The next day.
In the Eastern Palace.
"What a pity."
Madam Chang looked at the tonic that she had not eaten in time being taken away by the eunuch, her eyes filled with reluctance.
Lady Lu's expression remained the same.
However, if one observed carefully, it was difficult to hide the panic in her eyes.
Moreover…
The two eunuchs who had been following Zhu Xiongying today had also been replaced with unfamiliar faces.
Although the two of them looked like eunuchs, their eyes were shining.
The supplements were taken away, and a new person came to the Eastern Palace.
If only one of these two things happened, Lady Lu would panic.
But now, it happened at the same time!
What was even more coincidental was…
After court today, Lü Ben came to the Eastern Palace to visit his daughter.
Lan Shenxing was sitting in the courtyard, playing with a dagger in his hand.
After Lu Ben saw Lan Shenxing, he smiled and nodded as a greeting.
"Lord Lu."
Lan Shenxing stood up and bowed.
Lu Ben's seniority and status were obvious.
According to the family rules, even Zhu Biao had to bow to him.
Lu Ben smiled kindly. After chatting with Lan Shenxing for a while, he went to the Lu family.
Regarding this.
Zhu Yuanzhang's spies couldn't follow him into the Eastern Palace.
No one knew what Lu Ben said to Lady Lu, but after Lu Ben left, the panic in Lady Lu's eyes disappeared.
Moreover, Lady Lu had personally sought out Lady Chang to apologize.
"What crime does Younger Sister have?"
This made Madam Chang dumbfounded.
"There's a plague in the supply area. Although the scale isn't big, it can't be underestimated. If this tonic harmed the flesh and blood in her sister's stomach, then her sister would really be unable to escape the blame even if she died a hundred times.”
As she spoke, Madam Lu's face was filled with self-blame and guilt.
Madam Chang held Madam Lu's hands and said gently,""Younger Sister, what are you saying? You spent a lot of money to find tonics for me. It was originally out of good intentions. Elder Sister can't even thank you enough. If he wanted to blame someone, he could only blame the plague for wasting so many good things.”
“……”
Lan Shenxing was speechless.
At this moment, Lu shi would probably be well-behaved for a while.
In order to avoid being annoyed, he could only choose to stay out of sight and leave the Eastern Palace.
Lan Shenxing rode his horse to the outer Urban area of Ying Tian City.
He did not come here to relax, but to do business.
This place was very remote and had many fields.
The next spring, the potatoes would be ripe. He had to find a field that was convenient to take care of and close to him in preparation for widespread planting.
The outer city was the best choice.
Very quickly.
He chose a field.
Just as he was about to find out which family's land this was and then purchase it.
A green-robed middle-aged man walking out of a thatched hut not far away caught his attention.
He knew this person.
He also knew where this person lived.
That straw hut was Liu Bowen's former residence.
In the beginning, after Liu Bowen resigned, he returned to his hometown in Qingtian.
But how could Zhu Yuanzhang let him leave?
Therefore, under the influence of various factors, Liu Bowen had no choice but to move to the foot of the emperor and live in seclusion here.
However, things did not go as he wished.
Not long after he came here, Liu Bowen was indirectly killed by Hu Weiyong.
"Lord Lan."
The middle-aged man walked to Lan Shenxing and bowed.
"Why are you here?"
Lan Shenxing had seen this middle-aged man before when he was burying Liu Bowen. He was Liu Bowen's son.
But after Liu Bowen passed away, he should have left Ying Tian.
The middle-aged man bowed slightly.”
"Wait for me?"
Lan Shenxing frowned slightly.
He did not have much interaction with Liu Bowen.
In the early Ming Dynasty, the court was divided into two factions.
One was the Huaixi dignitaries led by Li Shanchang, and the other was the Zhedong Group led by Liu Bowen.
Lan Shenxing admired Liu Bowen.
His official position and status were inferior to Li Shanchang, and the Zhedong Group was far inferior to Huaixi…
He could still force Li Shan Zhang to resign and retire, and only after moving out Hu Weiyong could he temporarily protect himself.
Although the main reason for this was that Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid of Huaixi's dignitaries and intended to give power to Zhedong Group and suppress them.
However, he had to admit that Liu Bowen's ability was indeed outstanding.
To be honest, if Lan Shenxing had not been deployed all these years and was young and powerless, he would have been able to do so.
He really intended to protect Liu Bowen.
Unfortunately…
Liu Bowen was killed in March this year.
At that time, Lan Shenxing was thinking about how to turn himself and Lan Yu into commoners. It was difficult for him to protect himself, so how could he still have the mood to save Liu Bowen?
"Lord Lan, will you move to my humble abode?”
The man in green smiled and pointed at the straw hut.
"It's inconvenient."
Lan Shenxing wasn't sure if there were eyes staring at him.
As for him, he was a noble from Huaixi. Although he was not incompatible with the Zhedong Group, his relationship with them was extremely bad.
Although Liu Bowen was already dead, if he really entered the straw hut, it would not do him any good if this matter reached Zhu Yuanzhang's ears.
"Fine."
The man in green smiled and said softly,""I am here because of my father.”
"What do you mean?"
Lan Shenxing was stunned.
"My father once made a divination in the thatched hut and predicted that you would come today. He ordered me to wait here."”
"Why are you waiting for me?"
Lan Shenxing's expression was normal, but he was extremely shocked in his heart.
There were many rumors about Liu Bowen's ability to calculate, not only before he transmigrated, but also about cutting the dragon vein and deducing the fate of the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, even now, there were still many similar rumors in the city.
However…
Lan Shenxing had never paid much attention to these things. After all, in his deployment and planning, he could not have any communication with Liu Bowen.
The green-robed man looked around. After making sure that there was no one around, he said softly,"When my father met His Majesty, he saw that His Majesty had the appearance of a true dragon, so he followed him halfway until he became famous.”
"And then?"
Lan Shenxing narrowed his eyes.
"Before my father resigned, he met you in the Eastern Palace," the man in green said. Before he passed away, when his father was still alive, he used all his strength to tell this commoner something. He asked this commoner to give Daren a sentence after seeing him.”
"What is it?"
Lan Shenxing asked.
"My father's original words were: "This child can follow the dragon or kill the dragon. It's the great fortune of the Ming Dynasty to follow the dragon. Kill the dragon…"
When Lan Shenxing heard this, his expression changed and he asked softly,""So what if I kill a dragon?"
"My father passed away before he could say anything.”
The green-robed man shook his head and sighed." I've completed my father's request." From today onwards, he would leave Ying Tian and return to the mountain forest.”
He looked at Lan Shenxing and cupped his hands."Sir, can you let me leave?”
Lan Shenxing looked down at the man in green, his eyes flashing with killing intent.
His hand was already holding onto the Embroidered Spring Saber.
