As soon as he returned to the capital, he turned on the case entanglement mode again, and Lu Daxia felt used to it despite his grief and indignation. It is smarter to solve the case, so as not to be confused when he gets old.

However, although this case is imminent, this year must be lived well. The three of them walked around in the imperial garden, and they could hear the busy movements in the palace.

"By the way, big brother, why did the emperor suddenly think about the draft?" Hua Manlou was standing in front of a Xuehai Palace powder, the red plums were even more red in the snow, and they were lively and fragrant.

Zhu Gui is 16 years old this year. Since last year, he has been persuaded by veterans to start preparing for the big wedding, but I heard that the little emperor has beaten those old men out, and usually spends most of the time in the crowd of crickets. Xiangfo doesn't care about him, but he is happy.

"At what age and what to do, you can't let him do whatever he wants." Hua Manshe and Lu Xiaofeng sat in the octagonal pavilion opposite each other, but they both looked at Qi Shao in the snow.

"Then why did he agree?" Lu Xiaofeng also asked, "Didn't he cry and yell not to get married before? Why did he suddenly compromise?"

"I have united thirteen ministers to write a letter, and it is well-founded, so what if he disagrees?" Mrs. Hua was gentle and domineering.

Lu Xiaofeng thought about the bad temper of the little emperor just now, and suddenly he knew why he was so irritable. He has a master who is too powerful, and he is really under control, even if you are the emperor.

Hua Manlou filled a small bottle with some snow water from plum blossoms, came over and sat beside his elder brother: "The emperor is the emperor after all, won't you make him feel that you are persecuting him? Companion to a king is like a tiger, brother It’s better to be careful.”

Hua Manshe brushed the snowflakes off his sleeves for him: "It's okay, as long as he knows I'm doing it for his own good." Then he changed the subject naturally, "Let's talk about you first, what is the letter from your second brother? Meaning, why must I eat and live with you, not leaving for a while?"

......Lu Xiaofeng choked on a sip of tea, this Second Master Hua is cruel enough!

A trace of helplessness flashed across Huamanlou's face: "It's the second brother who is too caring. I'm already my age. I know what to do, but he still cares so much."

"Your second brother cares about you. Do you think he is usually a nosy person? If it wasn't about your problems, why would he worry so much?" The elder brother of the Hua family is worthy of being a prince and a young man. It sounds half gentle and half serious, making people have to listen, "What's going on, your second brother's letter is unclear, but he used the word 'certainly', what's so serious?"

Hua Manlou didn't know what to say for a while, he didn't mean to hide it from his family, but there was no need to talk about this kind of thing everywhere, not to mention that the two of them hadn't made any substantive progress now, so it just happened naturally Seems good too.

"Master Hua." Seeing Hua Manlou's expression, Lu Xiaofeng knew what he was thinking, so he said by himself, "The day after tomorrow will be the New Year's Eve celebration, and you still need to preside over the ceremony of the Yuanzheng Conference, how about me and Hua Manlou first?" Go to investigate the Shaoyu Pavilion, if there is anything to do, we will talk about it when we go back to the mansion, what do you think?"

Hua Manshe had only met Lu Xiaofeng a few times, knew that he was her younger brother's friend and had no friendship, and it was not good to ask about her family in front of him, so she agreed: "That's fine, Daxia Lu, then trouble You are with your younger brother, and I will return home tomorrow afternoon."

Lu Xiaofeng, who was still at the stage of Lu Daxia, hurriedly accompanied the ceremony: "No trouble, no trouble, I enjoy it."

Seeing that the two of them were still getting along well, Hua Manlou felt more at ease.

Leaving the Imperial Garden and walking towards the Shaoyu Pavilion, the whole journey is full of joy, the white snow reflects the red silk lanterns, the colorful silk is light, and the atmosphere of the New Year is everywhere.Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou walked shoulder to shoulder, the passing court ladies and eunuchs raised their heads cautiously, then quickly lowered their heads.

"Your elder brother is quite nice." Lu Xiaofeng smiled at the maids, making them blush, while chatting with Huamanlou.

"My eldest brother became an official at the age of 15, and it has been 16 years. I haven't seen him many times, but my eldest brother is indeed a noble but approachable person, and he is also dedicated to the court." Speaking of his eldest brother, Hua Xiaodi is full of enthusiasm. Full of respect and love.

"I think he is doing his best to the little emperor. As the saying goes, one day is a teacher and life is a father. The empress dowager devotes herself to the Buddha. Your eldest brother still cares about his wife and children. You are really a courtier, and you are a slave." Father's heart."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Hua Manlou pinched it straight up, "This is in the palace, the walls have ears, if someone hears it, there will be another commotion."

"Then are you worried about me or your elder brother?" The grinning person who was pinched didn't give up, and came up to ask non-stop.

"What do you think?" Hua Qishao smiled.

"Hey, you have gone to the sea of ​​people that Young Master Qi cares about. If I want to climb to the number one position in your heart, I guess it will take me my whole life." Daxia Lu is indeed very self-aware.

"What about you?" Hua Manlou asked him back.

"What about me?" Lu Xiaofeng didn't understand.Hua Qishao didn't speak anymore, because they had already reached Xiyuan, and a strong smell of medicine was carried by the west wind.

Two closed doors separated the inside and the outside. Outside was the lively and joyous Chinese New Year atmosphere, but the gloomy clouds inside could be imagined. Seeing them coming, the eunuch guarding the gate was lazily squatting on the ground with his hands folded, looking up in a sulky mood. ask them who they are.Because both of them were in casual clothes, the little eunuch couldn't see their identities.

Hua Manlou took out his elder brother's token, and the little eunuch turned pale with fright, and hurriedly kowtowed for mercy.

"Get up, you don't need to kneel to us, we just want to go in and have a look." Hua Manlou raised his hand, there are naturally many such people who follow others, and he has no time to get angry with them.

"The nobleman wants to enter here?" The little eunuch trembled, bowed his waist and smiled, "there are some seriously ill people inside, so you can't enter, be careful not to hurt your body."

"It's okay, we're just looking for someone, the emperor has agreed." Hua Manlou said patiently.

As soon as he heard about the emperor, the little eunuch didn't dare to talk any more, opened the door quickly, and invited him in respectfully.As soon as he opened the door, there were a few emaciated court ladies in ragged clothes running out, obviously they had been locked up for a long time, the little eunuch beat them back with a bamboo board in his hand, and then continued to push them back, yelling at them to go back to the house You are not allowed to come out, and you will lead the way for Lu Hua and the others.

Seeing Hua ManLou go in, Lu XiaoFeng was still thinking about his question just now.Could it be that Hua Manlou is not as casual as he appears, but actually cares about his position in his heart?

Well, I missed another chance to confess my love. Why did I lose my mind a few times when I was in front of Hua Manlou?If you just answered a question that there is no need to climb up, you are the only one in your heart, and you are very safe, maybe you can go in arm in arm now.

What a pity, what a pity.

It looks like it hasn’t been repaired for a long time. The courtyard is very big, and there are patients lying everywhere, coughing or groaning. In an instant, the fresh and pleasant scene in the imperial garden suddenly changed to the unbearable desolation at this moment.

Nothing in this world can be simply beautiful, but it depends on the surrounding environment and characters.The chameleon takes the initiative to protect itself, but the broken beauty is forced.

Seeing Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou coming in, some of those people cast curious glances; some eagerly wanted to rush over to find a trace of life; some were indifferent, as if they were already walking dead.

"Some of their illnesses are not incurable, but if they are treated well, they can be cured one day." Hua Manlou sighed.

"There's no way, the nobles in this palace are too delicate to be sick." Lu Xiaofeng said with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, but he also made a fair evaluation, "But there is no way, once a disease breaks out in the palace, it's not a trivial matter. , had no choice but to kill at the source."

"This way."

Suppressing this topic, Lu Xiaofeng saw a little eunuch squatting at the base of the wall and drawing something on the wall under the cold corner, so he dragged Hua Manlou over, wanting to ask him about the haunting.

As a result, the little eunuch turned around and startled Master Lu.

The little eunuch does not look too old, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, his immature face is covered with a piece of cloth to cover his nose and mouth, but his exposed forehead is full of herpes. Fortunately, it is not festered in winter, but each one is like a soybean. The size of the blisters is also scary enough.

"What are you doing?" Lu Xiaofeng first took Hua Manlou back a step, this disease is contagious, better be careful.

The little eunuch's eyes were small, but he was very energetic. He sized up the two of them carefully, and finally his gaze fell on Hua Manlou's face, and he suddenly said crisply, "I've seen you!"

Lu and Hua were surprised at first, Huamanlou didn't often enter the palace, how could the little eunuch have seen him?

"No, it's not you." The little eunuch looked carefully for a while, then shook his head in denial, "That person looks bigger than you, and looks more kind."

Hua Manlou knew who he was talking about: "Have you met my elder brother? What's your name, and which palace did you work in?"

The little eunuch suddenly realized: "It turned out to be that person's younger brother." Then he answered Hua Manlou's question, "My name is De'an, and it turned out that I was sweeping the floor on the palace road outside the Qianqing Palace!"

Listening to him, Lu Xiaofeng spoke one by one, and did not claim to be a villain. It seems that he has not been in the palace for a long time, and he was assigned to the emperor's court probably because of his clever looks. Chance. "Why do you call Mrs. Hua that person?" He knelt down to look at the pimples on De'an's face, and took his pulse while asking.

De'an didn't let him directly touch his wrist, and dodged back. Lu Xiaofeng signaled him that it's okay, and then he stretched out his arm again, his eyes flickering: "Are you his younger brother too? But you don't look like him. Like. He was a good man, and the imperial physicians said they were going to burn me to death, but he saved me."

Lu Xiaofeng chuckled, turned his head to look at Huamanlou, and said with deep meaning: "I really want to be his younger brother, but I don't know when my wish will come true."

Hua Manlou blushed, resisting the urge to pinch someone.

"He speaks so nicely, and you are also very handsome. If you ask him more, he will definitely agree." De'an offered a move for Daxia Lu.

"Okay!" Lu Xiaofeng was amused by Dean's teasing, and he slapped his knees to make a decision, "Just for your words, I'll take care of your illness for you!"

De'an was surprised and delighted.

"Will the emperor agree?" Hua Manlou was worried, after all, the chickenpox was not serious, and although De'an seemed to be in good condition, since it was Chinese New Year, if something went wrong, he would inevitably be blamed.

"It's okay, let's find an empty house for him to live in first, so we can ask him about the situation here." Although Lu Xiaofeng is not good at medicine, judging from his pulse just now, he can be saved.

"You want to know what's going on here?" De'an got up suddenly, and ran into a house in the south with his arms swaying. After a while, he pulled out another eunuch who was a few years older than him, and pushed him in front of Lu Hua and the two of them, "This It's my friend, he has lived here for seven years, can you take us with you?"

De'an's voice was bright, and other people in the yard had already started to look here.

"De'an, who are they?" This friend didn't look as innocent as little De'an, he stared at the two men with a wary face, his cold eyes were like a mouse hiding in the dark, but it's no wonder, He stayed in this uninhabited place for seven years, and it was understandable that he would become like this. Just now, he saw a few people who were insane playing crazy.

"Want to go out?" Lu Xiaofeng asked him.

The man's face was blue, even his mouth was gray, his lips squirmed, and he uttered two words: "I don't want to."

Lu Xiaofeng was slightly surprised, but then he felt relieved, it didn't take much effort, it seemed that this person really knew something, otherwise he would have the opportunity to go out, why would he refuse so directly?It seemed that this place was a place of refuge for him.

Naturally, Hua Manlou also thought about this incident, and beckoned the gatekeeper eunuch to come over, "We took these two people away, please ask the eunuch in charge here to record it, and I will naturally explain to the emperor."

"Brother Pingan, we can go out now!" De'an was really excited at this moment, he didn't dare to touch anyone, so he jumped up on the spot by himself.

"Dean? Safe?" Lu Xiaofeng smiled, "You two are destined."

Ping An glanced at him coldly, still keeping his expression on the ground, but his gloomy expression revealed his nervousness at the moment.But judging from the scene where he stopped De'an behind him, he really cared about this little brother.

Lu Xiaofeng was not in a hurry to ask him, anyway, the matter was in his mind, and he couldn't escape whenever he asked.

After walking a long way out of the Xiangxiang Pavilion, Hua Manlou looked back again.

"When we find out what's going on here, we can take this opportunity to propose to the little emperor that we can save some people's lives by classifying and managing the patients in the Quniao Pavilion. Take your time." Lu Xiaofeng knew his worry.

"This is a big matter that consumes manpower and financial resources." Hua Manlou knew the difficulty, otherwise, according to his elder brother's temperament, he would not sit idly by.He was not of such a clumsy nature, and he didn't mean to blame anyone, he just couldn't bear it.

"I know." Lu Xiaofeng squeezed his fan, "We can ask Mo Daowan for help! The Tai Hospital is short of manpower, and he has a lot of disciples, so it's okay to do a good deed."

Hua Manlou finally smiled: "This idea is really good."

De'an and Ping An were walking in front, and couldn't help turning their heads to listen to what they were talking about. Scratching the little pea on his forehead, De'an whispered to Ping An: "Brother Ping An, they are really good people."

While pulling his hand down to prevent him from scratching, Pingan scolded in a low voice: "What good and bad people, you are still young, don't just believe what other people say!"

"But I will believe what Brother Pingan says. Could it be that Brother Pingan is also a bad person?" De'an is indeed young, and he doesn't understand why Pingan said that.

"There are no absolutely good people in this world." Ping'an's cheeks seemed to be flushed twice because of anger, and he looked at the front of the long palace road, as if he was teaching De'an, and he seemed to be telling himself, "Everyone is selfish." , I will only think of myself at all times, even if it requires the blood and lives of others."

De'an was taken aback by his appearance, and he didn't dare to speak again, but secretly said in his heart: I won't do this, as long as Brother Ping'an can feel at ease, I can do anything.

In the Suan Pavilion, the gatekeeper eunuch knocked on a room at the farthest corner of the courtyard, and reported without daring to lift his head: "Eunuch Hua, the emperor has sent someone to take him away in peace." There was no sound, and the eunuch who guarded the gate waited for a while before going out with his head down again, apparently already used to this.

"Hehe, you're leaving?" An old and thin voice sounded after he had left. The two muttered words seemed to be questioning, but they had no deep meaning. They flew out quietly like two black bats. Leaving the Shaoxiang Pavilion, he followed De'an and left the palace safely.
