When Aunt Lan saw Tong'er go out, she snorted coldly in her heart. Although her children are concubines, they are Li Weicheng's only children at this time. She didn't believe it, she couldn't sit in the position of the housewife, and even her favor would be taken away.

She made up for the mirror, Li Qiao lay on the couch and made a painful appearance, Li Shuyan anxiously helped her brother wipe the sweat on her head on the side, and the three of them happily waited for Tong'er to lead Li Weicheng, who was very worried, into the door.

However, Tong'er hurriedly returned, but there was no shadow of Li Weicheng behind him, the 'master' in Aunt Lan's throat, and the 'father' in Li Shuyan's mouth were all held back in an instant, and her face immediately turned pale. Aunt Lan's willow eyebrows were raised: "Where is the master?"

Tong'er said: "The slave maid went to pray, but she didn't even see the face of the master, only the girl from the purple courtyard came out and replied." said that if the fourth young master is sick, he should quickly invite the doctor to come, and it is useless to find the master. She said that this was the old man's exact words. ”

"Impossible!" Lan's first reaction was that Zhao Ziru stopped her, but after thinking about it, she felt that it would not, the old man was in that courtyard, and the things of the front and back feet would not be inaudible, even if he didn't hear it, he would meet with him later, and he would know the same. Zhao Ziru wouldn't be so stupid. Lan scolded in a low voice, 'slut', and was silent.

Li Shuyan came over and grabbed Lan's arm: "Auntie, why didn't Daddy come? Why didn't he come?

Tong'er hurriedly came over and covered Li Shuyan's mouth: "Seventh girl, don't talk nonsense, what 'that mother', wouldn't it cause trouble if people heard it?"

How could Lan not know that Tong'er was saying good things, but she was on fire in her heart, so she couldn't help but glared at Tong'er, and Tong'er hurriedly knelt down: "The slave is too talkative." ”

Lan snorted coldly: "You're right, you're right, we can't offend her on the surface." But I don't understand, Yan'er doesn't say, Qiao'er is now the master's only seedling, every time Qiao'er goes wrong, he rushes to ask this and that, what's the matter at this time?

"It must be...... Mother stopped her and didn't let Daddy come!" Li Shuyan's age was when he was learning to talk and learn things, and he already had his own discernment and emotions: "Auntie, my brother and I will go to Daddy again." Daddy will definitely come!"

Lan Shi took Li Shuyan in the crook of his arm and shook his head: "It's not her who stopped her, it's your father who doesn't want to come...... But why didn't he want to come at this time......"

Although her father is only a small county official, he also has one or two aunts in the family. I also have a good understanding of my aunt's desire to compete for favor and the disposal methods of the main room. She thought about it, and could only think that Li Wei had Zhao Ziru's freshness, and temporarily put the three of them aside.

It's just that she doesn't dominate him in Hehui Courtyard every day, why didn't Qiao'er come to him when he was sick? She suddenly thought of the 'medication' she talked to Tong'er that day, and couldn't help muttering in her heart, could it be that Zhao Ziru really didn't want to be embarrassed, and used something that Li Weicheng couldn't do without her?" "Tong'er, I asked you to pay attention to Ziruyuan, what do you see?"

Tong'er shook his head: "Auntie, the slaves and maids want to deal with the people of Ziru Courtyard intentionally or unintentionally at these times, but they are all indifferent, and they look like they are doing business, what happened in that courtyard, I'm afraid only the people in that courtyard know." ”

Lan frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "Although the water can't be splashed in the courtyard, she won't always stay in the courtyard and not come out, so you pay attention to what she does on weekdays, and then come and talk to me." ”

Li Shuci and the others gathered up the team and stopped in Yuncheng, Lidu Mansion, and informed Zhao Feiran of their previous speculation with Helian Tao.

Zhao Feiran's mind was blank for a while, and he said with his mouth half open: "The prince and the princess mean that the Zhao family is equivalent to being ...... at this time Confucian ...... Got the dominion in your hands?"

Helian Tao looked at him and understood that his mood at this time must have been in a mess, and he couldn't easily sort it out. Didn't say much, just nodded slightly.

Zhao Feiran lowered his head and was silent for a long time, as if he had finally figured out the cause and effect. said: "If the ancestral training of the Zhao family is related to the ancient clan, what must have been avoided all this time is the dumping of imperial power. If the former emperor is still there, the forces of the previous dynasty cannot be tolerated. The Confucian King has always regarded himself as the bloodline of the previous dynasty, so he naturally knows the news of those hidden old forces, and it is not surprising that he can find the Zhao family at this time. ”

Li Shuci and Helian Tao were silent, their most difficult thing before was the hiding place of the Confucian king, and now that they accidentally knew about it, their previous trip to Hongdu Mansion had to be reconsidered. Zhao Feiran thought for a moment and took the lead in saying: "Since the Confucian King is acting in the identity of his subordinate at this time, if we go to Hongdu Mansion, I am afraid that we will be startled." ”

Helian Tao looked at Zhao Feiran appreciatively and said, "Indeed, I am afraid that the matter of Zhao Gongzi's return to the family will be delayed a little. ”

"It's just that I'm a little worried about my father's situation...... "Zhao Feiran didn't think that the Zhao family would reject the various arrangements of the 'fake third master', but on the contrary, they should be very supportive. Only his father, the news said that he was seriously ill at this time...... "Moreover, if you want to return to the Zhao family smoothly, I am afraid it will be very difficult." ”

"Zhao Gongzi doesn't need to worry too much, now that we already know the truth, we must take action, I have an idea. Helian Tao and Li Shuci glanced at each other and said thoughtfully: "In my opinion, you don't have to make a big deal to return to the Zhao family. ”

Zhao Feiran was stunned: "How do you say this?"

Helian Tao's eyes were slightly gloomy, he stood up and walked to a picture of mountains and rivers hanging in the hall, and muttered: "The remnants of the Confucian King must be wiped out, but at that time, why should your Zhao family look ahead and backward? Without the ties and remnants of the previous dynasty, there is naturally no need to dodge. At this time, since someone has changed the status quo of the Zhao family for you, wouldn't it be smooth for you to sit back and enjoy its success? You don't have to expose the matter of the Confucian King replacing you, although with the momentum he has created for you, you can directly take over everything from the Zhao family. ”

Zhao Feiran was stunned for a moment, and Li Shuci smiled: "What you mean is that you will directly make mistakes, and there is no need to find out the truth, so that Zhao Gongzi can find an opportunity to quietly take the opportunity to replace the Confucian King." Zhao Sanye is still Zhao Sanye, nothing happened. ”

Helian Tao nodded: "Not bad." ”

Zhao Feiran finally understood the plans of the two, and couldn't help but admire. He pondered for a long time and gave a deep salute to the two: "There are two people who help each other, and I am grateful." ”

Helian Tao shook his head: "You and I are just helping each other, there is no need to do this." I think we might as well divert back to Beijing immediately. "Although they pass through Hongdu Mansion to return to Beijing from Lidu Mansion, it is not the only way to go, they can speed up their return to Beijing from the shortcut, and they can also avoid more ambushes on the road by surprise. He said to Li Shuci: "King Jing's Mansion was burned down, and my father's health is not good, so we naturally have to do our best to return to Beijing as quickly as possible." ”

In fact, Helian Ting is fine, but something happened to King Jing's Mansion, and Li Shuci, as a daughter-in-law, naturally has no reason to go on leisurely. A hasty return to Beijing will not raise any suspicions. Moreover, Li Shuci was always under the eyelids of the Confucian king, and Helian Tao couldn't rest assured at all: "This matter is not too late or sooner, and after returning to Beijing, I have to discuss countermeasures with my father-in-law, and we will also take care of each other." ”

"Hmm. "They were always on the road, and it was really inconvenient to pass messages back and forth, and some subtleties could not be taken care of at all.

Li Shuci glanced at Zhao Feiran and said: "The eighth girl of the Zhao family is now my eldest aunt, she is in the Li Mansion, I am also afraid of any trouble, I really want to go back as soon as possible." ”

"I'll send you back to Beijing first, and then secretly bring people to Hongdu Mansion. ”

Li Shuci said: "You want to go in person?"

Helian Tao looked into the distance and said in a deep voice: "This is a contest between men. ”

The second room of the Li Mansion.

Pang Zi didn't leave the house for a few months after he got sick, but fortunately, with Li Shuyu's dedicated care, coupled with the conditioning of various medicinal materials, he finally got better. It's just that at this time she was still sad. She lay face in on the couch, looking at the sachet pendant hanging on the tent in a daze.

At the age of fifteen, he made Li Weiqi a concubine, and now, he is already thirty years old. She often thinks that if she had married a small servant at the beginning, would she be able to use a man alone like the Wu family? Even if there are already thin lines on the corners of her eyes and lips, she doesn't have to worry that someone will compete for her husband.

She didn't dare to compete with the Wu family for favor, but she would still be jealous of the Wu family. It's not because she cares about Li Weiqi, she hasn't started her heart for Li Wei, such a cowardly man is not worth her effort. But her cousin Yuan Yong, she has never been moved, she has not been moved by any man. She didn't have anybody, neither loved her or loved her, and maybe that's where her jealousy lies.

However, in this way, she will also be tortured by wicked people.

There was a noise at the door, Pang Zi stopped thinking and looked back at Jiao Rong who came in, and asked, "It's all done?"

"When I did, plus the scattered silver tickets in hand, I scraped together, and finally made up a thousand taels. Jiao Rong frowned and said, "If there is no matter of the Zihe car, this money, wouldn't it be able to slow down the matter of my cousin first?"

Pang Zi went down to the ground and snatched the silver ticket from her hand, and said coldly: "Don't forget who is your master, if I have something, do you think you can be fine?

"It's not like you're not careless. Jiao Rong muttered in a low voice, and when she saw Pang Zi frowning and looking over, she said again: "Shall we send it to the eldest lady, or ......"

Pang Zi thought for a while and said, "Let's go to her, it will inevitably cause people's ideas." She's been here for us anyway, and she's not afraid to come again. You go outside and touch it, and if you see someone in her yard, whisper it. Let's just say it's ready, and there is no need to say anything more about it. ”

Jiao Rong watched Pang put away the silver ticket closely, bit her lip, didn't dare to say anything, and quietly retreated.

Pang Zi sat in front of the dressing table, looked at himself in the mirror, and said to himself: "I've been sick for a while, and I'm getting older." ”

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps behind him, Pang Zi thought that Jiao Rong was gone and returned, and said impatiently: "Didn't you let you go out?

"It's me. Zhao Ziru stood at the door, watching Pang Zi turn around, looking unspeakable.
