Chapter 163: Entrusted
As everyone knows, the previous relief of the plague in Jiangnan was caused by Gu Huanli personally asking Yaowanggu to help, and the medicinal materials used in the process were all provided by Yaowanggu.
Gu Huanli never returned to Shengjing at all, so how could it be related to the theft of quinine?
But now Emperor Liang Qin indiscriminately implicated Gu Huanli in this matter, which is really annoying.
"If you want to come to Xichang, this trip will inevitably be on guard against the Criminal Department and other trial departments, you have just entered the Criminal Department, and your edge has not been revealed, which is the best way to avoid people's eyes." Gu Huanli said.
But Lu Xuan knew that his move was just secretly helping him accumulate political achievements.
Lu Xuan immediately received the order: "Your Majesty will definitely do her best to return His Highness's innocence." ”
Gu Huanli naturally believed in Lu Xuan's determination and strength, but this time he could no longer help from the side, so he could only rely on Lu Xuan's own strength.
Gu Huanli informed Lu Xuan of this matter in advance to prepare her mind, but she had already thought so.
Everything before was carried out smoothly with the assistance of Gu Huanli, and Lu Xuan almost forgot how he relied on his own strength in his previous life.
This time can not only repay Gu Huanli's help during this time, but also regain the courage to act, Lu Xuan naturally can't ask for it.
According to Gu Huanli, Xichang had already received the news of Quinine's loss yesterday, so if he wanted to find out the truth before them, he probably wouldn't dare to delay for a moment.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan immediately went back to the house to prepare.
At that time, after many days of recuperation and practice, Rong Li's legs had improved greatly, and when Lu Xuan returned home, he bumped into him practicing walking slowly in the courtyard, and he no longer needed help from others.
Seeing this scene, Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion in his heart, and then stopped in place to "watch".
After a while, Xu has been practicing for a long time, and his feet are a little paralyzed, Lu Xuan saw that Rong Li's body was about to lean back, and she hurriedly rushed up to support him.
The moment he was caught by Lu Xuan, Rong Li couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, but fortunately, there was no danger.
He turned his head to the occasion, and happened to have bright eyes full of worry at Shang Lu Xuan.
"Ah Xuan, you're back." A smile suddenly appeared on Rong Li's face, Lu Xuan has been busy with government affairs these days, leaving early and returning late, he has not seen her in the house for a long time.
Lu Xuan was silent, but looked reproachful: "Cousin, but is he anxious again?" Xizhi's predecessors have instructed him not to be in a hurry, why is his cousin disobedient? ”
Lu Xuan's lying temperament was very clear, and she didn't even need to ask to know that he must have secretly forced herself to practice intensively, otherwise she wouldn't have fallen down tired.
Seeing Lu Xuan's displeasure, Rong Li hurriedly reined in: "What my cousin taught me is that I am too greedy, and I will definitely follow the doctor's instructions in the future." ”
The attitude of lying and admitting mistakes was sincere, so Lu Xuan no longer bothered with him, and immediately helped him to the wheelchair and sat down.
Xu didn't want Lu Xuan to worry about Fang Cai anymore, so Rong Li immediately changed the topic: "But why did Ah Xuan come back today, but the Criminal Department is idle?" ”
This is really ridiculous, in the six parts, where is the idle time?
Lu Xuan shook his head, but said that he had something to prepare for going home.
Seeing her frowning when she mentioned this matter, Rong Li knew that Lu Xuan must have encountered something tricky.
At present, Rong Li's legs have recovered a lot, although she can't walk like an ordinary person, but it is not a problem to reluctantly follow Lu Xuan to help her mention a point or two.
Rong Li immediately asked: "Is it difficult for Ah Xuan to take over this time?" ”
Lu Xuan did not shy away from it, and then nodded his head, and hesitated for a while before telling the truth.
Knowing that Lu Xuan's face was so sad that it was for Gu Huanli, the discomfort in Rong Li's heart instantly surged up again.
Until Lu Xuan spoke: "Since beating me as an official, His Royal Highness has helped me everywhere, this time he is in trouble, and I also want to take this opportunity to repay him, otherwise I always feel indebted in my heart." ”
Hearing the word "indebted", Rong Lie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
Thinking about it, since Lu Xuan's move was just to thank Gu Huanli for her kindness and make up for the debt in her heart, it was better to help her and cut off the connection between her and the Fierce King's Mansion earlier.
Thinking of this, Rong Li immediately spoke: "If there is any difficulty, Ah Xuan can say and listen to me, maybe there will be any way." ”
Speaking of this, Lu Xuan remembered that the person sitting next to him was a ghost doctor personally certified by the medicine king Gu Xizhi, tracking down matters related to medicinal materials, maybe he could really help a lot.
Lu Xuan immediately sat down and analyzed the case with Rong Li.
On the other side, Shen Xixu, who was half angry with Gu Huanli, finally rushed back to the eldest princess's mansion angrily.
Seeing Shen Xixu's puffing appearance, the eldest princess was stunned: "Ah Xu, who is this who is upsetting you again?" ”
The eldest princess clearly remembered that Shen Xixu had rushed to the Fierce King's Mansion in a panic, why did it take a while to be like eating gunpowder?
Asked by the eldest princess, Shen Xixu suddenly crossed his slender waist: "It's not all imperial uncles, they are against me everywhere." ”
"Hugh is rude." When the eldest princess heard this, she reprimanded: "Your imperial uncle is an elder, so if you really clash with you with words, you are also disobedient to him, how can he say that he is against you?" ”
Seeing that his mother was also saluting Gu Huan, Shen Xixu suddenly became even more annoyed: "Mother, I just want to follow Lord Lu to handle the case and have a long experience, Uncle Huang, will he refuse me without even thinking about it?" ”
Hearing this, the eldest princess smiled: "What should be the matter in this palace, it turns out that you are messing around again." ”
"I'm not messing around!" Shen Xixu defended himself.
The eldest princess insisted: "Your imperial uncle's refusal is for your own good, how dangerous is the handling of the case by the Criminal Department, what is it that you are a dignified county lord to follow?" If there are three longs and two shorts, who will be responsible? ”
"Oh, Mother, Lord Lu and Uncle Huang will protect me, and there will be no danger." Shen Xixu still did not give up, but the eldest princess's attitude was very firm.
After a long time, seeing that his mother's lord finally did not enter the oil and salt, Shen Xixu had a plan flashing in his mind.
After pondering for a while, Shen Xixu immediately spoke: "Has my mother heard the rumors about the relationship between Uncle Huang and Lu Xuan?" ”
Hearing this, the eldest princess's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of dodge, and it seemed that she had already guessed what Shen Xixu was going to say.
Shen Xixu still said tentatively: "I heard that everyone is rumoring that Uncle Huang and Lu Xuan are, that kind of relationship. ”
"Nonsense!" The eldest princess was suddenly annoyed: "People outside are talking nonsense, are you, as a royal family, slandering your imperial uncle's reputation like this?" You don't know how your imperial uncle is doing? ”
Seeing the anxious appearance of the eldest princess, Shen Xixu knew that his plan was about to succeed.
She immediately struck while the iron was hot: "Erchen naturally believes in the emperor's uncle, but as the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves, isn't the mother curious about their true relationship?" ”
Hearing this, the eldest princess suddenly fell into deep thought, Gu Huanli had indeed repeatedly turned his face with the ministers of the court and the court, and even did not hesitate to anger Long Yan.
In addition, when he was in Jiangnan, he lied that he was infected with the plague in order to accompany Lu Xuan, and then took care of her everywhere.
Seeing that the eldest princess's face seemed to be shaken, Shen Xixu spoke:
"Mother, if the son-in-law stays by Lu Xuan's side, firstly, she can find out her relationship with the imperial uncle, and secondly, if she really thinks about the imperial uncle, I can stop it in time, right?"
At present, Emperor Liang Qin has always been suspicious of Gu Huanli because of the broken show, and always thought that he would damage the face of the royal family, and the eldest princess was also worried about this.
If this time he can really use Shen Xixu to find out the truth and return Gu Huanli's reputation, it can also relieve the eldest princess of a big trouble.
Thinking of this, the eldest princess nodded: "That's it, you can go if you want." ”
Hearing this, Shen Xixu was suddenly overjoyed, and couldn't help jumping up in place: "Mother, you are really too understanding!" ”
Seeing that this girl is so big that she still looks unruly, the eldest princess is helpless.
"Where did the minister go?" Shen Xixu looked at the eldest princess tentatively.
She then nodded kindly: "Go, be sure to listen to your imperial uncle's words, don't act recklessly, you know?" ”
"Got it." Shen Xixu agreed to the eldest princess's instructions, and then left with joy.
"Uncle Huang!" Gu Huanli rarely sat quietly in the courtyard for a while, and was disturbed by the little girl's chattering voice.
Gu Huanli turned around when he heard this, and happened to meet Shen Xixu's bright eyes.
"Ah Xu? How did you come back again. Gu Huanli was surprised, didn't this little ancestor just be sent away by him?
When Shen Xixu heard this, he immediately showed a triumphant look: "My mother has already allowed me to follow Uncle Huang to handle the case." ”
"What? It's impossible, don't lie. Gu Huanli resolutely did not believe that the eldest princess would let her baby daughter do such a risky thing.
Shen Xixu denied it aggrievedly: "I didn't lie, if Uncle Huang doesn't believe it, you can go and ask your mother in person." ”
Seeing that Shen Xixu's frank appearance really didn't look like he was lying, Gu Huanli suddenly became suspicious in his heart: "How did you convince your mother to let you out?" ”
Hearing this, Shen Xixu's eyes suddenly appeared with a dodge, and then he turned his back.
If Gu Huanli knew that she had made a big fuss about the rumors between him and Lu Xuan and came to the palace to be a spy under false pretenses, I am afraid that she would be swept away by him immediately.
Thinking about it this way, Shen Xixu could only hide his little plan in his heart, and instead responded to Gu Huan with a sentence of "mountain people have their own clever plans".
Gu Huanli was helpless about his eccentric niece, seeing that the eldest princess had no opinion, and it was naturally inconvenient for him, as an imperial uncle, to say anything more.
Gu Huanli nodded: "That's it, since it's the eldest sister's intention, you can stay." ”
Got another one, Shen Xixu was simply ecstatic, but why did Lu Xuan disappear when he returned to the mansion?
Shen Xixu immediately asked, "Huh? What about Lord Lu? ”
