Splendid Twins

Zhou Yu was called out by the housekeeper while he was still on duty. Seeing that he looked hurried, he frowned slightly:

"Why are you so nervous?"

"My Lord, this is bad. The master... you should return home as soon as possible..."

Zhou Yu's face suddenly changed when he heard this. He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart and said in a low voice:

"what happened!"

"This... the master has been feeling a bit cold since returning home. The medicine prescribed by the palace doctor is of no use. Now he is shaking so much that he can't even hold a bowl..."

The butler was still talking about the details, but Zhou Yu immediately grasped the key point. It was the hottest time of the year, and his father actually felt cold? ?

My heart sank. My father was acting so abnormally. I was afraid that someone might have punished him...

Zhou Yu turned around and asked for leave from his boss, then rode back to the Duke's Mansion at full speed.

As soon as he entered, he went straight to the study room. As expected, it was filled with female relatives, all looking panicked.

"Changqing is back..."

"Husband..."

The Crown Princess looked at Zhou Yu with tears in her eyes. She had just married for less than half a year when her mother-in-law passed away. If her father-in-law had an accident again, her reputation would be...

"Don't worry, help me take care of grandma. I have something to say to my father."

Although Zhou Yu was anxious, he remained calm on the surface. However, the old lady seemed to have found her backbone when she saw him. She came over in two or three steps, grabbed Zhou Yu's arm, and said in a choked voice:

"Changqing... hurry up and save your father..."

"Grandma, we need to find the cause of the disease before we can prescribe the right medicine. Father will definitely get better. Let Shuhua go back with you first. I'm here..."

The old lady had been holding on, and only breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, sniffed and said:

"Okay, then we won't bother you. If you have any news, you must tell grandma..."

Zhou Yu nodded, and watched the women leave with a sullen face, then looked at the palace doctor:

"You go down too."

The court doctor nodded and quietly left. The Duke of Zhenguo, who was standing behind the screen, heard the approaching footsteps and a rare hint of guilt flashed across his eyes.

"Father, you..."

Zhou Yu walked around the screen and came in, turned around and sat on the chair opposite the bed, looking at his father who was trembling non-stop. He wanted to say something but couldn't open his mouth for a moment. The father and son stared at each other and fell silent for a while.

"You... go find her... beg her..."

The Duke of Zhenguo spoke with difficulty. He was wrapped in thick quilts, layer upon layer, as if three or four quilts were piled up into a small mountain, wrapping him tightly inside.

The air in the room was suffocatingly hot, and even breathing became heavy and difficult.

However, despite being in such an environment, the Duke of Zhenguo could not get rid of the coldness that seeped from his bones!

That kind of coldness did not come from the temperature outside, but it felt as if his limbs were corroded by frost, and every bone was filled with a biting chill!

His brows were furrowed, as if he was enduring unspeakable pain, and his lips, which had no trace of blood, turned purple due to the cold.

As soon as Zhou Yu heard it, he knew his father was referring to Si Yao. It seemed that his father did not take his words to heart, but he could not bear to watch his own father suffer, so he lowered his voice and said:

"Dad, can you tell me the details?"

The Duke of Zhenguo clenched his hands into fists under the quilt and recounted the whole story through gritted teeth. He was embarrassed and trembling, so his words were intermittent. Zhou Yu's face became more and more solemn:

"Father, you... why are you doing this? Yaoyao is not the type to be disciplined. You are forcing her like this..."

Zhou Yu couldn't say anything unpleasant. If it were someone else, he would definitely curse at them. He dared to provoke someone without the ability. He was not as skilled as them and was beaten! !

Besides, he had already reminded her that the girl was not an ordinary person. His father actually brought seven or eight sorcerers to cause trouble for her. He was simply losing more than he gained!

"Please bear with it for now. This matter cannot be vindicated. I will go to Sijia Village now."

Zhou Yu's eyes were filled with coldness. As a son, he couldn't bear to see his father in such a state of embarrassment. He only hoped that Si Yao would show some mercy...

The Duke of Zhenguo slowly closed his eyes and tried his best to control his shaking body. He was in a high position and always had control over the lives and deaths of others. He never expected that he would be killed by a little girl today!

Such a ridiculous and frightening power made him feel afraid from the bottom of his heart. This was the first time he felt the power of magic. He originally wanted to let the girl enter the palace to work for the Duke's Mansion, but after this incident, he decided to give up this idea!

After Zhou Yu left the study, he asked someone to check on the sorcerer who had accompanied the Duke of Zhenguo to Sijia Village. In less than a cup of tea, the secret guard brought back the news:

"My Lord, everyone is lying down. Three of them are unable to speak. Their limbs are starting to stiffen as if they were frozen. The remaining four... are already unconscious..."

When Zhou Yu heard this, his face suddenly changed and he stood up in shock. It seemed that Yaoyao was really angry. Now that things had come to this, he could only ask for help!

Si Yao didn't care about all that. The most important thing for her right now was to send Si Qing to the Imperial Examination Hall.

"Be careful with what you eat and drink. If you leave halfway, don't touch it again. Keep a good attitude and do your best..."

Si Yao was afraid that her elder brother would be nervous, so she sat in the carriage and patiently counseled him over and over again. Si Qing smiled and nodded from time to time:

"Okay, I'll listen to Yaoyao."

"Here, wear this. It's specially made to bring you peace and blessings."

Si Yao handed over the talisman that she had prepared. She drew the talisman in one go, and with the help of spiritual energy, it would definitely be able to save Si Qing from the disaster.

It makes me laugh when I think about it. Other people gave gold, silver and other treasures as gifts, but she only gave a talisman to this person and that person...

"Thank you, Yaoyao. Big brother appreciates your kindness."

Si Qing took it and put it on immediately. In his pouch was still the amulet that Yaoyao had given him before. His chest felt swollen. How could he be so worthy to have such a best sister in the world.

Lan Ying was still the driver. She had become Si Yao's exclusive driver. The group headed directly to Shangjing. On the way, they met some students who wanted to hitchhike. Si Yao refused them with the mindset that less trouble is better.

She didn't want to cause any trouble. Call her cold or selfish. She just wanted to deal with these things quickly and then clap her hands and leave.

Zhou Yu rode a fast horse to Sijia Village. Because he was thinking about something, he happened to pass by Si Yao's carriage. Lan Ying felt that the face that just passed by seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a moment, and then he forgot about this person.

I can't remember it, no matter how hard I try.

When Zhou Yu rode non-stop to Sijia Village, he learned that Si Yao had come to the capital, so he turned his horse around and rushed on again.

Si Yao gently lifted a corner of the car curtain, her eyes as bright as autumn water, instantly capturing the bustling street outside the car.

The sunlight shines on the bluestone slabs, reflecting a dazzling light. The shops on both sides of the street are full of colorful signs and various goods that are dazzling.

She leaned forward slightly, taking in the bustling scene more intently.

It is worthy of being the capital city. Everywhere you look, you will be filled with wealth and splendor that is dazzling.
