Chapter 38 Itchy Hands
After the carriage entered the city, Lu Wan asked the carriage driver not to go back home yet, but to go around in a circle to pick up Wei Zhai.
Shiweizhai is the most famous pastry shop in Beijing. Lu Wan bought several pastries. After dinner, he packed the purchased pastries in food boxes and took them to the study to find Lu Chengyu.
Lu Chengyu was quite surprised to see her coming.
Before, Lu Wan had never set foot in the study, and she never took the initiative to look for him. She stayed in her own yard every day and rarely walked outside.
"Why are you here?"
Lu Wan opened the food box and said with a smile: "Brother has been working hard these days to catch assassins. When I went out today, I stopped by the pastry shop and bought some of your favorite pastries to reward you."
Lu Chengyu recognized at a glance that this pastry came from Shiweizhai, which was not on the same road as her going to Changhua Temple. He guessed that she had bought it for him on purpose, and he felt warm in his heart. He put down what he was doing and ate it after washing his hands.
stand up.
Lu Wan poured tea for him and asked casually: "How is the assassin's matter?"
Lu Chengyu shook his head and said worriedly: "Shangshangjing is such a big place, it's not easy to find someone."
"Don't you have any clue?"
Because Lu helped the Lu family avoid punishment for the first time that night, Lu Chengyu became a little closer to this concubine, so he didn't hide it from her: "I only know that he was injured when he fought with King Yi, and I don't know anything about the rest.
"
Lu Wan sighed and said, "It's quite difficult to put it this way. If the assassin is never found, will the emperor blame us again?"
Lu Chengyu knew that she was timid, so he smiled and reassured her: "That's not true. Not only do we have no news about the assassins here, but Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment are also at a loss. Your Majesty can't blame our family alone."
Lu Chengyu works in the Ministry of Justice, so he knows the news from several parties.
"Furthermore, His Royal Highness King Yi has moved back to Prince Yi's Mansion from the palace today. I saw him today and from what he said, he seems to want to investigate the matter personally. I think there will be no need for us to intervene soon."
Lu Wan smiled and said, "That's good."
Seeing her innocent and honest look, Lu Chengyu wanted to give her a hint.
"Ah Wan, I heard that King Rui came to see you two days ago, but did he want to discuss with you the date of engagement?"
Lu Wan shook her head: "No."
Knowing that she was dull, Lu Chengyu stopped talking to her.
"In the palace a few days ago, I heard that Qin Tianjian had re-selected a date for your appointment. I guess he was busy and forgot about it. You might as well ask him next time you see him."
Lu Wan hummed.
Seeing that she didn't care at all, Lu Chengyu couldn't help but warn her again: "Only when the engagement is officially accepted, your marriage to Prince Rui will be considered final. You must remember it..."
Before he finished speaking, he felt a sudden pain in his stomach and quickly got up and went to the hut.
When he came back, he saw that the food box on the table had fallen to the ground and the cakes were scattered all over the floor.
Lu Wan was squatting on the ground to pick it up. When he saw him coming back, he said embarrassedly: "I accidentally knocked it over... I will buy it for my brother next time."
Lu Chengyu didn't care about these boxes of cakes. He happened to have a stomachache and couldn't eat any more. Seeing that it was getting late, he urged her to go back and rest.
Lu Wan still tidied up the floor obediently before leaving.
Returning to Qinghuai Pavilion, she ordered Lancao to close the door, empty out the remaining cakes in the food box, and take out a booklet from the bottom.
By the light of the lamp, she carefully rummaged through page after page, and she read through it all night long.
Although Lancao didn't know what she was doing, seeing her eyes turned red, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken and said: "Miss, why don't we watch tomorrow, it's almost dawn..."
Lu Wan said anxiously: "I took this booklet out from the study secretly. I have to use it and return it as soon as possible to avoid being discovered."
Lan Cao had no choice but to light the wick for her and stay with her.
Seeing that she had turned to the last page and still hadn't found the answer, Lu Wan couldn't help but feel anxious - had she guessed wrong?
The fire of hope in her heart was about to be extinguished, but when she saw the last page, her eyes suddenly lit up...
At dawn, at the door of Prince Yi's Mansion, Lu Wan, dressed as a servant, took out the blood jade ring and said that he wanted to see Prince Yi, but was told by the guard that His Highness Prince Yi had gone to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to inspect the camp before dawn.
I won't be back for two days.
Just as Lu Wan was about to turn back, Changting happened to come out of the house. She guessed that he was going to the military camp, so she asked him to take her to see Li Yi.
That bloody jade finger was a disaster if it was left on her body. Now that the matter was done, Lu Wan was determined to return it to him as soon as possible. She also settled the two matters he had entrusted to her and had nothing to do with him from now on.
Although she was good at bringing in outsiders, it was against military regulations for a woman to enter the camp, but Changting knew that her master had sent something to her, so she must have something to report when she came so early.
So I found a carriage for her and rode out of the city to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing...
Less than half an hour later, they arrived at the camp. Lu Wan opened the car curtain and got out of the car. When he saw everything in front of him, he was shocked!
I could only see thousands of soldiers standing neatly on the training ground as far as the eye could see, all of them standing solemnly and full of vitality.
In the huge training ground, except for the whining sound blown by the wind, no other sounds could be heard.
Suddenly, a burst of drums sounded, exciting and exciting, and a team of cavalry galloped towards the dianjiang platform.
The leader is none other than Li Yi.
He was dressed in black iron armor, with a cloak of the same color on his shoulders, and a red tassel gun in his hand, like black lightning, but in an instant, he was in front of the commander's stage.
He turned over and dismounted and mounted the general's platform, his cloak rustling. A red sun rose slowly behind him, illuminating the dark iron armor on his body with a dazzling cold light. His whole body was like the red-tasseled spear in his hand, standing tall and tall.
, show off your edge!
Looking at the man in front of her, Lu Wan couldn't help but think of that day in the wing room when she pressed him under her and took off his clothes. She was so scared that her heart trembled.
She is so bold, she is obviously looking for death...
Lu Wan suddenly lost the courage to see him.
She handed the blood jade ring to Changting and asked him to hand it over to Li Yi, but Changting was stubborn and refused.
He took her to a military tent and asked her to wait for Li Yi here.
I don't know if it was because Li Yi's command of the three armies was too shocking just now, or because everything in the military camp was too solemn, but Lu Wan felt uncomfortable and could not sit still while staying in the military tent.
I don't know how much time had passed, but just when Lu Wan couldn't hold on any longer and was about to put down his thumb and leave quietly, there were footsteps outside the door, the door curtain was opened, and Li Yi strode in.
As soon as he came in, his eyes were fixed on the woman dressed as a servant.
Although her figure is thin, she is exquisite and graceful. She is usually invisible under her skirt and shirt, but now she is dressed in a neat little girl's uniform, which shows all her strengths.
The chest was round and swollen, and the waist was narrowed by the belt, as if it could be broken by pinching it.
My mind suddenly recalled that day in Yanyu Tower, when she was squeezed into the crowd dressed in men's clothing and had her waist pinched and her butt touched.
His fingers felt flexed and stretched, and Li Yi suddenly felt itchy...
