Chapter 91: Collaboration Again (Two Chapters in One)

This was Zhao Shiqing's eighth night living here, and she thought she might never know what her parents and grandmother looked like.

After all, when she was first able to look at them with her own eyes, they were reduced to dry bones.

As ordinary people, there were no portraits passed down to future generations, so Zhao Shiqing had to rely entirely on his imagination to imagine what they looked like.

However, on the first night after she carried her parents and grandmother up the mountain with a banner, she unexpectedly saw them in her dream.

The father is handsome, the mother is beautiful, and the grandmother is kind. They sit together and chat and laugh.
When the first ray of morning light shone into the room, Zhao Shiqing opened his eyes and everything in his dream came vividly to his mind. Zhao Shiqing raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a big smile.

It was early winter, and the mornings in Wu were damp and cold. Zhao Shiqing walked out of the house and Lingbo put a hood on her. Under the plain hood, her young face with red lips and white teeth looked energetic.

Zhen Wuduo was practicing the Five Animal Exercises in the yard, while Xiao Zhen stood beside him expressionlessly with a fake face on his face.

Zhao Shiqing greeted them with a smile and went to swing. Since she moved here, she would swing on the swing a few times every day. At first, she hoped to remember some past events, but later it became a habit.

She is no longer the little girl who could only sit on the swing and be pushed by others. Now, she stands on the swing, uses her legs to swing it high into the sky, again and again, like a dancing elf, drawing arcs in the air.

The last time, she jumped directly off the swing and somersaulted in the air, which made Zhen Wuduo worried: "Be careful, oh, be careful."

Zhao Shiqing showed off a little and felt even better.

She walked up to Xiao Zhen and said, "I've been busy these days and haven't had a chance to thank you. Thank you for fixing the swing and thank you for stopping me that day."

The second thank you, Zhao Shiqing was referring to Xiao Zhen's timely action when the corpse was dug up that day.

Xiao Zhen hummed, and then there was no more words.

Zhen Wuduo was so angry that he glared at her. When he looked at Zhao Shiqing, he smiled and said, "My dear granddaughter, your uncle has a problem in his head. You don't have to pay attention to him."

萧真
Zhao Shiqing.
Before Xiao Zhen got angry, Zhao Shiqing quickly changed the subject.

"Grandpa, I've been too busy these past few days and haven't really talked to you about this. That day in the bamboo forest, I remembered the scene when I was captured, but I couldn't see anyone. I only had the feeling at that time.

Also, I heard from Ling Bo that you determined that Doctor Yang was the imperial physician?"

Zhen Wuduo pointed inside the house and said, "Let's go have breakfast and talk while we eat."

There is no rule in the pirate family that you cannot talk while eating or sleeping, so the grandparents and grandchildren chatted while eating.

“That Doctor Yang came from the capital. He was going to the capital before he died. He said he wanted to treat an important person. In addition, he had offended someone in the capital, so he left the capital and traveled around with his grandson.

All these signs indicate that he was an imperial physician before he left the capital.

When he was rescued by your father, he told Chen Lizheng his name, which was Yang Bingyi.

At this point, Zhen Wuduo looked at Xiao Zhen, who shook his head: "I have never heard of this person."

Zhen Wuduo snorted coldly: "It's normal that you haven't heard of it. Back then, you were just a seven or eight-year-old kid. What could you know? Besides, if I'm not mistaken, this Yang Bingyi is either his alias or his courtesy name."

Xiao Zhen had discovered long ago that when the old man had only a bunch of real and fake sons, he liked his godson no matter how he looked at him.

But ever since the old man recognized his granddaughter, he found everything about Xiao Zhen unpleasant.

Others have stepfathers when they have a stepmother, but now there is no stepmother, so Zhen Wuduo looks like Xiao Zhen’s stepfather no matter how you look at it.

Forget it, considering that it was pitiful enough for the old man to send his son off, he would not care about it.

As long as the old man is happy.

But Zhen Wuduo obviously didn't want to let Xiao Zhen go easily. Although he disliked this godson now, he would still use him when the time came.

"Come, let's continue talking about Doctor Yang, no, Imperial Physician Yang."

Zhen Wuduo said this and looked at Zhao Shiqing. His voice was so gentle that Xiao Zhen couldn't bear to look at him: "My dear granddaughter, tell me, what other clues can you find from this imperial doctor Yang?"

Zhao Shiqing thought for a moment and said, "My parents looked for famous doctors for my eyes but to no avail. However, this doctor Yang cured me.

Grandpa, I was still blind when I first entered the palace. There were imperial physicians in the palace. My father asked Imperial Physician Han to treat me. After examining me, Imperial Physician Han said that my eyes could still be cured and that the treatment was not difficult.

It was for this reason that my father thought that my biological parents were poor and unable to treat me, which led to my eyesight being damaged.

And just as Doctor Han said, he just gave me the most common medicine and my eyes were cured.

I had not thought too much about this matter for many years, but when I came to Zhuxitang and heard many legends about my family, I became certain that it was Doctor Yang who cured my eyes. Originally, the medicine bag could have been removed in two or three days, but something happened at home and the medicine bag on my eyes was removed when I was abducted that night. After that, I was transferred from Wu to Liang and the treatment was interrupted. In fact, my eyes had already healed by then, but in the eyes of others, I was still a little blind. It was not until I entered the palace that Doctor Han treated me again. Originally, it would have taken two or three days to cure, but because of the delay, I did not see the light until more than ten days later.

Every doctor has his or her own specialty, and this is especially true for the imperial physicians who can enter the Imperial Hospital. Therefore, this Imperial Physician Yang should be best at treating eye diseases."

Zhen Wuduo nodded repeatedly: "Not bad, not bad, there is also such a saying in the village, this doctor Yang is too arrogant and disdains common minor illnesses.

This man had offended people in the capital, and he was still like that when he came to Zhuxitang. He did not treat common diseases. Firstly, it was his personality, and secondly, he was only interested in eye diseases. As for those diseases that he was not interested in, he felt bored even if he took one more look at them. "

Zhao Shiqing looked at Xiao Zhen again: "Mr. Zhen, ten years ago, was there a big shot in the capital who suffered from eye disease?"

Xiao Zhen was startled at first, then he slowly said, "Yes."

"Who is it?" Zhao Shiqing became interested. Let's take a look. The environment has a huge impact on people. Xiao Zhen is only three years older than her, but one of them is in the capital and the other is in the mountains.

Ten years ago, she was a child and Xiao Zhen was also a child, but she didn't know what Xiao Zhen knew.

Xiao Zhen didn't know that Zhao Shiqing was comparing him to himself.

He said: "Emperor Xiaokang."

Zhao Shiqing hurriedly asked: "Who is Emperor Xiaokang?" Forgive her, she really doesn't know.

Zhen Wuduo quickly tried to make amends for his precious granddaughter: "Can't you explain it clearly? Qingqing was only four or five years old at the time, and she was undergoing eye treatment."

Xiao Zhen had no choice but to explain again: "It's the former crown prince."

Zhao Shiqing was stunned. Okay, she remembered that the current emperor seemed to have enthroned the former crown prince as emperor. As for who the emperor was, she was not interested and did not remember it.

Xiao Zhen looked at her and thought, even though you don’t even know about Emperor Xiaokang, you have the ability to make the current emperor think that he is going to be punished by heaven.

Zhao Shiqing was a curious baby. She said to Xiao Zhen very sincerely, "I know that after the death of the former crown prince, the emperor passed the throne to the current emperor and went to Changshou Palace to cultivate himself. But I didn't know until today that the former crown prince had an eye disease. But didn't he die of a sudden heart attack after drinking? Just like my father, I have never heard of him having an eye disease when I was in Liangdi. Can you tell me in detail?"

Xiao Zhen blocked the news that Prince Xian had suffered from eye disease and hid in a Taoist temple to recuperate, but the imperial doctors were helpless. Later, the news still spread, but it was not long before it was blocked again by the Embroidered Uniform Guard. In addition, Prince Xian passed away not long after, so no one mentioned the fact that he had suffered from eye disease again.

Zhao Shiqing's eyes lit up: "Doctor Yang was once the imperial physician, so it was no secret in the Imperial Hospital that he was good at treating eye diseases. When the former crown prince suffered from an eye disease, he thought of him and sent someone to invite him to the capital to treat him.

I once thought of what my grandmother told me while I was on the swing. She said that Doctor Yang would not leave until I removed the medicine bag on my eyes. So Doctor Yang had already decided to go to Beijing to treat the prince's eyes, but he died before he was about to leave?"

At this point, Zhao Shiqing looked at Zhen Wuduo and said, "Grandpa, those bad guys don't really want to kill the Shi family, but Doctor Yang!
Some people did not want the late crown prince to cure his eye disease, so they sent someone to kill Doctor Yang.

Doctor Yang lived in our house, so everyone in our family was silenced.

It is not our Shi family that implicates Imperial Doctor Yang, but Imperial Doctor Yang that implicates our Shi family."

Zhen Wuduo sighed: "After all, Doctor Yang cured your eyes, so there is no need to complain about him."

Zhao Shiqing: "But my father saved Doctor Yang's grandson first. Their lives were saved by my father. He treated my eyes to repay his kindness. It is a fact that the three of us in the Shi family died because of him.

I would rather be blind than let them live!"

Zhao Shiqing was already in tears. Why? The person who saved others would be implicated? Doctor Yang's grandson was still alive, but the Shi family was nearly wiped out. Wipeout!
Of course, she is still alive, but the reason she can live to this day is not because those bad guys are kind-hearted and let her go, but because she met a noble dog and a noble person.

In all of this, they are the most innocent family.

Zhao Shiqing suddenly looked at Xiao Zhen: "Is that Emperor Xiaokang your uncle?"

Xiao Zhen did not deny it: "Emperor Xiaokang and my mother have the same father and mother, and the current emperor has the same father but different mothers."

Zhao Shiqing: "After Emperor Xiaokang died, the Emperor passed the throne to the present emperor, so the beneficiary of this incident is the present emperor, and the instigator who killed my parents is also the present emperor, right?"

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Fortunately, Zhao Shiqing was facing the former great pirate Zhen Wuduo and the reborn Xiao Zhen, otherwise what she had just said would be enough to scare people to death on the spot.

Zhao Shiqing no longer cares whether it will scare people to death or not. She only cares about who will benefit if Emperor Xiaokang becomes blind.

Of course it is the current, former second prince.

Zhao Shiqing's fists clenched loudly. Who was the real murderer behind his father's death? Everyone knew the truth, but in the end, only a few minions were dealt with.

For the sake of the eldest brother's throne and for the sake of Liang, everyone can only endure it. If the king wants his subjects to die, the subjects must die, even if it is in such a shady way.

But what about the Shi family?
The Shi family is just an ordinary family, living their small life in the countryside far away from the capital.

Why is it that when gods fight, it is the Shi family that is wiped out?
Why?

At this time, a pair of chopsticks knocked over: "My dear granddaughter, do you want to rebel? What will happen after the rebellion? You will resist the imperial court to the end with your passion and sacrifice the last sap of the Shi family?"

How could Zhao Shiqing not know such a simple truth?
What's more, she has the Liang Palace behind her. If she rebels, it is equivalent to the Liang Palace rebelling. This is no longer a small fight of ordinary people. The current emperor has finally got the handle on the Liang Palace. From now on, the Liang lineage will be nailed to the pillar of shame and become traitors. The court will openly send troops to Liang and eventually reduce the power of the vassal state!
Zhao Shiqing slammed the table and said, "If the open way doesn't work, let's do it covertly."

Xiao Zhen, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head and said, "We can cooperate again. The last cooperation was very successful."

Zhao Shiqing was stunned, lowered his voice, and pointed to the sky: "Isn't that your uncle?"

Xiao Zhen sneered: "Do you know why I faked my death?"

Zhao Shiqing shook her head. She really didn't know.

Xiao Zhen: "Because he wanted to kill me, and he did it. I almost died, and in order to save my life, I had to fake my death to escape."

What else did Zhao Shiqing not understand? The eldest princess and her husband were also on that person's death list that day, but they were saved by her by accident and did not die.

Zhao Shiqing could see that the man was really cruel. He killed people on a family basis with the purpose of wiping out the entire clan.

For the Shi family, who were small-time people, all of them died quietly.

For a big figure like the Princess, the Princess and her husband were killed in Zither Villa in Liangdi, while Xiao Zhen was killed in the capital. As a concubine's son, Xiao Yue was as humble as dust and was not even included in the extermination of the entire family.

No, Xiao Yue was most likely not missed, he might have been hiding.

Zhao Shiqing recalled that when she came to the capital, she couldn't find Xiao Yue. When she first met Xiao Yue, he was in disguise and living in Mr. Bai's house.

As if he had guessed what Zhao Shiqing was thinking, Xiao Zhen said, "I was lucky enough to survive. After I woke up, I asked Da Zhuang to go to the capital to inform Xiao Yue. Before that person could take action, Xiao Yue hid. Later, my parents returned to the capital in a high-profile manner and left Liangdi. They lost their usefulness and became safer. But I am already dead, so I cannot show up for the time being. So I asked you to help take Xiao Yue away."

Zhao Shiqing finally understood everything. She suddenly stretched out her hand towards Xiao Zhen: "Okay, let's work together!"

Xiao Zhen was stunned at first, then he stretched out his hand, but his hand only touched Zhao Shiqing's fingertips before he retracted it.

"cooperate!"

Zhen Wuduo watched the interaction between the two young men, but rarely said a word, as if he was thinking about something.
