Chapter 193 The duck in the mouth flew away
Xuan Qing, who was following behind Lu Jiangnian, curled his lips. What the prince said was really an understatement.
He was exhausted after spending most of the day.
The emperor planned to go to the temporary palace in the near future. The crown prince took the guards to the palace to set up defenses before dawn.
He was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water, let alone eat lunch. After finishing the arrangements, he hurried to the city.
Xuanqing was hungry and thirsty.
If you ask me, the prince is too nervous.
The Crown Prince's wife didn't leave the capital and return to Nanjiang County like she did last time, and then return to the mansion at night. Could it be that she couldn't see him?
Since the Crown Prince's wife has been promised to come to Qihuangzhai and Xuanhuang has been arranged to keep an eye on her, what is there to worry about? Can the Crown Prince's wife really run away?
Why do you have to rush over and watch it in person?
However, when they came in just now, the man surnamed Su and Xuan Huang surrounded the Crown Prince's wife with excited eyes and chattering, which was really a bit weird.
Like, two concubines vying for attention?
Xuan Qing felt a little chilly.
Why did he think of this metaphor?
Yuan Wanru looked at Lu Jiangnian and immediately noticed the chapped corners of his mouth.
"Why is your mouth so dry? Didn't you drink any water?"
Lu Jiangnian thought that she was going to come to Qihuangzhai today, so he had no time to drink water. He was so busy that he had to split himself into two people just to get there as soon as possible.
"No, I haven't had lunch yet. Have you finished your work with my wife?"
They had almost finished talking, and now when she heard him say that he had not had lunch, she decided not to stay any longer.
"Then let's go."
Su Shaodong was secretly annoyed. He looked at Yuan Wanru with a smile and said, "Xiao... Doctor Jiang, when will the other patient be arranged? How about tomorrow?"
The jealous guy is right in front of him, so he'd better not touch his sensitive spot, to avoid Master Lu stopping the little beauty and forbidding her to come again.
This man is very scheming.
Don’t think he doesn’t know. Last time, Lu Jiangnian specifically asked someone to keep an eye on the things happening in the back hall of Qihuangzhai.
Fortunately, he had made preparations in advance and set up a "Tang Tai" in the back hall room to hide from others.
Otherwise, everything will be exposed.
If that was the case, he would definitely shave off Old Man Wu's hair and pluck out his beard before escaping. It was because he was so excited when he saw the Taiping Pills in the little beauty's hand that he lost his mind and spoke without restraint.
Lu Jiangnian took a step ahead of Yuan Wanru and refused.
"My wife and I have something to do tomorrow, so she won't be able to come."
"Besides, didn't you just see a patient today? Why are you in such a hurry to arrange another one?"
"My lady, there are many people in the mansion now. If you come in and out frequently, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion from those who have ulterior motives. It's best not to come here too often."
What Lu Jiangnian said makes a lot of sense.
Although Wang Min is generous and never restricts her, there are Liang Yusong and Lu Wei at home now, so it is not easy for her to go out often.
"Okay, I understand. I'll come back for a follow-up visit in five days. From now on, it will probably be at this frequency. Before this patient is cured, it's better not to arrange for other patients."
The following words were addressed to Su Shaodong.
Lu Jiangnian curled the corners of his lips proudly.
Su Shaodong looked depressed.
"All right."
-
Because Lu Jiangnian didn't have lunch, they didn't go home directly, but found a restaurant nearby.
They ordered a sweet and sour fish during the meal. Lu Jiangnian took two bites and didn't eat any more.
On the contrary, Yuan Wanru ate with great relish.
Most of the fish on the plate went into her stomach.
Lu Jiangnian looked at her with amusement: "You said you're not hungry, but I see you ate a lot."
Yuan Wanru looked at the empty plate with embarrassment: "This fish is well cooked, so I ate a few more bites. Why, you don't want to give it to me?"
Her lively eyes were as beautiful as stars, her smile was bright, and her voice was soft and tender, making Lu Jiangnian feel extremely sweet in his heart.
"How could I not let you eat?"
He suddenly said, "I'm done with my work, why don't we go back home tonight and go directly to the villa."
"The chefs there are very good at cooking fish. They will definitely make you enjoy the meal."
Yuan Wanru looked at him with eyes wide open, a little hesitant: "But, we have to tell Mom, Dad is also at home, it would be bad if we don't go back."
Because Lu Wei recommended Liu Jun as a concubine, the eldest wife had not been able to sit together and have a good meal.
I don’t know if Wang Min has any other plans tonight.
"Besides, I didn't bring a change of clothes."
Lu Jiangnian hid the dim light in his eyes and slowly explained to her: "We are already a family, there is no need to consider our parents' opinions on everything. Besides, when we are not at home, they can talk to their sister."
"As for the clothes, don't worry, I will arrange it."
"If you go tonight, you can have an extra meal of fresh sea bass."
"You can eat it steamed, grilled, fried, sweet and sour, braised, steamed, or in fish soup...all kinds of ways."
"If you don't take this opportunity to eat more, it will be harder to catch fish when the weather gets colder."
Yuan Wanru was so tempted by what he said that her appetite was aroused.
"Oh well."
They sent someone back to tell Wang Min that they were about to set off for the villa.
Who knew that at this moment, someone blocked their way.
"Prince, His Highness has something urgent to discuss with you."
The visitor was the prince's confidant, and he looked anxious.
Lu Jiangnian said impatiently, "What's the matter?"
The man said, "Your Highness, please go to the East Palace immediately. I don't know what happened."
The long-awaited event encountered unexpected twists and turns, and Lu Jiangnian really wanted to curse.
Yuan Wanru saw that his face had turned dark, thinking that something bad had happened, and she did not dare to delay: "You go quickly, I will go back to the mansion directly."
Lu Jiangnian thought for a while and proposed a solution: "Why don't you go to the other courtyard and wait for me first? I will come to you as soon as I am done with my work."
The duck in your mouth just flew away!
Not reconciled!
She shook her head and said, "No, today is already a rush, let's go tomorrow."
She just went home and made Taiping Pills.
Today Su Shaodong asked her to deliver the goods as soon as possible.
One bottle can be sold for four hundred and fifty taels. When it comes to making money, you can't be too lazy.
Lu Jiangnian said helplessly: "Okay."
"Xuanqing, escort the lady back home."
He cursed in his heart, hoping that the prince had something really important to do, otherwise, he would not be able to help but punch him.
He must be made to understand that an unsatisfied man is not to be trifled with.
-
East Palace.
When the prince saw Lu Jiangnian, he hurriedly said, "I got news that some rebels are planning to assassinate my father while he is at the palace."
Lu Jiangnian's eyes narrowed, and he asked seriously, "Is the news reliable?"
"Yes, my second brother told me."
Second prince?
Lu Jiangnian asked calmly: "How did the Second Prince know?"
The prince explained with some relief: "Speaking of which, this incident was also a coincidence. It was his personal guard who accidentally heard it. He wanted to follow him secretly, but they discovered him and lost him."
"You are fully responsible for the deployment of the palace this time. You must get to the bottom of this matter before your father leaves."
