doctor knife in hand

Lu Jin didn't want to disturb Song Heng, but the housekeeper said so, presumably Song Heng must have found out something.He came to the capital for the first time, he was not familiar with the place, and the other party was a nobleman of the royal family, so it might not be easy to meet him.

In the past, the Lu family didn't have enough family status, let alone now?

He went back to ask Ling Xuan to get some rest, and was about to go out when he heard footsteps at the door.Before he could find someone, Song Heng came by himself.

"Fu Bo said that you are going to deliver a letter to Prince Cheng's Mansion?"

Lu Jin was not surprised that Song Heng knew, so he nodded, "Since I have arrived in the capital, I must let my eldest sister know."

Song Heng said: "There is no need to deliver the letter, you can go there."

Lu Jin was puzzled, "I'm afraid it's not good to come to the door so rashly?"

Song Heng looked at him, and sighed softly: "The letter will not reach her even if it is sent."

Hearing this, Lu Jin gradually suppressed his smile, and seeing Song Heng's solemn expression, his heart sank. He thought of the Ji family back then.

However, things are even worse than Ji's family, because...

"Your elder sister Lu Wan has passed away."

At the gate of the majestic and majestic Prince's Mansion, several guards escorted a carriage to a stop. Song Heng opened the curtain and got out of the carriage first, then turned around and handed Lu Jin in the carriage to help him get down.

This series of movements is natural and smooth, thoughtful and thoughtful, and it was done by a First-Class Lord who is recognized as unreasonable. If anyone sees it, their jaws will drop in shock.

However, Lu Jin was so sad at the moment that he didn't notice these things at all, and couldn't care about the difference between up and down.

He stood at the gate of Prince Cheng's Mansion, looking at the red-brown gate, his heart throbbing with pain.

Although Lu Wan's name is graceful, she has a strong temper. Before she got married, she took care of Lu's family.Like the two younger sisters, she loves Lu Jin from the bottom of her heart. Because she is the elder sister, she has the additional responsibility of teaching her younger siblings. She has strict requirements on Lu Jin since she was a child, controlling his reading and calligraphy, food and clothing.

Lu Jinchuan was already eight years old when he came here, and when he was nine years old, Lu Wan entered Prince Cheng's mansion, and the chances of meeting him suddenly decreased, and he even saw less than five fingers in a year.

But Lu Wan's concern for Lu Jin has never been less, because it is the emperor's will, even if it is just a side concubine, she has a dignity, so she often sends her nanny to visit him, ask him about the progress of his medical studies, and ask about his daily life.

Until something happened to the Lu family and Cheng Wang's mansion stood by and watched. All Lu Wan could do was to turn the valuables on her body into silver taels to pay for her grandfather and three younger siblings when they returned home, but she never saw her again.

Lu Jin has always been fortunate that her eldest sister is a married woman, and the fall of the Lu family will not affect her. Although she lost the support of her natal family, the emperor's will is also a layer of protection, and there is always a stable life.

However, when he was lucky enough to return to Beijing seven years later, what he got was her bad news. One can imagine Lu Jin's mood.

A guard stepped forward to knock on the door, Song Heng turned his head and glanced at Lu Jin, who was so sad that his expression was numb and unable to cry.

His heart ached, and he really wanted to hug Dr. Lu into his arms and comfort him.

It is rare in the world to be so unlucky as the Lu family.

"Ajin, let's go."

The door had already been opened, and the porter of Prince Cheng's Mansion stood aside respectfully, and a housekeeper came out in a hurry to salute Song Heng.

"My lord, please come inside."

Lu Jin glanced at the housekeeper, walked in without saying a word.

When Lu Jin knew the emperor's will when he was nine years old, he felt resentful.

His elder sister was beautiful and good-natured, and when it was approaching age, many officials' families came to propose a marriage. His grandfather and father picked and picked again and again, and finally chose a good character from many well-matched families. Just when the handsome and upright hero was about to make a decision, the imperial decree came!

Just because the King Cheng saw Lu Wan by accident, he took a second look and remembered it in his heart.The hateful thing is that he also made a painting of beauties, which happened to be introduced into the palace and attracted the imperial decree.

He obviously already has a concubine, why is he still thinking about his sister!Even though she got on the royal jade plate and raised her identity, but the embarrassment of the concubine, which wife would want to try it?

Lu Jin slowly recalled the unwillingness at the beginning, and when he saw the King Cheng in front of him, his eyes gradually became dark.

King Cheng should be less than forty now, younger than King Qi, but he looks like he is over fifty.

His eyes were cloudy and lifeless, and his whole body exuded a sense of depression and frustration, which was completely different from his lonely and arrogant appearance seven years ago.

"Chen Song Heng has seen the prince, and I am really sorry to disturb you at such a late hour." Song Heng raised his hands and cupped his fists in salute.

King Cheng looked at him and nodded, and said, "Master Song." Then his eyes turned and fell on Lu Jin.

Lu Jin took a deep breath, bowed his hands and saluted, "Lu Jin has met Prince Cheng."

The tone was slightly cold, but King Cheng didn't care. Instead, he opened his eyes slightly and called softly, "Awan..."

Song Heng leaned closer, and immediately frowned when he heard this sound.

And Lu Jin also raised his head and looked back, just in time to find that those slightly cloudy eyes were looking straight at him, which made him feel uncomfortable.

"My lord?" Song Heng's voice was full of displeasure and warning.

King Cheng was silent for a while, and slowly looked away, a little disappointed, "It's not Awan..." He thought for a moment, and seemed to remember, "You are a kid from the Lu family, right?"

Lu Jin and Lu Wan are brothers and sisters of the same mother. They look alike, and they both look like their mothers.

"Yes." Lu Jin replied.

But before he could explain, King Cheng said: "You have returned to Beijing and came here to see Awan, but unfortunately she passed away five years ago." When he said this, there was endless regret in his voice, still There is a trace of nostalgia.Looking at Song Heng next to him again, he laughed at himself: "You should already know."

That disheartened look seemed to show how much he cared about his sister, but when he thought about the cold and desolate place where his sister was imprisoned before Song Heng's inquiry, Lu Jin only felt a wave of resentment rushing in. In the chest, the viscera and six viscera rushed to the ground and hurt.

"How did she die?" The words seemed to be bitten out between teeth, Lu Jin stared directly at King Cheng with red eyes.

King Cheng showed guilt on his face, and there was a trace of remorse in his eyes, "It was this king who failed her and made her die in depression."

It's an understatement, it's not even an explanation, Lu Jin can't imagine what kind of disappointment could make her unable to live?

There was nowhere to release his anger, so he couldn't help but took a step forward, approached King Cheng and said, "So, what did Prince Cheng's mansion do to her to make her die in depression?"

Lu Jin's move was quite rude, but Song Heng beside him didn't say a word, embarrassment flashed across King Cheng's face, and he finally reprimanded in a low voice: "Presumptuous."

As soon as he spoke, the guards on the side stepped forward, Song Heng's eyes turned cold, and the British Duke's personal guards followed suit, just blocking in front of them.

King Cheng couldn't help being stunned when he saw this scene, and looked at Song Heng in puzzlement.

Song Heng was about to speak, when suddenly a question came from behind him, "What does the Englishman mean?"

Everyone turned their heads and saw a graceful and luxurious woman walking towards this side with her servants. Her face was exquisite, with a smile that was not a smile, and she looked at Song Heng and Lu Jin next to him unkindly.

"Prince's mansion, did the British prince bring someone here to provoke him?" She walked up to Song Heng, raised her chin slightly, and her eyes were sharp.

This woman is Princess Cheng.

Song Heng smiled, raised his hand and saluted, "Princess Wang is joking, but it's just a family matter, why bother talking about it so seriously."

"Family matters?" Princess Cheng looked at Lu Jin, she frowned slightly, Lu Jin's face reminded her of the woman who had disappeared for five years, and her complexion suddenly became complicated.But soon she regained her composure, and just sneered at Song Heng, "I don't know when our lord and Yingying are a family?"

As she spoke, she looked at King Cheng, but what was strange was that King Cheng turned his head away and ignored her.

It seems that there is some estrangement between the two.

Princess Cheng's expression darkened, but in an instant she raised her head and looked at Song Heng proudly.

Song Heng has a thick skin, so it doesn't matter, he said: "A Jin is my brother-in-law, so I naturally have to ask his sister."

Princess Cheng snorted coldly, ignored him, turned her eyes to Lu Jin, looked at the angry expression on his face, and the reddish eyes... Princess Cheng couldn't help but compare him to the stern-looking person who followed Lu Wan in her memory. The young adults reunited together, and finally felt soft, and sighed: "The prince should have already said that Concubine Lu has passed away for many years."

"Things are impermanent, King Cheng and I were also filled with emotions. At that time, we wanted to send someone to announce the funeral, but the mountains are long and the rivers are far away. I don't know where the Lu family has gone, so I had to." Then she said, "She thought you would never return to Beijing again."

This sentence made Lu Jin's nose sore.

In Lu Jin's memory, Princess Cheng has always looked like this, dignified and serious, paying attention to rules. He occasionally visits his sister at home, but he always has to meet her first, and then he can follow her to her yard to talk with her after getting permission.

As the main wife, her prestige can be seen, but Lu Wan, who has a low status, can only be low-key and compromise.

Princess Cheng didn't like Lu Wan, but she didn't embarrass her, that was enough.

In Lu Jin's opinion at the time, both his sister Lu Wan and Princess Cheng were poor women.

Lu Jin managed to calm down and said, "I just want to know how she passed away? My sister is not a person who can't be overwhelmed."

Princess Cheng actually doesn't want to talk about Lu Wan anymore, she is the woman in King Cheng's heart after all.However, looking at Lu Jin's appearance of not letting it go unless he explained it clearly, and Song Heng next to him, it is obvious that this matter cannot be fooled around casually. In order to avoid future troubles, Princess Cheng finally said: "Then sit inside." .”

The servant girl served the tea silently, and then retreated, but no one drank it.

There were only four of them in this hall, Princess Cheng said openly and honestly when she saw this: "If you want to talk about things, let's start with the crime of the Lu family..."

During those days, no matter it was the Lu family or Cheng Wang's mansion, they were all in awe.

Although Prince Cheng's mansion is a prince's mansion, it is a pity that the emperor has always been jealous of it. If something happens to the Lu family, it is not enough to avoid it. How could he help Lu Wan save the Lu family.

No matter how much Lu Wan was favored by King Cheng, she couldn't compare with King Cheng's title and the future of the palace. So in those days, King Cheng avoided her, no matter how much she begged, how much she shed tears to see her.

In the end, the order to be convicted was made, and Grandpa Lu left Beijing and returned to his hometown with his grandchildren.

"She secretly sent someone to deliver the money. I know about it, and the prince knows it too. It's not easy to miss her. We just don't talk about it. But as soon as the Lu family left Beijing, she fell ill."

Thinking of the scene in the cold wind, when the old servant knelt down and kowtowed to his grandfather after handing over the package wrapped with a pile of banknotes and a bag of broken silver, Lu Jinzhen's eyes were moist, and he clenched his fists to restrain himself from losing his composure.

"What happened later?" Song Heng asked.

Concubine Cheng said: "She complained that the prince only talked about love, but stood by and watched her natal family's distress. The disease did not improve until the imperial doctor found out that she was pregnant, and then slowly recovered."

Hearing this, Lu Jin looked at her in surprise, and then at Song Heng, "My sister has a child?"

Song Heng frowned, Song Yang didn't mention the child, obviously...

Princess Cheng nodded, but with regret in her eyes, she said: "For the sake of the child, Concubine Lu cheered up, but when it came time to give birth, because it was the first child, it was difficult to give birth. Although it was finally born after a day and a night, it's just..." She slightly After a pause, he couldn't bear to say, "I lost my breath, I died young."

Song Heng said in his heart that sure enough, looking at Lu Jin again, he had closed his eyes and gritted his teeth without saying a word.

Princess Cheng sighed and said: "For a woman, without her natal family and children, this kind of blow is already fatal, so she didn't survive..."

King Cheng glanced at her, but he didn't speak, remaining silent.

The words ended here, and the surroundings were silent.

This result is sad, but the Cheng Palace cannot be blamed. The matter of the Lu family, the order of the emperor, even if the Cheng Palace is forced to come forward to save people, it may not be able to save them.

If the latter child had no other reasons, it could only be an accident. At most, she blamed King Cheng for not comforting her and not caring enough for her.

Of course, if what Princess Cheng said is the truth, there is nothing wrong with it, but do you believe it?

Song Heng has no feelings for Lu Wan, and if it weren't for Lu Jin, he wouldn't bother with this kind of nosy business. As a bystander, he is the least susceptible to emotion.

Combined with what Song Yang inquired about, he found it interesting.

If it's that simple, why are the waiters gone?
