The servant hurriedly bowed down.
He bent down to pull up Zhao 'er, who was kneeling on the ground.
Zhao 'er cried and struggled, constantly pleading with Duke Wang, "Father, no matter how heartless you are, please save my mother for my sake."
"Take her away."
"She's also your wife, my mother …"
Duke Wang's face darkened.
At this moment …
Na Yan, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke, "Duke, a night as husband and wife means a lifetime of love."
It sounded like a persuasive sentence, but in fact, it had a commanding tone.
Duke Wang was startled.
He didn't expect Na Yan to speak.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Na Yan looked at Zhao 'er, whose eyes were filled with tears, and revealed a gentle smile, "I remember the last time I saw you, you were still a little girl, but today you've grown a lot taller."
Huh?
What's going on?
He remembered that the last time he saw Zhao 'er was five years ago.
Na Yan was a guest at the Duke's Public House. He and Duke Wang were walking through the small garden in the backyard, chatting happily, when a small figure came out of nowhere and bumped into his waist.
He didn't feel any pain, but he felt something soft hit him.
Lowering his head, he saw a little girl with braided hair and dressed in a green dress rubbing her head.
She shouted, "I made a mistake again."
Her voice was soft.
She blamed herself.
Then, he revealed a gentle smile like a big brother, and involuntarily reached out to rub Zhao 'er's head, "Does it hurt?"
Zhao 'er raised her big eyes and looked up at the big brother in front of her, shaking her head, "It doesn't hurt."
Then, she looked at her father, pursed her lips, and said, "Father, I didn't do it on purpose."
She was the first to admit her mistake.
Wang Guogong did not blame her. Instead, he gently knocked her head twice and said, "Go and play."
"Okay."
Zhao 'er ran away.
Na Yan looked at the lovely figure, and asked, "Who is this?"
Duke Wang said with a smile, "This is my youngest daughter."
"So it's your daughter."
"I'm ashamed, I almost offended Your Highness."
"No, your daughter is very cute."
"She's so mischievous." When talking about his youngest daughter, Duke Wang's face was always brimming with a doting smile.
Na Yan asked, "What's her name?"
"Zhao 'er."
Zhao!
That day, Na Yan remembered that little girl's name.
After he returned, he also specifically inquired about Little Zhao.
He found out about her mysterious background.
He was also surprised that Wang Guogong would actually believe in such things!
Now, after five years, he saw Zhao 'er again. She had grown into a slender and elegant woman.
She had completely lost her adorable and tender appearance from back then.
Thinking about it … it was about time for her to get married.
Zhao 'er stopped begging and looked at the man in front of him. "Are you the Second Prince?"
"Yes, so you still remember me."
She didn't remember. Skipping this topic, she reached out to grab the corner of Na Yan's clothes and asked, "Can you ask my father to save my mother? My mother is seriously ill. We need to call a doctor. "
"Of course, this king will definitely help you," he said without hesitation.
Then —
He said to Wang Guogong, "Guogong, you should know what to do about this matter, right?"
Naturally, Wang Guogong didn't dare to disobey and said, "I understand."
Na Yan looked at Zhao 'er. "Your mother will be fine."
"Thank you, Second Prince."
"No need." Na Yan said to Guogong, "Then this king will not disturb you from dealing with your own family affairs. We will talk about other things later."
"Yes."
He slowly got up, patted his robe, and smoothed out the wrinkles on his sleeves.
He was about to leave, but just as he stepped out of the door, he stopped and turned to look at Zhao 'er, who was still kneeling on the ground. He asked gently, "Your name is Zhao' er, right?"
Zhao 'er looked at him gratefully, nodded hard, and replied, "Yes, my name is Zhao' er."
"Well, this king will remember you."
After leaving these words, he left in the heavy snow.
Wang Guogong sighed, looked at his daughter, and then personally pulled her up. "I have told you many times that you are not allowed to see your mother. Why are you so disobedient? You just want to disobey me? "
Zhao 'er grabbed his sleeve. "How can I not see my mother?"
"You can't!"
"Father …"
"Alright, now that His Highness has spoken, I naturally can't ignore it. But listen, this is the last time. If you don't listen, I will send you to your aunt's place."
Zhao 'er's aunt was far away outside Gaoding City. If she sent her there, she would never be able to see her mother again.
How could that be?
She quickly responded, "Yes, this is the last time. As long as Mother can get through this, I will listen to Father."
"Well, that's good."
Zhao 'er then left.
Wang Guogong wasn't a fool. He looked at his daughter's back and took a deep breath. "It seems that God has given me good luck. This good luck will come soon."
…
Then, Wang Guogong ordered someone to call for a doctor to quickly check on Madam Jiang. No matter what, he couldn't let anything happen to her.
But …
He still didn't want to go to the courtyard where Madam Jiang lived.
Zhao 'er returned to her room and could only wait anxiously.
She didn't know how much time had passed.
The maidservant hurried over.
Zhao 'er asked, "How is Mother?"
"Don't worry, Young Miss. The doctor went to check on her. He said that it's just an old illness. The weather has been cold recently, so she's frozen."
Her anxious heart finally calmed down a little.
But …
"She's frozen?"
"That's what the doctor said. He prescribed some medicine and left." Zhao 'er frowned and couldn't help but twist her fingers together. "If this continues, how can we do it? The last time I went to see Mother, I found that the quilt on her was very thin and the charcoal in the room was not strong. How could she not be frozen? Before I left, I also told the maidservant to take care of Mother.
The maid who takes care of Mother, ask her to quickly make up for what she lacks. "
"Young Miss …"
"Didn't the maidservant in the room do anything?" Zhao 'er snorted and then ordered, "Quickly prepare a few quilts and a few baskets of charcoal. Send them to Mother. Oh right, buy some thick clothes. Quickly."
She urged.
But the maidservant was stunned.
"What are you still standing here for?"
The maidservant stammered, "Young Miss, actually … Master has just ordered to buy all the things that Madam needs. He also added two maidservants to take good care of Madam."
What?
Zhao 'er thought she heard wrong and asked, "You mean … Father has already ordered people to do it?"
"Yes, it's all done."
This was too strange!
