Reborn from the bottom of the coffin, the miracle doctor and the ugly concubine fight against the wo

Outside the door, because they didn't know how long Chu Zhao would be busy, the Fang family father and son invited Murong Xiao to the flower hall to drink tea and wait.

Murong Xiao did not refuse and followed them to the flower hall.

Fang Weixian drank tea and asked roundly about the doubts in his heart: "I heard in the capital that the prince rescued a black-faced woman from bandits, and he accidentally had physical contact with the woman. The woman's family was not willing to let her go. The prince is responsible for seeking life and death, so he has no choice but to marry her. Is that woman the Princess Jingnan just now?"

The story Fang Weixian told was made up by Murong Xiao when he reported it to the court. The purpose was to find a suitable reason for his marriage to a wealthy businessman so that the court would not doubt his motives.

In order to make this story appear real, Chu Zhao arranged for people to pretend to be the bandits he met on his way home.

Both he and Chu Jinshan knew this matter well, but Chu Zhaoxin believed it to be true and secretly agreed.

But one thing is that Murong Xiao did not know that Chu Zhao was so ugly before. The moment he took off the hijab on the wedding night, he was really frightened by that face.

Later, he simply used this as an excuse and justifiably ignored Chu Zhao.

Of course, Chu Zhao is stupid, but the court is not that stupid. He also knows that the court cannot completely believe his words, but with this story as a cover, everyone will not openly quarrel with each other.

Hearing Fang Weixian's question, Murong Xiao knew that he was curious about Chu Zhao's face, so he told him what Chu Zhao had lied to him about.

"Master Fang is right. The princess was indeed a little dark before, but she found a beautifying herb some time ago and her face has been cured. What you see now is her original appearance."

Fang Weixian couldn't believe it: "It's incredible that there are such miraculous herbs in the world that can bring about transformational changes in people."

"Yes, I didn't believe it at first." Murong Xiao said, "But the princess has lived in Baiyunguan since she was a child, and she did learn a lot of skills from the immortals there."

"It's amazing. Your Majesty is so lucky!" Fang Weixian exclaimed.

"It is not only the blessing of this king, but also the blessing of Ling Ci!" Murong Xiao boldly brought the topic back to the Fang family, "If this king had not married this ugly woman out of benevolence, I am afraid that Mrs. Fang's illness would have been beyond repair. Oh my god."

"..."

The Fang family father and son were immediately speechless, saying in their hearts that King Jingnan had gone to great lengths to repay his family's kindness, even to the point of losing his face.

But what to do, what they said is right. If it weren't for Princess Jingnan, their family would have been organizing a funeral at this moment.

The father and son looked at each other and had no choice but to stand up and bow down to Murong Xiao to express their gratitude.

Murong Xiao accepted the courtesy from the two of them with peace of mind, thinking that these two old foxes still wanted to take advantage of me.

But he didn't realize that he was so good at helping Chu Zhao lie now, even smoother than Chu Zhao himself.

If this continues, he will believe it himself.

The Fang family father and son sat back down again.

Fang Weixian took a sip of tea and tentatively raised another question: "Not long ago, the court received a secret report saying that several women were kidnapped by bandits in a village at the junction of Yun and Shu. Fortunately, Princess Jingnan came to the rescue. After being rescued, I was able to return home safely. Since the prince said that the princess had gone out to look for medicine, the official wondered whether the princess happened to be looking for medicine in the mountains and forests over there and saved those women by the way."

Murong Xiao's heart skipped a beat, but he said calmly: "How come this king didn't hear about this?"

"Is it because the princess is afraid of the prince's blame and doesn't dare to tell the prince?"

"Impossible." Murong Xiao glared, "The princess went out to look for medicine, and the prince sent a bodyguard and maid to accompany her. Even if she didn't tell her, how could the servants dare to hide it? Furthermore, Shuzhou is no longer my fiefdom. The princess has always been cautious and sensible, and would never leave the fiefdom without authorization."

This is strange. Fang Weixian wondered, "If she wasn't the princess, why did the villagers think she was the princess?" "

"It must be that people in the rivers and lakes are chivalrous and righteous. They are afraid that the bandits will retaliate against the people, so they deliberately use the name of the princess to scare them so that they don't dare to do evil again."

Murong Xiao blurted out without thinking, and after finishing speaking, he realized that this was a lie used by Chu Zhao to fool him.

Forget it, just talk nonsense. It’s just to fool people anyway. It’s fine if he doesn’t believe it.

Fang Weixian saw that what he said was flawless and worried that if he continued to ask questions, he would doubt himself, so he stopped talking.

I thought that King Jingnan had never been so cunning before. When the old prince died, he was weak and was manipulated by all parties. His life was very difficult. How could he become so powerful and scheming after not seeing each other for several years? ?

Is this someone who has been hired as an adviser?

It seems that I have to find time to go to the palace to find out the truth.

Just as he was thinking about it, the old housekeeper came in from the outside happily: "Master, the old lady is awake. She heard that the eldest young master is back and is anxious to see the eldest young master!"

"woke up?"

"really?"

"Quick, go and have a look."

The father and son were surprised and happy, and Fang Weixian couldn't care about anything else. He hurriedly supported his old father and went to the old lady's room with Murong Xiao.

Before entering the door, I heard a weak voice calling continuously: "Xian'er, Xian'er..."

Fang Weixian's heart tightened and tears burst into his eyes. He let go of his old father's hand and stumbled towards his mother's bed.

"Mother..." He ran over, knelt down beside the bed with a plop, grabbed his mother's hand and put it against his face, "Mother, the child is unfilial and failed to come back earlier..."

The old lady turned her head to look at him, tears streaming down her face.

Murong Xiao then came over and saw Chu Zhao standing at the end of the bed with a tired look on his face. The Yun family's grandfather and grandson were wiping the gold needles one by one with a white cloth and then carefully placing them back in the box.

"Chu Zhao, how are you?" Murong Xiao walked up to Chu Zhao and asked in a low voice.

Chu Zhao glanced at him, suddenly tilted his body and fell onto him.

Murong Xiao was startled and hurriedly reached out to catch her and hugged her, saying repeatedly: "Chu Zhao, Chu Zhao, what's wrong with you?"

Chu Zhao's eyes were closed tightly, as if he had fainted.

Fang Weixian and Fang Guanru, who came next, were also frightened and asked the princess what was going on.

The old patriarch of the Yun family came over to take her pulse and said, "The princess spent all her energy trying to save the old lady, causing her vitality to be severely damaged. I'm afraid it will take ten and a half days to recover."

When the Fang family father and son heard this, they were moved and apologetic at the same time, and hurriedly asked the old patriarch: "What should we do now?"

The old patriarch said: "Let's find a quiet room for the princess to lie down first, and let me give her a few injections to see if she can wake up."

"Okay, okay, just follow the old patriarch." Fang Weixian hurriedly called the housekeeper and asked him to lead the prince, princess and the old patriarch to the guest room.

Yun Qi naturally stayed to take care of the patient.

Murong Xiao was so panicked that he personally carried Chu Zhao to the guest room and carefully placed him on the bed.

The old patriarch asked the housekeeper for a few more things and asked him to prepare them quickly.

After the housekeeper left, Murong Xiao sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at Chu Zhao's bloodless face. He was about to ask the old patriarch if she was okay. Chu Zhao suddenly opened his eyes and smiled at him: "Your Majesty, this I'll stay at Fang's house for a few days and won't leave."
