Chapter 783: Bewildered

existence.In the distance, Wang Fu also pulled up his sleeve and wiped his tears.But there were so many people coming and going here, it would be hard to draw attention from outsiders. He hurried for...Everyone was also confused.

Li Zhensheng pondered for a moment before saying: "Since we know the Empress's intentions, let's temporarily follow her lead and not arouse her suspicion. "

"I'll go tell Lao Er to try and find out more about the Empress these days. See if we can uncover anything suspicious."

"Alright, you go quickly now." Li Lao Tai nodded hastily and instructed, "Tell the second brother, to be careful about everything."

Li Zhensheng hurriedly went out and took a car back to the city.

Jia Yin calculated and said to her family, “I’ll go find Grandpa Zhang and ask him to go out and play for a few days.”

The next afternoon, I will go into the city with my family to see a doctor. By then, the news should spread, and the Empress' side should be able to see me "sick" as they wish.

"Let's see what she does then. We'll just play it by ear!"

Having said that, seeing her grandmother and mother's worried faces, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, what we're doing is just out of curiosity about the Empress's motives. We are not helpless in protecting ourselves."

"At worst, I'll go to the palace and complain to Emperor Uncle. The Empress will definitely be more restrained."

Lao Li sighed, “There’s nothing else we can do. I hope your second uncle’s side finds out the results soon.”

Jia Yin's face was smiling, but her heart felt stifled.

Over the past two years, Uncle Second's people have expanded significantly. They are well-connected and reliable when something needs to be done.

But within the palace, there remained a void where news should be.

It's not that they can't deploy personnel, it's that they are unable to do so.

Because the emperor has always believed Li Jia to be pure and trustworthy, if someone from the Li family was found to have planted spies in the palace, this trust would collapse.

Compared to a few trivial messages, the emperor's trust is the most precious.

Put yourself in their shoes. What if Li Jia and Wu Sanniang were close friends, and Li Jia took good care of the Wu family

One day, the Li family discovered that the maidservant in their home was arranged by Wu Sanniang and would occasionally tell Wu's family about the movements of everyone in the Li family...

The Li family would surely be furious, let alone the Emperor.

The emperor's pride wouldn't allow him to be mistaken!

Previously, there was a lot of trust and good times together. Afterwards, there would be extreme anger, as if destroying the Li family wouldn't be enough to calm things down.

Having settled in Xindu for several years, the Li family now represents not only themselves but also the Wen and Liu families. With the emperor's disdain for the Li family, they will inevitably be implicated.

Most importantly, the Marquis holds military power and will no longer be trusted...

When Li Zhensheng found Li Lao'er at the Relief Bureau, Li Lao'er was eating a jade melon. Seeing his elder brother suddenly, he guessed there was something up.

As expected, upon hearing about the domestic affairs, Li Lao Er immediately grew agitated.

This is a real case of disaster striking without warning.

He suspected that the rumors about his niece were orchestrated by the Wang family.

How could this empress suddenly appear out of nowhere without any prior warning

No matter how powerful the Wang family is, they can't force the Empress to be their vanguard, can they!

Even with more questions, the task still needs to be done.

Soon, the manpower was reassigned and started to get busy.

Just as the sky was beginning to darken, the news arrived.

The Empress hasn't shown any abnormalities recently, at least there haven't been any rumors circulating outside the palace.

If one had to find a difference, it would be the Empress's mother, Lady Wu, who visited the Empress for two consecutive days. It is unknown what the mother and daughter discussed.

Li La Er frowned, pondering the recent major events in the court, and said to his elder brother: "The empress has been busy giving birth for these years. It is said that when the imperial physicians see the empress, they have to go around."

No matter what methods they tried, the Empress still had not conceived a prince.

"Especially after the last grand council meeting, with someone suggesting to establish a crown prince, the Empress must be even more anxious. "

But why was she so anxious to have a child What did it have to do with Funiu'er Why would she intentionally drug Funiu'er and make her sick

"Could she get pregnant just because Funiu is sick How absurd!"

Li Zhensheng also couldn't figure it out, he could only say: "The Empress is in the palace, if there is any real action, she will definitely go through the Jiangning Houfu. We just need to keep an eye on this family."

Li Lao'er nodded.

Without saying anything about the private discussion between the Li brothers, let's talk about the palace. At this time, the emperor had finished his evening meal and, unusually, hadn't gone to the imperial harem. Instead, he was drinking while inquiring about the latest news from various quarters.

General Yi conscientiously and thoroughly explained everything the Emperor needed to know, as if casually chatting.

Finally, he hesitated for a moment before adding a few more words.

"Your Majesty, today the Empress sent someone to Suijin Beach and bestowed upon Princess Kangle several sets of jewelry and a pot of nourishing soup. It seems she is concerned about the princess's health..."

The Emperor couldn't help but let out a cold snort, clearly not believing this explanation.

What's she up to again She already drinks broth like water on a daily basis, but now she's even dragged Funiu into this!

Yi Zongguan bowed his head; it wasn't his place to interject at this point.

As expected, the Emperor didn't expect a response and continued, "What other news is there from Kunning Palace recently"

Yi Zongtang thought for a moment and reported, "The Empress has called the imperial physicians several times and seen Madam Wu twice."

The emperor couldn't hear anything wrong, so he lost interest and instead talked about the third princess.

Princess Three is now twelve years old. Although she's not in a hurry to get married, she needs to start looking for suitable candidates for her husband.

There are quite a few talented young people in Xindu.

But only those from noble families can stand out. They are unwilling to marry a princess.

He wasn't from a good family, he was average looking, and he simply wasn't worthy of the princess.

In this way, even the princess of royalty is worried about getting married.

Actually, the Emperor had once considered marrying the Third Princess to the Li family. With so many sons in the Li family, picking one wouldn't be a mistake.

But the third princess, Tong Funiu, and this Li family's precious treasure didn't get along. Marrying into the Li family, life would probably be difficult for her.

Because those few boys in the Li family all treat their little sister like a precious jewel...

After a cold night wind, autumn's pace seemed to quicken.

The white radishes and turnips in the Suijin Tan field are growing well. As soon as the morning light shines down, they stretch their bodies and work hard to absorb energy, striving to grow up as soon as possible before the frost "comes of age".

A carriage sped off the official road, turning onto a side path and passing through Ercun's checkpoint, heading towards Li family in Xincun.

In the carriage, the old doctor pulling it was also an acquaintance, namely Doctor Chang from Huichuntang and his little apprentice.

After all, he was getting on in years. When he got out of the carriage, his steps were a little unsteady and his complexion wasn't good.

As soon as Li La Er saw them at the door, he quickly stepped forward to help, saying, "Doctor Chang, thank you for coming all this way. My niece suddenly started vomiting and having diarrhea, it's very serious."

But the doctor in the village was out on an urgent matter, and there was no one else to turn to but you.

"You flatter me, Uncle." Doctor Chang felt very pleased to see his esteemed uncle being so courteous to him. He quickly returned the greeting respectfully and then followed him into the inner courtyard.

This time, the County Master's pulse wasn't as strange as last time, and it was easy to diagnose clearly.

Dr. Chang was full of confidence, piquing the Li family's curiosity, and finally reached a conclusion: "The county princess probably has a cold in her abdomen, nothing serious."

"I'll prescribe a few jars of medicinal soup for you. Take it slowly over the next seven or eight days, and you'll be fine."

The Li family let out a collective sigh of relief and thanked everyone. encounter these situations in the future. Now that her family is there to support her, along with the Marquis and the Emperor's protection, and with the Third Princess as her assistant, this is the b...
