Shen Yuantang's face was still furious, and he shouted angrily: "Who allowed you to answer, Honglian, slap your face!"

The maid beside Shen Yuantang raised her hand and slapped Bai Qingling.

"I beat you to let you know what is superior and inferior. Now in the palace, I am the master and you are the servant. You should be thankful that the prince still has some affection for you, otherwise I would have called the pawnbroker to sell you out long ago."

Bai Qingling clenched her fists so hard that her teeth were about to be crushed.

Shen Yuantang, just wait for me. Although I can't touch you now, but...

"I'm annoyed when I see your face, open your mouth twenty."

"Yes!"

Shen Yuantang felt much better after hearing the powerful slap and seeing Bai Qingling's angry but silent expression.

That afternoon, the child born to Shen Yuantang developed a high fever.

Shen Yuantang was just about to go out when the maid came to her in a panic.

"My lady, the young master suddenly vomited while playing, and then he developed a high fever."

Shen Yuantang was so scared that his face turned pale.

"Go call the court doctor immediately."

The old woman said in panic, "I called, but the doctor is not at home. He said he went out to buy herbs."

"Then go outside and call a doctor. Take the palace's sign and go into the palace to call the imperial physician!" It would be safer to call more doctors.

Shen Yuantang went to his son's room and looked at the little boy lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his body red from the fever. He was so anxious that he couldn't stop crying.

"Go borrow a few doctors from other palaces."

The old woman reminded him, "It's easy to borrow something else, but it's definitely not easy to borrow from the doctor. What if... they're definitely afraid of blaming us, so why don't we go to the Regent's Palace to borrow."

Shen Yuantang's eyes lit up. With Shen Lanxi's power, there must always be an imperial physician in the mansion.

"Go quickly and tell the people in the Regent's Palace to call all the doctors in the palace!"

"Princess, it's a mess over there!"

Bai Qingling sneered, and just as the corner of her mouth rose, it pulled the wound.

"It's just a few illnesses. It doesn't cost her life. It's a good deal for her."

"Princess, you are so kind!"

Bai Qingling said coldly: "If the prince was not about to go to the southwest, I would really like to see some blood for that idiot!"

It’s a pity that her every move is probably being monitored, so she can’t make any big moves.

……

Wei Dongzhu walked towards his residence as usual after handing over the person.

It was already dark, and if it weren't for the curfew, he could have come back later.

"General..."

The strange yet familiar voices made Wei Dong stiffen.

It couldn't be her. That place is thousands of miles away from the capital, there's no way she could come.

"General, I am Qiao Niang."

This name shattered Wei Dongzhu's fantasy. He turned around expressionlessly, feeling more panicked than ever before.

Qiao Niang walked out of the shadows holding a child. She took a few cautious steps forward and when she saw that it was really Wei Dongzhu, she immediately burst into tears.

"General, I didn't expect Qiao Niang to be alive to see you..."

Wei Dongzhu's last bit of luck was gone.

"How did you come?"

Qiao Niang wiped her tears hastily and pushed the child forward.

"Yan'er, call father quickly."

The child was pushed two steps, looked up timidly, and then ran back to his mother.

"Mother…"

Qiao Niang hugged the child distressedly: "General, Yan'er was frightened along the way."

Wei Dongzhu took a deep breath, looked around, and seeing no one around, he immediately said, "We'll talk about it after we get back!"

When Qiao Niang saw Wei Dongzhu left after he finished speaking, she gritted her teeth, picked up the child, and quickly chased after him.

After returning home

"You said that you were brought to the capital by someone?" Wei Dongzhu asked sharply.

Qiao Niang lowered her head in fear and trembled as she said, "I don't know those people. They covered my eyes and my child's eyes all the way. I took the opportunity to secretly look at them. They all wore masks on their faces. They were very scary."

Thinking of the appearance of those people, Qiao Niang couldn't stop shaking.

The child named Yan'er also began to cry softly out of fear.

Looking at the mother and son huddled together, Wei Dongzhu tried hard to restrain himself no matter how angry he was.

"Since they dumped you at the door of my house, they must know everything about you and me. These days, you and your son should stay at home and don't go out. When I find a suitable opportunity, I will have someone send you back to the northwest!"

Qiao Niang responded in a low voice: "Okay."

Wei Dongzhu returned to his room gloomily. Since those who brought them mother and son here did not kill them, they must have other purposes.

Although he didn't want to think too much about it, he had to admit that those people probably had only one purpose, which was to destroy his relationship with Shen Lanxi.

Except for a few former members of the Wei Family Army around him and his cousin, no one knew of Qiao Niang's existence.

There were many people in the capital who wanted to break up him and Shen Lanxi, and Zhou Ruyuan was the first to bear the brunt.

Why didn't he just send Qiao Niang and her son to Shen Lanxi?

Wei Dongzhu had a splitting headache from thinking about it. He got up early, carefully settled Qiao Niang and her son, and then hurried into the palace.

Fortunately, he left all his old subordinates in the palace to protect Shen Lanxi, otherwise there would be more people who knew about it.

Shen Lanxi saw Wei Dongzhu a little earlier than usual.

"You came very early today. Could it be that you knew that the palace chef had prepared more breakfast today?"

Wei Dongzhu's eyes flashed, and he thought, she still wanted to joke with him, and she must not know about the matter between Qiaoniang and her son.

"I went to bed early last night, and was wondering if I could have dinner at your place?" Wei Dongzhu joked.

Shen Lanxi turned around and ordered: "Add a set of bowls and chopsticks!"

Looking at Shen Lanxi's appearance, Wei Dongzhu breathed a sigh of relief.

"By this time tomorrow, Zhou Ruyuan will probably have left the capital."

Shen Lanxi: "Keep an eye on it."

Wei Dongzhu: "I escorted him a hundred miles away in the dark."

Shen Lanxi: "When you come back, prepare to set off for Shu. I'll let Xiao Fang assist you. You two will be in the spotlight and the dark. You must take Shu with the least casualties."

Wei Dongzhu nodded and asked, "What about Qianzhou? Who's going?"

Shen Lanxi: "What do you think?"

Wei Dongzhu thought about it seriously and said, "Zhao Zheng and Qian Feng, let them take the Eagle Camp and the Leopard Camp over for training."

Shen Lanxi nodded: "Okay!"

While they were having their meal, the two men finalized the matters concerning Shu and Qian.

Afterwards, Shen Lanxi went to court and Wei Dongzhu took over.

……

Shen Yuantang's child had repeated high fevers, and even the imperial physician was helpless.

Zhou Ruyu didn't expect the situation to be so serious. When he was worried and annoyed, he thought of Yaowang Valley.

"I will go to the palace and you need to take good care of the child."

He wanted to find his mother. He had seen his mother meeting with people from Medicine King Valley before.

Shen Yuantang actually already had a candidate in mind.

"Your Highness, Medicine King Valley is too far away. Our child can't wait for the trip back and forth. Why don't we ask the Imperial Master to come and take a look at our child?"

The Imperial Master could even cure His Majesty, so he could definitely reduce her son’s high fever.

Zhou Ruyuan frowned immediately: "The Imperial Master is taking care of my father and is always by his side. If I call the Imperial Master here, who will be able to take responsibility if something happens to my father?"
