The Legend of Zhen Huan Reborn: Overthrowing Zhen Huan to Become the Queen Mother

The emperor was very conflicted and a little embarrassed. Anyway, he didn't dare to hand the letter to Jiang Ruyin.

As for compensation, Jiang's father was already a first-class baron, and Jiang Zhedi, as his only son, was self-evident. Jiang Zhedi was Jiang Ruyin's half-brother, and the emperor had considered registering Jiang Zhedi under Jiang's mother's name. Now that Jiang Zhedi was suspected of being crippled, the emperor was embarrassed again.

The emperor was almost worried to death because he wanted to compensate Jiang Zhedi himself without losing face for Jiang Ruyin's biological mother. He turned around and saw Jiang Ruyin still caring about the family without knowing anything.

"Yin'er." Pinching Jiang Ruyin's neck and forcing her to turn her head, the emperor gazed into her watery eyes and said seriously, "I am not only the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but also your husband. If you have anything you want to know, you can ask me."

Jiang Ruyin blinked, "Then..."

"Your brother discovered a spy from the Yunnan-Tibet rebels and accidentally injured his leg. It may have a hindrance to his life." The emperor frowned and spoke first.

Instantly, Jiang Ruyin's eyes misted over, "Silang, is my brother tired in the army?"

The emperor choked and instantly thought of how to compensate Jiang Zhedi.

The emperor's heart was filled with pity, and his nose was sour. He said softly, "You are diligent and studious. Your brother has not brought shame upon you."

With tears streaming down her face, Jiang Ruyin choked up and said, "...That's good."

On that day, the emperor granted Jiang Zhedi an idle job, and he finally became the civil servant he had always dreamed of.

five days ago,

The cold wind blew through the curtain like a knife, cutting Jiang Zhedi's face. As the carriage moved forward, it slowly entered the gate of the Jiang family.

The Jiang family mansion, with its carved beams and painted rafters, was once bustling with activity, but now it seemed a bit dazzling to him. Jiang's father had already received the news and was waiting at the entrance of the main hall. The moment he saw Jiang Zhe's residence, a complex emotion flashed in his father's eyes, a mixture of heartache and relief.

"Zhe'er, you're finally back." Jiang's father walked forward, his voice carrying a hint of vicissitudes. Ever since his three children left home one after another, Jiang's father has not been as active as before.

Jiang Zhedi tried hard to force a smile, "Father, I'm sorry to have worried you." His voice was soft and revealed a sense of fatigue.

"Mrs. Qin has always been worried about you. I'll let her talk to you later." Jiang's mother said.

Jiang Zhedi's face was full of gratitude.

Jiang's father waved his hand, his eyes falling on Jiang Zhedi's legs. After a moment's silence, he said, "I've heard everything about your time in the army. Although you're my only child, I shouldn't say this, but I know you're a real man!"

Jiang Zhedi was slightly taken aback. Over the years, as a bastard, he had never worried about food and clothing in the Jiang family, but he had never received such high praise from his father. His eyes were slightly red, and he felt a mixture of emotions. "Father, I just did what I had to do."

At this moment, a figure hurried out from the inner hall. It was Jiang Zhedi's biological mother, Concubine Qin. Her hair was a little messy, and her eyes were full of anxiety and heartache.

"My son!" Aunt Qin rushed to Jiang Zhe's side, tears streaming down her face, and she stroked his face with trembling hands.

It was also the first time that Jiang's mother saw Aunt Qin lose her composure like this, and she silently made room for her.

When Jiang Zhedi saw his biological mother, his defenses completely collapsed. He reached out and hugged Concubine Qin, comforting her softly, "I'm back. Everything is fine."

But Aunt Qin cried even harder, "It's all my fault. I failed to protect you and let you suffer so much outside." Her voice was tearful and full of self-blame.

Father Jiang looked at this scene and sighed slightly, "Well, it's a blessing that Zhe'er is back safely."

Aunt Qin raised her head and looked at Father Jiang, with a hint of pleading in her eyes, "Master, please find the best doctor and make sure to cure Zhedi's leg."

Mother Jiang nodded and said, "Don't worry, I've already sent someone to invite them."

Aunt Qin smiled at Jiang's mother with tearful eyes.

Jiang Zhedi let go of his mother and looked at his father. "Father, the military is in urgent need of help. Although my leg is injured, I don't want to waste my time here. I want to study military books in the mansion. If I have the opportunity in the future, I would like to contribute to my country."

Master Jiang looked at Jiang Zhedi's determined eyes and couldn't help but feel proud. "Okay, I'm glad you have this intention. You can go to the study in the mansion anytime."

The servant pushed Jiang Zhedi into the inner courtyard and returned to his familiar room.

Aunt Qin sat by the bed, tidying up his clothes and muttering, "You're such a fool, child. Why are you working so hard?"

Jiang Zhedi gently released Qin Yi Niang's hand, scratched his head shyly, and said, "Mother, I've never been used to being in the army, but since I'm here, I've stayed here until now. Catching the rebel spy this time was an accident, but unfortunately, the man fought back and injured my leg. It's just a good opportunity for me to go home now."

Aunt Qin was stunned and felt a little amused and helpless. It was good that he came back, but this leg... She couldn't help but shed tears again.

Jiang Zhedi gently wiped away his mother's tears. "Mom, don't be sad. Although my leg is injured, my heart is still with you. There are countless famous doctors in Jiangnan who can definitely cure my son. And with my fame and honor, you will also be proud of me!"

Aunt Liu wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and smiled through her tears, "Silly child, mother hopes that you will be safe."

As they were talking, the housekeeper came in with six doctors, five of whom had white hair.

After the diagnosis, several people looked at each other in confusion, but someone chose to tell the truth. The other four people's eyes twitched. Everyone knew that the only son of the Jiang family had gone to participate in the conscription. This young man was really young. He told the truth when it was obvious that there was something wrong with his injury.

"Your leg injury is deep in the bone, and treatment has already been given. However, the emergency treatment was rather crude, and only served to stop the bleeding. The journey was bumpy, and this leg injury may endanger his ability to walk in the future."

Jiang Zhedi was stunned. Father Jiang and Mother Jiang exchanged a glance. Mother Jiang frowned and said, "Thank you very much. If that's the case, are there any precautions you would like to share?"

During this time, Jiang's mother's female guard Jing Ge brought in two doctors who lived far away, and only one of them said the same thing.

Jiang's father looked unhappy but tried hard to avoid showing any obvious displeasure. Jiang's mother nodded and someone sent several doctors out.

The two doctors who told the truth were kept, and Jing Ge politely invited the stunned Qin concubine into the room on the opposite side.

Jiang's mother said with a pleasant face, "You two doctors are both honest people. I won't make things difficult for you. But the court physician retired last month. It's getting late, and I'm afraid there might be trouble on the road. I wonder if you would be willing to stay in my humble home and serve as the court physician, so that you can treat my son. I will pay you 90 taels of silver per month. When my son is better, you can take the monthly salary and leave or stay."

The two looked at each other, and one of them cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Madam, for your kindness."
