"..."
Jing Yu was a little disappointed.
It seems that the prince doesn't like this thing.
He didn't give up yet: "What do you think of this Mo, Your Majesty?"
Shen Yufeng looked at the delicate ink stick in his hand and said lightly: "If it can be collected as a treasure, it has a certain price."
Jing Yu's eyes lit up, it seemed that the prince was quite satisfied with these two ink strips.
In this case, he would be able to express Lu Ling's request.
"Your Majesty... I have something to do..." Jing Yu said tentatively.
Shen Yufeng looked up at him and asked, "Why are you hesitating?"
Jing Yu thought for a while and decided to speak directly: "Your Majesty, the lady wants to ask you something. She wants to go to Beijing with us."
"So this extra strip of ink is her reward?"
Jing Yu smiled dryly and said, "She wants to go to Beijing to find a doctor to treat her mother, but she doesn't know the way..."
Shen Yufeng's expression dimmed, he put the two ink sticks back into the box, and asked in a deep voice: "Have you revealed my identity?"
"Ah?" Jing Yu was a little confused, "My subordinate didn't say anything. I only said that you are from the capital."
Shen Yufeng smiled when he heard this and murmured: "I'm afraid she guessed that my king's identity is not simple. If I guessed correctly, when she arrives in the capital, she will ask you to help her introduce a doctor."
Jing Yu: "..."
Why didn't he think of this level?
"However, she said that she would only follow the prince's motorcade from a distance, and her subordinates have agreed to let her wait for us at the North City Gate tomorrow morning..."
Shen Yufeng glanced over, and Jing Yu instantly felt a chill on his back.
He lowered his head and stopped talking.
But I heard Shen Yufeng say solemnly: "You will make the decision for me."
Jing Yu suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly knelt down on one knee to plead guilty: "Your Majesty, I will reject that lady right now."
Saying that, he walked out.
"Wait a minute." Shen Yufeng stopped him, "Find out her identity first. If it's okay, there's no harm in letting her follow."
Jing Yu's eyes lit up, and the prince agreed immediately!
Great, if the prince refuses, how shameless he will be in front of the lady!
So he hurried out and wanted to find out Lu Ling's identity.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked out of the yard and onto the street, I heard someone discussing Wen Xin Mo Studio in a study shop in front of me.
Jing Yu stepped forward and heard it, and it turned out that they were all talking about the Lu family's high-price recycling of ink sticks in the past few days.
This matter had already spread throughout Yucheng and surrounding counties, so Jing Yu was not surprised.
He went up and asked Lu Ling whose daughter-in-law he was trying to give it a try.
The shopkeeper said in surprise: "You don't know this? She is the daughter-in-law of the Song family, the prefect of Weizhou."
Because of the previous lawsuit involving the Lu family, everyone in Yucheng now knows Lu Ling's identity.
Jing Yu was stunned for a moment - the daughter-in-law of the prefect's family? That... is really a bit suspicious.
Who doesn't know that King Zhao will arrive in Weicheng to die in more than a month?
The magistrate of Weizhou asked his daughter-in-law to approach King Zhao at this time?
Jing Yu's good impression of Lu Ling disappeared instantly.
He asked the shopkeeper again: "I heard that the Lu family's mother is seriously ill, is it true?"
The shopkeeper frowned when he heard this: "I don't know that."
Jing Yu became more and more suspicious of Lu Ling's arrival.
Full of anger, he asked several people to ask, but they all said they had never heard of it.
Jing Yu could only go to the Lu family secretly to inquire.
Over there, Lu Ling had already hurried back to pack things and make arrangements.
She first asked Lu Cheng to keep an eye on Zhuangzi and the shop, and of course not to relax about studying.
Then he asked Guanshi Liu to help manage the affairs of the family and write a letter to notify her immediately if anything happened.
Finally, she asked Haitang to take care of Mrs. Lu at home.
Haitang was stunned. The young lady actually wanted to go to Beijing alone?
Lu Ling smiled and said: "Where is the person? Didn't I find a companion today?"
How could Haitang dare to trust a man she had only met twice? What if they have evil intentions towards their young lady?
Lu Ling said: "You have seen Xin Yi's condition. There is no way I can trust her to take care of my mother."
Haitang remembered that Xin Yi had always been distracted recently. Indeed, she didn't trust Mrs. Lu.
have no choice. She could only agree to stay and take care of Mrs. Lu.
Lu Ling went to the yard to visit Mrs. Lu.
At this time, Xin Yi was not in the house, but sitting on the corridor outside, wiping tears.
Lu Ling said to Haitang, "As you can see, Xin Yi has not yet come out of her pain. You need to enlighten her more."
After saying this, he asked Haitang to go talk to Xin Yi, while Lu Ling went into the house.
The embroidered flowers in Mrs. Lu's hands have been completed, and she is sewing the drawstring of the purse.
When she looked up and saw Lu Ling coming, she said happily: "Ling'er, take a look at the purse my mother embroidered for you, do you like it?"
The little maid next to her couldn't help but frown: Didn't you say yesterday that it was embroidered for Mr. Lu?
Lu Ling came up to take a closer look and said with a smile: "My mother's embroidery skills are unparalleled in Yucheng. Of course my daughter likes it."
Mrs. Lu finished the last stitch, bit off the thread, stood up, and tied it around Lu Ling's waist herself.
Lu Ling stretched out his hand and touched it. He didn't know what was bulging inside.
She couldn't help but curiously asked: "Mom, what's inside?"
Mrs. Lu also stretched out her hand to squeeze the purse and explained: "There are some hemostatic powder in it. If you encounter any danger in the future, it may be able to save your life."
Lu Ling smiled and said, "Mother, what dangers can I encounter?" '
"That's not necessarily the case. Look at your dad. He encountered an accident outside and was stabbed by a gangster. If he had had a pack of styptic powder with him at that time, he wouldn't have left us."
As she spoke, she sobbed and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
Lu Ling: "..."
The mother remembered the fact that her father was away, but she also forgot that her father had obviously suffered a sudden illness, fell from his horse, hit his head on a stone, and died on the spot.
"Mom, let's go for a walk." Lu Ling suddenly raised his voice and forced a smile.
Mrs. Lu raised her eyes, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, maybe I haven't been out for a long time. I'm going to get moldy from being bored in the yard every day."
After saying that her worries turned into joy, she led Lu Ling and walked out.
Lu Ling was already a woman, so she didn't need to worry about her reputation, so she and Mrs. Lu walked out the door.
There is a small alley in front of Lu's house, with few pedestrians, and they are the only residents.
After turning out of the alley, you can see that the corner is much wider, and there is a pond there, which also belongs to the Lu family.
It was already July, and all the lotus flowers in the pond had withered, and the pond was full of dead leaves, making it look a bit depressed.
Lu Ling pulled his mother to stop in front of the pond, tilting her head to see if she could find a touch of pink or green life in the pond.
"Look, mother!"
Lu Ling said in surprise, "There is a flower bone there!"
Mrs. Lu looked in the direction she pointed, and she saw some lotus flowers that had not yet opened hidden under a patch of residual lotus flowers. They were shy and shy, like a girl who had not left the palace, shy and afraid to see people.
The mother and daughter were so happy that they didn't notice Jing Yu standing not far away from them.
The more he looked at it, the angrier he became, and thought to himself: Isn't this a good thing for Mrs. Lu? Your complexion is so flushed, does it look like you are sick?
So, he turned around and prepared to go back and report to his master, this lady is a liar!
But he didn't know that as soon as he walked with his front foot, something happened to his back foot.
