Chapter 64

Chu Yan stood in front of Lu Xinyue's bed with a face as cold as ice, listening to Yunxi telling what had happened while wiping away tears.

It turned out that after Zhao Wu went to Xijiang, Mrs. Lu began to be sick in bed. At the beginning, she had a poor appetite. After a few days, she got to the point where she vomited whatever she ate. The doctor said that she had a bad stomach and needed to be recuperated. But taking the medicine every day only stopped vomiting, and he couldn't eat.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Wu went to Xijiang, and Zhao Qingyun was in charge of the family, and Zhao Qingyun took advantage of his father's absence and no one to control him, so he lingered in Liuxiang, Huajie, and Mazhangtai all day long.

Lu Xinyue was ill for seven whole days before Yunxi finally met Zhao Qingyun in the mansion.

Hearing that his wife was ill, Zhao Qingyun asked casually, "What illness?"

Yunxi replied as the doctor said, "Madam has a stomach problem, and needs to—"

Before she finished speaking, Zhao Qingyun impatiently changed into an outer shirt and went out, "If you have a stomach problem, you have to come to me even if you have a small matter, am I a doctor? This kind of disease is not a disease at all. Let her be well-behaved!"

It turned out that he just came back to get a few clothes, because he stayed away for seven days and returned home secretly, fearing that the second and third wives would catch him, but unexpectedly the short-sighted maid delayed him, and he hadn't walked out of the gate yet He was drunk.

"Master, where are you going?" Wei yelled coldly from behind, his face ashen, "I haven't come back for seven days, and now I come back with great difficulty, without showing a single face. Do you still remember that there are wives and children waiting for you at home?" Is it?"

She gave birth to a son for Zhao Qingyun seven years ago, so she has a high status in the mansion, otherwise how dare she ride on Lu's head?

At that time Zhao Qingyun smiled a little guilty, but the Wei family used to be able to rely on favors and pride, but now that they have passed away, they are not as beautiful as before. Such an arrogant posture quickly angered Zhao Qingyun.

His face darkened, "Am I the master or are you the master? It's up to me. Do you really think you are the main wife of my Zhao family?"

Wei's face turned pale, she never thought that the person who did something wrong would use her identity to talk about it instead.

She stood there in a daze, watching Zhao Qingyun stepping out the door without hesitation, the hatred in her eyes grew stronger.

She gave birth to a son for him, and put all her heart and soul into stepping down Lu Xinyue step by step, thinking that it would be hard work to guard her husband and son, but now he reminded her to remember her identity.

After Zhao Qingyun left, he was away from home for several days.

Wei Shi is old and decrepit, and he doesn't love him anymore; Yu Shi has been in the door for three years, and his freshness is no longer as good as those enchanting and beautiful women outside, let alone his regular wife, whom he has long since run away.

Wei was annoyed that Zhao Qingyun used the name of concubine to pressure her, and she was very happy when she learned that Lu Xinyue was ill.

Get sick, get sick, it's best if you can't get sick, and when you die, everyone will be happy.

At that time, she was the legitimate Mrs. Zhao.

Not to mention Yu Shi, the second wife didn't say anything, what's the matter with her?

Later Zhao Wu came back, but he was poisoned in Xijiang, and he couldn't even get out of bed, and the whole house was surrounded by him. How could anyone remember the non-existent woman in the backyard?
Not long after Zhao Wu got better, he began to fight for a piece of the world in the court again. The struggle with Mu Qingzhuo was always ups and downs. He went back and forth between the court and the study all day long, and told people outside not to disturb him if there was nothing important to do. .

Lu's illness became more and more serious. Seeing that it was getting weaker day by day, the doctor didn't know what evil had caught him, so he came back to comfort Yunxi and said, "Ma'am, there is no special medicine that needs to be taken for this illness. You can take good care of your stomach and intestines." Get better."

But Yunxi didn't see Lu's getting better day by day, only saw her lose weight day by day, eat less than cats every day, and finally survived to this day.

Since Lu fell out of favor, his mood has declined, and he no longer went to the main hall to eat, and now he is sick in bed and no one comes to visit him.

Yunxi wanted to beg Zhao Wu again and again, but was driven back before entering the main courtyard, saying that the Duke was very busy inside, how could he have the time to receive a little girl like her?

Yunxi cried and said that the eldest lady was ill and needed to notify the Duke, and the gatekeeper laughed happily, "Is the eldest lady ill? If she is sick, why would you notify her? Don't say that she is not ill, even if she is You shouldn't come to the Duke when you're sick, you should go to the doctor."

Zhao Wu would never take care of things like this when someone was sick in the mansion, and besides, he was very busy these days, so the boy naturally didn't dare to let anyone in to disturb him.

When Chu Yan heard this, Zhao Qingyun also came in from the door, with an embarrassed expression and evasive eyes.

She gritted her teeth in anger, seeing Lu Shi's appearance, and seeing Zhao Qingyun's current glamorous appearance, she wished to drag this cruel man out and behead him.

Zhao Qingyun has passed by and stands, with a handsome face and a refined temperament, just looking at him does have the temperament of a handsome young man.

If a man at this age is good at dressing up, he will have a mature charm in it, and Zhao Qingyun was born rich and noble, knows how to dress, and has a handsome face, he is also a very attractive man.

This kind of advantage made him pay too much attention to appearance since he was a child. After the appearance of the woman at home got old, he began to look for exotic flowers and plants outside again, wishing to take root in the gentle hometown every day and let go of his love.

Chu Yan looked at his appearance, and heard Lu Shi's heavy breathing, her heart felt like a knife.

Although Mrs. Lu didn't have a deep mother-daughter relationship with her, when she came back, Mrs. Lu held her hand to greet her, wiped her tears and told her to suffer in the palace, and repeatedly asked her to stay in the palace. Be cautious?
She may not have that deep affection for Lu Shi, but Lu Shi regards her as his heart and soul. This is the flesh that fell from her body, and she is the only one in her life.

Chu Yan looked at Zhao Qingyun coldly, "When I'm not at home, is this how father treats mother?"

With questioning and sullen voice in his voice, Zhao Qingyun glanced at her uncomfortably, but found that his daughter's expression was terribly cold.

He didn't know why he felt a little guilty, especially when he accidentally glanced at the shapeless woman on the bed, his face turned pale.

Even he didn't expect that Lu Xinyue would be sick like this.

Didn't the doctor say it was a bad stomach?How come... it looks like it's dying?
He hastily explained, "Chu Yan, you misunderstood—"

"Father, please remember the courtesy of a monarch and a minister. Now my daughter is not only a member of the Zhao family, but also a member of His Royal Highness." Chu Yan interrupted him mercilessly, and did not give him any good looks.

Zhao Qingyun lowered his head in embarrassment, "Yes, I was rude...but I didn't know that she was so seriously ill..."

"Don't know, or don't you want to know at all?" Chu Yan sneered, her face darkened, and she turned to Yunxi again, "Go and call the doctor in the house, I want to see what kind of quack doctor this is, who can treat such a serious problem." It’s also called a minor illness that doesn’t cause any serious problems!”

When Yunxi went to invite the doctor, Chu Yan ignored Zhao Qingyun, turned around and sat by the bed, held Lu Shi's hand, and called her mother in a low voice, "What do you think?"

Lu Shi's eyes were dim, and it was difficult to focus. He just panted heavily, shook his head with difficulty, and tried to smile with the corners of his lips.

But it took her a lot of effort to laugh like this, and what she finally showed was an expression uglier than crying.

Chu Yan's eye sockets felt hot for some reason.

In the past when I returned to the mansion, everyone asked her if she was getting along well with others in the palace, and told her how to treat the crown prince and serve her aunt. The Zhao family won the honor.

But only Lu Shi would care about whether she was happy or not, and would silently wipe away tears, regretting the decision to send her to the palace.

Lu Shi really loved her with all his heart.

Even if she can't be by her side every day like Zhao Ronghua, Lu's heart is always tied to her alone.

Seeing that Lu Shi had reached the end of the lamp, he was still trying to smile so as not to worry her.

Chu Yan's hands trembled a little. I don't know if it was because she hated the Zhao family's cold-blooded and heartless people, or because she felt sorry for this woman who was buried here all her life.

I hated Zhao Qingyun even more in my heart.

Looking at Chu Yan's back, Zhao Qingyun was suddenly frightened for some reason.

He is sentimental and ruthless. He can be obsessed with the people or things he likes for a while to the point of offering the stars and moons in the sky, but once he loses interest, he immediately abandons them like shoes.

Similarly, for this daughter, he still pampered and loved this daughter in the first two years after he got Mingzhu, but later, as the mood of becoming a father gradually faded after the birth of his precious son, he began to continue to play around.

But today's Chu Yan is no longer the gentle and generous lady of the family in the past. When she came back in the past, she could act virtuous and quiet, but now there is no need for that at all.

Especially in the face of such a heartless father, Chu Yan would not give him the slightest bit of good looks.

Zhao Qingyun was flustered in his heart, looking at her thin and determined back, he suddenly felt that he might never know this daughter before.

What's more, she is the princess now, and he is just a sesame official.

The doctor came soon, and when he heard that the princess was looking for him, he trembled all the way with fright.

After finally reaching the door, he was too nervous when he lifted his foot, tripped over the threshold, and staggered in.

Chu Yan turned around with an ugly expression. Seeing her expression, the doctor was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Cao Min, Cao Min kowtowed to the Crown Princess...His Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

Seeing him flustered like this, Chu Yan knew something was up on his mind.

Thinking of Lu Xinyue being ill for so many days, but always being diagnosed with gastrointestinal problems, it seems that the quack doctor in front of him may not be really bad in medicine, but has a bad heart.

She walked up to the doctor step by step, and asked calmly, "Who instructed you to lie about Madam's condition?"

In a word, Zhao Qingyun froze on the spot, and the doctor trembled all over, then trembled like a sieve, and said tremblingly, "Your Highness, what did you say? Cao Min, Cao Min did his best to take care of you, take care of your wife, how dare you... Dare to tell half a lie?"

Chu Yan's heart was like a mirror, and she knew that this person was still dying when she heard it, so she looked down at him and said word by word, "If you tell the mastermind, I will spare you and only give you the death penalty; If you don't say it, then your whole family will have to be buried with you."

Her voice was like the midwinter that had not yet melted the ice, which frightened the doctor's heart so much that it was half cold.

Is she trying to hear her tone?Obviously just seeking a final result.

The doctor knocked his head violently, one after another, his forehead hit the ground with a dull sound, which echoed throughout the room.

He broke down in tears and said, "Damn Caomin! Damn Caomin! Caomin was obsessed with ghosts, coerced by the second wife, and took her money, so... That's why he did such a heinous thing! But Your Highness, Caomin's family is innocent , if the second wife did not use them to blackmail Caomin, Caomin would never treat his wife like this! Doctors are parents, Caomin has been educated since childhood to treat patients kindly, and it is definitely not deliberately delaying Madam's illness..."

As soon as this remark came out, Zhao Qingyun turned pale with shock.

How...how could it be Wei Shi who did it?

Wei Shi has always been a bit stubborn, but he always maintains a noble and elegant posture on weekdays, so how could he do such vicious things?

Chu Yan ignored the people who kept kowtowing on the ground, and turned her head to look at Zhao Qingyun expressionlessly.

"Father, you'd better pray that your mother is safe, otherwise don't say it's your second wife, even if it's you, don't even think about getting rid of it."

Zhao Qingyun froze, unable to believe that his daughter would look at him with such cold and hateful eyes.

And just when his mind was blank, Chu Yan said again, "Hanzhi, immediately go outside and ask Chongshan to drive back to the palace. He said that Madam is seriously ill and urgently needs to be treated by an imperial physician. Then tell Your Highness, today I I'm afraid I won't be able to go back, and when the imperial physician arrives to confirm that my mother is fine, I will go back tomorrow and accuse him."
