Chapter 394 What a good ending

It was almost noon when Lu Jiangnian returned home.

Yuan Wanru went to Wangchun Hall and trimmed a pot of flowers with Wang Min.

When Wang Min woke up in the morning, he knew that Lu Jiangnian had returned from Qingzhou. This was really a happy thing.

Although she has not been able to see her son yet, it does not affect her happiness.

In the past two days, Madam Lu has recovered. However, she has been acting out of character and staying quietly in Rongshou Hall, not going out of the main door or the second door.

Sisters-in-law Wang Min and Zhou Fang went to pay their respects to her every day. Old Madam Lu did not lose her temper. She spoke to them in a friendly manner and then sent them away.

"The old lady was probably frightened this time."

"She can be quieter in the future, and everyone can worry less."

Yuan Wanru didn't comment or respond. She didn't want to bother with the old woman anyway.

What’s more, what my mother said is not right. According to the plot in the book, there is another person who is about to appear.

If the old woman could remain so obedient when that man came to the capital, Yuan Wanru would believe that she had really changed for the better.

Just at this moment, Lu Jiangnian came back.

Behind him, several people followed and brought in the emperor's rewards, filling the front hall.

Wang Min accidentally cut off a branch with the silver scissors in her hand, and was secretly feeling sorry for it.

"Jiang Nian, didn't you go to see the emperor?"

She looked at these gorgeous objects in amazement, put down her scissors, walked over, and stroked a piece of glittering Shu brocade with her fingertips. "Why do I feel like I'm raiding someone's house?"

Yuan Wanru's eyes widened as well: "Yeah, so many things, where did you get them?"

Lu Jiangnian sat down and drank a cup of tea, with a tired look on his face.

"This is a gift from the Emperor. Madam, take whatever you like."

Wang Min chuckled: "You are so thoughtful. Mom has too many things to wear. Give these to Wanru. She is young and needs to dress up more."

Yuan Wanru shook her head: "Mom, please choose some too, otherwise I will leave them all here and not take anything away."

Wang Min had no choice but to pick a few items.

She noticed that Lu Jiangnian looked a little tired, so she sent the two of them back to rest.

"You can go to your grandmother's place and pay your respects at dinner time."

-

After returning to Lingshuiju, Yuan Wanru asked Lu Jiangnian to lie down in the house, but he refused to do so.

"My lady, stay with me."

Yuan Wanru looked at him unhappily: "Wasn't last night's nonsense enough?"

"If I had gotten some sleep last night, why would I be so listless today?"

Yuan Wanru only realized today that they had hardly any rest along the way, and the few people who followed him to Qingzhou all looked exhausted.

He actually still has the mind to think about that matter!

You are really risking your life.

Yuan Wanru helped him take off his coat, and Lu Jiangnian pulled her down onto the bed with him: "I'm fine."

He held the person in his arms and recounted the conversation before the emperor one by one. When he said "even more heroic and youthful than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince", Yuan Wanru suddenly burst out laughing.

"You can make up anything," she said with a hint of smile in her eyes, "When did I say these things? And the Emperor actually believed them?"

Lu Jiangnian glanced at her calmly, his eyes as deep as a pool: "What do you think?"

Yuan Wanru's smile suddenly disappeared.

Her slender fingertips unconsciously stroked the cloud pattern on his collar and whispered, "The emperor is such a man, how could he be fooled?"

She raised her eyes and met Lu Jiangnian's gaze. "I'm afraid these rewards were prepared long ago. They asked you to go to Qingzhou to investigate the case first, but it was actually to get rid of you. Everyone knows it well."

“Now that you are back, the emperor has given you some sweet treats to appease you.

Lu Jiangnian reached out to gather her hair, and his fingertips touched her slightly cold earlobe: "Madam is smart."

"What about you? Are you feeling bad?" Yuan Wanru held his wrist and felt his pulse beating steadily.

Lu Jiangnian raised his lips slightly: "It's just the emperor's mind."

The tone was as casual as if they were discussing tomorrow's weather.

Yuan Wanru relaxed and lay in his arms, feeling bored all of a sudden: "Thinking about all these twists and turns, it's really boring."

"It's really boring."

Lu Jiangnian looked at the light outside the window, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

He already had a plan in mind. Perhaps he should think about what path he should take next.

Lingshuiju was quiet throughout.

Nanny Pang felt sorry for Lu Jiangnian, so she just told everyone that no matter what they did, they were not allowed to make any noise.

Yuan Wanru lay in Lu Jiangnian's arms, listening to the occasional cicada chirping outside the window, her thoughts flying.

She got up late this morning and now she really can't sleep.

Time passed quietly, and she suddenly remembered something and moved slightly.

Looking up, he saw Lu Jiangnian's eyes were as clear as torches, staring fixedly at the cloud pattern embroidered on the bed curtains, with a hint of solemnity between his brows.

Noticing her movements, he looked down and said in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

Yuan Wanru reached out and touched his forehead, her fingertips touched a shallow wrinkle: "Why aren't you asleep yet? Aren't you sleepy?"

Lu Jiangnian grabbed her soft hand and kissed it gently: "It's okay. Although I didn't get a good rest along the way, it's better than staying up all day on the battlefield."

He paused, a gentle smile in his eyes, "Besides, holding you, how can I feel sleepy at all?"

It's just that my heart is at peace and I can concentrate on thinking about some things.

Yuan Wanru was secretly shocked.

This man's physique is truly amazing. He just returned from a long journey yesterday, and had such a hard time at night, but now he is still full of energy.

Thinking of last night's passion, her ears felt hot and she lowered her eyes in a hurry.

Lu Jiangnian pinched her fingertips and asked, "What did you want to say just now?"

Yuan Wanru knew that he was always perceptive, so she sighed and said frankly, "That day in the palace, I met Doctor Tang."

Her voice gradually lowered, "Now that Concubine Liang has been imprisoned, what do you think of Doctor Tang..."

"He will definitely die." Lu Jiangnian interrupted firmly, his voice as cold as ice.

Yuan Wanru's breathing paused.

Although I had expected it, hearing the answer in person still felt like being hit by a hammer.

She thought back to when she was treating Doctor Tang, he had clearly been tortured beyond recognition by the poison, but he still spoke gently and calmly, never complaining at all. This kind of character is truly admirable.

She felt a little sad, and her throat suddenly tightened.

Lu Jiangnian noticed that she was in a low mood, so he pulled her closer to him and said, "My dear, life and death are determined by fate, don't think too much..."

Yuan Wanru buried her face in his chest, smelling the familiar scent, but she couldn't dispel the chill in her heart.

Although she was mentally prepared, she was still very sad when the moment really came.

After a while of silence, Yuan Wanru couldn't help but asked excitedly: "What did he do wrong again?"

Her eyes sparkled as she stared at Lu Jiangnian. "Their entire family is dead. He can't be blamed for the death of the late queen."

"Doctors are not gods. Who can guarantee that every patient can be cured?"

"Shouldn't the emperor compensate him for the injustice he has suffered over the years?"

"Why do you want to take his life?"

As a doctor, Yuan Wan felt quite sad at this moment.

Lu Jiang stroked her back and said in a low voice, "From the moment he chose to go to the emperor to appeal, he should have known that this was the best outcome. He..."

"What's the best possible outcome?"
