That night, Shi Anxia went to A Niang's bed again.

She hugged her mother tightly, burying her head in her warm arms like she did when she was a child, listening to her heartbeat, and said softly, "Mother, all the bad guys in the Ye family are dead. We don't have to be afraid anymore."

Yao Sheng didn't expect that the execution of the Ye family would be so quick.

She touched her daughter's head with her chin, feeling heartbroken.

When I think back to a time when I dreamed of myself starving to death in a basement, I feel that dreams and reality are really the opposite of each other.

Shi Anxia held Yao Sheng's hand distressedly and said, "Mother, can you bear the pain for me again? There is a doctor in the Imperial Hospital who is very good at bone setting. I asked him, and he said that as long as he can find a good bone-setting ointment, he can set your bones again."

Yao Sheng was stunned. "Is it possible?"

"How about trying it?" Shi Anxia asked eagerly, "My husband said before that the tendons in your hands and feet are fine, but the bones were crooked when they healed themselves. When the imperial physician comes, I'll take a look at you?"

Yao Sheng asked anxiously, "Will this trouble the imperial physician?"

"What trouble am I afraid of?" Shi Anxia sighed heavily, "I'm just worried that you'll be hurt, mother. I heard that to re-set the bone, I need to break it again. My heart aches."

Yao Sheng felt warm in her heart, "Silly girl, mother is not afraid of pain."

In this world, is there anyone who is not afraid of pain? Shi Anxia's nose felt sour.

The mother and daughter chatted until very late before falling asleep. When they woke up the next day, it was already noon.

Shi Anxia rarely gets up so late.

When Beihui and Nanyan came in to serve, Hongque jumped in with Yebaoer.

Hong Que said, "Madam Ma and Old Madam Tang are drinking tea and talking in the garden. Old Madam Tang said that she would go over and drink tea with Old Madam Yao when she wakes up."

Yao Sheng blushed, "Excuse me for making them wait for me."

Shi Anxia stroked the dog's head and smiled, "Don't worry about it now. I woke up late because I was talking to my mother."

After everything was cleaned up and they had a quick breakfast, Shi Anxia personally pushed Yao Sheng, who was in a wheelchair, over there.

She greeted and said hello, then took a quick look and realized that this was probably the youngest gathering of "old ladies" in the capital.

Mrs. Ma was also free from the pressure of her mother-in-law, so she felt at ease.

As soon as Ma Chuyi gets married, she will be the "old lady".

Several women talked and laughed and joked with each other about the "old lady".

After Shi Anxia took his leave, he returned to Tinglan Courtyard.

When she arrived, she just happened to see Second Master Luo and Fourth Master Luo walking out of the main hall. It was obvious that they had met their young master, had finished discussing matters, and were about to leave.

When the two saw Shi Anxia, ​​they bowed respectfully and greeted her.

After the two left, Shi Anxia stepped into the main hall and saw the table piled with books. Cen Yuan was concentrating on reading something.

Cen Yuan heard the voice, raised her head and smiled faintly, "Are you awake?"

Shi Anxia said "hmm" and sat on the chair next to him, "Husband, why do I feel that there is something wrong with these two people from the Luo family today?"

Cen Yuan paused on the booklet, "What's wrong?"

"I just feel that these two people...are particularly respectful today."

"Isn't it good to be respectful?" Cen Yuan closed the book, "I was too lenient towards the Luo family in the past."

Shi Anxia raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but speak out, "So, the injury you suffered on the wedding night was not only related to the 'Qingtian Ding', but also to the Luo family." She paused for a moment, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be related to the daughter of the Luo family, right?"

“How come you see?”

"I guessed it." Shi Anxia said, "Qingtian Ding never does business that loses money. The fact that it came to the Marquis' Mansion to commit murder means that someone gave it money."

What does it feel like to marry a thoughtful wife? Cen Yuan truly experienced it, "What else?"

Shi Anxia looked into Cen Yuan's eyes, "On the night of our wedding, you didn't sleep and came to see me. I guess it wasn't all because you missed me. After all, we were getting married the next day. I guess you were worried that something might happen to me. I guess in addition to the guards patrolling the mansion, you also arranged secret guards. Those secret guards must be pretty good, right?"

Cen Yuan rubbed his brows and said, "Yeah."

"The secret guards, who are quite skilled, were able to injure their master. They must have been tripped up by something else. I guess the only person who could have tripped them up is an acquaintance, and someone they trust very much."

Cen Yuan remained silent.

As a modern person, I don’t have the habit of indiscriminate killing.

We should actually have awe for every human life.

In his previous life, when he was at the border, he had made a similar mistake. Because of a moment's thoughtlessness, he was almost assassinated.

Having lived this life again, Cen Yuan has tried his best to be decisive in killing.

But for those who fought alongside him, he treated them with more respect as "colleagues".

It's a pity that people's hearts are never satisfied. Some people really don't deserve respect.

As a person who is preparing to regain the imperial power, if he is not ruthless, he will not be able to protect the people he wants to protect.

Then the little girl continued to analyze, "I heard that Mr. Luo used to live here, but as soon as we got married, he was driven out to live. I think it must be related to this incident. The only possibility I can think of is that the daughter of the Luo family wanted to marry you, but couldn't get you, so she got anxious and killed me."

"Luo Ying." Cen Yuan uttered the name lightly.

"Is she very powerful?" Shi Anxia asked curiously.

"She was able to gather top-secret intelligence from the deep palace of Liang State and escape unscathed from the pursuit of Emperor Yong's secret guards. This alone is something that many people cannot do." Although Cen Yuan hated this person, he still gave an objective description.

What he didn't say was that the reason he saved Luo Ying's life was because he was poisoned in his previous life and it was Luo Ying and others who protected him.

Shi Anxia lamented, "You have lost an excellent subordinate, what a pity. But," she changed the subject, "she is not a good subordinate. Such a person should never be kept by your side."

She now has a large family to support, and if her husband does not control her children strictly, there will be endless troubles.

She didn't want to start over again and be caught up in these terrifying whirlpools again.

She is not afraid of fighting against heaven, earth or people. She is only afraid of causing irreparable disaster.

Moreover, subordinates like Cen Yuan often bribe killer organizations such as "Qingtian Ding". It can be seen that once people are ruthless, rivers of blood will flow.

Now, with the favor of Emperor Mingde, the people of Liang can also move freely in the northern wing.

If... Shi Anxia's expression changed, "If your people assassinate Emperor Mingde, what will you do?"

It's not impossible, especially when other countries are coming to fight and taking advantage of the chaos to mess up the northern wing, only the most unlikely person can succeed.

Cen Yuan had obviously thought of this problem as well. "Luo Ying has been dealt with by the Luo family. I just asked the Luo family to hand over all the movable type printing technology to Lu Sangyu and others, and then I will prepare to have the entire Luo family withdraw to Youzhou and wait for orders. As for the others... Don't worry, I will handle them carefully."

Shi Anxia asked anxiously, "What if Second Master Luo and Fourth Master Luo agreed on the surface, but actually placed someone in the capital behind the scenes?"

"Kill without mercy." A cold light flashed across Cen Yuan's eyes, and he shouted, "Jing San, come in."

Jing San hurried into the room and heard the young master order, "Order all members of the Twelve Killers to come to see him."

When Shi Anxia saw one of the "Twelve Killers", his eyes suddenly darkened and his fingers tightened involuntarily.
