Chu Junlan and Xiao Xu agreed on the details again, and then hurried to deliver the post to the Given Guogong Mansion the next day.

The head of the Dingguo Mansion sent a reply to Chu Junlan with a smile: "Our grandfather said that he only came to Huaijing to settle down, and he was busy with the New Year, so he wanted to visit Prince Gong's Mansion for a long time, but he has not been idle, and it is best for the princess to come and walk." ”

Chu Junlan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Thank you for the charge, I will go to the door this afternoon." He immediately instructed Zi Yan to give the head of the Guogong Mansion a big seal.

Chu Junlan and Xiao Xu went out together, Xiao Xu was still worried and put the white fox fur collar cloak on his shoulders for Chu Junlan: "If there is anything, you don't have to solve it yourself, first investigate the matter clearly, and we will discuss it later." The big hand stroked her flat lower abdomen again: "Everything still has to be your own priority." ”

"Don't worry." Chu Junlan smiled, took Xiao Xu's hand and shook it, "I am a doctor myself, and I am measured." ”

Xiao Xu sighed and nodded: "I know it too, but I'm still not at ease." ”

Chu Junlan hugged Xiao Xu: "You can rest assured." ”

Xiao Xu was surprised by her bold move, after all, this was in front of the house, and there were many people around who were watching, but it was sweet, and he nodded with a slightly red face: "Okay." ”

The Dingguo Mansion knew that Chu Junlan would come today, and had already made preparations, and a maidservant girl was specially at the door to greet him, and Chu Junlan went to the front hall.

Duchess Dingguo and Lu Wansong were there, and when they saw Chu Junlan, they both had cordial smiles on their faces. Chu Junlan once treated the Duchess of Dingguo, Lu Wansong and Lu Ruohan have always been close to Chu Junlan, and now the little obedient is still stuck in the stable of the Dingguo Mansion and the whirlwind as a companion, and they only feel cordial when they meet in two compartments, and they do not feel unfamiliar.

"It's been a long time, you see you're still so thin, I heard Ruohan say that you have good news?" Duchess Dingguo took Chu Junlan's hand, and the two sat next to each other on the Arhat bed with a red brocade mattress placed next to the window.

Chu Junlan smiled and nodded: "That's true." ”

"Then you have to be even more recuperate, how can you be so thin?" Duchess Dingguo smiled, "When I go back, I will have someone prepare some supplements and send them to your house." ”

Chu Junlan naturally would not politely refuse, in a noble family like them, no one lacked supplements at home, what was missing was just an opportunity to express their hearts to each other, since the Duke of Dingguo was willing to make friends with Prince Gong's Mansion at this time, she would be too ignorant to refuse.

"Then I'm not going to be polite to you."

"You're welcome? You and Ruohan used to be good friends, and now we are really close friends. Duchess Dingguo smiled.

On the side, Lu Wansong also said: "A relative, if you are polite, if you are free, you can configure a little ointment for me, it is the kind of anti-inflammatory treatment for abrasions." ”

Chu Junlan's eyebrows and eyes curled with a smile, "This is easy, I have the configuration on weekdays, and I will ask someone to send it to you in Ming'er." ”

Lu Wan smiled cheerfully, and first asked Chu Junlan about her intentions: "I wonder if you have anything else?" My father said that we are all relatives, but we will help each other in everything. ”

Chu Junlan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Dingguo Gong is a cool person, so I won't be polite." I do have something I want to ask for help with. ”

Chu Junlan thought for a while and said softly: "I originally had a cousin who was two years younger than me in my family, and now he is on an errand in the 3,000 camp, I don't know if you remember." ”

Lu Wansong bowed: "I know, now it's a thousand presidents, right?" ”

"Yes. Two days ago, one of his colleagues came to tell me that his brother had made a mistake and had been sent back to the barracks without a single good skin after being severely punished, but he was taken away again that day and has disappeared ever since. ”

"How can such a thing happen?" Lu Wansong was a little surprised, and couldn't help frowning in thought.

Dingguo Gong has been rooted in the army for many years, and Lu Wansong can be said to have followed Dingguo Gong in the army for most of his life since he was a child, and he knows some of the stereotypes and unspoken rules in the army.

"I can't hide it, in my humble opinion, Brother Ling Xu was involved in something, or offended someone."

Duchess Dingguo frowned and nodded.

Chu Junlan also said: "I think so too, but I have tried my best to investigate in the past two days, but the matter is very strange, the news that my people got after investigating turned out to be that my brother had never come to Huaijing at all, but it was like the person who reported to me before told a lie." ”

"Oh?" Duchess Dingguo was puzzled.

Chu Junlan continued: "There is even more bizarre, when I turned around and wanted to ask the person who reported the interrogation, the person was already dead, and the body was thrown in a mass grave outside the city. ”

The room was silent, and Lu Wansong and the Duchess of Dingguo fell silent.

Chu Junlan lowered his eyes and sighed lightly: "I know that this matter is very strange and difficult, but now that the younger brother is clearly in trouble, I want to investigate carefully, but everyone is perfunctory, and the only person I know who can talk to the army is Dingguo Gong, so I want to ask Dingguo Gong for help, so that I can meet with the Shangguan of the 3,000 battalion." ”

Chu Junlan can indeed visit the Shangguan of the 3,000 battalion on his own, and You Meng, the left-striking general who is closest to Chu Huayun, also happens to have some relationship with Prince Gong, but Chu Junlan feels that Prince Gong is not You Meng's direct peak after all, and what he says may not be useful.

Duchess Dingguo frowned and looked at Lu Wansong inquiringly.

Lu Wansong nodded and said: "In this way, things are really very strange, eighty percent of people have an accident, if you don't ask carefully, how can you be willing?" My father is in the study in the outer courtyard, and I'll go and talk to him for you. ”

Lu Wansong stood up, and Chu Junlan hurriedly got up and saluted and thanked him: "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome, it's all your own business." Lu Wansong and the Duchess of Dingguo bowed and retreated.

Chu Junlan stayed with the Duchess of Dingguo, only chatting about some trivial matters in life.

Chu Junlan remembered Chu Lingxi's intentions for Lu Wansong, but after thinking about it for a while, he still didn't speak rashly.

If marriage is the best way to bind the relationship between the two families, the marriage between Lu Ruohan and Chu Zhan has already linked the Maoguo Mansion and the Dingguo Mansion together, and the Dingguo Mansion will definitely keep Lu Wansong to marry a more useful family.

What's more, Chu Shan is just a newly named earl, and he is still a Liujue, the Dingguo Mansion is so prominent, one is a hereditary prince of the country, and the other is the daughter of the Liujue, in the end, there are some disproportionateness, even if they are forcibly put together, I am afraid that Chu Lingxi's temperament is so good, and it may not be comfortable to live in the life of the prince, not to mention that she does not feel that Chu Lingxi loves Lu Wansong to any extent.

After waiting for about a cup of tea, Lu Wansong came back briskly from outside, still holding a brown paper envelope in his hand.

"This is a letter from my father, you just have to take this and go to the people of the 3,000 battalion." Lu Wansong handed the envelope to Chu Junlan.

Chu Junlan took the letter with a smile and said movingly: "Thank you so much this time." ”

"It's just a gesture, not something like that," Lu Wansong said, "You just have to ask, if you have any questions, you can come to me, I can take the time to accompany you." ”

Chu Junlan smiled and shook his head, "I've troubled you a lot, this matter is complicated, I don't know what trouble is hidden behind it, I'm already very grateful to be able to trouble Dingguo Gong to write a letter, it's not good to drag your family into the water again." ”

Chu Junlan said this, which made the Duchess of Dingguo quietly breathe a sigh of relief, Seeing that Chu Junlan's eyes became softer and softer, he said with a smile: "I have ordered someone to prepare for the banquet, so I will stay for dinner later." ”

Chu Junlan smiled and shook his head: "Your kindness, I shouldn't have shirked it, but I'm still in a hurry to find out the news of my brother, so I can only bother him when he has free time." ”

Duchess Dingguo nodded in understanding and sighed: "It's really embarrassing for you, you have to worry about such things while pregnant." ”

"Fortunately, Dingguo Gong is willing to help." Chu Junlan gratefully saluted the Duchess and Lu Wansong again, "Please also convey your gratitude on your behalf." ”

The Duchess of Dingguo hurriedly avoided it sideways, refusing to accept Chu Junlan's salute, while Lu Wansong hurriedly bowed down and returned it.

Lu Wansong sent Chu Junlan to the door, looked at her and said with concern: "Don't be too anxious, go and find out first, if there is anything you need my help with, just come to me, don't be polite to me." ”

Chu Junlan looked up at Lu Wansong and nodded with a smile: "I know, I won't be polite to you." ”

Lu Wansong has grown taller again, compared with the first acquaintance, he has retreated from the spirit of a teenager, has the maturity of a young man, is polite when smiling, and has restrained all the edges.

Chu Junlan is a little happy, Lu Wansong has grown up, and he will be able to be Lu Ruohan's backing in the future, which is an excellent thing, although even if they get along today, there are also some interests involved, but people need to help each other and rely on each other.

After Chu Junlan left the Dingguo Mansion, he directly urged the carriage to go to the military camp where the 3,000 battalions were temporarily stationed outside the city.

In normal times, it would not be difficult for her to move out of the identity of Prince Gong's princess and ask to see the Shangguan of the 3,000 battalion, but today she brought a letter from the Duke of Dingguo, and the other party's attitude was even more different.

The soldiers sent Chu Junlan to the account of General Zuo Zhen, and said loudly: "Report to the general, the person has been brought!" ”

The voice fell, the curtain was lifted, and a familiar face greeted him, holding the handwritten letter of the Duke of Dingguo in his hand, and saluted with a smile: "The princess is here, there is a long way to welcome, please come in and speak." ”

Chu Junlan smiled and said, "I'm tired." ”

The two were polite, and Chu Junlan followed him into the camp.

The white tent was sometimes blown by the cold wind of the wilderness, the tent was lit with a brazier, and an iron kettle was set up on it, and the boiling water in it made a gurgling sound, and the table was placed on the left, and the wooden bed was on the right.

"Don't dislike the princess, eat hot water to warm up first, what are your orders for coming here today?"
