Chapter 151 The Trouble in Dingguo Palace

Lu Zhilan's eldest brother Lu Qifeng was also very angry when he knew that someone was harming his little sister this time, and said: "Father, mother, it is not appropriate to make it public that someone is trying to harm my little sister, so as not to alert the enemy and make the person who harmed my little sister shrink away. Get out of here, little sister."

I have ordered the driver of the carriage to be controlled. I will investigate carefully and make sure to find out who is behind the scenes."

Lu Zhilan's sister-in-law Wang Xiuyun said: "We Zhilan has a good reputation in the capital, and my little sister has also reached the age of marriage. Many children from aristocratic families and young talents want to come to propose marriage. This will inevitably arouse the jealousy of some people, especially with my little sister.

Those noble ladies who are not dealt with are all suspected, so I couldn’t help but look in this direction."

Lu Zhilan's second sister-in-law Liu Yuying said: "What the elder sister-in-law said makes sense. My younger sister is a noble girl that every family is vying to marry. This will definitely arouse the jealousy of some other noble girls, especially those families that don't deal with our family.

It is very possible that he is plotting against his younger sister.

If something happens to the little sister, it will definitely create opportunities for them. This is also a realistic thing. Also, I always feel that there is something wrong with Cui Bifu of the Jian'an Hou family who has frequent contacts with the little sister. On the surface, she is with

Our little girls are friends with each other, but in fact they may have some intentions behind their backs.

I heard someone said that the Marquis of Jian'an's family is looking for a husband for her. She is about the same age as her younger sister, but her status is not as good as hers, and her reputation is not as good as hers. It is inevitable that she will be jealous of her. I also heard that she is not a good person.

, her concubines and concubines were treated to death at home. No one dared to make a mistake in front of her. It can be seen that her usual weakness in front of her little sister is all pretending, just to win her sympathy.

.”

Ms. Qiao said: "Lan'er is too naive, so she should avoid interacting with Cui Bifu in the future."

Lu Qifeng said: "We must thank Mr. Chu who saved my little sister this time. To be able to save people in such a dangerous situation, this Mr. Chu should be a chivalrous and courageous person who is willing to help others. He is also a capable person.

We should make friends with people like this."

Lu Zhilan said: "It's just that Eunuch Han said that Mr. Chu is a distinguished guest of His Highness Prince Jing and lives in Prince Jing's Mansion. If we want to thank him, we can only go to Prince Jing's Mansion to find him."

After hearing this, everyone turned to look at Duke Dingguo.

Lu Qifeng said: "Father, if we go to Prince Jing's Mansion to express our gratitude, I'm afraid it will cause misunderstandings if outsiders don't understand. This is a sensitive period. This time, His Highness Prince Jing found out about Jiangzhou Mansion, and it can be said to be very involved. I

I heard that Liu Zhengde, the governor of Jiangzhou Prefecture, had contacts with King Kang in private. I am afraid that this incident in Jiangzhou Prefecture will implicate King Kang.

This involves the struggle between the princes. Will our going to Prince Jing's Mansion at this time make others think that we have taken refuge in His Highness Prince Jing? I also heard that the Emperor and Concubine Shu are looking for a candidate for the Princess for His Highness Prince Jing.

, our little sister is at the right age to talk about marriage, will this cause bad suspicions from others?"

Lu Zhilan heard this and said: "What's the bad guess? I don't want to be Princess Jing. Mr. Chu saved me. Is it possible that I have to think twice just to express my gratitude?"

Ding Guogong Lu Wenpu frowned and thought for a while and said: "We have not had any contact with His Highness Prince Jing before, and our family has always stood in a neutral position. But as long as we enter Prince Jing's Mansion, no matter what the reason is, others will

I think we intend to move closer to His Highness Prince Jing.

But we can’t stop thanking him just because he is looking forward and backward. Besides, I probably know who this Young Master Chu is who saved Zhilan.”

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Duke Dingguo, especially Lu Zhilan, who wanted to know the situation of her savior.

Dingguo Gong said: "I also know a little bit about the situation from the emperor. This Mr. Chu is the doctor who cured His Royal Highness Prince Jing. Not only does he have excellent medical skills, but he also created many good things that benefit the country and the people.

.The waterwheel that can irrigate farmland, better-used plows, fire pits, and ground dragons were all made by him. He also cultivated high-yielding winter wheat and pioneered the practice of planting two crops a year.

Each of these are good deeds that benefit the country and the people and have great achievements. The emperor has been paying attention to him for a long time. He came to Beijing this time because the emperor wanted to summon him. This young master of Chu will definitely have an extraordinary future.

There is no limit to it. With such a person beside His Highness Prince Jing, His Highness Prince Jing is simply more powerful than a tiger."

Lu Zhilan became more and more moved as she listened to her father's story. Such a handsome, knowledgeable and skilled man was simply the man she dreamed of.

The more Lu Zhilan listened, the more excited she became. If Mr. Chu is really favored by the emperor in the future, can she fight for it? Will her family not object because of his identity?

Thinking of this, Lu Zhilan said: "Father, no matter what, Mr. Chu saved me, and it is right for us to go and thank him. We are just going to thank Mr. Chu, and it has nothing to do with His Highness Prince Jing. We can't care what others think. As long as the emperor knows

It doesn’t matter what’s going on.”

Duke Dingguo said: "I'm not afraid of what others will say. We are doing the right thing, and what others think is their business, and we can't control it. But I do have to disclose this matter to the emperor, so that the emperor doesn't think too much about it.

I don’t want to destroy my neutral image in the Emperor’s mind.”

The second eldest son, Lu Qishan, said: "Father, the Emperor likes His Highness Prince Jing so much. Even if we have any dealings with Prince Jing's Mansion, I don't think the Emperor would be unhappy. Last time His Highness Prince Jing was plotted against, the Emperor was furious. I guess

The emperor probably also knows whose handiwork it is.

You see, if any prince is really involved in the Jiangzhou Mansion incident this time, the Emperor will never be lenient. I am afraid that the court will experience a bloody storm this time. How many people may be unlucky?

Let’s be careful.”

Jing Yi didn't know that Duke Dingguo's mansion was troubled by her. At this time, Jing Yi was walking in the largest open-air market in the capital.

There are all kinds of things sold here, including local people selling vegetables grown at home, delicacies picked from the mountains, and hunters selling wild animals. All kinds of livestock, poultry, and livestock are sold.

There are those selling various daily necessities, and there are also those selling people.

In this era, human trafficking was very common, some were legal and some were illegal. It was common for wealthy people to buy a few slaves in their families. In places where humans were traded, people were selected like animals.

Many people at the bottom of society cannot decide their own destiny, especially if they become slaves, their destiny is in the hands of their masters.

Jing Yi couldn't bear to see a group of people being picked around, so she went to look at something else without looking further.

There are indeed businessmen from other places and even foreign countries in this market. Those Hu businessmen also set up stalls to sell the things they brought.
