After leaving Pei's mansion, Lu Shikai's expression was still a little unsightly.

He was scolded bloody by Pei Anlin just now, but in the past, he had blocked Pei Anlin to the point where he couldn't even speak, but this time he ignored it first and could only let Pei Anlin scold him.

Thinking of this, Lu Shikai looked at Xie Yan complainingly: "Look at the good deeds you have done, why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"Rather than causing our two families to have quarrels, it's better to speak out about this matter face to face." Xie Yan replied bluntly.

Lu Shikai was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled: "Indeed, Lu Yuanyou did this dishonestly, I must write to him and ask him what he means!"

"It's just selfishness." Xie Yan said with cold eyes and a cold tone, "Second Uncle doesn't want the Pei family to become relatives, but he probably doesn't want to be that powerful relative himself."

Lu Shikai's expression turned cold: "Don't worry, I will definitely give the Pei family and you an explanation for this matter!"

Their Lu family has been clean for generations and has never been involved in these government affairs. It is precisely because of this that after the Qichen incident, the entire family of the Lu family was able to be preserved.

The Lu family's family style is like this, he will never let Lu Yuanyou ruin the Lu family!

"Thank you, Uncle." Xie Yan lowered his voice, "Ning'er is... very fine, I hope Uncle won't hold any prejudice against her."

Liu Gong's words that day still echoed in his ears all the time.

He is absolutely unwilling to let his cherished family members treat Gu Ning like Liu Gong.

Hearing this, Lu Shikai raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "What? What if I say she's not good? Can you still divorce her?"

Xie Yan was silent for a while, before saying: "Ning'er is my future wife, it is enough for me to understand that she is good, as for uncle... you can travel around the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River."

"Are you going to send me to the frontier?" Lu Shikai smiled helplessly, "Is Gu Ning so important to you?"

"It's just like the position of the mother and concubine in the heart of the father."

Xie Yan's words changed Lu Shikai's joking expression.

After a while, he nodded slowly: "I think the county magistrate is very nice. Even if she is a commoner, I will never block your marriage with her, as long as you are happy."

As he spoke, he patted Xie Yan on the shoulder.

Over the years, he has watched Xie Yan step by step to today. He knows how much Xie Yan has suffered, and knows the paranoia and madness in Xie Yan's heart.

Before, he was worried that Xie Yan would become a tyrant, but after Jiang Nan said goodbye, and seeing him today, he found that the violent aura on Xie Yan had dissipated a lot.

"If your mother and concubine know about it, she will be happy." Lu Shikai said softly, "I will deal with Lu Yuanyou, and I will never let him affect your marriage with the county lord."

"Thank you uncle."

"I'm your uncle, why are you being so polite?" Lu Shikai sighed, "As for this prescription for treating smallpox..."

Lu Shikai was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "I want to use the name of your mother and concubine to make this prescription public, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Xie Yan frowned: "A prescription for treating smallpox?"

"You don't know yet?" Lu Shikai was surprised, "The county lord found this out of an ancient book. Doctor Zhou has already tried it. It has miraculous effects on the treatment of smallpox, and the medicinal materials used are very common. Can afford it."

"The county lord is really a good boy, so he just took out such a precious prescription and gave it to me, so that our Lu family can gain a good reputation." Lu Shikai said with emotion, "It is worthy of being taught by the eldest princess and the old general Pei. The child who came out deserves to be Anyang..."

Mentioning this name, Lu Shikai's eyes darkened.

Xie Yan glanced at his disappointed expression, thought for a while, but still didn't tell him that Pei Anyang was still alive. The reason why a secret is a secret is that if more people know about it, it is no longer a secret.

However, thinking of Gu Ning taking out a prescription, Xie Yan's heart sank.

For some reason, he always had a hunch that this prescription was related to the number that suddenly dropped above Gu Ning's head.

Thinking of this, Xie Yan immediately quickened his pace.

Lu Shikai was left behind, coupled with Xie Yan's cold and gloomy expression at the moment.

In the eyes of others, it was the discord between Xie Yan and Lu Shikai.

This news was immediately sent to the emperor's desk.

"Oh?" The emperor rarely reviewed the memorial, and was only interested in the news sent by the shadow guard.

Seeing the detailed experience recorded above, the emperor was a little surprised: "Xie Yan didn't think well of Lu Shikai? He didn't seem to have met Lu Shikai before."

Li Dehai on the side reminded in a low voice: "Master Xie used to go to Jiangnan with Princess Changning and Princess Changning when he was still the guard of Pei Mansion. At that time, Lord Lu met Princess Princess Dachang in Jiangnan. Maybe it was there. acquainted from time to time."

The emperor sneered a few times: "My aunt is always so independent that no one else dares to contact the Lu family. Luckily, she even met Lu Shikai specially!"

The Lu family is the natal family of the former prince concubine, and the former prince's in-laws!No one dared to make friends with members of the Lu family, for fear of getting involved with the first prince.

The emperor has always been happy to see their avoidance, only in this way can he feel his majesty.

Li Dehai didn't know how to answer, so he lowered his head.

Soon, the emperor threw the booklet back on the table: "It seems that Xie Yan is a smart man who knows how to avoid taboos."

"The person you value, Your Majesty, is naturally good." Li Dehai complimented, "Even if the Pei family has contact with Mr. Lu, don't you acquiesce?"

"Of course." The emperor nodded, and appreciated Li Dehai's kind words, "Although I don't like the great achievements of the Pei family, I have to admit that they are indeed loyal ministers."

"Back then, the Pei family and the Lu family had a good relationship, and even intended to marry. If such a good relationship suddenly cooled down, I would suspect that they had other plans. On the contrary, they are so open and aboveboard, which wins my heart even more."

The emperor thought he could see clearly, and his face was full of complacency.

Li Dehai also praised from the side: "The emperor's eyesight is indeed good! Although the Pei family has made a lot of contributions, it is because of their ability that they are the first, and they are loyal to you. Seeing that you have taken a fancy to Mr. Xie, they will make Changning county magistrate Xu I gave it to Mr. Xie, isn't this just a way of showing favor to you!"

"Exactly." The emperor nodded, "It is precisely because of this that I just let them cultivate at home instead of raiding their homes with an imperial decree."

The emperor was complacent, but Li Dehai heard it in his heart, but was secretly startled.

It turns out that the emperor still has this thought!

He didn't dare to continue talking, and changed the subject with a smile: "Your Majesty, I see that your complexion is much better than before. It seems that the elixir offered by Chen Daochang is indeed miraculous."

Hearing this, the emperor was even more happy.

"Chen Daochang is indeed stronger than Zheng Tianshi." The emperor nodded, "Zheng Tianshi's method is a bit sinister and needs to be rectified slowly, unlike the Longevity Pill that Chen Daochang offered me, only one pill will be effective. "

"Then do you want to summon some beauties tonight?" Li Dehai asked tentatively, "After the empress dowager fell ill, she was very concerned about your children."

When mentioning the Empress Dowager, the emperor immediately thought of the smallpox she had contracted, and couldn't help but feel a little unlucky. He frowned and said, "Smallpox is spreading in the harem, don't let them out!"

The long night is lonely, but life is the most important thing.

"Yes." Li Dehai quickly responded.

Just at this moment, a shadow guard walked in quickly, with a hint of fear showing on his usually calm face.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Lu...he pasted a prescription on various parts of the city gate, saying that he found it from the relics of the former princess, and it can cure smallpox!"

Hearing this, the emperor's face, which was still full of smiles just now, suddenly became gloomy: "What does Lu Shikai mean by this? Could it be that he wants to fight against me?"

"Besides, did he mention the late prince?"

"No." The shadow guard shook his head, "The servants of the Lu family mostly praised the former crown princess for her noble character, but as for the former crown prince...he didn't mention a single word."

After receiving this sentence, the emperor sat back on the buttocks that had just left the dragon chair.

"Lu Shikai is devoted to his eldest sister. Even if everyone is dead, he will not forget to restore her reputation!" The emperor sneered, "It's just a woman, it can't cause any trouble, as for the prescription..."

"Let all the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital come over, and then invite Daochang Chen and Tianshi Zheng to see if it works."

Li Dehai got the order and immediately went out.

But as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard the emperor say again: "Stop calling Zheng Tianshi, just invite Daoist Chen alone."

Those stubborn old people in the Imperial Hospital used to dislike Daoist Chen, but now they dislike Tianshi Zheng. If Tianshi Zheng appeared, there would be another quarrel, but he couldn't kill them yet.

Thinking of this, the emperor's face darkened.

Li Dehai nodded again and again, and hurriedly asked someone to invite him.

……

At the gate of the city at this time, the bustling people were all desperately trying to see the paper pasted on the gate.

Some literate scholars have already started to read.

Gu Ning stood in a restaurant not far away, watching the actions of these people, his heart moved slightly, and he ordered: "In the name of Pei's family, set up a few stalls at the city gate and distribute the medicine to the surrounding people."

The big limelight has already made the Lu family out. In the past, the Pei family set up a stall at the city gate to help the poor people. It is not surprising to do this now. At that time, it will be able to encourage other aristocratic families in the capital to do good deeds together.

As soon as Chunyu heard this, she nodded quickly and said, "I've written it down, I'll let someone do it later."

"County Lord, do you still want to go to the west city gate?"

"No need." Gu Ning shook his head, "Since my grandmother entrusted Master Lu to do the work, then Master Lu must handle things properly."

Speaking of this, Gu Ning is about to take Chunyu out of the restaurant.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door of the private room, she saw Xie Yan with a gloomy expression.

And Xie Yan's eyes kept floating above her head.
