Xiao Fei, who returned home from the palace, had just stepped into the Jingning House where he lived with his front foot, and a little errand girl on the back foot hurriedly came to report: "Madam, the palace sent someone to report that the emperor has just issued a holy decree to our house, please prepare an incense case immediately to meet the holy decree." ”

When Xiao Fei heard this, he almost crushed a mouthful of silver teeth. That little scumbag, he actually begged for a holy decree! A poisonous plan appeared in his heart, Xiao Fei turned his head and called Zhou's mother, and said something in his ear. Mother Zhou's eyes suddenly widened after hearing this, and she looked shocked: "Madam, this is ......" Xiao Fei gritted his teeth and said: "We don't have time, the holy decree is about to come." If you don't do it now, you won't have a chance in the future! You do it quickly, quickly! Mother Zhou took a deep breath, nodded, and hurried away.

Only then did Xiao Fei unhurriedly prepare for the holy decree.

As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, Shen Ze hugged his fists to the father-in-law Gao and Wei Ling, who escorted him: "Xiaosheng went out to look for a miracle doctor for a year, and just returned to Beijing today to go to the palace to congratulate the queen mother on her birthday, and I haven't returned home for a long time. ”

Who can mix up with the father-in-law who goes out of the palace to deliver the decree is not a human spirit? Gao Gonggong is naturally willing to sell a small favor to the prince of Weiguo in such a trivial matter, he nodded and said with a smile: "The prince is filial, how can a slave not be perfected?" Although the road is in a hurry, the Weiguo Mansion is not far away, and the old bones of the slave can still afford it. ”

Wei Ling didn't say much. After the prince and the prince got into the carriage, he also turned over and ordered: "Hurry up!" ”

The dignified and first-class Guogong Mansion is located in the most prominent area of the imperial city, and it is also the closest to the imperial palace. Wei Guogong was so sick that he couldn't get out of bed, and the emperor had already said when he sent the imperial doctor last time that in the future, the Wei Guo Mansion would not have to force Wei Guogong to get up and receive the order, so at this time, only Xiao Fei had already led the two concubines to wait in front of the door.

After getting out of the carriage, Gong Gao saw that the affairs of the decree had been prepared thoroughly, and without delay, he took out the holy decree in his arms and read it.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: Shen Bin, the prince of Weiguo, has both ability and political integrity...... Now I think that it is not easy to treat this disease of Wei Guogong, so he was allowed to go to Yunzhou Yaowang Valley for treatment, Wei Guogong was virtuous and virtuous, and Shen Ze, the son of the prince, was loyal to filial piety, and authorized the two to go with Wei Guogong, plus a hundred taels of gold for the ceremony, and three boxes of rare medicinal materials in the palace, so that Lin Zhi, the deputy commander of the forbidden army, led fifty forbidden troops to escort Wei Guogong's family to Yunzhou. Chin this! ”

Shen Ze knelt behind Xiao Fei and received the order with her.

After receiving the decree, the high father-in-law who passed the decree did not leave immediately, but said to Xiao Fei with a smile: "I don't know when Wei Guogong will be able to recover and return to Beijing, the emperor's special servant went to visit Wei Guogong, and it can be regarded as seeing off Wei Guogong for the emperor, I wonder if Mrs. Wei Guogong can make it convenient?" ”

Calculating the time, Zhou's mother should have succeeded, Xiao Fei's heart was determined, there was no discoloration on his face, and he bowed: "The concubine will lead the way for her father-in-law." ”

Shen Ze followed behind his father-in-law, feeling uneasy and longing, and he didn't know how his father was doing now.

On the other side, Zhou's mother led a few mothers-in-law and hurried to Cuiliuju, where Grandpa Guo lived. As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw two big girls sitting under the eaves outside the door, doing needlework in their hands, talking and laughing.

Seeing Zhou's mother, the two maids hurriedly got up and saluted.

Zhou's mother asked, "What about Grandpa Guo?" ”

One of the maids replied: "Grandpa Guo has not woken up yet, and the slaves and maids dare not quarrel with Grandpa Guo, so they are waiting outside." Mother Zhou didn't pursue the maid's quibbles, and ordered: "Go and open the door." ”

The maid hurriedly stepped forward to push the door, but the door was bolted from the inside, and it could not be opened at all.

"Who's in there?" Mother Zhou frowned and asked sharply.

The other maid didn't know how this could happen, and said anxiously: "The slave doesn't know. The slaves and maids have been guarding the door, and no one has ever entered. Mother Zhou waved her hand, and the mother-in-law behind her stepped forward together and pushed the door hard.

The people in the house seemed to have been prepared, and several mothers-in-law used their strength to feed, but the door did not move.

"You guys, go separate and try a few windows!" The door was blocked, and Zhou's mother tried to take other ways.

After a while, several mothers-in-law returned in vain, and the people inside were well prepared, and even the windows were blocked.

Mother Zhou didn't expect this to be the case, and said angrily at the two lazy big girls: "Who is in there?" Grandpa Guo is so sick that he can't get out of bed, and it is impossible to bolt the doors and windows by himself! ”

The two maids turned pale with fright, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, but they really couldn't answer what Zhou's mother asked.

Time is of the essence, and now is not the time to check who is inside. Zhou's mother said decisively: "Go to the small kitchen to get a jar of oil, hurry!" ”

Here, Xiao Fei was leading everyone to Cuiliuju, and halfway through, smoke suddenly came out of the front of him. Seeing this, Shen Ze didn't care about anything else, so he immediately left everyone and rushed away, followed by Wei Ling.

When the two rushed to the door of Cuiliuju, they saw a raging fire burning at the door of the main house, and a group of mothers-in-law and maids gathered together, as if they were collectively frightened and stupid, and watched in a daze.

"You dog minions! Is this a blatant murder? Seeing this scene, Shen Ze's eyes turned red with anger.

Mother Zhou, who was staring at the fire and urging it to burn faster, didn't expect Shen Ze to come so soon. Hearing Shen Ze's roar, her reaction was not unpleasant, and her face was already full of panic when she turned around: "The prince is angry, and the slaves and maids are all scared and stupid." You guys, you're still stunned what to do. Don't put out the fire yet! ”

The crowd dispersed in a hurry, shouting: "It's water!" Come and put out the fire! ”

Now is not the time to meet these slaves, Shen Ze stepped forward and shouted into the house: "Mother Zhang, I am Shen Ze." I'm coming! Remove the blockage, and I'll save you!" ”

A crying female voice came from the room: "Lord Shizi, you are finally here!" The old slave thought he would never see you again...... Grandpa Guo, wake up quickly, the son of the world has come to save us! Immediately afterward, there was the sound of heavy objects rubbing.

Hearing this, Mother Zhou secretly grinded her teeth in her heart, and she couldn't imagine that the old woman who pretended to be deaf and dumb would actually be the person of Grandpa Guo! I hate myself and my wife for letting her be fooled for so many years.

Fortunately, Shen Ze arrived early. With the emperor's people on the side, Zhou's mother didn't dare to delay the fire for others, and after a few buckets of water, the fire at the door was extinguished.

As soon as the fire was extinguished, Shen Ze rushed over and kicked open the crumbling door with one kick.

"Father, the child is not filial, he came too late, and you suffered......" Seeing his father who was still unconscious on the bed, Shen Ze couldn't hold back anymore and cried loudly like a child.

It's been two years, and it's been two full years since I last saw my father. My father, who just turned 40 this year, has gray hair and several wrinkles on his pale face, but his body is a little thinner than two years ago. Shen Ze felt a cramp in his heart, but he didn't dare to delay his movements, and eagerly took out the small bottle left by Bi Tuo from his arms, and poured out a pill the size of a mung bean from it.

Seeing this, Zhang's mother, who wiped her tears behind her, immediately poured a glass of water smartly.

Bi Tuo deserves to be a miracle doctor, after taking his medicine, it didn't take long for a trace of blood to appear on Shen Bin's face, not as pale as paper just now, but he still hadn't woken up.

In the imperial study, Duke Gao and Wei Ling, who had just finished announcing the holy decree from the Weiguo Mansion, were replying to the emperor.

"After the old slave finished reading His Majesty's will, he went to visit the Duke of Wei Guo according to His Majesty's instructions. Who knew that the old slave only walked halfway, and the Cuiliuju where Wei Guogong lived suddenly went out of the water. Fortunately, it was discovered early, and by the time the old slave arrived, the fire had been extinguished. The prince gave Wei Guogong the medicine given by the divine doctor, and when the old slave came back to restore his life, Wei Guogong had not yet woken up, but his face was much better than before. The prince entrusted the old slave to tell His Majesty that Wei Guogong's illness could not be delayed any longer, so he decided to leave early tomorrow morning and take Wei Guogong to Yunzhou. Don't blame your majesty. ”

The emperor nodded, and said thoughtfully: "The situation is urgent, he is filial piety, I originally allowed Wei Guogong to go to Yunzhou, how can I blame him." ”

Seeing Wei Ling's expression of wanting to speak, the emperor took the initiative to ask, "Wei Aiqing still has something to say?" ”

Wei Ling bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen has just walked with Gao Gonggong, and what he has seen and heard is no different from him. It's just that when he found that Cuiliuju was walking in the water, Weichen followed the prince to rush over first. When Weichen and Shizi arrived, the gate of Cuiliuju caught fire, and the door was bolted from the inside, and all the subordinates watched the fire at the door, and no one put out the fire. After the prince scolded loudly, the subordinates began to put out the fire in a panic. Wei Ling only reported what he saw and heard, and did not have any subjective consciousness.

The emperor was most satisfied with him, and nodded when he heard this. Which high-ranking family in Beijing is not filthy? The Emperor was already surprised, so he replied, "I know. No matter how the truth of this matter is, it is also a family affair of the Patriotic Mansion, although I am the emperor, it is not good to meddle in the family affairs of my courtiers. If it is really the slave who kills the master, presumably the prince of Weiguo can also deal with it himself. Alright, stand down. ”

When Wei Ling heard this, he was no longer entangled, and obediently followed the public announcement to retreat.
