Chapter 199: Hongmen Banquet
Zhao Zhen walked straight to the highest seat, bent down and sat down, glanced at the couple, and explained in a deep voice: "I have been recovering from my injuries these days, and my legs and feet are not convenient, so I didn't have time to visit Ling'er. I wonder how Ling'er is doing now?"
Madam Liu swallowed hard, her voice a little unclear: "Ling, Ling'er is still the same."
Zhao Zhen frowned.
Lord Liu, who was standing by, saw that the other person looked unhappy, and quickly added, "These days, he has been taking the prescription left by Dr. He. The doctor has come to see him and everything is stable. It is only a matter of time before he wakes up."
"Where is Doctor He?" Zhao Zhen suddenly asked.
"The divine doctor He has gone on a journey..."
Zhao Zhen snorted coldly, his beautiful face full of impatience and ridicule. Lord Liu stepped forward awkwardly: "Your Highness, please rest assured. I have sent someone to ask Dr. He to come back."
The other party didn't respond, and Lord Liu looked a little embarrassed.
Zhao Zhen's eyes suddenly fell on Madam Liu: "Have you heard any rumors these days?"
Being looked at by the other party made her hair stand on end. Madam Liu said with a stiff upper lip: "I have indeed heard of some things."
"Oh?" Zhao Zhen showed a playful smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He looked at Madam Liu and said, "Madam, tell me about it."
Madam Liu gritted her teeth and forced herself to calm down. Her mind was full of what Madam Bo had said to persuade her today. She made up her mind and decided to believe it once. She said angrily, "It's just a bunch of people spreading rumors. It's nonsense to talk about twins. Don't worry, Your Highness. The Liu family will always stand by you, and we don't believe it either."
The twins theory. "
Zhao Zhen stared at Madam Liu for a while. Madam Liu's eyes were frank, but in fact, her palms were covered with sweat and her legs were weak.
After a long time, Zhao Zhen retracted his gaze, a smile appeared on his face, and he stood up by holding the table: "I'll go see Ling'er."
Seeing the man walk away, Madam Liu almost fell to the ground. She looked at Master Liu in a daze: "Husband..."
"Don't talk about it for now, let's go and take a look."
Madam Liu nodded, forced herself to calm down and followed.
Liu Xiangling was still unconscious on the couch.
Zhao Zhen sat in front of the couch, looking at Liu Xiangling with an unfathomable gaze, and asked the maid how Liu Xiangling was doing recently.
"Your Highness, the princess is still the same."
Zhao Zhen retracted his gaze and heard footsteps behind him. He glanced sideways and said, "Ling'er is my wife. I have to take care of her personally."
Madam Liu was extremely unhappy in her heart. She was about to say something but her husband pulled her sleeve, so she had to keep silent.
Let the people brought by Zhao Zhen take Liu Xiangling away.
Zhao Zhen said to Madam Liu: "I will always remember what the Liu family has done for me."
"Your Highness, you are too kind. This is what we should do."
Watched Zhao Zhen leave.
Madam Liu couldn't hold back her tears: "My husband, Ling'er has been taken away. Is there any chance for her to survive?"
"The Third Prince wouldn't murder someone who knows nothing." Lord Liu shook his head. The reason he stopped them just now was because the Liu family had no reason to detain her. Liu Xiangling was first and foremost the Third Prince's consort.
The eldest daughter of the Liu family.
"But……"
"Everyone, step back!" Lord Liu stopped Madam Liu from speaking in time and ordered them to step back.
When there was no one around, Lord Liu fell into a chair.
Ever since Liu Xiangling married Zhao Zhen, the two families often got together. And because Queen Liu adopted Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen almost grew up under Lord Liu's nose.
Zhao Zhen was only well-behaved and sensible in front of Queen Liu, Emperor of Northern Qi and others.
He is vicious behind the scenes.
Many times, it was Lord Liu who helped to clean up the mess.
The third prince I have come into contact with in recent months, although vicious, still retains a bit of rationality and is not the type who takes human life lightly and kills innocent people.
But the guy I met today would start fighting and killing as soon as he was not satisfied, and he would definitely see blood when he was in a bad mood.
"When he came back a few months ago, I thought he had a broken brain and had changed his personality. I was very relieved at the time. For several months in a row, I didn't hear that the Third Prince's Mansion had carried anyone out. Today, I saw him come back again..."
The bloodthirsty and brutal aura that could not be concealed filled his face.
Lord Liu realized at a glance that these were two people.
"No wonder Mrs. Bo told us not to believe in rumors. My husband, please withdraw those people quickly. If the Third Prince finds out, he will definitely blame us." Madam Liu was in mixed feelings and did not dare to inquire about the royal secrets at all.
Lord Liu pondered for a moment and then nodded heavily.
...
Xu family
Not long after Xu Feng left the Bo family, he heard the news that Mrs. Bo had died. He wrote down the incident and tied it to the leg of a carrier pigeon.
"Sir, the third prince just went to the Liu family and brought back the third prince's wife." said the guard.
Xu Feng nodded: "Keep watching, and report any signs of trouble."
"Yes."
Watching the carrier pigeon soar into the sky.
The servant came to report: "Sir, the carriage of the Third Prince's Palace is waiting at the door. Please go there."
Xu Feng withdrew his gaze and frowned. He and Zhao Zhen had no connection at all, so what was the meaning of inviting him to come over now?
After thinking about it, Xu Feng decided to go anyway. Before leaving, he wrote a memorial and asked someone to deliver it to the palace. Then he went out and got on the carriage.
He was not unfamiliar with the Third Prince's Mansion, but he pretended that he had never been there before and let the butler lead him to the inner courtyard.
Finally we arrived at Tingyu Pavilion and stopped.
Tingyu Pavilion, where Ning Xianyun lived in the past.
Xu Feng stood in the yard expressionless, waiting for an incense stick of time before Zhao Zhen finally arrived. He said to Xu Feng, "If it weren't for Lord Xu saving my life, I would have been waiting to be reincarnated in Yama Palace. Today, I am hosting a banquet in my mansion to entertain Lord Xu."
"Your Highness, I am only following orders and I dare not take any credit for it."
"Master Xu is too modest." Zhao Zhen patted Xu Feng's shoulder gently: "In order to entertain you, I have taken out all the fine wines that I have collected for many years."
At Zhao Zhen's reminder, the table was quickly filled with wine, and soon even the food and wine were ready.
"There are no outsiders here, please take a seat." Zhao Zhen took the first seat and pointed to the seat opposite: "Master Xu, please."
Xu Feng smiled slightly, and after sitting down, he took the initiative to pour a glass of wine and handed it to Zhao Zhen: "Your Highness, I offer you a glass of wine. Please take good care of me in the future."
