Mrs. Lu frowned and glared seriously. Fengyun's cheeks rose a little dissatisfied. She raised her jade hand lightly and forced her to untie Xu Buling's top.

Xu Buling had no choice but to spread his hands honestly.

The strong muscles on the chest are clear, and there is a clear black blue piece on the ribs. It was hit by Zhu Manlong with a fierce punch. Although it did not hurt the muscles and bones, the body was weak in poisoning and would definitely not be able to recover in a short period of time.

The black and blue scars as big as a palm were like white rice paper dyed a ball of ink.

Mrs. Lu's fierce expression suddenly turned into heartache, and her eyes were angry and anxious: "Why are you so disobedient?" She raised her hand and wanted to hit Xu Buling a few times, but she was reluctant to do so, so she wanted to call someone to the imperial physician over.

Xu Buling quickly raised his hand to stop him: "It's just a minor injury, it will be cured in a few days, and there is no need to mobilize all the troops."

Mrs. Lu was born in a prominent family since childhood and had never even seen her killing chickens. When she saw the baby whom she wished she could hold in her mouth was injured so seriously, how could she bear it:

"You are still slightly injured when your chest is blue. You are poisoned and can't get angry. You promised you to go to Qujiangchi to fish and are still restless. You run to Baimazhuang to kill the blood. Do you think you are a prodigal son in the world?"

Mrs. Lu was speaking sternly, but her face was full of nervousness. She carefully supported Xu Buling and lie down. She took out the usual medicinal wine from the cabinet and gently applied it to Xu Buling's chest wound.

Xu Buling lay down honestly, looking at the mature cheeks leaning over, as windy as warm jade, red lips as vermilion paint, and breathing lightly on the skin on his chest, making it feel numb and itchy. He coughed lightly and said with a smile:

"I'm honest. I didn't do it very well last night. Xiao Ting has the reputation to carry. I just eliminate the harm to the people without leaving any name..."

Mrs. Lu pinched his arm in annoyedly: "Even if the Li family is unforgivable, you can just say hello to the yamen, or tell me, I can go and say hello, and you have to go over and take risks in person? You even have a knife to kill the tiger. If you act forcibly, what will happen if you hurt your heart, don't you know?"

Faced with Mrs. Lu's reproach, Xu Buling nodded with a chuckle:

"I know, I know, I'm responsible."

Mrs. Lu snorted faintly: "I said this every time, but I didn't take it seriously afterwards. One day I pissed off, so I stood by and stared at you every night, seeing if you are afraid..."

Xu Buling frowned slightly: "What are you saying? Aunt Lu is young, beautiful, virtuous, gentle and considerate..."

A series of serious sweet words.

Mrs. Lu looked at her annoyedly, and couldn't bear to give up any more advice. She picked up the food box from the side and opened it, which contained a plate of longans.

Mrs. Lu's slender fingers spread the longan's eyes, revealing the white and smooth flesh: "I just went to the Queen Mother's place, so I'm teaching Xiao Ting a lesson together... Humph~ The Queen Mother looked serious, but in fact she must be very proud in her heart. She thought Xiao Ting could do serious things..." As she said that, she twisted her fingers and sent it to Xu Buling's mouth.

Xu Buling sat up and opened his mouth to catch Longan.

"I knew at that time that you were trying to do something behind your back. Xiao Ting's virtue would not be able to do anything about Baimazhuang even if he gave him a hundred courage. It's hard for me to expose it..."

I was thinking about it all, talking about some family matters.

Mrs. Lu is widowed and has no children at home. She has a high status but cannot interfere in politics. Only Xu Buling can speak around her, so she is inevitably a little clingy.

Although Xu Buling always hides, he is caught and never shows an impatient look. He talks with Mrs. Lu seriously about these trivial family matters: "Xiao Ting is just a stubborn person, and he is not bad. He is the queen mother's nephew, so the queen mother naturally favors him..."

While speaking, Xu Buling sat up, raised his hand and pressed Mrs. Lu's shoulders, rubbed and twisted slowly.

Mrs. Lu thrust her waist and the longan in her hand almost fell to the ground, but it quickly recovered. She turned her head and glanced, and after confirming that Xu Bu Ling had no wrong thoughts in her eyes, she accepted this kind of attentiveness with satisfaction:

"By the way, on the first day of the twelfth lunar month, the concubines in the palace went to Qujiangchi to enjoy the snow. Several maids from Kuishou Street were inevitably followed, and I had to go too. I can't talk to them, so you can accompany me..."

"A bunch of women, I'm going to do something, those officials are like crazy..."

"Not happy?"

Mrs. Lu turned her head, faced her face, and was a little closer, and separated a little, revealing a little dissatisfaction.

Xu Buling nodded, "I must listen to Aunt Lu's words..."

"Hmph~"

Only then did Mrs. Lu withdraw her dissatisfied expression.

He talked, until a box of longans was eaten by two people, Mrs. Lu stopped talking without any satisfaction and stood up to remind:

"Stay good rest and don't go out again. If I can hear your good reputation..."

"When I heard my good reputation again, I stewed myself in an iron pot!"

Xu Buling nodded seriously.

Mrs. Lu pursed her red lips and put away the food box: "Don't lie to me anymore." She walked out slowly.

Xu Buling breathed a sigh of relief, hugged his head and lay down again, but he was not sleepy.

After a moment of distractedness, Xu Buling suddenly felt something was wrong. He raised his hand and put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and raised his eyebrows:

"How come Xianzhizhai's 'Moon Palace Osmanthus'... why does the same fragrance powder as the surname Song? Is this one popular recently?..."

----

At the end of Kuishou Street, outside the mansion of Zhongyong's Li family, the imperial guards of the brigade arrested two "self-decided" guests into the prison car. Li Tianlu, dressed in a cloth-clothed face, walked into a prison car by himself and went to the quarry outside the city to perform corvee service.

The wealthy families on the street have not taken any damage. Even the Li family is at the bottom of the house, even if they are at the bottom, they may have soared to the sky one day. It is a taboo to offend people for the sake of verbal quickness.

Gongsun Lu and Gongsun Ming, the father and son, were unable to help the Li family last night. They must come here to escort them in person today, and apologize to the Li family by the way to avoid bringing hatred to their heads.

Gongsun Lu took the initiative to run to Li Tianlu as a pawn last night, but he got fucked, but he made Gongsun Ming very angry and was still whispering:

"You have no eyesight, I heard that something is wrong with Baimazhuang, and you stick it up with a shy face. Isn't it enough to suffer a loss last time? Are you so many people under your hands who are having a good meal? You have to show up by yourself..."

Gongsun Lu had anger in his eyes, but he could not help but bowed and said, "The child knew his mistake... The Li family has always been making friends from all over the world and doing low-key things. I thought it was a leisurely errand, so I went there by myself. Unexpectedly, the Li family hit Xiao Xiang's knees, and the Li family was so careless..."

Gongsun Ming touched his beard and thought: "Last night was not like Xiao Xiang's style. The Xiao family looked down on the Li family at all. If Xiao Xiang was angry because he knew about Baimazhuang, he could ask Mr. Xiao to take his troops to search, and there was no need to go deep into the tiger's den..."

Gongsun Lu also felt that Xiao Ting's appearance last night was a little strange: "Mr. Xiao has always done everything in the capital, but he just doesn't do serious things. He was too resolute last night. If Xiao Xiang hadn't given advice behind his back... who would it be?"

Gongsun Ming walked back and forth with his hands behind his back: "You said that last night, there was a guest of the Xiao family and a female detective from the wolf guard?"

"That's right, the female constable happened to run into Prince Xu in Dayefang last time and cracked the case of private salt... Hiss-"

Gongsun Ming thought of something and was full of surprise: "My swordsman yesterday was Prince Xu? This is too far-fetched. Prince Xu is not serious than Prince Xiao. Last time he eliminated the harm to the people, his father was the reputation you forced to give him. Besides, Prince Xu was poisoned and could not make trouble. There is no need to deal with the Li family at such a big price..."

Gongsun Ming shook his head: "Idiot, being an official in the capital has to grow your brain."

Gongsun Lu was a little puzzled and got closer.

Gongsun Ming thought carefully for a moment and began to deduce it seriously: "Let's assume that last night was Prince Xu. The Xu family and the Xiao family didn't care about the same Li family at all. Last night, Xiao Ting and Xu Buling conspired and ran to Baimazhuang without using the help of their family. What's the purpose?"

“What is it?”

"reputation."

Gongsun Ming shook his head: "What the aristocratic families value most is reputation. Xu Buling and Xiao Ting are both playboys in the capital. They are young, but now they are about to reach the age of the crown prince. If they are given the reputation of "playboys", how can they become officials in the future? The prime minister must have found an opportunity to let them be whitewashed."

Gongsun Lu touched his chin, and seemed to understand: "Some truth... If this is true, why didn't Prince Xu appear last night?"

"well!"

Gongsun Ming looked full of regret: "It is all the best to use everything. Today, the court is praising Mr. Xiao for being upright and upright. This is Mr. Xiao's reputation.

After a few days, I will find an opportunity to pull Prince Xu out. In addition to the reputation of eliminating harm to the people, I will also have a great reputation of "being cunning and not respecting false reputations", which will kill two birds with one stone. If Prince Xu jumped out last night, there would be no matter for Prince Xiao."

Gongsun Lu suddenly realized and nodded: "...If the swordsman last night wasn't Prince Xu?"

"Baby, you're still too young."

Gongsun Ming touched his beard and chuckled: "If he was really just a guest of the Xiao family and had not shown up yesterday, he would not show up in the future, and it would be even more impossible to compete with Prince Xu for that little reputation.

As long as the news spreads, it is not done by Prince Xu, but by Prince Xu.”

"What if Prince Xu doesn't admit it?"

"The prince Xu will definitely not admit such a good thing. The more he does not admit it, the more he will not value false reputation. The Xiao family and King Su have some connections, so they will naturally agree to it if they can enjoy their success."

After careful consideration, Gongsun Ming was shocked: "Dad is really meticulous... what should we do?"

"Let the news fly for a while."

Gongsun Ming looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back and sighed: "When the time is almost the same, let's release the news first! Prince Xu and Xiao Xiang saw that they were so good at doing things for their father. Even if they didn't say it, they would remember the goodness of being a father in their hearts. This is called the way to be an official."

"Oh... I understand..."
