Lu Zhenghe looked at his wrist

"It's just that my arms and legs hurt so much, but what's wrong with the injuries on my hands and feet?"

After saying this, he seemed to react.

"Am I okay?"

Mrs. Lu Ye Rong choked with tears and said

"This time it's all thanks to Sheng girl..."

Qin Shu stepped forward to support her mother-in-law

"Dad, your illness this time really scared my mother."

Lu Xuan stepped forward and told the story in detail. Second Madam Li Ling echoed

"I brought Sheng'er here today because I was afraid that Jiang Yuanzheng would embarrass her because of the dowry issue, but I didn't expect that I would save you by accident."

Lu Zhenghe looked around

"How is Sheng girl? Is it serious? Can you find a doctor for her?"

Lu Xuan shook his head

"She said no, so my son didn't take the initiative."

Lu Zhenghe was silent for a moment

"In the eyes of outsiders, Sheng only knows some medical knowledge. No one knows that her medical skills have reached such an extraordinary level. I think this girl is deliberately hiding her abilities and it is really inappropriate to make them public."

Ye Rong wiped away tears

"Now that you're fine, I'm actually a little scared. If you had made a mistake today, you might not have been able to be saved."

As he spoke he began to sob again.

Throughout his life, Lu Zhenghe was not afraid of the bloodshed on the battlefield or the treacherous officialdom, but the only thing he was afraid of was his wife's tears.

"Oh, how come I'm in trouble again at my age? I'm fine, right? I'm not destined to die, so I can't die."

Ye Rong glared at him

"If Sheng girl didn't have this kind of fortuitous encounter, even the king of heaven couldn't save you."

Li Ling said

"If you ask me, Sheng'er is biased towards us. Jiang Yuanzheng was seriously ill a few days ago, and we invited the imperial physician to come to his home. It took many days for him to recover.

At that time, Sheng'er was not sent away by her, but you see, Sheng'er didn't care about him at all. Today, Sheng'er took out the first-grade Yangrong Pill without a moment's hesitation."

The third wife Zhao Chunwan smiled

"People are all made of flesh and blood. She naturally knows who treats her well. Sheng'er is thoughtful and delicate. Although she is not good at speaking, she knows what's going on."

As he was talking, Lu Zhenghe's stomach suddenly started to growl. He hadn't eaten any rice for several days and his stomach was beginning to feel a bit uncomfortable.

Ye Rong stood up and smiled

"You haven't eaten for several days. I'll make you a bowl of hot noodle soup so you can fill your stomach first."

Tan Shu also stood up

"Mom, I'll go."

Ye Rong waved his hand

"Go check on Miss Sheng. Zhou'er is a careless person and it's inevitable that he will make mistakes when taking care of people. Miss Sheng is now a great contributor to our family, so we can't be careless."

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Seeing that the mother-in-law and sister-in-law had gone out, Li Ling and Zhao Chunwan followed them out.

Lu Xuan stood beside Lu Zhenghe

"Dad, do you have any idea about the Gu worm?"

Lu Zhengchuan frowned and thought for a moment.

"Perhaps it is a hidden danger left over from the recovery of Miao territory many years ago."

Many years ago, the Miao king rebelled and ascended the throne in Miao. Lu Zhengchuan personally led his army to suppress the rebellion and was very successful.

However, the Miao king refused to obey and committed suicide on the battlefield. Thus, he became enemies with the royal family of Southern Xinjiang.

Many years have passed, and although most of the Miao Jiang King's former subordinates have grown old or died, there are inevitably some who have slipped through the net.

Moreover, the poisonous insect is unique to Miaojiang, so when Lu Zhengchuan heard that he was poisoned, the first person he suspected was the people from southern Xinjiang.

Lu Xuan didn't seem to agree.

"The Miao king was cruel and merciless, raising his own army and imposing heavy taxes. Before the rebellion was quelled, the people of Miao lived in misery. After the rebellion was quelled, Miao was very different from before, and the people lived and worked in peace. You have a good reputation among the people of Miao, and the people all say that you saved them."

“The people may be grateful to me, but many of the former Miao royal family members died at your father’s hands. If they are bent on revenge, it is not impossible.”

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lu Zhenghe asked

"What's wrong?"

"It has been many years since the Miaojiang rebellion was quelled. They have been hiding for many years. It is unreasonable for them to suddenly show up at this time.

I am worried about the two people in the palace."

Lu Zhenghe sighed

"What you said is not impossible."

Lu Zhenghe and Ye Rong have three sons and one daughter.

Her daughter Lu Yao entered the palace many years ago, and not long after, she gave birth to the third prince Qi Junze. As the only prince's family with military power, the General's Mansion had long been a thorn in the eyes of the other princes and His Majesty.

It would be fine if Junze was just a mediocre person, but he...

Lu Xuan was silent for a moment

"The princes are almost adults, and your Majesty's health is not as good as before. The disadvantages of party struggles are obvious. Some things need to be prepared in advance."

Lu Zhenghe looked at him deeply.

“Third brother, our Lu family has protected the country of Dongchen for a hundred years. Many of our family members have died.

I have fought for half my life and will never do anything that would bring shame to my ancestors, so the Lu family will never allow a traitor to appear. Do you understand?"

Lu Xuan was not surprised to hear this answer, he just sighed

"Dad, you care about the people of the world and the righteousness of your country. You can't let the Lu family's century-old foundation be destroyed. Your son understands it.

But look at the hundreds of tablets in the Lu family's ancestral hall. Among all the century-old families in the capital, is there any family like our Lu family, with such a small number of people?"

As a noble family, their Lu family was once a large and prosperous family, but in order to protect Dongchen,

Now only their direct lineage is left.

If the emperor was wise, they would have no regrets, but the current emperor...

"Third brother...you..."

A sense of sadness surged in Lu Xuan's heart. He looked at Lu Zhengchuan.

"Dad, I have never been disloyal or unjust, it's just that I feel it's not worth it.

My son is not as broad-minded as you. If the house is going to collapse one day, my son just wants to protect these people at home."

Lu Zhenghe knew that there was no right or wrong between the father and son, they just had different positions, and the third brother just wanted to prepare more escape routes for his family.

It is impossible for a person to be without selfishness. He has protected Dongchen for his entire life, so how could he not want to protect his family?

Having nearly lost his life this time, Lu Zhengchuan thought more about it. After a long time, he finally seemed to compromise.

"Be careful when doing things. Don't let anyone catch you and cause trouble for Yao'er and Junze. Don't do anything that would betray your country or your king. Do you understand?"

Lu Xuan bowed

"Don't worry, father. I know there is one more thing..."

"Ahem... ahem... what's the matter?"

Lu Xuan stepped forward and gently stroked his back to calm him down, and whispered

"I have already sent someone to investigate this matter, but we didn't know the cause before and missed the best time to investigate. I'm afraid we can't find anything now."

Lu Zhenghe thought so too. After all, even he himself couldn't remember when he was attacked.

"In order not to expose Miss Jiang, you have to stay sick for a while."

"That's what I planned to do."

As the father and son were discussing this, Ye Rong came in with some noodles.

"Third brother, your father just woke up, don't let him talk for too long."
