Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 167 Fishing for Mermaids
The queen laughed.

On the face that has been maintained all the year round, the delicate and creamy balm and jade oil were applied, which made her skin look shiny and ruddy, not at all like an old woman in her 60s.

But this smile exposed the wrinkles hidden under the makeup, making her whole face a little weird.

It's like wearing a human skin mask, looking young and beautiful, but it makes people shudder.

Her voice was slightly raised, but she spoke slowly and leisurely, with the confidence and coldness of a superior: "Three days, in just three days, you will be able to return to your post."

Wang Fan showed an expression of disbelief: "Is that girl so useful?" There was a hint of green light in his eyes, "I knew..."

If he had known what he was using Zhao Chengyu for, it wouldn't have been better to use Zhao Xiwei directly!
The queen mother saw through his thoughts at a glance, but she didn't say anything to reprimand, she just raised her eyebrows lazily: "Why are you so anxious? This beauty is like a fish in water. If you are too eager, you will scare her away. You You have to put enough bait, let the fish eagerly take the bait by itself, unable to break free and unable to escape, begging in your hands, this is not a fun."

"Yes, the empress dowager taught you the right thing." Wang Fan chuckled.

Just thinking about the effect of the Begonia drunken medicine made the desire in his heart burst out uncontrollably.

It was like a cluster of blazing flames, making him restless, wishing he could go and cast a net right now, and tie up that beauty...

The queen mother gave Wang Fan a sideways look, and coldly poured a basin of cold water on him: "Don't forget, that girl is Zhao Ziyi's baby lump. It doesn't matter if you want to steal it. If the secret is revealed, the Ai family will be fine." That face settles for you."

Wang Fan put away the salivation on his face, and said: "You don't need to remind the queen mother, my nephew and grandson also know what to do!"

"Oh?"

"Hey..." Wang Fan narrowed his small eyes, "I have already found out that Zhao Ziyi is going to Taihe Rice Shop to distribute disaster relief food at night..."

He lowered his voice as he spoke: "My grandnephew promises that both the crown prince and Zhao Ziyi will have to beg for your mercy when the time comes!"

"Very good." The Queen Mother nodded.

However, Wang Fan was still a little worried: "Queen Mother, can I really be reinstated? The Crown Prince doesn't seem like the kind of person who loses his sense of proportion for women. What if... what if he doesn't like this?"

"What are you afraid of?" The queen mother interrupted him forcefully, "You have me behind you, and the entire Wang family. If you can't be reinstated, then you should pry open your head and see what's inside."

"Yes, the empress dowager taught you the right thing." Wang Fan quickly admitted his mistake with a smirk, "It's because my nephew and grandson are too timid."

The Empress Dowager picked up the glass and took a sip of the purple-red wine. A red light suddenly appeared on that face like a human skin mask, which made people feel like a demon and couldn't be looked at directly.

Wang Fan bowed and stepped back quietly.

The Empress Dowager shook the wine glass lightly, and said in a lazy and charming voice: "Oh... the aftertaste of this wine is really strong..."

At night, Zhao Xiwei took the medicine before lying down and getting ready to sleep.

Jinxiu knelt in front of the couch, and carefully spread out her quilt.

Suddenly there was a sound of chaotic footsteps outside.

"Servant, go and have a look." Jinxiu got busy, but before she went out, Yinbao stumbled in.

"Miss, Mr. Xiang, something happened to Mr. Xiang!"

"What's the matter?" Zhao Xiwei lifted the quilt and sat up.

Yinbao's face was pale, and the corners of his mouth trembled a little, he completely lost the eloquence of the past: "Miss, there are some old mothers from Rong'an Hall outside, and they say that something happened at the rice shop..."

"Get to the point." Zhao Xiwei interrupted her in a low voice: "What's wrong with father?"

Only then did Yinbao come back to his senses, and reported: "It is said that the rice shop ran out of water, and Xiangye was seriously injured. The old lady told you to go to Rong'an Hall immediately."

Zhao Xiwei took a piece of clothing and put it on casually, and asked as he walked out, "How is the rice shop? How is your father's injury?"

"The rice shop is almost on fire, Mr. Xiang... Mr. Xiang was carried back by someone, and he hasn't woken up yet." Several women who came to deliver the letter had tears in their eyes, and their throats were a little choked when they said it .

Zhao Xiwei's heart also sank, but he didn't show any panic, he just helped the maids on the left and right to rush to Rong'an Hall.

The women who delivered the letter followed behind, and they peeked at the slender figure in front of them with their eyes.

I saw the girl walking hurriedly, turning around the corridor, entering the courtyard, and climbing up the steps. The whole journey was like wind and clouds, but the hem of her skirt did not move at all, with a kind of vigorous and straight like pine and cypress.

The women quietly wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes with their handkerchiefs, and then wiped the sweat from their foreheads, feeling somewhat at ease in their hearts.

They believed without doubt: If the third girl was not so calm, the sky in this mansion would collapse immediately.

Zhao Xiwei just came to the corridor of the main room, when he heard out of breath crying inside, mixed with the low voices of comfort from the servants: "Madam, please get up first." "Madam, please take care of yourself. "

Zhao Xiwei couldn't wait for the notification, so he pushed open the closed door.

There was chaos in the room.

The old lady sat in front of the couch, her face covered with tears.

Xu Yunjiao knelt beside the old lady, most of her body was lying on the couch, her shoulders were shaking unceasingly, crying heartbreakingly: "Zhao Xuan, wake up, look at me, look at me! I went out yesterday It’s fine, why is it like this after a day of not seeing you! What can you do if you call me like this? What should I do!”

The cry was so sad and sad that everyone in the room couldn't help crying.

She shook her husband's hand tremblingly, and tears rolled down from those beautiful Danfeng eyes: "Zhao Xuan, can you wake up? As long as you wake up, I promise you, I swear that I will never talk to Zhao Xi again." Slightly angry. Whether you want me to recognize her as my daughter or give her a generous dowry, I promise you, I can do it. Look at me, okay? I won’t make trouble anymore, never I won't be angry with you anymore, okay..."

The more she spoke, the more moved she became, and in the end she was almost begging, holding her husband's hand to her heart, and repeating a sentence: "I promise you everything, can you wake up?"

In this scene, Ren is a hard-hearted person, and he can't help but tighten his heart.

Everyone knows that Xu Yunjiao comes from a noble background and has an arrogant temperament, not to mention in the Zhao residence, even in the whole Chang'an, no one can make her humble like this.

When have you seen her so humble as dust?
The old lady stopped the tears and couldn't help filling her eyes.

She suppressed her grief, and although her voice still had some momentum, the words she uttered seemed weak and pale because of her hoarse voice: "Yunjiao, don't cry, you are the head of the family. Up and down rely on you to support, you must not fall down."
