Chapter 481 Everyone's thoughts

Mrs. Lu looked at the group of young people on the school field, and said to Wei Ruo with emotion: "There have been many generals in this school field, and my old man used to train our four sons and those apprentices here. "

The Lu family is full of loyalty, the elder's four sons all died in battle, and now only the eldest son has one son alive, which is Lu Yuhong.

The two elders were unwilling to let Lu Yuhong join the army again, but Lu Yuhong was a martial idiot, and he wanted to learn from his grandfather to be a respected general, and wanted to fight on the front line several times.

If Mr. Lu didn't stop him, he might have already gone to battle to kill the enemy.

Although the sons of the second elder are gone now, the apprentices they trained are occupying important positions in various armies.

Thus, the two elders have a prominent status, but they are not feared by the emperor.

Wei Ruo felt that when Mrs. Lu said these words, her thoughts went back to the past. Her words seemed to be addressed to her, and more of her feelings from the heart, so Wei Ruo did not take the old lady's words. This word.

Wei Ruo's gaze came to the school grounds, where Lu Yuhong was having fun with several young masters.

The content of their competition is archery. It is estimated that today is the old man's birthday, and it is not appropriate to toss too violently. It would be bad if someone is hurt.

Wei Ruo saw a few familiar figures in the crowd, one was Xu Fengyuan, he won the Jinshi, and he was going to stay in the capital. The Xu family in Taizhou Prefecture had already purchased a mansion in the capital.

So he was in the capital these days, and he came here at the invitation of Lu Yuhong when the old man of the Lu family celebrated his birthday.

There is also Wei Yichen, who is talking with several people who are older than him.

He has already entered the Imperial Academy, and has done the compilation of the Imperial Academy, from the sixth grade.

It's been quite busy these days, and I came here today because it was Mr. Lu's birthday.

Then Wei Ruo saw Wei Jinyi in the form of "Wang Jin". He was standing with Master Han, the commander of the Shenshu camp. Outsiders seemed to think that he was a follower brought by Master Han.

But Wei Ruo knew that Master Han was an old man related to Xu Guogong's mansion and belonged to Wei Jinyi.

Although Xu Guogong's mansion died, it left behind many cronies unknown to outsiders.

This Mr. Han is one of them, but he is different from Zhang Yi and Ke Chongshan who have been secretly protecting Wei Jinyi. He chose to stay in the army, and after nearly twenty years, he took the position of commander of the Shenshu Battalion .

Wei Jin can also reappear in front of the emperor, and his credit is indispensable.

Because after Wei Ruo married into Prince Rui's Mansion, Wei Jin never stopped avoiding her, so Wei Ruo knew.

Then Wei Ruo did not accidentally see Chu Lan. Instead of joining in the fun, he stood in the corridor and looked at these people on the school field as a spectator.

The other is Qi Zhen and Yu Wang. I don't know what the two are talking about. Qi Zhen's smile looks suave and suave, but it's greasy. .

At the same time, everyone on the school field also noticed the situation in the attic.

It was Mrs. Lu who brought the female relatives to watch their competition.

Chu Lan saw Wei Ruo in the crowd at a glance. It wasn't that Wei Ruo was so outstanding that Chu Lan could recognize her at a glance, but that the color of her clothes was particularly conspicuous.

From such a long distance, the face cannot be seen clearly, and the jewelry makeup is even more unobtrusive, but it is easy to be noticed with a touch of unusual and rare color.

He didn't have much interest in Wei Qingruo, but when he saw Wei Qingruo, he thought of Prince Rui's Mansion, and then couldn't help but think of Xu Heyou who chose to work for Prince Rui.

Thinking of Xu Heyou, Chu Lan couldn't help feeling irritated in his chest.

What happened to him? Why be upset because of a man who is so uncomfortable?

Even if Xu Heyou saved his life, even if he chose his younger brother instead of him, what does it matter?

Chu Lan didn't understand, so she became more concerned and irritable.

But Chu Lan only allowed this emotion to appear for a moment, and soon he returned to normal.

Many people on the school grounds also noticed the situation in the attic just like Chu Lan did. Chu Heng specifically looked for Wei Qingruo among the crowd.

"Which one is Wei Qingruo?" Chu Heng asked his followers.

"Go back to my lord, it's the one in purple."

"Purple clothes..." Chu Heng's gaze came to the attic again.

Sure enough, he saw Wei Ruo in purple clothes at a glance.

"This person is quite pretty," Chu Heng commented, and then asked Qi Zhen, "It seems that what you said is true, my sister is so good-looking, I think my younger sister will not be bad."

Qi Zhen was staring at Wei Ruo blankly at this time, and suddenly smiled: "It seems that women are used to being jealous."

"how you said that?"

"Miss Wei said that Miss Wei is quite vulgar. She has a little beauty but is obsessed with farming. She is undoubtedly a peasant woman. But what I have seen today is definitely not what a peasant woman has. She is even worse than Second Miss." Qi Zhen commented.

"Women are generally like this, so I advised you not to waste too much time on women." Chu Heng sneered.

"Don't worry, I can still distinguish the priorities. Although Ruanxiang is good, it can't be a hero's tomb." Qi Zhen smiled gracefully and confidently.

Women, they can be used for pain and pampering, but they must not affect major events for women, this is his bottom line.

He is like this to other women, and it is the same to Wei Qingwan.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Zhen shifted his gaze to several people who were undergoing an archery competition, and asked, "Wouldn't you like to go and try, my lord?"

Chu Heng sneered slightly: "Are you afraid that you want to make a joke of me?"

"My lord has never been bad at riding and shooting, how can it be called a joke?"

"If I compare with Chu Lan and follow suit, won't I slap this king in the face?"

Chu Heng's riding and shooting is indeed not bad, but there is a Chu Lan who has been pressing him all the time. He lost to Chu Lan frequently when he was a prince, which made him quite annoyed.

"So what's the matter, the emperor is not only interested in cavalry and archery, and the generals will go to lead troops to fight. What the emperor hopes most is that someone can solve the deficit of the national treasury in the past two years and the problem of grain shortage in various places."

"Do you still need to remind me?" Chu Heng snorted coldly, and then said, "It's you, why don't you compete with them in the past, anyway, it doesn't matter if you win or lose."

"Okay, then I'll go over and play with them." Qi Zhen really didn't care, it just happened that he also wanted to meet other people for a while.

When Qi Zhen was walking towards the competition platform, a middle-aged man in the corridor not far away also stood up and walked towards the competition platform in silence...

Chapter 482 Sudden Accident

On the school field, Lu Yuhong could only think about the archery competition.

"Brother Xu, come quickly, it's your turn." Lu Yuhong called Xu Fengyuan to come up and shoot the arrow.

Xu Fengyuan didn't want to be competitive at first, but Lu Yuhong had already invited him like this, so he couldn't refuse, so he had to come forward and shoot arrows.

A total of ten arrows, he hit the bull's-eye with nine of them, and the remaining one deviated.

Xu Fengyuan smiled, and returned the bow in his hand to Lu Yuhong.

Lu Yuhong handed the bow and arrow to Qi Zhen who just came over.

Qi Zhen handed over the folding fan to the person beside him, and took the bow and arrow from Lu Yuhong.

At this moment, the middle-aged man in brown clothes walked up to the competition stage.

The man held something in his arms, which was round and round, making him look like he had a big belly.

People around were watching the excitement and did not notice the man.

"Master Liang, do you want to try too?" A Lu family guard who followed Lu Yuhong asked respectfully.

The man was Wai Lang, a member of the Yu Heng Qing Officials Division, who assisted the Yu Heng Qing Officials Division Lang Zhong to manage the harvesting of meat, leather, bone horns, feathers, etc. of mountains and wild animals, and was in charge of manufacturing military uniforms, weapons, firing ceramics, and smelting and casting utensils.

The man calmly said to the guard: "You step back."

The guard felt that the man's words were a little strange. With so many guests here today, they, the guards, naturally had to accompany them, so they couldn't step back and rest.

Thinking that Mr. Liang came with good intentions, he didn't think much about it.

But he saw Mr. Liang leaning towards Qi Zhen again.

The guard quickly reminded: "Lord Liang, wait a minute, wait for the third son of Qi..."

The guard didn't finish his sentence, but saw Mr. Liang was holding a torch in his hand, the cover had been removed, and the top was glowing red.

The guard who realized something was wrong quickly shouted.

Qi Zhen was about to open his bow when he heard the sound and stopped immediately.

Just turning around, he saw Mr. Liang, who had a cold face just now, showing a fierce look.

Qi Zhen felt something was wrong and quickly backed away.

Qi Zhen's entourage and the guards of Lu Mansion hurriedly stood in front of Qi Zhen.

The man didn't stop, and his followers and guards quickly stopped him, but at this moment, something in the man's arms was burning.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud "bang", and the entire competition platform was blown to pieces.

The attic where Wei Ruo was staying also shook.

All the ladies and ladies screamed in horror.

Wei Ruo looked at the center of the school field in shock. That thing just now...seemed to be a thunderbolt?

But if it was a thunderbolt, why did it appear in the Lu family? Or when the Lu family held a big banquet?

Wei Ruo didn't have time to think deeply about this question, and her eyes were firmly fixed on the school field.

When the dust from the explosion dissipated, they saw the mess after the explosion, with broken arms and limbs, and flesh and blood flying everywhere.

The lady, who hadn't experienced this scene for a while, turned pale with fright, and even fainted to death.

Both Bai Shi and Wei Qingwan were pale and panicked, Yun Shi was slightly better.

Old Madam Lu ordered: "Come here! Protect all the ladies and ladies! The rest will pass by as old as they are!"

After all, she has experienced the battlefield. Facing this situation, Mrs. Lu showed a calmness far superior to that of ordinary women.

Wei Ruo quickly recovered from the initial shock, and together with Xiumei and the old lady, they went down to the attic and ran into the school grounds.

On the school grounds, everyone's faces were very ugly. Those who were not affected by the bomb were also as white as paper at this moment, and their eyes were terrified and dull.

Although most of the sons are proficient in riding and archery, they have never really experienced war, and have never seen such a scary scene.

It wasn't until Mrs. Lu arrived with people that everyone had a backbone.

Wei Ruo, who arrived right after Mrs. Lu, treated the injured before everyone else.

Wei Ruo knelt in front of Xu Fengyuan to stop the bleeding for him.

"Miss Wei..." Xu Fengyuan looked at Wei Ruo in front of him in a daze.

This was the first time he was so close to her after being trapped halfway due to heavy snow.

Is he dead? Otherwise why would you see her.

"Don't be afraid, you are fine, but one hand is injured, I will bandage you to stop the bleeding now, you will be fine."

Wei Ruo tore off his skirt neatly and bandaged Xu Fengyuan, while speaking words to comfort Xu Fengyuan.

Xu Fengyuan realized that he was injured. He wondered if it was the body's self-protection mechanism that kept him from feeling too much pain at this moment.

The whole body was numb, and he didn't even realize that his arm was bleeding.

Xu Fengyuan asked Wei Ruo: "Is my arm useless? I can't feel its existence anymore."

"No, your injury is not serious, your arm can be cured." Wei Ruo said.

"You are comforting me, right?" Xu Fengyuan asked.

"No." Wei Ruo said firmly.

At this time, Wei Yichen and Wei Jin also came to Wei Ruo's side.

When the accident happened, Wei Yichen and Wei Jin were far away, so they were not affected.

The two came over almost at the same time, but at this moment Wei Jin also disguised himself as Wang Jin, and Wei Yichen didn't recognize him.

"How is brother Xu?" Wei Yichen's voice trembled slightly, seeing Xu Fengyuan's current appearance, it was difficult for Wei Yichen to calm down.

The scene in front of him was shocking, and Wei Yichen's reaction was much calmer than others.

"Don't worry, he will be fine." Wei Ruo said firmly.

Wei Ruo looked to the side again, and besides Xu Fengyuan, there were seven people lying on the ground, the culprit among them was killed on the spot, and his body was torn apart.

The guards of the Lu Mansion and Qi Zhen's entourage who helped to stop them were also killed on the spot, and the condition of the bodies was also terrible.

Lu Yuhong was also injured, so far no obvious missing arms or legs have been seen, and his face is distorted because of the pain.

The reason why Wei Ruo came to Xu Fengyuan first was because based on her experience, Lu Yuhong's injuries might be less severe.

Qi Zhen is still alive, so roughly speaking, his leg injury should be the most serious. The calf was gone, and the thigh was a **** mess.

The remaining two Wei Ruo didn't know each other, and their injuries were not all serious. One had a disfigured face, and the other had no obvious physical defects, but that doesn't mean his injuries were minor.

Seeing Wei Ruo's actions, Mrs. Lu asked: "Princess Rui, can you treat them?"

Wei Ruodao: "May I ask the old lady to listen to my arrangement."

"Okay, please just tell me!" Mrs. Lu did not hesitate at this moment, she chose to trust Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo began to direct everyone to do things.

Wei Ruoxian said to Mrs. Lu: "Madam, please don't move these people casually, and help them stop the bleeding according to my method. In addition, I need some medicinal materials. I don't have time to tell you about the types of medicines. You can help them now." Bring me all the medicinal materials that can be found in the house."

Chapter 483 Chu Lan doubts Wei Ruo's identity

"Okay." Mrs. Lu did not hesitate, and immediately followed Wei Ruo's instructions.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Ruo said to Wei Jin, "Wang Jin, I still need you to help me collect the stumps, so that no one can take them away or damage them! After finding them, go to the cellar of the Lu Mansion to get some ice cubes to freeze them." Go!"

In this weather, ordinary people do not have ice cubes, but the Lu Mansion is not an ordinary household. There are ice cubes hidden in the cellar of such households for the owner to use.

Wei Jin also complied immediately.

When Chu Lan approached, he happened to see Wei Ruo directing everyone to do things while saving people.

Seeing Wei Ruo's skillful technique, Chu Lan was shocked.

In a trance, the purple figure in front of him began to overlap with the figure in his heart...

Wei Qingruo, Xu Heyou.

Xu Heyou, Wei Qingruo...

them…

Although they have completely different appearances, at this moment, Chu Lan connected the two of them because of his skillful treatment techniques.

In a daze, Chu Lan seemed to find many things in common between the two.

For example, height, figure, and for example, the hands she is pressing on the wounded at the moment...

Wei Ruo's full attention was on treating the wounded, and he didn't notice Chu Lan's eyes looking at her.

At this moment, she doesn't have any extra attention to devote to other things. Any action of her may determine the life and death of Xu Fengyuan, Lu Yuhong and others.

Half an hour later, the simple hemostasis work was completed. Wei Ruo also checked the physical condition of each wounded person, and fixed their bodies to a certain extent.

At this time, Wei Ruo asked the wounded to be carried back.

Then Wei Ruo turned to look at Wei Jinyi, and said, "I'm going back to my residence, can I ask Mr. Xu to treat some people?"

If Wei is seeking Wei Jinyi's opinion, she can no longer continue the follow-up treatment as Princess Rui, but she is not sure whether she can treat the wounded as Xu Heyou.

Wei Ruo can ignore the life and death of the other wounded, but Xu Fengyuan and Lu Yuhong met her once.

"Of course it is possible. I will **** the concubine back to the mansion, and I will send Mr. Xu over at the same time." Wei Jin also replied.

Wei Ruo got up from the ground, and the original bright clothes were now stained with blood, and the hem of the skirt was torn off several pieces, and the hem of the skirt became jagged and shaped like canine teeth.

Because of kneeling for a long time, her legs were a little numb, and Wei Ruo couldn't help but staggered when she just got up.

Wei Jin also immediately reached out to support her.

Wei Ruo was taken aback for a moment, then quickly withdrew her hand and supported Xiumei instead.

Although most of the guests had been sent away by Mrs. Lu, there were still some people left on the scene.

This includes Chu Lan.

Wei Ruo was supported by Xiumei to leave, and passed by Chu Lan.

Wei Ruo felt that Chu Lan's eyes were on him all the time, and the blatant eyes he looked at him made Wei Ruo feel nervous.

"Princess Rui, do you know a young master named Zhu?" Chu Lan suddenly asked Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo stood still, and asked calmly, "Zhu? There shouldn't be any. I know very few men with other surnames. It seems that there are no men with the surname Zhu. If there are, they are probably only seen from a distance."

"Is it?"

"His Royal Highness King Jing, I still have something to do in this palace, so I won't chat with the lord. If the lord has anything to do, you can ask my lord another day."

After finishing speaking, Wei Ruo continued to move forward, without any flaws in his expression and movements.

Wei Ruo didn't show a trace of panic until he left Lu's mansion and boarded the carriage going back.

Just now she was just saving people and forgot that Chu Lan was still there. The reason why Chu Lan asked the question just now was probably because she had discovered the relationship between her and Xu Heyou.

It's just that it's too late to think about it now, so the soldiers can only cover it up.

After the carriage drove for a while, Wei Ruo called Wei Jin also in.

"Wang Jin, come in."

Hearing Wei Ruo's voice, Wei Jin, who was riding a horse, also used Shang Qinggong to jump directly from the horse onto the carriage, and then entered the carriage.

"What do you think of today's events? That thing is a thunderbolt?" Wei Ruo asked Wei Jinyi.

"It should be that the person who made the bomb was Yu Hengqing official secretary Wailang. Two of the thunderbolt bombs you sent to the Anti-Japanese Army were saved and sent back to the Beijing Weapons Camp for research. Yu Heng Qing official secretary Wailang had the opportunity to come into contact with it." Those two Thunderbolts."

"Why did he do such a thing?" Wei Ruo asked again.

"Qi Zhen was very romantic and had an affair with Liang Dong's daughter, but not only did he not marry Ms. Liang's family, but also damaged Ms. Liang's reputation because of this, and finally committed suicide by hanging herself. Mrs. Liang also died of illness due to unbearable blows. gone."

"Qi Zhen was not affected by this?"

"Liang Dong once wanted to sue Qi Zhen, but Qi Zhen is Qi Yansong's son. Liang Dong not only failed Qi Zhen, but was also impeached for it."

"So Liang Dong lost his wife and daughter, and couldn't help Qi Zhen, so he came up with such a way to burn everything together?"

"Based on Liang Dong's own ability, he should not be able to hurt Qi Zhen in the slightest. Normally, he would not have the opportunity to get close to Qi Zhen. Today, the Lu family is celebrating a birthday, and the guests attending the banquet have a small number of attendants, so he has the opportunity to get close. And Even if he gets close in the usual way, he can't hurt Qi Zhen, only this thunderbolt gave him this chance."

Wei Ruo let out a long sigh, not knowing how to evaluate this matter for a while.

So she is also considered an executioner. Without her thunderbolt, what happened today would not have happened.

He didn't kill Boren Boren but died because of her.

After returning to Prince Rui's Mansion, Wei Ruo quickly changed his attire, then took his own medicine box, and set off to Lu's house together with Wei Jinyi and Xiumei again.

When Wei Ruo arrived at Lu's house, the imperial doctor in the palace had already arrived, and Qi Zhen had already been picked up by the Qi family.

Wei Ruo came to Xu Fengyuan's room.

At this moment, the imperial doctors are all in Lu Yuhong's room, and Xu Fengyuan has only an ordinary doctor and several servant girls from Lu's mansion guarding here.

Wei Yichen was also there, he didn't leave, and stayed by Xu Fengyuan's side all the time.

When Wei Ruo brought Wei Jinyi and Xiumei in, he saw Xu Fengyuan's face was dull.

"You don't need to save me, I'm already hopeless." Xu Fengyuan already knew that his right hand was gone.

He is capable of writing and martial arts, but the premise is that he has hands.

If the right hand is gone, he is a useless person.

"How can you not be saved? You are living well now." Wei Ruo said.

"My hands are gone, and I will be a useless person from now on."

"Your hand is still there, Wang Jin picked it up for you." Wei Ruo said.

"What's the use of picking it up, can you find a place to bury it?" Xu Fengyuan smiled wryly.

Wei Ruo didn't answer the question, but asked, "Did the doctor put Mafeisan on your wound just now?"

Xu Fengyuan didn't answer, but stared blankly at the top of the bed.

Chapter 484

Wei Ruo turned to ask the doctor standing beside him.

This doctor is a doctor in Lu's residence, knowing that Wei Ruoruo was sent by Prince Rui's residence, he dared not neglect, so he explained everything in detail.

"You did a good job." Wei Ruo praised.

"This... I didn't do anything, I just cleaned his wound, and then made some sputum." The doctor said.

"This is the best." Wei Ruo said.

The doctor looked bewildered, not knowing why the other party said that.

"Okay, you all go out first." Wei Ruo asked everyone else in the room to leave the room.

The doctor hesitated for a while, and chose to leave considering the identity of the other party.

After no outsiders disturbed him, Wei Ruo started to act.

She first opened the acupuncture bag, took out the silver needles inside, and began to perform acupuncture on Xu Fengyuan.

The first two injections are for Xu Fengyuan's further pain relief.

Although Xu Fengyuan can't feel the pain temporarily due to nerve damage, it doesn't mean he still can't feel it for a while.

"Meme, take off his shirt."

Because Wei Ruo had told people in the Lu Mansion not to move Xu Fengyuan's body at will, Xu Fengyuan was still wearing the clothes when the explosion happened.

Xiumei took off Xu Fengyuan's torn and blood-stained clothes very skillfully, and replaced the sheets under him with the ones they brought.

Then Wei Ruo further administered acupuncture to Xu Fengyuan.

Half an hour later, Xu Fengyuan's body was stabbed with dozens of needles, and Xu Fengyuan lost consciousness and fell into a coma.

Next, she will perform a short limb extension operation for Xu Fengyuan.

Before the operation starts, she needs to disinfect Xu Fengyuan's body.

The alcohol content obtained through repeated distillation can reach more than 70, which can be used for necessary surgical disinfection.

While disinfecting, Wei Ruo asked Wei Jinyi to guard the door of the room to prevent others from disturbing her.

Xiumei stayed behind to help her.

Sewing up the arm is a delicate task. Under the existing conditions, it is extremely difficult to sew up the nerves.

When Wei Ruo was in Huzhou in the early years, he fired a small amount of glass through quartz sand, limestone, etc., and then polished the glass into a convex lens.

Because the magnification of a single convex lens is limited, Wei Ruo superimposed two convex lenses in a small cylinder to make a simple microscope.

Wei Ruo has used this microscope twice before, both when he was helping people to suture wounds in Huzhou Prefecture.

Wei Ruo put this microscope on his right eye. The long cylinder looks a little funny, but it is very good for Wei Ruo.

The other thing is the thread needed for suturing. The thread made of sheep small intestine can be well absorbed by the body and does not need to be removed after suturing.

It's just that the production process is more complicated and locked. Only in the early years when I was in Huzhou Prefecture, I spent a long time making a batch, so Wei Ruo didn't have too many such threads.

And then the lights.

Xiumei lit candles at every angle in the room, put lampshades on them, and closed the doors and windows tightly to allow as much light as possible without shadows or dead spots.

"Miss, why don't you wait until tomorrow day?"

Xiumei found that even so, the lighting conditions were still not optimistic.

"We can't wait anymore, the longer we wait, the less likely he will recover." Wei Ruo said.

Said Wei Ruo took out Xu Fengyuan's arm from the space.

Wei Ruo took the arm with him when he left Lu's house, and Wei Ruo put the arm into his own space on the carriage.

Because her space is the best place to keep fresh, even if there are ice cubes, it is not as good as her space.

Everything is ready and the operation begins.

In the next room.

Lu Yuhong had multiple skin injuries and broken bones, but fortunately, no arms or legs were missing. He was the least injured among several people.

Half an hour ago, the three imperial physicians prescribed medicines for internal and external application to him. Now his condition is stable and his pain has been alleviated.

"How's it going?" Old Master Lu asked several imperial physicians nervously.

"Don't worry, old man, Master Lu is not in danger of life." Xing Jiang, the envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital, replied.

"You have to promise me! This is the only seedling left in my Lu family! If he has something good or bad, my old bone will die!"

Old Master Lu's words frightened several imperial physicians.

Xing Jiang quickly promised: "Don't worry, Mrs. Lu, Young Master Lu is not in danger of life, but the bone is broken and needs to be recuperated for a few days, and some scars may be left on his body."

"It's better as you said!" After speaking, Old Master Lu walked quickly to the bed, looking at his grandson on the bed, his eyes were rosy.

Mrs. Lu said to Xing Jiang and the others: "It's trivial to leave scars on broken bones, as long as people are alive."

"Don't worry, old lady, with Master Lu's physique, he can recover after a few days of cultivation."

"That's good." Mrs. Lu nodded, then forgot to glance at her grandson on the bed, and then said to Xing Jiang and the others, "Please come and see the other injured with me."

Except for Qi Zhen who was picked up by the Qi family, the rest of the wounded are now in the Lu residence.

The three imperial physicians were appointed by the emperor to treat Lu Yuhong. They didn't need to treat the other wounded patients because they didn't have the face to invite the imperial physicians.

But Mrs. Lu still hopes that the imperial physicians can treat other people. After all, what happened in their Lu family, their Lu family has an unshirkable responsibility.

Mrs. Lu has spoken, and the imperial doctors are not easy to refuse.

Mrs. Lu accompanied the three imperial physicians to the door of Xu Fengyuan's room next door, but saw that the doctor and servants who were supposed to be waiting in the room were all at the door.

"What's going on?" Mrs. Lu asked.

"It's Dr. Xu sent by Prince Rui's Mansion. He asked us to wait outside, and he treated Mr. Xu inside." The doctor waiting outside the door explained.

"So that's how it is." Mrs. Lu thought for a while, then turned her head and said to the three imperial physicians, "In that case, let's go and see the other injured first."

The imperial physicians had no objection, and followed Mrs. Lu to treat the other wounded first.

It was two hours after the other wounded were diagnosed and treated.

Everyone returned to the door of Xu Fengyuan's room again, it was still the same as before, the doctor and maid were still standing at the door.

"Isn't Dr. Xu finished yet?" Mrs. Lu couldn't help wondering.

"If you go back to the old lady, you probably haven't. I haven't seen him come out before." The doctor at the door replied.

Madam Lu hesitated a little, it was getting late, and she wondered if it was time for the imperial physicians to treat Xu Fengyuan first.

At this time Xing Jiang spoke: "I don't know what diagnosis and treatment method that Dr. Xu used, it took so long?"

Chapter 485

None of the people standing at the door could answer.

Even Wei Yichen just stood quietly and waited at the moment.

Xing Jiang's eyes fell on Wei Jinyi who was guarding the door.

"Are you from Prince Rui's residence?" Xing Jiang asked.

"Yes." Wei Jin replied with a serious expression.

"May I go in and take a look?" Xing Jiang asked.

"No." Wei Jin also replied.

"Why not?"

"Doctor Xu doesn't like to be disturbed when he practices medicine."

Wei Jinyi's attitude and answer made Xing Jiang displeased.

Originally, the treatment of the other people was not within their responsibility, and they were willing to take action only because of the face of the old lady of the Lu family.

It turned out that this person was so lucky that he actually blocked them from the door.

"I have practiced medicine for many years, and I don't know what kind of diagnosis and treatment methods take so long for trauma patients. Even acupuncture and moxibustion can't take such a long time. It's another matter if it's other internal diseases, but I have never seen the treatment of trauma, nor have several of my colleagues." Xing Jiang said.

After Xing Jiang finished speaking, the other two imperial physicians behind him also nodded in agreement.

The meaning at the moment is very clear, the doctor sent by Prince Rui's residence is probably not messing around with the treatment methods that the envoys of the Grand Hospital don't even know about?

While talking, Xing Jiang said to Mrs. Lu: "Madam, even if Dr. Xu is performing healing techniques, we won't disturb him when we go in now. The old man and others can help me a little bit."

Mrs. Lu was a little hesitant at the moment. The injured person was her grandson's friend, and they were injured in the Lu family. The Lu family was responsible for them.

After thinking for a while, out of consideration for Xu Fengyuan's life safety, Mrs. Lu also said to Wei Jin: "Little brother, get out of the way, let some imperial doctors go in and give Mr. Xu a diagnosis."

Wei Jin is also as immovable as a mountain.

"This little brother?" Madam Lu shouted again.

"Without the orders of Prince Rui and Princess Rui, I will not let anyone enter the room to disturb Doctor Xu." Wei Jin also replied with a blank expression.

Xing Jiang and others did not expect that this person would not even give Mrs. Lu face.

The faces of several people were a little ugly, and Xing Jiang said again: "Old lady, it is important to save people!"

After hesitating for a while, Mrs. Lu gave the order: "Please leave the guard of Prince Rui's residence."

With the order, Mrs. Lu's personal guards came forward, intending to "invite" Wei Jinyi away.

Just as a hand was stretched out in front of Wei Jinyi, Wei Jinyi grabbed the arm, and then shook the person away.

Seeing this, another person stretched out his fist towards Wei Jinyi, and the fist was grasped by Wei Jinyi in front of Wei Jinyi, and then turned 180 degrees, twisting the man's arm away.

The man was in pain, and before he had time to react, he was kicked in the abdomen again, and immediately fell backwards.

Old Madam Lu showed a look of surprise, she knew best how capable her personal guards were, but they were all trained by her and her master, ordinary guards were incomparable.

But they were guarding this place in front of them, and they couldn't even catch a single move.

It was the first time she had seen this person's high martial arts in so many years.

At this time, other guards in the courtyard rushed in one after another, posing for a fight with Wei Jinyi.

"Slow down!" Mrs. Lu called to stop the others.

She didn't want to conflict with the people in Prince Rui's residence, just now she just wanted to pull people away.

But this person is a top expert, it is difficult for the people in the house to invite him away easily, if they do it forcefully, things will get complicated.

"Old lady..." Seeing that the old lady stopped, Xing Jiang wanted to say something else.

Just then, the door opened.

Xiumei, who was dressed as a male servant, said to the people outside: "Doctor Xu has already diagnosed Mr. Xu, please come in, Madam and Imperial Physician."

Hearing this, Xing Jiang was the first to enter the room.

Wei Jinyi did not stop him this time, and followed Xing Jiang into the room.

Wei Ruo had already packed his luggage and was sitting in front of Xu Fengyuan's bed, doing the final dressing for him.

Xu Fengyuan has already woken up, and is staring at his right arm that has been attached.

He still doesn't feel the existence of the right arm, let alone move it, but seeing it there, he feels more comfort in his heart.

And this doctor Xu told him just now that his right arm might be restored, which made him feel a glimmer of hope in the depths of his heart.

After Xing Jiang came in, Wei Ruo stepped aside and let Xing Jiang come forward to feel Xu Fengyuan's pulse.

After Xing Jiang felt the pulse, he found that there was nothing unusual, and then turned to look at Wei Ruo.

"What did Dr. Xu do in this room for so long?" Xing Jiang asked.

"Take the arm." Wei Ruo replied.

At this time, Mrs. Lu, who followed in, noticed something abnormal about Xu Fengyuan.

"Did you reattach his broken arm?" Mrs. Lu had an expression of disbelief on her face.

"Yes." Wei Ruo replied.

Xing Jiang smiled: "Ignorant child! Do you think it will be useful if you sew your arm back together? It's a joke in the world! After you sew it up, the arm will be necrotic and rotten! You should take it off quickly, so as not to affect it. to the rest of his body!"

"My lord is right. If it is a simple suture, the arm must be useless, the blood will not flow, the body will inevitably rot, and the rot will spread to the place where it connects." Wei Ruo replied.

"Do you think it can be used just by connecting blood vessels to this arm?" Xing Jiang said contemptuously.

This ignorant kid doesn't think that no one of them has tried this?

"It's just that the blood vessels are not enough. The tendons and veins must be sutured together, so that it can be cured." Wei Ruo replied.

"Sewing tendons? Are you dreaming?"

"My lord, I know what I said is really difficult. It's normal if you don't believe it, but please give me some time. If Mr. Xu fails to recover, it will be my incompetence." Wei Ruo said.

"But if he suffers from high fever and fainting symptoms because of the broken limb you extended to him, are you willing to bear it?" Xing Jiang asked Wei Ruo.

"I really can't guarantee 100% that his arm will recover after it's installed, but I can guarantee that he won't have more serious problems because of this arm." Wei Ruo replied.

Wei Ruo will of course regularly disinfect and reduce inflammation on his arms, and prescribe medicine to Xu Fengyuan to ensure his body functions normally.

"Absurd, since you are not sure, you shouldn't bet on the patient's life!" Xing Jiang reprimanded.

At this time Xu Fengyuan said: "I am willing to bet."

Xing Jiang looked at him, and warned in a serious tone: "Do you know that after the arm rots, the part of your body that is intact will also rot, and then you will suffer even more, and your life may not be guaranteed!"

Chapter 486 Chu Lan blocked Wei Ruo

"I am willing to gamble." Xu Fengyuan repeated, "My lord, thank you for caring about my body, but even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, I would like to take a gamble."

"Ignorance!" Xing Jiang said.

Mrs. Lu saw this and said: "Master Xing, since Mr. Xu has already made a decision on this matter, we might as well respect his decision."

Once Mrs. Lu opened her mouth, Xing Jiang had no choice but to put down her arrogance.

He said to the old lady: "Old lady, I have something to say first. If this young master has an accident, even if you come to invite me, I will not come to help."

Old Madam Lu glanced at Xu Fengyuan who was on the bed, and seeing his firm expression, she nodded to Xing Jiang: "I know."

Xing Jiang snorted, and left with the other two imperial physicians.

Mrs. Lu said to Wei Ruo: "Doctor Xu, please be more considerate. No matter whether you can restore Mr. Xu's arm, please ensure his life is safe."

"Please rest assured, old lady, I will definitely not put Mr. Xu's life in danger." Wei Ruo promised firmly.

The reason why she can't guarantee that Xu Fengyuan's arm can recover is because of the lack of various conditions. If the conditions are sufficient, she is almost 100% sure.

But to ensure that Xu Fengyuan's life is not in danger, Wei Ruo is still sure to do it.

Old Madam Lu said: "You were sent by Princess Rui. I believe in Princess Rui, so I also trust you."

"Thank you, Madam, for your trust."

"You don't need to thank me, I also hope that Mr. Xu's hand can recover. My grandson said that this Mr. Xu's military skills, if he lost his right hand, it would be worse than taking his life." Mrs. Lu said .

"The grassroots should do their best."

After Mrs. Lu gave a few more instructions, she left the room.

After Mrs. Lu left, Wei Yichen walked in.

"I'll stay and take care of Brother Xu." Wei Yichen said.

Wei Ruo confessed: "I prescribed a prescription for this medicine to be taken every three hours. I will come over tomorrow morning to help him change the externally applied medicine. Before that, don't stop taking the medicine internally. If he has a high fever at night , I immediately used the second prescription I prescribed for him, and at the same time immediately sent someone to Prince Rui's residence to look for me."

"I remember, there is Doctor Lao Xu." Wei Yichen agreed.

Then Wei Ruo looked at Xu Fengyuan and said to him: "Mr. Xu, whether your arm can recover is not only what I can do for you, but also your own mentality is very important. Please believe that you have a chance to recover and maintain an optimistic attitude." , don't feel sorry for yourself."

Xu Fengyuan said: "I see, thank you Doctor Xu. I also ask Doctor Xu to thank Princess Rui for me, she has taken care of me."

"Okay." Wei Ruo agreed.

After explaining the matter to Xu Fengyuan, Wei Ruo then went to visit Lu Yuhong in the next room.

Wei Ruo had checked Lu Yuhong's pulse before and knew that Lu Yuhong's injury was not serious, and he could recover with normal treatment.

But just to be on the safe side, Wei Ruo still planned to visit again, just in case those imperial physicians gave Lu Yuhong some inappropriate diagnosis and treatment just now.

In Lu Yuhong's room, Mrs. Lu was guarding by the bedside.

The white-haired old man looked helpless and hesitant at this moment.

Wei Ruo bowed to Mrs. Lu, revealing his identity and purpose of coming.

Old Master Lu nodded slowly, and then asked Wei Ruo to take Lu Yuhong's pulse.

After taking the pulse, Wei Ruo sniffed the medicine bowl next to him which had already been used up.

There is no big problem with this prescription, except that it is used very conservatively. With this medicine, Lu Yuhong's injury will heal a little slower. It is not the best prescription, but the advantage is that the pain will be reduced.

Wei Ruo probably guessed the reason why the Imperial Hospital prescribed this medicine, so he didn't say much, but said that Lu Yuhong was in good condition and could just take the medicine and recuperate.

After finishing what he could do tonight, Wei Ruo was about to leave the Lu residence.

Wei Ruo, Wei Jinyi, and Xiumei came out of Lu Mansion together, and their carriage stopped at the southeast side gate of Lu Mansion.

Wei Ruo was about to return to the carriage when suddenly a figure walked by.

It was late at night, a crescent moon hung high in the sky, and the moonlight and stars were faint.

The lanterns lit by the entourage illuminate the faces of the visitors.

Wei Ruo took a closer look, but saw the person she least expected to see—Chu Lan.

"Master Xu, we meet again." Chu Lan was dressed the same as Bai Ri, but his eyes looking at Wei Ruo were a little sharper.

"Cao Min has seen the prince." Wei Ruo saluted Chu Lan.

"Princess Rui is a princess, so you don't have to give me such a big gift." Chu Lan interrupted.

"Why did the lord make such a statement, the grassroots don't understand." Wei Ruo replied.

"How long are you going to pretend until now?" Chu Lan asked, staring at Wei Ruo, as if to see through her.

"Caomin doesn't understand what the lord is talking about? Caomin is a man, how could he be Princess Rui?" Wei Ruo replied.

"You are very similar to Princess Rui in body shape." Chu Lan stated.

"My lord, there are similarities between people. I am indeed shorter than men, but I can't doubt that I am a woman."

"If you listen carefully, your voice is somewhat similar to that of Princess Rui." Chu Lan said again.

"I am still young, I have a childish voice, and my voice is slightly like a woman's. It is possible that the prince sounds somewhat similar to a woman. The resemblance to Princess Rui is just a coincidence. Princess Rui's voice is not considered among women. Special." Wei Ruo explained again.

"The person next to you is Wang Jin, the guard next to Wei Qingruo. This king has had an encounter with him before." Chu Lan said.

"My lord, Cao Min is currently working in Prince Rui's residence, so what's the problem with Princess Rui's **** accompanying his subordinates to travel together?"

"When saving people today, Princess Rui's medical skills are not bad, very similar to yours." Chu Lan said again.

"My lord is really joking. There are many people who know how to treat medicine. Princess Rui once lived in the countryside and learned some medicine skills from a reclusive old woman."

Facing the doubts raised by Chu Lan, Wei Ruo refuted them one by one.

"I heard that there is a kind of quackery, which can make a mask that looks like a human face and attach it to the face, thereby changing the appearance of a person. Do you dare to let this king touch your face to argue the truth?" Chu Lan said.

"I have never heard of the quack tricks that the prince said, please don't embarrass me." Wei Ruo said.

"If you want me not to embarrass you, just prove it to me, or are you guilty?" Chu Lan asked.

The more Wei Ruo refused, the more determined Chu Lan was about the relationship between Xu Heyou and Wei Ruo.

His eyes are like a falcon, even in the dark, he can firmly lock his prey.

Looking at his aura, it seems that if Wei Ruo doesn't promise him today, he won't give up.

At this moment, a pair of slender hands lifted the curtain of the carriage, and a luxuriously dressed woman poked her head out inside.

Chapter 487

"Doctor Xu, what happened today?"

Hearing the sound, Chu Lan and Wei Ruo looked at the carriage together.

But he saw that the face of the person sticking out his head was clearly Wei Qingruo's appearance.

Chu Lan's gaze sank.

If Xu Heyou is Wei Qingruo, then now Xu Heyou is in front of Chu Lan, who is the woman in the carriage?

Wei Ruo walked to the front of the car, bowed to the woman in the car, and said, "Reporting to the princess, Mr. Xu has been diagnosed and treated. At present, Mr. Lu, Mr. Xu and other people affected today are all out of danger."

"That's good. It's getting late, Mr. Xu should go back home early, there are still many things to be busy tomorrow."

"Yes." Wei Ruo said.

Wei Ruo turned around and was about to take a step when Chu Lan stopped Wei Ruo.

Almost at the same time, Wei Jin also stepped forward to block Wei Ruo.

Facing Wei Jinyi's eyes, Chu Lan once again felt the chilling aura from this ordinary-looking guard.

"Prince Jing, please move." Wei Jinyi's voice was not loud, but it was full of pressure.

Chu Lan didn't move immediately, he stared at Wei Ruo, his eyes were equally sharp, and there seemed to be sparks flickering at the intersection of their eyes.

At this moment, it seemed that the surrounding air became thinner.

Wei Ruo's heart was raised. If Chu Lan refused to give in, then a conflict would be inevitable.

Xiumei also clenched her fists nervously. King Jing is difficult to deal with. If there is a fight, she has to protect her young lady!

After a while, Chu Lan made a move.

He took a step back, making way for Wei Jinyi and Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, the time just passed not long ago, but a minute or two, it just feels like an hour or two.

Then Wei Ruo got on the horse in front of Chu Lan, and his movements were neat.

Chu Lan looked at Wei Ruo and didn't stop him.

Then Wei Ruo pinched the sitting horse with his legs, and the horse moved and left with the large army.

Chu Lan stood on the spot and watched the team of Prince Rui's Mansion go away.

Until the team at Prince Rui's Mansion disappeared, Chu Lan did not leave either.

The scene just now could not completely convince him, he still had doubts about the identities of Wei Qingruo and Xu Heyou.

Since Wei Qingruo may have a disguise expert around her to change her appearance into Xu Heyou, it is also possible to disguise other people as Wei Qingruo to confuse the public.

Even he can doubt the attendant named Wang Jin.

It's just the situation just now, it's pointless for him to ask further questions.

That person named Wang Jin will not let him meet Xu Heyou, if he does that forcefully, this matter will turn into a conflict between Prince Jing's residence and Prince Rui's residence.

And now he doesn't know whether he really wants Xu Heyou to be Wei Qingruo.

If so, there seems to be a reasonable explanation for many things related to Xu Heyou, and at the same time, the incomprehensible emotion that has lingered in his heart for a long time has also found a breakthrough.

But if that is the case, she is already Princess Rui, and she seems to be willing to stay by Chu Yi's side...

Wei Ruo and his party returned to Prince Rui's Mansion, and after closing the door, Wei Ruo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief again.

Then turned to thank Lin Fang: "Thank you, Sister Lin."

Lin Fang tore off the mask on his face: "Miss, you don't need to thank me, this is what the master told me. Before the eldest miss went out for the second time today, the master specially explained to his subordinates."

Hearing this, Wei Ruo looked at Wei Jinyi.

Wei Jin also had no words.

Although he didn't speak, Wei Ruo could really feel his concern.

Wei Ruo turned back and said to Lin Fang: "Sister Lin's craftsmanship is really good, she can make a mask exactly like mine in such a short period of time."

"It's not exactly the same. It's easy to make a mask according to the original face of the wearer. It's easy to change the original face and create a new one, but it's very difficult to make it the same as others. Yes. Because everyone's bones are different, for example, it is impossible for a square-faced person to change into an oval-faced person through disguise."

"Today is just at night, and the light is not clear, so you can distinguish the fake from the real one. If you get closer during the day, you can tell the difference between the mask I made and the lady's real face. Let alone me and the lady. There is still a difference in Miss's figure, today I am hiding in the carriage, and I can only hide it if I poke my head out."

Lin Fang explained.

"So that's the case, but no matter what, Sister Lin's disguise technique is very good, and the voice that imitated me just now is 70% to 80% similar. It's really amazing." Wei Ruo praised.

Sound imitation is another skill of Lin Fang.

She can imitate the voices of many people, so as to make it look like the real one.

And Chu Lan had no interest in Wei Qingruo, Miss Wei's family before. Although he had some contacts, there were very few conversations between the two, so he could not distinguish Wei Ruo's own voice from Lin Fang's pretending Wei Qingruo. Ruo's voice.

"It's the master who has the foresight to make arrangements early so that the subordinates can be useful." Lin Fang glanced at Wei Jinyi cautiously.

It doesn't matter if she doesn't get compliments from the eldest lady, what's important is that the eldest miss can understand the care of the master.

Wei Jin also didn't say anything about this matter, he said to Wei Ruo: "It's getting late, let's go to rest earlier, we still have to be busy tomorrow."

After speaking, Lin Fang and Xiumei sent Wei Ruo back to the room to rest.

Xing Jiang went to Qi's house after leaving Lu's house.

The palace also sent imperial physicians to the Qi family tonight, because Qi Zhen's condition was more serious than Lu Yuhong's, and several imperial physicians dared not leave.

Xing Jiang rushed to discuss countermeasures with other imperial physicians.

Qi Zhen's injury was much more serious than Lu Yuhong's. Not only did he have a lot of burns and damage on the surface of his body, but he also had fractures and internal injuries. In addition, his left leg was blown away below the knee.

If this was left in an ordinary family, it would be dead.

The Qi family can not only hire an imperial doctor, but also provide him with the best medicinal materials.

This time seven of the eight imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital were dispatched, three went to the Lu family, four went to the Qi family, and only one was left to sit in the Imperial Hospital.

When Xing Jiang arrived at Qi's house, Qi Zhen's condition had not been completely controlled, and the fever had not subsided.

Seven imperial physicians gathered in the outbuilding of Qi Zhen's bedroom and began to discuss Qi Zhen's treatment plan.

Qi Zhen's father, Qi Yansong, the chief assistant of the court, had a majestic face and piercing eyes.

His gray hair, obvious wrinkles, can hardly conceal the vicissitudes of the years.

He is over fifty years old and has experienced half his life. Sitting in his current position, he has a lot of means.

The imperial physicians were trembling, for fear that Master Qi would be angry.

"How is it? Can my son survive?" Qi Yansong's voice was as cold as the cold wind.

Chapter 488

Several imperial physicians looked at each other and asked Xing Jiang to reply as a representative.

Xing Jiang reported to Qi Yansong: "Reporting to Master Qi, the situation of the third son is more complicated and serious, and we need to observe for two more days to confirm whether he can survive the dangerous period."

"You mean my son's life is in danger?" Qi Yansong's body was surrounded by three feet of ice.

Xing Jiang couldn't help but flinch, but he could only stick to his answer: "It looks like this at present."

"Boom—"

Qi Yansong slapped the table heavily with his palm.

Several imperial physicians were terrified, and each of them lowered their heads even lower.

"If my son can't live, then I will let you quack doctors bury him with him! Even if you are imperial doctors, I can still take your lives!"

If someone else said this, the imperial physicians would not believe it. They are officials ordered by the imperial court and imperial doctors who directly serve the royal family. They have a high status and status, and they cannot be killed by just anyone if they want to.

But Master Qi said the words, so they had to believe it.

"My lord, please rest assured, we will make Mr. Qi survive!" Xing Jiang assured.

"It better be so!"

Qi Yansong flicked his sleeves, then went back to the inner room, he was going to look at his son.

After Qi Yansong left, his colleagues asked Xing Jiang in a low voice: "Master Xing, we can't guarantee that Mr. Qi San will survive! What if..."

Xing Jiangdao: "If the third son of Qi dies, Lord Qi will definitely punish us severely. It doesn't matter whether we can promise to save Young Master Qi now. It's better to promise first, so that Lord Qi can rest assured, at least for now. There is a way to survive."

Xing Jiang's analysis is very reasonable, and the others have nothing to say.

Zhongyi Bofu.

The Wei family who used to go to bed early not only did not fall asleep at the moment, but all gathered in Shou'an Hall.

Yun Shi and Bai Shi told the old lady what happened in Lu Mansion today.

Wei Qingwan stood behind, her face pale.

Today's scene really frightened her, it was the first time in her life that she saw such a cruel scene.

What's more, one of the seriously injured people was the young master Qi she was familiar with!

She and Mr. Qi were forced to separate. Although she was ready to be King Yu's side concubine, she still had Mr. Qi in her heart.

Seeing the miserable state of her former lover, Wei Qingwan couldn't calm down for a long time.

So much so that she didn't listen to a single word of the conversation of the elders of the Wei family.

After listening to Yun's and Bai's statements, Mrs. Wei sighed: "I didn't expect such a big event to happen today. The Qi family and the Lu family are the two most important families in the court today. The Lu family is a military force and is the emperor's right-hand man. Now that these two families have an accident together, I am afraid it will have a great impact on the entire court."

Wei Mingyong asked: "Mother, the third son of Qi is the only remaining son of Master Qi. If he has a good or bad thing, wouldn't the Qi family be extinct..."

"Don't talk nonsense, just know some things in your heart, don't say them out of your mouth, be careful, there are ears behind walls." Mrs. Wei urged.

Wei Mingyong quickly said yes.

Wei Minghong asked: "Father, mother, will these things cause disagreements between the Qi family and the Lu family?"

Mrs. Lu analyzed: "It's hard to say, the matter happened in the Lu family, the Qi family did have reasons to blame the Lu family for not being in place in defense, but the matter started because of the third son of the Qi family, and the Lu family also had reasons to blame the Qi family. "

"In this case, we have to tell Yichen to come back from the Lu family quickly, and stop getting so close to the people of the Lu family." Wei Mingyong said hastily.

"What are you talking nonsense again?" Mrs. Lu scolded.

"Mother, I'm not talking nonsense. Our family wants to get on good terms with Master Qi. If Master Qi is really at odds with the Lu family and we still have contacts with the Lu family, Master Qi will be unhappy." Wei Mingyong explained road.

"Yes, mother, the second master is right. Now Wanwan is going to be the side concubine of His Royal Highness King Yu, we can't hold her back!" Bai Shi quickly agreed.

"The two of you are already planning to place all your bets on King Yu and the Qi family? Why don't you leave yourself any way out?" Mrs. Lu asked.

"Mother, isn't this an obvious thing? What is there to choose? Anyone with a discerning eye knows that more than half of the people in the court support His Royal Highness Yu Wang, and the emperor also likes His Royal Highness Yu Wang very much. King Jing is talented but not Backstage, besides His Royal Highness King Yu, who else can this country belong to?"

Wei Ming speaks boldly, as if he already knew the outcome of this battle for reserves.

Old Mrs. Lu said: "Although King Yu is indeed the most likely prince, you can't make things too full. After all, the Lu family is not easy to offend. Let's wait and see what happens. As for Yi Chen's child, he Staying at the Lu family is to take care of his classmate Mr. Xu's family, not for Mr. Lu's family, so there is nothing to worry about."

Old Master Lu has said so, and Wei Mingyong and his wife have nothing to say.

Then Mrs. Lu asked Yun: "Just now you said that child Ruo'er and Mrs. Lu treated the wounded after the explosion. When did that child learn medical skills?"

This question overwhelmed Yun Shi, and she didn't know how to answer it for a while.

Mrs. Bai added from the side: "That's right, third brother and sister, tell us, why did Ruo'er learn medical skills? Also, when did she help Mr. Lu's life? And who is her friend who can send her thyme and rare and exquisite cloth?"

"I don't know." Yun replied after thinking for a while.

"Why don't you know? Ruo'er is your biological daughter!" Bai asked.

"The child Ruo'er has lived in the countryside of Huzhou Prefecture for thirteen years. I don't know what she did during those thirteen years. When they sent people to understand the situation with the He family, they only said that Ruo'er was not in good health and sent her to the hospital. I have cultivated in the countryside." Yun replied with her head lowered in a low voice.

"It seems that our eldest girl is very capable. She said that she went to the countryside to cultivate, but she has learned a lot of skills. The most important thing is that she has these skills but she didn't tell the third sibling about you, my mother." Bai's There was obvious sarcasm in his tone.

What Wei Ruo hid from them was not only medical skills.

At the Lu family today, there were many things about Wei Ruo that surprised them.

Mr. Yun knew that Mrs. Bai was making fun of her, but she had no way to refute it. She seemed to know very little about Ruoer.

Old Master Lu asked Yun in a reproachful tone, "If Er is your own daughter, you, a mother, should be the clearest about her affairs, especially the things that the second daughter-in-law said just now, one by one. It's not a trivial matter, why didn't you understand it clearly in advance?"

Chapter 489 Is she an incompetent mother?

Old Master Lu thought, if he knew about those things in advance, he might be able to help the Wei family.

Yun felt uncomfortable being asked, and said in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law is negligent."

Old Master Lu blamed: "I thought you were a clear-cut man, and you have failed my trust in you!"

Yun could only bow his head and admit his mistake: "It's my daughter-in-law's fault."

Bai sneered in her heart that she couldn't get used to Yun for a long time. In the past, she was blamed by her parents for being praised by Yun, but now it was finally Yun's turn to be blamed by her parents.

Seeing this, Old Madam Lu smoothed things over and said: "Forget it, don't blame the third daughter-in-law, the matter has come to this point, it's useless to talk too much, it's always a good thing if the child has some skills to be around, maybe it's fate, then His Highness Prince Rui Suffering from a serious illness, she knows medical skills, maybe they are a match made in heaven."

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Lu said to the crowd: "It's very late today, everyone must be tired after going through so many things. Since this is the case, let's call it a day. Everyone go back to their rooms to rest. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

After the old lady spoke, everyone left one after another.

Mr. Yun walked out of Shou'an Hall with a heavy heart.

Along the way, the old man's questioning sound echoed in her mind over and over again.

Was she really so negligent that she knew very little about her biological daughter?

Is she an incompetent mother?

How many things does her biological daughter keep from her?

Then Yun couldn't help thinking of the scene where her daughter rescued the wounded today, which made her feel that her husband was right when he said that her daughter was like him.

Mr. Yun was thinking while walking, but her pace involuntarily slowed down.

Bai and Wei Qingwan came up together, seeing Yun's thoughtful appearance, Bai said to Yun:

"Third siblings, I think you should go to Princess Rui to visit our Princess Rui if you have time, and ask her how many things she has kept from us. The Wei family is her natal family, and we share weal and woe with her. She needs help, she guards against us like a thief, what good will it do her?"

Bai's tone was obviously ridiculed.

Yun said coldly: "Second sister-in-law is worrying too much. Ruo'er just knows some medical skills and knows some friends, so it won't be said that she is guarding against her mother's family."

Bai said: "I don't care, but I'm afraid that she will rely on her own ability and go around everywhere. If she knows a little bit of medical skills, she will treat people everywhere. If the doctor does something good or bad, it will hurt our Wei family. When the time comes, our Wei family will take care of her." I didn't take advantage of her, but I still have to suffer from her."

"Second sister-in-law don't worry, I believe that Ruo'er is a person who understands the importance and will not mess around like what the second sister-in-law said. Besides, if anything happens to my daughter, her father and I will be involved, and the second brother and second sister-in-law will not be involved. came from me."

Yunshi replied, and after speaking, his eyes fell on Wei Qingwan who was beside Baishi.

"Wanwan, follow me to Anxin Garden." Yun said.

Wei Qingwan didn't move, but replied in a low voice: "Mother, it's late today, you and I are tired, why don't you go to bed earlier, An Xinyuan's daughter will go to another day."

"You don't want to go?"

"Mother, my daughter said that she is tired, so I will go to mother's place another day." Wei Qingwan explained.

"Okay, okay!" Yun smiled mockingly and pitifully.

Then she quickened her pace and left without looking back.

Bai showed a satisfied smile, and then turned around to comfort Wei Qingwan: "Wanwan, Second Auntie will send you back to rest. You must have been frightened by such a terrible thing that happened today? Your mother really What's more, you have to let her talk at any time."

"Well, thank you, Second Aunt, for your understanding."

Wei Qingwan responded gratefully, and then returned to the residence accompanied by Mrs. Bai.

Time has come to June in a flash.

The weather is getting hotter, but it doesn't have the feeling of heat after summer. The weather is like in spring.

This kind of weather is a good thing for those who are not tolerant to the heat, but I am afraid that in summer it will be extremely cold in winter.

Wei Ruo learned from Wei Jinyi that the emperor specially summoned the Qi and Lu families a few days ago, intending to ease the relationship between the two families. He hoped that the two families would understand that the explosion was an accident, and that the two families would not blame each other.

Qi Yansong and Mrs. Lu didn't say anything on the spot, but judging from their performance afterwards, the emperor's summoning didn't have much effect.

Xu Fengyuan has been living in the Lu Mansion these days, and has received meticulous care from the whole Lu Mansion.

The people who took care of him the most were Wei Yichen and Wei Ruo.

Wei Yichen came to visit him almost every day, and he did everything a friend could do.

Another person who reported to work almost every day was Wei Ruo, dressed as Xu Heyou.

Although she knew that she was likely to meet Chu Lan again, since she started to save Xu Fengyuan, she had no reason to back down halfway.

Fortunately, Chu Lan didn't show up again these days, and he was a busy man, so he wouldn't keep staring at her, the so-called lifesaver, all day long.

After half a month of recuperation, Xu Fengyuan's physical condition is much better than before. Although the arm taken back by Wei Ruo can't move yet, it doesn't appear the rotten condition that Doctor Xing said before. It seems that Blood is already flowing normally between the arms and torso.

Lu Yuhong was able to get out of bed and walk around. Even though Mrs. Lu still wanted him to continue recuperating in bed, Lu Yuhong couldn't hold back his temper and wanted to get up and move around.

Finally, Old Master Lu only allowed him to go to the next room and talk to Xu Fengyuan.

The two comfort each other and encourage each other, which is also good for their recovery.

Wei Ruo also sent Lu Yuhong scar-removing ointment, and asked Lu Yuhong to start using it after the scab fell off. The sooner you use it, the better the effect.

Lu Yuhong didn't really care about the scars on his body, he even thought that a real man should have some scars, but he thought that the ointment was given by Wei Ruo, so he didn't want to let her down, so he obediently used it.

At the same time, on the Qi family's side, Qi Yu has also been out of danger, and his health is improving.

It's just that his skin was seriously injured, and one leg was missing, so he looked a little creepy.

Qi Yansong felt sorry for his son's appearance.

Since his life was saved and his consciousness was restored, Qi Yansong summoned the two imperial physicians who were in his house today to his study, and asked them to restore Qi Zhen's appearance, preferably including his legs.

"Returning to Mr. Qi, we can indeed remove some of Mr. Qi's scars and restore him to 70% to 80%. But this leg... we really have no other way." Xing Jiang replied.

"Is there really no other way, or are you incompetent?" Qi Yansong asked.

Chapter 490 Recent Arrangements

"If you go back to Master Qi, there is really no other way!" Xing Jiang said firmly.

"Okay, if I hear that there are other ways to heal my son's legs, I will let you go around!" Qi Yansong didn't care about his incompetence, but it was a mistake.

Xing Jiang thought for a while and said: "My lord, if someone speaks nonsense, with no evidence, and says that there is a way to restore Mr. Qi's leg as soon as he touches the lip, please don't believe it casually. Whether it can really be cured, you have to see it." As a matter of fact, only those who can really cure people are counted."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Before, I met a man at the gate of Prince Rui's Mansion at the Lu family, and tried to use the method of splicing the severed limbs to restore them to their original state, but we all know that this is not feasible. It is very likely that the rotting infection will affect the body, causing high fever in the body and endangering life!"

"These quacks are always deceiving people. They talk about the hype but they don't actually do the same thing. If you believe their words, it will easily lead to disaster."

Xing Jiang said this to prevent Qi Yansong from mistakenly believing some rumors to be true when he heard some rumors. When the time comes, he will use the words of those quack doctors to hold them accountable.

"You don't need to teach me these things yet." Qi Yansong didn't want to hear such nonsense.

He only wants his son to recover as much as possible, and whoever can heal his son will let him enjoy both fame and fortune.

He sits in the current position of less than one person and more than ten thousand people, and earned such a family fortune for the Qi family. If there is no descendant to inherit it, wouldn't it be a waste of work?

Qi Yansong continued: "Retire first, these days I have to trouble you to continue to take good care of my son, as long as you do your best to take care of me, I will be very grateful."

"Thank you, sir." Xing Jiang led his colleagues out of the study.

In addition to going to Lu Mansion to treat Xu Fengyuan's illness these days, Wei Ruo is busy with her business and property the rest of the time.

For the matter of the cotton field, she made Shi Dayou make three trips, and Xiumei made one trip.

After Xiumei visited, Wei Ruo settled down and bought all the land west of Xiandong Village in Hejian Prefecture.

Flat land, although it is an inferior field, is not suitable for growing rice and wheat, but because the land is flat, there is no shelter, the sunlight time is guaranteed, and the soil is deep and rooted, it is quite suitable for growing cotton.

Of course, the work of turning the soil and fertilizing before planting is still indispensable, and we cannot save this effort just because we are planting cotton.

Because it was getting late, Wei Ruo hurriedly arranged for people to renovate and fertilize the land before planting.

In May and June, the sowing time is a bit late for ordinary cotton, and it will usually be planted in April. Planting in the month instead avoids the warm and cold period of the previous period, avoiding the freezing of new seedlings.

According to the excellent characteristics of the space cotton species, Wei Ruo is still confident that it will be planted well at this time.

In addition, I am still busy with the opening of the Beijing Sibaozhai branch and the lo-mei shop.

The shop has been selected, and the decoration is almost done. If it is supplied, Daegu brother can be shipped by water along with the raw materials of cloth and rouge powder.

Now Wei Ruo needs to choose a few more reliable and shrewd helpers to look after the shop.

Most of the villagers from Stone Village are simple and willing to work. It is no problem to help with the work, but it is still not okay to let them be the shopkeepers in the shop.

Shi Dayou already has other arrangements.

There is also the fabric. In the past few days, Lao Tao has helped her transport a batch of newly woven materials from Huzhou Prefecture by land. Some of them will be sold to Sun Sanniang in Caiyunjian as usual, and the rest will be kept in the warehouse for the time being. .

Sun Sanniang was surprised that Wei Ruo didn't increase the price of this batch of ingredients sold to Sun Sanniang. She thought that Wei Ruo would sit on the ground and raise the price. Unexpectedly, Wei Ruo had a tough attitude when negotiating the price with her for the first time, but he would not increase the price at will in the future. Sun Sanniang couldn't help giving Wei Ruo a high opinion, and said that she wanted to make Wei Ruo a friend.

The purple material that Wei Ruo promised to sell to several noble ladies has also arrived. There are more than 20 pieces of material, but Wei Ruo only plans to sell ten pieces.

The reason why purple is valuable and popular is because of its scarcity. If she sells a lot of it, it will be worthless.

The materials that Wei Ruo sells to Cai Yunjian are all cotton cloth, and Wei Ruo holds all the purple silk products in his own hands, in order to ensure the price of this material.

When the purple is almost sold out, Wei Ruo will start selling other colors.

In the past few days, good news has come from the south, that is, her new rice seeds have been promoted and planted throughout the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, and now the green seedlings growing in the fields are all her rice seeds.

Firstly, the production of rice seeds was seen by local governments, and secondly, Yuan Zhengqin did a good job in promoting it, and he did not hesitate to subsidize it so that the common people could grow it. Other governments saw it and followed suit.

Wei Ruo's land is still planted according to last year's planting plan. Only the land where taro was planted before was replanted with rice this year, and part of the paddy fields that were planted with rice last year were replanted with taro this year.

This was planned by Wei Ruo before, in order to improve the fertility of the soil and reduce the pressure of artificial fertilization by using the method of alternate planting.

As for the newly harvested winter wheat, except for the taxes to be paid and the rewards for long-term workers, Wei Ruo would not allow them to be sold. Prepare for the famine that may come later.

June thirty.

After more than a month of training, Xu Fengyuan's arm has moved. Although he can't be as flexible as before the accident, at least his arm can be used.

Wei Ruo told Xu Fengyuan that because this is his own arm, as long as he recovers well in the later stage, his arm can fully recover to the state before the injury. Of course, it is still not recommended to do heavy physical work, so that the arm bears too much weight.

Xu Fengyuan was very happy. As long as he could write with a pen, he would be satisfied.

Xu Fengyuan lay on the bed, staring at Wei Ruo who was sitting on the head of the bed, eyes full of gratitude.

"Doctor Xu, thank you so much, you are my reborn parents!"

Wei Ruo joked: "Mr. Xu, I am younger than you, but I can't give birth to a child as old as you."

Xu Fengyuan laughed, and then said: "It's great to have a genius doctor like you in the palace. Prince Rui is saved."

"You care about Prince Rui very much?" Wei Ruo asked.

"Actually, I still had some complaints about him in my heart." Xu Fengyuan said.

"You blame him?" Wei Ruo was a little puzzled and surprised.

Chapter 491 Qi Yansong Seeks to See Xu Heyou

"That's right. Speaking of which, our Xu family and Lord Rui's maternal grandfather's family are somewhat related, but they are far away, so our family was not implicated in Xu Guogong's case back then. But my grandfather and the others still treat Xu Guogong I respect him very much, I don't say anything to the outside world, but I still regard myself as an old man of Xu Guogong in my heart."

In the past, Xu Fengyuan never dared to mention these words to the outside world. Now that Xu Guogong's case has been overturned, so these words can be said.

"So, even if you don't have feelings for Prince Rui, you shouldn't complain?" Wei Ruo asked puzzled.

Xu Fengyuan smiled wryly and said: "Doctor Xu doesn't know, I was going to propose marriage to the eldest girl of the Wei family, but it was destroyed by His Royal Highness Prince Rui."

"He ruined your marriage with Princess Rui?"

"Yes." Xu Fengyuan lay on the bed, looking at the top of the bed, with a bitter smile on his face.

He slowly added: "Back then he hadn't officially resumed his status as the Ninth Prince, but all of Xu Guogong's old friends already knew about it. I don't know what he said to my grandfather. My grandfather changed his words and said nothing. I continued to discuss marriage with Miss Wei."

"At that time, I didn't know the reason. I only knew that the elders' orders must not be violated. I didn't know until after Prince Rui's wedding that I missed the wedding with Princess Rui because of this reason... I have always fallen in love with her. , I will regard her as a treasure, but now... how can I not blame him?"

"It's strange to say that Princess Rui, whom Prince Rui met at some time, actually started to arrange the layout early."

Wei Ruo was surprised.

It turned out that the marriage between her and Mr. Xu was destroyed by the second brother at that time!

But why?

Did the second brother plan to marry her by himself?

After Xu Fengyuan finished speaking, he found that Dr. Xu beside him had not spoken for a long time, so he turned his head.

"Doctor Xu, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah, it's okay." Wei Ruo came back to his senses, "I just feel a little novel."

"Didn't you know about this before?"

"I have no idea."

Second brother never mentioned this matter to her, so she naturally wouldn't think about it.

Xu Fengyuan thought for a while, and quickly added: "Doctor Xu, don't misunderstand me. It is my wishful thinking to fall in love with Princess Rui. It has nothing to do with Princess Rui. She has never expressed anything to me, and she has never even looked at me much." At first glance, she is a good girl who obeys the rules."

Xu Fengyuan was worried that what he said just now would cause misunderstandings, making people think that Wei Ruo was not a woman, so he immediately explained.

"It's okay, I won't misunderstand." Wei Ruo said.

She doesn't have the slightest affection for Mr. Xu's family, but Wei Ruo is still a little grateful to hear that he defends his reputation so much.

Lu Yuhong, who was not seriously injured, was already alive and well after this period of rest and recuperation. He even wanted to pick up a sword to make a gesture, but was pushed back by the old man.

As the saying goes: Lu Yuhong also broke his ribs after being injured for a hundred days. How could he get up and jump around in just a month?

Lu Yuhong had no choice but to ask a carpenter to make a wheelchair for him. He sat on the chair and was pushed around by his servants to relieve boredom.

Lu Yuhong also asked someone to sit for Xu Fengyuan, so that he would have a companion.

Not satisfied with just wandering around in the mansion, Lu Yuhong asked the guards in the mansion to take him and Xu Fengyuan outside for a while.

Grandpa Lu also reluctantly agreed, he was afraid that his grandson would be overwhelmed and make a fuss, but luckily he arranged it himself, and after doing enough work to ensure the safety of his grandson, he let him go out for a walk.

Lu Yuhong and Xu Fengyuan didn't go to crowded places this trip, but the news of their recovery quickly spread.

The news reached Qi Yansong's ears.

Knowing that Xu Fengyuan's hand has recovered, Qi Yansong summoned Xing Jiang and others to question him.

Learning that Xu Fengyuan's arm had recovered, Xing Jiang and others were stunned.

"How is this possible?" Xing Jiang expressed disbelief all over his face.

"The surname Xu went out to relax. Everyone saw it with their own eyes. You still ask me if it's possible?"

"Master Qi... this matter... may be something tricky."

"What else can be tricky? The surname Xu can pick up a teacup! You quack doctor!"

Xing Jiang was so frightened that he knelt down and pleaded guilty to Qi Yansong.

"My lord, calm down, I will definitely find out what happened as soon as possible, and give my lord an explanation!"

"I don't need you anymore! I will send someone to investigate clearly!"

Qi Yansong has been disappointed with these people so far. How many people does he want to treat his son? If it is an investigation, why does he need the help of these people in front of him?

After reprimanding several people, Qi Yansong summoned his subordinates to further investigate the matter.

Not long after, Qi Yansong got a reply.

"My lord, I heard that the doctor who cured the hand surnamed Xu is from Prince Rui's residence..."

"Prince Rui's Mansion...that's a difficult place." No matter how arrogant Qi Yansong was, he would not dare to directly offend Prince Rui's Mansion.

After thinking about it, Qi Yansong decided: "Help me hand over the greeting card to Prince Rui's residence, and I will invite it in person."

An hour later.

Wei Jin also looked at the greeting card in his hand, and ordered someone to send the greeting card to Wei Ruo.

Not long after, Qi Yansong's greeting card arrived in Wei Ruo's hands.

The Wei family tried their best to send the invitation to Qi Yansong, but it has not been realized so far. Now Qi Yansong has passed the invitation to her.

"Miss, what is this?" Xiumei asked.

"A greeting note from Mr. Shoufu."

"What does Master Shoufu want to do?"

"He wants to see me, to be precise, he wants to see Xu Heyou."

"Then what should we do? Do you want to see Miss?" Xiumei asked hastily.

"I can't make a decision on this matter, I have to ask the prince."

Wei Ruo naturally didn't want to see him, but he had to consider the overall situation, Qi Yansong was not an ordinary person, if her refusal would cause trouble, then Wei Ruo still had to see him for the sake of Prince Rui's residence.

So Wei Ruo took the greeting card and went to the front yard.

Pushing open the door, Wei Jin was also sitting in front of the desk, with a pen and paper in his right hand, holding the pen holder with his slender fingers.

He raised his head and met Wei Ruo's eyes.

Wei Ruo walked up to Wei Jinyi, took the greeting card in his hand and asked straight to the point: "If I don't want to see him, will it affect Prince Rui's residence?"

"He can't do anything to me for the time being, and when he can do anything to me, no matter what, he won't let me survive." Wei Jin also replied.

Wei Ruo: "Really?"

Wei Jinyi: "Seriously."

Wei Ruo: "Then I don't want to see him."

Wei Jinyi: "I'll take care of it for you."

Wei Ruo: "Okay."

The dialogue between the two was concise and to the point, and the problem was solved with a few simple sentences.

Then both of them were silent.

The four eyes met, a little embarrassed.

Wei Ruo cleared his throat and asked what Xu Fengyuan had said to her two days ago.

"The Xu family discussed marriage with me before, and you sabotaged it?" Wei Ruo asked.

Chapter 492 Ask Wei Ruo to intercede

"yes."

Wei Jin also admitted it directly.

"Why?" Wei Ruo asked.

Wei Jin didn't answer this question so quickly. He looked at Wei Ruo with something hidden in his eyes.

"What's wrong? Is there anything inconvenient to say?" Wei Ruo asked.

"It's nothing, I just felt that Mr. Xu's family was not suitable for you." Wei Jin also replied.

"Second brother shouldn't always make decisions for me unilaterally." Wei Ruo expressed his dissatisfaction with this matter.

"I'm sorry." Wei Jin also apologized.

"Second brother, you respect me for everything else, and you always ask me about my wishes. Why don't you tell me about my marriage?" Wei Ruo asked in confusion.

"I did not do things properly." Wei Jin also replied.

Because he has selfishness, but he can no longer speak of this selfishness after hearing her innermost thoughts last time.

She expects him to be her elder brother, so he will be her elder brother.

The rest, he will take it to heart.

Wei Ruo didn't think too much about it. After all, except for her marriage, Wei Jinyi always didn't discuss it with her. In other aspects, he thought of her in everything and put her first in everything.

Since she entered the palace, no matter what she wants to do, he has unconditionally supported and pampered her.

Wei Jin also asked Wei Ruo: "Does Ruoer like that Mr. Xu?"

"Second brother, why do you ask that?"

"You came to ask me today that I destroyed your marriage with Mr. Xu, but you fell in love with him?"

It's no wonder that Wei Jin also had this suspicion because for more than a month, Wei Ruo went back and forth for Xu Fengyuan, doing it himself...

Wei Ruo paused, did not immediately explain, but asked instead: "If I like him, what about the second brother? I am now your wife."

Wei Jinyi clenched his fists tightly, and then said: "I will find a way to give you a free life, and you can also remarry."

Wei Ruo didn't expect Wei Jinyi to answer like this.

The last trace of unhappiness in Wei Ruo's heart also dissipated, and then he explained: "I am just a simple friendship with him. I used to be with him and several students from Anzhou College when the road was blocked by heavy snow in Taizhou Prefecture. The disciples were trapped halfway together, and they got along with each other for a few days. Although they didn't know each other deeply, they shared weal and woe. I couldn't bear to see him lose his arm at such a young age, and once I started treating him, I would definitely complete the matter. The reasoning of giving up halfway."

Wei Jin was also taken aback for a moment, then responded: "I see."

Immediately afterwards, Wei Ruo called Zhang Yi in and asked him to send the reply to Qi Mansion.

Qi Mansion.

Qi Yansong's expression turned ugly after receiving Wei Jinyi's reply.

He thought that Prince Rui would reject him, but he didn't expect that Prince Rui would be so disrespectful to him.

And now he can't do anything to Prince Rui.

"My lord, Princess Na Rui comes from the residence of the Duke of Zhongyi, and the people of the residence of the Duke of Zhongyi have always wanted to see you, my lord!"

The attendant beside him reminded.

"Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion..." Qi Yansong said thoughtfully, "Recently, the Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion has indeed experienced quite a lot of activity, and there is a great potential for revival."

"Yes, my lord, Princess Rui's younger sister is the side concubine chosen by the imperial concubine empress for His Royal Highness King Yu."

"Prince Rui is seriously ill, it's really not easy to provoke casually, but this Princess Rui can be wooed. Send me a letter to Uncle Zhongyi's residence, I want to meet the Wei family." Qi Yansong ordered.

The attendant got the order, and immediately set off to deliver the letter to Uncle Zhongyi's mansion.

Zhongyi Bofu.

The servants of the Qi Mansion came to deliver a message, saying that Lord Qi wanted to see them

Wei Minghong and Wei Mingyong felt extremely excited.

The two immediately competed to go to Qi Mansion to meet Qi Yansong.

The two argued for this.

Wei Minghong said: "I am the eldest son, so the person Master Qi wants to see is naturally me. How can I get you in white?"

Wei Mingyong said: "If I hadn't been running around all the time, how could Mr. Qi want to summon our family members? Naturally, I should go to see them!"

The two argued endlessly, and finally they went to the Shou'an Hall, asking the old man and the old lady to make a decision.

"Okay, okay, don't argue, you two should go together." Mrs. Wei said decisively.

"It's good to go together, the eldest is the eldest son, it represents the face of the mansion, so you should go, the second brother has credit for this matter, and also has ideas when things happen, the two of you go together to have a helper, and it is not easy to make mistakes." Old Mrs. Wei said .

The two elders had already spoken, and Wei Minghong and Wei Mingyong stopped arguing, so after some dressing up, they went to Qi Mansion to meet Qi Yansong together.

It's just that they went and came back in just an hour.

Bai asked anxiously about Wei Mingyong's situation, Wei Mingyong told her not to worry, he and his elder brother first reported the situation to the elder.

Wei Minghong said to Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wei: "Father, mother, Mr. Qi has something to ask us to do."

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Wei asked hurriedly.

"There is a miraculous doctor in Prince Rui's residence. Lord Qi wants to ask that miraculous doctor to treat Mr. Qi's injuries. However, Prince Rui is not in good health and doesn't see many visitors. Even Lord Qi, His Highness Prince Rui doesn't see him, so he wants us to find Rui. Princess Wang, tell me." Wei Minghong replied.

"So that's how it is. This is not a difficult task. When Princess Rui returned to the mansion, Prince Rui loved her a lot. She should be able to do such a small thing." Old Master Wei said.

"Yeah, it's all trivial. It's rare that Lord Qi can get us. This is our Wei family's chance!" Wei Mingyong said excitedly.

Yun Shi was also present, and seeing Wei Mingyong's appearance in a hurry, he felt very uncomfortable.

But if you think about it carefully, there is no big problem. If Ruoer can really help Master Qi and make the Qi family owe her a favor, it will indeed be a good thing for Yu Ruoer and the Wei family.

So the Wei family reached a consensus on whether to persuade Wei Ruo to help the Qi family.

The remaining question is who should go to see Wei Ruo.

Yun is Wei Ruo's biological mother, so she is indispensable for Wei Ruo's help.

But Mrs. Wei was worried that it would not be safe for Yun to go alone, so he thought about choosing another person from Mo and Bai to accompany him.

Bai's self-recommendation: "Father, let your daughter-in-law go, your daughter-in-law will definitely be able to convince Princess Rui!"

Mohs acted relatively calmly, sitting quietly on the side seat.

Wei Minghong was anxious and kept winking at Mrs. Mo.

Master Mo then slowly got up, walked to the center, and said gently: "My daughter-in-law is also willing to accompany the third sibling to go."

Grandpa Wei looked at the two of them and couldn't make a choice for a while, so he said, "You three might as well go, so as to show the importance we attach to this matter."

Mo, Bai, and Yun agreed.

Bai's spirit was high and he looked confident.

Mo Shi was as lukewarm as always and didn't have much reaction.

Yun's face was sad, but she didn't have much confidence in this matter.

Chapter 493 The tesplashing woman

"Miss, Uncle Zhongyi's residence has sent a greeting card. Your mother and two aunts want to visit you tomorrow."

The servants of the mansion handed the invitation to Wei Ruo.

Because Wei Ruo doesn't like others to call her princess, when there are no outsiders in the backyard of the palace, the servants all call Wei Ruo "Miss".

Wei Ruo picked up the greeting card, looked at it twice, sneered, and threw it aside.

"Miss, why are Madam and the others visiting you at this time?" Xiumei asked.

"Where did they come to see me, I'm afraid they will go to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing." Wei Ruo said.

Although the greeting card was full of mother's love for her daughter and family's concern for her as a married woman, Wei Ruo was not moved at all.

"Miss, we haven't seen them!" Xiumei said.

"I really want to meet them. If they come to see me at this time, there must be something for the three of them to come together. I want to see what kind of medicine they sell in their gourds, so that we can know each other and know what to do." Wei Ruo said.

Wei Ruo gave the greeting card to the servant who came to pass the message, and asked her to reply to the person who sent the greeting card from the Wei family.

On the second day, the three sisters-in-law Mo, Bai, and Yun arrived at Prince Rui's Mansion together in a carriage, dressed in fancy dress.

Guided by the servants of the palace, they came to the backyard garden of the palace.

In the gazebo beside the waterside pavilion, Wei Ruozheng was sitting at the table.

Wearing a goose-yellow skirt embroidered with gold and bouquets of flowers, with her hair half up and half up, she looks a little elegant and a little lazy.

There is a tea set on the table, and water is boiling in the stove next to it, and white steam lingers above the stove.

Mo, Bai, and Yun were brought to the gazebo.

"See Princess Madam."

Three people stood in front of the table, Wei Ruo didn't raise his head, but said to the three people: "Sit."

There are three chairs just opposite Wei Ruo.

Mo Shi found a seat a little awkwardly and sat down.

Bai didn't sit down immediately, but said to Wei Ruo with a smile on his face: "Princess Wangfei, I haven't seen you for a few days, you look more and more beautiful!"

Wei Ruo chuckled, and put aside the purple sand pot that had just finished making tea in his hand.

Looking up, smiling vaguely, Wei Ruo said: "Second Aunt, don't say those things against your will, why don't you come to me today and tell me straight to the point!"

Bai Shi immediately replied: "My lord, you have misunderstood. You have been married to the palace for some time. As a family, we come to visit you and care about you. This is what we should do."

Wei Ruo's smile didn't fade: "Really? Then the second aunt shouldn't make any requests to me today, otherwise I'll think what you just said is deceiving me."

The smile on Bai's face suddenly froze.

"This... great niece..."

"There is a difference in respect and inferiority, but the second aunt still has to respectfully call me 'Prince Princess'."

Wei Ruo interrupted Bai's speech.

Bai Shi's expression was even uglier. In just a few minutes after coming here, her face had changed from smiling like a flower to sullen.

Wei Ruoze still had that calm appearance.

"Sit down." Wei Ruo said to Bai Shi and Yun Shi again.

Bai's expression was reluctance, but thinking about what she wanted from Wei Ruo today, she sat down obediently.

Yun Shi also took his seat, and then looked at Wei Ruo with burning eyes.

My daughter's every move of making tea is dignified and elegant, slim and graceful.

"Ruo'er, how are you doing in the palace these days?" Yun asked in a gentle voice.

"Brilliant clothes and fine food, open your mouth and stretch out your hands when you eat, no one restrains you, you are free, I don't know how much better than when you were not out of the cabinet." Wei Ruo replied.

"That's good..." Yun slowly lowered his eyelids.

After that, there was a silence, Wei Ruo continued to brew tea leisurely, and put the brewed tea in front of the three of them.

Mo Shi was originally a quiet temperament, and now he was even more silent. He only said "thank you" in a low voice when Wei Ruo put the tea in front of her.

Both Mo Shi and Yun Shi remained silent, Bai Shi was very anxious. Sure enough, the two of them were useless, so she had to come!

Bai's face changed into a smiling face again: "Princess Wangfei, I heard that there is a genius doctor in Prince Rui's residence. I wonder if it is true?"

"What does it have to do with you?" Wei Ruo asked back, raising his eyebrows.

"Princess, what you said..." Bai could no longer laugh, her face was full of embarrassment, but she still held on.

"Aren't the two aunts and my mother here today to visit and care about me? Since they are visiting and caring about me, it doesn't seem to matter who is in the palace, right?"

Wei Ruo's series of questions left Bai Shi speechless.

She had no choice but to reply embarrassingly: "My lord, it is true that we came to visit the princess, but there are indeed some things that I want to trouble my lord."

Wei Ruo didn't respond right away, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, he looked at Bai Shi as if he was watching a play.

Mrs. Bai continued: "You must have heard about the injury of Mrs. Qi, the concubine. Lord Qi is looking for famous doctors to treat Mr. Qi's injuries. If there is a famous doctor in Prince Rui's residence, you might as well ask him to treat Mr. Qi. Lord Qi will accept the affection of Prince Rui's residence."

Wei Ruo let out a "puchi" laugh.

Bai Shi was embarrassed and asked, "What is the princess laughing at?"

"Why does my majestic Prince Rui's residence need to accept Qi Yansong's love?"

"This... princess, you still need to see things clearly, and don't indulge in the glory brought by the title of princess."

Bai's heart said, don't you know how much your princess weighs?

In recent years, because the emperor misses Empress Xu, he has handed over a lot of affairs to the cabinet. As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Mr. Qi holds great power.

A short-lived prince with no real power may not necessarily have a higher status than Lord Shoufu.

"What's the matter? After listening to the words of the second aunt, you still don't like me as a princess? What status do you have to say such a thing?" Wei Ruo asked Bai.

"Princess, please calm down, that's not what I meant..." Bai quickly explained.

"What does it mean not to mean?"

"My lord, I'm only saying this for your own good. Look at the situation of the lord..." Bai's words behind her didn't make sense, but the meaning was already expressed.

Wei Ruo has heard the same words with the same meaning more than once, and she feels that Prince Rui will die sooner or later, and the country will fall into the hands of King Yu and the Qi family sooner or later.

Wei Ruo sneered, then picked up the teacup on the table, and splashed it on Bai Shi's face.

Bai Shi was still trying to persuade her, when a cold bowl of tea splashed on her face.

The tea leaves stuck to her hair and face, and the water stains made her unable to open her eyes.

After wiping his face, Bai looked at Wei Ruo with a look of astonishment: "You...how are you..."

Chapter 494 I will not help

Mo Shi and Yun Shi on the side were also taken aback, they didn't expect Wei Ruo to do it directly.

They looked at Bai Shi who was splashed with water, and they were a little at a loss.

Wei Ruo put the teacup back on the table unhurriedly, held up his sleeves and continued to make tea.

"If Second Aunt talks nonsense again, the next thing you will splash on your face will not be cold tea."

"I... I'm doing it for your own good, why... you don't know good people!" Bai Shi was furious.

"You come to beg me to do something, and you dare to say it's good for me? I knew that the second aunt was shameless before, but now I realize that she is so shameless." Wei Ruo said slowly.

Now she is no longer the eldest lady of the Wei family who has not left the cabinet, and this is not the Zhongyi uncle's mansion.

Some things that were inconvenient to say in the past, and things that were restrained due to the relationship between seniority and inferiority, she can say now.

Bai's face turned green and white when Wei Ruo said it.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Mrs. Yun said, "Princess Wangfei please calm down your second aunt's incoherent speech, so don't take it to heart."

Bai Shi felt even more unhappy when Yun Shi said that, "Third siblings, why are you..."

Mrs. Mo stretched out his hand to hold Mrs. Bai, and reminded: "Second brother and sister, be careful. As the second brother and sister, it is your honor for the second brother and sister to say something about you. And today we are here to ask the princess. "

Bai's heart was extremely unhappy, but Mo's words brought her back to her senses.

She suppressed the anger in her heart, lowered her head, bit her lip, and cursed Wei Ruo in her heart.

A lowly girl who doesn't understand good people, when this girl suffers in the future, she must come and see her good show!

Yun continued to say to Wei Ruo: "My mother knows that Prince Rui's residence doesn't need the Qi family to accept it, but it's good if the doctor in the palace can really help, it's not harmful to the palace, and it can also help the emperor solve a troublesome matter." thing."

"But I don't want to do that."

Wei Ruo answered simply and neatly, and there was no other reason, except that he didn't want to.

Yun continued: "Princess Wangfei, you should just consider helping the Wei family."

"I don't want to help." Wei Ruo said.

"The Wei family is your natal family, and it is beneficial for your natal family to have power over you." Yun explained.

"What does it matter to me?" Wei Ruo replied.

Mr. Yun did not expect her daughter to be so indifferent, as if in her heart, there was no place for the Wei family and the Wei family.

"The princess should think more about it in the future." Yun had no choice but to persuade her again.

She wanted to tell her daughter that the reason why she and Bai had the same opinion was really for her daughter's good.

She used to be the most opposed to Wei Mingyong and Bai's idea of clinging to the Qi family. If it was in the past, she would definitely not agree with their husband and wife's approach.

Now she will tell her daughter like this because her daughter has become Princess Rui!

"Don't you all think that I will have a hard time in the future? Then why don't I cherish the present moment, and the moment of happiness is only a moment?" Wei Ruo asked rhetorically.

Yun's words were stuffed in his stomach, but Wei Ruo blocked them all.

Yun, Bai, and Mo were all silent.

Wei Ruodao: "It seems that the three of you are not in the mood to continue drinking my tea. If that's the case, you can go back."

"Come, see off."

Wei Ruo called the maids in the mansion and asked the three to leave.

Bai's eyes were full of unwillingness, as if she still wanted to say something to Wei Ruo, but the servants of the palace didn't give her this chance.

She, Mo and Yun were invited out by the maids of the palace.

After the three left, Wei Ruo took a sip of tea slowly.

Xiumei, who was standing behind Wei Ruo, asked, "Miss, that surnamed Qi is so wicked that he actually asked the Wei family to be a lobbyist."

"It's useless for him to ask the emperor and Lao Tzu to be a lobbyist. Don't say that I don't want to treat Qi Zhen anymore. Even if I think, I can't cure it. It's been more than a month. Only when the Daluo **** came will it be possible to treat him. The leg was attached back."

"That's right, there is still some hope that they invited the lady at that time." Xiumei nodded.

Wei Ruo put down his teacup and sighed slightly: "Xu Heyou has provoked more and more people now, it seems that he must find a chance to let him die."

"Huh?" Xiumei's eyes widened in surprise. What did the lady just say? Let Xu He die right?

Wei Ruo explained: "With my current status, I don't have to worry about being discovered by others. Many properties can also be attributed to my name. The status of a man is just to facilitate my travel. Xu Heyou has lost his face." You can change your face."

"That's right! Xu Heyou doesn't really exist, he can die as he pleases!" Xiumei finally understood what Wei Ruo meant, "But miss, how do you let 'him' die?"

"When you go out for a trip and come back, just say that you were killed by a thief on the way. Speaking of which, I want to go to Hejian Mansion these days, just to avoid the limelight."

Xiumei: "Miss, do you want to go out in person?"

Wei Ruo: "I want to go home, but I have to ask my second brother."

Xiumei: "I guess the lord will agree to miss."

Wei Ruo: "How do you know?"

Xiumei: "Because the lord follows the lady in everything, the lord will help the lady do whatever the lady wants!"

Wei Ruo: "Okay, you, we have only been in the palace, and you have already been bribed by him? Didn't you shout angrily to avenge me and beat him up?"

Xiumei: "No, no! I didn't turn against you! My heart has always been towards you, miss! Didn't I just speak for him because I saw the prince treat you well? If he treats miss badly, I will secretly scold you he!"

Wei Ruoxiao: "Why do you only dare to scold secretly? Not face to face?"

Xiumei pouted: "Who told me that I can't beat the prince? You are the only one who can scold the young lady face to face, but I can't."

Immediately afterwards, Xiumei said again: "Miss, if the prince agrees with you to go out this trip, you have to bring two more guards, otherwise I will not allow you to go out."

Wei Ruo: "What? You don't have confidence in yourself?"

Xiumei: "Really, it's been too chaotic recently. Didn't we encounter thieves on the way to the capital? There was almost an accident. When you sent me to Hejian Mansion a few days ago, you also assigned someone to follow me, so when you arrived You must bring a few more when you go out by yourself."

Wei Ruo: "Okay, okay, I got it, you will become a housekeeper at this time."

Xiumei: "That's a must! Miss's safety comes first!"

Wei Ruo smiled: "Okay, I'll go to the front to find the second brother, and give him the sword by the way."

After speaking, Wei Ruo got up and went to the front yard to find Wei Jinyi.

Wei Jinyi was not in the study this time, but in his bedroom.

Because of Wei Jinyi's order, no matter where Wei Ruo goes to the palace, no one will stop him.

When entering the bedroom, Wei Jin was also changing clothes. Through the screen, Wei Ruo once again saw the silhouette of his body.

Chapter 495 I will accompany you

Wei Ruo hurriedly turned his back.

"Really, at least ask your subordinates to stop me when I change clothes and take a shower!" Wei Ruo said angrily.

Wei Jin also changed and came out from behind the screen.

Seeing Wei Ruo with his back turned to him, he said, "Understood, I will tell them later."

Paused, then asked: "Why are you looking for me?"

Wei Ruo just turned around, looked at Wei Jinyi who was wearing a white veiled gauze pajamas, and handed over the sword in his hand: "It's for you."

Wei Jin also looked at Wei Ruo's hand. The reddish-brown scabbard and hilt didn't look gorgeous, without too many decorations.

Wei Jin also took it and pulled out the sword.

The blade is silvery white, the blade is bright, and the blade is sharp.

Wei Jin has also used swords for more than ten years, and he can tell at a glance that this is a rare and good sword.

"Where did Ruo'er get this sword?" Wei Jin also asked.

"The special steel used for the sword body that I asked someone to forge will be sharper than ordinary iron swords. The wood used for the scabbard and hilt is not to add unnecessary weight to the sword."

Hearing this, Wei Jin also tightened his hand holding the sword.

This is specially made by Ruoer for him.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Ruo said to Wei Jinyi: "I want to go to Hejian Mansion. Firstly, I have some business matters to check, and secondly, I want Xu Heyou to go out to avoid the limelight. Find a chance to let him 'die'."

Wei Jin also thought for a moment and said, "I'll accompany you."

"Are you going with me?"

"You have been away from the house for too long alone, if someone in the palace looks for you, it will arouse suspicion."

As a princess, Wei Ruo can't go out alone for too long or too far, unless she is accompanied by Wei Jinyi.

"But can the frail and sick Prince Rui go out?"

"There is a famous temple in Hejian Prefecture, just say that you accompany me to offer incense and pray for blessings." Wei Jin also said.

"Is it really okay? Wouldn't it be a lot of trouble? Will it delay the things you have to do in the capital?"

"It doesn't matter, there will be no delay."

Listening to Wei Jinyi's words, Wei Ruo couldn't help being moved.

Even if her request was very unreasonable for her current status and situation, he still chose to support her decision without hesitation.

Bai Shi who left from Prince Rui's Mansion had an indignant expression on his face.

Along the way, she blamed Yun and Mo.

She blamed Yun's mother for not being able to help, and blamed Mo for not saying a word, only watching, and sneered at the two of them.

Mr. Mo didn't speak the whole time, she was used to it a long time ago, and she also knew that Mrs. Bai felt unhappy after eating today, so she let her say a few words.

Yun Shi didn't fight back either. She was in a heavy heart at the moment, as if she was thinking about something and didn't have the heart to talk to Bai Shi.

Back to Uncle Zhongyi's mansion, the three of them informed the elders of today's situation and Wei Minghong and Wei Mingyong who were anxiously waiting till now.

Hearing Wei Ruo's attitude, Wei Mingyong said angrily: "It's unreasonable, she refuses to help with such a trivial matter, she just forgot her roots after becoming a princess and completely forgot that she is a girl who went out from Uncle Zhongyi's residence!"

Mrs. Bai continued to say angrily: "I've run out of good words, but she not only didn't listen to me, but also poured tea all over my face! Parents, look at this, how can this be the upbringing of a lady who goes out of the uncle's house? "

Mrs. Yun was already feeling uncomfortable. Hearing Mrs. Bai's nagging, naturally she couldn't get used to her, so she replied, "I came here to ask for some work, but the second sister-in-law offended her when she came up. It's easy to say, why should the villain file a complaint first and beat him up?"

Yunshi also knew that her daughter might not agree to it without Baishi's disturbance, but at this moment she couldn't see Erfang talking about her daughter like that.

Bai Shi said: "The third younger sibling is not talking about me. The third younger sibling is Princess Rui's biological mother, but the mother and daughter are like strangers, they can't even speak a few words to each other."

Yun's heart tightened, and Bai's poked him to the sore spot.

She is really not close to her daughter, and her daughter treats her like a stranger.

The feeling is like a thin needle stuck in my heart, and it hurts from time to time.

Bai continued: "Furthermore, if you and sister-in-law hadn't been silent, how could I have been such an early bird? How can Princess Rui blame me if she doesn't help? She has always had this attitude, if you want to blame, you can only blame me You didn't raise her well!"

Bai Shi used to be eloquent, but Yun Shi said she was not good at it.

Old Mrs. Wei interrupted Bai's complaint: "Okay, stop arguing, it's all a family, and it's all for the good of the family. Only when the family is harmonious can everything prosper."

"Mother, this matter is not a matter of discord, my eldest brother and I have already made a promise in front of Master Qi! If it doesn't work out, we can't explain to Master Qi!"

Wei Mingyong looked anxious, and when he thought of Lord Qi getting angry, he became very anxious.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wei couldn't help but frowned.

Old Master Wei said angrily: "This girl is too outrageous! We treat her well, but she is so ruthless!"

Old Madam Wei persuaded: "Don't be angry, this may not be all the fault of the big girl."

Old Master Wei said angrily: "Can you not be angry? This is not a trivial matter, how can you let her do it?"

"The third daughter-in-law has a shallow relationship with her. Before she got married, we couldn't say that we treated her very well. It is not unfounded for her to behave like this now. What's more, she is now Princess Rui. How can you be angry with her?" Why don't you think about how to get her to let go."

Old Mrs. Wei's words calmed down Mrs. Wei a lot.

"You are right. I can't solve the problem if I get angry with her. I have to ask her."

Old Master Wei thought for a while and then said to Yun who was standing in front of him, "Third daughter-in-law, you still have to deal with this matter. The problem lies with you."

"Father..." Yun's face showed embarrassment.

"This matter is related to the entire Uncle Zhongyi's mansion, so you have to go even if it's difficult! Whether you apologize to her, admit your mistake or beg for mercy, I only want you to find a way to get things done." Old Master Wei didn't care so much, he directly gave Yun gave the order to die.

"Yes, my daughter-in-law knows." Yun had no choice but to agree.

But she made another request: "Second sister-in-law has offended Princess Rui today, if you want Princess Rui to calm down, you have to ask her to take the blame."

"Third siblings, Princess Rui gets angry when she sees me, I think I should not make her angry, okay?" Mrs. Bai didn't want to see Wei Ruo again, fearing that she would not be able to turn back after being humiliated by Wei Ruo, so she wanted to find a reason. decline.

"Second sister-in-law don't talk nonsense like this time, wouldn't it be great? As long as second sister-in-law can sincerely apologize and express her sincerity, even if she can't ask Princess Rui for forgiveness, at least she won't add fuel to the flames, unless second sister-in-law can even do this Nothing can be done." Yun replied.

Chapter 496

Old Mrs. Wei agreed: "What the third daughter-in-law said makes sense, and the second daughter-in-law should not annoy Princess Rui again this time, even if she pours tea two more times, with the difference in status between you, you will have to suffer." on."

Bai's face was ugly, she looked at Wei Mingyong.

Even Wei Mingyong didn't choose to help her this time: "Madam, this matter concerns our Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion, so I will wrong you."

Bai had no choice but to agree in a low voice: "My daughter-in-law knows."

So on the second day, the two visited Prince Rui's Mansion again.

Because he didn't hand in the greeting card in advance this time, he was stopped by the servants of the palace.

The two talked nicely with the guard for a long time, and the guard finally talked to the two of them. The guard explained: "The prince and princess have gone out and are not at the house."

This completely confused Yun and Bai.

"Going out? Isn't the prince very ill? Why are you still going out?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who said our prince is seriously ill?"

"Yes, yes, we made a slip of the tongue. We mean that the prince may be troubled when he goes out. I am a little worried about the prince."

"What are you worried about? Dr. Xu went with me. With Dr. Xu here, the prince will have no problem."

Now it's all over, even the Miracle Doctor Xu they begged for has left.

This is not leaving them a chance.

Both Yun's and Bai's complexions turned ugly. Yun knew that if he failed to complete the task today and returned home, he would definitely make his parents-in-law unhappy.

Bai Shi gritted her teeth, she was already ready for Wei Qingruo to lie low, but this girl actually ran away!

Then how are they going to explain to Lord Qi? Isn't this hard-won opportunity to get close to the Qi family gone? Maybe it will even annoy Master Qi!

This is losing my wife and losing my army!

When he thought of the cooked duck flying away, Bai Shi became very angry.

Having nowhere to vent this pent-up energy, Mrs. Bai had no choice but to vent this resentment on Mrs. Yun, who was traveling with her.

"If the third brother and sister had this awareness when they came here for the first time, why would we need to make a second trip, and how could we be rejected?"

Yun didn't take this anger in vain, and replied: "If the second sister-in-law didn't come up and offend the princess, why should we make this second trip today?"

Mrs. Bai mocked: "Whatever you say, anyway, you are a mother, I think it is for nothing, and my own daughters don't want to see them. No matter how bad I am, my sons treat my mother very filial and obedient Yes, if I have a daughter, and if my daughter becomes Princess Rui, let alone such a trivial matter as inviting a genius doctor from the mansion to come out of the mountain, even half of the palace will have to get it!"

Mr. Yun was poked in the sore spot by Mrs. Bai again. She didn't know how to respond, so she got into the carriage with a livid face.

Bai Shi snorted coldly, and then got into the car.

Wei Qingwan has been waiting at home for news from Yun and Bai.

Ask Cui He to inquire about it every once in a while.

Finally, on the third time, Cui He brought back news: "Miss, madam and second madam are back, and they are now pleading guilty to the old man and old madam in Shou'an hall, they failed to enter Prince Rui's mansion, let alone persuade them Princess Rui is gone."

"Failed to enter Prince Rui's Mansion? Was it Wei Qingruo who refused to let them in?"

"I heard from the servants who went together that Prince Rui and Prince Rui's residence went to Tongshan Temple in Hejian Prefecture to offer incense and pray for blessings, and they were not at the residence." Cui He replied.

"Prince Rui is in such poor health, why did he travel so far?"

"This servant doesn't know anymore, and this servant also thinks that it is a desperate act for such a sick person like Prince Rui to run so far. But this servant also heard that the genius doctor surnamed Xu also went with him."

Speaking of the miracle doctor surnamed Xu, Wei Qingwan's expression changed again.

Because she now suspects that this genius doctor surnamed Xu is the doctor Xu who could make scar cream when he was in Taizhou Prefecture!

There are three reasons: First, although the surname Xu is not uncommon, miracle doctors are rare. Xu with the same surname is a miracle doctor, and the probability of being the same person is not low.

Secondly, Zhengdetang opened one in Lin'an Prefecture, and one in Beijing, both of which cooperated with Dr. Xu, and both sold scar-removing ointment;

Thirdly, she once met Wei Qingruo during Dr. Xu's free consultation. At that time, the gatekeeper said that Wei Qingruo was brought by a friend, but now Wei Qingruo and Dr. Xu are in Prince Rui's Mansion together.

If...if these two Dr. Xu are really the same person, and Wei Qingruo is very likely to have known Dr. Xu long ago...

Thinking of this, Wei Qingwan clenched her hands into fists and clenched them tightly.

Wei Qingruo knew that she was trying every means to find scar cream, she knew it all!

Cui He didn't know what Wei Qingwan was thinking, but seeing Wei Qingwan's ashen face, she cautiously asked: "Miss, do you want Princess Rui to help, or do you want her not to help?"

Wei Qingwan didn't know how to answer this question.

Whether it is from the perspective of Uncle Zhongyi or for her former sweetheart, she should hope that Wei Qingruo can help.

But on the other hand, she didn't want to see the Wei family relying on Wei Qingruo to hold Wei Qingruo so high.

"You talk too much." Wei Qingwan said.

She wouldn't tell a maid about these thoughts.

"I know my mistake." Cui He quickly shut up.

The news of Prince Rui and Princess Rui's trip quickly reached Qi Yansong's ears.

"Where is that miracle doctor?" Qi Yansong asked.

"Together."

"Oh, it's really unreasonable, this Chu Yi, why is he going to offer incense at this time! It's hard for people not to think that he didn't do it on purpose!" Qi Yansong said coldly.

"My lord, what should we do now?"

"Let the group of quack doctors in the Imperial Hospital continue to treat, and put Chu Yi's matter aside for the time being."

Although Qi Yansong was annoyed and agreed with this move, he was still able to distinguish the priorities.

Now that his life has been saved, he is not as anxious and angry as before.

For the sake of the overall situation, the person he should be more careful about now is Jing Wang Chulan rather than the sickly Chu Yi.

Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi took the same carriage when they went out this time. In the past, they were brothers and sisters in name, so it was inconvenient for them to ride in the same carriage. Now they are husband and wife in name, and on some occasions it is impossible not to be together. .

The carriage they were riding in was precisely the carriage Wei Ruo had brought as a dowry that had been carefully modified by her and Xiumei.

The inside is comfortable and spacious, and there is a small cabinet installed in the car, which can be used as a small table, and can also be used to store Wei Ruo's food.

Even when the road is flat, you can drink tea on it.

Wei Jin also sat on the side, watching Wei Ruo pinch the air-dried meat with one hand and bite into small bites, while flipping through the account book with the other hand, with a relaxed and happy expression, like a bird that just flew out of the cage.

The corners of Wei Jinyi's mouth also raised involuntarily.

Wei Ruo noticed that Wei Jin was also looking at him, "Do you want to eat?" Wei Ruo stopped and asked.

Chapter 497 Living in the same house

Wei Jin also nodded.

He is not greedy for snacks, but she cooks them differently, especially from the way she eats them, he feels that her snacks are very delicious.

Wei Ruo generously handed the bag in front of Wei Jinyi to Wei Jinyi.

Wei Jin also took a piece of air-dried meat jerky from the bag and put it in his mouth.

The jerky is very hard, with only a slight salty taste and the taste of the meat itself. It has no smell or smell. Although it is simple, it is still delicious, just like other foods she has made.

I don't know if it's because of the reminiscence of the old days, the smile on Wei Jinyi's face became stronger, as if the light could be seen in those star-like eyes.

Wei Ruo noticed Wei Jinyi's expression, and couldn't help thinking to himself: Isn't it just a little candied fruit, and it's worth being so happy? In Xingshan County, Taizhou Prefecture, I used to eat the meals she cooked.

At the earliest time, I hated her cooking because I couldn't get used to spicy food!

Seeing that Wei Jin also likes the food he cooks so much now, Wei Ruo is still a little proud.

Seeing that the road outside was already on the official road, the road was smooth and the carriage was not bumpy, Wei Ruo took out the tools for drinking tea by himself, a reduced version of the charcoal stove and the matching teapot.

Take out two more cowhide water bags, one containing water and the other containing milk.

Then came the tea cans, which contained the newly made black tea this year.

Wei Ruo made milk tea for Wei Jinyi and himself.

"Well, try it." Wei Ruo handed it to Wei Jinyi.

Wei Jin also took it and tasted it carefully.

Wei Ruo looked at him. She used to think that the second elder brother sipped tea and ate food slowly, elegantly and dignifiedly. Now that he is a prince, he is more suitable.

"Is it good?" Wei Ruo asked.

"Um."

"As long as it tastes good, I still have this. If you want to drink, take it yourself." Wei Ruo said with a smile.

"Um."

Wei Jin also looked at the teacup in his hand, and thought in his heart, even as a brother and sister, they can live in harmony for such a long time, and seeing her smile, he thinks it is enough.

The horse-drawn carriage was not moving fast, and it took more than half a day to get out of the capital.

After leaving the city, we walked for more than an hour before arriving at the next small county.

A group of people stayed in the post house in the county seat.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the post house, and when Wei Ruo and Wei Jin got off the carriage, several palace servants came forward to help them.

Wei Ruo and the others went out this time, in addition to the guards of the palace, the emperor also sent a small imperial forest army and several palace people to follow.

The chief steward of these palace people is this Eunuch Gao. He is a person close to the emperor, and he is here to accompany Wei Jinyi to take care of Wei Jinyi's food and clothing.

Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also expected that the emperor would send someone to accompany him, but it was unexpected for them to send Eunuch Gao directly.

This father-in-law is not easy to fool. With him around, Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi, a superficial couple, have a lot of inconveniences in their affairs.

For example, Wei Jinyi had to continue to pretend to be sick, and another example was that the two of them had to ride in a carriage, and they had to live in the same place when they stayed.

And Wei Ruo even suspected that this Eunuch Gao was sent by the emperor to supervise the two of them.

When the father-in-law visited her for the first time in the palace, the emperor's desire to leave a queen for His Highness Prince Rui was revealed in his words.

Wei Jinyi and Wei Ruo entered the station surrounded by everyone.

Although this is a post station in the county seat, it is a necessary post station on the way to Beijing, so the post station is built very large, the rooms are spacious and bright, and there are a lot of people serving there.

Wei Jin is also a prince, so he was naturally assigned to the best guest room.

Eunuch Gao is in Wei Ruo and it is not easy to live in another room.

So the two stayed in the same room.

In the room, Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also looked at each other.

"What about tonight?" Wei Ruo asked Wei Jinyi.

"You sleep here, and I will go out through the window after nightfall." Wei Jin also said.

"Where will you sleep after you go out?" Wei Ruo asked.

"There will be somewhere to sleep."

"Look for another guest room to sleep in? This is a post house, and no one is allowed to stay in the room, or do you want to sleep in the stable?"

Wei Jin was also silent.

He was going to be away from home on the roof. He didn't want to be too far away from her.

"You'd better sleep in this room, I'll spread a cotton blanket on the floor for you, and make you a quilt, and you'll make do with it."

Wei Ruo still couldn't bear to drive Wei Jinyi out to find a place to sleep.

Besides, this room is quite big, divided into inner and outer rooms. She sleeps in the inner room, separated from the outer room by a screen, and there is a curtain on the bed. After the curtain is drawn, there will be a private space. It should not be a big problem for the next night.

Wei Jin also laid the floor under Wei Ruo's command, and there was a knock on the door.

Because Wei Jin also pretends to be ill, answering the door is naturally Wei Ruo's job.

Eunuch Gao stood outside the door and said to Wei Ruo with a smile on his face: "My lord, is there anything you and the lord are missing?"

"No, everything here is complete."

"That's good. If you have any orders, call our house at any time."

"Okay." Wei Ruo replied.

Immediately afterwards, Eunuch Gao asked the little **** who was following him to come forward. The little **** was holding a tray in his hand, and there was a stewing pot on the tray.

"Princess Wangfei, our family ordered someone to make you a cup of tonic soup. You drank it before going to bed. It is a secret recipe in the palace. All ladies love it. It is very effective in nourishing and beautifying your skin."

"Eunuch Lao is here." Wei Ruo stretched out his hand and took the tray from the little **** that Eunuch Gao reached out to.

Eunuch Gao warned again: "Your Majesty, this is for nourishing women, don't let the prince drink it."

"Understood, thank you, Eunuch."

Wei Ruo replied, and then closed the door.

Wei Ruo put the soup on the table inside the house.

After opening it, I smelled it, then dipped a little bit with a spoon and put it on the tip of my tongue, tasted it, suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "No wonder I specifically told you not to touch it."

"Why?" Wei Jin also asked.

"This is indeed a tonic soup, a great tonic. Your body is too weak, so you can't drink it." Wei Ruo said in a teasing tone.

Wei Jin also felt that Wei Ruo hadn't said the whole thing, so he looked at Wei Ruo, waiting for her to continue.

Receiving Wei Jinyi's gaze, Wei Ruo smiled, and added: "I think Eunuch Gao wants me, the princess, to help you save the sick prince, so he specially prepared such a nourishing soup for me."

As soon as this remark came out, Wei Jin also understood.

Wei Jinyi's body was weak, so Eunuch Gao didn't dare to feed him casually, but he accepted the emperor's order, hoping to leave a successor for Wei Jinyi, so he could only attack Wei Ruo.

"It's troubled you." Wei Jin also apologized, because of his pretending to be sick, these things happened now.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not tired yet."

It sounds weird to say she's tired, like they did something.

"That was not what I meant…"

Wei Jinyi's face flushed slightly, and he also realized that there was something wrong in what he said.

Chapter 498 A sleepless night

"Drink the hot soup, it's really nourishing. I used a lot of good things. Don't turn around and let Eunuch Gao see that I didn't drink it. Then I will think that I refused you on purpose."

Wei Ruo had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his tone was half joking and half serious.

After speaking, Wei Ruo turned and walked into the inner room behind the screen.

Wei Jin also looked down at the soup on the table...

A moment later, Wei Jin also poured the medicinal soup into the flower pot beside him.

He didn't dare to drink the soup as Wei Ruo said. If the soup was really that kind of nourishing soup, he would feel desire after drinking it, and he would regret it for the rest of his life if he overstepped her.

When he was next to him, he was confident in his self-control, and he was not afraid of a bowl of nourishing soup.

But facing Ruoer, he didn't have that much confidence, because there was already a demon hidden in his heart.

At night, Wei Ruo was lying on the bed, his eyes were piercing, and he was not sleepy.

Thinking that Wei Jin was also in the same room as him, Wei Ruo unexpectedly lost sleep.

It's summer, and the chirping of cicadas and crickets is especially obvious outside.

Wei Ruo's thoughts drifted away with these voices...

I don't know if the second brother drank the bowl of soup, or if he threw it away secretly.

Wei Ruo is not lying when he said that Wei Jinyi drank that bowl of soup, he can indeed drink that bowl of soup.

Because even though the bowl of tonic soup was hotter after eating, it would only be soft and soft, and there was no aggressiveness.

If someone with a strong body like the second brother takes it, it will have the effect of nourishing qi and blood. The effect is probably similar to that of some aphrodisiac drugs, and it is easier to be energetic in a certain way.

Guessing that Eunuch Gao was afraid of hurting Wei Jinyi, he chose to use this conservative method.

If she turns into a hungry tiger, Wei Jinyi will be in serious trouble if her body is too strong.

So although Eunuch Gao has a mission, he still has to give priority to Wei Jinyi's personal safety, even if he uses some means, it will be more gentle.

Moreover, Eunuch Gao didn't dare to make it too obvious. They would definitely settle accounts with him the next day after he really administered some aphrodisiac, so Eunuch Gao couldn't afford it.

Wei Ruo also believed that Wei Jin would not enter the inner room.

Wei Ruo didn't know what Wei Jin was like to other people, but he would just shyly run away from her and would not intentionally offend her, let alone try to do something to her in the dead of night.

It is even safer to have him guarding outside than to fall asleep by herself, she can sleep with peace of mind.

So Wei Ruo doesn't know why she can't sleep.

Some images of getting along with Wei Jinyi unconsciously popped up in my mind. In my memory, his black gem-like eyes always looked at me deeply and deeply.

Especially after the goodbye in the capital, he always looks at himself with bottomless eyes, as if hiding many, many stories.

Across a screen, Wei Jin also did not fall asleep.

His hearing is extremely keen, and he can clearly hear Wei Ruo's breathing, and from Wei Ruo's breathing, he can tell that she is not asleep.

Why didn't she fall asleep?

Did something bother her?

Is it because he's here?

Although he couldn't see her, just by feeling that she was in the same space as him, hearing her breathing and slight movement on the bed, Wei Jin could feel his heart beating unusually.

He obviously poured out the bowl of decoction, but why did his body breathe heavily as if he drank the bowl of tonic soup?

Wei Jin also closed his eyes and began to meditate, reciting martial arts in his heart.

In this way, from dark to dawn, neither of them managed to fall asleep.

Early in the morning of the second day, Eunuch Gao led people to wait at the door, and when the people inside were summoned, he came in with washbasins, towels and toiletries for them to wash.

Because Wei Ruo didn't sleep well all night, the dark circles under his eyes were obvious, and his expression was very tired.

When Eunuch Gao saw this, he couldn't help showing a gratified smile. It seemed that yesterday's tonic soup had some effect, which made the princess suffer.

Looking at the situation of the prince, there is nothing unusual.

This is the best, I just hope to leave a queen for the prince on the premise of not hurting the prince.

On the afternoon of the second day, Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also entered the boundary of Hejian Mansion, and arrived at Tongshan Temple on the third day.

The abbot of the temple had heard the news that Prince Rui and his wife came to offer incense early, and led a group of monks to wait at the gate of the temple.

Then Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also moved into the meditation room of the temple.

Because of Prince Rui's physical condition, Eunuch Gao arranged for the two of them to stay and rest first, and then go to various halls to offer incense and worship after resting.

In the next few days, the monks in the temple will do several prayers for Wei Jinyi, such as the Diamond Sutra, the Ksitigarbha Sutra, the Amitabha Sutra, and the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra and so on.

After moving in, Wei Ruo and Wei Jin began to stay behind closed doors.

The two of them stayed in the room most of the time, and the only ones who could enter and leave the room to serve were their personal attendants and maids.

Because Wei Jin is also in poor health, no one suspects such behavior.

At the foot of the mountain, Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also rode on the horses prepared in advance.

The two of them changed their appearance, and traveled as Xu Heyou and Wang Jin.

And this may be the last time Wei Ruo used the identity of Xu Heyou. This time, she intends to make this identity disappear when she goes back, and ask Lin Fang to make another human skin mask for her even if she changes her appearance again.

The two of them galloped on horseback in the wilderness, and the warm summer wind blew on Wei Ruo's face, which made Wei Ruo feel particularly good.

She didn't know how to ride a horse before, and she didn't have the opportunity to ride so happily after she learned it.

It is rare to have such an opportunity today, she can enjoy herself to the fullest.

Wei Jin also followed Wei Ruo closely. He knew that Wei Ruo was not proficient, so he followed her closely and kept a relatively close distance from her.

If something happens to her, he can protect her in time.

After riding for a while, the two slowed down.

Wei Ruo was panting slightly, her face was flushed.

She turned her head to Wei Jinyi, who was riding beside her on horseback: "Second Brother, you said that when you fulfill your wish in the future, will we have a chance to live such a carefree life for a long time?"

Wei Jin did not give an answer immediately.

He didn't want to commit lightly without being absolutely sure, and didn't want her to be hopeful and disappointed.

Wei Ruo also felt Wei Jinyi's uncertainty.

The two of them can't finish talking too early before the game is broken.

Wei Ruo smiled and said: "Second brother, you and I are in the same boat now, even if there is a good or bad, at least there is a companion on the road to Huangquan, it is better than walking alone, don't you think?"

Wei Jin also showed surprise in his eyes, and then there was a trace of warmth and warmth in his eyes.

"Ruo'er is right."

The two met each other with a smile and raised their whips again, speeding up.

Chapter 499

In the following days, Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also conducted on-the-spot surveys of the cotton fields purchased by Wei Ruo, and arranged various planting and management tasks for the cotton fields.

During the period, the two went to the ground together several times.

If Wei has a need to go to the field, the crops she personally planted can increase experience points when they grow into harvests, so she will definitely go to the field by herself when she catches a good opportunity.

Not only did Wei Jin not say much about Wei Ruo's behavior that was not in line with ordinary ladies, but he even accompanied her to toss it.

Wei Jin also put on coarse clothes again, picked up a hoe, and looked like a peasant, but his skin color and appearance were still too different from that of a peasant. It seemed that he didn't often work in the fields, only his palms Calluses are like that.

After Wei Ruo had been busy for a while, she turned her head and saw Wei Jinyi's cheeks covered in mud, which looked a little funny, so she couldn't help laughing out loud.

Wei Jin also saw her smiling at him, knowing that his appearance might be a little strange, but he didn't care if his image was damaged.

"Second brother, why didn't I realize that you have the potential to be a coolie, and this **** is better than Zhao Ergou." Wei Ruo commented.

"Who is Zhao Ergou?" Wei Jin also asked.

"A little brother from Mojiazha used to fight with Brother Xiaoyong a lot in the past, and every time he was beaten by Brother Xiaoyong until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen."

"Why are they fighting?"

"At first it was because Zhao Ergou and Xiaopang at the village entrance said bad things about me together, and Brother Xiaoyong fought for me. Later, Zhao Ergou was unconvinced, and he had to challenge Brother Xiaoyong every time."

"Sounds interesting."

"Yeah, there's also Meimei. She and Brother Xiaoyong quarrel as soon as they meet. They're such a sweetheart."

Speaking of this, Wei Ruo suddenly put down the **** in his hand and remembered something.

"Second brother, I feel that it's time for me to talk to Meimei about marriage."

"Who do you want to tell her about?"

"Of course it's Brother Xiaoyong. I know Brother Xiaoyong likes her, but Meimei doesn't seem to know." Wei Ruo said.

Some things are clear to the onlookers. Wei Ruo can see some clues from watching Xiumei and Xu Zhengyong fighting and bickering.

After a pause, Wei Ruo added: "But it depends on Meimei's own thoughts. If she doesn't want to, forget it. Women don't have to marry, as long as they live happily, it's the same if they don't marry. I can have a good time. It is also because this person is Brother Xiaoyong, so I think I can give it a try, and I will not arrange for the other people."

Wei Ruo was also afraid that if Xiumei was interested in Xu Zhengyong in her heart, it was just because Xiumei wanted to take care of her and accompany her that the marriage of the two was delayed.

"So at that time, you would rather go out and marry someone who was dying than marry Xu Zhengyong?" Wei Jin also asked.

Wei Jin also knew a long time ago that if Wei Ruo just wanted to leave the Wei family, marrying Xu Zhengyong would be a good choice, especially at that time Xu Zhengyong already had an official position.

"That's natural. I can't drag Brother Xiaoyong from being unable to marry a wife in the future. Even if he doesn't have affection for Meimei, it won't work." Wei Ruo admitted.

She is a fake marriage. If Brother Xiaoyong's wife's position is taken, Brother Xiaoyong will not be able to marry a wife and have children normally.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Ruo said to Wei Jin: "I didn't delay you now, you chose it yourself!"

"Um."

"However, if you really want to have children, that's fine. I'll help you find a beauty, but you'll have to make this beauty a side concubine or concubine." Wei Ruo added.

Wei Ruo has this idea because recently there is always an Eunuch Gao who stares at him, hoping that he will leave a heir for the "seriously ill" Prince Rui.

"Don't talk nonsense." Wei Jinyi's expression became serious.

"How can it be nonsense, I know that many men have such thoughts. It's not bad, after all, you are the only surviving blood of your maternal ancestor's family."

Wei Ruo himself doesn't have any idea about offspring, but he also knows that the offspring family is still very important in the thinking of men in this world.

Even the second brother may not be able to escape the vulgarity.

And they don't know how long they will have to play this fake couple. If he really needs it, she, as the wife in name, should help him make arrangements.

"It's getting late, it's time to go back." Wei Jinyi suddenly changed the subject.

Wei Ruo smiled, and found that her second brother was a little shy on this topic, so she didn't continue.

Hey, the second brother is also, unexpectedly so clueless.

I heard that the prince in the palace, when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, there were palace people who specially taught him about this aspect.

The hero Chu Lan in the original book is an exception. Although there are many women in his backyard, he has never actually had a relationship with any of them. After Wei Qingwan entered his backyard, he even dotes on her alone.

The reason is that when Chu Lan was thirteen years old, a court lady who tried to jump the dragon gate with a carp drugged her and climbed into bed. Things are full of vigilance.

I don't know why her second brother is like this, so I will find an opportunity to ask Lin Fang and the others another day.

In addition to matters related to the cotton field, Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also went to a nearby coal mine together.

Private mining is allowed in the current dynasty, but a higher mining tax will be charged, which is 30% of the 30th, that is, one-tenth.

However, even if the imperial court allows it, it is still difficult for ordinary people to obtain the right to open mines and kilns. It is not possible for anyone to open a mine if they want to.

Fortunately, Wei Ruo is no longer an ordinary person, and the identities of Prince Rui and Princess Rui become very useful at this time.

So with the help of Wei Jinyi, Wei Ruo reached an agreement with the local government to purchase a nearby coal mine without too much trouble.

This made Wei Ruo very happy, and once again felt the benefits of Princess Rui's double status.

Coal has a wide range of uses. In addition to heating, it also plays an extremely important role in smelting.

And because of the coming winter, coal will become very tight. Although coal is not as good as wood-fired charcoal for heating even after refining, it is better than freezing.

On the way back, seeing Wei Ruo's happy face because Prince Rui's Mansion took down the coal mine, Wei Jinyi's mood couldn't help but lighten up.

If you really can be an idle prince, letting her live the life she wants so carefree is also a good choice.

And he is willing to stay by her side in such an embarrassing capacity, until one day she has a better choice.

"Second brother, thank you." Wei Ruo suddenly turned around and said to Wei Jinyi who was looking at him in a daze.

Chapter 500 Four people eat barbecue together

"You don't need to thank me, I didn't do anything." Wei Jin also replied.

"Why didn't the second brother do anything? The second brother has done a lot of things. Not only was the coal mine taken down with the help of the second brother, the second brother also silently supported me to do many things that other women could not do. Please find me, and the second brother tried his best to help me stop it." Wei Ruo counted the things Wei Jinyi did for himself.

Wei Jin also looked at Wei Ruo's smiling face and didn't answer.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Ruo stared at Wei Jinyi and said: "There are not many people in this world who can pamper me so much. My nanny is one, Meimei is one, and now there is one more you."

"Well, we are all your family." Wei Jin also said.

Hearing this, the corners of Wei Ruo's mouth kept rising.

Family, what a beautiful word.

Although the nanny, Meimei, and the second brother are not related to her by blood, they all gave her warmth beyond the family.

She is very satisfied.

After that, Wei Ruo, accompanied by Wei Jinyi, bought a manor in Hejian Mansion, which was near the cotton field she bought.

Because it is located in the suburbs, the price of the manor is not expensive, at least it is much cheaper than the shops in the capital.

1,600 taels of silver bought the Zhuangzi covering an area of more than 20 mu, including the large bamboo forest behind the manor, all of which belonged to Wei Ruo.

And there are two huge warehouses in this manor that Wei Ruo likes very much. Wei Ruo can use them to store the cotton collected in the future.

Wei Ruo can also stockpile some materials transported from the south of the Yangtze River here, and it will be convenient to transport them to the capital from here when necessary.

The large bamboo forest behind Zhuangzi also needs to be used by Wei Ruo. Bamboo has many uses. Not only can it produce bamboo shoots all year round, but the moso bamboo itself can also be used to make various bamboo products.

In addition, as long as the bamboo forest is properly protected, it can also be used to grow many useful herbs, such as ginseng in the forest, and the horse chestnut that likes to grow in the shade.

On the night of buying Zhuangzi, Wei Ruo didn't rush back to Tongshan Temple, and Wei Jin also stayed with her.

There are their people on the mountain, as long as you keep it from Eunuch Gao, it won't be a problem if they don't come back for a night or two.

Wei Ruo and Xiumei set up an iron grill for barbecue in the big courtyard of Zhuangzi.

Xiaobei helped light the fire and add charcoal.

Wei Jin also asked people to find a lot of fresh ingredients. After processing, they were skewered with freshly split bamboo sticks.

Scenes like this are familiar, but the difference is that the courtyard they are in now is several times larger than that of the Wei family, and the surrounding environment is also quieter and quieter.

Not long after, the smell of meat wafted in the courtyard, making people's appetite greatly increased.

Wei Ruo sprinkled each skewer with her secret barbecue seasoning.

Xiaomei ate the kebab happily, and said with a satisfied face: "Miss, the food you cook is too delicious. I was a little uncomfortable when I ate your food for the first time. Now I eat your food. These, if you go to eat elsewhere, you will feel extremely bland."

Xiumei said: "How do you say that the dishes made by my lady are all based on seasonings. Haven't we also made light food?"

Xiaobei hurriedly explained: "It's my subordinate who said the wrong thing. It's because Miss and Meimei make delicious food! It's because I used to be ignorant, short-sighted, and short-sighted. I mistakenly took pearls for fish eyes, and boars couldn't eat fine meat." bran!"

Xiumei was amused by Xiaobei's series of apologies: "I see that you really went all out to eat a few bites from my lady, and you even called yourself a mountain pig!"

"Compared to Miss and Meimei, I am indeed a mountain boar, very rough!" Xiao Bei smiled smirkly.

"Don't talk about Meimei, Meimei is called by my lady." Xiumei corrected.

Obviously she was called "Miss Xiumei" in the past, but recently, for some reason, she imitated her lady and called her "Meimei". It sounds weird!

"Sorry, Miss Xiumei." Seeing Xiumei's serious face, Xiao Bei quickly changed his words.

"It's not that I don't want you to call, it's just that we are not that familiar." Xiumei added.

"I know, Miss Xiumei, I didn't think carefully." Xiaobei scratched her head in embarrassment, with a shy expression like a little girl.

The four of them ate and chatted, and when the chat got excited, Wei Ruo talked about the matter he had mentioned to Wei Jinyi a few days ago.

"I'm going to tell Meimei about a marriage."

As soon as the words fell, Xiumei and Xiaobei choked at the same time.

"What's wrong with you?" Wei Ruo asked, why did the two of them choke together.

"Little... Miss, what are you talking about? What do you mean kiss... Didn't you agree that I will never marry? You can't drag me into trouble just because you are forced to marry!" Xiumei regained her composure. After that, he asked in surprise.

Xiaobei stared at Wei Ruo and Xiumei with wide eyes, hesitant to speak.

"Don't worry, if you want to marry someone, I won't force you to marry. I'm just talking about it. If you like it, it's fine. If you don't like you, it's okay. Don't think about it when the time comes." Marry, but because I missed it, then I have committed a serious crime." Wei Ruo said.

"No! If I don't say kiss, I will stay with Miss for the rest of my life." Xiumei refused, and then added, "Besides, Miss, you haven't really married yet! You haven't married me yet." How can I get married?"

As she said that, Xiumei glanced at Wei Jinyi: "You and the prince are not considered married. In the future, the prince will marry another, and you will marry another!"

As soon as Xiumei said this, Xiaobei looked at Wei Jinyi nervously.

The moonlight and the firelight of the lantern hanging beside him hit his face, reflecting his as usual cold face, only those eyes slightly revealed some of his hidden emotions.

Xiumei paused, feeling that the atmosphere was a bit weird, especially Xiaobei, why did he feel weird?

Did she say the wrong thing? no?

Originally, the prince and the young lady were not really married. The young lady and the prince made it very clear.

Wei Ruo brought the skewered meat to Xiumei: "Meimei, eat meat."

Xiumei nodded with a dazed expression, then took the meat skewers and began to chew.

Wei Ruo continued: "Don't worry, if you don't want to get married, I will never let you get married and let you stay with me to be a little rich woman for the rest of my life. Look at each other, if you don't even want to look at each other, then just pretend I didn't say it."

Xiumei finally felt relieved: "Miss, I am relieved when you say that. I am determined to be a landowner and rich man by my side for the rest of my life. How can I marry someone casually?"

Wei Ruo sighed slightly in her heart, and didn't know for a while that she had instilled in Xiumei the idea that women should rely on themselves and not on men.
