The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

Xue Mingyue felt anxious and walked quickly into the house.

During this period of time in Zhuangzi, she almost walked back and forth between three rooms every day without moving anywhere, but she was so bored that she wanted to go out and walk around for a long time.

"Qingshuang! Why are you walking so fast?"

Lu Fang was dumbfounded as he watched her walking faster and faster.

Xue Mingyue didn't look back and didn't stop until she reached the door of the house. She came at just the right time. Liu Xing had just fried the medicine and brought it over. She took the tray and turned back to Lu Fang and said:

"The old gentleman and I have something to talk about. Master Lu, please wait outside for a while."

Lu Fang: "?"

No, what do you and the mountain chief have to talk about?

Just as he was about to follow him, Liu Yun, Liu Xing and other guards immediately stopped him in front of the door. Lu Fang was so angry that he had not seen such a scene these days.

If the doctor dares to stay here, he can offer it to heaven, right?

As soon as Xue Mingyue entered the room, she took off her snow-white cloak and put it aside.

Lou Zhizhang was leaning on the bedside, still holding a book in his hand and reading. When he saw her, he chuckled and said, "I seemed to hear Xiao Lu's voice. Did you make him angry again?"

"I just asked him to wait outside the door. How could I make him angry?"

Xue Mingyue simply felt that she was more unjust than Dou E.

She couldn't help but defend herself: "It's obvious that he has a bad temper. I'm so busy every day, and I'm not a wealthy idler like him. He always comes over to me when I'm busy, and he's still angry when I ignore him. .”

The key is that if he is sulking alone, forget it. When this person gets angry, he will keep talking in your ear.

Xue Mingyue has never seen anyone more nagging than him. He talked so much that her ears almost became calluses.

Lou Zhizhang couldn't help laughing.

The smile on her face faded when she brought the medicine over. Even if she drank it every day, she couldn't get used to it. He drank the medicine with a grimace, and then said: "The situation in the capital has changed. ."

Xue Mingyue came here for this reason, so she quickly urged him to continue.

"Ling Su said that the price of food in the capital has not changed much, and we have bought all the medicinal materials you requested. However, the situation in the capital seems to be even more chaotic than half a month ago. It is better not to go back if you can."

"Chaotic? How much more chaotic can it be?"

She felt a little surprised and her eyes widened slightly.

With Xie Lang stirring up trouble in the capital, the situation was already in chaos. Every time she received a letter, she would look to see who was arrested by the guards and sent to prison. This was all Xie Lang's doing.

Lou Zhizhang shook his head and nodded: "Prince."

Xue Mingyue's eyes suddenly twitched.

When it comes to the prince, there is probably nothing else besides the fight for the heir apparent.

He said: "The second prince was taken to the sky prison by the imperial guards a few days ago and has not been released yet. Ling Su said that the only people who have interrogated the second prince so far are Mr. Xie Xiaohou and Lord Lian."

Xue Mingyue was startled: "Didn't His Majesty imprison him in the mansion before?"

Lou Zhizhang said: "There must be a new discovery, and I'm afraid it has something to do with the young marquis. Previously, His Majesty was unwilling to let him interfere with the affairs of the second prince, but now he has handed over the matter to him."

What happened, the news was kept closely guarded.

Even his friends in the court couldn't get any news. It was obvious that it was definitely not a simple matter.

For Emperor Jingping to make up his mind to hand over the second prince to Xie Lang, the implications involved were not just a matter of His Majesty's face. There must be something important that made him do this.

Xue Mingyue slowly raised her eyebrows and quickly searched for relevant things in her memory.

But the current development has been completely out of her memory. She can't think of what will happen in the capital, so she can only say: "Then we won't go to the capital next, and it won't implicate us."

At this point, she paused and looked at Lou Zhizhang warily.

"Grandpa, if you want to do something, you can no longer hide it from me. We can discuss everything. I have grown up and am no longer the child who needed you to protect me."

Lou Zhizhang's expression became softer after hearing this.

He couldn't help but laugh: "Grandpa, you will always be a child in your heart. Don't worry, I will definitely not act without permission next time, okay?"

Xue Mingyue snorted twice, that's pretty much it.

"By the way, there is something else I need to tell you," Lou Zhizhang looked at her expression and shook his head in amusement, "Ling Su is going to join the Dingyuan Army and will leave in the next two days."

Hearing this, Xue Mingyue was stunned for a moment.

She blinked twice before reacting, and asked quickly: "Why is it so sudden? Isn't it hard to rush to Northern Xinjiang in this weather?"

The weather will get colder and colder, and the road will be difficult to travel in winter.

And since Ling Su wants to go there, he must be riding a horse. The further north the wind and frost get, the colder the wind and frost will become. If it gets really serious, his face and hands may be chapped.

Lou Zhizhang rolled up the book and tapped her on the head: "Surmitting to the army is not easy. Once he has made up his mind, it doesn't matter to him when to set off. Besides, it is the best time to set off. "

"Barbarians invade the border every winter. Ling Su can make a lot of military exploits by rushing over."

Xue Mingyue opened her mouth. What grandpa said made sense.

This year, barbarians from the northern grasslands have invaded the border much more often than before. With Ling Su's martial arts, he will surely be able to earn rising military merits soon. This is really a good opportunity for him.

"Grandpa, you said that our Central Plains were caught off guard by the cold wave, so the grassland should be even more serious, right?"

Lou Zhizhang's eyes darkened, and he sighed and shook his head: "I'm afraid they have already set their sights on us, just like before, every winter they would rob people of food near the border."

They rode on horseback, robbed the food in a ferocious manner and left.

When the border defenders received the news and arrived, there was no way to catch up, so the food could only be lost.

Such small frictions occur many times at the border, almost every year. According to the news he just received, the damage on the grassland side is estimated to be more serious than they expected.

I'm afraid a big war is unavoidable this year.

It's just His Majesty's idea...

Lou Zhizhang didn't say any more, he just chuckled and said, "Ling Su is leaving soon, why don't you go help him pack his luggage?"

Xue Mingyue had just been thinking about the war at the border, and then he remembered this incident when he heard these words: "It's just right for him to take the facial ointment I made these days to avoid frostbite on his face when he rides too fast."

"Grandpa, I'll leave first. I'll ask Lu Fang to accompany you."

With that said, she turned around and walked out.

Lu Fang waited outside for a long time but no one came out. When he saw her, he immediately walked forward. Unexpectedly, Xue Mingyue turned her body, pushed her in, and said, "Mr., wait inside." I’m looking for you, go quickly.”

Lu Fang sighed and couldn't help but ask: "What are you going to do in such a hurry? I'll go with you."

Xue Mingyue waved her hand: "No, I have something to do with Ling Su."
