The day her husband welcomed the time-traveling girl into the house, she woke up

In a wheelchair?

him?

He was the great General Zhenbei, who had fought in many battles and killed countless enemies without suffering any injuries. But he was attacked by villains and seriously injured to such an extent under the feet of the emperor?

Li Yunzhi's head was buzzing, and he didn't dare to lift his legs to confirm.

Until Li Yan, who was standing a few steps behind Li Jin, spoke up: "Father, you don't know, the night you were attacked... to be precise, at the same time as you were attacked, my elder brother and I also suffered the same attack. If it weren't for a group of people from the underworld passing by the place where we were attacked and helping us after I introduced myself and asked for help, we would have been like father..."

Li Yan paused before continuing, "While Father was in a coma, my eldest brother and I have been trying to track down the people who attacked us. At first, we had no clue because they seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, leaving no trace. But last night, one of the people who had helped us before suddenly showed up and said that one of them had been killed and the others were being hunted. He asked his friends in Beijing to help investigate and discovered that the people who were chasing them were the ones who attacked us that night, and there is clear evidence that those people's master is Qi Fei."

"Concubine Qi?"

"Yes, Chess Princess."

"unambiguous evidence?"

"Yes! That friend in the martial arts world said there's no way he's wrong!"

"..."

Li Yunzhi took a deep breath, quickly recalled all the interactions between him and Qi Fei, and immediately realized one thing.

That is, the concubine not only remembered who her mother was, but also regarded him as an enemy!

Even though her mother did die because of him!

It can be inferred from this that the person who guided him to discover that Xie Yu was carrying a system and let him know that Xie Yu's system could help him get Azhi back was most likely Qi Fei!

The emperor knows everything about Concubine Qi, so he must also know everything that Concubine Qi does!

Based on his understanding of the Emperor, the Emperor would allow Concubine Qi to kill him, which meant that he had already regarded him as a discarded pawn!

Then maybe from the very beginning, Qi Fei never thought about helping him get Azhi back!

Thinking of this, a feeling of despair quickly spread in Li Yunzhi's heart.

It seems that he will never see Azhi again!

He will never be able to explain to Azhi why he did such a stupid thing!

But he immediately said to Li Jin and Li Yan, "You should also go to the border as soon as possible! For the sake of Azhi and Xiaoshu, Kong Sanniang of the Peacock Terrace will definitely have someone protect you! With your abilities, as long as you survive this disaster, you will definitely become generals who are no less powerful than me in the future!"

But Li Jin said: "Father is like this, it is impossible for us to leave the capital now."

"But if you don't leave now, you might end up like me, becoming a cripple! Or even losing your life!"

"No, Father was previously focused on getting Mother back, so he doesn't know that the situation in the court has changed. The Crown Prince, who used to obey the Emperor's orders and never overstepped his bounds, has become extremely powerful recently. More than half of the civil and military officials in the court are secretly dissatisfied with the Emperor. If the shocking scandal of the Emperor allowing his favorite concubine to assassinate the current general due to grudges from a previous generation were to spread, the Emperor and Concubine Qi would not dare to touch us again."

"..."

Li Yunzhi was silent for a long time before he continued, "Since you have an idea, do it quickly. If you delay, things might change."

Based on his understanding of Jin'er, he must have not taken action yet because of his face as a father.

After hearing what he said, Li Jin nodded without saying a word and turned to leave his room.

Afterwards, Li Yan called the court doctor to give Li Yunzhi a proper examination.

After the court doctor confirmed that he would never be able to stand up again, Li Yunzhi fell silent.

Li Yan talked about this and that in front of his bed, trying to find many topics, but he couldn't get him to speak again.

It wasn't until Li Yan mentioned that he had sent a message to Li Shu's residence but received no response that Li Yunzhi spoke again, "She hates me as her father, how could she react?"

Li Yan heard the trembling in his voice.

His face seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

In the end, I didn't speak to him anymore and quietly retreated outside to guard.

They are a few years older than Xiaoshu.

He enjoyed fatherly love for several years longer than Xiaoshu.

At that time, their father and mother were very affectionate and loved them very much.

So after their mother passed away, they sympathized with their father and took on the responsibility of taking care of Xiaoshu.

Maybe they did it wrong.

They should be more playful, should only care about themselves and completely ignore the young Xiaoshu.

In that case, it would be impossible for the father at that time to leave Xiaoshu and them and go hard to find a way to bring his mother back.

Then you might not fall so deep.

In this way, when faced with a choice, he would not choose to hurt Xiaoshu again and again!

That evening, the news that Concubine Qi's mother had been Li Yunzhi's concubine spread throughout the capital.

Immediately afterwards, the news that Concubine Qi sent people to attack Li Yunzhi and his two sons, causing Li Yunzhi to be unable to stand up again due to severe leg injuries, quickly spread to major restaurants and teahouses in Beijing.

The next morning, the news that Concubine Qi sent people to hunt down the gangsters who had saved the Li Jin and Li Yan brothers, and had even managed to kill two of them, spread widely in the capital.

So much so that a few days later, under pressure from the large number of daily memorials requesting the dethronement of Lin Qi, Yin Su demoted Lin Qi from the first-rank concubine to the fourth-rank beauty.

But Lin Qi didn't care about her position at all, nor did she care about the rumors about her in Beijing. She just wanted to kill Li Yunzhi and his son.

Not only could she not kill Li Jin and Li Yan, but she also couldn't kill Li Yunzhi because Li Yan was guarding inside and outside Li Yunzhi's room almost day and night.

And almost all the people she sent out never returned.

When she was almost out of options, Li Yunzhi actually took the initiative to ask for a meeting with her.

She spent all her remaining points almost without hesitation and prepared a copy of every prop card she could think of that could definitely kill Li Yunzhi.

But she never expected that Li Shu would enter the palace with Li Yunzhi.

The moment she saw Li Shu, she knew it wouldn't work.

And even though Li Shu smiled at her gently and harmlessly, her system made a series of strange noises the moment Li Shu appeared, and then went completely silent.

She called several times but got no response.

Obviously, she had never been like this when she met Li Shu before...

"I have met the Chess Consort... no... the Chess Beauty."

"..."

Lin Qi had a sullen face and was too lazy to even say "no need to be polite".

But Li Shu stood up on her own and not only did she say anything, she also sat down to the side.

Then, with a gentle smile, he spoke, "Let's be frank. I came here today to learn the real reason why you caused me to die without anyone to collect my body. It can't be as simple as avenging my mother and having to cripple me, who carries such great luck, before you can deal with General Li. After all, before I died in the dream, General Li and the others were still alive and well."

Lin Qi raised an eyebrow, then smiled, "Why are you still so naive? Naive to the point of being stupid. Why do you think I will tell you if you just ask me directly?"
