Painting Doctor Jinhua

Madam Wei was rudely put into a guard's attire by Lu Yu, and then "protected" by two guards as she walked out of the back door of the embassy. She came and left in a hurry. She entered through the main door in glory, and left through the back door in disgrace.

I was invited to drink tea for an hour and was asked a few questions?

Madam Wei was so angry that she had no place to vent. Then she thought of what Gao Changgong had said and couldn't help but become worried and thoughtful.

And just an hour ago, Xiao Jinyu changed into the same clothes as her, and walked out of the embassy together with Fenghuang, who was dressed as a servant.

When the two were walking on the north bank of the Qianhe River, which was lined with willows, they felt someone was following them.

But he happened to meet Li Mi and Cui Heng who were enjoying the scenery by the Qian River.

The day of the Spring Festival in March is not only the day when Minister Xu holds an elegant gathering for leisurely discussions, but also the day for scholars and noble ladies to go on spring outings. Therefore, along the way, you can see young men and women enjoying the lanterns, guessing riddles and playing. At dusk, the bustling streets with lanterns just lit are bustling with people, cars coming and going, and it looks very warm and comfortable!

"Sanlang, you look a little strange today. Have you ever seen Mr. Xie? I see how you look at him, just like the way you look at that young lady?"

Li Mi was holding a lantern, collecting a bunch of sachets, and whispering in Cui Sanlang's ear.

"Don't talk!" Cui Heng scolded.

"Well, then don't say it, but this Mr. Xie is really a man of great talent and wisdom, and his arguments today are particularly beneficial to national policy, don't you think?

If we are lucky enough to meet him, it would be a blessing. Why don't we go visit Lanling King tomorrow?"

"But after what happened today, I'm afraid Prince Lanling will have to be more cautious in his actions."

"Are you referring to the incident involving Master Huiwei in the temple? Is it not just as simple as Huiwei's assassination?"

"I have seen the file about the assassination of Lanling King's father, Emperor Wenxiang, by a group of assassins from Lanjing. The record is too simple, but it is just a piece of history that is no longer mentioned. Huiwei has already fled to the south, so why would he take the risk of assassinating Lanling King again?"

"Didn't they say that Prince Lanling has already found out his identity? Could it be that there is someone else behind Huiwei?" Li Mi also asked suspiciously.

Cui Heng nodded, suddenly stopped, stopped talking, and looked straight ahead.

Seeing his dull expression, Li Mi couldn't help but look over there, and saw Xiao Jinyu, who had disguised herself as Madam Wei, walking over with a servant. About ten steps behind them, two men were pretending to lower their heads and fiddling with a mask on a vendor's stall.

Li Mi seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly came up with an idea, so he stepped forward and teased:

"Ah! Madam Wei is out for a spring outing today too? It's been a few days since we last met, and you look even more charming and elegant!"

Seeing Li Mi say this, Xiao Jinyu also understood what he meant, and continued with a smile,

"Yes, Mr. Li, you are so kind. I wonder if Mr. Li can find a girl of his dreams? Do you need me to introduce you to someone?"

"Yes, I do, but I'm afraid you, Madam Wei, won't agree!"

Li Mi smiled awkwardly, and Xiao Jinyu also laughed along.

The two talked for a while, and then Xiao Jinyu continued to move forward. When the two people who were following him caught up, they were bumped into by Li Mi.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I received too many sachets today. The friendship of the ladies is too great. I was so happy that I forgot everything. I hope you two gentlemen can forgive me!"

When the two men looked up, they saw people coming and going on the street, but there was no sight of "Madam Wei" and the servant.

"Don't you have eyes when you walk?"

After cursing angrily, the two men ran around the street anxiously, searching separately.

After the two men walked away, Li Mi looked at Cui Heng and asked, "Those two men just now...could they be..."

Cui Heng was stunned and did not answer, but his expression made Li Mi understand what he meant.

……

When Madam Wei returned to the Xinghua Yanyu Tower, she happened to meet Xiao Jinyu and Fenghuang coming out of the tower.

"Hey, young lady, when did you come to my Xinghua Yanyu Tower again?" she asked curiously.

"I have been here for a long time, but please keep it a secret for me, Madam Wei. If anyone asks, just say that I have been discussing business with you for most of the day."

"Then what benefit can I get?" asked Madam Wei.

Xiao Jinyu smiled slightly.

"The benefit is that I will make your Xinghua Yanyu Tower famous throughout Northern Zhou and Northern Qi. I think this should be what you, Madam Wei, would like to see happen the most!"

This is indeed an extremely tempting deal, but it is also unrealistic. Why?

"Young lady, you always like to brag. In this era when wars are launched at any time, I am lucky enough to be able to support my whole family with this Xinghua Yanyu Tower. How can I expect it to flourish?"

"But Madam Wei, when have you ever seen me brag?" Xiao Jinyu asked back.

Madam Wei thought for a moment and felt that this young lady seemed to be someone who could really do what she said, and she was extremely intelligent, which was quite extraordinary. Could it be that she really had a way?

After hesitating for a while in doubt, she finally nodded with a smile.

"Okay, I, Wei Qi, will make friends with you from now on. With a genius doctor like you as a friend, I think I won't suffer any loss in the future."

"Okay! Then it's a deal! It's getting late today, I will come to Madam Wei to make an alliance in a few days!"

As if she had made a vow, Xiao Jinyu finished speaking and left with Fenghuang.

The two soon returned to the "Xiao Residence" in Jianxi Hutong.

Seeing the two of them coming back, Xiao Xian immediately came out to greet them. In fact, he had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time. Since returning from Fahua Mountain, he had been waiting for news from her.

He knew that she had entered the embassy with Lanling King under the identity of Xie Zhenzhi, but she seemed to have never come out since then.

Now she has regained her appearance like her mother.

How is this done?

"Let's go back inside and talk!"

Seeing Xiao Xian's face full of worry and concern, Xiao Jinyu said with a smile.

"No hurry, you haven't had dinner yet, right?"

After saying that, Xiao Xian asked two maids, Shi Yan and Shi Zhu, to set the table and pulled Xiao Jinyu to the front of the table.

He did not ask her why she became famous as Xie Zhenzhi, nor did he ask her what she had done today. The first thing Xiao Xian was concerned about was whether she had eaten.

This made Xiao Jinyu feel even warmer in her heart, and she trusted Xiao Xian more like a family member.

After the meal, it was almost the hour of Hai.

Xiao Jinyu asked all the maids in the courtyard to go and rest, and only asked Xiao Xian to discuss matters in the study.

In the quiet night, there were the chirping of cicadas. Xiao Jinyu didn't say anything, and Xiao Xian still had no intention of asking questions.

"I'm sorry, I made Uncle Xian worried again today." Xiao Jinyu was the first to speak, "Uncle Xian must have many questions in his mind, right?"

"If you don't want to talk, I won't ask you. Ah Yu, no matter what happens, I will always believe in you, the you of today!"

So it’s not that he didn’t doubt her identity, he just believed in everything she did unconditionally!

Or rather, he was unwilling to accept the cruel truth...

"But, Ah Yu, since you have become famous under the name of Xie Zhen, and Lanling Wang has already stated that you are his staff, how will you enter the Southern Chen in the future?"

Xiao Xian was just worried.

After a pause, he asked again: "You knew Lanling King in Northern Qi?"
