It was late at night, Prince An's Mansion was no longer as ostentatious as in the past, and the night lights were turned off early.
Zhou Ling was carving a Pixiu in the guest room, but he accidentally scratched his hand.
Gu Yan saw it and his eyes flashed slightly.
This is already the eighth time that Master Qi has scratched his hand tonight. Not only is it dripping with blood, but it also overlaps and looks like scars from whips, which is shocking.
Just when Gu Yan was hesitating whether he should remind Master Qi to go to bed because it was late at night, there was suddenly a burst of urgent footsteps outside.
Gu Zizhen pushed the door open and came in carelessly, which made Gu Yan's heart skip a beat, fearing that he would hit the muzzle of a gun.
Fortunately, Master Qi never angered others because of his own emotions. He just asked calmly: "Why are you so panicked?"
Gu Zizhen swallowed his saliva and said nervously: "A monk came to the courtyard. He is very young and his kung fu is unfathomable. He seemed to appear out of thin air and asked to see Master Qi by name."
Gu Yan was so anxious that he wanted to go out and asked: "Where did the monk come from..."
Zhou Ling raised his head and called to Gu Yan: "Wait, why are you panicking?"
"If that person really knew, it wouldn't be the monks who came, but the Imperial Guards."
Zhou Ling said, and said to Gu Zizhen: "Push me out and take a look."
Gu Zizhen hesitated, but still did it.
Soon, they arrived outside the hospital.
Not far away, the monk wearing gray robes is a young man. He looks to be in his early twenties. He has outstanding appearance and gentle eyebrows. He seems to be born with a spring breeze-like warmth, which makes him not annoying.
Zhou Ling asked: "Who is your Excellency? Why do you come to me?"
The monk clasped his hands together and said: "Master Qi just asked me to make my heart clear. I am here to make a deal with Master Qi."
Zhou Ling didn't panic when he saw his identity revealed at a glance, and still asked calmly: "What kind of deal?"
Ming Xin said: "I can treat Master Qi's leg so that Master Qi can stand up intact and walk like a normal person."
Gu Yan and Gu Zizhen couldn't hold back their excitement, but they also remained skeptical and didn't dare to believe it.
Only Zhou Ling, who may have been diagnosed by Wang Xiu first, was not too surprised.
Instead, ask directly: “What are the conditions?”
Ming Xin said: "Seventh Master will leave the capital after he recovers. Don't ask about the affairs of the East Palace and the Lu family again."
Zhou Ling was extremely curious. This monk really had some background. He even knew that he wanted to fight Lu Yunhong.
But doesn't this mean that he will be afraid?
Zhou Ling said: "What if I don't agree?"
Mingxin put his hands together and recited the Buddha's name.
Then he stepped back and said coldly: "If you do this, I'm afraid Ming Xin will be offended many times in the future."
Zhou Ling calmed down, and his intuition told him that this Mingxin was not easy to deal with.
He paused and said slowly: "Wang Xiu has already said that she will treat my foot injury."
Ming smiled knowingly, and there was a soft light in his eyes, as dazzling as pearls, but so pure that it made people feel warm.
Just listen to him say: "I know, but she can only help you walk, she cannot let you be like a normal person."
At this moment, Zhou Ling had to face Ming Xin's words seriously.
He looked at Mingxin again and asked seriously: "Why? Give me a reason!"
"What I'm talking about is, why do you have to stand up and clean up the mess for Lu Yunhong?"
Mingxin listened and answered seriously: "It's not because of Lu Yunhong, it's because of my junior sister, Wang Xiu."
Zhou Ling was shocked, Wang Xiu turned out to be Ming Xin's junior sister.
He suddenly thought that what King An said was that the current Wang Xiu was not the real Wang Xiu, but a "strange soul".
He immediately said: "Is it because Wang Xiu is different?"
Mingxin knew that he was referring to Wang Xiu's time travel, so she nodded and said, "Yes."
After Zhou Ling heard this, he glanced at his feet.
After a long time, he slowly nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you."
"But... I also have a condition."
Mingxin seemed to have guessed it a long time ago and said, "I promise to tell you everything about her."
Zhou Ling raised his eyes in surprise, but saw Ming Xin smiling and said calmly: "Anyway... you will know sooner or later."
…
The morning after Lu Yunhong and Wang Xiu returned to the Lu family, Ye Zhiqiu took his apprentice Liu Qingzhu and waited for the door of his house to open.
When Lu Yunhong and Wang Xiu got up, they heard Qian Liangcai say that the master and apprentice had been waiting for an hour.
Wang Xiu urged Lu Yunhong to entertain them and ask if there was anything urgent.
As a result, Lu Yunhong came back after a short trip, with a puzzled look on his face and said: "Looking for Mingxin."
Wang Xiu was stunned: "Why did you come to our mansion to find Mingxin?"
Lu Yunhong spread his hands and looked helpless: "Who knows?"
"Daochang Ye said that he felt that Mingxin was coming, but Mingxin did not go to see him. He said that Mingxin would definitely come to our mansion, and he wanted to stay first. I asked Qian Liangcai to arrange for them to go to the guest room."
Wang Xiudao: "What a big deal, I still think our mansion is not lively enough."
"With that said, I sent someone to deliver a message to Pei Shan, so that he could take Liu Qingzhu around."
In this way, master and apprentice Ye Zhiqiu settled down in the Lu family.
At the time of application, a decree was sent to the palace to allow Lu Yunhong to enter the palace.
At Youshi, Lu Yunhong had not returned yet, and Huang Shaoyu came.
He came to report to Wang Xiu and said: "The emperor transferred Yunhong to the Ministry of Rites and was promoted to Zuo Shilang. He has already sent documents to notify various ministries. However, the emperor seems to intend to keep Yunhong for dinner, so he is afraid that he will have to do it tonight.
Come back late."
Wang Xiudao: "That's okay. We never wait for him to eat anyway."
Huang Shaoyu smiled and was about to leave, but Wang Xiu quickly said: "There are still guests in the house. Master Ye Zhiqiu, his disciple, and Mr. Huang should have dinner together before going back."
Huang Shaoyu declined politely: "Brothers and sisters, don't bother me. I'm just afraid that you'll worry, so I stopped by to say something. My uncle at home is still waiting for me to go back, so I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, he handed over and left.
Wang Xiu watched him leave, and when he saw Lu Yunzhu from a distance, he chased after him with his head tilted up, and couldn't help laughing for a moment.
"That little tabby cat at home is going to climb over the wall."
Wang Xiu joked.
Lu Yunzhu turned around and found her sister-in-law watching. She stamped her feet in shame and quickly ran away.
Qian Liangcai smiled and explained: "I just passed by the pavilion and heard the third lady and the second lady saying that they wanted to apologize."
Wang Xiu said in a good mood: "Don't worry about them, girls will always have their own little secrets when they grow up."
Qian Liangcai nodded and quickly went to work.
It was not until the time of Xu that Lu Yunhong came back.
After drinking, he staggered when he walked, his eyes were red, but the look he looked at Wang Xiu seemed to be mixed with honey, making him particularly clingy.
After he hurriedly washed up, he pulled Wang Xiu and sat on the Arhat bed.
"Daughter-in-law, I originally wanted to take you around, but now I can't."
"I'm sorry, my husband will definitely take you on a sightseeing tour in the future. We will visit famous mountains and rivers, beyond the Great Wall, to Guangxi, to Datong..."
Wang Xiu watched him draw the pie, and when he made it look edible, he mercilessly pointed out: "Lu Zhuangyuan, in two years, your son will go to a private school."
"Traveling around the mountains and rivers, I think you are dreaming!"
Lu Yunhong: "..." There is a faint resentment and grievance.
"Even so, my love for you is true."
"Daughter-in-law, how can you expose my fantasy without mercy?"
Wang Xiu smiled disdainfully: "You said it was just a fantasy, why do you need me to poke you?"
Lu Yunhong hugged her slender waist and said shamelessly: "I don't care, you have to compensate me, compensate me for my famous mountains and rivers, compensate me for my spring outing in the western suburbs, compensate me... live a good life."
As he spoke, his big hands smoothly hugged Wang Xiu's thigh.
Pretending to be determined not to give up until the goal is achieved?
Wang Xiu held his head against his head, grinding his teeth secretly and said: "Next time whoever asks you to go drinking, I will definitely blacklist him!!"
Lu Yunhong's eyes were red, his smile was full of pride, and he couldn't help but joked: "Blacklist? What blacklist?"
Wang Xiu knew that he was a little drunk, so he didn't intend to pay attention to him.
Who would have thought that Lu Yunhongshi said something shocking: "It's your...that blacklist who makes phone calls and is like a telegraph, right?"
Wang Xiu thought he was confused, but it didn't seem to be the case.
She asked: "You...what did you say?"
Lu Yunhong suddenly froze, his red eyes tightened for a moment, and he sat up all of a sudden.
But it was his nonchalant demeanor that instantly made Wang Xiu alert.
