Chapter 186 The seventh prince is missing

Seeing this, the three of them no longer shirked, accepted Wei Ruo's loquat paste, and thanked them.

"Thank you, Ms. Wei, we will accept this loquat ointment, and if it is useful to us in the future, please feel free to speak up." Yuan Qiniang said.

Wei Ruo nodded with a smile.

Before leaving Tianqin Garden at night, Wei Ruo saw Qingyi who came to Tianqin Garden to fetch things for Madam Yuan, so he also gave her two cans and asked her to pass them on to Madam Yuan.

Qingyi had a look of joy as if he had found a treasure: "Miss Wei's loquat cream was delivered at just the right time. Madam's throat is a little uncomfortable these days, and this servant is worried about what to prepare for her. The loquat cream that Miss Wei gave , that must be the best."

Wei Ruo didn't say much, when he was about to leave, Qingyi called Wei Ruo again, and reminded him in a serious tone: "Miss Wei, it's not very safe outside these few days, if you have nothing important, try not to go out of the city."

Qing Yi's words seemed to know something.

"But what happened?" Wei Ruo asked.

Qingyi can only say: "It's nothing, just remind Miss Wei, Miss Wei remembers that the servant is for Miss Wei's good."

After finishing talking about Qingyi, he walked away.

After returning to Xiaowei's Mansion, Wei Ruo specially called Madam Zhang over and asked her if any major events had happened in Fucheng recently.

Nurse Zhang shook her head: "It's been very peaceful in Fucheng for the past few days, and I haven't heard of anything serious happening."

Wei Ruo asked again: "Are the gates for entering and leaving the city tightened?"

Nanny Zhang denied: "No, this old slave went out of the city for his wife this morning, as usual, Lao Zhang from the mansion went to Xingshan County yesterday, and transported a carload this morning. There is nothing wrong with the food."

"I see."

Wei Ruo asked Nanny Zhang to step back.

She believed that Qingyi didn't just say this to her casually, but she didn't know the reason for it for the time being.

That night, Wei Mingting returned home suddenly.

Yunshi had already fallen asleep, and got up with the help of the maid when she heard the sound.

"Why didn't you notify me when your husband came back?" Yun Shi asked with concern as she came up to help Wei Mingting change his clothes.

Wei Mingting frowned: "Something happened, don't say anything about my return, don't even tell the children."

Hearing this, Yun's heart tightened, realizing the seriousness of the problem.

"Husband, are the Japanese pirates coming again?" Yun asked tentatively.

"It's not the Japanese pirates' problem, it's the Seventh Prince, who was ambushed on his way here." Wei Mingting said.

Yun's eyes widened: "The seventh prince was attacked? How could this happen? Who is so bold to attack the prince?"

Wei Mingting's face was full of sadness: "Probably it involves court battles. The position of the crown prince has been vacant for the past few years. It is a well-known fact in the court and the public that there are open and secret fights among the princes."

Hearing Yan Yun's heart suddenly raised high: "How is the Seventh Prince doing now?"

Wei Mingting shook his head: "The current whereabouts are unknown, life and death are uncertain. At present, the prefect Yuan Daren and the garrison Lord have mobilized the officers and soldiers of the government office and some anti-Japanese troops to search."

"Will my husband be implicated? The struggle in the court should have nothing to do with the anti-Japanese army where my husband is. Should my husband be implicated?" Yun asked worriedly.

"It's hard to say, it depends on the Holy Majesty's intentions. There is also a responsibility to be held accountable." Wei Mingting said.

After all, it was the prince who was highly valued by the prince who had an accident within the scope of his jurisdiction. If the emperor Longyan was furious, they would not be able to escape.

"But my husband, you are in charge of fighting against the Japanese. The accident of the Seventh Prince also happened in the city, so what has it to do with you?" The Yun family complained for Wei Mingting and the generals of the anti-Japanese army.

"Isn't it fair to talk about matters in the court?" Wei Mingting sighed slightly, "I didn't think about it in advance, the most urgent thing is to find the Seventh Prince. You have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death."

Mr. Yun was worried, but no matter how worried she was about the court affairs, she couldn't help at all. She could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that the seventh prince was okay, that her husband was okay, and that the Wei family was okay.

In the next few days, the city was still calm, and the people were mostly worried about how to spend the winter and celebrate the New Year. Apart from that, they didnt hear any other news, and even the Japanese pirates stopped for a while.

Wei Ruo took the time to go to Zhuangzi every day to check the condition of the injured man.

The man was in a coma for three days. On the fourth day, Wei Ruo explained to Manager Yu about the follow-up medication.

"I will continue to use the previous medicine every morning, noon and evening, and add a few tonics to the medicine given to him at noon to give him some nutrition." Wei Ruo said.

"Okay." Manager Yu agreed.

While the two were talking, Wei Ruo saw the man on the bed move from the corner of his eye.

Then Wei Ruo walked quickly to the bed, the man opened his mouth and made a difficult sound: "Water..."

Hearing this, Steward Yu hurriedly fetched the tea, which was still warm.

With steward Yu supporting him, Wei Ruo fed water into the man's mouth.

After drinking the water, the man lay back, then looked around suspiciously, and finally his eyes stayed on Wei Ruo.

The Wei Ruo that the man saw was a handsome young man with a round face.

Because the mask that Lin Fang made for herself is very convenient to wear, Wei Ruo will wear it when going out or going to Zhuangzi, and it has become a habit.

"Where is this..."

The man is still weak, his voice is very hoarse, and his speech speed is very slow, as if he has used up all his strength in one sentence.

"This is my Zhuangzi. We found you on a nearby mountain and brought you back to temporarily settle here." Wei Ruo replied.

The man didn't know whether it was a slow reaction or something, and he said after a while: "Thank you."

Although the person is still a little weak, Wei Ruo can't wait to ask some questions: "Who is your last name, where do you live, and why did you get injured?"

Once there is a problem with the man's answer, Wei Ruo intends to send the man back to the place where he was found, and let him fend for himself.

"My surname is Zhu, my name is Zongyu, I live in Taiyuan Prefecture, and I'm in business..."

While speaking, the man paused and took a breath. It seemed a bit strenuous for him who just woke up to speak so many words at once.

After a pause, the man continued to explain in a slow tone:

"This time I went south to give a New Year's gift to my grandfather's family in Wenzhou. I met a robber halfway. To save my life, my servant and I exchanged clothes. He led the thief away for me. I took advantage of the chaos and escaped."

"But I was caught up and hacked several times. I was seriously injured and couldn't move. Fortunately, my cronies rescued me desperately. Under his protection, I fled to a hidden place, but there were still thieves searching the mountain. To protect me who was seriously injured, my cronies chose to go out and lure me. The thief..."
