Lancao's cry alarmed Lu Wan. She rushed out of the room and happened to meet Lan Ying who had returned from the upper yard.

The master and servant went forward and asked what was wrong with Lancao?

The orchid's face was so red that it was about to drip, and she was both ashamed and panicked.

But when I was talking to my mouth, I was embarrassed to say it, so I had to stutter: "No... nothing. I just passed here and saw a shadow. I thought it was a snake, so I was scared..."

Orchid is famously timid and especially afraid of snakes.

Lu Wan and Lan Ying did not doubt that they had him, so they comforted her and pulled her back to the house together.

Lancao went into the ear room to wash her face, and Lan Ying reported to Lu Wan about Ah Xi's situation.

"Girl, today the young master went to Wanfu Temple to burn incense with the old lady. The young master picked up a beggar at the entrance of the temple..."

Lu Wan was stunned: "What beggar? My grandmother agreed?"

The eldest princess is from a noble family, so she is particularly important in regards to the superiority and inferiority. She is not as good as beggars like the streets.

Lan Ying said: "It is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old beggar who is dying of illness and is still selling himself to bury his mother there. When the young master saw it, he felt unbearable and asked the eldest princess for the consent and spent money to bury the beggar.

Mother brought him back.”

"My grandmother asked him to bring the person back when she was about to die of illness?" Lu Wan became even more and more surprised.

It is an exception to let Axi use money to help the beggar bury his mother. How could the eldest princess ask Axi to bring a sick beggar to the Duke of Zhenguo’s mansion?

Lan Ying said: "The eldest princess doesn't allow it. The young master asked me to take him to the house of Shen, and temporarily leave the beggar with Shen's place, and ask him to ask for treatment and care..."

Lu Wan nodded and said heartbrokenly: "Axi has been wandering outside with Madam Gu since he was a child. Later, Madam Gu died of illness. He was even more lonely and alone. I guess he thought of his past when he saw the beggar.

, I feel sorry for each other, so I think of helping the beggar..."

Lan Ying said: "That's right. That's what the young master said when he asked the eldest princess for him, so he convinced the eldest princess and made her agree."

Lu Wan asked Lancao to bring out a bag of broken silver and let Lanying bring it to A Xi.

"Tell Ah Xi that you can't ask Dr. Shen for help in vain. The money you should pay must not be missing."

Lan Ying accepted it and said, "Girl, we met Mr. Luo in Wanfu Temple today. When the young master saved the people, he was there, and at that time, he wanted to take the beggar away."

Lan Ying has been following Ah Xi for the past few days. Before, when Ah Xi learned riding and shooting with Nie Zhan, she followed her to serve him. She had met Luo Heng several times, so she knew him.

Lu Wan's eyes turned cold.

How could it be so coincidental that Axi went to burn incense, he was here too. Axi saved people, and he wanted to save them too?

Could it be that he really set his sights on Ah Xi and started to attack him?

As soon as this thought came to Lu Wan's heart, he felt hatred and asked Lan Ying: "What is the young master's attitude towards him?"

Lan Ying: "Perhaps because of General Nie, the young master is polite to him. Oh, by the way, he also came to yesterday's wedding banquet and even gave the young master a good set of purple inkstones."

Lu Wan was stunned - Luo Heng came yesterday? She didn't even notice it.

"Who invited him?"

Luo Heng has no intersection with the Lu family, and neither the eldest princess nor the Ye family will invite him.

"I heard that he came for King Rui."

I see.

Lu Wan's heart was cold - King Rui was confined, and he still wanted Luo Heng to take care of him everywhere. It seems that he has not given up yet...

Rui Prince's Mansion.

After King Rui was confined, the gate of the King Rui's mansion was closed and the guests were cut off. The bustling and unattainable King Rui's mansion instantly became depressed and deserted.

The same is true in Prince Rui's mansion, and it looks even more deserted after nightfall.

Yu An lowered his head and tiptoed into the study room from outside, and whispered to King Rui who was standing by the wall of the book with his eyes down, "Your Highness, Mr. Luo is here."

When Li Rui heard this, he raised his eyelids and sneered coldly: "He finally gave up on his appearance."

Since he was confined, not only the high-ranking officials and officials dared not interact with him, but even Mr. Luo, who he trusted the most, rarely appeared.

The tea is cold when people leave, but that's it.

"Let him in."

"yes!"

Yu An retreated and soon brought Luo Heng in.

As soon as Luo Heng entered the door, he looked at Li Rui up and down, and sighed: "Your Highness has been cleared again. You must take care of yourself to plan for the future."

Li Rui did not move, and he curled his lips and sneered: "Sir, do you think I have a future?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Heng solemnly advised: "The overall situation is not decided, how can your highness silence yourself? I have not given up, and your highness must not give up on yourself."

He said again: "During these days, I have never dared to slack off. I have been looking for solutions to your Highness. At the same time, I have also found some news. Can you please listen to it again?"

Upon hearing this, Li Rui's eyes turned slightly, and he finally turned around and looked at the person in front of him.

"explain."

Luo Heng said: "I have sent someone to verify the identity of the widow brought back by King Yi. As we had expected before, it is indeed not simple."

Li Rui: "What is her identity?"

Luo Heng asked him back: "Do your highness still remember the case of Deng Gao, a transferee of salt and iron, ten years ago?"

A glimmer of light flashed in Li Rui's eyes, "Can she be a descendant of the Deng family?"

"That's right, she is Deng Gao's granddaughter. When the Deng family's female family was appointed as an official prostitute, she escaped privately. The emperor was furious and sentenced her to death."

"And her late husband was the servant of the Deng family who helped her escape."

Li Rui looked shocked. When he came to his senses, he showed a long-lost smile on his face. He praised Luo Heng: "Sir, he acted so quickly. He found out her background so quickly. In this way, King Yi took it in

The remnants of the criminals are still deceiving the king. This time, how can he excuse himself?"

After saying that, he was already very excited and quickly walked to the desk, took the pen and dipped it ink, and prepared to report to Emperor Jin.

"I want to meet my father immediately!"

Luo Heng stopped him, "Your Highness, please let me say a little more."

Li Rui's attitude towards him became respectful again, put down his pen and said respectfully: "Sir, please tell me."

Luo Heng said: "This woman has asked to break off relations with King Yi and establish a business on her own. Even if Your Highness sues King Yi at this time, he can say that he has no knowledge of Deng's life experience. Your Highness's move not only will he not hurt him, but also

Will alert the snake.”

When Li Rui thought, this is indeed the reason.

"Then, how can we use this woman to make a fuss?"

Luo Heng twisted his goatee and said in a deep voice: "We can not mention this woman's identity for the time being, and we will use it later. But yesterday, I went to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to attend a banquet, but I heard an unexpected news."

Li Rui's eyes lit up, and he was already impatient.

Luo Heng said: "Your Highness still remembers that I told you before that the first person to discover the iron ore map was Miss Lu Er."

"And yesterday at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, I heard Mrs. Deng say with my own ears that she had met Miss Lu Er a year ago."

Li Rui suddenly realized: "Mr. What does the iron ore map mean? Did Lu Wan learn from Deng's?"

Luo Heng nodded and shook his head again.
