From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 193

In a daze, in a state of confusion, between darkness and ignorance, Zhou Yuan seemed to hear Jianjia crying, Xiaoying talking, and Ziyuan talking to herself.

This sleep seemed to have lasted for countless years, but also seemed to have just passed a moment.

Finally, consciousness continued to climb out of the abyss, reached the ground, and saw the bright sunshine.

It was a bit dazzling.

Zhou Yuan squinted his eyes subconsciously, and felt itchy and painful all over his body. He couldn't help but whispered: "Jianjia...Jianjia..."

"Ah! Wake up!"

Zi Yuan jumped up excitedly when she saw Zhou Yuan open his eyes, and then her mouth pursed and whispered: "Son-in-law, you are finally awake. We were worried to death."

Zhou Yuan said weakly: "How long have I slept? Did anything happen in the mansion? Where are Zhang Fei and Yu Feng?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaoying rushed in, followed by Zhao Jianjia and Qingyuan.

"Brother!"

"Husband!"

The two of them lay on the left and right in front of Zhou Yuan's bed.

Before Zhao Jianjia could speak, she couldn't hold back her tears and said in a trembling voice: "My husband, you finally woke up... If you were gone, I wouldn't..."

Zhou Yuan interrupted: "Don't say depressing words, you'll be fine after waking up."

"Yeah..."

Zhao Jianjia nodded with sobs, took Zhou Yuan's hand, and whispered: "How do you feel now? Are you feeling better? The imperial physician said that you need at least a month to recover from your injury before you can get out of bed."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "The imperial physician is here!"

Qing Yuan said: "He's here, he just left this morning, and stayed for two full days."

Zhou Yuan sighed, touched Xiaoying's face, and whispered: "Thank you for your hard work. You have two dark circles under your eyes. Didn't you sleep?"

Xiaoying raised her nose and lowered her head, not saying anything.

Zhou Yuan asked, "How are Zhang Fei and Yu Feng?"

"Similar to you, it will take at least a month before they can get out of bed."

A calm voice came, and Xiaozhuang walked in slowly, with an apologetic look on his face.

Zhou Yuan nodded and smiled, "Okay, it's okay, you guys go out first, those who need to rest should rest, Jianjia, go pour me a cup of tea, Qingyuan Ziyuan, you guys go make something delicious."

"Yeah!"

The two maids quickly left, and Zhao Jianjia also hurried out to pour tea.

Xiaoying was reluctant to leave, but just held Zhou Yuan's hand, lowered her head and said nothing.

Zhou Yuan pinched her face lovingly, then raised his head and said, "Don't worry about her, let's talk about our own things. What's the situation outside now?"

Xiao Zhuang sighed, "Her Majesty is angry. I have never seen her so angry in all these years. Zhang Xiang was confiscated and exterminated for the crime of rebellion. The Jinyiwei Beizhenfushi was dismissed, the Jinyiwei Qianhu of Shenjing was exiled, and more than a dozen officials of the five military camps were severely punished."

"The governor of the Beijing camp is still kneeling outside the palace gate."

"The Jinyiwei has begun to attack all parts of the country. The martial arts sects will usher in the most stringent control in decades. All masters are in Under close surveillance."

Speaking of this, Xiaozhuang smiled bitterly and said, "After you recover, I will set off to various places. All the martial arts masters in the world must be registered. If they do not cooperate, they can be killed on the spot."

Zhou Yuan could not help but said, "This is too high-profile, not very appropriate."

Xiaozhuang said, "Her Majesty's original order was to let me kill all the martial arts masters in the world, one by one, and eliminate all future troubles. I persuaded her for a long time before she retracted her order."

"Junior brother, His Majesty is really scared this time, afraid that something will happen to you!"

"In the past two days, assassins in Shenjing and the surrounding areas The gang has been killed by the Jinyiwei, and the rest have also escaped. Now the capital is very clean.

Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "It's good this way, so I can concentrate on doing something."

"This time, the lesson I learned is really too big."

Zhou Yuan sighed deeply and shook his head and said, "The so-called perfect plan is fake in front of such a master-level expert. Many people can't stop such a strong man. I can't live in Bingmasi Hutong forever."

Xiao Zhuang said, "Don't worry, there will be no similar problems in the future."

Zhou Yuan didn't agree, but said slowly : "Knowing shame and then being brave, I will never make the same mistake again. I must ensure that I have at least the capital to escape from the master-level masters."

He looked at Xiaozhuang and whispered: "Xiaozhuang, you are so good at martial arts, can you give me a very powerful set of skills so that I can become a master directly after practicing it."

Xiaozhuang shook his head and said: "No skill can be achieved overnight. Even if it is a genius who is rare in the world, it takes years of practice to truly have the strength to establish a sect."

"And your Pure Yang Wuji Gong is the authentic Taoist heart method of Quanzhen Shenlong Dao. There is no better than this.. "

Zhou Yuan said: "I heard that there is a special method that can make your internal strength increase rapidly without such hard practice."

Xiao Zhuang waved his hand and said: "That's not the case. The methods in the world are different and the same, just Buddhism and Taoism. There is no quick way to achieve success."

Zhou Yuan thought for a while, then smiled and said: "I mean, the unique Taoist method of dual cultivation, that is, men and women do that thing, and can also..."

"No need to explain in detail, I understand."

Xiao Zhuang rolled his eyes at him unhappily, then fell into deep thought, and then said: "Don't tell me, maybe there is really one. Quanzhen Shenlong Dao should not have it, but Tianshi Zhengyi Dao is good at health preservation, maybe there is a dual cultivation method. "

Zhou Yuan was overjoyed and said quickly: "Then help me find a master of Tianshi Zhengyi Dao, help me ask, I can pay more money. "

Xiao Zhuang snorted: "Still looking? The master of Tianshi Zhengyi Dao is right in front of you. ”

“Ah?”

Zhou Yuan then remembered that Xiaozhuang and Zhuang Xuansu seemed to be sisters, and Zhuang Xuansu’s demon-slaying skills came from Qingcheng Mountain, which is the ancestral home of Tianshi Dao!

Xiaozhuang waved his hand and said, “I’ll ask Her Majesty. If she agrees, I’ll go back to Sichuan.”

Zhou Yuan laughed and said, “Agree, agree, Senior Sister will definitely agree.”

Xiaozhuang said, “Her Majesty will come to see you tonight, get ready, I’ll go back to the palace first.”

After she left, Xiaoying suddenly said, “I seem to know the way of dual cultivation, brother, I have a Gu worm!”

Do I dare to touch Gu worms? This is not a joke!

But it’s about dual cultivation…

“Tell my brother quickly.”

Zhou Yuan asked decisively.

Xiaoying opened her eyes wide, turned her eyeballs smartly, and chuckled, “I forgot! "

Okay, I can't argue with the little girl.

Zhou Yuan looked at Zhao Jianjia at the door, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Come quickly!"

Zhao Jianjia then hurried in, handed the tea to Zhou Yuan, and whispered: "Husband, you have finished your business. "

Zhou Yuan sighed, touched her delicate face, and smiled gently.

Jianjia has become much more sensible.

Thinking back a few months ago, she was still a slightly stubborn lady, but now she is such a gentle and virtuous wife.

Although she wanted to talk to me, she still resisted going into the house, and waited for me and Xiaozhuang to say that it was almost time before standing at the door.

These changes changed Zhou Yuan's thinking, and also changed Zhao Jianjia.

Xiaoying slipped away at some point, and Zhao Jianjia's emotions that she had been holding on to completely collapsed. She lay on the bed and cried.

Zhou Yuan stroked her hair and whispered, "Don't be afraid, everything is fine."

Zhao Jianjia ignored him and cried for a long time before she raised her head and said with tears on her face, "What do you mean it's fine... There are so many wounds, the flesh is rotten, and it's all bloody. I'm so scared, husband. "

Zhou Yuan's eyes were also filled with tears, and he said, "It's okay, it'll be fine."

Zhao Jianjia choked and said, "I should have listened to you. Let's live a good life in Yunzhou, grow flowers, fish, and write some poems. How comfortable it is."

"I must make you an official. You're almost losing your life..."

She couldn't help crying again, with endless self-blame in her heart.

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath.

He never became an official because he compromised with Zhao Jianjia.

He just...slowly realized that this young body should have more power to accomplish greater things, so that this rebirth would not be in vain.

He just...wanted to know whether his wisdom beyond the times could save this broken land and let countless poor and suffering people live a life like a human being.

Zhou Yuan didn't think he was as great as "Chen in the South and Li in the North agreed to establish the party", but he also hoped that he had that kind of courage.

To save the world, even if this world is not his hometown.
