Chapter 100 I'll Accompany You to Minxuan
"I've grown a lot."
Lu Wanning went to Yanzhou during this period and handed the kitten to Sang Zhiyu for care, and asked Hongling to look after it as well. Children are very playful, and if they forget about the kitten while playing, don't let the kitten go hungry.
However, judging from the two kittens that she saw after she came back yesterday, which were obviously much bigger, Sang Zhiyu must have taken good care of them.
Hongling said that the little guy is waiting for her to come back to name the two kittens together.
It is said that Mr. Yan is indeed a cat lover. When it comes to talking about cats, he seems to have endless topics.
Lu Wanning looked at his bright eyes and smiled, "If there's a chance later, Second Young Master Yan can go with me to see those two little guys."
This is no different from inviting him to your home.
Yan Er hesitated for a long time and nodded hesitantly.
Yan Er was aware of the constant glances from Shopkeeper Wu outside looking in. He knew that Lu Wanning must have something else to do, so he left in a hurry without any further delay.
There was nothing to do in the Ministry of Justice today, so he planned to find someone to talk to about the prefect and Hu Er.
After the people left, Lu Wanning was no longer idle. She was busy in the clinic all day long. When it was getting dark, Sang Mingyue dragged her to the Treasure Pavilion.
The things in the Treasure Pavilion have been prepared and are just waiting to be opened.
After a round of walking, Sang Mingyue rubbed her hands and said, "Don't forget the sapphire."
Lu Wanning nudged her and said, "I haven't forgotten."
When talking about sapphire, she was a little distracted and didn't know whether Qi Muchao had returned from the palace yet.
He accompanied Sang Mingyue in the Treasure Pavilion for a while before returning home together.
Halfway through the walk, Lu Wanning spotted a wonton stand under a bridge not far away and suddenly looked at Sang Mingyue, "Would you like to eat something?"
This wonton stall was Sang Mingyue’s favorite in her previous life.
Every time she returned empty-handed from Wei Xun, she would come to find Lu Wanning.
The night was lonely. Two people filled with hatred and confusion sat together in front of the wonton stall. The hot wontons could barely dispel some of their confusion.
This was the first time that Sang Mingyue tasted these wontons. She poured the chicken soup that had been simmered for a long time on the cooked wontons and sprinkled a few chopped green onions on them. The taste was not much different from the delicious delicacies in the palace.
Lu Wanning was still eating wontons with her head down, but Sang Mingyue, who was sitting opposite her, looked behind her and gave her a teasing look, "Prince Qi is here to pick you up."
Qi Muchao was wearing a light blue dress today, and he looked as gentle as jade.
He walked towards her step by step under the moonlight, "Are you full?"
Lu Wanning nodded, "Would you like a bowl too?"
"No need." Qi Muchao had no appetite. "I brought you some cakes from the palace. Didn't you say the almond cakes tasted good last time?"
…
After returning to Prince Qi's Mansion, Lu Wanning looked at Qi Muchao's hard-to-conceal fatigue and frowned slightly, "Is it very complicated?"
It is a bit complicated. Too many people are involved in this matter in Yanzhou. In addition, His Majesty is still in poor health. If all those people are brought down at once, it may backfire.
But if we take it lightly, we will be unfair to the suffering people of Yanzhou and the former governor whose entire family was killed.
Qi Muchao was a little tired. He pulled Lu Wanning over, gently rested his chin on her shoulder, and closed his eyes. "Let me lean on you for a while."
Lu Wanning didn't move. She didn't know much about what was happening in the court, and she couldn't share any of Qi Muchao's burden.
However, she guessed that what made Qi Muchao so exhausted was not just the Yanzhou incident. Perhaps the person who poisoned His Majesty was also involved.
And the person most likely to have poisoned her was already obvious to her, and Qi Muchao and the emperor must have seen it even more clearly.
After letting him hold her for who knows how long, Lu Wanning felt her legs getting numb. She turned her head to find a place to sit down. While she was thinking about it, Qi Muchao pulled her in front of him again.
This time, Lu Wanning sat directly on his lap.
“…”
She felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to stand up.
Qi Muchao sighed softly, "I'm so tired. I didn't sleep all night yesterday. I was accompanying His Majesty to sort out the mine accounts in Yanzhou."
The struggling action paused for a moment, and after a while, she heard his muffled laughter. Lu Wanning twisted his waist unhappily, "The prince is really good at pushing his luck. When it comes to getting ahead of others, I'm afraid no one can surpass you."
Today he begs me to kiss your cheek, tomorrow he begs me to kiss you on the mouth, and now he just hugs me without any restraint. So next time, I'm going to go straight to the bed.
Lu Wanning's face flushed and she pursed her lips.
But in fact, Qi Muchao did not have too many romantic thoughts in his mind now. He only smelled the faint fragrance on Lu Wanning's body, and felt that his heart had finally settled down.
I roughly calculated when this matter would be over.
The officials going to Yanzhou have now been decided.
After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Song Yu returned, he was no longer needed for this matter.
Qi Muchao was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "I heard that the person I sent to Minxian has returned. Did he bring back any useful information?"
"Prince Linchang of Minxian came to Ming three years ago and stayed here for more than half a year."
Although it is still impossible to confirm whether this person has any connection with the murderer who killed her parents, any clue is better than finding nothing at all. Everything will have to wait until she goes to Minxuan and meets King Linchang.
"When the prince comes back, I will accompany you to Minxian."
Lu Wanning didn't say anything for a long time, staring at him in a daze.
Qi Muzhao had a smile on his face, supporting his cheek with one hand, and looked at her with interest, "What's with that expression? Are you afraid that I will hold you back?"
After a long moment, Lu Wanning smiled and suddenly asked him, "Don't you think I'm overestimating my abilities?"
"Why?" Qi Muzhao's smile gradually faded. "Did someone say that to you?"
Yes.
In her previous life, after she was with Chen Wenjian, she once thought that Chen Wenjian had fallen in love with her.
Perhaps because she had seen the deep love between her parents, she always believed that love should be beautiful and based on mutual trust.
So she told Chen Wenjian about her parents, and also gave him the buttonhole that she never took off.
Chen Wenjian has more connections than her and might be able to help her.
But she waited and waited for a long time, and Chen Wenjian didn't bring her any news, so she took the initiative to ask.
But all he got was Chen Wenjian frowning in extreme impatience, "What happened in the past is in the past. If you keep dwelling on hatred like this, how can you be happy in the future? I've thrown away that button. Don't mention the matter of your parents anymore."
"There was a period of time when bandits were rampant in Zhen'an. Perhaps the death of your parents was just a result of the bandits."
