Chapter 733: Chapter 733: Getting to Know Zhao Xi Chapter 733: Chapter 733: Getting to Know Zhao Xi Meng Yunzheng nodded, “Yes, he is still alive.”

After Meng Pei fell off the cliff, Gong Qiu had been searching for him.

It seemed he had learned from past mistakes; initially, he had not personally witnessed Song Xin’s corpse, which allowed her to escape disaster and cause more trouble.

Therefore, although Meng Pei was injured and had fallen off the cliff, Gong Qiu insisted on seeing the body if dead or the person if alive.

He had always been secretly sending people to look for Meng Pei, even fearing that Meng Pei, if alive, might contact Meng Yunzheng, so he had people watch Meng Yunzheng, reporting to him who he met and talked with or what he did every day.

For two years, Meng Pei vanished without a trace, not returning to the Meng family, nor had he visited Meng Yunzheng.

Just when Gong Qiu slightly relaxed his vigilance, Meng Pei asked someone to send a letter to Meng Yunzheng.

And the person who delivered the letter was Zhao Xi.

“Zhao Xi?” Shu Yu was surprised.

Meng Yunzheng smiled, “Yes, Zhao Xi grew up with his master from a young age. As you’ve seen, his medical skills are superb, so you can imagine how much more skilled his master is. Indeed, my father did not die after falling off the cliff, but he was seriously injured. The first person who found him was Zhao Xi.”

At that time, Zhao Xi had just had a quarrel with his master and had gone out to play. He came across Meng Pei, seriously injured and unconscious, and immediately administered emergency treatment.

Later, his master came looking and took Meng Pei back for treatment.

Unfortunately, Meng Pei’s injuries were too severe, and he remained in a coma for two or three months before waking up.

When he awoke, however, everything had changed—his wife and children were gone.

He always wanted a chance to meet Meng Yunzheng, but Gong Qiu was still searching for him, and people often accompanied Meng Yunzheng, making even finding a tiny gap impossible.

Thus, it took another two years before he managed to have Zhao Xi send a note to Meng Yunzheng.

The father and son finally had the chance to meet again.

In the following years, Meng Pei stayed with Zhao Xi’s master.

Doctor Zhao always kept a low profile, and Meng Pei had his company. Moreover, he often needed to go into the mountains to gather herbs. Meng Pei, skilled and fueled by hatred after his wife was killed, practiced even more diligently. His martial skills improved significantly, so he stayed alongside Doctor Zhao to protect him.

Meng Yunzheng and he rarely met, as Gong Qiu was still searching for Meng Pei up to the present.

The last time he saw him was about a year ago.

But such days would not last much longer.

Meng Yunzheng’s expression turned cold, and he suddenly clenched his fists.

Shu Yu thought of the plot in the book; after the Shu family was exiled, about a year later, the current emperor fell seriously ill. Several princes began to recklessly fight for power and profit, and not long after, the previously unknown Fifth Prince emerged and eventually ascended to a higher position.

She finally understood why Meng Yunzheng wanted to collaborate with the Fifth Prince. Besides seeking revenge against Gong Qiu for his mother, he also needed to pull down the imperial concubine from the palace and her son.

So, once the Fifth Prince won, it would be time for Meng Yunzheng’s great revenge.

She held his hand, “It won’t be much longer.”

“Mm.”

“Right, the imperial concubine you mentioned, is she the Noble Princess Consort, and her son, is he the Second Prince?”

Meng Yunzheng was startled, looking up in surprise, “You know?” He had never mentioned who that person in the palace was. He didn’t expect her to guess so accurately.

Shu Yu took a sip of tea. Of course, she hadn’t guessed.

It just so happened that there was a segment in the book about this Noble Princess Consort and the Second Prince.
