Madam Mu brewed two cups of tea, looked at the dusty father and son, handed them the tea, and said, "It's time for lunch. Why are you all here?"

Mu Sinian looked at Mu Luan, then at his wife, took the tea and drank it all, and said, "I just came back from the office, and as soon as I entered the door, I heard the servants report that Yao'er had woken up, so we came to see her."

"That's right, Yaoyao's illness scared everyone." Mu Luoheng took the teacup, gently stroked the rim of the cup with his fingertips, and touched Mu Luan's head with pity.

Mu Luan had a faint smile on her face and felt warm in her heart.

It feels so good to have family caring about you.

"Oh, right," Mu Luoheng suddenly remembered an important thing, "I have been weak since I was young. In recent years, I have been looking for a wandering doctor. It is said that the doctor has great medical skills. Any patient who has been treated by him, even if he has only one breath left, can be alive and kicking under his diagnosis and treatment."

"So amazing!"

Mu Qingyu half leaned on the table, playing with the Saker Falcon in his hand. Upon hearing this, he came forward curiously and said, "That itinerant doctor is either a god or a charlatan."

Mu Sinian looked at his youngest son with some approval in his eyes, and said jokingly: "You should be more careful when it comes to the mysterious and mysterious things in the martial arts world."

Mu Qingyu touched the back of his head and said awkwardly: "Isn't this related to Yaoyao? How can I not take it seriously!"

Mu Sinian said: "There are many strange things in the world. Maybe there really are such talented people in the world."

Then he looked at Mu Luoheng again, "From what you said, do you have any news about the itinerant doctor?"

Mu Luoheng nodded slightly and said, "There is news. I heard that there have been traces of the traveling doctor in the Jiangnan area recently."

"Then what are you waiting for? I will personally send Yaoyao to Jiangnan," Mu Qingyu seemed to be energized and immediately asked for permission to protect the emperor.

Mu Sinian knew that his youngest son was playful and was so eager to charge into battle. Firstly, he really wanted to find the traveling doctor for his youngest daughter.

Secondly, I might have heard about the talented people and beautiful scenery of Jiangnan and wanted to go there for a visit.

But given his erratic personality, I really don't feel comfortable handing my little daughter over to him.

While she was considering this, Madam Mu said, "We finally found out the whereabouts of the traveling doctor. We should go and see him no matter what. I will go with Yao'er."

Mu Sinian nodded and said, "This is the safest way. Thank you for your help, Madam."

Everyone was planning on leaving for Jiangnan, and no one noticed that Mu Luan's expression had changed slightly.

In the previous life, it was because I went to Jiangnan that I was unable to stop my father and brother from going north in time.

Strangely enough, the small countries on the border of the Great Zhou have always been peaceful and rarely cause trouble.

My father and brother led troops to Mobei to drive out the very few rebellious soldiers and to strengthen border defenses.

But no one expected that just an ordinary patrol post would be swallowed up by a mere captive country with 100,000 cavalry led by my father.

Not only did my father and elder brother die in a foreign land, they were also eventually convicted by the imperial court and dismissed from their posts and investigated.

The majestic and prosperous general's mansion was reduced to a nest of guilty ants overnight.

This time, she must not repeat the same mistake and let the Mu family fall into disaster again.

Mu Luan made up his mind, raised his eyes and said seriously: "I won't go to Jiangnan."

Mu Luan raised her voice slightly, which stunned everyone present. Mu Sinian frowned and asked softly, "Why don't you go, my dear girl?"

Mrs. Mu also looked puzzled. She held Mu Luan's hand again in her palm and touched Mu Luan's forehead again.

She didn't seem to have a fever, so I thought she was scared and comforted her, "Don't worry, Mom will always be with you."

Mu Luan shook her head and said, "I won't go to see him," because she couldn't see him.

There is no trace of that traveling doctor in Jiangnan at all.

In my previous life, I waited for three months in Jiangnan, but in the end, I didn’t even see the shadow of the traveling doctor.

Mu Luan took a deep breath, held A Niang's hand, and smiled, saying, "Itinerant doctors are unpredictable. The journey to Jiangnan is long, and no one can guarantee that they will be able to see itinerant doctors when they arrive there."

"It's so hard to find a cure for your illness. We should give it a try."

Mu Luoheng looked at Mu Luan's still somewhat sickly face, and his tone became noticeably more serious.

Mu Qingyu echoed and also thought that they should go to Jiangnan.

Mu Luan said in a gentle tone, "I know you are concerned about me. Why don't you send someone to Jiangnan to investigate first? If we are sure that the traveling doctor is in Jiangnan, it won't be too late for us to set off, so as to avoid believing the wrong news and getting tired from the long journey."

As he spoke, Mu Luan raised his hand and supported his forehead, as if he didn't want to take even one more step.

Considering that her body was indeed not suitable for long-distance travel, everyone could only compromise with regret and make other arrangements after the itinerant doctor's route was determined.

After lunch, Mu Luan just got up and was about to go back to her boudoir with the help of her maid. At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps was heard in the courtyard.

Mu Luan stopped curiously.

The butler trotted to the dining hall door and reported, "General, something happened."

Mu Sinian frowned slightly and asked, "What's going on?"

The housekeeper said, "Three orphans and a widow came to the gate of the mansion, carrying a corpse, and said they wanted to see the general."

Everyone's eyes fell on Mu Sinian. Mu Luoheng looked at the housekeeper and asked, "Did you say who it was?"

The housekeeper said: "The people who came claimed to be Qiao Fugui's wife and children, and the bodies were Qiao Fugui's."

"Qiao Fugui", Mu Sinian repeated the name silently. It sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

It was Mu Luoheng who first remembered, and said in a clear voice: "Father, I know this man. In the assassination three years ago... He had made military achievements and was later promoted to the seventh rank Yihui general."

Mu Luoheng deliberately lowered his voice. After all, the emperor had ordered that no one should talk about the assassination that year.

Mu Sinian suddenly understood what was going on when he heard this. He still remembered the large-scale assassination three years ago vividly.

That year, when the emperor was assassinated during the autumn hunt, he led the royal guards to protect him at all costs. In previous years, the hunting grounds were heavily guarded and on high alert.

But that year, a spy infiltrated the Imperial Guards and collaborated with the assassins to kill him by surprise.

In order to ensure the safety of the emperor, he led the emperor to escape into the dense forest path alone, and accidentally met a young and strong soldier, Qiao Fugui.

At that time, he was seriously injured and had to take off the token from his waist and give it to Qiao Fugui, asking him to return to Beijing to dispatch the imperial guards.

Qiao Fugui lived up to the mission and made great contributions in saving the emperor. Later, the emperor promoted him to the rank of seventh-rank General Yihui.

I originally thought that this man was honest and had made great contributions, so he must be a good candidate to lead troops in battle.

But the good times did not last long. This man was not only addicted to gambling, but also addicted to alcohol, and repeatedly disobeyed orders in the military camp.

Considering the mistakes he had made, his death was not a pity, but Mu Sinian, remembering that he had saved the emperor, ordered him to be beaten with twenty sticks and expelled from the camp.
