Dingbei Hou's doctor brother

Lu Ziqing felt that the shame he felt at this moment was more terrifying than the search by the Jinyiwei.

He glanced at the person rummaging around the bed, lowered his eyes and looked back at Xiao Yan, quietly scolding him.

"What are you doing? I can walk on my own."

Xiao Yan liked the way Lu Ziqing spoke quietly, no matter whether his tone was gentle or impatient. In his opinion, it was like two very close people secretly discussing and planning something, afraid of being discovered.

He was almost addicted to the intimate and furtive touch, and he also whispered like Lu Ziqing: "You are sick and can't get out of bed. What if you faint later?"

Lu Ziqing listened to the noises beside the bed and complained, "I was about to faint because of what you did in public just now."

Xiao Yan said innocently, "How can I let you go alone when I'm here? I finally got some energy back, so I have to be careful."

"Yes, I am the Bodhisattva." Lu Ziqing retorted, "I should hang it on the wall and worship it with incense, candles and fruits."

Xiao Yan chuckled softly, leaning closer and saying, "Aren't you my Bodhisattva? Of course I have to be careful."

"you……"

Lu Ziqing was about to speak with a gloomy face when he saw Meng Kui walking over with a smile and said to Xiao Yan.

"Sir, we have finished our examination. You can let Judge Lu lie down again."

"Oh?" Xiao Yan stood up and looked at him. "Commander Meng, did you see it clearly? If you remember anything after you leave this room, it will be hard to say."

Meng Kui smiled awkwardly, "Your Excellency is joking. We can see clearly that this is all a misunderstanding. Then... I won't disturb Judge Lu from resting. Goodbye."

Lang Si stood there without moving. He called Xiao Yan to the eaves with an apologetic look on his face.

"I'm sorry, Meng Kui was right there when the witness gave his testimony. The incident happened suddenly... He heard the news and wanted to come and investigate personally."

Xiao Yan nodded and said, "It's okay. It has been proven that nothing happened. Let's go back."

After Lang Si left, Xiao Yan came into the room and tried to hug someone again. This time, Lu Ziqing was finally able to speak out and refuse.

"Don't move, I'll go by myself. My Lord, please go to the government office."

Xiao Yan agreed and helped him walk slowly to the bedside, saying, "I won't go today. Zhou Nan and Su Chengfeng will do the errand for me."

"Then..." Lu Ziqing wanted to ask him to go back to the Marquis' Mansion to see his wife, but he didn't feel like saying it anymore. "Where did the Marquis hide those things?"

He walked slowly and vacantly. Xiao Yan put his arm around his waist and lifted him up a little. "In the secret room, they can't find it."

Lu Ziqing asked, "How did you know Park Youzhen was going to report this? She didn't even see it."

Xiao Yan gently laid him down on the bed. "She came to deliver the medicine just to find out the situation. She must have seen the talisman paper and the magic weapon that were blown off by the wind."

Time passed quickly and it was May. Thanks to Xiao Yan's meticulous care every day, Lu Ziqing was finally able to go out.

When the people from the Imperial Hospital saw him, they all smiled and showed concern. Chi Musheng was busy writing in the office when Lu Ziqing walked in and called him.

"Musheng."

Chi Musheng looked up and smiled happily. He put down his brush and stood up and walked over. "Thank God, you are finally well. It's just that your complexion hasn't fully recovered yet. There's no need to rush to the hospital."

Lu Ziqing said with a smile, "I've been lying down for half a month and I'm about to get tired. I need to get out and move around. Where's Judge Xu?"

Chi Musheng said "hmm", "It's the Queen's Thousand Autumn Day, and the Master is on duty."

The Queen's centenary celebration was held with great ceremony. Emperor Shengzhi and the Queen Mother were both present. In addition to the concubines from various palaces presenting gifts, Chen Yun also came to offer congratulations.

The concubines in the hall chatted and laughed, "This King Wu has always been the first to send gifts, always with unique ideas. I wonder what gift he will send to the Queen this time?"

Chen Yun smiled, kowtowed to the person sitting in the upper seat and gave his blessing. Emperor Shengzhi asked him happily.

"They are right. What gift are you giving your mother this time?"

Chen Yun smiled and said, "This time, I've brought something different."

Emperor Sheng Zhi couldn't wait to have him bring it up. The next moment, Chen Yun brought up a handsome, tall foreigner. However, he didn't look like a pure foreigner with blond hair and a hooked nose. He was somewhere between a Central Plains person and a foreigner, with black hair and gray-blue eyes.

He performed the Central Plains imperial salute to the person seated in the upper seat, speaking in broken Chinese, "I am Barlow Warren, an Englishman, honored to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Daning."

"British?" Emperor Shengzhi looked at him and said, "There are quite a few in my dynasty, but you are the least British-looking British person I have ever seen."

Barlow-Warren said: "I am of British and Korean descent, so my facial features are not very obvious."

The eunuch carried a small table covered with a red cloth and placed it in the center. When the red cloth was opened, a large wooden box was revealed.

Emperor Shengzhi saw that it was ordinary and asked, "What is this?"

Barlow Warren introduced, "This is a music box made of golden nanmu wood. Just open the lid and wind up the spring to listen to beautiful music."

The Queen was surprised, "Can we listen to music without someone playing it?"

"Your Majesty, yes," Barlow Warren said, "This box is in the room, so I can relieve my boredom without going out."

He opened the lid, and on the inside of the lid was a picture of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea. He turned the spring in the slot on the side of the box, and immediately a crisp and lively Central Plains-style melody came out, and several immortal figurines under the glass also began to move.

Everyone was surprised and gathered around to watch. The concubine pointed at the moving child and exclaimed, "It really moves?"

Seeing everyone's joy, Chen Yun said to the Queen, "I had them make this two months in advance. I hope you like it."

The Queen smiled brightly, "Yun'er, you've taken so much trouble. I'm very pleased with you. You're so thoughtful."

After the banquet, Chen Yun took Barlow Warren out of the palace. On the imperial road, Barlow Warren looked at the palace complex stretching around him and sighed.

"I've been doing business in the Celestial Empire for so long, but this is the first time I've seen such a magnificent palace. It's truly magnificent! This is an ancient and mysterious place that makes me stand...stand in awe."

Chen Yun chuckled, "That's called awe."

Barlow Warren smiled sheepishly, "Yes, that's what I wanted to say. My Chinese isn't good enough yet."

"It's great that you can say that." Chen Yun said, "That music box is very well made. My mother likes it very much. I will definitely reward her later."

"Your Highness is very polite," Barlow Warren said. "It is my honor to help you please the Queen."

As he was speaking, Chen Yun saw someone walking towards him, so he took a few steps over to greet him.

"Court Judge Lu is finally back to health. This is truly cause for celebration."

Lu Ziqing bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am now fine."

When Barlow Warren saw Chen Yun, he first asked, "Who is this?"

"This is the best physician in our Imperial Medical Bureau, Lu Ziqing, the Court Judge." Chen Yun said with a smile.

When Barlow Warren saw Chen Yun's smiling face, he immediately smiled too. He went over and hugged Lu Ziqing in his arms. Lu Ziqing was caught off guard and stunned, listening to what others said.

"Hello, Judge Lu, I'm Barlow Warren, nice to meet you."

Seeing Lu Ziqing's frightened expression, Chen Yun smiled, "Dean Lu's judgment is strange. This is the hugging etiquette of their country, expressing their intimacy and respect for you."

Barlow Warren let him go, and Lu Ziqing smiled awkwardly, "Your country's etiquette of meeting is really special."
