Ye Zhenzhen seemed absent-minded in the following activities. She finally waited until the end and immediately went back to the house to look through the box containing Cui Weizhen's family letters.
She re-read every letter from home, but couldn't find any relevant explanation. If Princess Ding hadn't heard the rumors, Cui Weizhen had deliberately concealed the matter from her.
Ye Zhenzhen was confused. It wasn't that she didn't trust Cui Weizhen, but that she couldn't trust the so-called male instinct. She had been cheating on him for almost a year. If someone deliberately seduced him, maybe...
The more she thought about it, the more irritated she became. Ye Zhenzhen couldn't think of it and sent a letter. Not long after, she wrote another letter asking about the matter, and then asked Zhang San to take it to the inn for delivery immediately.
Aunt Cui heard that Ye Zhenzhen had returned home, but she had not seen her in Fuxi Courtyard for a long time, so she took the initiative to carry Wangzai to Mingxiyuan, and found her sitting on the swing in the yard in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
He looked devastated.
She immediately asked worriedly: "Zhen'er, you seem to be in a bad mood. Did something happen outside?"
Ye Zhenzhen suddenly came to her senses and realized that she had forgotten to say hello. She quickly stood up from the swing and said apologetically: "Mom, I have been riding a horse for a day today and I am very tired. I want to take a rest."
I'll go over and say hello to you after a while, I've made you worried."
Since the lesson learned last time, Ming Xiyuan’s servants did not dare to reveal their master’s privacy anymore. Therefore, Aunt Cui did not notice that Ye Zhenzhen was lying. She nodded in agreement and said with a smile: “That’s true. You are running outside.
After a long day, you are covered in horse smell and smoke, go take a shower and change clothes quickly, don't let Wang Zai get smoked."
Ye Zhenzhen also laughed and went to the bathroom to wash herself off before taking Wangzi back. Wangzi was easy to take care of and rarely got up at night to cry. However, Ye Zhenzhen suffered from insomnia and closed her eyes all night long, thinking wildly until dawn.
.
After sending the letter, Ye Zhenzhen counted the days and waited for Cui Weizhen's reply. Ten days later, Cui Weizhen's letter arrived.
It had only been ten days, and the letter she had sent out couldn't wait for a return. Ye Zhenzhen opened the letter and looked at it. Sure enough, there was no news about Yangzhou Beauty, but he mentioned another thing in the letter - he
We are leaving Yangzhou and heading to Lingnan.
The imperial court planned to build four academies. Taking into account the prosperous literary style in Jiangnan, it finally decided to build two academies in the Jiangnan area. Cui Weizhen stayed in Yangzhou for several months and had completed the preliminary preparations. Now both academies are under construction
stage, so we have to set off to the next academy location.
There is a reason why Lingnan has been called the land of the Southern Barbarians since ancient times. There was a miasma of poisonous insects and miasma here, and the people lived a hard life. There were not enough warehouses and they did not know the etiquette. Therefore, the folk customs were not open and there were many brave barbarians. Based on several considerations, Emperor Xuanwu decided to establish the Lingnan area.
Establish academies to achieve the purpose of educating the people.
Therefore, this task was quite arduous. After Cui Weizhen got on the right track in Jiangnan Academy, he rushed to Lingnan non-stop. This letter was sent back by him before departure, so he was the recipient of the letter sent by Ye Zhenzhen.
Not here anymore.
After receiving this letter, how could Ye Zhenzhen care about Nian Feng being jealous and suspicious? They had long been replaced by worry and anxiety - Cui Weizhen never told her that he was going to Lingnan when he set out, if it weren't for the absence of the person
Yangzhou would arouse worries and suspicions in his family, and he was afraid that he would continue to hide it.
When Aunt Cui saw this family letter, she was stunned and kept mumbling: "Why did this child run away to Lingnan without saying a word? At the beginning, he was not given any medicine to remove miasma and poison.
What should I do if something unexpected happens?"
Ye Zhenzhen was also worried, but had to cheer up to comfort Aunt Cui: "Mom, don't worry, Wei Zhen is not reckless. Since he is going to Lingnan, he must have prepared something. He also
With the Yulin Army on your side to protect you, nothing will happen to you."
Aunt Cui was still uneasy and immediately asked people to search for medicines to remove the miasma and poison in the area. Ye Zhenzhen also stopped her and even went to the Imperial Physician Xu's house to visit in person and begged him to prescribe some special medicines.
Dr. Xu was not good at this, but his colleague, Dr. Zhao, was from Lingnan and was a master in this field. Ye Zhenzhen took Dr. Xu's name card and paid a visit.
Although Imperial Doctor Zhao's Mandarin language was not standard, he was a very nice person and he readily prescribed prescriptions for her. This act was equivalent to giving prescriptions as a gift, which made Ye Zhenzhen so grateful that she picked up the prescriptions herself after returning home.
Come to the door politely to say thank you and repay the friendship.
Ye Zhenzhen took the medicine according to the prescription and prepared everything. She waited for Cui Weizhen's letter from home, and then sent the things when she had a place to stay. Unexpectedly, there was no news after more than half a month, not only Cui Auntie, but also Ye Zhenzhen
I couldn't help but panic.
To make matters worse, Aunt Cui fell ill because of overthinking. Ye Zhenzhen had to serve her mother-in-law and take care of the children at the same time. In addition, she was worried about Cui Weizhen. Her body, which she had not been able to lose even though she practiced yoga hard, was gradually weakening. If
If Pengpeng and Huwa were still there, she might not be able to hold on alone.
The imperial doctor checked her pulse and said that Aunt Cui fell ill because of overthinking. She could only prescribe some Taiping medicines to take. Heart diseases also require heart medicine. If there is no news from Cui Weizhen for a day, Aunt Cui's illness will not be cured.
Aunt Cui did not forget Cui Weizhen in her hospital bed and asked for news about him every day. Ye Zhenzhen had no choice but to ask the King of Wei again.
She had already been to Prince Wei's Mansion once before, but there was no news about Prince Wei, but he promised to inform them as soon as there was news, but there was still no news yet.
Only this time, she met King Wei as soon as she went out. His expression was a little solemn. Ye Zhenzhen's heart skipped a beat for no reason, and then she heard the bad news.
Cui Weizhen encountered bandits in Lingnan and became separated from his escort. His whereabouts are still unknown.
The King of Wei looked solemn, but he still said with relief: "Mrs. Cui, please take care of yourself. This is a report that has been urgently returned to the capital for only 800 miles today. I will inform you after I get the news. The Royal Forest Army and the local garrison
Everyone is searching for Wei Zhen's whereabouts. Don't worry, no news is the best news. Wei Zhen is lucky and will be fine, so nothing will happen to him."
Ye Zhenzhen was not comforted at all and said, excluding the time on the road, Cui Weizhen should have been missing for more than half a month. If no one was found for more than half a month, wouldn't it be a disaster?
She felt that all the strength in her body had been drained away, and her vision was getting dark. Her few senses allowed her to ask: "Your Highness, will the imperial court send people to search and rescue?"
King Wei was silent for a while before replying: "Don't worry, I will ask my father to send troops for support."
Ye Zhenzhen gave a deep blessing and said: "Your Highness is so kind that I will never forget it."
King Wei sighed, "It doesn't have to be like this. Wei Zhen is my best friend and a loyal minister of the imperial court. Even if I were not there, my father would not give up on him."
