Rebirth of Wendong Xiaoji

On this day, Mrs. Li came to look for Zhou Yanhuan in a hurry. When she saw Zhou Yanhuan, she shed tears without saying a word, and she looked pitiful with pear blossoms and rain.

Zhou Yanhuan quickly pulled him into his arms and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you crying for no reason?"

Mrs. Li grabbed Zhou Yanhuan's arm, choked with sobs and said: "The concubine is guilty, Xin'er... she is sick, woo woo woo..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanhuan hurriedly asked, "Are you sick? How are you? Did you find a doctor?"

Mrs. Li gently wiped away her tears, and said in shame: "Ever since Xin'er followed Chen Qie, Chen Qie found that she had a poor appetite. Chen Qie thought it was a child who had given birth, and she was not used to it in a different place. But now we have a harmonious relationship. But Xin'er still didn't get better, and the concubine felt that something was wrong, so she asked the doctor to take a closer look at Xin'er.

It wasn't until this time that the concubine realized that Xin'er's spleen-stomach discord problem hadn't lasted for a day or two, and she was probably born with this problem.It's just that the performance is not very obvious, and the people underneath are careless, so they didn't notice it.If it keeps procrastinating, the concubine really dare not think about it, woooo...it's all the concubine's fault, if the concubine finds out earlier, Xin'er can suffer less, woooo..."

After hearing this, Zhou Yanhuan was also a little anxious. Seeing that Li Shi was crying sadly, he could only comfort her, saying: "It's not entirely your fault, it's also because these servants are careless. Fortunately, we discovered it early. The root of the disease is troublesome. Well, let's go and see Xiner!"

Mrs. Li nodded, and then the crying stopped, and the two went to the child's ward together.

Since then, Princess Tan's youngest daughter, Zhou Yixin, has become Li's magic weapon to retain Zhou Yanhuan.

Days passed, and if there was no "reminder" from the eldest son Zhou Zhengze, maybe Zhou Yanhuan would never know the truth of the matter for the rest of his life.

That night, Zhou Zhengze and Zhou Zhengbo came to greet Zhou Yanhuan.

Now, Zhou Zhengze is four years old and Zhou Zhengbo is three years old, and they have already started to learn some simple words and etiquette rules, so they come to greet Zhou Yanhuan every night, report what they have learned that day, and talk about homely things.

It has to be said that Zhou Yanhuan is very good to these children. Except when going out to fight, he will take time to see them every day. Even if he is busy with business, he never delays.

Zhou Zhengze was sensible and prudent since he was a child. He nestled in Zhou Yanhuan's arms, and wrote to Zhou Yanhuan one by one the characters taught by Mr. Today, and babbled to Zhou Yanhuan all the things he did today.Zhou Zhengbo, on the contrary, is a master who can't sit still. Right now, he is running around the house with a small wooden horse, very crazy.

Zhou Zhengze finished talking, thought for a while, and added: "Daddy, Ze'er went to see my sister today. She seems to have lost weight. Aunt Li said that her sister's spleen and stomach are not in harmony. Is it true?"

Zhou Yanhuan nodded, "Your sister was born prematurely and her spleen and stomach were weak at birth. You are an older brother, so you should visit your sister more when you have time."

Zhou Zhengze looked at Zhou Yanhuan suspiciously, and said in puzzlement, "But, but, my sister was obviously not like this before? When we are with Uncle Chen, my sister eats well!"

Hearing his son's words, Zhou Yanhuan was stunned for a while, his face was uncertain, and it took a long time for his expression to calm down. He hugged Zhou Zhengze on his lap, and pretended to ask unintentionally, "Why did Ze'er mention Uncle Chen?"

Zhou Zhengze pointed his fingers and said sullenly: "I haven't seen Uncle Chen for a long time. He promised to tell me about 'Monkey King', and he only told me halfway."

Zhou Yanhuan patted his son's little head, and said with a smile: "So Ze'er is a story? Daddy also knows this story, and Daddy will tell you about it later."

Zhou Zhengze shook his head, looking very disappointed, "That's different, Uncle Chen speaks well, I miss Uncle Chen..." Zhou Zhengze's voice became lower and lower, until it was almost inaudible.

Zhou Yanhuan sighed, pretending to be jealous, and said, "Ze'er misses Uncle Chen so much? Even my father is no match!"

Zhou Zhengze put his arms around Zhou Yanhuan's neck and shook his head, "No, Daddy is the best, but apart from Daddy and Mother, it is Uncle Chen who treats us the best. I like living with Uncle Chen, brother My sister likes it too."

At this time, Zhou Zhengbo also surrounded him, and echoed, "Bo'er likes it too!"

Zhou Zhengze looked at Zhou Yanhuan and asked, "Daddy, don't you like it?"

Zhou Yanhuan sighed, and whispered, "I...I like it too...just..."

After the children left, Zhou Yanhuan's face immediately turned cold, "Come here! Go and invite the doctor who was treating Princess Tan and Miss Tan over here. Remember, don't let anyone know about this!"

The subordinates led away, and within half an hour, they quietly came to Zhou Yanhuan's room with the sweaty doctor.

Zhou Yanhuan glanced at Lang Zhong, took a sip from his teacup, and then asked: "When Miss was born, you were the one who took her pulse?"

The doctor rushed over in a hurry. He thought someone had an emergency, but he didn't want to be asked about the prince's little daughter. He was a little dazed for a while. After a while, he replied, "It's my servant."

Zhou Yanhuan stared at Langzhong with cold eyes, "You are also an old man on the mountain. You can answer honestly when I ask you. If there is a half-truth... Humph!" Tea splashed all over the table.

The Langzhong trembled in fright, and replied tremblingly: "I understand, I must not dare to expire my lord!"

"That's good!" Zhou Yanhuan nodded and asked, "Does Miss suffer from weak spleen and stomach?"

The doctor thought about it for a while, then shook his head, "My lord, when the young lady was born, she was indeed lacking in energy and blood, but after a few months of recuperation, it should be fine. As for the weakness of the spleen and stomach, there is no such thing."

Zhou Yanhuan narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously, "Are you sure?"

Hearing this, the doctor was a little annoyed, "My lord, I have been practicing medicine for many years, and I dare not say that my medical skills are outstanding, but such a disease can still be determined. Moreover, after the young lady was born, General Chen also asked me to see her twice. Even the deficiency of qi and blood has been cured, so why is the spleen and stomach weak?"

Zhou Yanhuan's face was full of surprise, and he asked after a while: "Then what causes the disharmony of spleen and stomach in the later stage?"

The doctor frowned and replied: "There are various reasons for this, but most of them are caused by improper diet. As for the specific reasons, we will not know until after diagnosis and treatment."

Zhou Yanhuan nodded and said: "Okay, I understand, you go back, don't mention today's matter to anyone, understand?"

The doctor answered and went down.

After Langzhong left, Zhou Yanhuan reached out to call out the hidden guards, and ordered: "Go and investigate, what's going on!"

The dark guard bowed and quietly disappeared into the night.

After finishing the bird's nest soup, Mrs. Li said sinisterly: "That vixen of Mrs. Pan, I don't know how crazy she is. When she is good-looking, let's wait and see! If she wants to fight with me, she won't look at her." Looking at my own virtue, I look like a whore all day long."

The servant girl behind hurriedly echoed: "That's right! It's still Miss who is clever, servant girl, the seat of the princess will belong to Miss sooner or later."

After hearing the maid's words, Li Shi's expression softened.

Seeing that Mrs. Li was happy, the servant girl said cautiously: "Miss, the prince hasn't come over for two days, look..."

Mrs. Li snorted coldly, and said, "Go, feed that damn girl some more sweet potato powder! You cry all day long, and you're so annoying!"

The maid promised to go down.

"Wait!" Mrs. Li called to stop the maid, and then instructed: "Do it cleanly, don't leave any lies."

The servant girl nodded and said with a smile: "Miss, don't worry, I'm careful."

The servant girl took out a jewelry box from the suitcase, and when she opened it, there was half a box of flour inside. She filled a small half bowl, mixed it with boiling water, went to Tan Yixin's room, and forcibly fed it to the child.

The dark guard looked at the baby who was flushed from choking and crying hoarsely, before disappearing into the dark night again.

Zhou Yanhuan was trembling with anger when he heard the report from the dark guard. After a long time, he waved his hand to make the dark guard retreat.

After a while, Li Shi's personal servant girl came to report, "My lord, Miss Xin'er is not feeling well again. My lady is in a hurry, and I want to ask my lord to come over and have a look."

Zhou Yanhuan stared fiercely at the servant girl below, wishing he could swallow her alive, "Come here! Arrest her for me and interrogate her!"

The servant girl screamed and was taken down, and after an hour, was dragged in again.The servant girl was covered in blood and her clothes were torn, obviously she had been tortured.

The dark guard bowed back and said: "Your Majesty, this servant girl has already confessed." After speaking, he handed a stack of papers to Zhou Yanhuan.

Zhou Yanhuan took the confession, the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became, and finally he was so angry that he dropped the carved white jade pen holder on the table.

It turned out that in order to win Zhou Yanhuan's favor, this Mrs. Li first adopted Zhou Yixin, and later, in order to fight for favor, she actually tampered with the child's meals.She gave Zhou Yixin sweet potato flour every few days, but it was still uncooked, and the child's stomach couldn't digest it, so he showed symptoms of spleen and stomach disharmony.

If Zhou Yanhuan checked carefully, he would also be able to discover Li Shi's flaws. It is only because Zhou Yanhuan believed in Li Shi too much that he followed her way and hurt Zhou Yixin.

After asking about the situation, Zhou Yanhuan ordered someone to bring Zhou Yixin back, sealed off Li's courtyard, and notified Li's parents to go up the mountain to pick him up.As for the other people who murdered Zhou Yixin, they were all killed, including Li's family doctor and personal maid.

Children are Zhou Yanhuan's bottom line. Since Li Shi dares to attack his children, he must bear the due consequences.

Mrs. Li did not wait for Zhou Yanhuan, but waited for a divorce letter.She watched Zhou Yanhuan's people take Zhou Yixin away, dug out her hidden sweet potato flour, took away her family doctor and nanny, and sealed off her courtyard.

Before Li's family came, Li still lived in the original courtyard.The high-ranking concubine turned into a divorced wife overnight. The gap is not insignificant. How could Mrs. Li accept it?

There were cries and begging for mercy from time to time in the small courtyard, but even if she cried her throat out, no one asked a word.It can also be seen from this point that Mrs. Li is not a very good person.

Zhou Yanhuan has been depressed for several days because of Li Shi's affairs. He trusts Li Shi very much, otherwise he would not be able to entrust his daughter to her upbringing.But Mrs. Li used his trust and his daughter to compete for favor and profit.

This feeling of being betrayed by a trusted person is so uncomfortable that when Zhou Yanhuan thinks of Mrs. Li, it's as disgusting as eating a fly.

As the saying goes, good fortune never comes without double, and misfortune never comes singly. During the period when he ordered people to invite Li's family, another unfortunate thing happened. This time he lost his youngest son, Zhou Zhengkang.

On the fifth day after Mrs. Li was suspended, Mrs. Duan came looking for her in a panic.When she saw Zhou Yanhuan, she knelt down on the ground with a thud, "My lord! My lord! Save Kang'er! I beg you!" Duan said, kowtowing her head.

After Zhou Yanhuan heard this, he frowned tightly. He hurried over to help Duan Shi up, and asked, "What's wrong with Kang'er? You can't talk properly!"

Duan's expression was flustered, his lips trembled, and his voice trembled: "Smallpox! Kang'er got smallpox! My lord!! Save our child!"

After hearing this, Zhou Yanhuan's expression changed drastically, and he was about to run to Duan's courtyard.

Several guards hurriedly stopped Zhou Yanhuan, persuading him: "My lord! No way!"

Zhou Yanhuan kicked the person in front of him away, and said angrily, "Fart! If it's smallpox, what's the use of me running away!" Saying that, Zhou Yanhuan quickly walked away.

Several guards looked at each other, two of them ran out to find Langzhong, and the rest chased after Zhou Yanhuan.

When Zhou Yanhuan saw his son, his high-hanging heart finally became more stable.The son's small face was covered with red rashes, and even Zhou Yanhuan, who didn't understand medical principles, could tell that it wasn't smallpox at all.

At this time, the two guards who flew out before came in with the Langzhong.The doctor was not too young, and was dragged out of breath by the two guards, almost dying.

The doctor saw Zhou Zhengkang's condition, shook his head helplessly, and walked out without saying a word, carrying the medicine box.

Zhou Yanhuan grabbed the doctor's coat and dragged Shengsheng back, "Sir, what's the matter with this child? You should explain clearly! After reading it, what's the matter if you don't say a word?"

The doctor sighed, and said helplessly, "My lord, please ask someone else to be wiser! The villain is really powerless."

"What? The child is hopeless? Is it really smallpox?"

Hearing what Zhou Yanhuan said, the doctor was stunned for a moment, "What smallpox? Who said he had smallpox?"

Zhou Yanhuan was worried and anxious, grabbed the doctor's chest, and said angrily: "Then what's wrong with this child? Why can't it be cured? You can't even cure a child, why do you want to be a doctor?"

Seeing that Zhou Yanhuan was angry, the doctor hurriedly defended himself, "My lord! It's not that the villain is unwilling to heal the young master, he is really helpless! Looking at the symptoms of the young master, he has measles. If it is an ordinary child, the villain is also somewhat sure, but The young master was born prematurely and physically weak, with congenital deficiencies of heart, lungs, intestines and stomach, and suffering from such a disease, hey..., the villain is really helpless, the prince please ask another wise man."

Zhou Yanhuan's heart seemed to have sunk to the bottom of the valley, he saw that the doctor really had no choice but to let him go down the mountain and find another famous doctor.

After a lot of tossing, Zhou Yanhuan invited more than a dozen doctors back and forth, but in the end, the younger son's life was not saved.One night, Zhou Zhengkang, a child under one year old, passed away without a sound.

On the second day after Zhou Zhengkang's death, Li's parents also arrived. After hearing the report from their confidants, they also secretly blamed their daughter for being careless and overdoing it.After their daughter did such a thing, they naturally did not dare to intercede with Zhou Yanhuan, so they could only leave with the haggard Li Shi.

When Mrs. Li walked to the front yard, she happened to run into the person who sent Zhou Zhengkang.Li Shi looked at Duan Shi who was crying heartbreakingly and Pan Shi who was pretending to be sad, but felt that it was extremely dazzling, and felt unwilling, and blurted out the words without thinking.

"Sister Duan, do you know how your child died?" When Mrs. Li said these words, the entire courtyard fell silent.

Mrs. Duan wiped her tears, walked up to Mrs. Li, and asked, "Sister, are you saying that there is something else hidden about the cause of my child's death?"

Mrs. Li glanced at Mrs. Pan, leaned close to Mrs. Duan's ear and whispered: "Sister Duan, your child was killed by Mrs. Pan. She bought a rough girl from her sister's small kitchen and let her work in the small kitchen. The young master played tricks on his food, the young master ate food contaminated with dirty things, that's why he got measles.

Sister Duan, if you don't believe me, you can go back and interrogate her. Besides, I'm a divorced person, so I don't need to lie to you. The reason why I tell you the truth is because I can't bear to see the young master die in vain. "After speaking, Li Shi followed her parents and left the palace.

Mrs. Duan stood there, stunned for a long time, then suddenly rushed towards Mrs. Pan, strangled Mrs. Pan's neck tightly, and said through gritted teeth, "I'll kill you! You poisonous woman! Give me back my child! Give me back my child!  … "

After a lot of effort, the servants managed to hold Duan Shi, Pan Shi's complexion turned purple from being strangled, and there were purple handprints on his neck.

At this time, Zhou Yanhuan also rushed over. Seeing that their clothes were disheveled and their hair was disheveled, he couldn't help but angrily said: "You two concubines, you actually fought violently. Are there any rules? It's simply unreasonable!"

Seeing Zhou Yanhuan, the Duan family burst into tears as if seeing a savior, "My lord! Huh... My lord wants to make decisions for my concubine! Our child is wronged! It's her! It's her who killed us Your child!" Mrs. Duan pointed at Mrs. Pan with a ferocious expression, wanting to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin.

When Pan heard the words, her face paled with fright, and she knelt down on the ground, shouting for injustice.

Looking at the stunned servants in the yard, Zhou Yanhuan felt powerless. He ordered people to help Duan Shi and Pan Shi, and brought them to his study, and then asked about what happened.

Duan insisted that it was Pan who killed her child, but Pan denied it.Zhou Yanhuan reprimanded both of them and ordered them to think behind closed doors.

After Duan and Pan left, Zhou Yanhuan summoned the hidden guard again and ordered him to investigate the cause of his youngest son's death.

After Li's incident, Zhou Yanhuan no longer trusted Pan's, so when he heard Duan's complaint, he naturally became suspicious.There is a saying that there are no waves without wind, if someone really did something wrong, there must be traces to follow.

If it wasn't for Mrs. Pan, then that's fine, if it was really her doing... Zhou Yanhuan squinted his eyes, and firmly grasped the armrest of the chair.Although this son is born of the Duan family, he doesn't like it, but he is still his own flesh and blood, how can he not be furious when he hears such secrets!

On the second day, the dark guard came back and returned with a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.After hearing the secret guard's report, Zhou Yanhuan remained silent for a long time. How he hoped that all this was just Duan's nonsense, how he wished that Pan had not murdered his son, but the witnesses and physical evidence were there, so he couldn't help but face it. .

It turned out that what Li said was true, the girl brought back by the secret guard was a rough envoy from Duan's small kitchen.She took Pan's money and brought the tableware used by the sick child of her relatives to the palace, soiling Zhou Zhengkang's food, which caused the child to suffer from measles and die.

When the girl heard that Zhou Zhengkang had died of illness, she was very frightened, so she quietly escaped from the palace. Unexpectedly, she was found by the hidden guards just one day after leaving the palace, and she was arrested again.What is waiting for her, one can imagine that a momentary greed will eventually kill her.

Zhou Yanhuan sat in the study all night, and gave Pan a glass of poisoned wine the next day, which ended in her life.

This is the first time Zhou Yanhuan has faced the result of the struggle in the back house, naked cruelty, but killing people invisible.

Although Zhou Yanhuan is the son of Prince Jingbian, he grew up in a relatively simple environment, and he has no personal experience of the privacy of the back house.From childhood to adulthood, Zhou Yanhuan was surrounded by men. These people were loyal and thought of Zhou Yanhuan in everything, so naturally they would not let him touch these dirty things.

In essence, Zhou Yanhuan is still a country bumpkin. He has never been baptized by the life of the royal family, nor can he understand the difficult life of princes and grandchildren, let alone their values ​​and ways of doing things.Therefore, when Zhou Yanhuan proclaimed himself king, although he enjoyed a life of being hugged left and right, he was unable to maintain the balance and stability of the backyard, which led to today's tragedy.

Since the death of her son, the Duan family has been a little bit crazy. She can no longer bear children, and she will inevitably face the plight of no one behind her. These days, she has retribution one by one, yelling that Princess Tan came to her to ask for her life.

Zhou Yanhuan would no longer be interested in such a Duan Shi. Originally, he could tolerate Duan Shi because of the child, but now that the child is gone and Duan Shi is crazy, he can only feel pity for this woman.

As the son of King Jingbian, Zhou Yanhuan was hunted down by Princess Jingbian and the current King of Jingbian—Zhou Yanhao for many years, and only he knew the bitterness and pain.

Therefore, Zhou Yanhuan loves his children very much, and cannot tolerate others harming them.But Duan's, Li's, and Pan's, without exception, all set their minds on his child, which was the most unacceptable to Zhou Yanhuan.

Zhou Yanhuan executed Mrs. Pan and abandoned Mrs. Li. If Mrs. Duan was not pregnant at the time, he would never have spared Mrs. Duan, but even so, the child's life could not be exchanged.

Zhou Yanhuan was taught by Mr. Liu and Master Song since he was a child, to make contributions and to wait for the opportunity to act. As for women, they are just a foil, a tool to continue the heirs, what do you want?

Under the influence of this kind of concept, Zhou Yanhuan was ambitious and wise and decisive in official affairs, but he never looked down on women, and it was this contempt that made him suffer a lot.The painful lessons of more than a year made Zhou Yanhuan know women again, and in the following years, he never underestimated women again.

When people are weak, they are most likely to think of the past, but now Zhou Yanhuan is full of thoughts about Chen Wendong.

From studying at a young age to being trapped in Zheng's mansion, from guarding the border to becoming a king on his own, everything that Zhou Yanhuan experienced has the shadow of Chen Wendong.This person occupied too many years of his life, as long as he recalled the past, he couldn't help but think of Chen Wendong.

Only then did Zhou Yanhuan realize how important Chen Wendong was to him, and how much Chen Wendong had paid for him, so that without Chen Wendong, he couldn't even recall the past.

Zhou Yanhuan had to admit that the days with Chen Wendong were the happiest and happiest days in his life.Even if he established himself as a king and dominated one side, he had never experienced this kind of happiness.

But when did Chen Wendong fade out of his life, Zhou Yanhuan couldn't remember exactly.

Zhou Yanhuan has always regarded Chen Wendong as his own person, a different existence from Princess Tan and Pan.He could execute Pan Shi without hesitation, but he could not execute Chen Wendong.Even the thought of Chen Wendong's death made his heart hurt like a knife.But now, his feeling is even more obvious.

After Chen Wendong disappeared, he did not send anyone to look for him. There was a lot of anger in it, but more of it was to drive Chen Wendong away from his heart.He is a king, he has his own ambitions, and he doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone, but now he regrets it a bit.

Zhou Yanhuan knew that Chen Wendong was not dead. Although everyone said that he had little hope of living, Zhou Yanhuan knew that he was still alive. This was a strange kind of confidence.

Zhou Yanhuan sometimes thought, if Chen Wendong was alive, why didn't he come back to find him?Does he hate himself that much?

The night before the expedition, Zhou Yanhuan went to find Chen Wendong. At that time, he really regretted agreeing to Chen Wendong's expedition.But Chen Wendong insisted that there was no one in the army to use. As the commander in chief, he had no right to be willful.As for the later rhetoric, there are true feelings and acting elements in it.

Chen Wendong has always been soft-hearted, and Zhou Yanhuan recognized this point, which made Chen Wendong compromise repeatedly.

That night, Chen Wendong's silence made Zhou Yanhuan a little flustered. In the end, he was really scared, so he compromised.He was worried that Chen Wendong would do something stupid, and if he could keep Chen Wendong alive, he would be willing to let him go free.

He knew that Chen Wendong might not come back this time, but when Chen Wendong really disappeared from his sight, he couldn't help feeling lost and sad.Chen Wendong really wanted to leave. Zhou Yanhuan's heart ached because of this realization.

Zhou Yanhuan was depressed, not only the sadness of losing his beloved son, but also the annoyance and worry for Chen Wendong, as well as a trace of self-blame and guilt.

This state lasted for a month, and Zhou Yanhuan suddenly realized that a person cannot be resurrected after death, and even if he regretted it, his youngest son would not come.But Chen Wendong is different, since he is not dead, he can be saved.

Zhou Yanhuan decided to bring Chen Wendong back.
