of anxiety.Anger had long since been worn away by days of torment. No matter how angry he became, it couldn't change the fact that he couldn't even protect his wife and children.Now he only hopes his...Yuan Xiangli was very jealous. Hearing this, she froze in place, a fire burning in her heart.

She was just about to say "Don't even think about it," when she saw Zong Pingchuan pull the blanket over himself and lie down with his back to her, already asleep.

Yuan Xiangli glared at his back, her eyes brimming with tears, and she had already started to sob.

Could it be that he's truly grown tired of himself and wants to take a concubine

Zong Pingchuan knew he was too impulsive today, he shouldn't have let the beast in his heart show its fangs, it wasn't time yet.

Hearing Yuan Xiangli's sobs, he released his breath and remained facing away from her.

"Go to sleep. If I wanted a concubine, I would have taken one long ago. I wouldn't wait until today."

"You are a woman too, if Tai Wu acts too outrageously, how will Miss Wen think when she enters the household"

"As a husband, I just don't want our home to become chaotic and filled with smoke and chaos. Do you understand"

Zong Pingchuan gave Yuan Xiangli a step down, and Yuan Xiangli was wise enough to take it.

Hearing that her husband had no intention of taking a concubine, she truly let out a sigh of relief.

Then she immediately flung back the covers and pressed against Zong Pingchuan's back, whispering softly.

"If you dare to take me as a concubine, I will die."

Zhong Pingchuan let out a voiceless sigh and patted the hand on his waist.

"Sleep now."

Zong Pingchuan's people searched for three days in the capital, but they couldn't find Fang Jinshu's trace. Finally, they heard from the common people that they had moved.

Following the clues about the move, the people from Zongfu found their way to Jingwangfu all the way.

They didn't dare to go to the Jing Wangfu to ask for people, they could only return and report the matter to Zong Pingchuan.

"What You mean the whole family moved into Prince Jing's Residence"

The butler stood below, nodding vigorously.

"Master, many commoners have seen them move in with their own eyes. Furthermore, the Prince Jing even visited the widow's house himself."

"And bring a lot of gifts."

Yuan Xiangli heard this, slammed the table and stood up, glaring fiercely.

"Such a lowly widow, she managed to seduce the Prince Jing. This widow is truly capable."

But even if she hooked up with the Son of Heaven, it wouldn't help. She dared to hurt my son, even if she hid in the imperial palace, I would pull her out.

Zong Pingchuan's first reaction was much like Yuan Xiangli's.

He was rather curious. How beautiful must this widow be to attract the attention of King Jing, who had always been known for his aversion to women

She also invited her whole family to live in the palace.

"How could King Jing be so blind to fall for a widow"

"Wasn't he deeply devoted to his missing queen He never touched another woman, and the inner court was spotless, not even a blade of grass."

The Empress Dowager had mentioned several times about arranging another marriage for him, but he refused each time.

"If the Emperor and Empress found out that King Jing refused their betrothal and instead consorted with a lowly widowed woman from the common folk..."

Yuan Xiangli suddenly smiled and raised her eyebrows.

"How miserably did you say that widow died"

“It's definitely a hundred times worse than ending up in our hands.”

"Haha, what is she doing When we find a powerful King to rely on in the future, we won't be able to do anything about her. I didn't expect that in the end, she would end up hurting herself."

The more Yuan Xiang thought about it, the harder he laughed and couldn't stop.

"It's karma."

"I'm going to pack up and head to the palace to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."

zong pingchuan saw his wife analyze things so thoroughly, for the first time he didn't refute her words.

He nodded instead.

"Alright then, if the Empress Dowager takes action, our family can also benefit from it without offending Prince Jing."

Although King Jing was just a powerless and idle prince, he was deeply favored by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. Perhaps it was because he was harmless That's why he was even more favored.

To offend someone is also a hassle.

Yuan Xiangli nodded and hurriedly tidied herself up, preparing to enter the palace.

Fang Jinshi had been in the space for three days, finally preparing all kinds of medicinal herbs for treating the empress's illness, and some special medicines were also made.

She also made an anesthetic, and as she expected, the empress's illness still required a small surgery.

In ancient times, there were no sterile operating rooms. She could only prepare as thoroughly as possible just in case.

As she stepped out of the space, Xiaolu was still reluctant to let go. Fang Jinshi promised that she would definitely come in more often to keep it company, and only then did the little guy let her out.

As soon as she stepped out of the room, she saw that the house was packed with people.

Xiaoyue, Yuanbao, Dong'er, Yulian, Zongbai, even Mu shi and Jin Yu Qiu Ju were all there.

Is this

all of humanity

She blinked, her face blank with confusion, "Yes What happened"

She's not here for the next three days. What happened to her

Mu quickly pulled Fang Jinshi to her side and hugged her tightly.

"You little rascal! How did you get in here for so long, your mother thought you...thought you'd just disappear like that."

Mu shi's eyes quickly turned red as she spoke.

The expressions of the others were much the same. Yuan Bao and Dong'er, being the youngest, couldn't control their emotions the best and rushed forward to hug Fang Jinxiu, sobbing loudly.g with Yuanshi Mu and Yulian, had already taken refuge in the cellar.Now all she could do was trust Zhao Xingzhou and the guards at home.Zhao Yunni sat beside, without uttering a word since they enter...
