Perhaps, it is because Yun Zhao is exceptionally smart, so she has the ability to impress people without even saying a word.
Is this wisdom?
Chen Meihua didn’t know, but she was sure that she liked Yun Zhao, a smart man.
She lowered her head and imitated Yun Zhao, opening the book in front of her.
…
An hour later.
Yun Zhao had just started having dinner when he saw Deputy General Gao hurried in.
He looked in Chen Meihua's direction with a serious expression.
Yun Zhao frowned slowly.
Then I heard Deputy General Gao say, "Chen Guangzhi is missing!"
Chen Meihua's eyes widened when she heard this. "What do you mean?"
Deputy General Gao said, "We don't know where he left the palace. The guards said he had been in his room since lunch. Chen Guangzhi had the habit of taking a nap, so the people outside didn't notice. By the time they realized something was wrong, no one was inside."
"I took people to look inside and out. There was only one exit in that room. I still don't understand how Chen Guangzhi disappeared."
Yun Zhao looked at Chen Meihua.
Chen Meihua said: "There is a secret passage in my father's room."
This is the Chen family's secret.
Chen Guangzhi only told her about the entire Chen family.
"What? There's a secret passage?!"
Deputy General Gao took Chen Meihua out. Yun Zhao wanted to go with them, but Xie Jingmo didn't let him.
"We can just go. With your body like this, you will fall down if the wind blows. Stay in the palace."
Chen Meihua stood aside and didn't say anything.
She just looked at Yun Zhao, her eyes always on him.
She always felt that if Yun Zhao didn't go, she might not have a father.
But she also knew that Yun Zhao had always been weak.
She drank Chinese medicine every day, and once, she even saw Yun Zhao quietly vomiting blood.
She didn't know how to bring this up to Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao naturally also caught Chen Meihua's gaze.
She smiled and said softly to Xie Jingmo, "It's okay, I'll just go and take a look. I won't get off the carriage."
Xie Jingmo frowned.
Chen Meihua immediately said, "Queen Mother, thank you!" She knelt down and kowtowed to Yun Zhao. "I will definitely repay you in the future! All the money I earn will be given to you!"
Yun Zhao reached out his hand and helped Chen Meihua up. "I don't need any of this from you. Let's go."
Yun Zhao's health was indeed not good. As soon as he got in the car and the wind blew, his face changed.
However, she still wanted to go, not for Chen Meihua's money, nor for Chen Meihua, or the Chen family.
She was for—
The former Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao was helpless and could only watch his parents leave for a foreign land and eventually die in a foreign land.
She really hopes that Chen Meihua can be happy if possible.
I can bring happiness to my family for Yunmeng who died young, and myself who has lost my parents.
The carriage was jolting.
Yun Zhao suppressed the smell of blood that was rising up and looked outside with a faint look in his eyes.
It was raining heavily.
Xie Jingmo was worried outside the carriage.
Yun Zhao suddenly lifted the curtain of the car, and Xie Jingmo looked over worriedly.
Yun Zhao called over Deputy General Gao and whispered to him, "The rest of the Chen family must be kept under guard. Also, have more people accompany us. Tell everyone that the Regent invited Chen Guangzhi and Xie Jingmo to a gathering at his residence. Before they are brought back, don't put pressure on Mu Chengyan, or else both sides will be destroyed."
Deputy General Gao nodded, "Okay, you are very thoughtful."
Deputy General Gao went there.
Along the way, the heavy black clouds pressed down, making people feel breathless.
Their carriage stopped at the gate of the Regent's Palace.
The servant who most often followed Mu Chengyan stopped at the door and said, "My master is not at home at the moment. Please go back."
