Xu Rui, the Duke of Wei, sat on the side of an Arhat bed with a relief tiger, stroked his forehead and looked at Xu Shuxuan, who was lying unconscious on the bed, and his heart was like a knife for a while. He has lost a daughter, and this son was exchanged for the life of his wife Nangong Clan, Nangong Clan has passed away for more than 20 years, but until now, he still clearly remembers her voice, smile and dying entrustment.

"I don't care what kind of things were promised between Grandpa Guo and the first emperor, how Grandpa Guo did his best to the court and died, but please Grandpa Guo must protect his children, no matter how important the state affairs are, aren't their children important?"

His children? Oh, yes! His children, he has never gotten along well with them, firstly, because of the will of the imperial court, he has been transferred to Nanjing or Zhejiang as the governor for many years, and he has no flawless care for the affairs of his family, and secondly, because of a taboo, he does not dare to get too close to his children.

A long time ago, a man who claimed to be able to measure the destiny of heaven told him: "Your children are very smart, but they are not blessed people, and it is their luck to live past the age of twenty-five!" ”

At first, he didn't believe what the man said, thinking that it was just a scare stick, just to cheat some money, but when he saw the death of his daughter Xu Shuyun and the accident that happened to his son when he was eight years old, he had to start believing in such a curse-like prophecy.

"The evil aura on Grandpa Guo's body is too heavy, if he gets too close to his children, it will definitely cost them their lives!" The man said so.

Is it really the evil spirit in his body that has broken the lives of his children?

This is actually a very ridiculous conclusion, just like the Holy Believers today. Many people disdained to believe it, but he had to believe it!

"Master, this is the prescription prescribed by Imperial Physician Jiang to the prince. Imperial Doctor Jiang said that this recipe can only hang half of the life of the prince, if it is taken for many years, it will also damage the body of the prince, but if you don't take it, I am afraid that the prince will not be able to survive even ten days! ”

That is, with this recipe. His son will live to be twenty-five years old, and if he doesn't, he will only have ten days to live.

Xu Rui's expression was extremely painful. He waved his hand and said, "For the time being, let's take the medicine according to this prescription!" ”

"Yes, Grandpa Guo!" A servant retreated.

Xu Rui called Wang Shen, a staff member who had been with him for more than 20 years, and asked, "Have you heard about any famous doctors in the rivers and lakes who can treat incurable diseases?" ”

Wang Shen lowered his eyelids. He shook his head and said, "Grandpa Guo." I said bluntly, most of those who have achieved medical skills have entered the Tai Hospital, and no matter how famous the doctors on the rivers and lakes are, I am afraid that they are just boasting and exaggerating, even if there is such a famous doctor in the rivers and lakes, we dare not gamble with the life of the son! What's more, if you want to say that the medical skills are the most prestigious, who can compare to Mrs. Nangong's maiden family......"

When Wang Shen said this, Xu Rui's eyes changed, as if he remembered something from the past. It's even more painful and sad.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa Guo. I shouldn't have mentioned it! He said apologetically.

Mrs. Nangong is not from a noble or famous family, but she is the most famous medical family in the south of the Yangtze River, the Nangong family has been practicing medicine for many years, and the children of the clan, whether male or female, have never had a history of wrong disease or inability to treat it.

The medical reputation of the Nangong family has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people more than 20 years ago, but unfortunately, I don't know what happened in this family, such a big family suddenly disappeared from Jiangnan, and since then the Nangong clan has disappeared from the rivers and lakes, and no one has ever found anyone in the Nangong family, and Mrs. Nangong also died suddenly after giving birth to her son Xu Shuxuan.

"I just want to find Madame's maiden family, Wang Shen, it's better to do this, you go and post a reward, who can cure the illness of the son, the bounty is 10,000 taels." Xu Rui suddenly thought about it and said again.

Wang Shen immediately vetoed it categorically: "Grandpa Guo must not, although the reward can attract some Jianghu Lang, it will inevitably not attract some greedy villains who come for financial gain, let these people come to smelt the disease for the prince, I am afraid that Grandpa Guo can not rest assured!" ”

"It's okay to attract some Jianghu Langzhong, I naturally won't let them get sick for the son, but for the sake of today......"

Halfway through Xu Rui's words, Wang Shen immediately understood what he meant, his heart lit up, and he asked, "Is Grandpa Guo trying to make the people of the Nangong family come to the door by themselves in this way?" ”

"Yes, Shu Xuan is still the nephew of their Nangong family, I don't believe that after this news spreads, they will die or not?"

"But the prince has been sick for more than ten years, and I don't see anyone from the Nangong family coming to the door......"

Wang Shen said a word, and Xu Rui's face became even more worried.

Oh, yes! Not to mention that the prince has been sick for ten years and has not seen anyone from the Nangong family come to the door, even after the death of Mrs. Nangong, there is no one from the Nangong family to mourn, and the son of this family does not know whether he is alive or dead now.

Xu Rui didn't understand, he just wanted to bet on a little bit of hope!

When the master and servant said this, they were both sentimental, and they fell silent for a while.

When Xu Rui's eyes fell on his son's face again, he couldn't help but have tears rolling in his eyes, especially when he saw this face that looked seven points similar to the Nangong clan, his heart felt as if he had been dragged by a knife.

After all, he failed her entrustment, not only did he not keep his daughter, but now he even has his only son......

"Grandpa Guo, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has come down!" The maid Qin'er suddenly came in and broke the sad and oppressive silence.

Xu Rui hurriedly stood up, and when he walked to the door, he saw the eldest princess walking in in a Taoist dress, followed by a young girl wearing a silk peony pattern Shu brocade dress and a smoky butterfly skirt.

This girl is Xu Mingyan, who was recorded in the Xu family tree with his consent.

Xu Mingyan, who is already twenty-two years old, has not yet left the cabinet, and there are some rumors in the house that are not very good, although Xu Rui has not been back in the house for a long time, he has his own maid who is his eyes and ears to reveal some news to him, so he has also heard some of those hidden rumors.

"Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!" Xu Rui saluted politely, and then said a word to Xu Mingyan. "Ming Yan is also here!"

"Father." Xu Mingyan gave a salute very respectfully, looking very dignified and elegant, she smiled slightly. "My daughter is also worried about her eldest brother's illness, so I want to come and see it too!" After she finished speaking, her eyes full of tenderness were projected on Xu Shuxuan.

Xu Rui nodded and stopped talking, but thought in his heart that he had to quickly set a family affair for this daughter.

The eldest princess had already walked to the side of the bed at this time and sat down on a Taishi chair next to her. She tucked Xu Shuxuan's quilt, sighed and said, "Shu Xuan is so seriously ill, because I, the mother, have not taken care of it." Grandpa Guo won't blame me, right? ”

The look in Xu Rui's eyes changed almost imperceptibly, and he hurriedly walked over and said softly: "How come?" Shu Xuan's illness fell when he was eight years old, and the princess had not yet married into the Wei Mansion at that time. Why can't I blame you? ”

"If you want to blame me, you have to blame me. In the more than ten years he has been growing up, he has not been with him much. He lowered his voice and sighed.

The eldest princess stood up and said: "It is my responsibility as a mother to take care of the children, Grandpa Guo is usually busy with official business, and it is inevitable that he will be negligent in these inner house matters, but Grandpa Guo does not have to worry, Shu Xuanji has his own natural appearance, I believe he will get better!" ”

Xu Rui nodded with a smile on his face. But the heart is extremely bitter, and this kind of comfort can only deceive oneself!

"About setting a family affair for Shu Xuan to be happy......" The eldest princess suddenly changed her words. After a pause, he turned to Xu Mingyan and the few maids standing in the room and said, "You guys go down first, this palace has something to discuss with Grandpa Guo alone." ”

Several maids replied yes, bowed and exited the room, Wang Shen also glanced at Xu Rui, and after giving up his hand, he turned around and left!

The expression on Xu Mingyan's face changed slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, he glanced at Xu Shuxuan again before walking out of the room.

There was a moment of silence in the room again, and the two were silent for a while, before the eldest princess opened her lips and said, "Grandpa Guo must want to ask, why am I in a hurry to tell Shu Xuan that I am happy in person now, isn't it?" ”

She looked at Xu Rui.

Xu Rui still maintained his respect for her, and said with an astringent smile: "Although I am not in the Guogong Mansion, I also have a general understanding of the affairs in the mansion, and I can't blame Her Royal Highness the princess for this, I know that Her Royal Highness the princess has told Shu Xuan a few family affairs, but because Shu Xuan himself is unwilling, so those family affairs have not been successful in the end." ”

"Grandpa Guo, do you know why Shu Xuan is unwilling?" The eldest princess asked again.

Xu Rui was stunned, why was he unwilling? Truth be told, he had never spoken to this son, nor did he know what was going on in his heart, but he was sure that he must have been as kind as her mother.

Don't you want to bother others?

"Not wanting to involve others is one of the reasons, and the other reason is that Shu Xuan himself doesn't like it." The eldest princess Zhengse said, "If you find a girl for Shu Xuan that he likes, this family affair will naturally be decided!" ”

Xu Rui was a little surprised that the eldest princess would say this, and he asked curiously, "Does the princess know what kind of girl Shu Xuan likes?" ”

The eldest princess smiled and replied: "It is said that Zhizi Mo Ruo's father, Grandpa Guo is really inferior to me." ”

"The case of the Yang family seven years ago caused a sensation in the capital, and although Grandpa Guo was in Nanjing at the time, he should have heard of it." She suddenly started with this, looked at Xu Rui's expression a little frozen, and said, "There is one thing that this palace has checked and verified, that is, Yan Fan once sent Shao Yunchen to Dingyuan County, Fengyang Mansion to kill the Yang family, and it was Mo Xuan who took more than a dozen secret guards to save the Yang family, although I am not very clear about the twists and turns, but it is certain that Mo Xuan must have instructed Shu Xuan to do this thing." ”

"After that, everyone in the Yang family, including Mrs. Yang and her six-year-old daughter, were imprisoned in Jinyi Prison, but that night, Jinyi Prison was robbed, and a girl was robbed from Jinyi Prison, as for who was robbed, the palace did not know, but later, this girl appeared in Shu Xuan's Tingyu Building."

When the eldest princess said this, Xu Rui's face changed greatly, and she became a little displeased: "You mean that the kidnapping of prisoners from Jinyi Prison was done by Shu Xuan's faction?" ”

Although many years have passed since this incident, it is an old case in the end, if there is a rumor of the person who robbed the prison, this case will definitely be re-raised and attract the attention of Jinyiwei! Do you still want his son to carry this black cauldron?

So Xu Rui was naturally very unhappy when he heard this.

"Grandpa Guo, don't be angry, this palace does not mean to accuse Shu Xuan of having participated in the reversal of the case for the Yang family. Instead, I want to tell Grandpa Sù Guo, no matter what, that girl also owes Shu Xuan a favor. And Shu Xuan dared to take such a risk to protect this girl, which shows that his feelings for her are not ordinary. ”

When the eldest princess said this, Xu Rui already understood what she meant.

"Is this girl the princess said is the daughter of the Yang family?" Xu Rui thought for a while and asked.

"Not exactly!"

The eldest princess replied, "This girl is indeed surnamed Yang now, but she is the daughter of Madame Yang. ”

When the eldest princess said this, no one noticed. The person lying on the bed suddenly opened his long eyelashes like a feather fan in an instant, but when Xu Rui looked at him, he saw that he was still lying there without moving. The brow is tightly knit and covered with long eyelashes, which makes it look extraordinarily serene and serene.

"Lady Yang's daughter? Is that the Mrs. Yang who reconciled with Han Mo and divorced? When mentioning this girl's life experience, Xu Rui's tone obviously revealed a trace of dissatisfaction.

Although Mrs. Yang and Han Mo reconciled. But this daughter of hers entered the genealogy of the Yang family. And I heard that Yang Mingyu, the son of Anguo Gong, treats this girl as his own, the Yang family has been loyal and good for generations, a century-old famous family, although it is the home of military generals, but this generation has also produced Yang Mingxuan, a civil official who has entered the office, according to the palace, this girl grew up in an environment like the Yang family, and her character and talent should not be bad. What's more, aren't we also here to rejoice Shu Xuan? The eldest princess said.

Oh, yes! It's just for the sake of joy! And why ask too much?

But if it weren't for the fact that his son was seriously ill. With his son's talent and appearance, why worry about not finding a noble daughter from a family with a good family background and talent and character as a wife.

"No matter what this girl's background is, but Shu Xuan likes her, this is more important than any conditions, isn't it?" The eldest princess added this sentence again.

As soon as the eldest princess's words fell, the expression on the face of Xu Rui, the Duke of Wei, suddenly froze, as if a dawn suddenly shot into his blocked mind, and his heart became extraordinarily bright.

"Yes, as long as Shu Xuan likes it! At this time, the most important thing is to make him happy! He became very excited for a while, and hurriedly said to the eldest princess, "Then this matter, please ask Her Royal Highness the princess to help you do it immediately!" ”

"However, you just said that the prince of An Guo treats her as his own, will he agree to let his niece come to Chongxi?" Probably because he was too ecstatic and suffered some gains and losses, Xu Rui asked uneasily.

Seeing his happy and worried expression, the eldest princess couldn't help but smile and said, "Grandpa Guo, don't worry, this matter has its own destiny in the palace!" Isn't the wife of the prince of An Guo the niece of the palace, Princess Ning'an? The palace will send a matchmaker to Princess Ning'an to inquire about the situation, as long as Grandpa Guo agrees, I will definitely be able to do this for Shu Xuan, and Grandpa Guo will wait to drink the wedding wine! ”

As soon as she heard that Mrs. Prince An was her niece, Princess Ning'an, the gloom on Xu Rui's face immediately dissipated, and he immediately smiled with joy!

Yes, the emperor decreed seven years ago that Princess Ning'an would marry Yang Mingyu, the fourth son of the Yang family, and give him the title of Prince of Anguo, how could he forget this?

Xu Rui nodded again and again, and happily sent the eldest princess out of the room.

And Xu Shuxuan was completely sober up at this time, his eyes were exceptionally clear and bright, but they were full of disbelief and a trace of sadness, it turned out that this woman had been investigating what he had done in the Yang family's case seven years ago, but why did she have to choose Mrs. Yang's daughter for him to be happy? And how did she know that he had a special affection for that girl?

Is it really for him to like and be good for him?

No, this woman's mind will never be so simple, so what is she for?

"Nan Chu, Nan Chu-" He couldn't help but call out a little nervously, his body had become very weak due to the coma he had been sleeping for most of the time, and his voice was a little weak, but no matter how low his voice was, he believed that Nan Chu could hear it.

Sure enough, as soon as he spoke, Nan Chu jumped down from the roof, stepped into the room like lightning, and came to Xu Shuxuan's bed.

"The son of the world is awake? What does the Son command? Nan Chu asked anxiously.

"Is Mo Xuan in the house now? Tell him to come to me quickly! Xu Shuxuan said in a commanding tone, but just one sentence made him cough a little hard and uncomfortable.

Nan Chu's face showed a look of worry and doubt.

"Shizi-" He half-knelt in front of Xu Shuxuan's bed and covered the quilt for Xu Shuxuan.

Seeing that Nan Chu was deliberately avoiding his words, he asked solemnly, "What's wrong?" Is something wrong with Mo Xuan? ”

Nan Chu hesitated for a while, unable to resist Xu Shuxuan's gaze, and nodded: "After the prince fell into a coma, the fifth young master went to the Yang family in Dingyuan County, Fengyang Prefecture, and I just got the news that the fifth young master and Yang Wulang Yang Mingxuan and their families encountered an assassination when they passed through the Tongzhou Post Station on the way back to Beijing!" ”

Xu Shuxuan's expression tightened, and Nan Chu immediately continued: "But rest assured, the fifth young master is fine, and this matter was also reported to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion by the fifth young master himself, but a little thing happened, and the fifth young master has not returned to the house for the time being." ”

Xu Shuxuan, who originally heard the word assassination, was already shocked and suspicious in his heart, but then he heard that something small had happened, and he couldn't help but ask nervously: "What happened?" ”

Nan Chu realized that he had unconsciously said something that he shouldn't have said, and he knew that he couldn't hide it, so he replied in a low voice: "In this assassination incident, there are witnesses who accuse the Yang family's niece Yang Ling of killing a guy in the hotel!" ”

The niece of the Yang family, that is, the girl from seven years ago! Is that her? She also came to the capital? What are you here for?

Xu Shuxuan's face suddenly became even paler as snow, and he couldn't help but cough violently again. (To be continued.) )
