Chapter 114
Lu Heng said that he didn't dare, took a step back, raised his hand and said, "I don't know how Mrs. Wuding Hou is being neglected here. Mrs. Hou, please go first."
Hong Wanqing couldn't help but look up, and glanced at Lu Heng in surprise. With a smile on his face, he spoke softly and softly, and his movements were graceful. He didn't seem to be the notorious commander of Jinyiwei at all, but looked like a humble and respectful student. The Marquis of Wuding had no intention of entanglement with Lu Heng in the Cining Palace, so she said her apology, then passed over Lu Heng and led the female relatives out.
Hong Wanqing bowed her head and followed her mother, and when she brushed past her, she seemed to feel Lu Heng's gaze on her very lightly, like a dragonfly on the water, and then took it back in an instant. Hong Wanqing wasn't sure if it was her hallucinations. After she left the Cining Palace far away, her aunt and mother breathed a sigh of relief.
Hong Wanqing held back for a while, and now she finally asked in a low voice, "Mother, aunt, is that Lu Heng?"
Mrs. Yongping Hou also looked incredulous: "It's him. He's younger than I thought."
When Mrs. Wuding Hou heard this, she said, "He's only twenty-three this year, so he's not young."
Mrs. Yongping Hou knew for a long time that Lu Heng became famous at a young age, but seeing it with her own eyes was far more shocking than she imagined. Marquis Yongping sighed and couldn't help but ask, "He is a foreign minister, what is he doing in the palace?"
The Marquis of Wuding shook her head and said in a tight-lipped manner: "Mostly because of the hauntings during this time. He often went in and out of Xingwang's mansion when he was a child, and he basically grew up in front of the Queen Mother of Xingguo, and the relationship is much closer than we are. The emperor gave him the case, He came to the harem to investigate the case, and he took advantage of the situation to visit the Queen Mother Xingguo, like something he could do."
When Mrs. Wuding Hou said this, she sighed silently in her heart. Everyone in the capital said that Lu Heng was domineering, but according to Mrs. Wudinghou, he was clearly very cautious. At a young age, he held great power, and he was not allowed to float to the sky when he was placed on him, but he was very sober, and he took the initiative to give way when he met female relatives in the palace.
Doing things with a high profile and being a low-key person, this young man should not be underestimated.
Although the Marquis of Wuding has an old relationship with the Empress Dowager Jiang, the relationship is limited to the fact that Marquis Wuding was a subordinate of the Empress Dowager Jiang's father. In addition, the Guo family and the Empress Dowager Jiang have no relationship. How can their relationship be compared to Lu Heng who is like half a son? Therefore, as soon as Mrs. Wudinghou heard that Lu Heng was coming, she immediately retired.
The Marquis of Wuding was full of feelings, and she did not forget to alert her sister-in-law and niece: "Don't look at him as handsome and beautiful, but he has a deep mind. Remember to stay away from him."
Mrs. Yongping Hou nodded again and again: "That's right. It's strange to say, I feel flustered when I look at his eyes. Evening, especially you, will detour when you see him in the future, remember?"
Hong Wanqing appeared to be submissive on the surface, but in fact she lowered her eyes to cover her inner thoughts. It turned out that he was Lu Heng, the famous commander of Jinyiwei, and the man who appeared beside Wang Yanqing that day turned out to be him.
In the Cining Palace, Lu Heng sat beside the couch and handed the Empress Dowager Jiang tea: "I haven't come to greet you for a long time. How are you feeling recently, did the last medicine work?"
After Empress Dowager Jiang fell ill, Lu Heng collected many secret recipes and medicinal materials from all over the place and sent them to the palace. Although the other person is not in front of him, his presence has not stopped for a day, and he may be more attentive than the emperor.
When Empress Dowager Jiang saw Lu Heng, the expression on her face was much more relaxed than when the Guo family was there. With a tone of reproach, she said: "I have reached the age of , no need."
"It's okay." Lu Heng smiled lightly and said, "I don't understand medical theory, so I can't help you, so I can only do my best with these little things. As long as your health improves, I will be satisfied."
Empress Dowager Jiang said reproach, but her face was full of relief. Empress Dowager Jiang used tea to suppress the bitter taste in her mouth and wanted to put it down. Seeing this, the palace maid stepped forward immediately, but Lu Heng took the tea cup one step before the palace maid and put it on the side plate, and the movement was natural and appropriate.
The palace maid lowered her eyes and stepped back with the tray in her hand. Empress Dowager Jiang's throat became more comfortable, and she asked, "Is the emperor calling you here today because of the haunting in the east?"
Lu Heng nodded. Although he felt very troubled in his heart, he still looked calm and determined in the face of Empress Dowager Jiang: "Don't worry, I will find the villain who is pretending to be a ghost as soon as possible. You just need to recuperate at ease, and don't worry about the outside world."
Empress Dowager Jiang was not worried about this. She patted Lu Heng's hand and said, "Aijia can trust you. You and the emperor are both smart children, and they were a lot of trouble when they were young. The two of you have a lot of heart, and the other has executive power. , oh, that counts people, a palace is not enough for you to make a fuss."
Empress Dowager Jiang remembered that they were still in the Xingwang Mansion, and she complained and smiled. Lu Heng smiled and said, "I was ignorant when I was young. Thanks to your care, I will take care of you in the future."
The Empress Dowager Jiang sighed and said, "You don't have to console me, I'm old, and I know what I'm doing. In my life, I married Anlu from Beijing, and returned to Beijing from Anlu. The only thing I can't let go of the two of you, the emperor is in bad health, and now he has no heirs. You are even more uneasy, the boss is not young, and you can't even get married."
