After the divorce, I was adorned in a phoenix robe, while my ex-husband's entire family dug up

Wei Zhaoning dodged abruptly, crawling down to temporarily avoid the blade.

The knife then stabbed down from above the carriage, just a millimeter away, enough to pierce Wei Zhaoning's heart.

Suddenly, a muffled groan was heard outside the carriage, and the knife stopped moving.

For a moment, the area outside the carriage became completely silent.

Wei Zhaoning quickly took off her coat, bandaged her arm, and waited a while before cautiously going out to check.

Blood flowed like a river outside the carriage; the deaths were gruesome.

A few bricks and tiles fell from the eaves. Wei Zhaoning looked in the direction of the sound and saw only a blurry figure, as if someone was chasing something.

Who saved her?

The assassins sent by the Regent today were ruthless.

She made a mistake. If the Regent truly couldn't sever his ties with her, he wouldn't have been so ruthless.

Who could be the person who saved her? They must be someone who opposes the Regent.

The palace gates were just ahead, and Wei Zhaoning braced herself and entered the palace.

In any case, this message must be delivered today.

Outside the Hall of Diligent Governance, the lights were bright.

Wei Zhaoning handed Eunuch Li a bag of melon seeds, saying, "Please inform him that I have urgent business to report."

Eunuch Li glanced at Wei Zhaoning's bloodied arm, took the golden melon seed, and said in a soft, feminine voice, "How can this be? Madam, please wait a moment, I will go and inform her."

The cold wind blew into my sleeves, tearing at the wounds on my arms.

After about half an hour, Eunuch Li finally came out.

He looked apologetic and shook his head. "Madam, His Majesty has already retired for the night. Please come again tomorrow if you have anything to discuss."

The doors of the Qin Zheng Hall were tightly closed, but from the outside, one could clearly see a figure sitting at a table.

Is His Majesty deliberately avoiding her? What does His Majesty already know?

She looked at Eunuch Li, unable to find any fault with him, and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Eunuch Li."

She went to the Imperial Hospital to have her arm wound bandaged before returning home.

The more I thought about it, the more something seemed off.

The next day.

News of Wei Zhaoning's assassination attempt and injury spread throughout the Marquis's residence.

Wei Jiaruo used the money earned from the shops that Wei Zhaoning had handed over to make new clothes for everyone in the Marquis's mansion.

It is said that someone in the Marquis's mansion saw blood, which foretells that all the bad things have been spilled out like blood. Making new clothes represents a fresh start for the Marquis's mansion, and everything will develop in a positive direction.

Everyone's face was beaming with joy.

Wei Zhaoning lowered her eyes; her biggest concern now was how to inform His Majesty about Li Changming's matter.

Since the Regent has chosen to kill her, their deal is null and void.

We need to find another way to divorce.

"Miss, the Marquis has sent someone over." Dongxu's expression was not good.

"Let him in."

After saying this, a servant brought a jar of ointment and reported, "Madam, the Marquis heard that you were injured and specially ordered me to bring you this ointment."

Wei Zhaoning nodded, and Dong Xu accepted the ointment.

The servant lingered, so Wei Zhaoning asked, "Is there anything else?"

The servant said embarrassedly, "The Marquis said... Madam, you only injured your arm, and applying some ointment will do the trick. Your palms and fingers are not injured. We haven't delivered food to the other Madam yet today."

Dongxu couldn't take it anymore. She grabbed a broom and started hitting the servant, yelling, "Get out!"

The servant, clutching his backside, pleaded as he retreated, "Madam, please be magnanimous and don't make things difficult for us servants! It's almost noon, and if it's not delivered soon, the Marquis will be in deep trouble!"

Once it quieted down outside, Dongxu noticed that Wei Zhaoning remained silent and her expression wasn't good. She picked up the jar of ointment and said, "Miss, let me apply the ointment for you first."

Twisting open the ointment, Dongxu frowned, leaned in to smell it, and her frown deepened.

"This isn't ointment! It's clearly face cream for women! Lord Marquis, really!"

Dongxu said angrily.

Wei Zhaoning turned her head and looked around. Perhaps it was because of all the messy things that were bothering her, but her mood was very complicated at the moment.

She took a deep breath and waited until she calmed down: "Go and call the royal physician. I'll go pack breakfast."

Wei Zhaoning rearranged the leftovers from her breakfast onto a plate and went to the main courtyard.

As soon as we entered the main courtyard, we saw Wei Jiaruo walk a few steps without using the wheelchair beside her.

When she saw Wei Zhaoning, she smiled and said, "Sister, you're here? I thought I'd have to wait a long time for you, so I just walked around the yard first."

"Thank God! The imperial physicians all said there was a high risk of my leg becoming crippled, but I never imagined I could stand up and walk a few steps today. Thanks to my sister, I had previously heard a master say that bleeding is a way for a family to shed bad luck, but I thought it was just a hoax."

Looking back today, it's true; I don't even know how to thank my sister enough.

Wei Zhaoning didn't believe in that kind of thing.

In her previous life, her legs were completely crippled, and no matter how many famous doctors she consulted, they could not cure her.

She was all too familiar with the countless sleepless nights and the excruciating pain.

Wei Jiaruo's leg healed so inexplicably?

Seeing the puzzled look on her face, Wei Jiaruo chuckled and said, "Sister, this is what they mean by good fortune coming your way."

"Does my sister's expression mean she doesn't want my leg to get better?"

Wei Zhaoning smiled and said, "How could that be?"

Just then, the physician arrived. "Let's have our meal first."

"Please test the food first to see if it's clean, healthy, and suitable for pregnant women."

Wei Zhaoning placed the food from the food box on the small round table.

The physician took a silver needle and tested each item. "There's no problem with your diet. You can eat with peace of mind."

At this moment, the physician noticed that Wei Jiaruo was walking over. Although her walking posture was still a little unnatural, she looked like she had improved a lot.

He exclaimed in surprise, "Lady Hou's leg... she can walk now?!"

Wei Jiaruo covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled, "Well, it's a blessing in disguise. The physician is here, so why don't he take a look at me? Now that I can walk a few steps, how long will it take for me to fully recover?"

The physician's expression of astonishment remained unchanged. He stepped forward to examine her and exclaimed excitedly, "To recover from such an injury is unheard of! It's truly a miracle. With proper rest, you'll be fully recovered in less than three months!"

Wei Jiaruo chuckled, "Really?"

In his past life, Wei Zhao would rather die a cripple than live like that. People are not the same.

After the physician left, Wei Zhaoning was about to leave when Wei Jiaruo called out to her, "Sister, could you please help me set the table?"

He coughed a few more times, as if he had a severe cold.

Wei Zhaoning, not wanting to cause trouble, agreed.

Wei Jiaruo ate her meal with great relish, constantly asking for this and that.

As Wei Zhaoning served the food, she observed her for any unusual behavior. It was really too strange; there was absolutely no way her leg could recover.

As breakfast was drawing to a close, Wei Zhaoning suddenly heard a loud "bang" outside, like the sound of a box being smashed.

Liu Xiang rushed in, her eyes wide open as if she had seen something terrifying, pointing outside speechless.
