After Du Qi left the palace, he took a carriage and went straight back to his residence. Although the injury on his shoulder had worsened because he had moved his arm in the palace, causing the scab to rupture, it did not affect him too much.
After all, this injury didn't hurt his muscles and bones.
It was nothing more than a sharp dagger piercing the muscles on Du Qi's shoulder. With this kind of injury, Li Jiancheng would reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors for half a month. Using this half a month to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors, Li Jiancheng's prestige would be swept to the ground. Everything was worth it.
Especially when he entered the palace this time and got a calligraphy from Li Yuan. It could be said that he made a big profit.
Du Qi returned to the Du residence and went to the backyard.
He had to take care of the injury.
After all, after entering the palace, the injury on his shoulder had already burst open. At this time, he had to apply medicine again and bandage it again to control the injury.
Du Qi let the doctor apply medicine to the wound, and then re-bandaged the wound. He then arranged for Liu Jian to take the four words' Poetry and Books Pass on to the Family 'that Li Yuan sent over to be framed and hung above the Du family's main hall.
In this era, the emperor was the most powerful.
The words bestowed by the emperor didn't just mean what they said, they also had a great deterrent force.
It was equivalent to giving the Du family a protective talisman.
This was what Du Qi liked the most.
After the plaque of 'Pass on the Family' was set up, Du Qi didn't go out again. At night, Du Qi let Mordor go to sleep, but called Liu Jian over and had Liu Jian copy the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Investiture of the Gods.
This was to be presented to the emperor.
When Du Qi entered the palace, he said in front of Li Yuan that even if his hand was injured and couldn't write it, he would dictate and have someone transcribe it. As the saying goes, if you want to put on a show, you have to complete it. Naturally, this matter must be done properly.
Fortunately, two days ago, Du Qi had been rushing to write the book and had already written a lot of chapters. So now, he didn't need to dictate, he only needed Liu Jian to transcribe it.
It's just that Liu Jian's writing wasn't good, it could be read.
Du Qi didn't care about this.
After all, he was reporting to Li Yuan.
It was impossible for Li Yuan to blame him. On the contrary, he would only say that he did his best.
While Liu Jian was copying the article, Du Qi was resting by the side. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of the study. "Open the door, open the door!"
It was the voice of the Jeong Clan.
His voice was urgent and filled with worry.
During the day, the members of the Jeong Clan were out shopping and chatting with the noblewomen of Chang 'an. Nowadays, the Jeong Clan was like a superstar. Wherever she went, people would ask her about her son and praise him for his talent.
There were even people who wanted to be matchmakers. They asked Du Qi if he was engaged and tried to pull strings.
The Jeong Clan did not care about such things.
Her son was young, but he was already a seventh-rank Xuan Yilang. Although he was not an official, he was still someone with an official position. Especially her son, he was simply like the reincarnation of a literary star. He was extraordinarily intelligent, could turn stone into gold, and was incomparably filial.
Where could she find such a good son, such a good future husband? Therefore, the Jeong Clan ignored all the people who came to propose marriage. Her son was going to marry a noble in the future.
At the very least, he had to have children of the five surnames and seven hopes.
However, when Madam Zheng was chatting with someone in the evening, she suddenly heard someone talking about how her son, Du Qi, had been attacked by an assassin in a restaurant. Moreover, he had been injured, and his injuries were rather serious.
Especially, this happened in the morning. She had been out all the time and did not know.
Now that the sky was dark, she knew.
For a moment, the Jeong Clan was confused. They left the people who were shopping with them and hurried back. When they returned to the mansion, the sky was completely dark. As soon as the Jeong Clan returned, they asked the servants in the mansion whether Du Qi had returned. When they learned that Du Qi had returned, they flew to Du Qi's courtyard.
When Du Qi heard the Jeong Clan's voice, he knew that something was wrong. His mother knocked on the door so urgently. She must have known about it. Otherwise, she would not have knocked on the door in person.
Du Qi nodded at Liu Jian. Liu Jian stood up, walked to the door, and opened it.
Liu Jian stood at the side and bowed respectfully.
When the Jeong Clan saw Liu Jian, they were furious and slapped him. Only a slap was heard. Liu Jian's face was already left with a bright red handprint.
Liu Jian felt helpless.
He was Du Qi's personal attendant and was responsible for Du Qi's safety. However, he did not fulfill his duty, so the Jeong Clan slapped him. Liu Jian did not feel wronged.
The Jeong Clan ignored Liu Jian and walked straight ahead. When she saw Du Qi, she was very distressed. She glared at Liu Jian and scolded, "You dog, you didn't protect Erlang well. What's the use of having you?"
Her words were full of anger.
As she spoke, the Jeong Clan had already arrived in front of Du Qi. The anger on her face disappeared and was replaced by gentle worry. She said, "Erlang, how are you? Who dares to assassinate you? "
Du Qi said, "Mother, I'm fine."
After a pause, Du Qi looked at the aggrieved Liu Jian and said, "Mother, you can't blame Liu Jian for this. It happened so suddenly that no one could react in time. "
The Jeong Clan glared at Liu Jian and said, "If there's a next time, I'll teach you a lesson."
"Definitely not."
Liu Jian hurriedly shook his head.
He knew that his young master was most doted on by the Matriarch. If there was a next time, he would be skinned alive. Therefore, he hoped that Du Qi would not impulsively harm himself again.
The Jeong Clan turned to look at Du Qi with gentle eyes. She said with concern, "Where's the wound? Mother, take a look."
Du Qi said, "Mother, it's fine."
"Tell me!"
The Jeong Clan said firmly.
Du Qi saw that and took off his outer shirt, revealing the wound on his right shoulder. Layers of gauze were wrapped around the wound, but at a glance, the white gauze was stained with blood and dark purple blood clots.
It was coagulated blood.
The Jeong Clan choked when she saw it. Crystal tears flickered in her eyes. Immediately, bean-sized teardrops continuously rolled down her face like a kite with a broken string. They dripped down her cheeks and flowed down.
Du Qi felt uncomfortable seeing this. This was because this wound was caused by him, causing Madam Zheng to cry like this. Du Qi wiped the Jeong Clan's tears and comforted, "Mother, it's not a big deal."
The Jeong Clan said, "If it's not a big deal, then what is? Could it be that you're dead? Mother has always warned you to be careful, be careful, be careful. Why didn't you listen? Your injury is so serious, how painful it must be! "
At this point, her tears fell like a torrential downpour, causing those who saw it to feel sad.
Du Qi quickly said, "Mother, I'm still young and my body has recovered. I'll be fine in a few days. Although I'm injured, I've made a big profit this time. "
The Jeong Clan snorted and said, "What profit? Your injury is so serious, how long will it take for you to recover?"
The Jeong Clan was furious when they thought of their son's injury.
They were even more worried.
Their tears were like a flood that broke the dam, uncontrollable and completely uncontrollable.
Du Qi said, "Mother, your son entered the palace today, and His Majesty gave our Du family a set of characters called 'Shushu Family'. Your son has now asked Liu Jian to frame it and hang it above the hall. This set of characters has His Majesty's seal. It's priceless. "
"Really?"
As soon as Du Qi heard the Jeong Clan's words, he quickly wiped the tears in his eyes and suddenly became lively.
Du Qi said, "Of course it's true!"
After the Jeong Clan heard it, they were excited and very happy. Because Li Yuan gave them such a set of characters, it was also very helpful to them.
Immediately, the Jeong Clan snorted and said, "You just pick a good thing to say and change the topic. Your mother understands. His Majesty giving you a set of characters is naturally a good thing. Tell me, who was the one who arranged for someone to assassinate you? "
Du Qi shook his head and said, "Mother, the assassins are dead. How can we know who arranged the assassination? This time, we can't find the mastermind at all. "
The Jeong Clan said, "This matter must be reported to the officials. Chang 'an county has to give us an explanation."
Du Qi replied, "Mother, the assassination has been handed over to Chang 'an county magistrate Wang Minzhi to handle. But the assassin Xu Ming is dead, and even the county magistrate didn't find any clues. This matter, we can't find the mastermind at all. "
Although Du Qi guessed that it was Li Jiancheng's doing.
Du Qi even thought that it must be Li Jiancheng's doing. But Du Qi would not say this.
Lest the Jeong Clan worry.
When the Jeong Clan heard Du Qi's words, they said, "Erlang, since we can't find the mastermind, then don't worry about him. In short, you have to be prepared to avoid danger again. "
