The niece was injured when she was dismissed and was injured. After Emperor Hui of Ming handled several urgent political affairs, he immediately rushed to Lu Zhan's villa.
As soon as he entered the yard, several servants in the front yard knelt to greet him. What surprised Emperor Minghui was that the Chu Xing brothers actually stood in the corridor. When he saw him, he walked side by side and bowed his head and bowed. On the way, Emperor Minghui knew that it was the Chu brothers who saved his niece, and the Duke of Chu's mansion and the Lu family had a relationship. The two brothers were worried that Lu Mingyu would have an accident and stayed here, and it was normal for news. Emperor Minghui didn't think much about it and went straight to the backyard.
The two imperial physicians had rebanded the wounds for Lu Mingyu and sat outside to discuss the condition in a low voice. Lu Zhan and his wife were guarding next to their granddaughter. One had a deep sword eyebrows and his expression was solemn, and the other had cried so hard that his eyes were swollen. He sat in front of the bed and looked at his unconscious granddaughter without blinking. Hearing the emperor coming outside, Lu Zhan's eyes finally moved, bent down and patted his wife on the shoulder, signaling his wife to take him to pick him up.
"How is A Nuan's injury?" Emperor Minghui waved his hand, waving the husband and wife's courtesy, staring at the imperial physician and asking.
The two imperial physicians lowered their heads, their faces were a little solemn. They looked at each other. One of them said, "When I went back to the emperor, the fourth girl fell down and fell, and had some skin injuries on her body. None of them was serious. But the fourth girl hit her head, and her brain was complicated. I dared not make arbitrary decisions for the time being. I have to wait until the fourth girl wakes up and diagnose it carefully. Please forgive me for your crime."
Emperor Ming Hui frowned, "When will she wake up?"
The imperial physicians lowered their heads, "This is incompetent." After that, they knelt down.
Zhu couldn't help it and swallowed even more. She was afraid that her granddaughter would become a fool like a gift, and she was even more afraid that her granddaughter would never wake up again.
"Madam, don't worry, A Nuan is my niece. She is lucky and life-long, and it's okay." Emperor Minghui whispered.
Zhu nodded in tears.
"Then I'll go and see A Nuan." After asking about his injuries, Emperor Minghui went to the inner room with a heavy expression.
On Zhu's bed, Lu Mingyu was lying quietly in the brocade quilt, with a circle of white gauze wrapped around his forehead, and blood was vaguely visible to the wound. The girl's eyes were closed, her cheeks were pale, and her lips also lost her usual delicate color. Emperor Minghui himself had no daughter, and he had always loved Xiao Xuan and Lu Mingyu, among which Lu Mingyu was more obedient and sensible than Xiao Xuan. Therefore, although Lu Mingyu was his niece, Emperor Minghui favored her the most.
Sitting on the bed, Emperor Minghui took up his niece's little hand and put it on his big hand, patted it gently, and looked at the sleeping girl with a gentle face, "A Nuan, the emperor's uncle is here to see you. The emperor's uncle knows that A Nuan has suffered. Don't be afraid of pain. When you wake up and recover, the emperor's uncle will give you Linglong."
"emperor……"
Lu Zhan was flattered. Linglong was one of the three divine horses that Dayuan of the Western Regions specially paid tribute to Emperor Minghui last year. The other two were Tianfeng and Yechen, both of which were very spiritual. Yechen was given to Chu Xing by Emperor Minghui. Emperor Tianfeng Minghui left behind himself. The mare Linglong was small in size and was snow-white and had no trace of distortion. Emperor Minghui joked half-truely in front of the ministers, saying that he wanted to give Linglong to his first princess.
Emperor Minghui shook his head, interrupted Lu Zhan's concerns, and continued to coax his niece softly, "Did A Nuan hear it? If you want Linglong, just wake up early, otherwise Xuan'er will know and will come and rob you."
Lu Mingyu closed her eyes and seemed to be asleep.
Footsteps came from outside, and Emperor Minghui finally looked at his niece and walked out with Lu Zhan.
The visitor was the horse official, who knelt in front of the main hall and said, "Your Majesty, I have investigated it. The horse's left front leg was stabbed by a scorpion, so he went crazy."
"It's been dealt with." Emperor Minghui said helplessly, the scorpion in the grassland is a natural disaster and cannot be prevented. As soon as the thought fell, he suddenly saw a burly man who looked a little like Lu Zhan knelt in the yard. Emperor Minghui quickly reacted and turned around and asked Lu Zhan, "This..."
Lu Zhan coldly glanced at Changsun over there, "As his brother, he only cares about watching people and falcons. He doesn't know how to take care of his sister, which causes his sister to be injured. Let's kneel down, when will A Nuan wake up and when will he get up again."
This is the way Lu Zhan teaches his grandson. Emperor Minghui had nothing to say. He told Lu Zhan to report any news to him immediately. Emperor Minghui took people away first. Lu Zhan kept sending him out of the other courtyard and watched the Holy Lord turn around. He turned back to the courtyard and caught a glimpse of the Chu brothers in the corridor. Lu Zhan said angrily: "You go, thank you gifts I will give you another day."
No matter what, the two brothers tried their best to save them, and they also immediately took their granddaughter's arm. Lu Zhan annoyed Chu Xing to occupy his granddaughter and refused to return him, but he was still very reasonable. By the way, Chu Xing understood that he recognized this favor and was willing to give him a big gift, but Chu Xing should not expect him to betroth him. A 25-year-old man is old enough to be his granddaughter's father.
Others may value the title of Duke Chu Xingguo and the famous man around the emperor, but Lu Zhan does not recognize that. Not counting his daughter, his granddaughter is his favorite child. He is only thirteen years old. Lu Zhan has never considered his granddaughter's marriage at all. At least in a year, he will treat his granddaughter with a young talent of the right age.
And Chu Xing...
First, he is old, and second, he looks cold and does not seem to love others at first sight. No matter how he looks at him, he is not worthy of his well-behaved and sensible granddaughter.
Faced with Lu Zhan's coldness, Chu Xingchao's cousin said, "You go back first."
Chu Suixiu clasped his fists and looked at him with complicated eyes, "Brother, do you really want to marry A Nuan?"
"Yes, you go back first. A Nuan wakes up and I'll explain to you." Chu Xing finally turned around and looked straight at his cousin.
Chu Sui was in a mess. He wanted to tell his brother that he had been in a bad mood, but his brother's eyes and his domineering attitude of holding Lu Mingyu, who was not allowed to rob Lu Zhan, all denied his guess. But when did the brother start to like Lu Mingyu? Why did he still rob him even if he knew his feelings for Lu Mingyu?
Chu Sui couldn't understand it. He only knew that his brother had snatched the woman he liked. His brother had already expressed his attitude to the Lu family. As a cousin, no matter how much he wanted to compete with his brother, he could not act impulsively for the reputation of the Chu family, so as not to let the Lu family laugh and let outsiders point at the Duke of Chu's mansion gossip.
He lowered his eyes and left silently.
Lu Zhan stared at Chu Xing who was walking towards him and said before Chu Xing said, "The Duke of the State has nothing to say, I don't agree."
Chu Xing said to the backyard without any fear and anger: "Mr. Lu, I want to stay here and wait for news, when will A Nuan wake up and when will I leave."
Want to impress him with this seemingly sincere but stupid method?
Lu Zhan sneered, "It's up to you."
After saying that, he left Chu Xing, and Lu Zhan walked into the backyard with big strides. When he turned around, Lu Zhan looked back secretly and looked at Chu Xing's green pine figure in the distance. Lu Zhan's heart suddenly became confused. Why did Chu Xing suddenly propose a marriage? Just because he held his granddaughter? Not to mention that the two families are relatives, they can be fooled by etiquette, and it doesn't matter. Generally, in this case, it is the woman who likes the identity of the benefactor or rather sacrifices her daughter to maintain the family's innocence, so she took the initiative to propose to agree to her, or the man who likes the beauty of the woman takes the opportunity to propose marriage. Chu Xing, based on Lu Zhan's understanding of him, does not look like a lustful person. Is he really such a gentleman and he has to be responsible for his granddaughter?
But the girls of the Lu family would not marry for such reasons.
Putting aside Chu Xing, Lu Zhan continued to guard his granddaughter with his wife.
As night fell, Lu Zhan leaned over his granddaughter's chin, and Zhu slowly fed his granddaughter to eat liquid food spoonful by spoonful. He kept holding on when feeding. After feeding, Zhu could no longer hold it back and hugged her husband's arms and started crying, "What should I do if A Nuan can't wake up?" Just a thought made her feel so heartbroken.
Lu Zhan hugged his wife, patted her shoulder gently, and looked at her granddaughter with care, and blamed herself.
He blamed his eldest grandson, but he also blamed himself. If he took time to spend time with his granddaughter, he would not have left his granddaughter alone.
"Master, the gate of the courtyard is about to be locked, Duke Chu..."
When the manager came out of the outside world, Zhu heard this, he broke free from her husband's arms in surprise and said in surprise: "Shi Jin is still in the front yard?"
"I asked him to go back first, he insisted on waiting here." Lu Zhan said sarcastically.
Zhu did not know the grudge between his granddaughter and the Chu brothers. In her eyes, Chu Xing was the granddaughter's benefactor and her benefactor. How could he treat his benefactor as naive as her husband? Therefore, Zhu washed his face and took the maid out of the room despite Lu Zhan's opposition. Lu Jiaping was still kneeling in the yard, but he was willing to kneel. When he heard the movement in the room, Lu Jiaping moved to the flower bed in advance, not wanting his grandmother to see it.
Zhu was worried and did not find her grandson who had been punished by her husband for a long time. She turned to the front yard, but saw Chu Xing standing in the corridor with her hands behind her back.
"How long has Shi Jin been standing here?" Zhu asked with shame, "I, I have been taking care of A Nuan, no one told me..."
"The old lady doesn't have to blame herself. A Nuan was dismissed because I failed to save her in time. I felt guilty. If I couldn't wait for the news of her safety, Shi Jin couldn't sleep or eat. Only when I waited here would my conscience be a little better." Chu Xing lowered his head, his voice was low and his tone was very sincere, "Old lady, go back, take care of A Nuan with peace of mind, don't worry about me."
"Silly child, what does A Nuan fall from his horse have to do with you? Go back quickly." Zhu grabbed Chu Xing's arm and tried to push him, "It's windy here at night, so you catch a cold carefully."
"Old lady, I'm really fine." Chu Xing didn't move at all, grabbed Zhu's arm with his big hand, and pushed the person away cleverly and respectfully.
The man was stubborn, Zhu really didn't understand, and wanted to ask again. Chu Xing suddenly raised his head and looked at each other for a moment. Chu Xing lifted his clothes and knelt down steadily towards Zhu. Zhu was shocked and bent down to support him. Chu Xing blocked her hand and looked straight into the eyes of the elders: "Old lady, at the end of last year, A Nuan returned to Beijing and fell into the water in Yongding County. I happened to pass by and went into the water to save her. At that time, A Nuan was already tall and graceful, Shi Jin couldn't help but be moved by her. Because she was too old, she was sure that I had no chance with her, so she never mentioned it to anyone. During the day, A Nuan had an accident, and I was anxious, but because of her lack of equestrian skills, I couldn't save her in time... Old lady, please let me guard her here, otherwise I would feel more guilty."
Zhu looked at the man in front of him in shock, who looked cold even when he spoke love words, but could not come back to his senses for a long time.
It turned out that Chu Xing said he wanted to propose marriage in the carriage, not because he hugged his granddaughter in front of everyone, but because he really liked his granddaughter?
Yes, the granddaughter is so beautiful, so well-behaved and so cute, how could Chu Xing not like it?
Zhu looked at Chu Xing again. This man was a prince, and seemed to be a high-ranking official. He had a status and ability. He was handsome and unconventional. He was even more eye-catching than his husband when he was young. He was only a little bit worse than his son. And as far as she knew, Chu Xing had saved his granddaughter twice, if his granddaughter married him...
However, his granddaughter is still in a coma, and his son and daughter-in-law have to decide on his granddaughter's marriage. Zhu will for the time being, and sigh: "I understand your feelings, but... Otherwise, you go to the guest room to rest first. When A Nuan wakes up, I will send someone to inform you. You can't stand outside for a night."
Chu Xing stood up first, but still refused to leave. Zhu was about to persuade him again, but suddenly the maid's ecstatic voice came from the backyard, "Madam, Madam, the fourth girl is awake!"
Zhu shook for a while, and when she realized the meaning of this sentence, tears rolled down again, but the person laughed and quickly went to see his granddaughter.
Chu Xing couldn't help but follow him for two steps, then slowly stopped. The phoenix eyes looked at the backyard, and his eyes were as bright as stars.

"A Nuan, A Nuan, you scared your grandmother."
The imperial physicians took turns to consult and confirmed that their granddaughter was not in danger for the time being. Zhu cried with joy and held his granddaughter's hand and cried, "A Nuan, don't do this again in the future. My grandmother's soul is almost scared by you. Do you know how long you have been in a coma? If you don't wake up, your grandmother will faint with you..."
Listening to the grandmother's whimpering cry, Lu Mingyu's eyes also became sore. He wanted to turn his head to see his grandmother, but then he moved. The wound on his left forehead suddenly felt as if he was needled. Zhu lowered his head and didn't see it. Lu Zhan panicked and quickly fixed his granddaughter's head. Tiger eyes glared at his wife unhappily, "Stop crying, the imperial doctor repeatedly told A Nuan not to be hurt and not to move his head. You are crying there, can A Nuan not worry about you?"
Zhu was shocked, but she was not scolded by her husband, but then she remembered her granddaughter's body. She immediately wiped her eyes and sat upright, and smiled at her granddaughter with red eyes, "Grandma is confused, A Nuan is ready, I still say what to do. Is A Nuan hungry? I asked the kitchen to serve soup, and it will warm you up."
Lu Mingyu smiled and blinked, "I'm hungry."
Zhu happily went to work hard.
Lu Mingyu looked at his grandfather, "Grandfather, you didn't deliver a letter to my mother and the others, right?"
"How can I not send it?" Lu Zhan changed his usual majesty, his eyes were indescribable, and his rough fingertips gently pushed away a thread of hair from his granddaughter's ears, and said with a smile: "Your mother can't leave, your father, A Nuan wakes up tomorrow, and he is almost here. Don't worry, A Nuan, I will send someone to send another letter to the capital city immediately, so that your mother will not be anxious."
My parents are well, Lu Mingyu recalled her thrilling moment on the horse, and tears burst out from her eyes, "Grandfather, I almost couldn't see you..."
She really thought she was going to die. She was vaulting because of impulse, but she really fell out. The moment she fell to the ground, Lu Mingyu had only regrets in her mind, regretting that she took the Chu brothers too seriously and regretted why she didn't accept Chu Sui's help, so that she could at least survive and meet her parents and relatives.
The little girl cried so suddenly that Lu Zhan was not prepared and almost lost his composure.
"It's okay, it's okay, if you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune. We A Nuan are the life of great blessings. By the way, A Nuan, the emperor said, when you wake up, he will give you Linglong. Linglong is extremely spiritual. As long as you are on her horse's back, even a hundred scorpions fly out to stung it, it will not be afraid of running around..."
Only then did Lu Mingyu realize why the horse was crazy. When she saw her grandfather coaxing the child, she burst into tears and laughed, accidentally touching the wound, and inhaling in pain.
Lu Zhan was so panicked that he didn't dare to tease his granddaughter anymore.
Zhu brought the soup to the soup, and the couple helped their granddaughter and the other fed it. It looked like a family of three.
Lu Mingyu suffered too much blood loss when he was full and he felt comfortable and fell asleep quickly. Zhu wanted to stay here to guard, but Lu Zhan was reluctant to leave. He was worried that something would happen to his granddaughter in the middle of the night, so he rested on the couch outside.
In the front yard, Chu Xing still didn't leave, standing alone in the corridor. Liangshan is high in the terrain and the wind blows cool during the day, which is most suitable for summer vacation. However, at night, the wind that pours into the corridor becomes cold. The wind is cold, but Chu Xing's heart is warm because she wakes up, because he still has the chance to be nice to her and also has the chance to make up for his previous confusion.
There was a crescent moon in the sky, Chu Xing raised his head slightly, the moonlight was bright, and it would be round in a few days.
The heart was warm, and the moonlight fell into his eyes, Chu Xing lowered his eyes and pinched his intact arm. An unprecedented novel feeling suddenly surged in his heart. He did not marry or like someone in his previous life. He lived again. He met Lu Mingyu in advance and met a girl who was more agile than his younger brother and sister in his memory. He was moved and he rationally suppressed the moment of his heart. Now he learned that she would rather die than renew her relationship with his cousin. Knowing that the person she liked became him, he would not have any worries.
In other words, Chu Xing will have a wife in this life.
Chu Xing smiled unconsciously, but was at a loss.
How should couples get along?
Chu Xing tried to imagine Lu Mingyu sitting in his room, eating, reading, and falling asleep with him...
But no matter how he thought, he couldn't imagine that he was the only one in the fantasy room, so he could not add Lu Mingyu.
Maybe if you get married, just let it go?

When he heard that his daughter was dismissed, Lu Rong hurriedly went home to comfort his wife. After giving the instructions, he rushed to Liangshan immediately. He couldn't see the road clearly at night, so he walked slowly, and spent the moon and finally arrived in front of his father's courtyard in the palace in the morning.
To be continued...
