rioritize Jinxiu's safety above their own.Zongyu silently recorded this matter in his heart, and waited until he had time to find the two people back and cultivate them well.After Zong Yu and his wife...Like most people waiting in an operating room, Fu Ming was on edge with anxiety.

Even seeing Fu Shangyuan sitting there, he was too lazy to ask him why he was here or how he got in.

He stood dumbly at the palace gate, his eyes never leaving the scene before him. It was as if he could only ease his inner tension and anxiety in this way.

Until Fu Shangyuan called his name several times.

"Even if you stood there like a statue, you wouldn't be of any help. You brought them in yourself; do you not trust your own people"

About Fang Jinshi's matter, Fu Shangyuan had people inquire about it, and then learned some bits and pieces from his son.

It's not surprising that she's a skilled doctor and possesses some strange abilities.

It's no secret in the palace that Consort Xiaoqi has been unwell. Fu Shangyuan isn't stupid, so he wouldn't have failed to guess Fu Ming's intention when bringing someone into the inner palace.

But he was also curious, could Fang Jinshu's medical skills really surpass those of the Imperial Medical Bureau

Fu Ming, that kid, had used means a few years ago to get the head physician of the Imperial Hospital to see his mother. At the time, the conclusion given by the head physician was that it was incurable and could only be managed with long-term medication.

Though they, mother and son, had no official positions in the palace, the Empress Dowager was not sent to the cold palace. However, she lived anonymously and without recognition within these deep palaces. Her residence was an abandoned and dilapidated palace hall, which was effectively no different from being confined to the cold palace.

The imperial medical bureau had no way to give her medicine, and Fu Ming didn't have the authority to let the imperial medical bureau prescribe medicine.

"Do you really think she can cure your mother's illness" Fu Shangyuan was just curious.

Fu Ming nodded slowly.

She definitely can.

At this moment, besides believing in Fang Jinshu, he couldn't do anything else.

Time ticked by, but Fu Ming wasn't in the mood to drink the good tea that Fu Shangyuan had brought him.

On the contrary, Fu Shangyuan stayed put the whole time, occasionally approaching him with a few questions here and there, chatting for a while.

"What is the name of Fang Jinshi's husband Is he a prominent figure from Xi Zhou's border region"

Fu Ming was startled, then nodded.

"How did Uncle Jing Wang know"

"Dong'er told me," Fu Shangyuan smiled.

He called that man his godfather and often told me stories about what happened when he lived at the Zong family's house.

He had heard this man's name countless times from his son. Seeing the adoration in his son's eyes whenever he mentioned him, Fu Shangyuan felt a pang of unease.

If he hadn't lost his son and his mother all those years ago, Dong'er would have grown up under his care. He wouldn't have abandoned his own father to worship other men!

It's obvious that Fang Jinshi has a great relationship with her husband.

"Little Seven, you've also reached marriageable age."

"You surprised Wang Shu greatly by bringing out that gift in the main hall today."

"I always thought you weren't interested in power struggles and personal gain. How come you suddenly understand"

Fu Ming furrowed his brows. "Uncle Wang, if I hadn't met Fang Jinxiu, given my current circumstances, my mother should have been dead by now."

Fu Shangyuan nodded in undeniable agreement.

"I'm not really interested in power, I just want to protect the people I care about."

“My mother suffered for half her life in this wretched palace for me. When I was younger, even if I had wanted to fight, I didn't have the ability.”

"Things are different now."

Fu Shangyuan suddenly understood.

Zong Yu, who returned victorious with his outstanding medical skills and insightful mind, the unparalleled Fang Jinxiu

"Haha, so that's how it is."

"You wouldn't think that with just the help of those two spouses, you could compare to your brothers who are supported by all the civil and military officials in the court, would you"

Fu Ming's face stiffened.

"I."

Suddenly, Fu Shangyuan reined in his laughter and his eyes became serious.

"Prince Jing can help you."

At this, Fu Ming was even more shocked.

"Uncle Jing Wang, why would you help me"

Fu Shangyu revealed a mocking expression, his eyes full of sarcasm as if he had thought of something.

"Because your father, he's a rotten scoundrel through and through, his sons are all just like him."

"You can simply understand it as, I have a grudge against your father."

What Fu Shangyuan said today completely overturned Fu Ming's previous understanding.

"But, Father Emperor and Uncle Wang's relationship has always been good, hasn't it Father Emperor also values Uncle very much, even Empress Dowager does."

He had always believed that his uncle and father were one of the few examples in history of kings who had a close and harmonious relationship.

Could it all be an illusion

Fu Shangyuan seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and scoffed.

"Getting along well"

"He personally slaughtered your aunt's entire family and even tried to take her. Do you think I would have sent your aunt and Dong'er so far away on a visit for any other reason"

"If it weren't for him, our family wouldn't have been separated for so many years.
