"Your Majesty has already collected so many great medicines?"
Seeing the surprised look on his daughter's face, Gu Ji on the other side chuckled, stroking his beard and said:
"How many? It took decades of effort to find just three of them. Is this still a lot?"
"oh."
Gu Lingyun pursed her lips and felt a little disappointed. She thought it would be easy to find it, so that she could look through all the nine medicines in the book. Unexpectedly, it took an average of ten years to find one. What a pity.
Zuo Ning looked at the time and it seemed that it was getting late, and then looked at Gu Lingyun's somewhat disappointed profile. The corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly. Then he stood up and saluted Gu Ji again, and then said:
"It's getting late. If the Prime Minister has nothing to say to the boy, then I'll take my leave first. There's still a wife at home waiting for me to go back and have dinner together."
Gu Ji waved his hand gently to indicate that he had nothing to do, but after thinking about it, he still held another red line for his daughter.
"By the way, Lingyun said yesterday that she hasn't seen Princess Huaiyu for a long time and she misses her a little. Please take her with you on your way back."
?
Gu Lingyun, who was sitting on the side, holding the tea cup in both hands and sipping tea in small sips, was stunned for a moment at first after hearing her father's words. Then, with her bright mind, she immediately realized what her father meant and blushed immediately. Not daring to look at Zuo Ning's face anymore, he lowered his head and replied vaguely:
"Huh?...Oh, yes...Yeah!"
Zuo Ning looked at Gu Lingyun, whose face was covered with red clouds, and his heart suddenly became more complicated. Then he deliberately made a helpless expression in front of Gu Ji and Gu Lingyun, and chuckled:
"That's okay. Miss Gu can just follow me later."
After saying that, Zuo Ning turned to look at Gu Lingyun, who was full of joy, and showed an elegant smile.
"Then it's troublesome, Mr. Zuo..."
…
"Husband!... Lingyun?"
Shen Luan, who usually sat in the waterside pavilion when he had nothing to do, turned his head and looked over after hearing the movement at the door of the verandah. He saw Zuo Ning and Gu Lingyun coming back side by side. Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was not sure why, shouted in surprise. , tilting his head slightly in confusion.
Gu Lingyun, who originally didn't dare to say anything to Zuo Ning to get closer along the way, and could only pretend to help Zuo Ning think about the world together, entered the door and walked through the verandah and saw Shen Luan, and suddenly felt a sense of relief. , then quickly ran over to the waterside pavilion with her skirt in hand, hugged the good sister sitting inside, and said affectionately:
"Hehe, Sister Bird, wow. Wow, this sister's hair is so beautiful, just like snow."
She hugged Shen Luan and turned around to look, and saw a white-haired beauty in the yard not far away who had just come back from her meditative state, sitting on a futon and looking over with a smile.
Shen Luan ruffled Gu Lingyun's hair, and then introduced to Lu Shuihan who had just come out of the "Jade Forging" practice not far away:
"This is Gu Lingyun, the daughter of Prime Minister Gu, and my playmate since childhood. Lingyun, that girl is Lu Shuihan, the granddaughter of the current Spear Saint."
"Hello, Miss Gu."
The carefree Lu Shuihan smiled at Gu Lingyun, said hello, and then came to the waterside pavilion in two steps and sat on the side.
The quick-thinking Gu Lingyun saw Lu Shuihan's relaxed posture in Zuo Ning's house and guessed that this must also be Mr. Zuo's confidante.
Mr. Zuo is really popular.
But yes, he is an upright man, tall and handsome. The most important thing is that he is not only unparalleled in martial arts, but also talented and considerate. Even she, who was extremely bored with most of the young masters, had some strange feelings for Zuo Ning, not to mention the others?
"Miss Lu, it's our first time meeting you. Please take care of me."
Zuo Ning chuckled, feeling very relieved when he saw that his backyard was still as stable as a rock. There was still something like a fire in the backyard, so he still couldn't get away with it.
Turning around, he saw the little Yaotao holding a casserole and rushing towards this side with small steps. Zuo Ning helped Xiao Yaotao take the soup pot in his hand, put it on the table, and faced the people inside the pavilion. The Yingying Yanyans said:
"Let's eat first. Yaotao, give some of the dishes to Old Tang and the others. Where are the servants?"
While sharing the soup, Yaotao smiled, revealing a pair of cute dimples:
"Dazhang can cook, so I let them figure it out on their own."
"That's fine. I'm worried about exhausting you."
…
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, Zuo Ning taught Lu Shuihan martial arts during the day, entertained Gu Lingyun who came to visit when he had nothing to do from time to time, and occasionally accompanied Shen Luan to delve into the philosophy of life at night. More than ten days passed.
Except that Shen Yunzhou came over and informed him about Zhu Yan's torture in prison, there was no big deal. As for the Qing King, Zuo Ning had never seen him, but Shen Feihe was on duty at the time. I saw it, and told myself after I went to the school grounds.
As the prince of Yizhou, Zuo Ning had come to escort Jiuye Bailan in person. Zuo Ning had known about it for a long time, but because of some speculations in his heart, he secretly revealed his suspicions to Gu Lingyun, so he was a little wary. However, he heard later that , King Qing just wanted a side courtyard in the west of the city to do business and make some money to pass the boring time.
Half a month later, it was time to rest again, and it was time to go to court.
Just the day before going to court, Shen Yunzhou came to the Duwei Mansion again, found Zuo Ning, then looked at Zuo Ning seriously, and said seriously:
"Old Chen died suddenly at home yesterday. The medical officer of Wu Yamen determined that Old Chen suffered a myocardial infarction, and then he became old and his anger did not go away, which caused the recurrence of the old disease and finally passed away."
Chen Yin passed away.
Sitting in the side courtyard, Zuo Ning, who had just been practicing "Forging Jade", was stunned after hearing what Shen Yunzhou said.
Chen Yin, Captain of the Yu Army, the old man who was so lively and affectionate with him more than half a month ago, died suddenly?
"Is this true? I saw that Captain Chen was a second-class master with strong energy and blood more than half a month ago, and his energy and blood had not declined much. Why did he suddenly pass away now?"
Zuo Ning couldn't believe it, and then he immediately thought of Chen Yin's official position, which was the supreme commander of the Yu Army patrolling the inner city, the Captain of the Yu Army!
Will it?
Shen Yunzhou couldn't believe this fact. A long-famous second-class grandmaster suddenly died of illness. For Shen Yunzhou, it was not just a matter of freeing up the captain of the Yu Army, but he also lost an extremely important person. The important combat power was on the eve of the Huangquan sect and the Bingzhou wealthy family plotting to rebel, and they lost a grandmaster first...
This doesn't look like a good thing.
"I can't believe it either. I just went over to see it in person this morning. It's true. Lao Chen is gone."
