Before returning to Jiangbei City, Lu Shikang and Prince Xiao chatted alone for a while on the island.

Lu Shikang told Prince Xiao what he saw and heard in Zheng's house. And the crown prince Xiao decided to send Hua Muchun to the capital first, and by the way, personally report to his father and the emperor, and then make plans.

After all, the stakes are high, and you can't write a letter, so as not to be intercepted halfway.

Lu Shikang also plans to investigate the situation of his second cousin Lu Shishi next, whether he joined Zheng Jin's sphere of influence on his own initiative, or whether his uncle's family has already joined the Zheng family's rebellion.

.

As the sun set in the west, Qingzhi returned to the Confucian pharmacy, and before he could sit down for a moment, he was called by a child to go to a special patient.

said that the patient was special because he was a celebrity in Jiangbei City.

His name is He Chi.

He Chi is a well-known poet from Qianzhou. Since he lived in Jiangbei City for three years, he has written a lot of beautiful poems about Jiangbei City.

There are those in Jiangbei City who respect him, and there are also those who disdain him.

Those who respected him admired his talent, and those who disdained him because he was empty and destitute.

Qingzhi followed the child's back until he walked to Fangshan Lane in the north-south direction, and arrived at the mouth of the east-west alley where He Chi was located.

Turning west into the dilapidated alley, when he walked to the end of the alley, a dilapidated courtyard to the south was the small courtyard he rented.

There are two small two-story dilapidated wooden buildings in the courtyard, which look very quiet under the shade of several large plane trees in the courtyard.

A small building is in the innermost part of the courtyard, that is, next to the courtyard wall to the south. The other building is next to the one, that is, the one near the alley, which is where He Chi lives.

Qingzhi occasionally saw He Chi on the way to see a doctor, but he was not familiar with him.

She knew that her father had gone to see him before, and that he had told him that he was weak and needed to take medicine all year round.

But his father did not say where he was weak.

She didn't even bother to ask.

When the child arrived at the door of the small building where He Chi lived, he said in a childish voice: "Doctor Kong, he is lying on his bed, go and see him!" ”

The boy ran back to his house, which was in the same courtyard as He Chi in the small building against the south wall.

Qingzhi walked towards He Chi's small building step by step.

She didn't know if he was on the first or second floor. She first searched for two rooms on the first floor, both of which were empty, so she carried the medicine box up to the second floor.

The staircase is dotted with autumn leaves that fall from outside the courtyard, as if no one has cleaned them.

On the second floor, she found him.

He was lying on the bed, looking at a book in his hand, and looking at its color, it seemed to be okay.

He had a slender face, fine eyebrows, white skin like a woman, and long, large eyes.

He has less masculinity than other men, but, as some Jiangbei people said, if he is too masculine, then it will not match the poet's melancholy temperament.

It should be said that his appearance is in line with the public's fantasy of the poet.

Indifferent melancholy often hung on his face, but in the next second, he would show a smile as pure as a child.

"Dr. Kong, you're here."

He put down the book, glanced at the green branch carrying the medicine box, and said.

"He Gongzi, where are you unwell?" She got straight to the point and placed the medicine box on the table next to his bed.

On that table were scattered books, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and medicine.

"I'm wondering if it's time to change my medication." He said.
