Quick Wear: I am eager to help others and I love making friends!

For other scholars, the first thing to do when arriving in Beijing should be to expand their network of contacts, otherwise a reserve official with no background would easily become cannon fodder.

But Lu Chu was different. He directly reported Xie Mingjun to the emperor. The trick of a unicorn son sent from heaven never gets out of date. He believed that the emperor would not miss such a good story of a monarch and his subjects getting along well and being recorded in history.

As long as Xie Mingjun performs steadily, his career will be secure.

So the next day Lu Chu took Xie Laoer, Xie Yuan and a cat out to play.

The morning light shines through the mottled leaves onto the street. Shops on both sides of the street open for business one after another, and the shouts of vendors rise one after another.

Along the way, Xie Shi looked around curiously, and it was indeed as prosperous as the legend said. Especially now that it was almost the end of the year, it was even more lively.

There are many things that I have never heard of, let alone seen. It's a pity that my parents and wife don't have the good fortune to see them.

The little follower Xie Yuan's eyes were almost dazzled, and he tightly grasped the change given by his master in his purse.

If he hadn't remembered his responsibilities as a servant, he would have run away like a kite with a broken string.

"Go shopping by yourselves and buy whatever you want." Lu Chu didn't plan to restrain them. It was fine for them to play by themselves. Besides, the Tiandao Cat had left marks on them, so nothing would happen.

Xie Shi rubbed his clothes somewhat awkwardly. Anyone on this street looked more impressive than the county magistrate.

"Xiaobao, I... let it go." He said hesitantly, worried that he would embarrass his third brother.

"Second brother, don't you want to buy some gifts for Second Sister-in-law and the others? You promised Xiao Shitou."

After hearing this, Xie Shi hesitated for a long time and finally nodded. He did agree to Xiao Shitou's request, and he also wanted to broaden his horizons.

Seeing that his third brother was going to be an official in the future, although he, as an elder brother, could not give him the gift, he could not hinder him too much either.

"You should go too. Don't go too far."

"Yes, sir." Xie Yuan ran away very obediently, feeling very happy in his heart because he had his own young master.

Xie Mingjun in the puppet felt a little unhappy. Everyone was playing happily, but he was still writing furiously.

Maybe this is the helplessness of adults.

Lu Chuze strolled leisurely with the cat in his arms, looking around and buying some food that he liked from time to time.

Before they knew it, it was getting dark and Lu Chu returned to his residence in Kyoto. Xie Shi and Xie Yuan had already returned, with excitement still in their eyes.

Her son was a healthy boy, but he turned into a sickly person who could not walk after just going out for a while. Concubine Ning felt heartbroken at the sight of him.

After entering the palace for more than 20 years, she only had this one son. She loved him like the apple of her eye since he was young. Seeing the look on her beloved son's face was like tearing out her heart.

"Mo'er, what's wrong with you?"

Xie Mohan leaned weakly on the couch and said weakly, "Mother, this is a long story."

Seeing this, Concubine Ning managed to calm herself down and said, "All of you leave. I have something important to discuss with Prince Jin. Cui Zhi, go get the imperial physician."

"Yes, I'll take my leave." After everyone left, only the mother and son were left in the hall.

"Tell me, what happened?" Concubine Ning took a heart-protecting pill in advance, and a murderous intent flashed across her beautiful face.

"Your son..." Xiao Mohan briefly told her his experiences of the past few months almost without reservation. Now only his mother could help him.

"Mo'er, you are so stupid! You have ended up in such a situation for a woman!" If Zhou Zhiwei was right in front of her, Concubine Ning would have wanted to eat her flesh and blood alive.

Just at this time, the imperial physician Shen Qiu arrived, "Your Highness greets the Imperial Concubine and His Royal Highness Prince Jin."

"No need to be so polite, come in." A glimmer of hope rose in Concubine Ning's eyes. Mo'er's health might not be as bad as he said.

"Yes." Shen Qiu came in carrying a medicine box, and suddenly a bad feeling arose in his heart.

After he made the diagnosis, he looked troubled. If he had known this earlier, he would have taken a day off today. He actually knew such a big secret.

"My Lady, the tendons and veins in Prince Jin's left leg are all severed. I'm afraid he will have sequelae in the future. His body is seriously weak, and perhaps...his future offspring will be affected."

"Impossible! You must cure my son Mo'er!" Concubine Ning's blood rushed to her head and her eyes went dark. There was no way a prince without an heir could inherit the throne.

"I will do my best. Your Highness's health can only be slowly nursed back to health. Whether it can recover as before depends on God's will."

After that, he wrote out some prescriptions, gave some instructions, and then said goodbye and left.

"Mother, I am an unfilial son and I made you worry." Xiao Mohan had a bitter face, but fortunately he still had a glimmer of hope, that was the child in Zhou Zhiwei's belly.

"Mo'er, this is not your fault." Concubine Ning gently stroked his face, "As long as you are alive and well, it is more important than anything else. Mother will never let that bitch go."

"Mother!" Xiao Mohan quickly grabbed his mother's hand, "Awei is pregnant. This may be the only child I will have in my life."

"Don't worry, mother won't touch her before she gives birth to the child." For the sake of the emperor's grandson, Concubine Ning had to compromise.

Zhou Zhiwei knew this and that’s why he dared to follow Xiao Mohan to Kyoto.

"Mother, I need your help with something. There is a candidate named Xie Mingjun in this imperial examination. I want to make him lose his reputation and leave him without a burial place."

Killing candidates without authorization and cheating in the imperial examination are serious crimes, and she seemed to have heard this name somewhere before?

"Okay, mother promises to help you." Concubine Ning couldn't persuade her son, so she could only nod in agreement. Her father was the prime minister of the dynasty, so it would be easy for him to target a small scholar.

"You can marry that woman, but Princess Jin cannot be a lowly peasant girl. Mother will find a way to raise her status."

Xiao Mohan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. "Thank you, mother. I'll take my leave now."

"Someone come." Soon a guard came in, helped Xiao Mohan up, put him in a wheelchair and pushed him away.

When Concubine Ning was the only one left in the room, she pondered for a moment with a gloomy face, then walked to the desk, pulled out a piece of white paper, picked up a pen and wrote a line on it, then folded it and put it in an envelope, and called her confidant, Madam Li.

"Go and check Zhou Zhiwei's background, and send someone to deliver this letter to my father. And deal with the group of people who took Prince Jin away." He already had murderous intent in his voice when he said the last sentence.

Her son has become like this, how come those guards are still alive and well?

"Yes, your Majesty." After receiving the order, Nanny Li left quickly to do her work. Concubine Ning pinched her brows wearily, thinking that her children are all debts.
