Chapter 112 Why don’t I know how to take care of people?
Su He lowered her eyes, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Perhaps she is no longer in the city."
With Liu Jinglei planning for her, the brother and sister thought that they must have left the capital when they fled from Li's house.
In fact, Su He really wanted to ask her, she had been quietly publicizing for so many years, but ended up bumping into Lu Yunqing and getting into trouble, I wonder if she regretted it in her heart?
"No matter where she is, the prince will always find her."
Is this all under heaven the emperor's territory?
She is just a small woman, how can we not find her?
Su He did not answer, but the faces of Lu Yi and Lu Jiao appeared in his mind.
Her eyes hesitated for a moment, and she already had an idea in her mind.
Who says you have to look for it to find Liu Qiuqiu?
She could also show up on her own.
As soon as the carriage arrived at Li Garden, Su He saw a eunuch from the palace standing under the plaque. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was Eunuch Hongfu, the emperor's personal eunuch.
Seeing the couple coming back, Eunuch Hongfu waited for a while and greeted them with a smile: "Master Lu is finally back. The emperor has given an oral order and sent this old servant to announce it."
Su He looked up at Lu Huaihe and saw that he was frowning slightly. She had already guessed the content of the oral instruction.
"Father-in-law, please speak."
Hongfu said, "The emperor has ordered Lord Lu to sort out everything at home as soon as possible, comfort his wife, and set off to the southeast to investigate the case in five days."
Su He guessed it right.
There had been no news for such a long time that she thought the emperor had forgotten about it.
Lu Huaihe nodded and said, "I accept your order. I'm sorry to bother you to make the trip."
"Well, we are just taking it as training, why bother? But Lord Lu and his wife have only been married for three or four months, and their love is still strong, so we must coax them well."
Lu Huaihe lowered his eyes to look at Su He, and replied with a faint smile: "Of course I have to coax her."
Seeing that there was no one around, Hongfu wanted to give some advice, so he said in a low voice: "Master Lu, please don't blame me for being nosy. The Southeastern corruption case was ordered by His Majesty himself. Although he has been bedridden, his mind is as clear as a mirror and he knows everything. He is particularly concerned about this matter and often nags that he can't throw a problem to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a hundred years later."
Lu Huaihe nodded slightly after hearing this, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely fulfill my mission."
Hongfu stroked his whisk with satisfaction, "You are doing your job, and His Majesty will naturally be relieved. Since the oral order has been delivered, I will not wait here any longer. Lord Lu and Madam Lu, goodbye!"
"Father-in-law, walk slowly."
After Hongfu disappeared, Su He withdrew his gaze, and thought of what he had said, with a hint of worry in his eyes: "This journey is unknown how dangerous it is, you may need to bring a few more guards."
Lu Huaihe said gently: "Listen to my wife."
"I don't know how long you'll have to stay there. You can't be without someone to take care of you. I want to go with you." Su He remembered that she had mentioned this matter to him before.
"You can't listen to your wife on this."
Lu Huaihe walked around the screen wall and headed for the inner courtyard. Su He followed closely behind him and asked anxiously, "Why can't you just listen to me? If there's no woman to take care of your food, clothing, shelter and transportation along the way, do you... do you know how to arrange it?"
In fact, what Su He wanted to say was that she knew that this trip would be dangerous, so she was afraid that he would go.
Lu Huaihe didn't know why she was so nervous, and stopped to look at her with some amusement: "I am several years older than you, don't you know how to take care of people? Do you know that you kick the quilt several times every night, stay in bed for a while after getting up early, drink a bowl of soup before eating, and always read a storybook in your spare time every day..."
Every word he spoke was so light and casual that Su He was shocked.
She seemed to have not remembered these little things in life at all, but Lu Huaihe could tell them clearly.
In the faint autumn sun, his shadow was stretched very long, seeming to blend into the dimness.
Su He moved his fingers slightly, pursed his lips and couldn't speak.
The inexplicable throbbing emotion in my heart disturbs my thoughts.
"You manage the inner house, and I'll handle external affairs."
"As a court official, it is my duty to help His Majesty solve his problems. If I don't go, why worry about not being able to find him?" Lu Huaihe put his arm around her thin shoulders and sighed softly, "If I don't do something practical in my job, I'm afraid even my mother will punish me."
Normally she always heard him call her the eldest princess, but when she heard the word mother, Su He knew he had made up his mind.
Yes, he is an official in charge of investigating cases and is directly under the emperor, so how can he not stand out?
"Don't worry, I will protect myself."
Facing Lu Huaihe's repeated affirmation, Su He forced a smile in order not to make him worry: "Okay."
Su He had a hasty dinner and had no appetite. He drank a few sips of soup to fill his stomach and then returned to Qinfangju.
She had no ability to change Lu Huaihe's mind and could only pray for God's mercy.
"Madam, I have spent money to find out where Liu Qiuqiu is hiding."
"Where is she?"
"She lives in her hometown outside the city with Liu's parents. She hides in the house and rarely comes out. In addition, she is an adopted daughter and is not very popular with Liu's parents. She has been working outside for a long time to make a living and has rarely returned home. Few people in the village know her. So what should we do now?"
Su He heard what Liu said in the court, and he also knew Liu Qiuqiu's life experience.
As a woman, her life can be said to be miserable and her fate uncertain.
But no matter how bad he was, Su He couldn't be pitied for what he did in his previous life.
How can a person with a wolf in his heart sincerely beg for mercy?
Su He was very happy to see the Lu family and Liu Qiuqiu fighting each other. No matter what, one side would be defeated, and she just watched it for fun.
"Pei Xia, there is one thing I need you to do for me first."
"Madam, just give me your orders. I will do it no matter what."
Su He hesitated and said, "Help me find a Taoist priest."
"Taoist? Madam, are you feeling unwell?"
She shook her head slightly and said politely, "You'll know then."
"Okay, I'll take note of this."
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard in the yard. Lu Huaihe came to Qinfangju, holding a freshly roasted pork elbow bought at Fanlou.
Two plump pork elbows with a strong aroma of sauce were placed on the table, along with some delicious side dishes and a bowl of green plum juice.
Su He's head was buzzing with pain, and she looked at him: "Dinner was quite sumptuous, wasn't it? Are you not full?"
Lu Huaihe lowered his eyes and chuckled, then poured a glass of green plum juice and handed it to her, "You said you had no appetite, so I bought some green plum juice specially, would you like to try it?"
Su He obediently took a sip, and a sour yet slightly sweet taste immediately crept up between her lips and teeth.
“It tastes sweet and sour, and feels pretty good.”
Lu Huaihe said with satisfaction: "The shop owner said this is the most appetizing, I want to try it too..."
As soon as he finished the last word, he picked up the glass of green plum juice that Su He was drinking and took a sip. The next second, he frowned calmly and drank all the water in the teapot at hand.
