Chu Wenzhu helped Yun Cuihe into the hospital.
"I told my mother to relax at home, but she refused to listen. She is not in good health to begin with. What can I do if she becomes anxious later?"
Chu Yue also stepped forward and held Yun Cuihe's other arm.
"Mom hasn't been feeling well lately, why didn't you tell me?"
Yun Cuihe looked at the two of them.
"It's okay. It's mainly because it was hot and cold at night. I caught a few chills, but it's not a big problem."
"Is it true that my husband went to control floods in the south of the Yangtze River?"
"My servant said that General Wu sent someone to deliver the news to the mansion."
Chu Yue nodded.
Since it was the news that Wu Yong asked someone to deliver to his house, it shouldn't be false.
"Floods have always been fierce. Maybe my husband will rush to the south of the Yangtze River when he leaves the palace." She looked at Yun Cuihe, "Mom, you and Xiaozhu go back first and prepare some extra clothes and shoes for your husband. Although there may not be any Too much time is spent on serving, but there has been a lot of rain in Jiangnan recently, so prepare a few extra clothes, at least have a change of clothes."
"Do you need to prepare anything else?" Yun Cuihe asked hurriedly.
"I will prepare the rest. Mom, please relax. My husband is so smart, he will be fine."
Chu Yue said as she sent Yun Cuihe out of the yard.
After sending Yun Cuihe away, Chu Yuedang asked Ningdong to prepare paper and pen, wrote down a few prescriptions, and also prepared some pills he had developed before, as well as banknotes for emergencies.
After thinking for a while, he looked at Kuroki again.
"Heimu, go to Zhuangzi and ask them to prepare more grain and transport it to Jiangnan after my husband leaves."
"yes."
Kuroki clasped his fists and left.
…
After going to court, Yuan Boyang wrote a secret letter and asked the secret guards to send it to Prince Jing's Mansion.
At this moment, in the palace of Prince Jing.
After Gu Jingning read the secret letter, he took out the fire stick and lit it.
"Lu Xinghe..."
There was no clear emotion in his eyes.
"The prince built the river embankment before, and both the supervisory censor and the minister of industry were involved. What if Lu Xinghe finds out something fishy about it?" the confidant standing below asked cautiously.
"Aren't there still so many people in the capital working in the middle? As a person who just entered the officialdom, I'm afraid he won't be able to find this boss. Besides, even if he did, he wouldn't be able to find any evidence." There was a look on his face. With a contemptuous smile, "It's not worth mentioning! If you are really disobedient, just kill him."
"Did Prime Minister Yuan say the same thing?"
"Xiang Yuan said, ask me to recruit him. If he fails..." Gu Jingning looked at the cronies in front of him, his eyes seemed to have no warmth, "then kill him."
The man in black in the palace looked stern.
"yes."
Gu Jingning narrowed her eyes, "I don't know what Yuan Xiang is worried about, but he is so afraid of his students. Lu Xinghe is just a fourth-grade Si Ye..."
After a pause, he added, "Is it because of the relationship with Princess Yue?"
"Princess Heyue has made a fortune in the capital by virtue of her medical skills, and has become close to many official wives and ladies. Furthermore, her properties are all over the Nanyuan Kingdom. Her wealth has long been immeasurable, and her land holdings are countless. And Your Majesty He also entrusted her with important responsibilities, and her status is far beyond what ordinary princesses can compare with."
The confidant looked at Gu Jingning.
"If the prince can really win over Lu Xinghe, he will have a wide network of contacts, money, and food, and he will no longer have to worry about food for the two hundred thousand soldiers outside the city."
Gu Jingning's lips curved into a careless smile.
"I thought that girl was not worth mentioning before. It seems that I underestimated her. If she is as good as you said, wouldn't it be better for me to marry her?"
The confidant was slightly stunned.
"But... isn't Princess Ke and Princess Yue already engaged to Lu Xinghe?"
"You can withdraw before we get married." He looked at the people standing in the hall with a half-smile, "What if Lu Xinghe died in Jiangnan?"
"Is this possible?" the confidant asked with some uncertainty.
"Why not?"
There was a hint of coldness in Gu Jingning's bottomless dark eyes.
"Since I can directly control that girl in my hands, why do I need to be separated by an unruly Lu Xinghe?"
The cronies clasped their fists.
"What the prince said is absolutely true, but my subordinates still feel that the prince can recruit him first. After all, his majesty values Lu Xinghe now, and he just competed for the task of Jiangnan floods in the court. If something goes wrong at this juncture, it may arouse suspicion. .”
Gu Jingning's cynical face had a stern look, like the dark wind blowing from hell, making people shudder.
"That makes sense. It seems that I have to create some surprises."
The confidant moved his lips, but finally said nothing more.
…
Chu Yue prepared her things and returned to Lu Mansion. Lu Xinghe was getting off the carriage. There was no trace of eagerness on his face to rush to the capital. He just sped up the moment he saw Chu Yue. The steps under his feet took her into his arms.
Chu Yue did not push him away immediately, but asked, "Ms. sir, I heard that you are going to Jiangnan to control floods?"
Lu Xinghe hummed.
"Yes, take good care of yourself in the capital, don't run around, and wait until I come back to marry you."
Chu Yue curled her lips, broke away from his arms, and gave him the things she had prepared. She also took out the gold medal she carried with her from her sash and gave it to him.
"If you take these things, they may come in handy at critical moments."
Lu Xinghe only accepted the baggage handed to him by Chu Yue.
"I can hold these medicines. Keep the gold medal. I'm running outside every day, so it's not appropriate to carry it with me. You have the gold medal with you, so you can protect yourself at critical moments."
Chu Yue couldn't help but put the gold medal into his hand.
"No! You must hold this gold medal. No one can hurt me in the capital, but you. Running outside is more risky, so take it with you just in case."
Lu Xinghe couldn't resist her, so he had to put the gold medal in his chest and keep it close to his body.
At this moment, Yun Cuihe also walked out of the house carrying a baggage.
"Xinghe, these are your clothes, shoes and socks. Yueyue asked mother to prepare a few more sets for you. Do you have enough?"
Lu Xinghe looked at her and said, "That's enough, Mom, no matter how many things there are, it won't be convenient for us to go on our way."
While several people were talking, Aji and several other followers had already brought in several horses.
"Master, the horses are ready."
Lu Xinghe hummed and asked quietly, "How are General Wu's preparations going?"
"General Wu said we will meet outside the city in two quarters of an hour." Aji replied.
"Okay." Lu Xinghe looked at Chu Yue and Yun Cuihe, "Mom, Yueyue, I have to go."
"Be careful." Yun Cuihe looked worried.
"I will, mother."
After he finished speaking, he took a horse from Aji and got on it.
