The crisp sound of the porcelain falling to the ground could be heard from inside the house, and it was also accompanied by Murong Tao's heart-piercing roar: "Get out, you all get out! Get out!"

Murong Jue held her hands behind her back and watched with a gloomy face as the maid in the house was driven out by her nephew.

"Second Master!" The panic-stricken maid shuddered when she saw him outside the door, and hurriedly knelt down.

"Fourth Young Master refuses to take medicine?"

"This servant is incompetent. Fourth Young Master, he, he broke the medicine bowl." The maid replied with her head lowered and her voice trembling.

Murong Jue's face was a little ugly again: "You go down! Then order someone to re-decoct the medicine."

The maid left.

Since his nephew broke his legs, his temperament has changed greatly, and the whole person has become gloomy. He doesn't know how many maids have been driven away by him, and how many things have been smashed. And there was no laughter.

He took a deep breath and was about to push the door in, when he saw his confidant guard hurriedly approaching: "General, I've found it!"

His pupils shrank, grabbed him and asked, "Who is it?"

The guard whispered a few words, and his face suddenly changed: "I checked it out? Are you sure it's him?"

"I checked it out, the Fourth Young Master's leg was indeed broken by him!" The guard's tone was very determined.

Murong Jue gritted his teeth, his face was full of suffocating energy, and the blue veins on his forehead beat: "Okay, good, very good, I think I, Murong Jue, thinks that I am smart, but I never thought that I would be played with applause like this! This revenge is not repaid, Murong Jue swears not to be human!!"

This night, Wei Junhang went to the office a lot later than usual. There were only a few pedestrians on the road. After working all day, he was quite tired. He closed his eyes for a while, and suddenly felt that the sedan chair stopped. , was about to ask in detail, when he heard the entourage outside say: "Master Guo, someone fell on the ground at the intersection ahead."

"Go and see what's going on!" Wei Junhang ordered.

However, after a short while, the entourage ran back: "Master Guo, you can see clearly, it is the eldest son of the former Honglu Temple Minister Zhou, who was attacked and injured and unconscious."

The eldest son of the Zhou family? Wei Junhang suddenly opened the car curtain: "I'll go take a look!"

He hurriedly walked towards the figure lying on the ground not far away, walked all the way to the person, squatted down and took a look, and recognized that the blood-stained person was Zhou Chang!

"Quick, take him to the nearest hospital, and then go to Zhou's house to inform Mrs. Zhou Shao!" he commanded loudly.

At the hospital, after the doctor had bandaged Zhou Chang's wound, Wei Junhang frowned and asked, "Where is he injured? How is it?"

The doctor sighed: "This young man has multiple fractures all over his body, especially his legs. He was injured the most. Fortunately, he found it in time, otherwise his life would be completely ruined. However, his injuries are cured. , I am afraid that walking will not be able to return to the beginning in the future."

Wei Junhang's face was a little complicated, looking at Zhou Chang's pale face, his eyes fell on his injured legs that were firmly fixed by splints.

So, are these legs almost ruined?

A faint guess formed in his mind, he sighed lowly, and ordered someone to send him back to Zhou Mansion.

Jiang Shi, who had a big belly for five or six months, almost didn't pass out when he saw the tragic state of her husband being carried back.

When Zhou Chang woke up and learned about his condition, his face was as pale as paper.

"Husband...how could this be? Who did it?" Jiang Shi asked while holding his hand with swollen eyes.

The severe pain on his body came one after another, and the pain caused cold sweat on his forehead, but he just tightened the quilt on his body. After a long time, Fang murmured: "Retribution, retribution, this is all retribution..."

"Husband, what did you say? What retribution? Why is there retribution?" Jiang Shi wiped his tears and asked.

Zhou Chang didn't seem to hear her words, but continued to mutter something like 'retribution'.

It's all retribution, it's all retribution...

Seeing that he was like a madman, Jiang Shi just kept mumbling to himself, his heart aching like a twist.

Zhou Chang's injury was quickly reported to Prince Ping's Mansion, and Zhou Wanning returned to Zhou Mansion in the company of Prince Ping. As soon as he saw his elder brother with a pale face on the bed, and then looked at the wounds he was wearing, he couldn't bear it any longer. Can't stop crying.

She finally stopped crying under the persuasion of the maid. She walked out of the room, came to Jiang's place, wiped her tears and asked, "Do you know who hurt the big brother..."

The words stopped abruptly when he saw the undisguised resentment on Jiang's face: "Big, big sister-in-law, what's wrong with you, what's wrong with you?"

"Now, why, why can you continue to live a stable life with peace of mind?" Jiang shi stared at her with sharp eyes.

"I..." Zhou Wanning was taken aback by her reaction.

"Everyone has paid the price, why can you still live your life with peace of mind! Murong Tao broke his leg, Wei Chenglin left, his father was demoted, and now even your eldest brother has suffered this great crime, and all of this is because of You stand up!! Everyone is wrong, everyone has paid for their own mistakes, why are you innocent!!" After speaking, Jiang's voice has become quite sharp.

"Sister-in-law, I..." Zhou Wanning wanted to hold her to explain, but Jiang Shi forcefully flicked her hand away, "Do you want to say that it's none of your business? If it wasn't for you, how could my father set up a bureau and destroy it? Murongtao's legs; if it wasn't for you, how could he have dealt with the British government; if it wasn't for you, how could your eldest brother get such revenge today! It's all because of you!!"

The more Jiang Shi said, the more excited she became. Her body kept shaking with anger. When she got to the back, she pointed to the door and screamed, "Get out! Get out of here!!"

As soon as the words fell, her eyes darkened, and she fainted because she was too excited. It was the maid who had been paying attention to her and quickly supported her.

"Please doctor!" The panicked screams of the maids rang out immediately. Zhou Wanning looked at the scene in front of her with a pale face, and the people who came in and out seemed to have completely forgotten about her.

"Madam fainted suddenly because she was too emotional. Madam's pregnancy is not very stable, she needs to rest in peace." The old doctor sighed.

"Thank you doctor." King Ping glanced at Zhou Wanning, who was sitting on the side unresponsive, and ordered the doctor to be sent out.

Zhou Wanning didn't know how she got back to the palace, only that King Ping accompanied her back to the main courtyard, and when she turned her head, Concubine Kong found a reason to invite her over.

After Concubine Kong entered the door, she quickly took over the stewardship of the inner house. Although she was not very favored, with the support of Concubine Li in the palace, no one in the palace dared to disrespect her.

She watched him leave blankly, and Jiang's words echoed in her ears again and again.

Murong Tao's legs were broken because of her, Wei Chenglin was gone because of her, her father was demoted because of her, and her brother was revenge because of her. She was the root of all evil...

Is she wrong? Two lines of clear tears slowly fell. Maybe she was really wrong, but is it too late to regret it now?

When King Ping came back, it was time to light the lights.

"I heard all the words my sister-in-law said to you today." King Ping looked at her calmly and said slowly.

Zhou Wanning bit his lips lightly, and in his indifferent sight, for some reason, a feeling of nowhere to hide suddenly appeared.

"Guanning, is your heart still there?"

Looking at this soft and beautiful face in front of him, he suddenly lost the courage to continue, and smiled bitterly: "You have a good rest!"

"His Royal Highness..." Zhou Wanning subconsciously wanted to stop him, but he could only see the back of his leaving.

When Shen Xinyan saw Zhou Wanning again, it was at Lingyun Temple.

She has not seen Zhou Wanning ever since she met her when King Ping accepted his concubine. In the past, when entering and leaving the palace, the female family members of Prince Ping's mansion were only Concubine Kong. It can be said that in the eyes of the concubine of the various palaces today, Zhou Wanning, the well-established Princess Ping, has become invisible.

She was not surprised by this.

The Kong family in the previous life was quite a person with means, and this life would be no exception. If it was about the internal struggle, with Zhou Wanning's temperament, how could she be able to fight her. Now her only reliance is the favor of King Ping.

But how long can this love last?

Zhou Wanning did not expect to meet her either, her expression was obviously stunned, and then she came forward to meet her: "Madam."

"princess."

After the two greeted each other, they passed by, as if the other was really just a stranger they knew.

"Madam." Shen Xinyan was stopped after walking a few steps. She stopped to turn around, and saw Zhou Wanning's calm expression, "In the past, there were many offenses, please forgive me, Madam."

Shen Xinyan was astonished, she didn't have time to say anything in the future, she gave her a blessing and turned to leave.

"She is such a beautiful woman, and she is a princess. How can I see that she can see through the world and feel like a still water." Xu Sumin, who came over, shook her head regretfully.

Shen Xinyan's feelings were a bit complicated. She had long heard that Princess Ping lived in a secluded place, but she didn't take it to heart. After all, given Zhou Wanning's temperament and the current state of Zhou's residence, it was not surprising that she didn't like to go out. But now hearing Xu Sumin say this, she actually felt that Zhou Wanning really seemed to see through the red dust.

Such Zhou Wanning was very unfamiliar, but she couldn't make her bored.

At this time, Wei Junhang was sitting in front of the Zhenbei Hou brothers, facing the same gloomy expressions of the brothers, and said slowly: "I am not for the Zhou family, but for the Zhenbei Hou residence."

"The Wei family and the Murong family have been in the same robe for several generations. In terms of closeness and distance, they are not comparable to the Zhou family."

"If that's the case, why do you have to do so much to save that Zhou Mao!" Zhenbei Hou Han asked with a sullen face.

"Because, Lord Zhou can't die, let alone in the hands of Zhenbei Houfu. If he dies in office, what will happen to Xiyan City, which has gradually shown its vitality? What will happen to the people of Xiyan who have finally settled down properly? The imperial court There is no shortage of capable ministers, but there is a shortage of capable ministers who can firmly take root in Xiyan!"

"If Lord Zhou were to die, could Lord Hou give back another 'Master Qingtian' to the people of Xiyan? If His Majesty knew that the chess piece he had finally placed was removed by Lord Lord, wouldn't he blame Lord Lord?"

Seeing that the expressions of Marquis Zhenbei and Murong Jue changed slightly, Wei Junhang sighed and continued: "In this life, Master Zhou will not be able to return to Beijing unless he dies, and he will only die for a county magistrate, plus Zhou Chang's legs, Isn't that enough?"

After a short pause, he said sincerely: "The grievances and grievances between the younger generation have been entangled since then, and it has long been unclear which is right and wrong. Why don't you let go of the Hou Ye and Er Ye?"

The Marquis of Zhenbei and Murong Jue looked at each other and fell silent.

Inside the house, Murong Tao smashed the bowl of medicine into pieces again angrily, and the maids were scolded by him one after another.

Looking at the legs that still felt nothing, he felt even more despair in his heart.

When the door was pushed open from the outside, he roared, "Get out!!"

The visitor stood silently, and there was no movement for a long time. He couldn't help it any longer. He looked angrily, but was startled when he recognized the appearance of the visitor.

"Awan?"

Zhou Guan looked at him quietly, and cleaned up the mess on the ground without saying a word. Finally, he went to the bedside and called softly, "Brother Murong."

"Why, why did you come?" It was the first time that Murong Tao saw her since the accident, and he was still in shock.

"I asked His Highness to accompany me." Zhou Wanning's eyes fell on his unusually thin legs, Murong Tao noticed her gaze, and in a panic, he pulled the blanket on the side and covered it, "Don't look, don't look... …”

The man in front of him had a thin face and a gloomy air lingering all over his body, which was completely different from the confident and flying general Murong in her memory.

And it was her father who destroyed his legs and destroyed his will. In the final analysis, the culprit of everything is herself.

"I hurt you." She said in a low voice.

"None of your business." Murong Tao subconsciously wanted to comfort her.

"If it weren't for me, your legs wouldn't be broken. All misfortunes are caused by me. My own fault, but let the people around me bear the consequences..."

...

King Ping outside the house didn't know how much will he had to control the legs that wanted to step in.

Now he can't tell how he feels about Zhou Wanning. There are still some likes, but there are also many disappointments, so that he can no longer find a way to get along with her, so in the past six months, the number of times their husband and wife have met is also very few.

Yesterday, Zhou Wanning took the initiative to find him, but to beg him to bring her to see Murong Tao. At that moment, he was quite angry, but he finally agreed.

He has long known the suppression of the Zhou Mansion by the Marquis of Zhenbei. The elder brother-in-law Zhou Chang has been lingering on the bed all day long, and Xiyan's father-in-law is struggling, and he finally understands why his father-in-law asked him that way before he left Beijing.

He felt that the key to unraveling the hatred between Murong Zhou and the two houses was Murong Tao.

When Zhou Wanning came out, the Marquis of Zhenbei and Murong Jue, who were also waiting outside the house, looked at each other, and then quickly walked in. Seeing that Murong Tao was just sitting in the house, his eyes were a little wet, but his body was full of hostility. But a lot has disappeared.

"Father, Second Uncle!" Murong Tao called out when he noticed their arrival, turned his face away and wiped the tears from his eyes.

Just a simple title, but the Murong brothers breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt that today's adventure was worth it.

But King Ping and his wife returned to the palace without words. King Ping, as before, ordered his servants to send Zhou Wanning back to the main courtyard, and went to the study by himself.

Zhou Wan looked at his leaving back quietly, and watched Concubine Kong Fang greet him with a smile not far away.

She was a little dazed, and she couldn't tell what she was feeling, like she was lost, but also like she was sad.

"Sorry, thank you!" Facing the straight back, she said in a low voice.

The next moment, she smiled wryly again.

What belongs to her, what does not belong to her, she has lost. Those who like her and those who don't like her have already left.

She thought, in this life, she is probably like this!
