In order to fulfill his promise, Jing Shiyue left Lu Mansion very early. He had to go back to organize the information and also go to the Imperial Medical Bureau to copy medicinal recipes.

Tianlu Pavilion, passed down through successive royal families, was the place where the State of Qi stored the largest and most complete collection of medical books.

In addition, the nobles in the palace are accustomed to diet therapy, so some commonly used medicinal diet recipes are open, and it is better to copy them directly than to create them from scratch.

He left home too early and ran into Duke Lu who was preparing to go to court.

"Xiao Jing, where are you going? I'll have someone arrange a carriage for you."

Duke Lu drew aside the curtain and stuck his head out of the car window.

"No need, Duke. I can walk just as well. The Imperial Medical Bureau is not far from here."

Jing Shiyue shook his head and rejected the other party's kindness.

In order to prevent Duke Lu from forcibly sending someone to escort him, he had no choice but to turn around and walk towards the Imperial Medical Bureau with his medicine box.

He had just slept with someone else's daughter and was using someone else's carriage. As a father, he was unaware of it and didn't feel awkward, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Recently, rumors about the Second Young Miss have been rampant, saying that those who are targeting the Second Young Miss want to wipe out the entire family.

He couldn't fight against the rumors, he could only take care of himself and resolutely not become that kind of person.

Imperial Medical Bureau?

Is it too early to go at this time?

Lu Jianzhang was puzzled but showed respect, and waved with a smile, "We are going the same way, get in the car and I will give you a ride. By the way, you can tell me about Shuang'er's situation."

The Imperial Medical Bureau, as the National Health Ministry, medical school and affiliated hospital, was affiliated with the Taichang Temple and was naturally located in the imperial city.

Jing Shiyue secretly sighed at his own carelessness, but since Duke Lu invited him so warmly and gave him irrefutable reasons, he had no choice but to get on the carriage.

"Excuse me, Duke."

"It doesn't matter."

Inside the carriage, Jing Shiyue was very reserved. Duke Lu's gaze seemed to be fixed on him, making him feel uneasy.

The car swayed and drove towards Suzaku Gate in the dim light. The quiet atmosphere made the air serious.

"Xiao Jing..."

Halfway through the journey, Duke Lu finally spoke.

"You say!"

Jing Shiyue sat up straight immediately. Could it be that he knew about the affair between him and the second young lady and wanted to bring him to justice?

"Don't be nervous," Duke Lu said with a smile, "Shuang'er is a poor child. She has been weak since she was young, so we are particularly fond of her.

Maybe sometimes she would be a little spoiled and throw a tantrum or something, but please don't take it personally for my sake.

She didn't mean it. She was in a bad mood because she was sick. Xiao Jing can understand that, right?"

Jing Shiyue nodded, "The Second Miss is indeed pitiful."

Lu Jianzhang didn't expect him to agree, his face froze, and then he smiled bitterly and said:

"Yes, Shuang'er is quite pitiful. She gave her true love to someone who was not worthy. However, I saw you rushing towards Shuang'er without hesitation that day."

I hope the Duke won't notice anything.

Jing Shiyue's hands on his knees clenched involuntarily. When he was extremely nervous, Duke Lu just patted his shoulder.

"You are a good child with good character. I didn't save the wrong person. If it weren't for you, Shuang'er would have been in trouble all these years... Anyway, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

How about I call you my nephew? It sounds more intimate.

My dear nephew, please be more patient with my daughter. Coax her more on weekdays, especially when she takes medicine. She is very stubborn and only responds to soft words.

My wife and I don’t have high expectations for her. We just hope that she can live a peaceful and happy life.”

Duke Lu choked up, pretended to wipe his eyes, and then asked the butler to stop the carriage.

"The people in front are all officials from the imperial court, each of them is shrewd and cunning.

To prevent them from thinking too much and scheming here and there, I will let you go right here.

My dear nephew, it will take some time for the palace gate to open, please find a place sheltered from the wind and wait."

Jing Shiyue was placed on Zhuque Street. Duke Lu's carriage continued to move forward. Many officials had already gathered outside the palace gate.

"This damn weather is so cold!"

Jing Shiyue put his hands into his sleeves and cursed, full of annoyance.

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have been so stubborn. I could have taken a nap when I returned to Bieyunjian!

It’s not easy to feel the favor of a beauty!

After recuperating for a few days, Jiang Shuo, whose buttock injury was almost healed, changed into his official uniform and arrived just as the palace gate was about to open.

As the New Year approaches, foreign countries are ready to make moves and the border is not peaceful. Your Majesty has ordered all military officers above the fifth rank to be present.

Jiang Shuo didn't want to come either. How fun would it be to wait until dawn and bring some snacks to accompany Sister Shuang?

"Hey, Jiang Wen, look, does that person over there look familiar to you?"

Jiang Wen, who was driving, squinted his eyes and took a closer look, then asked tentatively:

"It seems to be Doctor Jing. Prince, didn't His Majesty ask him to stay at the Lu Mansion temporarily to treat the second young lady? What is he doing out so early in the morning? He's even earlier than you, who are in court. How strange!"

"Let's go over and have a look."

Jiang Shuo urged Jiang Wen to drive the carriage over.

The car was getting closer and closer, and the man's figure became clearer and clearer. Jiang Shuo leaned against the car window and laughed loudly:

"Oh, Lord Jing is here to attend the court too. What a coincidence! I haven't seen you for a few days. Lord Jing has been promoted! This prince would like to congratulate you!"

Jiang Shuo bowed exaggeratedly, in a very sarcastic tone.

He saw what happened that day clearly. When Sister Frost jumped down, he looked as if the sky had fallen.

If he doesn't have any idea about Sister Shuang, he will ask Jiang Wen to eat the carriage!

Jiang Wen: Yes, yes, I can eat anything!

Jing Shiyue was already irritated by the biting snow and wind, and when Jiang Shuo suddenly appeared and mocked him, he said with a dark face:

"Prince Jiang, are you free?"

After realizing Jing Shiyue's evil intentions towards Lu Ningshuang, Jiang Shuo felt uncomfortable with Jing Shiyue in every way.

"Hey, why are you talking so harshly? When we were in Bieyunjian, we at least saw each other every day for a few days. We are old acquaintances, right?

I'm just saying hello to you, why do you have to be so rude? I tell you, when you get angry, you age faster! Hehehehehe... old man!

Jiang Wen, go!"

The carriage started quickly, and the restless Prince Jiang leaned his head out of the window and made a not-so-dirty gesture.

"Old man, don't try to snatch Sister Shuang from me!"

One sentence made the two people silent.

Jing Shiyue always felt that he was too much older than the Second Miss, almost a generation later.

Every time the delicate and lovely Second Miss made him distracted, he felt guilty.

Especially on the couch, he felt like he was bullying a naive little girl.

He felt deep down that this relationship was not compatible.

Jing Shiyue felt like vomiting blood after being hurt by the word "old man".

Jiang Shuo, on the other hand, thought of the many years that Jing Shiyue had been with Lu Ningshuang, so he simply ignored the word "consulting".

It is said that old men have the most tricks, and there is no guarantee that his innocent, pure, weak and kind sister Frost will not be bewitched by the old man.

Damn!

After he leaves court, he must first tell Sister Shuang to stay away from the old man with ulterior motives!
