Chapter 733: Chapter 733: Getting to Know Zhao Xi Chapter 733: Chapter 733: Getting to Know Zhao Xi ng Yunzheng nodded, “Yes, he is still alive.”
After ng Pei fell off the cliff, Gong Qiu had been searching for him.
It seed he had learned from past mistakes; initially, he had not personally witnessed Song Xin’s corpse, which allowed her to escape disaster and cause more trouble.
Therefore, although ng Pei was injured and had fallen off the cliff, Gong Qiu insisted on seeing the body if dead or the person if alive.
He had always been secretly sending people to look for ng Pei, even fearing that ng Pei, if alive, might contact ng Yunzheng, so he had people watch ng Yunzheng, reporting to him who he t and talked with or what he did every day.
For two years, ng Pei vanished without a trace, not returning to the ng family, nor had he visited ng Yunzheng.
Just when Gong Qiu slightly relaxed his vigilance, ng Pei asked soone to send a letter to ng Yunzheng.
And the person who delivered the letter was Zhao Xi.
“Zhao Xi?” Shu Yu was surprised.
ng Yunzheng smiled, “Yes, Zhao Xi grew up with his master from a young age. As you’ve seen, his dical skills are superb, so you can imagine how much more skilled his master is. Indeed, my father did not die after falling off the cliff, but he was seriously injured. The first person who found him was Zhao Xi.”
At that ti, Zhao Xi had just had a quarrel with his master and had gone out to play. He ca across ng Pei, seriously injured and unconscious, and imdiately administered ergency treatnt.
Later, his master ca looking and took ng Pei back for treatnt.
Unfortunately, ng Pei’s injuries were too severe, and he remained in a coma for two or three months before waking up.
When he awoke, however, everything had changed—his wife and children were gone.
He always wanted a chance to et ng Yunzheng, but Gong Qiu was still searching for him, and people often accompanied ng Yunzheng, making even finding a tiny gap impossible.
Thus, it took another two years before he managed to have Zhao Xi send a note to ng Yunzheng.
The father and son finally had the chance to et again.
In the following years, ng Pei stayed with Zhao Xi’s master.
Doctor Zhao always kept a low profile, and ng Pei had his company. Moreover, he often needed to go into the mountains to gather herbs. ng Pei, skilled and fueled by hatred after his wife was killed, practiced even more diligently. His martial skills improved significantly, so he stayed alongside Doctor Zhao to protect him.
ng Yunzheng and he rarely t, as Gong Qiu was still searching for ng Pei up to the present.
The last ti he saw him was about a year ago.
But such days would not last much longer.
ng Yunzheng’s expression turned cold, and he suddenly clenched his fists.
Shu Yu thought of the plot in the book; after the Shu family was exiled, about a year later, the current emperor fell seriously ill. Several princes began to recklessly fight for power and profit, and not long after, the previously unknown Fifth Prince erged and eventually ascended to a higher position.
She finally understood why ng Yunzheng wanted to collaborate with the Fifth Prince. Besides seeking revenge against Gong Qiu for his mother, he also needed to pull down the imperial concubine from the palace and her son.
So, once the Fifth Prince won, it would be ti for ng Yunzheng’s great revenge.
She held his hand, “It won’t be much longer.”
“Mm.”
“Right, the imperial concubine you ntioned, is she the Noble Princess Consort, and her son, is he the Second Prince?”
ng Yunzheng was startled, looking up in surprise, “You know?” He had never ntioned who that person in the palace was. He didn’t expect her to guess so accurately.
Shu Yu took a sip of tea. Of course, she hadn’t guessed.
It just so happened that there was a segnt in the book about this Noble Princess Consort and the Second Prince.
