Wang Ruiyan felt a little embarrassed when she talked about this, but she quickly let it go. "A few days ago, I was going to the store to reconcile the accounts, and I happened to see the Liang family's carriage on the way. Because I had some disagreements with them about my previous marriage, I stood by the roadside and waited for them to pass by first."
"I never expected that Liang Yu would come down to see me. He mainly apologized. I said I had already passed by and casually asked them where they were going."
"Liang Yu said his sister was ill in the palace, and he sent his mother to the palace to see his sister."
Wang Ruiyan shrugged and said, "Nothing else."
"It's been so long, why is he still looking for you?" Li Mofu said disdainfully.
"Who knows? I'm not a man, so how would I know?" Wang Ruiyan spread her hands.
Lu Fengning looked at Wang Ruiyan and then at Lu Mingyun, without saying a word.
Li Mofu rolled his eyes and changed the subject, "How's his sister?"
Wang Ruiyan shook her head. "I don't know. Things in the palace rarely get out quickly. If something really happens, we won't be able to know in time."
The four of them were silent for a while, and Lu Fengning was the first to speak, "We should be more careful now. Discussing this matter is already very dangerous."
"...For some reason, I always feel a little uneasy when I think about this matter." Wang Ruiyan said, holding her forehead.
Lu Fengning poured her a cup of tea and comforted her, "It's okay."
If the original book can only have one protagonist, it would naturally be Wang Ruiyan, so Li Mofu trusts Wang Ruiyan's intuition very much. Since she feels that something is not good, then it must be not good.
"It's better to go out less recently." Li Mofu murmured.
Lu Mingyun looked at him and said, "Not bad, you are very self-aware."
Li Mofu glared at him speechlessly.
At the flower viewing banquet that day, everyone talked about this matter for a while and then started talking about other things. Because the topics were not common, it was mostly just the two Lu brothers talking by themselves. Li Mofu and Wang Ruiyan talked alone, and they went home in the evening and did not stay in the palace for dinner.
In fact, after learning that a concubine in the palace was sick, Li Mofu suspected that the strange old man was using the concubines in the harem to make medicine. But then he thought, the women in the emperor's harem are either beautiful or have powerful backgrounds. There is no need to choose people from the harem to make medicine. After all, there are so many servants and slaves in the palace.
However, Li Mofu couldn't come to any conclusion no matter what he thought. After he returned home that day, he stayed at home obediently for a while.
It wasn't until Zhao Xu and Zuo Zheng came to the courtyard to play with them while Lu Mingyun was resting that Li Mofu followed them out. Although Zhao Xu was now a prince, he felt that the emperor and his brothers didn't take him seriously, as if accepting him back was just a matter of convenience.
"Let's go. We haven't seen each other for a long time. We must go to Wangyue Tower for a drink!" Zhao Xu said happily.
Zuo Zheng had been forced to study sage books these days and had lost some weight. He put his arm around Lu Mingyun's shoulders and said in pain, "It's been a long time since we last met, Jingxin! If Zhao Xu hadn't pulled me out of the house today, I'd probably still be learning those crazy things!"
Lu Mingyun said, "Do you remember what I told you before?"
Li Mofu looked at Lu Mingyun. He didn't expect that Lu Mingyun actually told them everything about the strange old man and the palace.
"Remember, remember, go drink first, and then talk to you after you're full and satisfied." Zhao Xu said lazily.
Zuo Zheng smiled bitterly, "It's useless for me to know. I can hardly go out lately."
Li Mofu hadn't gone out hunting for some time, so when the food was served one by one, he was so busy eating that he had no time to talk.
A quarter of an hour later, when everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and were beginning to relax, Zhao Xu said to Lu Mingyun, "Didn't you guess that strange old man was in the palace? I can tell you now, he is indeed in the palace."
"Did you see it?" Lu Mingyun asked in a low voice.
"No, but my sister...oh, now I should call her Defei (because they are not biological children to avoid suspicion), she has seen him. She told her when mother went to visit her, and she also said that the strange old man came to see her. Mother asked why the strange old man came to see her. Defei said that it was because she could not conceive, and he was a miracle doctor specially invited for her by His Majesty." Zhao Xu said seriously.
