Lu Zheng relented.
She put Wang Zhi's jade pendant back into her purse and held him in her arms. She didn't look at Xiao Qi, but asked Wang Zheng, who was still kneeling on the spot.
"When will the general plan to return to Lingyang City? Ah Zhi is not used to it yet, but would you like me to go with him?"
Wang Zheng was stunned, could he still leave? Will the Crown Prince allow them to leave?
Xiao Qi's expression changed when he heard Lu Zheng's words. He stood up suddenly, looked at Lu Zheng, and tightened his hands unconsciously.
What does this mean? Does she no longer want to stay in the capital and is leaving? For the sake of this child, was she going to... ignore him?
An indescribable complex emotion filled Xiao Qi's heart. Could it be that in Lu Zheng's heart, he was not as good as Wang Zhi? Yes, he was also her patient. He was not as obedient and cute as Wang Zhi.
Naturally, she prefers Wang Zhi.
Xiao Qi's eyes fell on Lu Zheng's hand holding Wang Zhi, and a sense of grievance filled his heart. It was obvious that they met first, and she would leave him alone before his mute disease was cured.
I said earlier that I would take him back to the valley, was that all to coax him...
Xiao Fuzi felt the ups and downs of Xiao Qi's emotions and felt extremely anxious. He opened his mouth and said, "Gu...what do you mean by this?"
Xiao Fuzi saw that Xiao Qi's attention was only on Lu Zheng at this time, and he speculated that his master might care more about Miss Lu than Wang Zhi's amazing identity.
"If you have something to discuss, why is General Wang kneeling all the time? Get up quickly, sit down and say, our prince is not an unkind person..."
"Girl, sit down too. I didn't even take a sip of tea along the way. Oops, Ah Zhi's face was stained with tears. Please wipe it off..."
As Xiao Fuzi chattered, the tense atmosphere gradually eased, but Lu Zheng still didn't give Xiao Qi a look.
Xiao Qi, who couldn't speak, began to feel anxious again.
"Master, let's have a cup of tea too..." Xiao Fuzi enthusiastically handed Xiao Qi a cup of tea. Unexpectedly, Xiao Qi rolled his eyes and Xiao Fuzi smiled stiffly. What could he do if the girl ignored her?
After a stick of incense, Lian Xin got the news from the servants, saying that the young master of the Wang family seemed to have made the prince unhappy, so Lian Xin hurried to the guest house.
Ji An, who was guarding the entrance of the courtyard, naturally would not stop her. As soon as Lian Xin entered the front hall, she noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere. She first saluted Xiao Qi and then walked towards Lu Zheng.
When Wang Zhi, who had just been coaxed by Lu Zheng, saw Lian Xin coming, his eyes turned red again and he looked at her aggrievedly. Lian Xin looked at his red and swollen eyes and felt distressed, but she did not dare to reach out to pick him up.
Xiao Fuzi looked at her and tried to find something to say to break the deadlock, "But are you looking for a girl?"
"Today the sewing room made a new dress for the girl. The embroiderers haven't embroidered the pattern yet. What style does the girl want to embroider?"
Lu Zheng gave Wang Zhi a mouthful of water and said slowly: "...There is no need to make new clothes."
When these words fell into Xiao Qi's ears, they automatically interpreted them as saying that she was about to leave, and naturally there was no need to make new clothes. In an instant, grievances mixed with anger spewed out.
She had made up her mind to leave, right? She didn't even have the intention to discuss it with him. Okay, just leave. Anyway, he was the only one in Lingyang Palace...
Xiao Qi looked away from Lu Zheng and walked out of the front hall without even holding an umbrella, walking out in the rain.
Chang Ping hurriedly caught up to hold an umbrella for Xiao Qi, but Xiao Qi stopped him and walked back to Tongshuge in the rain.
"master……"
Xiao Fuzi looked at Xiao Qi's lonely back and called anxiously. He wanted to chase him but was afraid that Lu Zheng would really leave out of anger.
"What are you saying, girl? If you want to go to Lingyang, we can go together. It won't be a problem to stay for a few days."
Xiao Fuzi looked at Lu Zheng with some resentment in his eyes, "Didn't the girl say that doctors should fulfill their duties? My master is relying on the girl because he is mute. The girl leaves as soon as she says. How sad must my master be..."
Lu Zheng looked puzzled and said, "I didn't say I wouldn't treat him."
"The girl just said that she didn't need to make new clothes." Wasn't it because she was leaving, so she didn't need to make new clothes?
"I have enough clothes. I haven't worn the new clothes I made a few days ago. What else are there to wear?"
Xiao Fuzi: "?!" Is their palace short of money? Which noble lady is short of clothes?
Xiao Fuzi cursed in his heart, but the girl had to make it clear to her master. It was so heart-wrenching to see how his master looked like just now, didn't the girl feel bad?
Thinking this in his heart, he immediately changed his face to a smiling face, very flattering, "Just don't leave, I'll go and inform the master."
Otherwise, his master would never know how sad he should be. Look, even something as big as Wang Zhi has been forgotten.
Xiao Fuzi gave Lian Xin a look before walking into the rain.
Lu Zheng was speechless for a while. The expressions of the master and servant were changing faster than the other!
The hall was silent, only the sound of rain could be heard. After a long time, Lu Zheng said to Lian Xin, "Go and pack A Zhi's things."
"Azhi is leaving?"
"Um."
Lian Xin nodded and glanced at Wang Zhi before leaving.
Lu Zheng motioned for Wang Zheng to sit down. Wang Zhi in his arms was still holding her neck tightly. Lu Zheng patted him gently and talked to Wang Zheng.
"It was because I suddenly went to see a doctor at the Grand Princess's residence. I noticed that they treated A Zhi differently, and I forgot to tell the general."
Wang Zheng didn't know how to answer this. It wasn't that he didn't believe Lu Zheng, he just didn't want to implicate her.
"Although I am suspicious, the eldest princess... did not clarify A Zhi's identity to me."
"The eldest princess also asked me to let the general take Ah Zhi to leave the capital early. Tomorrow is the old lady's birthday. We went to the old lady's house. The old lady..."
Lu Zheng talked about today's events in an unhurried manner. Her voice was very calm, but Wang Zheng felt like there was a storm in his heart.
Your Highness... I should be talking about the prince. Did anyone else see A Zhi?
Seeing that he was just frowning and worrying but not answering, Lu Zheng felt a little guilty. She shouldn't have gone to the Taifu's Mansion, the eldest princess had clearly warned her.
"Azhi can no longer stay in the capital."
"Sooner or later, others will be like the old master and mistake A Zhi for someone else. General Wang might as well leave Beijing as soon as possible..."
Wang Zheng looked up at her, feeling a little uneasy, "Will the Crown Prince allow us to leave?"
Lu Zheng was not sure either. Although she knew that Xiao Qi was not a ruthless person, she could not read Xiao Qi's mind. What on earth was he thinking?
Wang Zheng's eyes fell on Wang Zhi, and he gave a bitter smile, his voice was a little low, "When we were naming A Zhi, we thought about it for a long time. He said that A Zhi would be my child from now on, so he took the character Zhi from my regular character. , also means to stop the war."
Lu Zheng listened quietly without asking who this 'he' was. Who he was was not important. What Lu Zheng felt was Wang Zheng's paternal affection for Wang Zhi.
No one can shake that.
"... No matter who asks, whoever asks, he is just my child."
"There are many people with similar looks in this world, Miss Lu, do you think so?" Wang Zheng asked her.
Lu Zheng smiled lightly. For some reason, Lu Zheng, who had never been interested in anything other than medical treatment, now wanted to help his father.
"I can't be Xiao Qi's boss, but I can ask him what he means."
