As he had said, the decree of the magistrate was not long in coming.

In the end, the case failed to make a contribution, which really damaged the boy's self-esteem that Zhu Houzhao wanted to show in front of the "little teacher", so he worked hard when he was seeking an official for Lu Qi.

Because of this, Lu Qi easily took on this unattainable position in the eyes of others - the official position of the commander of Beijing Jinyiwei and the official position of the fourth grade.

Although the official position is high, and it is the emperor's direct order, he has no subordinate foundation, and he does not go to Beizhen Fusi to order every day, Lu Qi suspects that this may just be an empty official position arranged by Emperor Hongzhi for himself in order to coax his son, but he just receives an extra salary.

After reading the holy decree and closing the ceremony, Zhu Houzhao pulled Lu Qi over with a smile and said:

"Lu Shiyu will ride in Jinyi in the future, haha! Lu Yanshi, what a majesty! Ming'er will come to the East Palace in a flying fish suit, let me see Lu Yanshi's demeanor! ”

Lu Qi was helplessly pulled by him: "Your Highness, the flying fish suit is given by the Son of Heaven, and the ministers of this dynasty have received very few.

Even in the brocade guard, only the commander, deputy commander and others can wear it, how can Weichen, a small four-grade thing, be worthy of wearing a flying fish suit? ”

"Yikes!" Zhu Houzhao patted his head: "I forgot about this stubble!" At this time, the holy decree has been issued, and it is too late to ask the emperor for his father's obedience. ”

Lu Qi hurriedly persuaded him: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the promotion of Weichen to a high-ranking official without an inch of merit has already been looked down on, it will be too much for you to help the minister ask for grace!" ”

After persuading for a while, Zhu Houzhao gave up for the time being.

Miao Kui, who came to announce the decree, watched for a long time, and said to Liu Jin with a smile: "Lord Lu is really a saint's honor!" ”

"What Grandpa Miao said is extremely true!"

Liu Jin lowered his head, but thought carefully in his heart:

Although the emperor is easy to be promoted, a little show from the countryside can rise to prominence in such a short period of time, and there must be something outstanding.

In the future, when the crown prince ascends the throne, this person may not be able to be in a high position and rank among the ministers, and it will be difficult to get close to him when the time comes, so you have to have a good relationship with him first! ’

Thinking of this, Liu Jin threw away all his original careful thoughts about Lu Qi.

Seeing that it was getting late, the rain clouds were gathering, and Lu Qi was walking back and forth every day, Liu Jin was afraid that she would get drenched in the rain when she went back, so she diligently ordered someone to set up a carriage and send Lu Qi home.

On the way home, it started to rain.

Lu Qi asked the coachman to turn around and go to the hospital first, and Wei Cheng stayed there to wait for news.

After patrolling the entrance of the medical hall for a long time, Lu Qi made up his mind and stepped in.

When he entered, he saw Wei Cheng half-lying, and Dr. Cui's apprentice was feeding him porridge, and when he saw Lu Qi coming in, he hurriedly got up and retreated.

Lu Qi gave a salute: "I ......"

Seeing that she was so hesitant to speak, Wei Cheng's expectant eyes slowly cooled, and he had already guessed halfway: "Dare to ask my lord, is there any evidence missing in the case?" ”

"It's not." Lu Qi told him the truth.

After listening to what happened, Wei Cheng was silent for a long time, until he couldn't hold back anymore, biting his lower lip tightly, and those round eyes silently rolled down tears.

"I'm sorry."

Lu Qi hugged him.

A wave of dampness and heat on the placket of his clothes spread large water stains, and this ten-year-old child, who was so mature that he did not match his age, finally wailed and cried.

Lu Qi kept hugging and soothing him until half an hour later, when the crying in his arms gradually stopped, Wei Cheng sobbed and raised his head:

"An official of your age would not easily salute a child, so I know that you must have done your best.

Before I came, someone reminded me that the Wei family was just an ordinary family, and it would be even more difficult to sue the emperor's relatives and relatives. It's already good to let Qiu Rong pay for his life and put Shou Ninghou in prison. ”

Lu Qi touched his head: "It's hard for you." Qiu Rong has been handed over to Dali Temple for discussion, and he will be beheaded after the procedure is completed, do you have a place to go during this time? ”

Wei Cheng shook his head: "I don't have many relatives, and I don't know where to go in the future." ”

"Then come with me and stay at my house first." Lu Qi called the coachman in and carried Wei Cheng to the car.

When he got to the carriage, Wei Cheng looked a little cramped and uneasy: "I don't have the money to pay for the room......"

"People are small and ghosts are big." Lu Qi knocked on his head: "What do you want?" My house is not a hotel inn. ”

Wei Cheng blinked, bowed his head and said nothing.

……

The twilight faded, the wind swept up the fallen leaves, blew the curtains loudly, and the ground smelled of earth, and it seemed that a summer thunderstorm was coming.

The carriage turned around the corner, entered the alley, and stopped at the door of Lu Qi's house.

"Lord Lu, it's here."

got out of the car and was facing a strong wind, which blew so that Lu Qi couldn't open his eyes, and hurriedly opened his arms to block Wei Cheng, he was injured and couldn't blow the wind.

Pushing open the courtyard door and seeing the dark window, Lu Qi suddenly stopped hesitantly.

It's dark, why isn't there a light in the house?

Normally, Chen Yin'er should have prepared dinner and waited for her, and there must have been warm light in the window. Lu Qi had a bad feeling in his heart, and hurriedly pulled out his feet and ran into the house, pushing open the door with a bang.

Suddenly I heard a thunderous sound of "click", and the sky and the earth suddenly lit up!

Lu Qi saw Chen Yin'er lying on the dresser, motionless, as if she had lost her breath.

Lu Qi pounced and touched it, but fortunately, the pulse was still there.

But the man could not scream, his breath was short, his teeth were clenched, and he seemed to have passed out.

The coachman outside came in with Wei Cheng in his arms: "Lord Lu, this rain is really heavy...... This! What's the matter, lady? ”

Lu Qi took Wei Cheng with an anxious expression, put it on his couch outside, turned his head and instructed the coachman: "Go and ask for a doctor!" ”

"Yes!"

After lighting the lamp, Lu Qi pushed Chen Yin'er to the small bed in the inner room, and brought a basin of water to wipe the sweat on her face.

Looking at Chen Yin'er's sick appearance, Lu Qi suddenly remembered the bits and pieces of the life they had lived together.

Chinese New Year's Eve, Lantern Festival, Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival. In the north and south, no matter where they go, the two sisters-in-law always depend on each other.

As she said, two people are together, and wherever they go, there is home.

But because she entered the imperial court, she had too many things to do every day and was too busy, and she was so negligent unconsciously, Lu Qi held Chen Yin'er's hand tightly with self-blame.

By this time, most of the infirmaries had already closed, and the coachman had gone for a quarter of an hour, and only one young doctor had returned.

The doctor didn't ask about the condition when he came, nor did he check Chen Yin'er's diet, but just called the pulse, wrote down a prescription, and left in the rain with twenty taels of consultation money.

Lu Qi was still wondering, is it very simple to treat this disease?

After taking a closer look at Fang Zi, his face changed.

There weren't many medicines on that prescription, but each of them was either valuable or hard to find, and it would take a lot of effort to get them together.

But no matter what, Lu Qi must also save her! If you can save Chen Yin'er's life with these medicines, not to mention that it rains in the sky, even if there is a knife in the sky, Lu Qi will have to buy medicine!

Lu Qi arched his hand to Wei Cheng: "Let's go grab the medicine immediately, and I will trouble you to take care of the house during this time." ”

"I'll do my best." Wei Cheng leaned on the couch and saluted like a little adult.

Lu Qi picked up Chen Yin'er and got into the car.

Outside the curtain, the torrential rain beat on the window rafters, crackling and crackling, a small lantern lit in front of the carriage, and the firelight swayed in the wind and rain.

Lu Qi hugged Chen Yin'er in the carriage, and after the bumps along the way, her pulse became more and more subtle.

The sound of horses' hooves stopped, and the coachman's voice came in through the rain curtain, which seemed indistinct: "My lord, Zhang Ji Pharmacy is here, but it is closed at this time." ”

Lu Qi gently put down Chen Yin'er, covered it with a blanket, and quickly got out of the car.

The coachman hurriedly came up to get an umbrella.

But what's the use of an umbrella at this time? The wind and rain doused the person in a few seconds.

Lu Qi stepped forward and knocked on the door, shouting: "Open the door quickly!" Open the door! ”

After five or six shots, someone in the room answered: "Who?" ”

"In Xia Lu Yun, ask for medicine for your wife!"

A while ago, thanks to the storyteller, Lu Qi's name has been known to everyone, and there was a surprised "Huh?" from the door. Then he heard the sound of the latch moving.

The door opened, revealing an old face, looking up and down: "Are you Lu Yun?" Lu Yun of the fire dragon burning the river? ”

"That's me!"

Although Lu Qi was soaked, he was still wearing the official uniform of meeting the emperor, with a wat board inserted in his waist, and his credibility was very high: "My wife Chen is suffering from a sudden illness, and the doctor has prescribed a prescription, dare to ask you if you have these medicinal materials here?" ”

The man hurriedly took it and looked at it: "Shhh...... This prescription is in the middle of nowhere! I'll look for it. ”

After a lot of rummaging, I finally searched for two medicinal herbs: "That's all." ”

Lu Qi was a little disappointed, but fortunately, there was more than one pharmacy in the capital.

The coachman took Lu Qi and ran all over the capital, the streets and alleys, and finally gathered all the medicinal materials, returned home to fry them into medicinal soup, and fed them to Chen Yin'er.

At this time, it is the end of the ugly end and the beginning of the shower.

Sitting at the head of the bed, Lu Qi felt Chen Yin'er's pulse, half an hour had passed after taking the medicine, why did her face still not get better?

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Chen Yin'er, who was in a coma, suddenly coughed violently, Lu Qi hurriedly turned her sideways, but saw a trace of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth!

There was a dozing coachman sitting in the outer hall, and Lu Qi stepped forward to shake him awake:

"The doctor who prescribed the medicine just now, where did you get it from?"

The coachman was glaring in confusion: "Doctor? I asked him if he was a doctor, and he said yes, so I told him to get in the car. ”

Lu Qi stomped his foot in annoyance: "This is not sure if it is a real doctor at all!" If you delay the lady's treatment, wouldn't it be ......?"

The coachman realized the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly stood up: "This, Lord Lu, the little one is too guilty......

"Alright, let's find another doctor!"

Now is not the time to discuss who is responsible, Lu Qi waved his hand, it has been delayed for so long, and he can't waste any more time.

If it was daytime at this time, Lu Qi would definitely have entered the palace to ask the prince to transfer the imperial doctor.

But now it is the middle of the night, and when the eunuch on duty reports to Zhu Houzhao, I am afraid that the sky will be dawn!

Wei Cheng was sleeping quietly on the couch, Lu Qi suddenly remembered that a doctor was coming, and immediately decided: "I know who to look for, go!" ”
