After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Chapter 399 Xiao Fengxian raised her well

Xue Ziyu dared to yell at Wei Zi, but did not dare to rush into Zhou Xianji.

Her face was green and white, and she staggered out of Jibei Palace, supported by her nanny.

Only after turning around the palace alley did she sob and burst into tears. She tightly grasped the hand of the nanny beside her, and trembled with fear and anger, saying: "Did you hear? Shan'er is gone. It was the prince who killed Shan'er..."

Nanny Zhang gently stroked her back and comforted her: "Madam has been struggling for so long, it's time to wake up. The second girl did all the bad things and even participated in the conspiracy. She didn't die unjustly!" You, for the sake of an adopted second girl, separated from the Duke and the Crown Prince, and turned against your own daughter, how unworthy it is!"

"Don't you even understand me?" If Wei Ling remarries, I will never recognize Wei Zi as her daughter again!"

She left in a rage.

Nanny Zhang sighed and had no choice but to leave the palace.

Send it to the North Palace.

Qing Ju helped Wei Zi to the imperial concubine's bed and brought a wooden comb and medicine box over.

She carefully combed her long hair neatly with a wooden comb, and said distressedly: "You have kept such long hair for many years, but you are not willing to cut it... Madam, too, actually beat you for something like Wei Fei's fan, this fingernail pinching Marks and palm prints, the slave feels distressed after seeing them..."

Wei Zi lowered her eyelashes and stopped crying, but her eyes were still red.

She thought that when it came to Xue Ziyu, she should respect her from now on, but she would never be able to love her again.

Zhou Xianji opened the medicine box and personally prepared the ointment for Wei Zi.

He wiped Wei Zi's wound clean with a wet handkerchief, and then applied ointment to the wound bit by bit: "This is a prescription my mother and concubine brought from the grassland. The scar-removing effect is even better than the medicine from the imperial doctor. After applying it for about seven or eight days, the scar will disappear, so Xiao Zi doesn’t have to worry about any damage to her appearance.”

Wei Zi lowered her head: "Thank you, Your Highness."

She raised her hand to reject Qing Ju and other palace people, and asked Zhou Xianji: "Did your Highness really kill Wei Feishan?"

"I didn't kill her." Zhou Xianji put down the medicine spoon and put the medicinal materials into categories. "The poison made her throat mute, ruined her face, disabled her hands, and threw her into the street as a beggar." went."

Wei Zi was stunned.

Zhou Xianji realized later: "But did it scare you? I just can't bear to see her target you repeatedly. In the past, when you were kidnapped, she occupied the magpie's nest, occupied your peony garden, and threw away your things. Since then, I have wanted to kill her since then. This time she was kicked out by Xue Shangshu, which was the best opportunity to eliminate the roots. But I didn't want her to die so easily, so I came up with this method to torture her. Thinking about it, she is probably very alive now. It hurts so much.”

Wei Zi picked up the palm mirror.

The sunset shines in from the Qian screen window, the light and shadow are soft and graceful.

She looked in the mirror. Except for the palm prints and pinch marks, the face in the mirror was still crystal clear, white and delicate.

She suddenly remembered that when she and Wei Feishan first met in Shanyin County, she had instigated Xiao Dujuan to ruin her appearance.

In the midsummer of that year, her face was burned horribly by boiling water, and it was Xiao Fengxian who carried her to the mountain gate to ask for medicine.

Wei Feishan is very cruel.

She had known this for a long time.

She turned to Zhou Xianji and said seriously: "Your Highness avenges me. If I think you are cruel, am I still a thing? Of course people should have kind thoughts, but they cannot have kind thoughts for everyone. Like Wei Fei It is not an exaggeration to slap such a wicked person to death a hundred times. It is her fault that she has fallen into this situation, and it has nothing to do with His Highness."

Zhou Xianji looked at her.

Xiao Zi knows good and evil and distinguishes right from wrong.

He didn't know what she and Xiao Fengxian had experienced in Lingzhou, but he knew that Xiao Fengxian raised her well.

He was jealous, but grateful.

A cold autumn rain.

As the chrysanthemums fade, the weather gets colder.

Qing Ju found Wei Zi worriedly and lowered her voice: "I heard from Xiao Xia Zi that His Highness the Crown Prince coughed several times last night, as if he was back to the time before his body recovered."

Wei Zi was stunned. She looked at the thin falling snow outside the window, and Shuixing's eyes were filled with worry.

She put down the book in her hand, stood up and said, "I'll pack a hand warmer for him."

As soon as he finished speaking, a little palace maid hurriedly came in to report that the Duke of Zhen Guo was here.

Wei Zi was the concubine, so she met Wei Ling in the side hall.

"Dad!" After seeing the gift, Wei Zi hurriedly greeted him, "Why did you suddenly come to see me today?"

Wei Ling patted her arm, and there was more thought in his rough eyebrows: "His Majesty summoned me to the palace today, and your grandmother asked me to stop by to see you. Here, these are the cakes and snacks specially brought for you."

There are not so many cumbersome rules in Jibei Palace.

There is no need to carefully inspect food brought from outside.

Wei Zi motioned for the green tangerine to be put into the warehouse, and asked with concern: "Why has His Majesty summoned you?"

Wei Ling sat down, picked up the hot tea and blew it, and suddenly sighed heavily.

Wei Zi's brows furrowed slightly: "Dad?"

Wei Ling had no intention of using the tea, so he put the tea lid on and said seriously: "Our family has four generations and three princes. All our ancestors have been loyal to the Zhou Kingdom. The late emperor appreciated it and appointed your grandfather as a general to lead the two hundred thousand troops in the capital. Here we are. In my generation, I followed the old system and commanded the troops in the capital for Your Majesty to protect the safety of the capital. But Your Majesty suddenly summoned me today and said that he wanted to make me a Taiwei."

"Lieutenant..." Wei Zi murmured.

She has learned about the official positions of this dynasty.

The Taiwei of the Great Zhou Kingdom sounds very nice when it comes to being promoted to the first rank, but in fact he has no real power in his hands.

She said: "rising brightly and descending secretly?"

Wei Ling nodded: "His Majesty deprived himself of military power in this way and handed over the 200,000 soldiers and horses in the capital to his favorites. Xiao Zi, although I am a rough man, I can also guess the reason. Change. Jin Ying married the princess, and you married into the East Palace. Our family has become more and more powerful in the past two years, and your Majesty is trying to beat us."

Wei Zi nodded, but thought in his heart, I'm afraid it's much more than that.

The emperor is so narrow-minded that even his son would be jealous.

Among the princes who came to the capital, Zhou Xianji showed the most amazing talent and beauty. However, the concubine's natal family was also a powerful minister in charge of 200,000 troops near the capital.

The emperor would probably have trouble sleeping and eating every time he thought of this.

He wants to reduce power.

What was cut was not only the Zhenguo Palace, but also Zhou Xianji's power.

Thinking of this, she comforted: "Dad, don't be sad. If you hand over the military power, you will hand it over. If it can exchange for our family to live well, it is better than anything else."

"That's what I thought too." Wei Ling nodded, "Speaking of which, your mother suddenly found me a few days ago and seemed to want to remarry me. Xiaozi, what do you think this is?"

Wei Zi smiled.

My mother is arrogant and always wants to find a better man than her father.

But in the capital city, there was no other man who doted on her as much as her father did.

I thought I had hit a wall outside, so I came back to look for my father.

She said seriously: "How can I, as a daughter, interfere in the marriage between father and mother? This matter still depends on father's own wishes. There is only one thing, mother does not like Jing'er. If father and mother remarry, don't do it. Let her embarrass Jing'er."

Wei Ling looked at Wei Zi with a myriad of emotions in her heart.

He really couldn't figure out why Tzuyu wouldn't like such a good daughter-in-law.

Instead, you have to pamper the one who crawls into bed and plots rebellion!
