Chapter 78: All Considerations Are for the Future



There are always people who think quickly.

Miss Jun did not return to Jiuling Hall after leaving Lu's residence, but came to Mr. Han's residence.

The Royal Guards had already left, and many people were still gathered outside the door, talking in low voices.

Just like the previous one, the Royal Guards did not arrest anyone, but smashed the house and left.

Hearing the knock on the door, the steward who had just sent Miss Jun came out.

He looked much more haggard than before.

"Miss Jun, you're fine. There's a bit of a mess at home, so I won't invite you in." After hearing the purpose of Miss Jun's visit, he said with a bit of apology and fatigue.

Miss Jun was silent.

I guess Mr. Han has already considered something.

Officials of this status are all very smart. As long as they think of the entanglement between Miss Jun and Lu Yunqi, they can guess the reason why the Jinyiwei came to harass them.

Regardless of whether it is a coincidence or not, once you have speculation in your mind, you must act cautiously.

"Okay, Miss Han's illness is not very serious, it just takes a longer time to recover." Miss Jun said, "I will go back and prepare the medicine and have someone send it over tomorrow."

The steward hesitated.

"We'll get it ourselves tomorrow," he said, bowing.

If you come and get it yourself, maybe he won’t come.

Miss Jun was silent for a moment, then turned and walked away.

The steward looked at her back with a complicated expression, and finally sighed and closed the door.

The next day, no one came to Mr. Han's house to get the medicine.

"They invited the imperial physician." Chen Qi said.

Fang Jinxiu glanced at him.

"Now is not a critical time, so I'll have more people keep an eye on it." Chen Qi said with a grin.

Fang Jinxiu ignored him and looked at the packed medicine.

"I stayed up all night last night for nothing." She said, "Why don't we give this medicine to the imperial physician in private and have him give it to Miss Han."

Since Chen Qi is being watched, we must know which imperial physician it is. Nowadays, many imperial physicians are polite to Jiulingtang, so he should be easy to talk to.

Miss Jun shook her head.

"We could do this at another time," she said, "but since the Jinyiwei are determined to make things difficult for us, they will definitely keep an eye on us. Even if we send medicine over, it will be discovered. Scholar Han's family will inevitably be disturbed again, and the imperial physician will also be implicated."

Chen Qi and Fang Jinxiu nodded.

"I finally see how rampant the Jinyiwei are." Chen Qi said, "I don't believe that no one will take care of them. They want to stop people from getting treatment and saving lives. Isn't this murder? They are targeting us Jiulingtang for no reason. Who can tolerate them?"

"No one wants to tolerate him, except the emperor," said Fang Jinxiu.

Chen Qi was silent.

"There are so many officials who have been harmed that the emperor has to be careful," he said. "It's simply lawless."

Miss Jun raised her hand to cover her mouth and yawned.

"Fortunately, Madam Wang and Miss Han's illnesses are not fatal, they just take time to heal, so other doctors can slowly treat them." She said, "I'm going to rest now."

Chen Qi and Fang Jinxiu watched her go in.

"I understand what Miss Jun said." Chen Qi said.

"Do you understand what she said?" Fang Jinxiu glanced at him.

"Miss Jun said that Madam Wang and Miss Han's illnesses are not fatal." Chen Qi said, "So these two families were disturbed and didn't want to cause trouble, so they just went to someone else to see a doctor. That's because they haven't realized that Miss Jun's medical skills are indispensable. Once they realize that she is a life-saving person, they will have to think carefully about which side to choose."

Fang Jinxiu sneered and turned to go inside.

"Hey, am I right?" Chen Qi hurriedly followed, "Am I smart?"

In early April, the capital city was in full bloom with flowers, and the streets were bustling with people. A group of people walked by.

This is a fat and big-eared man in his thirties, surrounded by four or five red-clad guards. He looks very majestic in his official robes.

Only officials of the same status as Grand Bachelor are qualified to be equipped with this kind of red guard.

But considering this man's age, he could not possibly be a Grand Bachelor of the Cabinet.

Seeing him coming, pedestrians on the street avoided him with a mixture of fear and disgust.

This kind of treatment is only available when you meet the Jinyiwei.

However, when he met the Imperial Guard, he hid his disgust and dared not show it.

"Master Huang!"

A shout full of laughter echoed in the street.

The man on the horse looked back with a bit of arrogance and saw an official in his forties urging his horse towards him.

He put on a smile and bent over to make himself look shorter than the man.

"Sir Huang, are you going to court?" he said.

The man who was called Mr. Huang snorted.

"Lord Li, are you going to see His Majesty too?" he said.

Lord Li had a big smile on his face and bent even further, appearing to be a head shorter than Lord Huang.

"I don't have the qualifications," he said. "I went to the Ministry of Personnel to sort out documents."

Mr. Huang said "oh" and ignored him.

Lord Li still followed carefully.

"Sir Huang is really hard-working, being summoned by the emperor every day." He said, taking out a small covered bowl from the cloth bag hanging on the horse's back and handing it over in a flattering manner, "This is a nourishing soup that I personally made."

This happened on the street, and passers-by standing on the street almost popped their eyes out when they saw this scene.

This, this is too shameless.

Mr. Huang was also amused.

"Master Li can also make soup?" he asked, "Did you learn cooking skills from a cook?"

Lord Li didn't care about the surprise of passers-by or the laughter of Lord Huang.

"When I was young, my family was poor and my mother was seriously ill, so I had to do the laundry and cooking to keep us fed," he said sincerely.

"It's really not easy for Lord Li." Lord Huang nodded and signaled the guard to take the lid.

Lord Li was so happy that he almost cried.

"I dare not, I dare not. Lord Huang is the one who works hard. He has to respond to the emperor's summons every day. I am of low rank and cannot share your worries. But if I can share Lord Huang's worries, I will not let down the heaven, the earth, the emperor, my parents and my teacher." He said with a choked voice.

Lord Huang couldn't stand it anymore.

"Yes, I know," he said.

Only then did Lord Li bow deeply on the horse.

"Then I won't delay Master Huang any longer." He said, raising his sleeves to wipe away his tears. "I am so glad to see Master Huang today."

Lord Huang waved his hand at him with some impatience as a gesture of return, and urged his horse forward.

After watching Mr. Huang turn onto Yu Street, Mr. Li straightened up from his horse and noticed that people on the street were pointing at him.

"What are you looking at!" he shouted with a raised brow and a stern face, looking at the people on the street.

The humble and respectful smile just now disappeared.

After all, he was an official, so the people on the street quickly shrank their heads and avoided him.

Lord Li flicked his sleeves and rode away with a bit of authority.

Seeing him leave, the people on the street showed their disdain again and spat on the ground.

"Another one who recognizes a thief as his father," he whispered.

Chen Qi, who was standing in front of a pharmacy, retracted his gaze and looked in the direction where Mr. Huang had gone, but he had long disappeared.

"Is that Mr. Huang?" he asked.
