Ye Zhen didn't believe that Duanmu Ya didn't know anything, especially the pill. She felt that he must know who sent it to the Medicine King's Valley. He didn't say it because he didn't want her to know.
She sent both him and Lu Tingzhi away.
Duanmu Ya hugged the pillar like a rogue and refused to leave. He wanted Ye Zhen to tell him the formula of the pill but was dragged out by Lu Tingzhi.
Ye Zhen went to the study to find Lu Shiming.
"Father, Lu Tingzhi said he wants to take the imperial examination next year. Do you know about this?" Ye Zhen entered the study and immediately asked Lu Shiming about Lu Tingzhi.
"He told me, but I don't agree." Lu Shiming stood up and motioned for Ye Zhen to sit down. "He told you?"
Ye Zhen didn't intend to tell Lu Shiming about the current affairs of the underworld. She sighed, "Father, do you think he can be trusted?"
"I know that because of what happened to Yanzhi and Shuang 'er, you don't have a good impression of the first branch. Although I did not watch Tingzhi grow up, I have investigated what he has done in the Qi Kingdom. He is different from Yanzhi. If possible, I hope that you can give him a chance." Lu Shiming said in a low voice.
He had never asked his daughter for anything, but this time, for the sake of Lu Tingzhi, he spoke.
"Father, I know you want to promote him, but I am not at ease …" Ye Zhen frowned. It was not that she didn't want to give Lu Tingzhi a chance, but she was afraid that this opportunity would be given to Lu Lingzhi.
"Then do you trust me?" Lu Shiming asked.
Ye Zhen smiled helplessly, "Father, what are you talking about? How can I not believe you?"
"Let Lu Tingzhi work beside me. I will watch him. What do you think?" Lu Shiming said.
"I will go back and talk to the emperor." Since Lu Shiming said so, she naturally couldn't refuse.
Lu Shiming smiled and nodded, "Good."
"Then I will go to mother first." Ye Zhen said, "Don't let Mingxi take your books at will. Many of them are unique copies. Don't let him break them."
"I am going to take him to Elder Xu." Lu Shiming smiled. "Mingxi said he wanted to learn to play chess."
Ye Zhen raised an eyebrow, "Isn't there Master Huang Fu to teach him?"
"Mr. Huangfu has taught him. Isn't he looking for an opponent?" Lu Shiming laughed.
"Really …" Ye Zhen smiled and shook her head. "I don't think he wants to play chess. He wants to go out and play."
"Isn't it normal for children to like to play?" Lu Shiming laughed.
Ye Zhen left the study room and went to the upper room. Before she entered the room, she heard a woman's voice coming from somewhere else. Listening carefully, it was all cursing Lu Shiming and his wife. There was no need to ask to know that it was Mrs Liu.
"Go, slap her 20 times. If she still wants to continue cursing, pull out her teeth." Ye Zhen coldly ordered Hong Ying. She hated Mrs. Liu and was not grateful to the Pei family for taking her in. Instead, she blamed them for implicating her.
Who was the one who implicated whom?
Hong Ying answered in a low voice and turned to look for the source of the sound.
Ye Zhen entered the upper room as if nothing had happened. "Mother, has Ming Yu not come back yet?"
"Just now, the Su family sent a servant to say that Ming Yu will stay at the Su family for dinner." Pei Shi said helplessly, "Ming Yu is reluctant to part with Xiao Xiao."
"It seems that Miss Su has a lot of children. Maybe you will have a grandson next year." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
Pei Shi nodded with a smile, "Then I can't ask for more."
"When will you move out?" Ye Zhen sat down beside Pei Shi.
"After the New Year, I will let people clean up the mansion on the fourth day of the New Year." Pei Shi said.
Ye Zhen nodded with satisfaction. That's more like it.
Lu Xiangzhi only returned after lunch time with Ming Yu. Perhaps she was too tired from playing, the little girl's round cheeks were still flushed red. With her two pouch buns, she looked like a pink dumpling. Pei shi's heart melted when she saw such a cute granddaughter.
"Why don't you come back after going to Little Aunt's house? Can't Grandmother play with you? Can't Little Aunt play with you?" Pei Shi held Ming Yu and asked, pretending to be jealous.
Ming Yu blinked her doe-like eyes, thought for a moment and said, "Little Uncle told me that he was going to find Little Aunt. In fact, I like Grandmother the most."
"…" Lu Xiangzhi, who was betrayed, stared awkwardly. "When did I say that?"
"Yesterday!" Ming Yu said in a sweet voice, "You said that you missed Little Aunt and would take me to find her."
Pei Shi looked at her blushing son and couldn't help laughing. "Children don't lie. Our Ming Yu is the most obedient."
Not long after, Ming Xi and Yan Xiaoliu also returned. Looking at Ming Xi's smiling face, it seemed that he had gained a lot in the Xu family.
"What did you do in the Xu family's house?" Ye Zhen asked her son with a smile.
"Happy New Year." Ming Xi replied, "I also played chess with Xu Jinbei. Mother, when can Xu Jinbei enter the palace?"
Ye Zhen thought for a while before she learned that Xu Jinbei was Elder Xu's grandson and that Ming Xi had chosen him as a study companion not long ago.
"He can enter the palace after the New Year." Ye Zhen smiled.
Ming Xi's lips curved into a smile, looking very satisfied.
Ye Zhen chuckled in her heart. Her son was still a clingy little ball before he was three years old. Somehow, he gradually became so mature. If Mo Rongzhan hadn't said that he was like this when he was a child, she would have suspected that she had been stimulated.
Ye Zhen wanted to stay at the Lu family's house for a longer time, but not long after the afternoon, Xue Lin hurried to tell Ye Zhen that the emperor had left the capital and asked her to hurry back to the palace.
When she returned to the palace, Ye Zhen learned that Tang Zhen had an accident and that the person who sent him back was Song Jiong.
"Where did the emperor go?" Ye Zhen asked Xue Lin.
Xue Lin replied in a low voice, "After the emperor saw Marquis Jingning, he left with General Ye and Lord Shen. He said that he would be out of the city for a few days."
Something big had happened!
Ye Zhen took a deep breath. She was no longer the little girl who had never experienced storms. No matter what happened, she should calm down first.
"Where is Song Jiong?" Ye Zhen asked. Song Jiong had always been with Murong Ke. If he had returned, it meant that Murong Ke had also returned. Since he was back, why didn't he come to see her?
Xue Lin said, "Niang niang, Song Jiong is in the Imperial Hospital, and so is Marquis Jingning."
Ye Zhen then remembered Tang Zhen. "What happened to Marquis Jingning? Was he injured? "
"It seems that he was poisoned. Now the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital are helpless." Xue Lin frowned.
Poisoned? Ye Zhen's face changed slightly. She remembered that Mo Rongzhan had left the capital at this time. She was afraid that Tang Zhen was not poisoned. She remembered the poison still in the pharmacy.
"Follow me to the Imperial Hospital!" Ye Zhen said calmly.
