The chief steward had already become a shrewd person by the time he sat in this position. He knew a little about the situations of the ministers in the court. He looked at the emperor cautiously and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that General Yang is somewhat fond of women. This flower..."

Zhao Xi's expression suddenly changed, and the pressure from his body immediately pressed down on the chief steward.

If it is really what he thought, then Yang Cheng deserves to die!

The chief steward didn't have time to think about it and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I am not talking nonsense. I just got these from the servants of the Yang Mansion."

The chief steward naturally would not say that he knew it before, so he could only put the blame on the servants.

Zhao Xi looked a little impatient, "I didn't find out how Yang Cheng got injured?"

The chief steward pressed his forehead against the white marble floor, sweating coldly, "It's all my fault. The servant himself didn't know the truth, he just said he got hurt in the Pingyang Marquis's mansion..."

Of course, General Yang couldn't be informed of the investigation, so the chief steward could only try to probe him from the side.

When Zhao Xi heard this, the expression on his face relaxed.

If Yang Cheng was injured in Pingyang Marquis' Mansion, it means that Yang Cheng did not get what he deserved, and the people in Pingyang Marquis' Mansion are not completely powerless to protect themselves.

"How do you think General Yang's injuries are?" Zhao Xi asked.

The chief steward who visited Yang Cheng in person naturally knew the extent of his injuries. He hurriedly replied, "General Yang's injuries are extremely strange. Not only can the bleeding not be stopped, but the flesh at the wound is rotting bit by bit. The hemostatic powder is washed away by the blood when it is sprinkled on. Last time, the doctor had no choice but to use a red-hot iron to burn the flesh at the wound to stop the bleeding. The bleeding seemed to have stopped, but in just a few days, the flesh inside had festered and festered. In a few days, it expanded from the size of an egg to the size of a bowl. The pus and blood squeezed out filled half a basin..."

"Has the bleeding stopped?" Zhao Xi interrupted the steward's description.

When he listened to the first half, his brows relaxed a little, but when he heard the latter part, he felt a little uncomfortable.

This old guy, why is he talking so carefully? There is no need to disgust people.

The chief steward was sweating profusely, "No..."

Zhao Xi's brows relaxed again. "Okay, you can go down now!"

Zhao Xi had never heard of or seen such an injury.

A wound the size of an egg would have improved in a few days even if no medicine was used and only iron was used to stop the bleeding. But it not only did not improve, but continued to worsen. This was a bit strange.

Zhao Xi couldn't help but think of how he was seriously injured a few years ago and recovered very quickly.

Afterwards, Zhou Minglang told him that it was because of Shen's burning incense and praying that the mountain god appeared and his injuries were healed.

Zhao Xi believed it on the surface, but in his heart he was more inclined to believe that it was Shen's personal adventure that gave him such magical powers.

But after all, the other person was his savior, so he had no intention of exposing her.

Zhao Xi, who already had some affection for Shen, couldn't help but feel the urge to take her into his harem when he thought of her magical powers.

But how to proceed still needs further consideration.

Zhao Xi put this thought aside for the moment and continued to review memorials. After a while, Imperial Physician Cheng, who was sent to the General's Mansion, asked to see him.

"Your Majesty, this old minister pays homage." Imperial Doctor Cheng knelt tremblingly in the hall.

"Get up!" The cinnabar pen in Zhao Xi's hand did not stop for a moment.

Doctor Chen trembled and climbed up from the ground again, stood to one side with his head bowed, and replied: "This old minister is incompetent. I have used all the top hemostatic drugs, but General Yang's bleeding still hasn't stopped. In my opinion, if the bleeding continues like this, General Yang will surely bleed to death within half a month."

Doctor Cheng said that half a month was still a long time, considering that the General's Mansion had countless high-quality blood-replenishing herbs.

If it were an ordinary family, the person would have died long ago.

The corners of Zhao Xi's mouth slightly raised, "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Cheng. You can go down and have a rest. You don't have to worry about this matter."

Imperial Physician Cheng thought that he had not cured General Yang, so he had to consult the Emperor.

I didn't expect it to pass so easily. The emperor seemed to be in a good mood.

Doctor Cheng didn't dare to think too much and hurriedly left the hall.

…………

At the General's Mansion, General Yang's injuries worsened, and the old lady finally thought of taking her anger out on her new daughter-in-law.

"You are such an unlucky person! If you weren't so lucky, how could my son have suffered so much?" The old lady looked at Chen Yuan with disgust in her triangular eyes.

"Old Madam, please don't be unreasonable. Your husband is a general. Isn't it common for him to get injured? Didn't the general get injured before my daughter-in-law married in?"

Chen Yuan pretended to look calm, but he actually felt a little guilty.

After all, it was she who led the general to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion to spy on Shen Rong. However, she couldn't figure out why Yang Cheng was injured in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, no matter how hard she tried.

Chen Yuan couldn't figure it out, but she didn't dare to ask the general.

The injured Yang Cheng looked as if he wanted to eat her every time he saw her.

Chen Yuan never thought that it was Shen Rong who hurt Yang Cheng personally.

She wanted to ask Shen Rong indirectly what happened that night.

But now the mansion was in a mess because the general was injured. If she went out at this time, the old lady would hate her to death. Chen Yuan could only endure it.

Shen Rong had no idea that so many things had happened because of her hurting others.

After the back room was converted into a high wall, Shen Rong still did not relax and took the two children to practice every night.

If she hadn't been able to protect herself last time, who knows what would have happened!

After what happened last time, Shen Rong realized a truth: whether it is money or ability, it is better to have it as it is your own, because what belongs to others will not last forever.

Even if they are husband and wife.

Two days later, Chen Yuan couldn't resist his curiosity any more, so he went to the Marquis of Pingyang's Mansion under the pretext of buying medicine for the general.

Shen Rong was still a little surprised. Why did Chen Yuan come again and so suddenly?

"Sanniang, has anything happened in your house recently?" Chen Yuan was afraid that Shen Rong would think too much, so he hurriedly explained: "I heard that there are a lot of thieves outside recently. You have been staying at home for a long time and have not gone out, so I came to remind you."

Shen Rong didn't believe that Chen Yuan would be so kind. Just as she was about to answer, Chen Yuan's inner voice reached her ears:

"This Yang Cheng is really useless! He is a general after all! The Pingyang Marquis's mansion is full of old, weak, women and children, and he hurt himself so badly. If Yang Cheng succeeded, it would be great. He let Shen Rong have a taste of her own suffering. I don't know if she will be able to laugh now? What a pity!"

Chen Yuan's thoughts were incoherent, but Shen Rong understood what Chen Yuan meant.

That thief is related to Chen Yuan!

"I'm not sure either. I went to bed when it got dark. The servants were on duty at night, so I didn't hear any noise." Shen Rong's expression was almost unbearable.

She knew that Yang Cheng was Chen Yuan’s second husband, General Yang.

She knew what kind of person General Yang was earlier than Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan stared at Shen Rong's face, trying to find any sign that she was lying, but unfortunately Shen Rong was now completely calm and did not reveal a single lie.

Chen Yuan was unwilling to give up, so he found an excuse to check on several guards in the mansion, but found nothing unusual.

Chen Yuan was unwilling to think that Shen Lianchuan was a doctor, so he shamelessly told Shen Rong about Yang Cheng's injuries, and finally asked Shen Rong to borrow medicine.

How could Shen Rong borrow medicine?

"Yuanyuan, you know my grandfather was just a doctor in the countryside. How could he have any good medicine? From what you said, the injury must be treated with good medicine to be effective."

Shen Rong had no idea that her attack would cause such an injury, and she was secretly surprised.

Chen Yuan knew where Shen Lianchuan came from and did not doubt Shen Rong's words.

The reason why she asked Shen Rong to borrow medicine was just to try her luck. If there was something, it would be a surprise. If not, it would just be a waste of time at most.
