Chapter 29

Sitting on a high position, Lu Yu asked nonchalantly, "Is it really Si He who was healed by a doctor?"

"Yes." Gardener Old Wu lowered his head, crying in agony.The young master put him and Ma Xiaoqi's relatives under surveillance and used them as a threat. Compared with the money given by the Second Highness, the lives of these relatives are much more important. "Madam once saved the life of this wandering doctor. A few days ago, when he passed by Si's mansion, he gave the young master a bottle of ointment, and the wound healed much faster."

"Ma Xiaoqi, is that so?" Lu Yu glanced at Ma Xiaoqi, who knelt down on the ground, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes, yes."

"Okay, let's go." Lu Yu waved his hand, obviously a little impatient: "I'll report something later.

After Lao Wu and Ma Xiaoqi left, the maidservant He Gu standing behind Lu Yu smiled and asked, "What kind of answer does the Fourth Highness want?"

She has been by Lu Yu's side for several years, and she can be regarded as one of Lu Yu's few servants who can be trusted.Lu Yu appreciates her decisive style of dealing with things, and he thinks he has similarities with He Gu.

"I saw him recover like a normal person in just a few days. I thought..." Lu Yu frowned and said, "I thought he was rescued by an expert."

He saw that Si He didn't want to talk too much about this matter, and he also heard that outsiders have been coming in and out of Si's mansion recently, so he felt suspicious, but after hearing from the two people, if it was indeed a wandering doctor, he might be a little more mysterious. It is also normal.

"Your Highness the Fourth Highness does not need to be too obsessed with Master Shu." He Gu comforted him, "Now that Marquis Ren Bo has stood with His Highness Fourth, this power should not be underestimated. Besides, in this vast world, Master Shu It's hard to find, and it doesn't happen overnight, Fourth Highness, don't hurt yourself because of this matter."

Lu Yu nodded, bent his joints and tapped lightly on the table: "How is the prince now?"

"I heard from people in the palace that the crown prince often goes in and out of His Majesty's study these days, and even the crown princess is often invited by the empress to talk in the palace." He Gu replied respectfully.

"The crown prince has a father-in-law like Si Pingchuan, so his knowledge and conversation are different." Lu Yu said with a sneer, "It's better to be taught by Si Pingchuan."

He Gu slightly frowned and said: "The Sifu has made it clear that he is the crown prince's backer. Your Highness is still walking so close to the young master of the Sifu. This servant is worried..."

"I don't want him to come closer, how can I bring down the prince in the future." Lu Yu smiled lightly, "If he is more sensible and willing to join me, I will not treat him badly. If he has no eyesight, then I will Don’t be too nostalgic.”

He Gu nodded and smiled, "This servant is still puzzled, so His Royal Highness has already made plans."

"It's natural." Lu Yu smiled lightly, "Each chess piece has its own purpose. For now, I don't want to throw away any of them."

……

After Si He changed his clothes, he prepared to go out with Ji Wanghuai to visit the families of those surnamed Mu.The inn where Ji Wanghuai lived was not far from Sifu, he was used to not going through the main entrance, and went over the wall to look for Sihe every day.

"Let's go." Seeing Ji Wanghuai standing in front of the house, Si He trotted over, fearing that he would wait for a long time.

"Wait." While talking, Ji Wanghuai went back to the room to get a black gauze bamboo hat from Si He's room and put it on, "In order not to trouble you."

"Why didn't you wear that dress today?" Si He looked at him curiously.Ji Wanghuai only wore a simple black brocade robe today, without the fur-collared cloak, it would not stand out among the crowd.

"The cold poison is almost gone," Ji Wanghuai explained with a smile, "It has recovered a lot now, but I still feel a little chilly at night."

Jiuqing and Yu Jiang were already waiting outside the door with their swords in their arms. Seeing them coming out together, the four of them started chatting and laughing.The feeling of the four of them investigating together is still quite strange, but this time, the relationship between Si He and the other three has become much more familiar.

It was Jiuqing who secretly told Si He about Ji Wanghuai's marriage to Princess Linyuan.Jiuqing has a pure personality and is much more interesting than the steady Yu Jiang. Si He also loves to chat and have fun with him.

He sneaked a glance at Ji Wanghuai, but he still couldn't help it, and couldn't help asking: "Ji Wanghuai... so what, have you set a date for your marriage?"

Ji Wanghuai's face was covered by a black veil, Si He couldn't see his expression clearly, but Ji Wanghuai paused and asked, "What date of marriage?"

Si He coughed pretendingly, and said with a smile: "You must have forgotten the wedding date with Princess Linyuan, right?"

Ji Wanghuai had this expression, but Si He didn't know what tone to use.

"There is no wedding date." Ji Wanghuai's tone was flat, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, "I rejected the eighth princess."

Si He was silent. He had heard that Qi Guo's military strength is not optimistic. In addition, Cheng Guo is often under pressure and the army's morale is weak. It is uncertain when there will be another great battle. Lin Yuan is like their best backer. .

"It's fine to refuse." Si He squinted his eyes and yawned: "I don't owe others, and I don't look at other people's faces."

Ji Wanghuai also smiled, he really thought so too, but his smile was hidden behind the black veil, no one saw it.

After leaving two families surnamed Mu in a row, they all returned in vain.Si He didn't understand, and only heard that Ji Wanghuai and Yu Jiang went to knock on the door to talk, but they came back shaking their heads without saying a few words.

"Isn't it right?" Si He folded his arms, chatted with Jiuqing and waited for them under the tree, seeing the two shaking their heads, he smiled and comforted him: "It's okay, there is still a family here. "

Qiguo's King Wen didn't send anyone else, but only sent his own son, and the importance can be imagined.But Ji Wanghuai only relied on one sign, so it might be difficult to find someone.

"This winter—it's coming—" Si He looked up at the bare tree branches and the gray sky, feeling hopeful in his heart.

"Sihe," Ji Wanghuai suddenly turned his head and asked without thinking, "Why do you keep looking forward to winter?"

Si He was startled, and the words he was about to blurt out were swallowed by him again, but he quickly figured out that he didn't have to hide from Ji Wanghuai, now that Ji Wanghuai knew too many secrets about him, objectively speaking, he Ji Wanghuai had already grasped the handle of this.

Besides, Ji Wanghuai——

Barely a good guy.

"Because there may be a big change in Chengguo in winter." He licked his dry lips, although as a Chengguo person, it was inappropriate for him to talk about this matter with the prince of Qiguo.

But everything in the future has long been secretly arranged by fate, it is inevitable, and it cannot be changed by Si He alone.

"Why do you know." Ji Wanghuai squinted his eyes, "Did your fourth prince tell you?"

"No." Si He replied bluntly. The reason for his death in his previous life was not only because Lu Yu married the princess, and he was so angry that he hurt Lu Yu, there was also a part of the reason, which he didn't tell anyone at the time.

——Lu Yu wanted to rebel and threatened him by using himself as an excuse.

Ji Wanghuai knew that there were some things that could not be said about destiny, and as the prince of the enemy country, he shouldn't inquire too much.Then they made an excuse and changed the subject, at least they wouldn't feel too heavy talking.

……

When they reached the last family surnamed Mu, the four of them were all stunned.

This is a small courtyard house that is not too big. The door panel has been damaged and aged. When the wind blows, it makes a creaking sound, which hurts people's eardrums.The eaves were covered with cobwebs, and the steps in front of the door were covered with fallen leaves.

"Is anyone there?" Ji Wanghuai pushed the door away and stepped in. A mouse sneaked away along the corner of the wall. He stood on the steps and looked around the old courtyard house on three sides. The house was damp and dark, it seemed like It has been uninhabited for a long time.

"Old man, I want to ask, is this Mu family still alive?" Si He asked with a smile on his face, pulling an old man passing by.

"You mean this Mu Langzhong's family?" The old man waved his hands again and again, "He's dead long ago."

Si He hurriedly thanked him, seeing Ji Wanghuai coming out of the room, so he stepped forward and said: "Don't look, this family has passed away."

"Passed away?" Ji Wanghuai frowned, apparently in disbelief.

In that case, the family named Mu couldn't be found?But what is the purpose of the father looking for this family?At that time, time was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to ask clearly, so I simply went back and asked carefully.

"Second Highness, what about us?" Yu Jiang asked cautiously, should he just go back home or continue to search for his whereabouts.

Ji Wanghuai originally wanted to talk about going back to Yecheng, but after a flash, he saw Si He standing by himself, looking around restlessly, but actually listening with his ears up, he laughed for a moment, and said what was on his mind He came out: "Stay here for now, Jiuqing, I will write a letter tonight, and you will leave early tomorrow morning and send me back to Yecheng."

When Si He heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they still have to play for a few more days, otherwise it would be too boring for him alone.

"How is it?" Ji Wanghuai walked up to him with his hands behind his back, with a smile in his eyes: "Are you satisfied with this answer?"
