The Lady's Code for Raising Her Husband

Chapter 1039 Internal strife

Xie Ziyan didn't know about Ye Yuxiao and Ouyang Sheng's arrangements. During the entire banquet, she had only one thing on her mind: Hua Zixu had secretly poisoned her!

She has been so unsatisfied these years and has never thought about death. Why should Hua Zixu end her life in advance in a few years?

She originally planned to take advantage of this banquet to embarrass Ye Yuxiao and bring her face down, but now she has no intention of doing so.

As soon as the banquet ended and she got on the carriage, she wanted to question Hua Zixu face to face, but after thinking about it again, she swallowed her words. What could she do if she questioned Hua Zixu? She knew his character very well. Even if she asked, he would not admit it, let alone detoxify her. This matter needs to be considered in the long run.

What she didn't expect was that she didn't question Hua Zixu, but Hua Zixu didn't let her go. As soon as he got off the carriage and entered the house, Hua Zixu grabbed her by the throat and pushed her against the wall.

Xie Ziyan couldn't breathe immediately, struggled desperately, and shouted in a confused voice: "What are you going to do? Why did I offend you again?"

Hua Zixu gritted his teeth and said, "I have a lot of things to do these days, and I haven't settled the two accounts with you yet. I'm going to settle them with you today."

Xie Ziyan tried her best to break off his hand: "What did I do wrong? Why do you want to settle accounts with me?"

"You didn't do anything wrong? It seems that your memory is very bad. You need to take medicine to cure it." Hua Zixu was probably afraid that he would strangle her to death before he finished speaking, so he temporarily released her throat. He threw her to the ground, "I asked you to go to Jiangnan to find out why Princess Yingchuan went to treat your grandfather. But after you went there, you accomplished nothing, but as soon as Princess Yingchuan came back, you took advantage of the Queen Mother. Line. Isn’t this your dereliction of duty?!”

Xie Ziyan was thrown by him, and all the bones in her body ached, but she didn't bother to get up, and hurriedly defended: "I swear to God, when Ye Yuxiao and the others were in Jiangnan, they didn't mention the Queen Mother at all!"

"They didn't mention it. You can't find a way to find out on your own? Otherwise, why don't I just ask the prince to send secret guards to eavesdrop on their conversation? Why do you have to go all the way to the south of the Yangtze River?" Hua Zixu immediately retorted. Her words.

"I asked about it, who loses? I didn't ask about it?" Xie Ziyan continued to defend herself, "Believe it or not, they went to Jiangnan and had nothing to do with the Queen Mother. If nothing else, at least my grandfather had nothing to do with the Queen Mother. It’s irrelevant, how could it be possible that they treated my grandfather’s illness and the Queen Mother protected them?”

The information Hua Zixu found was no different from what Xie Ziyan said. They did not find any connection between Dou Zhichu and the Queen Mother. Now that he heard Xie Ziyan's words of certainty, he couldn't help but hesitate.

Xie Ziyan noticed the change in his attitude and quickly struck while the iron was hot: "According to me, you made a mistake in this matter. Ye Yuxiao took Chunxiao to treat my grandfather, but she didn't open a medical clinic for a long time, and her hands were itchy. That’s all. As for the Queen Mother protecting her, it has nothing to do with this matter. You don’t want to find out how she got involved with the Queen Mother, but instead you question me here, isn’t it a waste of time? "

Is it really a waste of time? Hua Zixu fell into self-doubt.

Xie Ziyan took the opportunity to get up from the ground and said, "I might as well tell you that Ye Yuxiao and the Queen Mother are inextricably linked. It's just that you didn't know it since you came to Daxi not long ago."

"What connection does she have with the Queen Mother?" Hua Zixu asked immediately.

Xie Ziyan said: "Ye Yuxiao once cured the hernia of Bao Geer, the grandson of Gui Guogong, and that Gui Guogong was the Queen Mother's biological brother! Also, Ye Yuxiao's sworn sister Dai Peilan married the King of Lingnan The Crown Prince, and King Lingnan is the Queen Mother’s cousin!”

"With such connections, it is normal for the Queen Mother to protect Ye Yuxiao. Maybe it was Dai Peilan who persuaded the Queen Mother and then set up a bridge for them. You know, Dai Peilan was originally a doctor at Mingche Medical Center , you closed Mingche Medical Clinic and caused her to lose her job. Can she not be anxious? Can she not help Ye Yuxiao find a solution? You ignored such obvious clues and did not inquire about it, but you questioned me here, It’s really baffling.”

Dai Peilan? It turns out that there is Dai Peilan between Ye Yuxiao and the Queen Mother? Hua Zixu really didn't know what Xie Ziyan said just now. He silently reviewed the relationship between Ye Yuxiao and the Queen Mother, then turned and went straight to the Prince's Mansion.

In the prince's palace, the prince was discussing state affairs with Liang Guodong, Zhou Hongjie and Jiang Jie. Hua Zixu walked in with a sullen face, without even being polite, and asked them: "Princess Yingchuan's sworn sister Dai Peilan is married to the Queen Mother's cousin. Why have you never mentioned this? Now Ye Yu Xiao has already been protected by the Queen Mother, it will be difficult to deal with her again in the future!"

No one has ever dared to speak to the prince in this tone. The prince's face immediately darkened: "Since you agreed to this king to deal with Princess Yingchuan, shouldn't it be up to you to inquire about these obvious relationships? This is not the case. As long as you pay a little attention, you can know what kind of secret it is. Up to now, you and Princess Yingchuan have fought several times, but you don’t even know these things. It shows how careless you are. No wonder you can still control Yingchuan until now. Princess Sichuan, let’s fight.”

Hua Zixu snorted and said: "I am very grateful to His Highness for taking me to Daxi and giving me a chance to treat the emperor. But the reason why I can now gain a foothold in Daxi and gain the emperor's favor is , relying on my own true ability, but it has nothing to do with His Highness."

When the prince heard what he said, his face became even darker: "Are you trying to cross the river and burn the bridge?"

Hua Zixu bowed slightly: "I didn't mean that, I just want His Highness to know that even if I don't have your support now, the Emperor can't do without me, and I can still live a prosperous life in Daxi, and The reason why I am still willing to serve His Highness is because I am a person who keeps my promises."

Does he mean that he is worthless and he is not willing to work for him at all, but he only reluctantly stays under him because of his reputation? ? The prince was so angry that he put his hand on the sword at his waist, wishing to kill him now.

Seeing that the prince was very angry, Zhou Hongjie was afraid that the prince's anger would be turned on him. After all, it was he who recommended Hua Zixu in the first place: "Miracle doctor Hua, you can't say that. If the emperor still favors you, how many more years can he trust you? If I didn't remember, Wrong, if you extend the emperor's life, you can only let him live for another half year at most. When the emperor dies and the prince ascends the throne, the person you will ultimately rely on will not be His Highness?"

This was a secret "reminding" Hua Zixu that after the emperor's death, the prince would settle accounts with his queen, and it would be better to surrender quickly. Who knows that Hua Zixu is not afraid at all: "I am from the Tuo Kingdom, not from Daxi. Even if His Highness succeeds to the throne, you cannot do whatever you want with me. At the worst, I will go back to the Tuo Kingdom."
