God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine
Chapter 81 Xiao Yi's Reply
Deep in Fengxi Town, in the mansion of the county magistrate, the flickering candlelight illuminated an anxious face. When the county magistrate learned that the crown prince was caught in trouble, his heart suddenly felt as heavy as if it was being pressed down by a huge rock.
At this moment, he was standing in the middle of the room, frowning as he thought about how to deal with the situation. Suddenly, he thought of his smart and clever son, Xiao Yi.
So he immediately asked his servants to call his eldest son Xiao Yi to discuss the matter.
"Yier, have you found out about the assassination of the Crown Prince in Fengxi Town?" The county magistrate looked at Xiao Yi, with a hint of expectation in his eyes. Xiao Yi was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "I only learned about this in the evening."
The county magistrate nodded with satisfaction and continued, "I want you to go to Fengxi Town and visit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on my behalf. Please say hello to His Royal Highness on my behalf and ask him if he needs our help. I really don't dare to go there rashly now, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to His Royal Highness."
After hearing this, Xiao Yi immediately understood what his father meant.
Xiao Yi bowed to his father and said firmly: "The boy will set off for Lujia Village to visit His Highness tomorrow, please rest assured, father!" He knew that this trip was a heavy responsibility, but at the same time he also believed that he could accomplish the mission with his wisdom and courage.
Early the next morning, before the sun rose, Xiao Yi rode a horse and rushed towards Lujia Village at lightning speed.
At this moment, a clear voice came from outside the door: "Master, Miss, there is a young man outside the door who wants to see you. He claims to be the eldest son of the county magistrate, Mr. Xiao Yi, and he has come to visit Master Yuan."
Lu Tingyan frowned slightly when she heard this. Why did Brother Xiao Yi suddenly come to visit at this moment? Was it because of what happened yesterday? She wondered in her heart.
Doctor Lu and Lu Tingyan looked at each other, and both read a hint of doubt in each other's eyes. However, they did not hesitate too much, and quickly tidied their appearance and walked towards the door, ready to welcome the uninvited guest.
Entering the hall, Xiao Yi was dressed in a gorgeous brocade dress, looking elegant and graceful, sitting on the guest seat and sipping tea leisurely. When he saw Doctor Lu and his daughter, he immediately stood up, bowed and said, "Uncle Lu, Sister Yan'er, I hope you will not blame me for coming here without permission."
Doctor Lu hastily returned the greeting, saying, "My dear nephew, you are too polite. Please take a seat quickly." After saying that, he waved his hand to signal Qingyu beside him to serve tea to the guest.
When the tea was served, Xiao Yi took a sip, then put down the cup and looked directly at Lu Tingyan, with a reproachful tone in his voice: "Sister Yan'er, I heard that you caused quite a stir in Fengxi Town, and even killed someone?"
Lu Tingyan was shocked. She didn't expect Brother Xiao Yi to be so direct. She took a deep breath and replied calmly, "Brother Xiao Yi is right. We did encounter some troubles in Fengxi Town, but those people deserved it. We had to do this to protect ourselves."
At this moment, Lu Tianyu and Jun Moyuan heard the news of Xiao Yi's visit, and they both walked into the main hall together.
Xiao Yi's brows were tightly furrowed, and it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with the answer given by Lu Tingyan.
So, he turned to look at Lu Tianyu who had walked in, and asked in a questioning tone: "Brother Tianyu, do you also know about this matter?"
Faced with Xiao Yi's question, Lu Tianyu didn't know how to respond for a moment, he could only remain silent.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi turned around and set his eyes on Jun Moyuan, and continued: "Your Highness! Do you really regard me as your friend? Why didn't you tell me about such an important thing that happened?"
Jun Moyuan raised his lips slightly, revealing a smile, and then slowly said: "Xiao Yi, this incident is indeed too complicated and dangerous, so I don't want you to be involved in it."
However, Xiao Yi frowned after hearing this, and then responded: "Your Highness, how can you think of me like this? We are close friends! If a friend encounters difficulties, how can I stand by and stay out of it?"
Jun Moyuan walked up, gently patted Xiao Yi on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Of course I understand your sincerity, but the situation you are facing this time is indeed quite tricky and the risk factor is extremely high. I really can't bear to let you take this risk and get involved."
Xiao Yi sighed deeply, his tone full of helplessness and emotion: "Your Highness is still as gentle and elegant as the wind, with a heart full of kindness and compassion. He always thinks of others wholeheartedly, but never cares about himself."
At this moment, Lu Tianyu walked forward with a firm step. His eyes were sincere and honest, and he said, "Xiao Yi, please don't blame Mo Yuan. This is not a joke."
Lu Tingyan walked over slowly, her eyes gentle and firm, and comforted: "Brother Xiao Yi, please don't blame them, we just don't want too many people to be involved."
Xiao Yi nodded silently, his voice carrying a hint of relief: "Okay, since you have made up your mind, I will not say anything more. However, I hope that no matter what happens in the future, you must be honest and never hide anything from me again."
Jun Moyuan and Lu Tianyu looked at each other and said, "Okay, we promise you."
Xiao Yi looked at them and said, "Your Highness, our Grand Tutor's Mansion has always supported you. I hope that Your Highness will not act rashly and disregard your own safety next time."
"I will." Jun Moyuan nodded seriously. He knew that Xiao Yi was worried about his safety. "But you have to be careful too. I always feel that this matter is not that simple."
Xiao Yi said solemnly: "I will send more people to protect you."
At this time, Lu Tingyan said: "Thank you, Brother Xiao Yi, but there is no need to bother, we will protect ourselves."
Xiao Yi looked at Lu Tingyan, and his heart couldn't help but move. He suddenly found that Lu Tingyan seemed to have grown up and become stronger and braver.
"Okay, be sure to notify me if anything happens." Xiao Yi reminded.
"Yeah, we know." Lu Tingyan replied with a smile.
Xiao Yi turned and left, his back looking a little lonely.
Jun Moyuan looked at the direction he left, thoughtfully.
