Si Ning first sent Mrs. Jing'an Hou back to her residence, and then asked Si Yihan to drive back to the Lu family.
On the way, Qiu Ju handed something from her waist to her, "Madam, this is the military report in the brocade box."
Except for Qiu Ju and Si Yihan, no one would have thought that Si Ning asked Qiu Ju to steal a copy of the military newspaper.
She slowly unfolded the military report. It was a secret message sent from the border.
While the secret document mentioned the war at the border, it also mentioned that someone at the border was suffering from an epidemic. The main symptoms were fever and death would occur within a few days.
Many people at the border have contracted the disease, and we hope the capital will take precautions.
"Epidemic?"
Si Ning took the secret and murmured to himself, why did this symptom sound so familiar?
"Ma'am, what's the problem?"
Qiu Ju focused on Si Ning and asked worriedly.
Si Ning came to his senses and ordered forward.
"Si Yihan, go to the medical clinic."
If a plague really breaks out at the border, the emperor will definitely pay attention to it and summon the doctors in the city to check it out.
Epidemics are dangerous, but as long as the cause is known and suppressed appropriately, there will be no danger.
The epidemic is an opportunity for their medical clinic to become famous.
Si Yihan turned the carriage around and headed towards the medical center.
At the same time, the emperor also received the news and ordered people to call the ministers and Zhou Yuanxuan to discuss the matter.
"Information came from the border that the war is tense and an epidemic has emerged. We need to send people to check the situation and stabilize the situation. If it is really an epidemic, we need to control it as soon as possible to avoid spreading to other places."
"Reporting to the emperor, I am willing to take the doctor to check the situation. If the situation is true, I will personally control the epidemic."
A minister stood up, and the Zhou court judge also said.
"I am also willing to go to the border to help the emperor solve his problems."
This is just to check the situation. The epidemic has just appeared and is not spreading. Anyone can go.
The emperor nodded as he listened, "Then thank you, my dear friends, for your hard work. Let's set off today."
Judge Zhou and the minister who had just stood up followed the order and retreated. The emperor called Lu Hanxiao to the imperial study alone.
"Han Xiao, I know you are unwell, but Shen Ranhao is locked up at home, and now the Ministry of War is leaderless, so I need you."
This was the first time that the emperor had surrendered to Lu Hanxiao. Lu Hanxiao listened and replied respectfully with his hands clasped in fists.
"I am terrified..."
The emperor gave Lu Hanxiao a hand, "Hey, you are my most trusted minister, don't be afraid, this matter has been settled. Tomorrow you will go to the Ministry of War to take charge of the overall situation. Now that the border is in turmoil, Hanxiao, I can only count on you. .”
Lu Hanxiao has been guarding the border for so many years, and the enemy soldiers were scared to death when they heard his name.
Although the emperor was wary of Lu Hanxiao's reputation, he had to count on Lu Hanxiao to calm down the border wars for him at critical moments.
"Han Xiao, don't let me down."
Lu Hanxiao said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will go to the Ministry of War tomorrow."
He only agreed to go to the Ministry of War in front of him. There was a turmoil at the border and he obviously had no intention of going to suppress it.
The emperor knew that he still had a grudge in his heart. There was something fishy about the fact that he was injured on the battlefield and the whole army was wiped out. However, he did not punish him. He should be grateful instead of being angry with himself.
He is the emperor, Lu Hanxiao does not have that qualification.
Of course, he only thought about these words in his heart and did not mean to blame Lu Hanxiao.
He reached out and patted Lu Hanxiao on the shoulder, and said with sincerity.
"Okay, if you have anything to do, just come to me and I will make the decision for you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After leaving the palace, Lu Hanxiao asked Ming Han to investigate what happened in the Xu family today. He wanted to know all the details.
Soon someone reported to him the whole story of the Xu family.
Lu Hanxiao was furious when he heard that Si Ning was wrongly accused of stealing military reports in the Xu family.
"Are those secret guards dead? I asked them to protect Si Ning, and that's how they protect me!"
The subordinate who came to report, Lu Hanxiao, became angry and knelt down.
"Master, please calm down. I will definitely teach my subordinates a lesson when they get back."
Ming Han also stood by for his brother Zhou Quan, "Madam doesn't like to have many people around her. If she finds that there are secret guards following her, she will definitely be unhappy. If something really happens to Madam, they won't sit idly by."
Lu Hanxiao looked towards him, and Ming Han quickly lowered his head.
"That's all, let's go and collect our punishments."
"Thank you, Master."
The two people below kneeled down on one knee and replied, feeling a sense of relief.
Lu Hanxiao glanced at the two of them and ordered.
"Go and tell Xue Fang, I don't want to see that woman appear again."
The woman he mentioned was naturally Mrs. Shen, Ming Han responded.
When the car arrived at the Marquis of Ning'an Mansion, Lu Hanxiao waved his hand for the two of them to leave.
He returned to the courtyard and saw Si Yihan standing waiting in the courtyard, his expression softening a little.
"This time you have done a good job in protecting the Lord, and I will reward you."
He took out a medicine bottle from his arms and threw it to Si Yihan. Si Yihan held it in his hand and frowned slightly.
"I protect her because I want to. You don't have to..."
Si Yihan would only call himself a subordinate in front of Si Ning, but he had no respect at all in front of Lu Hanxiao.
Lu Hanxiao didn't care about him. If Si Yihan hadn't been involved in what happened today, Qiu Ju alone might not have been able to protect Si Ning.
The secret guards would not watch Si Ning being arrested and remain indifferent, but they could not guarantee that the Shen family had no other back-ups.
He really accidentally hurt Si Ning, and nothing he did could help.
"Those who improve their skills don't keep useless people around them."
Lu Hanxiao didn't look at Si Yihan and walked straight into the room.
Si Ning was writing something at his desk and didn't even know anyone came in.
Lu Hanxiao walked forward curiously, and when he saw it was a prescription, he asked in confusion.
"Is it another new recipe?"
Si Ning was startled by the voice and raised his head suddenly to meet a pair of deep eyes.
When their eyes met, the atmosphere in the room became a little subtle.
Lu Hanxiao's eyes moved to the tip of Si Ning's nose, which was stained with ink at some point.
He subconsciously raised his hand to wipe it off for Si Ning, but Si Ning dodged it.
Lu Hanxiao's hand stopped in mid-air and pointed to the tip of her nose with some embarrassment.
"It's on."
Only then did Si Ning understand. He hurriedly wiped the ink off the tip of his nose with his fingers. While wiping, he pretended to be innocent and asked.
"Why did you come back so early today? The Emperor didn't find you?"
Lu Hanxiao knew Si Ning, and he could tell that something was unusual in just one sentence.
"What do you know? Did you see the military report?"
The tone was neither sad nor happy, nor strange at all.
Si Ning had no intention of hiding it from him, and there was nothing to hide from him.
"Well, when Qiu Ju took out the mezzanine, she made a copy of it. Who did the emperor send to the border epidemic?"
Lu Hanxiao replied truthfully, "The Minister of Rites and Magistrate Zhou will go together."
Si Ning suddenly heard that the two people were stunned for a moment, then he reacted and asked in confusion.
"You mean Wang Huiming, the Minister of Rites?"
