Chapter 176 Wu is worried about the doctor's departure
Soon the news spread at the banquet that King Cheng and King Rui had a fight over An Muxi.
Everyone looked at An Muxi strangely.
Lu Qingxue laughed and teased: "Xi'er, you are really a beauty who brings disaster."
An Muxi was helpless. She didn't expect Li Cheng to pester her and even say he wanted to marry her.
She didn't expect Li Rui to help her! Now her reputation is...
Never mind. It wasn’t that good anyway.
On the way back, Wu pulled her aside and asked worriedly, "Xi'er, what's going on between you and King Cheng and King Rui?"
She felt terrible when she heard the news, and secretly she didn't want her daughter to marry into the royal family again.
The daughter suffered a lot in her childhood, and she only hoped that she could marry a man who truly loved and cared for her, even if he was of a lower birth.
An Muxi comforted him, "Don't worry, I have nothing to do with them. King Cheng is a lecher, I won't have anything to do with him."
An Muxi spoke without restraint, not caring whether it was disrespectful or not. Wu said quickly: "Just say this in front of mother, and don't spread it outside. After all, he is a prince."
"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, mother. I will not marry into the royal family again. They can't force me to do anything. For now, I have no intention of getting married. If I find a husband of my dreams in the future, I will let you know."
The image of Dark Dragon flashed through her mind. He seemed pretty good at the moment. However, the two of them needed to interact more before considering other things.
Mrs. Wu was even more speechless. Was her daughter still planning to find a husband on her own? In this dynasty, marriages between men and women were mostly arranged by parents and matchmakers. How could a girl find a man on her own?
"Mother knows that you have big ideas. We will help you to take care of your marriage. You can't just find a man to get married to!"
An Muxi didn't expect that after having a mother, she would enjoy this kind of gentle nagging. She felt a little sour in her heart, but she didn't feel disgusted because she knew that Mrs. Wu was worried about her.
"I know, mother, but you can't just arrange a marriage for me. You have to let me know in advance! Otherwise, I won't agree!"
Wu touched An Muxi's head lovingly.
"Don't worry, mother will definitely find you a perfect husband who will treat you the best."
After sending An Muxi back to the house, Wu returned to the Duke's Mansion.
An Muxi returned to her own courtyard, and her maid said that a middle-aged woman came to see her and said she was Xiaoyun's mother.
An Muxi quickly invited people over.
"Aunt Zhang, you're here. It's just right that I can arrange things in the mansion with you."
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Thank you, County Lady, for giving me this opportunity. I will do my best to manage the affairs of the mansion."
An Muxi introduced her to the affairs of the mansion. Now she was the only master in the mansion and there were not many people, so it was actually not that complicated.
"From now on, you only need to supervise the servants' work and arrange my food and daily life. There is no other thing for you to take care of for the time being. I will give you a monthly salary of five taels. What do you think?"
Aunt Zhang already liked An Muxi, and she was her son's savior, and her daughter now worked for her.
No matter how much monthly salary she offered, she would do her job well. Unexpectedly, An Muxi directly gave her a monthly salary of five taels of silver, which was considered a high salary among the housekeepers in the officials' families in the imperial capital.
How could she not be satisfied: "County Lady, this is too high a reward. I really don't deserve it."
An Muxi smiled and said, "You don't have to refuse. I'll give you a higher salary. This way you can live a better life and work harder. This is what I want to see the most."
Aunt Zhang had no choice but to agree with a smile: "Okay, I can start working today."
An Muxi asked Qiu Shuang to take Aunt Zhang to familiarize herself with the affairs of the mansion, while she was thinking about whether she should find an accountant to come over.
I can't always do all the accounting by myself. I didn't have money before, but now I have some property and a group of people, so I still need an accountant to keep accounts.
She thought of Aunt Luo. She heard that she and her husband used to be in business, but later they stopped doing business. She wondered where her husband was working now.
In Prince Rui's Mansion, after Li Rui returned, he felt a little annoyed. Thinking that Li Cheng had just set his sights on An Muxi, he became furious.
This bastard, it seems like he's living too comfortable a life.
"Sword Shadow."
After Jianying came in, he asked, "Master, what do you want me to do?"
Li Rui took out the account book that he had stolen from the crown prince. He had read the account book many times and had memorized all the contents.
"Send this account book to Li Cheng. Don't let anyone find out."
Let him and the prince fight each other.
Jianying recalled something and said, "Last time we arranged for several people to impeach General Yin for embezzling military pay, accepting bribes, and forming a clique for personal gain. His Majesty seems to be very dissatisfied with him."
In fact, most of these charges were false accusations, and they were enough to make Emperor Tiansheng dissatisfied with Yin Huaiyuan.
When Emperor Tiansheng saw that Yin Huaiyuan had accepted the 20,000 taels of silver from the crown prince, that was when he fell!
"Go inform Lu Qingfeng and ask him to prepare to take over the military power in Western Xinjiang."
It's time to return the position of General Zhenxi to the Lu family.
At this time, Doctor Gao asked to see him, and Li Rui let him in.
Doctor Gao was relieved to see that Li Rui's health had recovered well recently.
"Your Majesty, I am here to say goodbye. I plan to leave the Rui Palace tomorrow. Thank you for taking me in for so long. Now that your poison has been cured, it is time for me to leave."
Li Rui was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Doctor Gao would leave so soon.
In fact, his relationship with Doctor Gao was more like that of friends. Doctor Gao looked after him like an elder for several years until the poison in his body was cured.
In her heart, she was very grateful to him, and now there was no reason to keep him, so she said to Jianying: "Give Divine Doctor Gao 10,000 taels of silver later. If you need anything else, go and get it as soon as possible."
Doctor Gao did not refuse, otherwise it would have been a bit awkward.
"It's enough to have silver with you. I will also bring some medicinal herbs. You don't need to prepare anything else. Your Majesty, you must take care of yourself in the future. Now that Miss An and I are not at home, no one will take care of you if you get hurt again."
Li Rui's eyes flickered and he nodded: "I know, but do you need me to arrange someone to protect you?"
"No need, I'll just take my medicine boy with me. He also knows some martial arts. We are both men, so it's not that dangerous."
Li Rui did not force him, but just handed him a black jade plate.
"Take this. If you are in danger, go to the Shadow Pavilion for help. They will help you."
Doctor Gao put it away. In fact, he had already guessed that Li Rui was the leader of the Shadow Pavilion, but now he was sure.
After saying goodbye to Li Rui, Doctor Gao went back to pack his things.
At night, Li Rui wanted to see An Muxi very much, so he changed into An Long's black tights, quietly left the palace, and went to An Muxi's new house.
An Muxi had just washed up and went to bed. She was very relaxed in her own home, and there was no maid arranged to keep watch outside.
Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue were sleeping next door, so she felt relieved.
Suddenly she heard three knocks on the window and she sat up.
"Dark Dragon, is that you?"
