Zhongning went out to give instructions on this matter.

Emperor Zhenguang looked at his brother beside him and said earnestly, "Now that the girl has been found, you can rest assured." Then he said the same old thing, "You should also make up your mind about some things."

Of course Gu Mingheng knew what his brother was talking about.

In response to this, Gu Mingheng couldn't help but remain silent.

In fact, when he talked about this with Yuan Yu that day, he didn't have any ideas. He thought that if there was someone suitable, it would be fine to get married.

But now knowing the girl's situation, how can Gu Mingheng feel at ease to marry a wife?

He thought that he had to at least wait until the girl got married and had someone around to take good care of her.

Otherwise he would really be worried.

However, Gu Mingheng knew that he could not say this to his brother.

The emperor's elder brother had long been dissatisfied with his reluctance to get married.

Therefore, he was also dissatisfied with Mingjin, who had been missing for many years.

If he knew what he was thinking, Gu Mingheng was afraid that he would do something bad to Ming Jin.

Thinking of this, Gu Mingheng said to others: "Please let me see for myself. After all, I want to get married myself."

"It just so happens that I will be staying in the capital for a while this time."

"Really?" Emperor Zhenguang said happily.

Gu Mingheng was actually delaying time.

But when Emperor Zhenguang heard this, he felt that it was a great step forward.

Whenever I talked to my younger brother about getting married, he either refused or refused to listen, or simply changed the subject. Now he finally has this idea in mind.

And he actually took the initiative to suggest staying.

How could Emperor Zhenguang not be happy about this? Even looking at the memorial in his hand, he became much more satisfied.

He felt that all this was because the girl from the Ming family was found.

Otherwise, who knows where his brother's heart is floating.

Just as Zhongning came back from giving instructions, Emperor Zhenguang asked him, "I remember Ming Yuandu's name was on the list of candidates sent by the Ministry of Personnel a while ago. Does he also want to join the cabinet?"

He never avoided Gu Mingheng about these things.

For Emperor Zhenguang, even if no one in this world can be trusted, his own brother will never betray him!

His younger brother is a more reliable person to him than his son or wife.

Zhongning nodded and replied, "Yes, there is such a thing. Li Zhongtang is quite satisfied with this Lord Ming."

Li Zhongtang's name was Li Shunchun. He was also a member of the cabinet and was the second assistant. His position in the cabinet was second only to Zheng Qingquan.

This Li Zhongtang was a graduate of the Hanlin Academy and was also Ming Jingheng's teacher.

Over the years, the Ming family and the Li family have always been very close.

After the examination this time, there happened to be an extra position in the cabinet. Naturally, the cabinet ministers all wanted to recruit their own people so that they could find another assistant for themselves.

More than a dozen people were scrambling for one position.

In fact, it was not Mingyuan Ferry that Emperor Zhenguang was satisfied with at the beginning.

But it was just a position of a university scholar, so it didn't matter who it was given to. Besides, Ming Yuandu was the eldest son of Aunt Fuhua after all.

The girl has been found now, and Aunt Fuhua should be back from Laojun Mountain soon.

He sold her a good one, and there was nothing wrong with that.

Emperor Zhenguang was about to speak when Gu Mingheng beside him said, "Brother, do you want to promote this Lord Ming?"

Emperor Zhenguang was slightly startled.

He looked at Gu Mingheng beside him and asked, "Do you think this is inappropriate?"

He thought his brother would be happy.

Gu Mingheng put down the teacup in his hand and told Emperor Zhenguang about the Ming family.

He was truthful and did not exaggerate.

But after listening to it, Emperor Zhenguang still frowned fiercely. He asked Gu Mingheng with a sullen face: "Is what you said true?"

Gu Mingheng nodded.

Emperor Zhenguang's face turned ugly. He slammed the memorial in his hand onto the table between the two of them and angrily said, "I think Ming Yuandu has lost his mind!"

"For that little bit of fame and status, he even ignored his own daughter!"

Of course, he didn't really feel sorry for the child from the Ming family.

However, his subjects, for the sake of reputation, even disregarded their own daughters. If anything happens in the future, I am afraid that they will not be completely fair and just.

The Cabinet is an important place, and like the Imperial Household Department, they are both his right-hand men.

He could allow Ming Yuandu to not have much ability, but he could not allow him to be incompetent and still fail to be fair.

Skills can be developed slowly.

But if a person's roots are bad, no matter how great his abilities are, it will be useless.

He just gave up on this matter.

"never mind."

He didn't mention it again. After thinking about it, he still felt unhappy. He didn't want to suffer the loss of Nanzhili for the second time. He turned around and said to Zhongning, "Find a time to tell Li Shunchun not to put all these messy people in front of me!"

This clearly shows his dissatisfaction with the Marquis of Anyuan.

Zhongning didn't dare to say more and quickly nodded his head.

……

Here the two brothers were eating and talking.

Ming Jingheng had just finished handing over his shift to someone else. He had already learned from the eunuch what his father had said, and planned to go to the Imperial Hospital before leaving the palace to bring the imperial physician with him before returning home.

Ming Jingheng is young and promising.

He is not only the most outstanding among the current Yulin Guards and the most promising candidate to become the next commander, but also the only heir to the Anyuan Marquisate and the next Anyuan Marquis.

In the capital, he is a popular talent.

I wonder how many noble ladies would want him to be their son-in-law.

Not to mention that he was handsome and gentle in character, and was one of the most wanted candidates for marriage among the noble ladies in the capital, often even ranked first.

Even Princess Ancheng in the palace liked him very much.

At this time, Ming Jingheng, dressed in casual clothes, was walking along the palace road towards the Imperial Hospital. He was good-looking, having inherited Zhou Zhaoru's good looks and Ming Yuandu's calm temperament.

The setting sun fell on him.

The golden sunlight made him look even more handsome.

When the palace maids passing by saw this, they all blushed and greeted Ming Jingheng warmly, and Ming Jingheng naturally responded to their greetings.

But he did not stop, nor did he pay much attention to the palace maids.

The duty room of the Yulin Guard is not far from the Imperial Medical Bureau. After turning two corners and following a small path, you will reach the Imperial Medical Bureau.

The eunuchs who knew him saw him come in and greeted him with a smile.

Ming Jingheng also agreed to all of them with a smile.

"My father reported this to His Majesty earlier, asking me to invite the imperial physician."

Ming Jingheng explained the purpose of his visit.

The eunuch from the Imperial Hospital laughed when he heard this and said, "We are waiting for you to come."

The young eunuch smiled and said something to Ming Jingheng, and asked Ming Jingheng to wait: "Please wait a moment, my lord. I will go and ask Dr. Lu to come out for you."

Ming Jingheng nodded and said yes.

He didn't think much about this Imperial Doctor Lu.

Naturally, he would not think that it was Lu Shulan, the judge of Lu Yuan. He was a little surprised in his heart. Ming Jingheng always felt that the little eunuch was a little too polite today.

But he didn't think too much.

Watching the eunuch go in, he waited quietly in the courtyard of the Imperial Hospital.

The Imperial Medical Bureau and the Imperial Kitchen are always the busiest places in the palace, one is responsible for food, and the other is responsible for the health.

The masters and servants in the palace all depended on the Imperial Hospital for treatment even when they were injured. Because of this, the people in the Imperial Hospital, although not of high rank, had a high status in the palace.

Especially people like Lu Shulan, the former Lu Yuanpan, most people have to flatter and respect him.

Ming Jingheng waited quietly.

But in my mind I kept thinking about the words that my father had sent to me.

Although he had known for a long time that his younger sister had been found, Ming Jingheng was still a little dazed when he heard that she had really returned.

It's like a dream.

Ever since that day when he learned that his younger sister was still alive and even remembered them, Ming Jingheng was very excited. He wished he could go to Yingzhou in person to bring his younger sister back.

But the mission of Yulin Guard cannot be interrupted, and his parents will never agree to it.

Ming Jingheng could only settle for the second best and wait in the capital.

But this period of waiting was not easy.

Especially a while ago, Mother Zhou and others wrote a letter home, telling about what little sister had gone through over the years... Ming Jingheng felt very sad whenever he thought about the hardships his little sister had endured over the years.

He kept blaming himself.

If he had gone out with his mother and the others back then.

If he had taken good care of his little sister, would these things not have happened?

Ming Jingheng was very confused and didn't know how to face his younger sister now.

Will my younger sister blame him or them?

After the younger sister comes back, can their family still be the same as before?

And Yaoyao——

What should Yaoyao do in the future?

Although Yaoyao is not his biological sister, the companionship and interaction they have had over the years are not fake.

He also already regarded Yaoyao as his sister.

He was lost in thought.

Suddenly, a voice came from the front: "My Lord, Doctor Lu is here, let's go."

Ming Jingheng came to his senses immediately.

When he looked up and saw who was coming, he was stunned again.

"Lu Yuanpan?"

He looked at the serious middle-aged man in front of him with shock.

Ming Jingheng never thought that the imperial physician Lu mentioned by the young eunuch just now would actually be Lu Shulan, the judge of the court.

Who is the Lu Yuanpan?

The head of the Imperial Medical Bureau usually only sees His Majesty and the Empress.

"How could it be you?"

Ming Jingheng was shocked and couldn't help but exclaim.

Lu Shulan didn't say much. She just glanced at him calmly and walked straight out.

The young eunuch hurriedly followed with the medicine box.

Before leaving, he remembered to call out to Ming Jingheng: "Prince, hurry up and follow me."

"Ah, yes."

Ming Jingheng finally reacted and hurriedly followed.

The group set out from the Imperial Hospital, left from Xihua Gate, got on the carriage that had been prepared long ago, and left the palace.

Ming Jingheng was still a little dazed until he sat on his horse.

He never thought that he would be able to ask this judge. It was not until he turned from the imperial road to the official road, and there were more pedestrians and carriages around, as well as all kinds of shouting and hawking, that Ming Jingheng gradually regained his consciousness.

do not care.

There are not many people who can make Lu Yuanpan come out of retirement.

Besides, this matter was approved by His Majesty.

Although he didn't know why His Majesty did this, Ming Jingheng was too lazy to think about it. With Lu Yuanpan around, he didn't have to worry about his younger sister's scar.

Thinking of this, Ming Jingheng smiled again.

He stood guard beside Lu Shulan's carriage.

Until I heard a shout from afar -

"I'm selling hawthorns. Frosted hawthorns. Are there any gentlemen or ladies who want some?"

Ming Jingheng looked over subconsciously.

Frosted hawthorn was my little sister’s favorite snack in the past.

He followed the carriage, but his mind was completely attracted by the frosted hawthorn.

When they were about to pass by the peddler, Ming Jingheng finally tightened the reins and discussed with Lu Shulan in the carriage beside him: "Lord Lu."

The curtains did not move.

There was only an emotionless "hmm" coming from inside.

"My little sister likes to eat frosted hawthorn. I want to buy some for her to take back. She hasn't had the snacks from the capital for a long time." Ming Jingheng said respectfully to Lu Shulan in the carriage.

Lu Shulan's voice came from the carriage again: "Go."

If Ming Jingheng listened carefully, he would be able to feel that Lu Shulan's voice at this moment was obviously much gentler than before.

I heard the young man's voice outside, which did not conceal his joy.

Not a moment.

The sound of horse hooves leaving.

Lu Shulan lifted the car curtain and looked out.

Watching the young man riding his horse towards the peddler without looking back, and seeing him carefully selecting hawthorns, Lu Shulan recalled the instructions that the person had asked him to bring, and his stern brows softened a little.

It seems that person can rest assured now.

Not everyone in the Anyuan Marquis's Mansion is a bastard.
