Zhao Wenqing wanted to return to the capital, but Zhang Xiangyu couldn't make any sense, so he had no choice but to knock him out, and then sent an urgent report to Murong Wenyu.

Although Murong Wenyu, as a left servant, shouldn't be in charge of general affairs, but Zhang Xiangyu knew that Murong Wenyu was the most reliable person in Tao Jianran's faction.Now that the situation is urgent and Tao Jianran can't be found, he has no choice but to make a bad move.

If you ask Murong Wenyu for help, if you are blamed, at most you will be charged with trespassing, which is better than Zhao Wenqing returning to Beijing without authorization.

It's just that it takes at least half a month for this letter to come and go.Can't make Zhao Wenqing faint like this all the time, it seems that some special measures have to be taken...

At the same time, the atmosphere in the Zhao family was very strange.

Zhao Li stood in front of Mrs. Zhao, who was already seriously ill, with a troubled expression, a bit of hesitation, a bit of pain, and a bit of happiness.

Mrs. Zhao was lying on the bed struggling painfully, she seemed to have something to say, but she could only make a few faint breaths.

Soon, the eldest son came in with a bowl of medicine, his expression was much normal, like a son who was really sick, but the words on his mouth were: "Father, the medicine can't be used any longer, I have to let mother wait until my younger brother is sick." Only when you come back, let mother drink warming and tonic medicine first."

"Hmm." Zhao Li asked his eldest son after watching his wife drink the medicine, "What does the Prime Minister say?"

"Father, don't worry, Prime Minister Weng keeps his word. He has already promised to trade my younger brother's future for father's future." As he spoke, he also took out a secret letter with Weng Yuanji's private seal from his pocket, "Look, Father. , written in black and white, nothing can go wrong."

After Zhao Li read the letter, a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "Hmph! That unfilial son, let's see how I punish him after he comes back!"

At this moment, Zhao Li was blinded by hatred.It never occurred to him that if Zhao Wenqing returned to Beijing without authorization, the entire Zhao family would suffer!He is a little Zhao Li, how will he bear the wrath of the empress?

It never occurred to him that he had already been rejected by the empress, even if Weng Yuanji could help him return to officialdom, how could his life be easier in the future?

What Weng Yuanji did was really secretive. When the secret guards went to investigate, although they found Weng Yuanji's actions, they didn't have any evidence.

Even the private letter in Zhao Li's hand was fake!

By the time the hidden guard reported back, Tao Yanran and his party were ready to set off to continue southward.

Tao Jianran looked at the news brought back by the dark guard with a cold look in his eyes.He thought Zhao Li was just stupid, but he didn't expect to do such a cruel thing!This kind of stupid and ruthless person is really disgusting.

And Qi Bohan was extremely disappointed with Weng Yuanji's actions.Since when did Weng Yuanji, who has always cared about the world, become such an unscrupulous treacherous man?

Weng Yuanji knew Zhao Wenqing's importance to Ruichao, but just because he belonged to Tao Jianran's faction, he wanted to make such calculations!

With a dark face, Qi Bohan ordered to the secret guard: "Weng Yuanji did those things, collect evidence secretly, don't startle the snake for the time being."

Now that he and Tao Yanran are leaving the capital, it is a good time to lure the snake out of the hole.He wants to see what else Weng Yuanji can do!

And Tao Jianran also unfolded a blank imperial decree, and wrote it immediately.

Since Zhao Li wants to see his son so much, let him see him!

The empress sympathized with the separation of the Zhao family's blood relatives and felt the pain of missing their relatives, so she specially decreed that Zhao Li, his wife, and the eldest son's family of three should move to Yizhou. Without an edict, they are not allowed to leave forever!

There is also Mrs. Zhao's illness, Tao Jianran sent the imperial physician to diagnose and treat it carefully, to find out what the illness is.If someone intentionally kills his wife and harms his son, he will never forgive him lightly!

The imperial decree was sent back to the capital on the second day. When Zhao Li learned about it, he panicked: "What should I do? You must not let His Majesty know that she is not sick..." but poisoned!

"Father, the only solution now is..." The eldest son made a gesture around his neck with his hand.

"You want to kill the imperial physician?! This is not acceptable!" Zhao Li didn't dare to kill the person sent by Tao Jianran, and quickly shook his head like a rattle.

The eldest son gave him a disdainful look, and said: "As long as the mother is gone, it will be useless if the imperial doctor comes."

When Zhao Li heard this, his heart skipped a beat, as if he realized for the first time that his eldest son was actually such a cruel and merciless person.

"Father, don't hesitate any longer." The eldest son said, and handed Zhao Li a dark pill, "After using this, mother won't be in such pain anymore, and our family won't have to be harshly criticized by His Majesty."

Zhao Li hesitated for a while, but his own life must be more important than his wife's life, since he can only choose one of the two now, don't blame him for being cruel.

Zhao Li took the pill, turned around and went to see Mrs. Zhao alone.

Mrs. Zhao is now haggard and exudes a foul smell.Seeing Zhao Li, his eyes were full of hatred, but his body couldn't move.

Zhao Li walked in front of her, seeming to be repenting: "Ma'am, I was also forced to do nothing. After you go down, cross the Naihe Bridge obediently, and forget about the future and the past."

Mrs. Zhao realized something, her emotions instantly became agitated, and her body began to tremble.

After Zhao Li finished speaking, he was about to forcefully stuff the pill into Mrs. Zhao's mouth.

Suddenly, he stopped and fell to the ground.

The dark guards in dark colors flashed past, and took away the stone and the pill that fell on the ground.

The imperial physician arrived soon, and the unbearable scandal of the Zhao family was finally exposed in every detail.

In the capital, the Zhao family instantly became the object of ridicule and spurn by everyone.

After Zhao Li woke up, he learned that his deeds had been exposed, and his face was ashen.

"Father, the capital city is not as good as it used to be. Why don't we go to Yizhou to avoid the limelight. If the little brother is lucky enough to make meritorious service in the future, maybe he can get His Majesty's grace." The eldest son still analyzed calmly.

"But if he knew that we were planning on him like this, he would still..." Zhao Li was interrupted before he could finish his sentence.

"As long as we don't tell about this matter, little brother will never know!"

"And your mother..." When Zhao Li mentioned Mrs. Zhao, his face was full of guilt.

After being rescued by the imperial physician, Mrs. Zhao is fine. As long as she takes the medicine on time and removes the residual poison in her body, she will be able to recover.

"Mom, she doesn't want to stay in Yizhou forever." The eldest son's words convinced Zhao Li again.

So before Mrs. Zhao's body fully recovered, the family moved to Yizhou in a hurry.

However, Zhao Li and the others wanted to deceive Zhao Wenqing, how could Tao Jianran allow his confidant to be tricked like this?After the incident, Murong Wenyu was asked to tell Zhao Wenqing what happened in a letter.

When Zhao Wenqing received the letter, it was already a month later.

Zhao Wenqing was forced to stay at the border by Zhang Xiangyu for so long, and when he saw Zhang Xiangyu approaching, he immediately exploded, stood up awkwardly, hid in a corner, and shouted angrily: "What are you doing again!"

Zhang Xiangyu innocently raised the letter in Yang's hand: "Master Murong sent you a letter."

Hearing that it was Murong Wenyu's letter, Zhao Wenqing jumped over like a monkey. After snatching the letter, he hid in a corner, opening the letter while saying harsh words: "It must be the letter asking me to go back to Beijing. I want to report you to the adults! Hmph!"

However, Zhao Wenqing's lively expression turned pale instantly after seeing the contents of the letter.

Zhang Xiangyu's heart skipped a beat: "What's the matter? Is Auntie okay?"

If Mrs. Zhao died during this period, and Zhao Wenqing did not see his mother for the last time because of his obstruction, then he would become a sinner!Zhao Wenqing will never forgive him!

Seeing that Zhao Wenqing didn't answer, Zhang Xiangyu didn't care too much, so he stepped forward and grabbed the letter paper.After reading it, I quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

But Zhang Xiangyu quickly suppressed the happiness in his heart, and persuaded Zhao Wenqing with a heavy face: "Don't take it too seriously, Your Majesty let you know this, just to prevent you from being deceived, there is no other meaning. I will follow up with you in the future." They get along, just be careful."

"They are my own father and brother." Everyone said that a tiger's poison does not eat its offspring, Zhao Wenqing couldn't figure it out, why Zhao Li wanted to plot against him like this, why was he so cruel that he even got his wife off his hands?

Zhang Xiangyu took Zhao Wenqing into his arms calmly, patted his back lightly, and comforted him: "Don't think too much, they will arrive in Yizhou soon, and I will accompany you to meet them in person. ask clearly."

"I'll come back after I go to see my mother, I don't want to see them." Zhao Wenqing's voice was muffled, as if his nose was stuffed up.

"If you don't want to see them, you don't see them. They are only one-year-old common people, and they can still defy General Zhao's wishes." Zhang Xiangyu said all his good words, and stayed with Zhao Wenqing for a whole night before calming him down.

At the same time, Tao Yanran's family also came to the most prosperous place in the middle of Rui Dynasty: Jinling.

After passing Jinling and going south, there are only Guangyi and Ning'an whose economies are comparable to those of this place.

Now it is mid-November, considering that the economic conditions are not so good going further south, Tao Yanran and Qi Bohan decided to spend the new year in Jinling before leaving.

They lived temporarily in Lianzhou, the largest state capital in Jinling, and the house they rented this time was much larger and more comfortable.

The four children have passed the initial freshness. When they came to the new house, they just looked around curiously and did not run around.

Tao Jianran was even more depressed than the children, this time the journey took more than ten days, no matter how comfortable the carriage was, Tao Jianran still felt weak.

Moreover, the weather is cold now, and there is no place to take a bath on the road. As a southerner who takes a bath every day, Tao Yanran just feels like he just walked out of a garbage dump.

"No, I have to take a shower first." Tao Yanran ran to the bathroom as soon as he entered the door.

Qi Bohan followed him casually: "It's just right, let's wash together."

Qi Bohan has been in the carriage for more than ten days and can't do anything, but Qi Bohan can't stand it anymore!
