Chapter 193 The duck in my mouth flew away
Xuan Qing, who was following behind Lu Jiangnian, curled his lips. What the prince said was really an understatement.
He was exhausted after most of the day.
The emperor planned to go to the temporary palace in the near future. Before dawn, the prince took the guards to the temporary palace to set up defenses.
He was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water, let alone eat lunch. After finishing the arrangements, he hurried to the city.
Xuanqing was hungry and thirsty.
If you ask me, the prince is too nervous.
The Crown Prince's wife didn't leave the capital and return to Nanjiang County like she did last time, and then return to the mansion at night. Could it be that she couldn't see him?
Since the Crown Prince's wife has been promised to come to Qihuangzhai and Xuanhuang has been arranged to keep an eye on her, what is there to worry about? Can the Crown Prince's wife still run away?
Why do you have to rush over and watch it in person?
However, when they came in just now, the man surnamed Su and Xuan Huang surrounded the Crown Prince's wife, their eyes excited and chattering incessantly, which was really a bit weird.
Like, two concubines vying for attention?
Xuan Qing felt a little chilly.
Why did he think of this metaphor?
Yuan Wanru looked at Lu Jiangnian and immediately noticed the chapped corners of his mouth.
"Why is your mouth so dry? Didn't you drink any water?"
Lu Jiangnian thought that she was going to Qihuangzhai today, so he had no time to drink water. He was so busy that he had to split himself into two people just to get there as soon as possible.
"No, I haven't had lunch yet. Have you finished your business with my wife?"
They were almost done talking, and now that she heard him say he hadn't had lunch, she decided not to stay any longer.
"Then let's go."
Su Shaodong was secretly annoyed. He looked at Yuan Wanru with a smile and said, "Doctor Jiang, when can we arrange for the other patient? How about tomorrow?"
The jealous guy was right in front of him, so he had better not touch his sensitive spot, to avoid Master Lu stopping the little beauty and not allowing her to come again.
This man is very scheming.
Don't think he doesn't know that last time Lu Jiangnian specifically asked someone to keep an eye on the things happening in the back hall of Qihuangzhai.
Fortunately, he had made preparations in advance and set up a "Tang Tai" in the back hall room to hide from others.
Otherwise, everything will be exposed.
If that was the case, he would definitely shave off Old Man Wu's hair and pull out his beard before escaping. It was because he was so excited when he saw the Taiping Pills in the little beauty's hand that he lost his mind and spoke without restraint.
Lu Jiangnian took the lead and refused before Yuan Wanru.
"My wife and I have something to do tomorrow, so she won't be able to come."
"Besides, didn't you just see one patient today? Why are you in such a hurry to schedule another one?"
"My lady, there are so many people in the mansion now. If you come in and out frequently, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion from those who have ulterior motives. It's best not to come here too often."
What Lu Jiangnian said makes a lot of sense.
Although Wang Min is generous and never restricts her, there are Liang Yusong and Lu Wei at home now, so it is not easy for her to go out often.
"Okay, I understand. I'll come back for a follow-up visit in five days. From now on, it will probably be at this frequency. It's better not to arrange for anyone else until this patient is cured."
The following words were addressed to Su Shaodong.
Lu Jiangnian curled the corners of his lips proudly.
Su Shaodong looked depressed.
"Ok."
-
Because Lu Jiangnian didn't have lunch, they didn't go back home directly, but found a restaurant nearby.
They ordered a sweet and sour fish during the meal. Lu Jiangnian took two bites and then stopped eating.
On the contrary, Yuan Wanru ate with great relish.
Most of the fish on the plate went into her stomach.
Lu Jiangnian looked at her amusedly: "You said you weren't hungry, but I see you ate quite a bit."
Yuan Wanru looked at the empty plate embarrassedly: "The fish is well cooked, so I ate a few more bites. What, you don't want to give it to me?"
Her lively eyes were as beautiful as stars, her smile was bright, and her voice was soft and sweet, which made Lu Jiangnian feel extremely sweet in his heart.
"Why wouldn't I let you eat?"
He suddenly said, "I'm done with my work. Why don't we go back to the mansion tonight and go directly to the villa?"
"The chef there is very good at cooking fish. I'm sure you will enjoy the meal to your heart's content."
Yuan Wanru looked at him with wide eyes, a little hesitant: "But, we have to tell Mom, Dad is at home too, it would be bad if we don't go back."
Because Lu Wei recommended Liu Jun as a concubine, the eldest wife and her family have not been able to sit together and have a good meal.
I don’t know if Wang Min has any other plans tonight.
"Besides, I didn't bring a change of clothes."
Lu Jiangnian hid the dim light in his eyes and slowly explained to her, "We're already a family. There's no need to consider our parents' opinions on everything. Besides, they can talk to their sister when we're not home."
"As for the clothes, don't worry, I will arrange it."
"If you go tonight, you can have an extra meal of fresh sea bass."
"You can eat it steamed, grilled, fried, sweet and sour, braised, steamed, or even in fish soup...all kinds of ways."
"If you don't take this opportunity to eat more, the fish won't be so easy to catch when the weather gets colder."
Yuan Wanru was so tempted by what he said that her appetite was aroused.
"OK then."
They sent someone back to tell Wang Min that they were about to set off for the villa.
Who knew that at this moment, someone blocked their way.
"Prince, His Highness has something urgent to discuss with you."
The person who came was the prince's confidant, and his face looked a little anxious.
Lu Jiangnian said impatiently, "What's the matter?"
The man said, "Your Highness, please go to the East Palace immediately. I don't know what happened."
The long-awaited event encountered unexpected twists and turns, and Lu Jiangnian really wanted to curse.
Yuan Wanru saw that his face had darkened, thinking that something bad had happened, and did not dare to delay: "You go quickly, I will go directly back home."
Lu Jiangnian thought for a while and proposed an idea: "Why don't you go to the other courtyard and wait for me first? I'll come find you as soon as I'm done."
The duck in my mouth just flew away!
Not reconciled!
She shook her head: "No, today is already rushed, let's go tomorrow."
She just went home to make Taiping Pills.
Today, Su Shaodong asked her to deliver the goods as soon as possible.
One bottle can be sold for four hundred and fifty taels. When it comes to making money, you can't be too lazy.
Lu Jiangnian said helplessly: "Okay."
"Xuanqing, escort the lady back to the mansion."
He cursed in his heart, hoping that the prince had something really important to do, otherwise he would definitely punch him.
He must be made to understand that an unsatisfied man is not to be trifled with.

East Palace.
When the Crown Prince saw Lu Jiangnian, he hurriedly said, "I've received news that some rebels are planning to assassinate my father while he's at the palace."
Lu Jiangnian's eyes narrowed, and he asked seriously, "Is the news reliable?"
"Well, my second brother told me."
Second prince?
Lu Jiangnian asked calmly, "How did the Second Prince know this?"
The prince explained with some relief, "Speaking of which, this incident was also a coincidence. His personal guards accidentally overheard it and wanted to follow him secretly, but they discovered him and lost him."
"You are fully responsible for the defense of the palace this time. You must get to the bottom of this matter before your father leaves."
