"What's going on?"

Bai Youyou was suspicious. If he didn't say it before, what would he say now?

"My people found out that the Marquis of Yong'an sent someone to the border last August, but that person was later killed by the Marquis of Yong'an for some unknown reason."

The Third Prince spoke cryptically, but a huge wave of emotion was stirred up in Bai Youyou's heart.

She clenched her hands and tried to keep her voice from trembling. "Third Prince, is this true?"

The third prince nodded, "That's absolutely true."

He had only found a few clues about this matter, and originally wanted to wait until he had solid evidence before speaking out about it, but the people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion were obviously deliberately keeping their distance from him.

Only by speaking out this matter now will the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion take the initiative to improve the relationship between them.

"Boatman, turn around!"

Bai Youyou walked to the cabin and suddenly shouted, startling everyone who were talking and laughing.

Qi Yue walked up to her and said, "Youyou, what happened?"

"Cousin, I remembered that there is one important matter that I have not dealt with yet. I must go back immediately."

Bai Youyou suppressed her overwhelming hatred and felt a taste of rust in her mouth.

She had originally guessed that what happened to her sixth cousin was not an accident, and she sent people to investigate, but so far nothing has been found.

Zhao Qianqian didn't understand the secret language between her and the third prince, but looking at Bai Youyou's angry eyes, it was not difficult to guess the importance of the matter.

She held Bai Youyou's hand and comforted him, "Don't be anxious. The more anxious you are, the more chaotic it will be."

Bai Zhenzhen standing by looked puzzled.

Her attention had previously been on Qi Yue. What did the Third Prince say to Bai Youyou that caused her expression to change so suddenly?

The cheerful atmosphere disappeared and the boatman brought the boat to the shore as quickly as possible.

"Cousin, please send Qianqian back home."

After she said that, she immediately rode back to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion with Xiaoju at full speed.

As soon as I entered the door, the doorman said hurriedly: "Miss, the Seventh Young Master is back, and——"

If the person returned safely, the doorman would not have such an expression. Bai Youyou was shocked, "What happened to the Seventh Young Master?"

"You will know if you go to the Seventh Young Master's yard."

Bai Youyou has been in charge of the affairs of the mansion these days. All these people have seen her abilities and now regard her as their backbone.

Bai Youyou lifted up her skirt and ran quickly towards Lu Chen's yard.

In the room, the old lady and Sun were standing by the bed, with Lu Chen, who was unharmed, standing beside them.

Bai Youyou ran in breathlessly, and was a little stunned when she saw Lu Chen, "Seventh cousin?"

"Youyou, you're back."

Lu Chen's face was full of fatigue, but he still forced a smile at her.

Bai Youyou walked to the bedside, and when he saw the person lying on the bed, his breathing stagnated slightly, "What happened to Prince Xian?"

Lu Huaizhen lay on the bed with his eyes closed, his face pale without a trace of blood. If it weren't for Doctor Pang who was still giving him acupuncture, he would have been as good as dead.

"He blocked the sword for me, that's why."

Lu Chen's eyes were red and his heart was filled with guilt.

If Prince Xian had not blocked the fatal sword for him, the white flag would have been hung in the house again.

"The prince has too many people, and we are short of manpower. If it weren't for Prince Xian's timely help, that batch of food and grass would never have reached grandfather."

"long."

A familiar voice sounded from behind. Bai Youyou turned around and saw the thin face of her sixth cousin.

Not wanting to disturb Doctor Pang’s treatment, she lowered her voice and said in surprise, “Sixth cousin, you’re back in Beijing!”

Lu Xuan walked over and patted her dark head like he did when she was a child, his voice a little hoarse, "Thank you for your hard work these days."

"Compared to you guys fighting on the edge of a knife on the frontier, what I'm doing in the mansion is nothing."

Compared to their hard work, Bai Youyou really felt that she had done nothing.

Lu Xuan pinched her chubby cheeks, walked to the bedside, and looked at Doctor Pang with a nervous expression.

Everyone pursed their lips tightly, looking tense.

After Doctor Pang finished the last injection, Lu Xuan asked anxiously, "Grandpa Pang, how is Prince Xian?"

"Ugh."

Doctor Pang stood up and sighed, "He already had a cold in his body, and now his lungs have been injured. I'm afraid he won't live long."

"Cold disease?" Bai Youyou was a little confused, "Isn't he not sick?"

Lu Xuan gnashed his teeth and said angrily, "When he was seventeen, he was thrown into the water by the prince in the cold winter. The prince also framed him for breaking the late queen's things, and the emperor punished him by making him kneel for a day and a night. That was when he got sick."

Fortunately, he saw it at that time, otherwise, an orphan and bullied child in the deep palace would have died early and no one would care about him.

Bai Youyou recalled that Lu Huaizhen always carried a cloak and a stove with him in winter, panting every three steps and coughing every five steps. She once laughed at his realistic acting.

Over the years, Lu Huaizhen has really helped the Zhenguo Mansion unconditionally. Bai Youyou's throat tightened, "Is there really no way at all?"

"Medical books record that Xianhu Lanyun has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. If I can get this medicine, maybe there will be a glimmer of hope."

Doctor Pang walked to the table, picked up a pen and wrote a prescription and handed it to Lu Xuan, "Have someone prepare two pots of charcoal fire and a bucket of hot water. Fortunately, I got a purple Ganoderma from the prince earlier. With this medicine, he can live a few more years."

Everyone's eyes fell on Lu Huaizhen's thin face, and they all felt distressed.

The old lady still remembered that when Lu Huaizhen was twelve years old, he left the palace and set up his own residence.

The emperor didn't like him in the first place, so he just gave him a dilapidated mansion and sent him away. His monthly share of profit was not much, and he didn't have any land or shop, but at the end of the year he brought him a thousand silver coins.

At that time, his clothes were all washed white.

Later, he made friends with the prince of the Weining Earl's Mansion, and the two of them did some business together, which increased the annual subsidy.

She didn't want to receive such a favor from him, so she politely declined, but he found someone to buy food and supplies and sent them to the border.

In the past few years, she has seen and remembered all his contributions to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

The old lady's nose was sour, "Send someone to find Xianhu Lanyun, at any cost!"

"Grandson will do it right away!"

Lu Chen made up his mind when he heard Doctor Pang talking about Xianhu Lanyun. Now that the old lady spoke, he couldn't wait a moment and ran out.

Lu Huaizhen wanted to take a medicinal bath, but it was inconvenient for them to stay in the house, so they left.

Before one problem is solved, another one arises. Bai Youyou thinks of the incident with her sixth cousin and can only tell her about it after her aunt Sun leaves.

"But what happened?"

The old lady noticed Bai Youyou's abnormality early on and asked.

Bai Youyou supported her, "Grandmother, today the Third Prince told me that his people found out that last August, Yong'an Marquis sent someone to the border, and later that person was killed by Yong'an Marquis for some unknown reason."

The old lady was so shocked that she almost dropped the cane in her hand. She asked with trembling lips, "Are you saying that Xiaowu's death was not an accident?"
