Xiao Chunan stood at the window and watched a few people leave. His eyes fell on Lu Zheng and he felt a little reassured. As long as A Ci was by her side, her safety should not be a problem.
At this moment, Xiao Chunan also felt that his son was lucky to meet her and keep her here. He heard that the people there were all geniuses. He hoped that Aci could speak, marry and have children in the future.
Several people walked to Tongshuge. Xiao Fuzi chattered happily on the way.
"Master, I haven't seen my brother in three years. He is going to the north with the prince. What do you think I should prepare for him?"
"You need to prepare medicine for your injuries. He is good at riding and has a saddle..."
There was noise in his ears, but Xiao Qi rarely glared at him, letting him immerse himself in the excitement of meeting his brother.
Suddenly, Xiao Fuzi looked at Lu Zheng. He knew that Xiao Chunan must trust Lu Zheng by letting Lu Zheng know about such a confidential matter.
At this time, Xiao Qi couldn't respond to him, so he couldn't help but said to Lu Zheng: "Young lady, don't you know that I have a brother?"
Lu Zheng: "I just found out."
Xiao Fuzi chuckled and said, "My brother is very good at riding. He was also ranked among the garrison in the suburbs of Beijing back then."
Their lives were miserable, their parents died early, their uncle's family had many children, and their aunt was not willing to raise them, so she sold them in the bad years. One went to the palace, and the other went to a horse farm on the outskirts of Beijing to raise horses.
Therefore, his brother developed good riding skills and joined the garrison in the suburbs of Beijing.
If nothing else, his brother is now valued by his boss, but...
The smile on Xiao Fuzi's face gradually faded, "But my brother was unlucky. In an accident, he accidentally injured Uncle Ning Yuan's nephew. The uncle's family refused to let it go. It was the prince's thoughtfulness that spared my brother's life."
Their status was low. Even if his brother joined the garrison, he was just a pawn who was good at riding. If he hurt a noble, it was lucky that the other party didn't kill him secretly.
Lu Zheng looked at him and said sincerely, "Congratulations on being reunited with your brother."
Although they only met once, Xiao Fuzi was already satisfied.
"I have golden sore medicine over there. I'll get a bottle for your brother later."
Xiao Fuzi beamed, "Thank you, girl."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a strong gaze. Xiao Fuzi turned around and saw Xiao Qi glanced back and then looked at Lu Zheng in front of him.
Xiao Fuzi immediately caught up with Lu Zheng and said tentatively: "Your Majesty is going to the north. Although there are guards around you, we are also very worried. If there is any hidden arrow..."
Lu Zheng kept walking and said concisely, "Then get a few more bottles."
"On behalf of the prince, I would like to thank you girl."
The master and servant looked at each other, and smiles slowly appeared on their faces. They knew Lu Zheng's medicine well, it was much better medicine than the Tai Hospital.
At the critical moment, he had to rely on her medicine to survive.
After taking the medicine first, Xiao Fuzi went to deliver it, and then waited at the corner gate of the palace, waiting for his brother.
Lu Zheng began to give acupuncture to several people. When it was Shen Guiyi's turn finally, she saw that he was still absent-minded. Lu Zheng talked about what happened in the study just now as if making small talk.
"Your Majesty will leave Beijing in the afternoon. He said that His Majesty asked him to go to the northern border to set up defenses again."
Shen Guiyi, who was about to lie down, suddenly sat up, "Miss Lu, are you serious about what you said?"
They had been in the military for many years, and someone informed him of what happened last night immediately. His father had been guarding the northern border for half his life. When he heard that the military division's defense plan was missing, he didn't sleep all night.
"As for you, just take good care of your health and worry about this again when you can stand up and walk."
Lu Zheng said and pushed him back, "Now, acupuncture."
Knowing that Xiao Chunan was about to leave for the north, Shen Guiyi breathed a sigh of relief. He was also very grateful to Lu Zheng for telling him such a confidential matter. He smiled apologetically at her.
Lu Zheng saw that his sadness had faded a lot and started to give the injection.
In the afternoon, Xiao Chunan left directly through the secret passage in the study without letting anyone see him off.
Lingyang Palace put up a sign to thank guests behind closed doors, but only spread the news that Xiao Qi was ill again. Xiao Chunan was worried about Xiao Qi's condition in the palace and had no intention of going to court to entertain guests.
Shen Guiyi did not return to the palace anymore. Except for a few people who were purchasing, no one could enter or leave the palace.
Before closing the door of the mansion, Xiao Fuzi at the corner gate led a short, slightly fat middle-aged man to Tongshu Pavilion.
Lu Zheng was reading a letter to Wang Zhi again, "Your mother said that your father will come to see you in a few days." She pointed to a bag of clothes and toys next to her.
"Your mother made these for you."
Lian Xin looked through the baggage, then took out the spring shirt and compared it with Wang Zhi. "It will be worn in a few days. Mrs. Wang's craftsmanship is really good."
Lu Zheng looked at him and met his somewhat blank gaze, "Do your parents still remember?"
Wang Zhi was even more confused, as if he didn't understand the meaning of the words father and mother. Lu Zheng and Lian Xin looked at each other, come on, this child probably doesn't know what father and mother are?
Lian Xin smiled and said to Lu Zheng, "Don't worry, girl, I will teach him when I have time."
Lu Zheng gave her an appreciative look. As soon as he lay down, Xiao Fuzi's voice sounded in the side hall: "The chef I found for the girl has arrived."
Lu Zheng immediately sat up and his eyes fell on the person behind Xiao Fuzi.
Xiao Qi was playing chess with Song Siwen. Shen Guiyi was watching the battle. The cook didn't know why he had seen Xiao Qi or Xiao Chunan.
He came out of the palace with dignity etched in his bones.
"You Geng has met the crown prince, the two young masters."
Xiao Qi glanced at him, raised his hand, and motioned for him to get up.
Then he bowed in Lu Zheng's direction and said, "I've seen the girl."
This young girl must be his master's family. There are many royal chefs in the palace and the competition is high. He has no children and no home. He doesn't want to leave the palace when he is old.
If he could find a good master now and work for him for a few more years, he would probably be kind to him and help him take care of his affairs after his death.
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "No need to be polite, there aren't that many rules."
Lu Zheng felt that it was better to say some things clearly first.
"I know your conditions well. There is one thing I didn't say before. The place where you will retire in the future is an isolated valley. It is very quiet and lonely."
"Of course, it doesn't mean that you can't come out after you go in, but it's just not that casual."
"Have you thought about it clearly? Are you willing to follow me to a place like that in the future?"
You Chuzi remembered that Xiao Fuzi had said it was a valley with beautiful scenery, and he was a little moved at that time. He had been in the palace for many years and had seen enough of the prosperity of Beijing.
If he could live in a place with beautiful scenery when he was old, what regrets would there be? Later, he heard that Lu Zheng was the doctor of Prince Lingyang, so he decided immediately.
As he gets older, he is most afraid of illness. It is his honor to find a master with good medical skills like Lu Zheng.
"Eunuch Fu told me that if he didn't want to, he wouldn't be here today."
Lu Zheng nodded, "Okay, then you can live here with me for now, and come with me when I leave."
Lu Zheng looked at Xiao Fuzi, who hurriedly said: "Don't worry, girl, I will arrange a place for Chef You."
Then, in the evening, Lu Zheng had a good experience of what the imperial meal was like and ate the accumulated food directly.
In Cangwu Courtyard, Lu Zheng asked Lian Xin Hua Sui to rest and ate alone in the courtyard.
There was an eagle chirping in the air, and Aying, who had not been seen for several days, fell down.
"Where have you been?"
Just as Lu Zheng finished speaking, she saw a small bamboo tube tied to A Ying's feet. She stepped forward and took off the bamboo tube. After reading it, her face darkened.
