Meng Qianqian had another question in her mind, which was who revealed the King of Chu's life experience to the prince?

Could it be Prime Minister Xun?

The epidemic in the palace spread over a small area, mainly concentrated in the Zhuanghe Hall of the retired emperor.

Since the retired emperor never summoned any concubines after returning to the palace, the ladies in the harem escaped the disaster.

Princess Wanping and Zong Zhengxi were not infected, but the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince were infected with the disease and almost died.

Meng Qianqian entered the palace in May, and it was already June, the height of summer, when she finished treating the last patient with the epidemic.

"I will be able to go home soon. I won't have to stay in the palace with an old man like me anymore."

The emperor sat cross-legged on the futon and placed a white piece on the chessboard.

Meng Qianqian dropped a black piece: "It is Xiaojiu's blessing to serve the emperor."

The Emperor said, "Everyone says so, but no one thinks so. I don't want to get off the stage anymore. Go and call Fudequan over, and I will go with him."

Meng Qianqian sighed seriously, "Oh, every time I'm about to lose I cheat."

After the court session, Lu Yuan came to Zhuanghe Hall to pick up Meng Qianqian.

Meng Qianqian packed her bags and went to say goodbye to the emperor.

Eunuch Fu smiled and left the room, saying to Meng Qianqian, "The emperor has gone to bed, so I shouldn't have said these things, or I'll lose my status as Madam Lu."

Meng Qianqian said: "Eunuch Fu, you are an old man beside the emperor, and I respect you as an elder in my heart."

Eunuch Fu was flattered: "Mrs. Lu, you are too kind to me! I just want to say that you have been very busy these days, treating the emperor and us servants. If you don't think our lives are worthless, you should save as many as you can..."

Meng Qianqian said sternly: "All things have spirits, all people have lives, and there is no distinction between the important and the unimportant."

Eunuch Fu looked at Meng Qianqian with emotion and personally escorted Meng Qianqian out of Zhuanghe Palace.

Meng Qianqian has lost a lot of weight recently. One reason is that she is too busy, and the other is that the weather is too hot and she has a hard time eating.

Lu Yuan also lost some weight.

This month has not been easy for everyone.

In addition, maybe it was because they hadn't spent enough time together, or because of the kiss they made as part of the bet, but they both felt a little awkward when they met again.

"Where are Qingshuang and Yu Zichuan?"

Meng Qianqian asked.

I went to eat melons. The melons in the palace were bigger and more numerous, and more fragrant than those from the Lu family.

Lu Yuan said calmly: "Don't wait for them, they will go back by themselves in a while."

The two walked side by side.

Meng Qianqian added: "I wonder how the old lady and Baoshu are doing."

Lu Yuan said: "I heard from Manager Cen that everything is fine."

Lu Yuan did not return home during this month and stayed in the palace to avoid the spread of the disease.

Meng Qianqian smiled and said, "That's good."

Then, there were no more words.

Meng Qianqian was secretly annoyed. How could a chat turn out like this?

Were they this awkward before?

Ever since that night, something seemed different.

"We're here, get in the carriage."

Lu Yuan reminded.

She kept walking with her head down, and I didn't know what she was thinking about. If I didn't remind her, I was afraid she would end up hitting her head like I did that day.

Meng Qianqian said "oh" and got on the carriage.

As soon as he sat down, he thought of something and immediately jumped down and said to Lu Yuan, "Grand Commander, please come in."

That's right, their marriage was fake and she was his lackey.

Meng Qianqian let out a long sigh and was no longer embarrassed.

Lu Yuan glanced at her and got into the carriage with a cold face.

Meng Qianqian muttered, "Is it that serious? Didn't you just forget your identity for a moment and get angry?"

The palace is not a place to talk, and Meng Qianqian never had the chance to tell Lu Yuan about her conversation with the emperor that night.

I originally wanted to tell him in the carriage, but he had a cold face and I really didn't know how I had offended him.

Never mind, he should have known that a long time ago.

Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at the Governor's Mansion.

As soon as the two got off the carriage, Nanny Li and Banxia came to greet them, one holding mugwort and the other holding a basin.

Nanny Li dipped the wormwood in her hand into the basin of water with Pinellia ternata, and then began to exorcise the evil spirits for Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan: "Exorcise evil spirits and ward off disasters, keep you healthy and have wealth, have a good year, and have nothing to worry about!"

The two were sprinkled with mugwort water.

Nanny Li nodded with satisfaction and waved towards the mansion.

Wu Geer brought out a brazier and said with a smile, "Miss, uncle, please step over the brazier!"

Lu Yuan signaled Meng Qianqian to cross first.

Meng Qianqian is quick to follow advice.

After jumping over the fire basin, Nanny Li took out two amulets that she had obtained from the temple.

Banxia put down the basin, took out a amulet and tied it around Meng Qianqian's waist.

When there was only one left, Meng Qianqian said, "Let me do it."

She personally put the amulet on Lu Yuan.

"Madame Li, are you alright?"

Tan'er was extremely anxious inside the door.

Madam Li smiled and said, "All right, all right."

"Hehe, sister!"

Tan Er Ruyan threw herself into Meng Qianqian's arms. She wrapped her arms around Meng Qianqian's waist and pressed her head against her chest: "Sister, you've lost weight!"

Meng Qianqian curled the corners of her lips and touched her head: "Let me see, has Tan'er grown taller?"

Tan Er immediately stood up to show off: "I've grown taller!"

Banxia used her thumb and index finger to make a tiny gap: "It's only this long!"

Tan Er folded her arms: "That's also long!"

Nanny Li had a headache: "Alright, you two can quarrel later. It's so hot, let the young lady and the son-in-law go in first."

The group went to the main courtyard.

"Is it the young lady and the uncle?"

When Nanny Wan heard the footsteps outside, she quickly dropped the half-washed clothes and walked out of the yard in small steps, "Oh! Really! What did I say? I watch it eight hundred times a day, there must be one time that I can look forward to!"

She bowed to the two of them excitedly, "Miss, son-in-law, you are finally back! The water is on the boil and the food is ready. Do you want to take a bath first or eat first?"

Lu Yuan looked a little dazed.

Meng Qianqian gently pulled his sleeve and said, "Madame Wan, please give me your instructions."

Lu Yuan hummed: "Are you hungry?"

Meng Qianqian said: "Not too hungry, how about you?"

Lu Yuan said: "Then take a bath first."

When he left the Governor's Mansion before, it was as cold as a haunted house. But since when, more and more people in the mansion were looking forward to his return, and it really felt like a home.

After they had bathed and changed their clothes, they hurried to Tinglan Courtyard to meet the old lady and Baoshu.

Dusk is sinking.

It's time to close the city gates again.

Suddenly, a group of horses and chariots dressed in foreign costumes arrived at the foot of the city.

The guards stopped them and said, "The gates are about to close. If you want to enter the city, come back tomorrow."

The leading man showed a token.

"The Governor's Mansion?" The guard was shocked.

The token in the other party's hand was real, but the way these people were dressed made it obvious that they were not from Central Plains.

The guard calmed himself down and said with courage: "Please show us your ivory cards and customs documents."

The man handed the ivory plate and the document to the guard.

The guard flipped it open and took a look: "Miaojiang? Who are you to Commander Lu?"

This concerns General Lu, so we must be careful and cautious.

"It's none of your business! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kill you!"

"Ali, don't be so fierce. We are here to be guests, not to eat people."

A woman's soft voice could be heard from the carriage.

All the guards held their breath. What kind of woman was this, with such a gentle and beautiful voice?

The woman smiled at the guards through the shadowy jade curtain and said, "We are the family of General Lu."

The guard took a startled look, lowered his eyes quickly, took a deep breath and said, "Grand Admiral Lu has no family."

"Oh?" The woman smiled, "Then please tell him that his mother is waiting for him at the city gate."

Everything is slowly getting better, keep asking for double the monthly tickets, love you guys, crab steps and love you guys.
