Lingyang Palace.
When Lian Xin arrived at Tongshuge, Wang Zhi was still hiding under the stairs and refused to come out. Wang Zheng was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, but he couldn't force Wang Zhi out, otherwise Wang Zhi would probably resist him even more.
"Azhi..."
Hearing the familiar voice, Wang Zhi looked up and saw Lian Xin burying her head in her knees again, her hands still hugging her knees tightly, looking pitiful.
Lian Xin felt distressed, she had acted too hastily.
Lian Xin raised the cloth tiger in her hand, "A Zhi, look, I went to the sewing room and made a little tiger for A Zhi."
Wang Zhi did not raise his head.
"I also made a little eagle for Aying. Can you give it to Aying when he comes back?"
Wang Zhi then raised his head, and Lian Xin raised the eagle in her hand and shook it at him, then opened her other hand and coaxed in a warm voice: "Let's go see if A Ying is back."
"……No."
"How does Ah Zhi know it hasn't come back?"
Wang Zhi: "He can bark."
Lian Xin naturally knew that every time A Ying came back from hunting, she would first make an eagle cry in the sky before falling down.
Lian Xin continued to coax him, "Then let's go to the kitchen first and let Grandpa You prepare food for A Ying, okay?"
Wang Zhi looked at her for a moment, and then came out from under the stairs. Lianxin put Buhuhu and Xiaoying into his arms, then picked him up, and Wang Zhi buried his head in her arms.
Lian Xin looked at Wang Zheng, who was a little lonely, and said to him: "It was because of our suddenness. Ah Zhi is not used to it yet, so General Wang should not be impatient..."
In the past two days, except when Wang Zhi was sleeping, Lian Xin tried to avoid Wang Zhi at other times. Lu Zheng was not here, and everyone he was familiar with suddenly left. Wang Zhi would definitely feel a little uneasy.
Wang Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "I was too anxious too."
He glanced at Wang Zhi, who was holding Lian Xin's neck tightly with one hand, and felt a little sad in his heart, "Then I will go back to the guest house first, and A Zhi will trouble the girl..."
Lian Xin nodded slightly, looked at Wang Zheng's leaving figure, and sighed in her heart. She asked Wang Zhi, "Don't you like Daddy?"
Wang Zhi raised his little head and seemed to be thinking about this question, but never gave Lian Xin an answer.
Lian Xin carried him to the kitchen.
…
The next morning, Lian Xin was waiting outside Lu Zheng's room. She knew that Lu Zheng would definitely wake up today, and even if he didn't wake up, he would be hungry.
Hearing the noise coming from inside, Lian Xin went in carrying the tray.
Lu Zheng's nose twitched and she became more energetic, "Seafood porridge?"
Lian Xin first handed her a cup of tea and rinsed her mouth briefly, then scooped out the porridge from a small cup. She smiled and said, "Chef You cooked it early in the morning. He cooked it for two hours, and A Zhi drank two bowls."
Lu Zheng swallowed and took the porridge handed over by Lian Xin. He drank two bowls of it without even getting off the bed. When he saw that the porridge was gone, he put the bowl down.
"The prince said that the girl won't wake up too early, so let's drink some porridge first. Lunch will be prepared in the kitchen earlier."
Lu Zheng heard the ticking sound outside and asked Lianxin, "Is it raining?"
"It rained all night yesterday. Although it is raining lightly now, it is still raining. Will the girl get up to take a shower and change clothes or lie down for a while?"
Lu Zheng was not full, so she said: "Don't lie down anymore, get up. I want to eat hot pot for lunch, and I also want to eat grilled lamb chops..."
As Lu Zheng's exclusive cook, how efficient is Chef You?
Then, before it was time for lunch, Lu Zheng and Wang Zhi were already sitting on the corridor outside the kitchen. Lu Zheng was holding a plate with grilled lamb chops cut by Chef You.
After Wang Zhi finished chewing one, another one was handed to him. He happily took it and his mouth was full of oil.
Xiao Qi, who came to look for Lu Zheng, stood in the distance and watched Lu Zheng and Wang Zhi eating happily. He did not come forward to disturb them, and just stood in the corridor and watched the two of them eating with gusto.
Until Lu Zheng saw him and asked him, "Is something wrong?"
Xiao Fuzi said: "It's nothing serious. Yesterday someone from Daqingshan sent me a message. Do you want to see me, girl?"
Lu Zheng shook her head, it was obvious that she didn't want to see him.
Xiao Fuzi glanced at Xiao Qi and said, "The person here is handing over a post from the dean of Sansheng Medical College."
Others may not give him this face, but the reputation of the dean of Sansheng Medical College is too great. If Lu Zheng disappears, he may cause gossip among his peers.
She threw the bones in her hands onto the empty plate, "Oh, let's meet."
"Then let's do it tomorrow. The master will go out later."
Lu Zheng looked at Xiao Qi, who was dressed somewhat formally, thinking that he was going to the palace, "Are you going to the palace?"
Xiao Qi shook his head, and Xiao Fuzi said hurriedly: "It's the old lady's birthday tomorrow. The master will not go there tomorrow. When he picks up the girl and returns to the mansion in the afternoon, the prince will go to the Taifu's Mansion to congratulate the old lady on his birthday on behalf of the prince."
"If you have something to do, just be busy. You don't need to pick me up. Just have a driver."
"How about that?"
Lu Zheng: "What's the problem? Don't bother."
Xiao Fuzi knew that Xiao Qi had to pick up Lu Zheng, so he racked his brains and came up with a lame reason.
"The prince's carriage has not been used for many years. Now the only usable and elegant carriage in the palace is the master's. After all, the master is also the heir apparent of the Lingyang Palace. Of course, going out for a banquet must be pompous. When the master picks up the girl and comes back, Let’s go to Tai Tu’s Mansion again.”
Lu Zheng groaned and continued to eat the mutton chops. She couldn't ride a horse, and it was too far to walk. It was a bit inconvenient to take A Zhi with her.
After officially finishing lunch, Lu Zheng checked the pulses of Song Siwen and others one by one and readjusted the prescriptions. In the afternoon, he took Wang Zhi to Princess Dachang's Mansion.
After getting on the carriage, Lu Zheng remembered that he hadn't told Wang Zheng about Wang Zhi yet, so he thought about talking about it when he got back.
Wang Zheng, who had been busy in the guest house for a long time, finally finished the big windmill he made for Wang Zhi. He walked very quickly and wanted to put it next to Wang Zhi's small couch before Wang Zhi woke up from his nap.
When they arrived at Cangwu Hospital, they learned that Lu Zheng had taken Wang Zhi out for medical treatment.
"Why don't General Wang go back and rest first? When the girl and Ah Zhi come back, I will send someone to inform the general."
Wang Zheng, holding the windmill in his hand, nodded to Lian Xin, "Thank you very much, girl."
"The prince will pick up the girl. The girl will not have dinner at the eldest princess's residence. Ah Zhi will be back before dinner. He will definitely like this windmill after seeing it..."
Wang Zheng suddenly raised his head, looked at Lian Xin, and asked uncertainly: "Where did you say Miss Lu went for medical treatment just now?"
"Azhi always likes to follow the girl to the eldest princess's mansion."
"Which eldest princess is it?"
Lian Xin said with a smile: "She is the eldest princess Wen Hui. I heard that A Zhi particularly liked the stone lion at the entrance of the house, and even wanted to move back..."
Lian Xin looked at Wang Zheng's increasingly stiff expression and wondered, "General, General Wang?"
Wang Zheng came back to his senses, "I'm afraid that A Zhi will be naughty, so I'm a little worried."
"General, don't worry. I heard from Huasui that everyone in the eldest princess's house likes A Zhi, especially the eldest princess..."
The more Wang Zheng listened, the more his heart sank. He tried his best to control his emotions and left Cangwu Courtyard in a hurry. As soon as he returned to the guest house, he ordered his follower Ji An to pack his luggage.
"Didn't the general say yesterday that he would stay in Lingyang Prince's Mansion for a longer period of time and wait until the young master gets used to it before we return to Lingyang? Why are we preparing to go back today?"
Wang Zheng walked a few steps in the room anxiously, "I'm not worried about Madam being in Lingyang. It would be better to take Ah Zhi back earlier."
Ah Zhi can no longer stay in the capital. The eldest princess must be suspicious. If the eldest princess can recognize him, then some elderly people in the capital must also recognize him.
What if people find out?
No, he had to leave as soon as possible. They would leave when Lu Zheng and A Zhi came back from the Princess's mansion, and they would have to leave early tomorrow morning at the latest.
Wang Zheng was frightened when he thought of that possibility. He had made an oath that A Zhi was his child, that he would treat him as his own son, and that he would protect him.
Ah Zhi is no one, just his child. No one can harm him...
