The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Tuoba Yu ran all the way, the anxiety in his heart like a burning flame.

Those forgotten fragments of memory kept flashing in her mind, and those past scenes came flooding back like a tide.

When she arrived at the door of the room of Taoist priests Qingfeng and Mingyue, her breathing became a little rapid and her cheeks flushed slightly.

Taoist priests Qingfeng and Mingyue saw Tuoba Yu's anxious look and immediately had some guesses in their minds.

They looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

"You look like you have recovered your memory?" Taoist Qingfeng spoke first, his voice steady and gentle.

Tuoba Yu nodded vigorously, tears of excitement flashing in his eyes.

"I remember it, I remember everything." Her voice trembled a little, because she could not suppress the excitement in her heart.

Taoist Mingyue smiled and nodded, "That's great. Your ability to recover your memory must be a blessing from heaven."

Tuoba Yu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Taoist Mingyue raised his chin slightly, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "Tell me, what is your identity?"

Tuoba Yu took a deep breath, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said: "I am one of the wives of the current Prime Minister Xi Yu."

When these words were spoken, Taoist priests Qingfeng and Mingyue were both stunned.

Their faces were filled with disbelief.

Taoist Qingfeng frowned slightly, thinking to himself: "I didn't expect that she would be Xiyu's wife."

Taoist Mingyue said: "We know Prime Minister Xiyu and have dealt with him before. But we never thought that you were his wife."

Tuoba Yu looked at the reactions of the two Taoist priests and felt a little emotional.

She lowered her eyes slightly and said, "I never thought that I would recover my memory under such circumstances."

Taoist Qingfeng calmed down, his eyes fell on Tuoba Yu again, and said, "If this is the case, what are your plans for the future?"

Tuoba Yu raised his head, his eyes revealing determination: "I'm going to find Xiyu."

Taoist Mingyue nodded slightly and said, "Well, now that you have recovered your memory, you should face your past. But the journey may not be peaceful, so you have to be more careful."

Tuoba Yu looked at the two Taoist priests with gratitude and said, "Thank you for your concern, I will be careful."

After saying that, she turned and left, her heart full of anticipation and anxiety about the future.

Tuoba Yu mounted the horse's back and squeezed the horse's belly hard, and the horse rushed out like an arrow.

The wind blew her hair, revealing her resolute face.

Her thoughts were churning in her mind, and she thought to herself, "From now on, I can no longer be willful."

Her hands, which were gripping the reins, were trembling slightly because of her inner excitement and nervousness.

Along the way, she traveled at full speed, with events from the past constantly emerging in her mind.

Those past willfulness and mistakes were like heavy shackles, making her feel guilty and regretful.

But now, she wants to break free from these shackles and start over.

In Youzhou City, the news of Xi Ping'an's illness spread quickly to every corner like a whirlwind.

People were whispering and talking, with expressions of worry and anger on their faces.

"Who is so cruel as to harm the Prime Minister's child? It's so infuriating and abominable!" An old man frowned and said indignantly.

His eyes were filled with anger, as if he wanted to find the poisoner immediately and seek justice for Xi Ping'an.

A woman next to him also echoed, "Yes, the Prime Minister has done so many good things for us in Youzhou, and yet someone dares to harm his child. This is simply intolerable."

"This investigation is really like looking for a needle in a haystack. The poisoner must be hiding very deeply." A young man shook his head with a helpless look on his face.

Amid all the discussions, the air seemed to become heavy.

Everyone was praying silently in their hearts, hoping that Xi Ping'an could recover soon and that the poisoner could be brought to justice as soon as possible.

Xi Yu sat in the study with a serious expression.

A soldier knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Prime Minister, I was patrolling outside the palace just now when I saw a masked man hurrying over. The masked man was dressed in black and his face could not be seen clearly. He only handed me a letter and said that the letter was related to the Prime Minister's son's illness. After that, he turned around and left. I couldn't catch up with him."

Xi Yu looked at the letter in the soldier's hand and thought to himself: This letter came strangely, and he didn't know who wrote it.

He carefully checked the letter, repeatedly checking the paper and seal, and only after confirming that there were no problems did he slowly open it.

His eyes were focused and intense, as if he was uncovering a major mystery.

He gently pulled out the letter and unfolded it to read.

As his eyes moved across the letter, Xi Yu's expression became more serious.

Xi Yu tightly grasped the letter, his eyes widened angrily, and his face instantly became as gloomy as the sky before a storm.

He slammed the table so hard that the teacups on the table jumped up.

"This is slander! This is outrageous!" Xi Yu was furious, his voice booming like thunder in the study. His chest was heaving violently, and the anger in his heart burned like a raging fire. "How could Ouyang Linlin do such a vicious thing? This is clearly malicious slander!"

His eyes were filled with anger, as if they could spit out flames. Xi Yu paced back and forth in the study, unable to calm down his anger. "I must get to the bottom of this, and I can't let this unwarranted slander ruin his reputation."

It turned out that the handwriting on the letter was sloppy but carried a malicious certainty.

"Mr. Prime Minister, your son Xi Ping'an's illness must have been caused by Ouyang Linlin. This woman is now pregnant and wants to gain status through the child. Naturally, she does not want Xi Ping'an to be alive. She is ruthless and will do anything to achieve her goals. I hope Mr. Prime Minister will understand this."

Then, Xi Yu hurriedly walked towards Ouyang Linlin's room. As he walked, he thought to himself: "Linlin is pregnant now. If I go to her now, will it cause trouble for her?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but slow down his pace, and a hint of hesitation and worry appeared on his face.

But soon, he gritted his teeth and thought to himself: "No, I'd better go. This matter is very important. I need to let Linlin think about who she has a grudge against."

So he quickened his pace again and his eyes became determined.

Xi Yu gently pushed open the door of Ouyang Linlin's room, and saw that in addition to Xiaohong, there were several maids serving there.

Xi Yu walked into the room, waved his hand and said, "You all leave."

Upon hearing this, the maids bowed and left the room.

Ouyang Linlin looked at Xi Yu and asked curiously, "Husband, what's the matter?"

There was a gentle smile on her face.

Xi Yu smiled slightly, walked to Ouyang Linlin and sat down, and said softly: "Linlin, I want you to read a letter, but no matter what you read, you must not be upset, and you must stay calm."

Ouyang Lingling also laughed and said coquettishly, "What is it? My husband speaks so mysteriously." She blinked her eyes and became more and more curious.

Then, Xi Yu carefully handed the letter to Ouyang Linlin.

Ouyang Linlin took the letter and just after reading it for a few seconds, her face turned pale. Her hands were shaking and she said angrily: "Slander, this is pure slander, I didn't do that!" Her breathing also became rapid.

Xi Yu quickly held Ouyang Linlin's hand and comforted her: "Linlin, don't be angry, I definitely believe you, otherwise I wouldn't have come here. It's just that, according to reason, you are pregnant now, so I shouldn't have told you about this, but this matter is very serious, and I must let you think about who has a grudge against you and would do this." Xi Yu's face was full of anxiety and worry, and his eyes were determined.

After hearing what Xi Yu said, Ouyang Linlin's tense body gradually relaxed. She took a long breath and said, "My husband, just believe in yourself. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do. But I really can't think of anyone I have a grudge against. Now I basically never go out of the house. I stay in this yard every day. The chances to make enemies with others are really few and far between."

She frowned, her face full of confusion and distress, and her eyes were lost.

After a while, she seemed to suddenly think of something and said slowly, "Perhaps they are the remaining competitors of my father. When my father was alive, he inevitably offended some people in the business world. Maybe they are holding a grudge and are seeking revenge now that they have found an opportunity."

After hearing this, Xi Yu lowered his head and pondered. After a while, he raised his head and said, "I thought about it, and there may be a possibility. Maybe it's not someone who has a grudge against you directly, but someone wants to use this incident to attack me, thus implicating you."

But Xi Yu frowned and said angrily: "This is simply a prank! Such a clumsy trick actually tried to deceive me. The person who wrote the letter is so stupid!"

His heart was filled with disdain and anger, thinking that the other party underestimated his judgment.

Xi Yu suddenly slapped his head hard and said regretfully: "Oh, or should I not have come here! I should have thought about coming here myself. This may have something to do with the former enemies of the Ouyang family."

His face was full of self-blame, and he secretly blamed himself for not thinking it through.

Ouyang Linlin hurriedly held Xi Yu's hand and said gently: "Husband, don't blame yourself. You did this because you care about me, I know it." Her eyes were full of understanding and comfort, and there was a gentle smile on her face.

Xi Yu looked at Ouyang Linlin with a smile and said softly, "Linlin, have a good rest and don't think too much."

His eyes were full of concern. He patted her hand gently, then turned around, opened the door, and let the maids in.

As soon as Xiao Hong entered the room, she asked anxiously, "What on earth is the Prime Minister doing here?"

Ouyang Linlin sighed slightly and said, "Xiaohong, don't worry. My husband brought me a letter, but the content of the letter..."

Xiaohong frowned and complained, "The Prime Minister is such a fool. Why did he come when he knew it would cause trouble for the young lady?" Her face was full of dissatisfaction, and she wondered in her heart why the Prime Minister was so inconsiderate to the young lady.

Ouyang Linlin shook her head helplessly and said, "Xiaohong, don't say that about your husband. He also wants to find out the truth of the matter, and he believes me." There was a hint of helplessness in her eyes, but more of it was understanding of Xi Yu.

Although Xiaohong still had some complaints in her heart, when she saw Ouyang Linlin's expression, she finally pursed her lips and said nothing more.

After Xi Yu left Ouyang Linlin's room, he came to Gan Mei's room.

As soon as Gan Mei saw him, she couldn't wait to ask, "Husband, how is the investigation going?"

Xi Yu said seriously, "I have interrogated several maids in the room and the cook, but I haven't found anything yet, but I have to continue investigating. Don't worry, I will try not to force a confession from them, but to investigate through formal means."

After listening to this, Gan Mei nodded slightly, her expression relaxed a little, and said, "That's good, as long as we can get to the bottom of it and clear everyone's name." Although she was still a little worried, she felt relieved after hearing Xi Yu say that.

Xi Yu slowly walked to the bedside and looked at Xi Ping'an who was lying there. He saw that the child's face was red and he had a high fever, but he was already in a deep sleep.

Xi Yu reached out his hand and touched Xi Ping'an's forehead with heartache. Suddenly, he felt a particularly hot sensation in his hand, and his heart suddenly tightened.

Gan Mei watched anxiously from the side, tears welling up in her eyes.

Xi Yu turned to look at Gan Mei and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, Song Shuwen will definitely be able to collect herbs successfully." His eyes were firm, trying to convey some confidence to Gan Mei, but his heart was actually full of worry and uneasiness.

Xi Yu returned to his room, frowning, pacing back and forth, thinking to himself: "It's incredible. How could the writer of the letter insult my intelligence like this? Why did he do this? What was his intention? How could I wrongly accuse Ouyang Linlin because of such a poorly written letter?"

On the other side, Tuoba Yuma was still on his way without stopping.

That day, she came to Qingzhou.

Looking at the little money left in her pocket, she frowned and thought to herself, "What should I do? I have to find something to do to earn some money."

But she stood on the busy street, her eyes confused, completely unaware of what she should do.

After a while, Tuoba Yu came to an inn to eat.

She ordered a few dishes, but as soon as she finished, she felt a little worried, muttering to herself: "Once I pay for the meal, I will be left with no money. What should I do next?"

She sat at the table, her brows twisted into a knot and her face full of worry.

At this time, the waiter came over, looked at Tuoba Yu's troubled face, and asked enthusiastically: "Sir, what's wrong with you? Can you tell me, maybe I can help you think of a solution."

Tuoba Yu bit his lip and said with an embarrassed look: "Little Second Brother, to be honest, I don't have much money left. I will have nothing left after paying for this meal. I want to ask, can I stay in this store and work for a day to pay for this meal?"

The waiter was embarrassed when he heard this. He scratched his head and said, "I don't have the final say on this, but I can talk to the shopkeeper for you."

He looked at Tuoba Yu's pitiful appearance and felt a little bit sorry for him.

Tuoba Yu quickly stood up and said gratefully: "Thank you so much, little brother."

Her face was full of sincere gratitude, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

The waiter said to Tuoba Yu in a soothing tone: "Miss, please wait here for a moment. I'll go to the backyard to find the shopkeeper." After saying that, he hurried to the backyard.

When we arrived at the backyard, the shopkeeper Hou Jinwei was basking in the sun comfortably with his hands behind his back.

The waiter stepped forward quickly and said respectfully, "Boss, there is a girl in front who is in trouble. She is running out of money and wants to work in our store for a day to pay for her meal. How do you think we can handle this?"

The waiter had a cautious look on his face and observed the shopkeeper's expression as he spoke.

When Hou Jinwei heard that it was a girl, he was moved, but his face remained calm. He thought to himself: "Is it a girl? I must go and see."

So he straightened his clothes and walked slowly to the hall.

When the waiter saw the shopkeeper coming, he immediately introduced Tuoba Yu to him: "Shopkeeper, this is the girl."

Tuoba Yu quickly stood up, bowed slightly, and said politely: "Boss, I'm sorry to bother you."

There was a hint of nervousness and anticipation on her face, and she looked at Hou Jinwei sincerely.

The moment Hou Jinwei saw Tuoba Yu, his eyes widened and he was secretly delighted: "This girl is so beautiful, it's like God sent her to me. Since someone sent her to my door, why shouldn't I accept her?"

His face was filled with a seemingly kind smile, and he said, "The waiter told me everything about the girl. I am willing to keep her here for a few days to earn some money."

When Tuoba Yu heard this, a grateful smile immediately appeared on his face, and he kept saying, "Thank you, shopkeeper, thank you, shopkeeper! As long as I can earn enough money to go home, I will quit."

Hou Jinwei nodded and said, "Okay, girl, just follow the waiter and learn. I'm going to the backyard now." After saying that, he looked at Tuoba Yu reluctantly before turning around and leaving.

The waiter looked at Tuoba Yu with enthusiasm and said, "Girl, you can rest assured now! The shopkeeper has agreed to let you stay, so you can work here and earn money."

Tuoba Yu's eyes were full of gratitude, and he said sincerely: "Little Second Brother, thank you so much! If you hadn't helped me to ask the shopkeeper for mercy, I don't know what to do."

After that, she quickly shoveled the remaining rice in the bowl into her mouth, wiped her mouth with her sleeve, stood up, and said, "Then let's get started quickly. I will definitely learn well and live up to the kindness of the shopkeeper and you."

Afterwards, Tuoba Yu followed the waiter closely and began to learn various tasks in the store seriously.

Hou Jinwei, who was standing behind, was overjoyed at the moment, and a smug smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

He thought to himself: "My wife has been dead for a long time. Now I am single. God is really kind to me by sending me such a beautiful girl."

In his mind, he kept imagining the scene of being with Tuoba Yu, as if everything had come true.

He had to keep this girl and make something happen between her and him at night.

But Tuoba Yu didn't know what he was thinking and was still studying hard. (End of this chapter)
