Chapter 426: Beauty's Grace
Shi Lang left, and Zhao Xiaofei came to his eldest brother's residence. Since Liu Rushi learned that Zhao Xiaokun was injured, she had basically lost interest in government affairs. She stayed at home to watch over Zhao Xiaokun every day, and Kong Sizhen and Wu Sanmei also took turns serving him.
"Brother! How is your recovery?" Zhao Xiaofei asked as he came to the bedside.
"It's no big deal. In a month, I, your big brother, will be able to stand in front of you full of energy again." Zhao Xiaokun said with a smile.
"I'm glad you're okay. How about I take you back?" Zhao Xiaofei asked. Because returning to the modern era would help one recover quickly.
Since there was no one around, the two brothers could talk freely. Zhao Xiaokun had no idea what to do, so he said, "Why should I go back? Will your sister-in-law and the kids get worried seeing me like this? If Mom sees, she'll nag me again."
"That's true, but this time I really am, how should I put it? I feel as sick as if I had eaten a fly! I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, but the Ming Dynasty has to fight to the death to have a way out." Zhao Xiaofei said in a low voice.
"What's the big deal? We are much stronger now than when we first arrived! Now we have the reputation of being careless, we have soldiers and generals, and we have plenty of money and food. As long as you don't do anything stupid, it will take less than three months to take Nanjing!" said Zhao Xiaokun.
"Generals? General Zhou Wanshan and the others don't want to go. They want to allocate some ships to them. They just want to go to America!" Zhao Xiaofei said.
"Without them, it would be enough to promote some grassroots generals in the past two years. We can't keep them if they want to leave, so let's send them on their way!" Zhao Xiaokun said coldly.
"I really didn't expect that this day would come! Since they want to leave, this is all we can do!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"They both deserve to die! When they had the idea and did nothing when they saw you in danger, they should have thought that this day would come!" Zhao Xiaokun said with a sneer.
"Doctor Zhang has already made arrangements. She gave the medicine. I guess the internal security personnel will give me news in the next few days." Zhao Xiaofei said.
"Okay! What will Fang Xinyu think if we send them away? He is the son-in-law of King Chuan!" Zhao Xiaokun asked.
"He just wants to stay in Sichuan peacefully. He is the only one who understands the situation," said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Did you confront him?" Zhao Xiaokun asked.
"He only said four words: let everyone accept their fate!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"We can't relax our surveillance on him either. The Jinyiwei and Neiwei will take turns to monitor him," said Zhao Xiaokun.
"Well, don't worry, big brother!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
At this moment, a palace maid walked slowly forward and saluted, saying, "Your Highness, Governor, Lady Jiang has sent a letter inviting Your Highness to the palace for a chat!"
Zhao Xiaofei took the post and said, "Got it! Go down!"
"Okay, your old lover is looking for you, go quickly!" Zhao Xiaokun said with a smile.
"It's so late now. I guess she wants me to send her back to modern times. Okay, I'm leaving!" Zhao Xiaofei said and left.
Zhao Xiaofei left his elder brother's place and came to Jiang's house. The maid at the door led Zhao Xiaofei into the inner house, where Jiang Xiaomei was writing in the study.
As soon as Zhao Xiaofei entered the room, he said, "Wow! You brought your work home!"
The maid left. Jiang Xiaomei put down her pen and looked up at Zhao Xiaofei and said, "It's not that your princess wife is too hardworking. How can we, the subordinates, not work hard?"
"We were just fooling around when we were working before! Just do it well enough!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Almost? Fooling? Are you crazy? The Ming Dynasty is your family's business! If you don't care about it yourself, then I can also not care about it. Don't blame me for fooling you when the rebels in the south come to the capital!" Jiang Xiaomei said.
Zhao Xiaofei was speechless. He had forgotten that he was the boss now. That's right! Jiangshan belongs to his son. This mentality is wrong!
"That's right, I forgot about it!" Zhao Xiaofei replied with a silly smile.
"My God, someone like you can actually save the Ming Dynasty! God is really blind!" Jiang Xiaomei laughed.
"When I first came to the Ming Dynasty, I never thought about turning the tide! At the beginning, I just wanted to make a fortune and get some money to live on. In the end, I don't know what happened, and I became the son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty and a prince of a different surname." Zhao Xiaofei said.
"Did you just want to make some money and come back to live with me?" Jiang Xiaomei asked.
Zhao Xiaofei heard this and realized that Jiang Xiaomei's focus was different from his own. He mainly wanted to say that he had become a prince consort and a prince without knowing what was going on.
"Yeah! It's fate! Haha!" Zhao Xiaofei laughed awkwardly. He felt like he was going to get a cancer-like attack of embarrassment.
"By the way, what do you want to talk to me about? Are you going back? When?" Zhao Xiaofei immediately changed the subject to ease the awkwardness.
"When did I say I wanted to go back?" Jiang Xiaomei said to Zhao Xiaofei sarcastically.
"Then why did you call me here?" Zhao Xiaofei asked.
"How long has it been since we had a good talk?" Jiang Xiaomei suddenly asked this question.
This made Zhao Xiaofei stunned for a moment. After thinking about it, he realized that they had basically not spoken to each other since they broke up.
"Uh, it feels like we haven't had normal communication for a long time." Zhao Xiaofei said helplessly.
"I said, everything is over. There is no need for you to feel guilty for the rest of your life, and there is no need to hide from me." Jiang Xiaomei said.
"I will never be able to get over this guilt. I just feel sorry for you! Without you, where would I be today? My mother is also sorry for you. She doesn't know the whole story, but I can't tell her, otherwise we wouldn't be separated." Zhao Xiaofei felt much better after he said this. He felt much more relaxed after he said what was in his heart.
