When facing the first downside

Lu Shi didn't know how long he had been in this ghostly place, but he only remembered that the small skylight above his head was on and off several times.

He regretted why he didn't come down to take a look when he was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and repair it, so that he can feel more comfortable now.

Lu Shi coughed, the doctor's medicine didn't help, it only subsided the fever, but the wind and cold still came violently.

"Ashi!!"

There was a burst of screams from the corridor. Although the original sound was lost, Lu Shi could tell who it was.

He leaned on his mouth and coughed twice, turned over to look.

Sure enough, it was Mrs. Lu.

Lu Shi's eyes turned red instantly, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Mother."

Madam Lu couldn't bear it any longer, she trotted forward, knelt outside the cell, stretched out her hand through the gap in the railing and grabbed Lu Shi's direction, and said mournfully, "A Shi, mother's A Shi!"

Lu Shi's physical strength was unbearable, and he moved to Mrs. Lu's side with great difficulty. He finally found something to rely on after being anxious all day long. He no longer supported the pain all over his body, just like when he was hurting from a fall while practicing martial arts when he was young, he said aggrievedly, "Mother , I hurt, I hurt to death..."

Mrs. Lu's heart was about to break, and she cried, "Ah Shih, it won't hurt when mother comes..."

Lu Baiyang stood in the corridor watching this scene, clenched his hands into fists, and smashed it against the wall. A layer of dust fell on the wall, and the raised stones were smashed on the spot. He turned his head and glared at the jailer who followed him, "Don't open the door yet! Do you want to hit your head with the next punch?!"

The jailer was scared out of his wits, "Hey, just open the door!"

It was the second day after Lu Shi woke up again, he opened his eyelids vigorously, and there were Lu Baiyang and Mrs. Lu standing beside the bed, both of them had blue eyes.

"Father, mother." Lu Shi twitched the corners of his mouth, and pulled it for a long time, but he didn't laugh.

"A Shi..." Mrs. Lu was so distressed that she touched Lu Shi's temples carefully, as lightly as if touching a glass cup that would break if touched.

Lu Baiyang's face was always gloomy, and Lu Shi only relaxed for a moment when he woke up, and his shoulders tightened again after a while.

"Ashi," Lu Baiyang said in a deep voice, "it's my parents... I'm sorry."

Lu Shi shook his head, "The Lu family is His Majesty's heart disease. He will have to attack sooner or later. Instead of letting the Lu family suffer together, it is better to let me alone."

Lu Baiyang rubbed the center of his brows wearily, "You rest for another day, and we will enter the palace early tomorrow morning, and then go home."

"today."

Lu Baiyang was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "What?"

"I'm entering the palace today," Lu Shi said in a very soft voice, "I want to leave early."

Mrs. Lu and Lu Baiyang looked at each other, and found the same pain in each other's eyes. Mrs. Lu turned her face away and wiped away her tears with a handkerchief. How much her ashi has suffered...

Lu Baiyang sighed, "Don't be willful, your body can't take it."

"Stay here..." Lu Shi's eyes trembled slightly, "I won't get better."

Mrs. Lu was worried when she heard this, and she felt that Lu Shi's change had something to do with the prince, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Then let's go today, just walk slowly on the road."

The second sentence was addressed to Lu Baiyang, who silently nodded his head under Lu Shi's firm eyes.

Inside the Yonghe Palace, Emperor Chongde was holding a small box in his hand. The box was small and there were two spaces in it. One space was empty, and there was still a pill in it.

It's pretty much the same as what Li Taiyi said, the missing one should have been used by Mrs. Lu when she was born.

Emperor Chongde handed the box to Imperial Physician Li, who took it with both hands, scraped it with a silver needle, rubbed it, looked at it against the light, put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully. nodded.

Emperor Chongde waved his hand, Li Taiyi understood, and went straight to Jingyang Palace with the medicine box.

"Master Lu is indeed loyal and courageous," Emperor Chongde picked up the teacup on the table, "When Yun Qi recovers, I will reward you heavily."

Lu Baiyang went out, knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the grassroots don't ask for a big reward, but a kindness."

"Oh?"

"The grassroots want to offset their merits and demerits," Lu Baiyang raised his head, "forgive me for the crimes I committed."

"I've also heard about the matter of Marquis Dingdu." Emperor Chongde took a sip of his tea and said noncommittally, "Yushitai's bite is not easy to solve."

This is because the weight is not enough.

Lu Baiyang lowered his eyelids to cover his dark eyes, and no longer twisted around, "The grassroots will disband the martial arts alliance."

Emperor Chongde was stunned for a moment, and sighed, "Master Lu... really loves his son very much. I will ask Dali Temple to investigate the matter of Marquis Dingdu."

"Your Majesty," Lu Shi knelt beside Lu Baiyang, clasping his fists in the same way, "Caomin would like to ask His Majesty to take back the title of Caomin, and let Caomin look back at Jiangcheng."

This is handing the pillow when you are sleepy, but thinking of Gu Cenyuan's crazy appearance these days, Emperor Chongde said slowly, "Marquis Dingdu doesn't want to stay in the capital?"

Lu Shi clenched his hands tightly, lacking in energy and blood, couldn't help coughing twice, and said bluntly, "The weather in the capital is dry, and the grassroots are hard to adapt to, and they are always lingering in the sick bed, and the grassroots have no talent or morality, and I am afraid that they will not be able to do anything in the court... I hope His Majesty will fulfill it."

"So," Emperor Chongde said calmly, "I can't force it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Lu Shi kowtowed to thank him, "Your Majesty, Captain Xiao should also be impatient with the climate of Kyoto..."

Emperor Chongde shook his head, "The Changhuai Mountain bandit matter requires Captain Xiao to contribute a lot."

The implication is to make Xiao Xian a proton.

Lu Shi raised his head suddenly, seeing that Emperor Chongde didn't respond, he looked at Lu Baiyang in disbelief.

Lu Baiyang nodded invisibly.

From the outside world, Changhuaishan looks like a bunch of bandits who are both good and evil, but they are all brothers who have worked hard with Xiao Zhaizhu through life and death.

If the Changhuai cottage was shoveled, the whole family on the mountain might really have to become real bandits for their livelihood.

Village Master Xiao could not accept it, and Xiao Xian would not accept it either, so letting Xiao Xian stay in Beijing is the best way.

Lu Shi also figured it out, his figure swayed slightly, his lips trembled, "Your Majesty, Cao Min wants to see Captain Xiao again before leaving."

Emperor Chongde agreed.

After leaving the Yonghe Palace, the two agreed that Lu Baiyang would first go back to Dingduhou's Mansion to pick up Mrs. Lu, and meet at the gate of the city at noon.

Lu Shi walked towards Jingyang Palace, the little palace lady and the little eunuch on the way didn't know that he was no longer the Marquis of Dingdu, and seeing him still saluted respectfully, but the smile on his face was gone.

Lu Shi snorted, the news in the palace was indeed the most well-informed.

So Gu Cenyuan, do you really not know?

When they arrived at Jingyang Palace, Xiao Xian was already waiting at the door, but Lu Shi didn't recognize him at first sight.

Xiao Xian lost weight, and the silly cheeks disappeared. He didn't wear the usual strong clothes, but put on a toga. When the wind blew, the flaps of his clothes fluttered, giving him a somewhat quieter temperament.

Lu Shi walked around him, surprised, "What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Xian scratched his head, "The Second Highness is not in good health these days, hurry up, do you have something to do with me?"

Xiao Xian has been under house arrest by Gu Yunqi all this time, and he doesn't know what happened recently, so he showed his feet as soon as he opened his mouth.

Lu Shi looked into his eyes, "Did I tell you that you can tell a lie at a glance?"

Xiao Xian's eyes showed panic, he quickly covered it up, and said with a smile, "Really, who lied."

Lu Shi took a deep breath, suppressed the overwhelming pain in his heart, and focused on the things of the past two days, covering up his own affairs in the dungeon.

Xiao Xian subconsciously looked at the main hall with people coming and going behind him, and said in a daze, "So everything is done to dissolve the forces in the world and cure his illness?"

Lu Shi was silent.

Xiao Xian and Lu Shi guessed that the Tian family wanted to disband the forces in the world, but they didn't know about the medicine...

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Xian thought of the conversation he overheard before, his face turned pale, "Ashi, I'm not..."

He was incoherent, "I don't know, if I knew, I would not like him, he, I..."

Lu Shi patted him on the shoulder, "It's not wrong to be happy alone, and he doesn't necessarily know it."

He knew, Xiao Xian said in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out.

He always felt that this sentence would detonate something more terrible.

"I'm going back to Jiangcheng today," Lu Shi smiled when he thought of happy things.

"Well, take care all the way." Xiao Xian also smiled.

Ever since Lu Baiyang and Mrs. Lu entered the capital without Xiao Xian knowing, he had already vaguely guessed that it was not so easy to understand the matter of Changhuai Mountain.

Lu Shi punched him in the chest, "If you have something to do, no matter how difficult it is, please send a letter to me, and I will rush over immediately."

"The Second Highness likes me tightly, who will bully me?"

Except for himself.

Xiao Xian said bitterly in his heart, without revealing anything on his face, brimming with happiness.

Lu Shi sent his blessings from the bottom of his heart, but there was only one polite sentence that that person said, so Lu Shi said, "I wish you a long life as you get to know him."

Xiao Xian smiled and said "Okay", and touched the bruises and red marks on his wrist with his hands behind his back.

Lu Shi also asked Xiao Xian to remember to say goodbye to Xiao Taohong and Wang Wu when he saw Xiao Taohong and Wang Wu in the future, and then left the palace without mentioning Gu Cenyuan.
