Ni Huang couldn't help but laugh when she heard that. Perhaps she felt that it was against her ladylike image, so she immediately held back her laughter and said,"His surname is clearly Su, yet you call him Mr. Lin.”
"It was a slip of the tongue. I'm sorry, Mr. Smith.”
"It's nothing."
Song Qun left with the dejected Mei Changsu. As they walked along the garden path, Mei Changsu was still thinking about Xiao Chu's unintentional words.
"Was it really unintentional? I'm afraid not. Such a person is indeed a young genius. He is quick-witted and talented. That sentence is probably really reminding me! "I have thought of all the talents of Daliang, but no one responded?”He probably already knew that I was Lin Shu at that time! Since he didn't say it out loud, he wouldn't say it out loud at any other time.。。This person was really powerful! However, this person did not seem to have entered the heart of the royal court. If this person had joined Prince Yu or the Crown Prince, the outcome would have been decided long ago.”
"Brother Su, why do you look so dejected?" Yan Yujin asked Xiao Jingrui in a low voice.
How could Xiao Jingrui know what Mei Changsu was thinking? He frowned and shook his head.
"Could it be..." Yan Yujin was shocked by his own thoughts and whispered into Xiao Jingrui's ear,"Could it be that even Xiao Chu is helpless against Brother Su's illness?”
Xiao Jingrui's eyebrows jumped. He was also shocked by this very likely situation. The novel replied," It can't be. Although Xiao Chu's temperament isn't good, her medical skills are still very brilliant. A few months ago, there was a small-flower outbreak in the palace. The imperial physicians in the city were helpless and were killed by the Emperor wave after wave. In the end, it was the Mirror Master of the Hanging Mirror Department, Xia Dong, who recommended Xiao Chu. After that, Xiao Chu entered the palace alone and used the secret method to completely eliminate the patients in the palace. He also broadcasted the method to the people of Daliang, so that the people of Daliang would no longer be plagued by smalllessness. Later, he was appointed as the deputy director of the Imperial Academy of Medicine by the Emperor. He even became the deputy envoy of the Xuanjing Division. If he could easily cure a disease as difficult as smallflower, then Brother Su's illness shouldn't be too difficult for Xiao Chu, right?”
Mei Changsu came back to his senses and heard Xiao Jingrui's words. He smiled indifferently and said,"Although Mister Xiao is young, his medical skills are very high. He said that he already has a treatment method, but he needs me to go to the medical hall every day to receive treatment.”
"That's great." Xiao Jingrui was overjoyed.”
Yan Yujin also nodded in approval.
After Mei Changsu left, only Xiao Chu and Ni Huang were left in the inner hall. Normally, a man and a woman alone in a room would inevitably cause criticism, but now that the folk customs were open and there was a saying of martial arts competition for a spouse among the people, the social ethos and women's thoughts were not restricted by Old Lady Huang's precepts. Besides, Ni Huang was the princess of Lord Mu's Mansion. Although she was the princess, she was actually the true ruler of Lord Mu's Mansion. She commanded 100,000 soldiers in the Southern Territory, so who would dare to give her advice behind her back?
"Sister Ni Huang, how come you have the time to come to my dilapidated clinic today?”The two of them knelt on the ground, facing each other. Xiao Chu poured a cup of hot tea for Ni Huang and placed it on the table. It wasn't that Xiao Chu didn't want Ni Huang to sit on a chair, but Ni Huang was not used to sitting on a higher chair after kneeling for so many years.。。
"Why? Can't I come and see you?”Ni Huang gracefully picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip. After realizing that the temperature was just right, she downed it in one gulp.
"Sister Ni Huang can see me anytime you want, but why did you have to delay your visit to the palace after returning to the capital? I'm afraid that Sister Ni Huang has something to ask me, right?”Xiao Chu smiled and took a sip of tea. She waved her hand and ordered the people around to remove the charcoal fire. "I think there's someone else coming.”
Ni Huang looked at Xiao Chu for a long time before shaking her head with a bitter smile."I can't hide anything from you. But who are the people you're talking about?”
Song Qun once again rushed into the inner hall and nodded. "Master, the Mirror Master of the Hanging Mirror Department, Sir Xia Dong, has come to visit.”
Just like Ni Huang, Xia Dong appeared before Xiao Chu before Song Qun could finish his sentence. Xiao Chu stroked his smooth forehead and muttered,""Why are these two women like this?”
Xia Dong walked into the inner hall and didn't stand on ceremony with Xiao Chu. He knelt down beside the two of them and poured himself a cup of tea. After drinking three glasses in a row, he finally spoke. "I don't even need to guess to know that you're here.”
Ni Huang was a little surprised to see Xia Dong." Why are you here?”
Xiao Chu sighed and said,""I'm afraid Sister Xia Dong and Sister Ni Huang have the same goal? Sigh, if someone asks me for a fee of ten taels of silver per person in the future.”
Ni Huang chuckled.
Xia Dong was not as reserved as Ni Huang and gave her a blow. Of course, it wasn't too hard. Ni Huang had been leading the army in the Southern Region for many years. Even if she could return to the capital every year, she could only stay in Jinling for a few months. In terms of relationship with Xiao Chu, she was naturally not as close as Xia Dong, who had always stayed in Jinling.
"You still want silver? Do you want my fists?" Xia Dong waved his delicate but powerful fist in front of Xiao Chu.
"Um... I'm not sure. Let's get back to business." Xiao Chu said seriously," I already have a plan in mind for the reason why the two sisters have come to visit one after another. In that case, I'll tell you one by one according to the order of first come, first served."。。”
"Let's talk about Sister Ni Huang first. This time, Sister Ni Huang returned to Jinling from the Southern Region in such a hurry that His Majesty was extremely anxious. It seemed that His Majesty was even more anxious about Sister Ni Huang's marriage than Sister Ni Huang herself. The reason was simple. As the princess of the Mu Residence in Yunnan Province, Sister Ni Huang exercised the power of a prince in the name of the princess. The 100,000 armored soldiers in his hands could be considered a vassal in the Southern Territory. The high achievements shocked the master! Although the Mu Residence was loyal to the imperial court and His Majesty, the people under their rule only knew about the Mu Residence and not the Xiao Clan. It was really too much of a self-respecting army.。。”
"That's why His Majesty wants to make a capable and obedient general into Sister Nihuang's horse. On one hand, he will control the military power in the Southern Region, and on the other hand, he will monitor every move of the Mu Residence in Yunnan. In this Joust For A Spouse, not only Daliang, but even South Chu, North Yan, Great Yu, and other countries will also send experts to gather in Jinling. After all, it's too tempting to command 100,000 soldiers in the Southern Region. I believe that even in Daliang, Prince Yu and the Crown Prince will not give up on this godsent opportunity. Sister Nihuang's marriage is about to be decided.”
Ni Huang bowed. Although she knew that she might not be able to keep her chastity in the capital, she was still not mentally prepared. "Do I really have to..."
Xia Dong felt sorry for Ni Huang and poked Xiao Chu. "Don't you have a way?"
Xiao Chu finished his cup of tea. He had just finished a long speech and his mouth was a little dry. After he moistened his throat, he looked at Ni Huang and Xia Dong's eager eyes and smiled,"Sister Ni Huang, don't worry. As long as you don't want to get married, I will make sure that you will never be able to get married!”
