After the replacement marriage, I was forced to fight at home

Chu Yong looked at the soldiers coming down from the cliff as if they were flying over the eaves, and turned around in circles excitedly.

When the chief guard of Prince Jing's mansion saw this scene, he knew that today's plan had failed and that he could not take any action at this time.

Zhou Yu looked at the branches blocking the cave entrance, which were rustling. King Rui tightly gripped the dagger in his hand. The two of them stared at the cave entrance, not daring to breathe.

After a while, the branch was pulled aside, revealing a strange face. The man looked at the two people in the cave, first breathed a sigh of relief, then picked up the whistle hanging on his chest and blew a few times. After getting a response from it, he jumped into the cave and bowed, "I am a captain under Lord Wu, the assistant of the Zhenning Xuanfu Envoy. Are you Prince Rui and Master Zhou?"

Zhou Yu immediately realized who the Lord Wu he was talking about was. He wanted to stand up, but his legs were powerless. After pulling Prince Rui up, his wounds started bleeding again and he felt excruciating pain.

Prince Rui looked at Zhou Yu and wanted to help him, but his arms were weak and his back hurt badly.

The captain stepped forward and said, "Sir, please don't worry. I have already informed my superiors. There are also people waiting for us at the bottom of the cliff. I just don't know who they are from the prince and the Zhou family. I dare not speak to them rashly."

King Rui and Zhou Yu looked at each other. It seemed that the people who were sent to rescue Shi should have figured out something. This was good. If they really sent King Jing's men to rescue them, they would not be stabbed to death, but it was not impossible that their injuries would be aggravated.

The captain recounted how he got here, how he knew that the trapped people were them, how he received the news that they were hiding here, and how he decided to rescue them.

As he spoke, he applied the medicine he had brought with him to the two of them.

Prince Rui and Zhou Yu looked at each other, with the corners of their mouths curled up slightly, "Your ghost-drawn talismans are really effective. Let Second Madam teach my princess later."

Zhou Yu had a proud look on his face, and even the captain's application of medicine didn't hurt him much.

Before the two could say anything else, Chu Yong climbed up with a flushed face. The moment he saw that King Rui was alive and well, the seven-foot man fell to his knees and burst into tears.

King Rui sighed, "My hands are powerless, I can't help you, get up quickly, we can talk about anything when we get back. Is it safe up there?"

Chu Yong wiped his face and said, "It's safe. There are the prince's men, King Jing's men, and our men. There are also soldiers from Lord Wu and the people from Prince Shen's mansion who just arrived. With so many people, no matter who they are, they will not act rashly at this time."

King Rui nodded and said, "Send someone to investigate immediately. You are..."

Chu Yong nodded repeatedly, and after giving Prince Rui and Zhou Yu simple bandages, the two were pulled up little by little by Wu Zhengda's men.

The prince narrowed his eyes and looked at the bloodstained face of Prince Rui and his tightly bound arms. He walked forward and felt them up and down, then turned to ask Deputy General Qian, "Is everything else okay?"

The team doctor following behind Vice General Qian bowed and said, "Your Highness, I think it's mostly scratches, and I've already done some simple treatment. As for whether there are other problems, we need to go back to the capital and ask the imperial physician to take a closer look. At the moment, it seems like nothing serious."

The prince nodded with relief, looked at Prince Rui and said, "Don't worry, Sixth Brother. I have sent someone to the palace to invite the imperial physician to Prince Rui's mansion. Don't worry, even if there is something wrong, I will do my best to find someone to treat you."

King Jing stepped forward, looking guilty, "It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of the people below me, and let my sixth brother suffer such a big loss. Fortunately, my sixth brother is fine. Don't worry, my fourth brother will give you an explanation when he gets back."

Prince Rui smiled at the Crown Prince and Prince Jing, but wanted to raise his hand but couldn't, so he could only shake his head helplessly.

The prince turned his head to look at Zhou Yu again, "Master Zhou Er is very good, and he has done a great job in protecting his master. I will go to the emperor later to ask for your credit."

Zhou Yu cupped his hands and said, "I thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I was incompetent for not being able to protect Prince Rui. How dare I ask His Royal Highness for credit?"

The prince waved his hand and said with a smile, "If I say you have made a contribution, then you have made a contribution."

Zhou Yu looked at the prince's half-smile and became even more suspicious, but he didn't dare to say anything more and bowed again to express his gratitude.

Watching Prince Rui and Zhou Yu being sent on a carriage to the capital, Prince Jing said, "We have missed the auspicious time. I don't know if our mother will blame us."

The prince stroked his beard and said, "It's okay. It was just a memory of mine. So many things have happened. You should go back and rest. Later, or maybe tomorrow, you will have to go to the emperor to explain the situation."

King Jing nodded and bowed in response.

After a while, the people who had gone down the mountain came up one after another. Seeing the prince's carriage coming this way, they all stood by the roadside and waited with their heads down.

The sixth son stood at the back of the team, watched the prince's carriage pass by, and breathed a sigh of relief.

——————

"Second Madam, I think the person driving the coach seems to be Mingxi." Caixia said anxiously.

Meng Wan pushed the door of the carriage and jumped out, running hurriedly towards the road. Sure enough, he saw several carriages driving towards him not far away.

The car in front was bigger and more luxurious. I didn't recognize the driver, but judging by his attire, he looked like he was from Prince Rui's palace.

Meng Wan breathed a sigh of relief and stood by the roadside waiting for King Rui's carriage to pass by. However, the carriage stopped and the door was pushed open. Meng Wan looked at King Rui who was half leaning against the wall of the carriage and hurriedly bowed and greeted him.

Prince Rui raised his hand and said, "Thanks to Yan Yun today, he is fine. Don't worry, second sister. I will ask the princess to invite you two to the mansion later, and we will have a good chat."

Meng Wan looked up in surprise. This was the first time that Prince Rui called her second sister. Could it be that Zhou Yu had just saved him?

"I dare not. The princess had not received any news. I wonder if the person who went to report the news had an accident on the way. After I received the news, I sent someone to report it. I guess by now, the princess has either come here or has made arrangements in the mansion."

When King Rui heard this, his eyes turned cold and he nodded, "Go check on Yan Yun."

Meng Wan stepped back two steps with his head lowered. After the people from Prince Rui's Palace had passed by, he hurried to Zhou Yu's carriage.

Mingxi had already jumped off the carriage, looking very happy, "Second Madam, the Second Young Master is in the carriage. The rest of the people in the mansion should have just come up by now. Let's escort the Second Young Master back first."

Meng Wan looked at the guards from the mansion who had just been brought out by Mingxi, as well as some of Wu Zhengda's men, and nodded.

The car door was pushed open, Meng Wan got in, and looking at Zhou Yu covered in blood, tears welled up in her eyes.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's not all mine, I just hurt my right leg. Lord Wu's doctor just checked it and said that there are no broken bones and it will be fine after some rest."

Meng Wan looked at his swollen thigh, wanting to reach out and touch it but not daring to, "I've asked Chuan'er to go look for Qingning."

"Qingning is not in the capital these days. It doesn't matter. Lord Wu's doctors are also very good. They have been fighting for many years and are good at treating situations like mine. Don't worry, it's okay. Even though it's swollen, I can still feel it."

After saying that, he reached out to wipe Meng Wan's tears, "My Qing'er is really amazing. If you hadn't asked Mingxi to tell that Lord Qian the exact location, we wouldn't have been able to be rescued so quickly."

Meng Wan held his hand and said, "You wrote several letters wrong."

"You were able to spell out the wrong spelling? That's amazing."

"Okay, stop talking. Take a rest. We can talk about it when we get home."

Zhou Yu nodded. He really had no strength left. Especially when he was pulled up just now, his injured leg inevitably hit the cliff wall, adding new scars to the old ones. He was really afraid that he could not save his leg.

When they returned to Prince Shen's Mansion, it was rare to see Zhou Yiheng standing at the gate looking around. Zhou Zheng stood beside him with no discernible expression on his face.

When he saw Zhou Yu being carried down and the appearance of his legs, Zhou Zheng first took a breath of cold air, then he had other thoughts.

Meng Wan felt very uncomfortable looking at Zhou Zheng's expression. It was obvious that he was planning something bad based on Zhou Yu's injury.

No, we can't let him do any more trouble. We called Caixia, who was following behind, over and said, "Tell Mother Kong to go to the Faqing Temple..." Caixia looked at Zhou Yu who was carried into the study in the outer courtyard, nodded, and ran to the inner house.

During the time when Zhou Yu was recuperating from his injuries, several things happened in Prince Shen's Mansion.

One was that Princess Hu accidentally knocked over the candlestick while chanting in the "Faqing Nunnery", igniting the incense oil she was offering. The waiter, Mother Lu, had her hands burned, but Princess Hu was not so lucky, as half of her body was ignited by the fire. When the nuns entered, they could even smell the smell of cooked meat.

Second, Zhou Yiheng, who heard about this, asked Zhou Zheng to pick up Hu, but he didn't expect that the carriage overturned when going down the mountain. Although Hu was not seriously injured, Zhou Zheng was crushed by the wheels for a long time, and the leg with the old injury had lost consciousness.

After the Hu family found some medicine, they applied it and felt extremely itchy, especially the bones all over their body, which hurt like they were broken and they couldn't bear it.

Zhou Yiheng looked at the mother and daughter, and then at Zhou Yu who was getting better day by day. He suspected that Zhou Yu had done something, but he had no reason. The waiter was from the Hu family, the patient was from the Hu family, and even the medicine was sent by the Hu family.

Originally, he had such thoughts when he saw Zhou Yu's legs a few days ago. These days, he saw Zhou Zheng couldn't even get down from the ground. In addition, the prince praised Zhou Yu highly in the court that day, and praised the emperor for nodding his head repeatedly. After praising himself for raising a good son, Zhou Yiheng knew that it was time to ask for a title.

Therefore, when Zhou Yu was able to walk, the decree to appoint him as the prince of Shen County Palace came down.

Meng Wan looked at the brand new court dress of the Crown Prince's wife and couldn't help but sigh that it was so difficult to get this dress.

"Is everything packed?" Zhou Yu walked in.

Today was the day when the couple returned to the Huainan Marquis's Mansion. Wang Shi had experienced the joy of her father and brother's return, but she learned that Prince Rui and Zhou Yu had an accident a few days later. The reason was nothing else, as Meng Shao said, and Meng Wan was helpless. She didn't know how to describe this elder brother who was incapable of doing anything and always caused trouble.
