Divorced woman with child travels through time

Yu Long stood there defiantly, downed her tea in one gulp, and said, "I will definitely achieve excellent results in the exam to protect you all. On the first day of the lunar month, please say goodbye to the general and the others for me."

After saying that, he rushed out, indicating that he wanted to leave today.

"Wait a minute," Chu Yi called out to him.

His words carried some weight, and Yu Long immediately stopped speaking.

"Brother Feng!" Chu Yi looked at Wang Feng, who was standing next to him with an unwavering expression, and said, "Take a few brothers with you and go with him. With his personality, we don't know if he'll come back unscathed. He's also so good-looking. We don't want him to fall into someone's trap and get kidnapped again."

"Me?" Yu Long felt extremely wronged and was about to say something.

Shiwu rushed out, "Brother, Brother Xuan is awake!"

"I'll go check!" Chu Yi completely lost his composure from before, jumped up from his seat in a flash, and ran off like the wind.

"What's going on?" Yu Long and Ren Mu looked at Wang Feng with blank expressions.

Wang Feng shrugged. "I don't know either."

Cheng Xiang, who was happily showing off, poured himself a cup of tea and said casually, "Your young master from the royal family was injured in the leg by a sneak attack, but I heard it's nothing serious."

"What? I'll go check it out." Yu Long turned around and rushed into the room.

"I'll go take a look too." Ren Mu and Wang Feng squeezed into the room together.

Inside the room, a group of people were gathered around the bed, with Xiao Hao and Shiwu even sitting on the bed.

Yu Yu had somehow gotten onto the couch and lay down beside it.

"Brother Xuan, how are you?"

"Are you alright? Who hurt you? Have you seen who it was?"

"Brother Xuan, are you alright? I'm leaving tomorrow, so please take good care of yourself."

How are your legs?

A chaotic bunch of people were asking questions.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, don't ask. It's just a scrape, a scrape! The arrow missed its mark and it fell off right there! Don't ask."

Chen Xuanyu was on the verge of a breakdown. Every time someone asked him a question, how many times did he have to explain? He never wanted to get hurt again, ugh.

When Chen Wenfang and Wang Erniu arrived after hearing the noise, they saw this scene.

Chen Wenfang was speechless when she saw his energetic yet impatient demeanor.

Wang Erniu came in from behind. As soon as he entered the room, Chu Yi turned around and saw him, shouting loudly, "Godfather!"

Everyone immediately fell silent.

Wang Erniu nodded calmly, then embraced Chen Wenfang and brought her to the bedside. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Dad! I'm just a little hungry."

"Have your mother bring you some food later, and get some rest."

"kindness!"

Seeing that he was alright, Wang Erniu looked at Yu Long and said, "If you go to the capital, take a few people with you and be careful."

"Go and get another five hundred taels of silver. There are many places to spend money when you're traveling," Chen Wenfang said with a smile.

Yu Long was moved and remained silent, then solemnly bowed deeply to them.

The two left the room; these children were just too much to bear.

Meanwhile, the capital city was experiencing an unprecedented catastrophe.

In less than half a month, countless officials were dismissed, and batches of people were beheaded at Caishikou. The blood stained the mud on the ground red. With the assistance of the Imperial City Guard and the Imperial Guard, Song Wujin led the Imperial City Guard to collect the blood, while He Tianxia led the Imperial Guard to carry it out. For a time, they were unparalleled in their power.

The number of people whose homes were confiscated was countless, and the capital underwent a major reshuffle. As Zhao Jian watched his national treasury gradually fill up, he couldn't hide his smile. However, it was hard to say how many unknown secrets were involved in this corruption investigation. Nevertheless, with Song Wujin keeping an eye on things, Zhao Jian was still at ease.

He Tianxia was also happy to do this, so he agreed with full support. He took the opportunity to deal with a bunch of disobedient people, because there were not many clean people in this position. He needed to consolidate power, replace Zhao Changrong, and tell those people that although Zhao Changrong was dead, he, He Tianxia, ​​still had the emperor's favor. Things went as he wished. After killing a few more disobedient families, his prestige among the military officers had risen to the top, and no one dared to question him anymore.

Seeing the vacancies in the official positions, Zhao Jian came up with the idea of ​​holding more imperial examinations, hoping to give the higher-ups a fresh start and cleanse the government of corruption.

Prince De's Mansion.

Zhao Lue sat to the side, listening absentmindedly to the Prince De, who was now much better, shouting loudly. His hand unconsciously caressed his wife's high, swollen belly. In a few more months, his child would be born. He didn't want to care about any of this now; what did it have to do with him?

Cao Ruyu, with a sweet smile on her lips, ate the bird's nest on the table as if nothing had happened.

Zhao Qi and his wife listened helplessly to his father's nagging. There was nothing they could do; his father simply liked him, so he had to put up with it.

"This emperor is simply outrageous. If someone takes advantage of his power to settle personal scores, the world will be in chaos."

"Father, you can't attend court, why think so much? Just say less." Zhao Qi was tired of hearing this same thing over and over again.

“Who says I can’t go to court? You guys can get a cart and push me there. All those old guys are begging me for help, I can’t just not help them.” Zhao Shuo’s old face was all wrinkled and crumbling.

Zhao Qi pursed his lips, looking somewhat impatient.

"Your Highness, Princess Cao Cheng, son of the Eldest Princess, requests an audience." A servant reported just then.

Upon hearing this, Cao Ruyu paused for a moment while holding the spoon, then immediately continued drinking.

Zhao Lue glanced at her, lowered his gaze, and lightly tapped her stomach with his finger. That was her cousin. He had come to her door after failing to get her to help him.

Cao Ruyu turned around and nodded. The couple used a secret code that only they knew. After having a child, their relationship had improved a lot.

“Look at you two, you’re not getting any younger. I’m sick, and you two just abandon these poor relatives. Fine, I’ll take care of it myself.” Zhao Shuo struggled to sit up straight. “Go, call someone in. I want to see if this Jian’er still listens to me.”

Zhao Qi secretly rolled his eyes. Cao Cheng had become a pig while guarding the Xiangsi Palace, and he still called his relatives poor? This father of his dared to call the official Jian Ge'er. Did he really think that Zhao Jian was still the same illegitimate son he used to be? He didn't even look at his own good eldest son. He was so clever and cunning, and he didn't want to get into any trouble at this time.

"Please, Your Highness, for my mother's sake, save me!" Cao Cheng entered and bowed, his eyes squinting open on his plump face as he knelt down with great difficulty.

"Get up quickly. Don't worry, your mother and I have been playmates since childhood. I will definitely not stand by and watch you die. Tomorrow I will go to court to beg the emperor. He will definitely let you go." Zhao Shuo swayed and tried to help him up, almost falling over.

Zhao Qi and Zhao Lue stretched out their arms and pulled him back to his chair.

“Father, what are you saying? With your legs injured, how can you attend court?” Zhao Qi gave Zhao Lue a look and spoke first.

Seeing that he was willing to draw the fire, Zhao Lue temporarily joined forces with him and advised this ignorant father, "Qi-ge'er is right. The emperor is in high spirits right now. Father, you must not go and provoke him."

"Who said that? If everyone were like you, indifferent to everything, the world would be in chaos!" Zhao Shuo slammed his fist on the table in frustration.
