The adopted daughter returns with a new face

The emperor looked at the person in front of him, who seemed to be very casual in his speech, yet every word he said seemed to be keeping people at a distance. He couldn't help but want to see what kind of face was under the mask.

"Mr. Lan is free and easy, but the Crown Princess has just given birth and her body is not yet stable. Maybe we have to ask Mr. Lan to stay in the Lan Mansion for a while."

Lan Rufeng understood immediately after hearing this. It was the emperor's suspicious nature that was causing all this trouble. He smiled faintly and said, "Then I will respectfully obey your orders and can only disturb you at the Prince Consort's residence."

"Eunuch Zhao, go and get me a thousand taels of silver." The emperor ordered Zhao An who was standing aside.

"I'll go right away." Zhao An responded and went down.

"I wonder where Mr. Lan is from?" the emperor asked again.

This really made Lan Rufeng ask. Thinking of Feng Qingge saying that the Lan family was rare in the South Country, she told Lin Ruyan that her grandfather gave her the name, so she had to lie: "Your Majesty, I am from Liangzhou."

"Is there anyone with the surname Lan in Liangzhou?" The emperor looked at Lan Ruyun and saw him shaking his head. He couldn't help but suspect that this guy was lying.

"Mr. Lan, is there anyone with the surname Lan in Liangzhou? Why have I never heard of him?" Lin Ruyan reminded Lan Rufeng not to deceive the emperor.

"Liangzhou is so big, and the common people live in the countryside. The princess may not have heard of it." Lan Rufeng smiled, wishing Zhao An would come back quickly, take the silver bill and leave, so that the emperor would not keep asking him questions.

"Didn't Mr. Lan say that he forgot to bring his travel permit when he came to the capital with his mother? It happens that you will be going to the Ministry of Revenue with me the next day. I will ask someone to get one for Mr. Lan." Lan Ruyun took the opportunity to say.

"No hurry, no hurry. Didn't the emperor ask me to disturb you at the Prince Consort's residence? There's no rush to do it later." Lan Rufeng quickly calmed Lan Ruyu who was stabbing him in the back, and raised his hand to brush away the hair on his forehead.

The emperor immediately suspected that there was something wrong with the person in front of him, and gave Lan Ruyun a look. Lan Ruyun nodded calmly, knowing that the emperor wanted him to investigate Lan Rufeng.

"Since Master Lan is not in a hurry, you can wait until the Crown Princess is well again, and then come with me to the Ministry of Revenue to handle it." Lan Ruyun agreed to Lan Rufeng.

“Okay…” Lan Rufeng agreed immediately, feeling very uncomfortable. It was true that emperors were suspicious since ancient times.

"Your Majesty, I have brought the banknotes." Zhao An finally came back with the banknotes.

The emperor waved his hand, and Zhao An brought the banknote to Lan Rufeng and said, "Young Master Lan, please."

Lan Rufeng reached out and took the banknotes from the plate, then stood up and bowed to the emperor, saying, "I thank the emperor for his reward. I will not disturb the emperor from his work and will take my leave now."

"Your servant, I will take my leave as well." Lin Ruyan and her son also stood up and took their leave, leaving the imperial study with Lan Rufeng.

"Zhao An, call Chu State Doctor." The emperor ordered Zhao An after seeing everyone leave. Zhao An nodded, turned around and left the imperial study, heading towards the Imperial Hospital to convey the emperor's order.

Lin Ruyan and Lan Ruyun, mother and son, watched Lan Rufeng walk out of the palace in silence after leaving the imperial study. The emperor suspected him, and they couldn't help him. He must be resentful at this time.

Chu Jianfeng was called to the imperial study by the emperor and asked Lan Rufeng how he treated the Crown Princess and the little prince, and reported what he saw truthfully.

"It seems that this young man is not only good at medicine, but also has hidden skills." The emperor said after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, this young man seems a bit out of place judging from his age and speech, but I really admire his medical skills. This is the first time I've seen someone use internal force to push a fetus into the birth canal, and both mother and child were born safely without any injuries. It really makes me feel incredible." Chu Jianfeng said frankly that he admired Lan Rufeng's ability.

"He looks about the same age as the crown prince, but he has such a deep accomplishment. He is truly extraordinary." The emperor also said frankly that he is excellent.

"Your Majesty, do you have any thoughts about this young man?" Chu Jianfeng asked with a smile.

"I have already tested it just now. This man doesn't like high positions and high salaries. He likes freedom. So let him live in the Lan Mansion temporarily and let Prince Lan find out the situation first." The emperor did not hide it from Chu Jianfeng.

"This is a good idea. It would be great if he could be admitted to the Imperial Medical Service." Chu Jianfeng said with some anticipation.

"I see that this man has fine features, but I can't see his full appearance clearly because he is wearing half a mask. However, from his gestures, I can feel that he is not an ordinary person. I asked him where he was from, and he said he was from Liangzhou. But General Lan shook his head at me, and it was obvious that he was deceiving the emperor," said the emperor.

"Hehe..." Chu Jianfeng stroked his beard and laughed when he heard the emperor's words: "The more secrets a person has, the more interesting he is."

"Just tell me what you have in mind! Don't play tricks on me here." The emperor looked at Chu Jianfeng, who was smiling happily, and there was a hint of blame in his words.

"Isn't it Madam Liang's birthday in a few days? Let the Liang family invite her as the guest of honor. Is the emperor afraid that he won't be able to find any flaws?" Chu Jianfeng gave the emperor direct advice.

"You are really an old fox. I understand. Go down." The emperor immediately understood Chu Jianfeng's intention and let him go down with a smile.

Chu Jianfeng bowed and turned to leave the imperial study. He also wanted to see what Lan Rufeng looked like. At such a young age, such pure and soft internal strength could not be cultivated in thirty or fifty years.

But what he didn't know was that Lan Rufeng was not very old, but she possessed the skills of Luo Wuchen, who had lived for half a century. In addition, she had been poisoned by a cold and bitten by Xiaohong, so her body naturally changed.

Lan Rufeng came back with Lin Ruyan and her son. The mother and son told Mu Liangyan that they had saved Lan Ruyu. Mu Liangyan happily thanked her and asked the kitchen to serve the meal. After lunch, she got up and went back to her room.

"Mother, husband, why does he look unhappy?" Mu Liangyan asked Lan Rufeng, who had just said "hmm" when she thanked her husband and went downstairs after having dinner with her mother.

"The Emperor asked Master Lan some questions and asked him to stay in the mansion temporarily until the Crown Princess is well again. He may have some ideas in his mind," Lin Ruyan replied.

"What did father ask him?" Mu Liangyan looked at her husband curiously.

"Let's talk about this later, ma'am. Mother is tired from all the hard work. Let her go down and rest first." Lan Ruyun said.

"Okay..." Mu Liangyan agreed.

Lin Ruyan stood up and led the maid out. She could feel that Lan Rufeng was angry. She wanted to apologize but was afraid of making him feel even more uncomfortable, so she could only endure it all the way. He got in the carriage, closed his eyes and leaned against the window without saying a word.

Mu Liangyan watched her mother leave, then pulled her husband back to her room. After closing the door, she asked him what was going on.

Lan Ruyun told his wife what had happened in a soft voice.

"So this guy is lying to the king. He must not be from Liangzhou. My husband mentioned the matter of his travel pass again, and he must be unhappy." Mu Liangyan said affirmatively after hearing this.

"No matter where he is from, the fact that he has repeatedly saved the Lan family shows that he has no ill intentions," Lan Ruyun said.

"Okay! I really want to see what he looks like. How about going to check it out tonight?" Mu Liangyan said and winked at her husband.

"The little red snake beside Master Lan is not an ordinary snake. It must be extremely poisonous. Madam, do you really want me to investigate?" Lan Ruyun looked at his wife with a smile.

"Then forget it. My husband is more important." Mu Liangyan shook her head and refused when she heard it.

Lan Ruyun raised his hand and lightly touched his wife's nose, smiled dotingly and said: "Since the emperor has left people in the mansion, then we should entertain them well, and other ladies should not be curious."

"Hmm..." Mu Liangyan nodded and held her husband's hand and said, "Husband, Liangcheng already has a child, shouldn't we also consider it?"

"Madam, aren't you afraid that your husband will change his mind?" Lan Ruyun asked with a smile.

"Hate it. I hadn't even met my husband at that time, so how could I know what kind of person he was? Naturally I wanted to get to know him better before I considered it." Mu Liangyan was embarrassed and acted coquettishly.

"Madam, your husband understands your feelings, so as to say, I will wait for the clouds to clear and see the moon. I will not let you down by marrying you as my wife." Lan Ruyun smiled and pulled his wife into his arms. God will not let down those who work hard. After more than two years, he finally got what he wanted.
