Chapter 762 [Under the Brocade 58]
After Lu Ting reported to the emperor in detail what Lu Yi had investigated, the emperor was very pleased and immediately lifted the ban on Lord Xu.
At this time, Yan Song saw the opportunity and knelt down to beg the emperor to let him take charge of the future medical affairs. The emperor was very pleased and thought that Yan Song was devoted to the country and the people, so he agreed to his request on the spot.
However, Yan Shifan was puzzled by Yan Song's action. He really didn't understand why his father took the initiative to test the medicine for the emperor. Facing his son's doubts, Yan Song slowly said: "All this is to consolidate the foundation of our Yan family! Besides, the tribute to the emperor this time is all the best medicine, what harm can it do to me?"
At the same time, when Lu Ting reported the matter about the elixir, he did not mention the Yan family at all. After Yan Song learned the news, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although this time he failed to overthrow Lord Xu as planned, fortunately, the alchemist who knew the key inside story had died, which reduced a hidden danger.
After some discussion, Yan Shifan and Yan Song proposed the idea of isolating Lord Xu. Yan Song nodded slightly to show his agreement.
On the other side, Lu Yi, Youyou, Yuan Jinxia, Xie Xiao and Cen Fu arrived in Hangzhou smoothly. As they were officials, it would be inconvenient for them to investigate the situation directly with their original identities.
Therefore, Lu Yi ordered Cen Fu to prepare several sets of clothes for ordinary scholars as soon as possible. Upon hearing this, Yuan Jinxia hurriedly added that she must prepare a set of men's clothes for herself. Seeing this, Youyou, who was standing by, was also eager to try wearing men's clothes, but Lu Yi firmly refused, because when Youyou went out in men's clothes before, she attracted a large group of women to chase and intercept her.
In the midsummer, the sun shines blazingly on the earth, and the streets are bustling with people. Yuan Jinxia's bright eyes are rolling around, and her sight is fixed on the girls passing by. These girls are either wearing silk skirts, light and elegant; or wearing simple and elegant clothes, fresh and refined, each with its own charm.
Lu Yi noticed Jin Xia's undisguised gaze and could not help but frowning slightly. He glanced at her with a little dissatisfaction and said in a deep voice: "We are here to investigate the case, not for you to come here to appreciate beauty. You'd better restrain yourself."
Hearing what Lu Yi said, Jin Xia stuck out her tongue and made a naughty face at him, but she knew in her heart that she shouldn't be distracted at this time.
At the same time, Shangguan Xi and Yang Yue had just arrived at Danqing Pavilion. Lan Qingxuan hurried forward to inform them that Lu Yi, Youyou, Yuan Jinxia, Xie Xiao and others were going to Hangzhou, and said that if they set off immediately, they should be able to find them in Hangzhou within two days.
Shangguan Xi heard this, turned around and looked at Yang Yue who was following closely behind him, and sighed helplessly. However, Yang Yue didn't care about it at all, still smiling, and followed Shangguan Xi closely with a thick face.
On the other side, Yuan Jinxia had already changed into a new set of men's clothes. She had an upright figure, a handsome face, and a chic demeanor in every move. This set of men's clothes made her look even more heroic, attracting many passing women to look at her with surprise in their eyes.
Just as Yuan Jinxia was immersed in self-admiration and admiring herself, Youyou, who had also changed her clothes, walked towards her. Seeing this, Jinxia's eyes lit up and she immediately praised: "Sister Youyou, you are so beautiful! After seeing you today, I finally know what a fairy is! Sister Youyou, take a look at me. I think I am pretty good too!" As she said this, she deliberately posed in a pose that she thought was handsome.
Youyou looked at the lively, cute and somewhat narcissistic Jin Xia in front of her, and couldn't help laughing. She stretched out her finger and gently tapped her forehead, smiling and scolding: "You, you are such a naughty little girl!"
"What I said is absolutely true!" Jin Xia said seriously. At this moment, Lu Yi just changed his clothes and walked out of the inner room. He saw the scene in front of him. He frowned slightly, looked unhappy, and said: "Yuan Jin Xia, you'd better stay away from my wife!"
Youyou, who was standing by, stepped forward and tried to persuade him: "Ayi, come on, come on. We are not here to quarrel, but to handle a serious case."
Hearing what Youyou said, Lu Yi suppressed his dissatisfaction, glared at Jin Xia fiercely, and warned: "Humph, Yuan Jinxia, this time I will not treat you the same way, but if there is a next time, you will immediately return home and get as far away as you can!"
Jin Xia, however, showed no weakness and raised her chin to fight back: "Lord Lu, you look so ferocious, aren't you jealous of how kind Sister Youyou is to me?"
Hearing this, Lu Yi turned to look at You You and said with a face full of grievance: "Wife, look at how arrogant and domineering she is."
Youyou shook her head helplessly and reminded softly: "Ayi, don't forget that we have an important mission on this trip."
Lu Yi said, "Whatever my wife says is what it is, but we must not reveal our official identity this time, so from now on, you are not allowed to call me 'Lord Lu' anymore. Let's just pretend that we are a rich young man and young lady who came here to play from the capital. I am the eldest son of this family, and as for you, Youyou..."
Before Lu Yi could finish his words, Youyou couldn't wait to interrupt and said, "Then I am naturally your sister."
Seeing this, Lu Yi hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "Well, then it's up to you."
"Then I will be Sister Youyou's fiancé." Jin Xia raised the corners of her mouth slightly and spoke without hesitation.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, two voices sounded at the same time: "No!" One came from Lu Yi, and the other came from Xie Xiao.
"Why not?" Jin Xia widened her eyes, looked at Lu Yi and Xie Xiao, put her hands on her hips, and refuted confidently, "Your words don't count. This matter has to be decided by Sister Youyou."
Lu Yi took a step forward, looked at Jin Xia firmly, and said in a deep voice: "Youyou is my future wife, no one should think of taking advantage of her."
At the same time, Xie Xiao on the side was not to be outdone. He hurriedly walked to Jin Xia and said loudly: "Jin Xia, I like you, you should be my fiancée."
At this time, Youyou, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up: "Okay, okay, stop arguing. Jin Xia, why don't you just be the young master of our house, and be considered Lu Yi's younger brother." After saying that, she looked at Jin Xia with a smile, her eyes full of expectation.
Hearing this, before Jin Xia could respond, Xie Xiao quickly nodded and said, "I agree with this!" Then, Lu Yi also echoed, "I agree."
Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Youyou nodded with satisfaction and continued to make arrangements: "In this case, from now on, Lu Yi is the eldest son of the Lu family, Jin Xia is the second son, and I am the eldest daughter of our family. As for you two, Cen Fu and Xie Xiao..." At this point, Youyou deliberately paused, then smiled mischievously and continued, "Just let you be guards."
When Xie Xiao heard that he was going to be a guard, he immediately refused. He asked angrily: "Why should I be a guard, and you are all pampered young masters and ladies? This is not fair!" As he said this, he stomped his feet in indignation.
Seeing Xie Xiao like this, Youyou quickly winked at Jin Xia. Jin Xia understood what he meant and immediately stood up and said, "Xie Xiao, if you don't want to be a guard, then we can switch roles. How about I be the guard and you be the young master?"
"I'm willing to do it, isn't that okay?" Xie Xiao had no choice but to say.
