It had just been midnight, but the eldest princess's mansion was silent, as if it were late at night.
Aunt Lu took Wang Xiu all the way to the main room. When she entered the main room, a baby's small cry could be heard inside. After a while, the crying gradually stopped.
Wang Xiu sat in the open hall and waited, and soon the princess came out holding the child.
Wang Xiu saluted quickly, and the eldest princess said: "There is no need to be more polite. Thanks to you being there that night, otherwise the child and I may not have survived."
Wang Xiudao: "The eldest princess has great blessings, and the young master will also be safe."
The eldest princess smiled and held the child in her arms to show it to Wang Xiu.
The little bundle was sleeping in the arms of the eldest princess, looking very cute.
Wang Xiu wanted to reach out and poke his cheek, but he held back.
The eldest princess said: "I named him Anyian, Zhao Anyian."
Wang Xiu was surprised. If she remembered correctly, the consort's surname was Cao.
The eldest princess also seemed to know Wang Xiu's doubts. She first handed the child to the nurse, and then said: "I have checked what you said last time. It is him or not."
"He didn't give me the medicine, but he gave me the food. We didn't have much love as a couple, and now we've lost all the love."
"I called you here, firstly, because I wanted to thank you. Secondly, I was at a critical moment of life and death that day, and when I saw you barging in regardless, you wanted me to live. I was thinking at that time, if I could
As long as I live, I must make friends with you."
"I didn't have much expectations for your Wang family before. I even thought that your Wang family has so many direct descendants that I was afraid that you would have too much to take care of. But now that I have a child, I understand that only people like your father can be a good teacher for the prince."
Wang Xiudao: "The women of the common people are frightened, and there were many disrespectful things before. But since entering the prison, they have fully understood the truth that one will be prosperous and one will be harmed."
"Eldest Princess, please rest assured that in the future, the Wang family and the Lu family will be the arms of His Highness the Crown Prince, and they will definitely try their best to assist His Highness the Crown Prince."
Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess nodded slightly and continued: "Now it's time for the Lu family to leave Beijing to avoid the limelight. I heard that their ancestral home is in Wuxi. I'm afraid you won't be able to return to Beijing for a year or two."
Wang Xiudao said: "My father-in-law and my husband have discussed that we should go back and set up a school."
The eldest princess said: "It's okay, you can gain a good reputation through learning, but it's a pity that you have good medical skills."
Wang Xiu said quickly: "It is a pity that the Women's Association will open a medical clinic in the school to provide free clinics for students, and they will study medical skills."
The eldest princess felt that Wang Xiu had her own ideas, so she even had two boxes of medical books brought to her.
Then she presented the thank you gift she had prepared this time.
Wang Xiu was stunned when he saw what was presented to him.
The eldest princess said: "It's not convenient for you to carry gold and silver, so I asked someone to prepare 20,000 taels of silver notes for you. There is also a bottle of antidote pills, which was refined in the palace. I think you should be interested. Besides, it's convenient."
I have prepared my name post and token for you. If anyone in Wuxi gives you trouble, feel free to bully him and go back. The prince and I will make the decision for you when the time comes."
Wang Xiu was so frightened that he almost burst into tears. This... was very touching.
Whether it's money or not, it doesn't matter now.
The main reason is that the eldest princess has thought carefully and even prepared tokens for her.
After traveling through time, she originally thought of saving her life first, and saving the eldest princess was also out of consideration for the Wang family and herself.
but now……
Wang Xiu said quickly: "Your Highness, the emperor has already rewarded me with rewards before, and there is also my dowry..."
The eldest princess interrupted her: "I know, those were originally yours. Take it. Now that the Lu family has been confiscated, they rely on your dowry to survive. If you save these, treat them as your own private money."
.”
Wang Xiu was so moved that she cried. The eldest princess gave her a handkerchief and said with a chuckle: "Look at your worthless look. Where did the confidence to yell at Mrs. Zhang go?"
The Mrs. Zhang mentioned by the eldest princess is her mother-in-law, Mrs. Yong'an Hou.
Wang Xiu wiped her tears and whispered: "How can it be the same? The life of the eldest princess was at stake at that time, and the civilian woman didn't want to talk nonsense to her."
The eldest princess laughed happily and said cheerfully: "I just like your loyalty and sincerity. Come on, don't talk nonsense."
Wang Xiu burst into tears and laughed, but after she wiped away her tears, she did not leave in a hurry.
She looked at the gentle-looking eldest princess who was a first-time mother and said seriously: "Your Highness treats me as one of your own, so I will have the guts to say something unpleasant to Your Highness again."
Seeing her solemn expression, the eldest princess immediately said sternly: "You say it."
Wang Xiudao: "As the eldest princess, with the support of the emperor above and the leadership of the prince below, why should you accept their insolence in the Cao family?"
"It is their credit that Marquis Yong'an and the Crown Prince are good at fighting. What does it have to do with the Prince Consort and Mrs. Zhang? Why don't Your Highness take this opportunity to reconcile? Firstly, Your Highness already has a child. Secondly, it is not good for Your Highness to keep Consort Cao."
Sincerely. No matter whose hand the medicine came from, it is always the Cao family’s fault. If we really want to pursue it, several people will die."
"But the young master is young, and these killings are not very good after all. Whether they can harm the grown princess this time, who knows what will happen next time?"
"The civilian woman truly feels that Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, can take care of the child by herself. As for Consort Cao...it's okay not to do it!"
After hearing this, the eldest princess was astonished.
Wang Xiu also knew that what he said was too outrageous, so he said: "These are the foolish opinions of civilian women. Your Highness can just listen to them. As for what to do..."
"You're right!"
"Hahahahaha..."
"What you said is great, that's exactly what I meant."
The eldest princess laughed, and then saw Wang Xiu's silly and cute look, and couldn't help pinching her cheek.
"I have already discussed with the prince that we will wait until the child is a hundred days old before bringing up the matter of reconciliation. I just haven't figured out how to deal with the person behind it."
"But maybe you can give me an idea."
After that, he told the story about the love between Cao's consort and his cousin Zhang Hongyu. The person who poisoned the house was actually Mrs. Zhang's roommate, who was brought from the Zhang family and has now committed suicide out of fear of crime.
Mrs. Zhang kept saying she didn't know, and now she is so scared that she is bedridden.
Zhang Hongyu did not show up from beginning to end, but since Mrs. Zhang became ill, she was sent back to the Zhang family.
Wang Xiudao: "I want to know, does Consort Cao know that the food for the princess is poisonous?"
The eldest princess shook her head and said melancholy: "I don't know. I believe he really doesn't know, because every time he brings it, he will eat a piece first because he is afraid that I will think it is unclean."
Wang Xiudao: "That should be unknown, because this medicine is not only harmful to pregnant women, but also to men."
The eldest princess's eyes moved slightly, but she didn't say anything about asking Wang Xiu to go for diagnosis and treatment.
Seeing this, Wang Xiu returned to the topic: "It's not difficult to deal with this matter by hitting the snake seven inches away."
"Whether it was Mrs. Zhang or Zhang Hongyu who did this, they both took advantage of Consort Cao. Being betrayed by the most trusted person around him must have made Consort Cao feel the worst."
"Especially, after Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess reconciled with him, he saw that the child was not around, the mother could not be trusted, and the person he liked might be the mastermind behind the scenes, how could he still live peacefully. Mrs. Zhang saw the Eldest Princess and left,
She will definitely worry that the eldest princess will seek revenge in the future. If she did it, she will definitely be in panic all day long. If she didn't do it, wouldn't she be ruthless to find out? By then, Zhang Hongyu will not be able to enter the Cao family. Then she and she
How can we maintain the old friendship between Consort Cao and Cao?"
"What they rely on now is that the eldest princess is the daughter-in-law of the Cao family, but what if the eldest princess is not the daughter-in-law of the Cao family? Then they and the eldest princess will no longer be a family, so naturally they no longer dare to take any chances. Who or who will die?
Damn it, maybe a dog bites a dog and they all come out."
After hearing this, the eldest princess looked happy.
She held Wang Xiu's hand and said: "I wanted to retaliate severely before, but I was also afraid that they would make noisy things every day and make me uneasy. Now your trick is very clever. Wait for me to leave first, and then try to alienate them. I'm afraid that they will have trouble with me."
Have a good life?"
"Besides, because of the child, I don't want to get into a fight with the Cao family."
Wang Xiu said considerately: "Let's endure the anger for a while and see how they suffer in the future? No matter what, this bad breath will eventually come out!"
The eldest princess laughed. She felt that Wang Xiu had the same temperament as the prince, and she would have preferred Wang Xiu as her younger sibling if they had made friends earlier.
But now... although the Lu family made mistakes in flood control, it was not entirely without merit. After a few years, after the flood control crisis had passed, she would ask the prince to find an opportunity to revive the Lu family.
In this way, the Wang family and the Lu family can truly be regarded as the right-hand men of the prince!
