Seeing the change in Di Xin's face, Lu Ran felt a little calmer. Any individual would be tempted by such a large amount of money, and it seemed that His Royal Highness Prince Yu was not exempt from the same temptation.
However, his words were not over yet: "Your Highness, I humbly agreed to hand over the greeting card to the wealthy businessman. The reason is not just that."
Di Xin looked away from the invitation: "Oh, what other reasons are there?"
At this moment, Lu Ran suddenly left his seat, knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me for overstepping my position."
"Get up and talk."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
After standing up, Lu Ran did not sit down again. He bowed slightly and said, "When I chatted with the wealthy businessman yesterday, I found that he is not only a businessman, but also has certain research in medicine."
"Therefore, I have the audacity to humble myself and tell His Highness your physical condition... without your consent."
Di Xin's eyes dimmed in response, and then he waved his hands nonchalantly and said, "What's the crime? I can't hide my physical condition, so I just said it out loud. It's nothing."
"only……"
Di Xin looked hesitant and hesitated for a moment before asking, "I wonder if that wealthy businessman has any good ideas?"
Both his expression and his tone of voice clearly conveyed the hint of longing but didn't seem to let anyone know.
Lu Ran didn't see the problem. He chuckled in his heart and said seriously: "The wealthy businessman was also undecided and said that he needed to examine your body before making a conclusion. I was worried about wasting time and missing things, so I
Come and report to His Highness in person."
"That's not...ahem..."
Di Xin hurriedly stood up, coughed twice and then reacted, and sat back calmly: "Since Lu Tong knows that he has intentions, I will not be respectful. You can just bring him here at noon tomorrow."
"I humble my duty and obey my orders."
"Thank you... cough cough... Thank you for your help. I'll go with you..."
Di Xin's face seemed to be a little pale because he got up too quickly. He coughed several times before he recovered. Then he remembered something and continued: "It's almost lunch time, cough... Lu Tongzhi, if nothing happens,
, how about you stay and have a meal together?”
"Ahem..."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."
Lu Ran made a look of embarrassment: "It's just that I have unfinished official duties in the Yamen. This rush out has already delayed a lot of time. Now that I have reported the matter to His Highness, I won't bother you any more."
"That's...okay."
Di Xin took a breath and said with a regretful look: "Official affairs are our top priority, so I won't force you to stay with me, but I'll just make sure you don't refuse when you have free time next time."
"sure."
Lu Ran cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I will retire from my humble position first."
"Lu Tongzhi, walk slowly. If you are here to be blessed, why don't you send Lu Tongzhi out quickly?"
The friendly attitude was different from when Lu Ran first came in.
After Lu Ran left the hall, Di Xin seemed to have changed his face. He instantly put away the smile on his face and his eyes fell on the invitation in his hand again.
If Di Xin really had his foundation destroyed and longed to be cured, he might have taken it for granted in a hurry, but that was not the case. The so-called inability to practice was just false news he had spread.
Therefore, Di Xin was not as anxious as he appeared on the surface, but was very calm, so he was able to analyze the matter from the most rational perspective.
On the surface, there seems to be nothing wrong with this matter from beginning to end, but after a closer look, you can feel that something is wrong.
A wealthy businessman who came to the border wanted to visit General Zhenguan here. After looking around, he found the commander of the capital, Tongzhi. After making a request, he unintentionally revealed his research on medicine.
Then it happened that His Royal Highness Prince Yu was seriously ill, so it was logical that even if it was a dead horse being treated as a living horse doctor, Lu Ran would present the invitation for him.
If you connect everything together, you will find that it is all too coincidental, and even a little too coincidental.
"It seems that some people can't bear it anymore."
Di Xin narrowed his eyes slightly and threw the greeting card aside. There was definitely something wrong with this wealthy businessman, but what he would do specifically would be revealed tomorrow.
If he wanted to take advantage of his "complete loss of cultivation" to deal with him, then he wouldn't mind giving him a big surprise.
There is still a day left, so there is no need to rush now.
At the entrance of the General's Mansion, after Lu Ran went out, he said politely: "Mr. Laifu, just send it here."
Although Laifu, a third-rank official in front of the prime minister, is only a small housekeeper in the general's palace, in the eyes of outsiders, he is still a person who belongs to the general's palace. Facing the people of the general's palace, they will unconsciously show some respect.
Otherwise, if Laifu goes back and says something bad about them in front of His Royal Highness Prince Yu, there is no telling when the little shoes from the General's Mansion will come due to the difference between them.
Laifu was obviously very impressed by this call, sir, and he squinted his eyes and laughed.
However, he did not forget his identity, but bowed slightly and said: "Master Lu, just let me send you the blessing. Then I won't send you more. You go slowly."
"Easy to say, easy to say..."
After saying a few polite words, Lu Ran turned around and walked towards the Yamen of the Commander-in-Chief Department.
After turning the corner and losing sight of the General's Mansion, the enthusiasm on Lu Ran's face disappeared, replaced by a sneer: "Sure enough, given the reason for treatment, Prince Yu immediately agreed."
In the General's Mansion, Di Xin slowly sipped the tea that Laifu had brought before him. After Laifu came in and reported that Lu Ran had completely left the General's Mansion, he stood up and left the hall.
As soon as I walked to the backyard, I saw Song Qianwei.
Song Qianwei was sitting in the pavilion, as if she was wandering in the world, her eyes were looking somewhere, and she didn't notice it until Di Xin walked up to her.
"What are you thinking about?"
The sudden sound startled Song Qianwei, and she instantly appeared outside the pavilion like an arrow.
Then Song Qianwei realized that this was the backyard of the General's Mansion and there was no danger. Her reaction was a bit excessive.
"I didn't know people could be scary..."
Looking back, she instinctively wanted to express anger, but she saw His Royal Highness Prince Yu looking at her in a friendly manner next to her original stool in the pavilion after she had just overreacted.
Song Qianwei was stunned on the spot.
Di Xin looked at Song Qianwei, who was a little strange today, and asked in confusion: "What's going on?"
"No...I'm fine. I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."
As soon as the words fell, Song Qianwei left the backyard as if she had been bitten by an insect and fled in a panic.
Di Xin shook his head helplessly and did not pursue it.
After being ordered to go down to the backyard and not allow anyone to enter for the time being, he assumed a strange posture.
