Chapter 88
As soon as Xi Yu poured a bowl of medicine into Chang Yinyu, he saw Zhuo Ran and Li Xunchuan walking in together. He stood up, looked at Li Xunchuan's eyes, and hurried out.

Zhuo Ran was suspicious, she turned to look at Li Yuchuan, and said softly, "What's wrong with him?"

Li Xunchuan stood there without moving, and he said, "Don't worry, he will wake up. The doctor didn't see anything, just said it was a sign of mild poisoning, nothing serious."

"Poisoned?" Zhuo Ran stepped forward. Chang Yinyu's complexion was normal, and there was no pain between her brows. She looked like she was just asleep. She frowned tightly and said, "It's different from the poison under Liuli. It must have been done by that scarface."

Li Xunchuan raised his eyes, he quickly walked up to Zhuo Ran, pulled him into his arms, and said: "The doctor said you are fine, don't get too close to him, it's not certain whether the poison will pass to others, be careful point."

Zhuo Ran smiled, she took Li Yanchuan's hand back, and said: "It's not as mysterious as you think, I will take care of myself. Tomorrow will be Qiu Wei, Yike still has something to do, if something happens suddenly I'm afraid it's not easy to explain to Jijiu."

"Don't worry about these things." Li Yuchuan sighed, and said, "He took medicine, and it won't be too late to investigate after the end of the autumn. Xiyu is here to watch, and I will carry you to sleep."

Only then did Zhuo Ran nod, and Li Yanchuan walked out with someone in his arms, while Xiyu was guarding outside, Li Yanchuan thought for a while, and said, "Xiyu, pay attention to Chang Yinyu's breathing at night, and call me if you have anything to do."

Xiyu lowered his head, not daring to look at Li Xunchuan, and only said yes in a low voice, then stepped into the room and closed the door behind him.

Zhuo Ran huddled herself into a ball, nestled in Li Yuchuan's arms, and said, "By the way, Chi Yue, you will also come to the Imperial College tomorrow. If you don't go back to the Governor's Mansion, what will you do tomorrow?"

Li Xunchuan kicked the door open, stepped in and ticked it back, and said as he walked, "The imperial army is also independent, and I don't need to arrange many things. Do your own thing better."

Zhuo Ran nodded, Li Yanchuan put her on the couch, pulled off the quilt, but Zhuo Ran blocked his hand: "I...I want to wash my feet first, it's cold."

Just now, without shoes, she walked around in water socks, Zhuo Ran looked at Li Yuchuan, the man smiled slightly, fetched a basin of hot water and came back, squatted down to take off Zhuo Ran's socks.

"Second Master..." Zhuo Ran shrank back a bit, took off her socks by herself, and said, "I will do it myself."

Li Xunchuan grabbed her white and slender ankle and pressed it into the water basin, squatting down and pinching her feet like this, Zhuo Ran hummed softly under the warm water, this sound made Li Xunchuan raise his head and look at it carefully Zhuo Ran.

Zhuo Ran's hands and feet were cold, and Li Yanchuan didn't expect hot water to warm her up, so he just rubbed Zhuo Ran's feet with his hands, and the ring was also warmed up. Zhuo Ran gradually relaxed, looked at Li Yanchuan's covered face, and said softly : "The second master is so good at taking care of people."

Li Xunchuan chuckled and said, "You are the only one."

Zhuo Ran said "Oh", raised her hand and brushed back Li Yanchuan's hair hanging in front, she said: "Chi Yue, that group of people knows Gaodu very well, and they must have a stronghold in Gaodu, otherwise they wouldn't Come and go without a trace."

"It's just that there is too little evidence." Li Xunchuan didn't look up, his voice was muffled, and he said, "I have no way to check, and I don't know how to check, every time..." Every time his mother comes to Zhuo when he is not around If he is in trouble, don't let him catch the opportunity, otherwise he will definitely get it back a hundred times.

Zhuo Ran listened carefully, but there was nothing to say.She didn't know what Li Yanchuan said, and thought he was thinking, so she lay back and waited for Li Yanchuan to speak.

After a while, Li Yanchuan said: "Tomorrow, don't run around, I will keep watch outside, and come to me if you need anything."

Zhuo Ran let out a deep "hmm".

Li Xunchuan took a cloth towel, wiped her clean and went out to pour water. When he came back, Zhuo Ran was almost asleep.Li Xunchuan washed his hands, moved her to the position, got on the couch and leaned against Zhuo Ran's back, holding her tightly in his arms, as if afraid of running away.

There were still marks on the side of her neck, Li Xunchuan applied the medicine while she was still awake, and now she didn't dare to touch it, Zhuo Ran turned over to hug her, Li Xunchuan used his arm as Zhuo Ran's pillow.

"Let me tell you, Zhuo Xiaqiu," Li Yanchuan said in a muffled voice, rubbing the top of her hair, "you are mine."

Zhuo Ran listened to his voice, and fell asleep just like that, not knowing if he understood it.

Liu Yulin presided over Qiu Wei, and Chu Shiyu was not idle, just waiting for news in the palace from time to time, and if there was another situation like that, he would inevitably talk to Li Yuchuan.

Chang Yinyu seemed to be fine, Zhuo Ran sent him the cloak, and Xiyu and Chang Yinyu went ahead.Evil left Zhuo Ran's place last night, and Li Yunchuan lowered his head and hung Evil around his waist, and took the hot tea handed over by Zhuo Ran.

"The news just came late last night that Yushitai will send some people to sit in the Imperial College." Li Yanchuan smelled the fragrance of tea, watched Zhuo Ran tie his belt into a beautiful knot, closed his eyes and said, "No accident." If you want to meet Li Chengru, if Liu Yulin is around, you should stay away."

Zhuo Ran couldn't reach the tie at the back, Li Yuchuan freed up a hand to help her, Zhuo Ran smiled and said, "I'm not afraid if it happens to me, but now is not the time, I'll be measured."

"Properity?" Li Yuchuan avoided the evil to poke her, turned his body slightly, pinched Zhuo Ran lightly, and said, "Our Xiaqiu has really grown up, and we still know how to measure?"

Zhuo Ran turned her head and brushed the tip of her nose with him, she said softly, "Huh?"

The corner of Li Xunchuan's mouth curled up, and he drank the hot tea in one gulp, throwing the teacup on the table next to him.Zhuo Ran gave a light "tsk", thankfully it didn't break, it was all silver.

Li Xunchuan bent down, he raised Zhuo Ran's chin, warmed her cold lips, and then let go of the hand that was pinching her waist.Zhuo Ran looked at Li Yuchuan, and thought of something else - he had to find a way to earn some money, with such a Living Buddha here, the newly built house would be ruined sooner or later.

The coordinator raised his hand and rang the big copper bell. Dr. Li hung his badge and began to supervise the examination rooms. Liu Yulin and everyone from Yushitai sat in the side hall, waiting for the bell to ring when the examination was over.

What Li Xunchuan said was right, Li Chengru had been silent for many days, and finally saw him on this occasion.Zhuo Ran wanted to report the situation to Liu Yulin, and entered the side hall with Chang Yinyu.

Zhuo Ran leaned over to salute, and Chang Yinyu bowed after her.Liu Yulin smiled and said, "Xiaqiu, you've been standing outside for so long, please sit down and talk."

"Thank you for your sympathy." Zhuo Ran declined, and said, "I have to go to see the situation in the western examination room, so I'll make a long story short. The examination room in the eastern and southern districts has been properly arranged, and the candidates have already taken their seats. Don't worry, Mr. Jijiu."

"It's natural for you to do things safely." Liu Yulin nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Zhuo Ran was about to leave when Li Chengru laughed and said, "I've heard about Zhuo Siye's deeds since I was in Yushitai. They all said that Zhuo Siye is not only beautiful, but also orderly. Many young censors praised him in front of me And you."

"Yes." As soon as Zhuo Ran was mentioned, the deeds really couldn't be finished. Immediately, someone jumped out of the silent atmosphere just now, and echoed: "The students of the Imperial College were instigated by others. Zhuo Siye was intimidated, I heard that those students were scared to death when they saw Zhuo Siye."

Liu Yulin's brows sank. Didn't he keep people from talking about this matter?

Zhuo Ran followed the voice and looked over, it was a strange face.

"As an official, you have to be like this, otherwise you will be obedient all day long, how can you achieve anything."

"Zhuo Siye was originally a talented woman from Yongzhou, and she was the director of Yongzhou literati. It's not surprising that she has such courage. Besides, during the four years in Zuixueting, Zhuo Siye may not have been taught by the former imperial tutor. Once you come, isn't it the material for becoming a talent!"

Li Chengru secretly glanced at Zhuo Ran after hearing the word "Former Tutor".Chang Yinyu's face was expressionless, Zhuo Ran looked calm, and Li Chengru raised an eyebrow.

"That grand master is stubborn." Li Chengru looked straight at Zhuo Ran, and said, "However, after so many years, the so-called heroes are late, and if there is no successor, I am afraid that they will die in peace."

Zhuo Ran raised the end of her eyes, the perfect arc made people's hearts flutter, but she didn't know what that expression meant at all.She said softly: "Your lords are overrated. Zhuo Xiaqiu is an ordinary person, how can he get advice from the former imperial tutor. Besides, Zhuo Xiaqiu is loyal to Dayu and colluded with people from the former court. If this word gets out, I will Whether this life can be saved or not is uncertain."

Liu Yulin looked at Zhuo Ran.

"Xiaqiu just wants to live well, and you adults should be merciful." Zhuo Ran met Liu Yulin's eyes after speaking, and she lowered her head and said, "Master Jijiu, I will take my leave first."

Liu Yulin said: "Don't be upset with Xiaqiu, it's just a joke, my lords. Don't take it to heart."

Zhuo Ran raised her eyes, Liu Yulin signaled her to back down, and Chang Yinyu followed Zhuo Ran out.

These people obviously deliberately brought up the topic of the former prince.Zhuo Ran sighed deeply, Li Chengru must have news from Liao Ze, Han Congzhong's existence was originally a temporary decision, Chu Shiyu never made a move, just to see how deep the connection between Zhuo Ran and Han Congzhong was.

From the moment Zhuo Ran left Zuixueting, he had been avoiding anything related to his master. Half of Han Congzhong's failure to be targeted was because time had changed and he was almost forgotten, and the other half was because of Chu Shiyu's situation. Zhuo Ran couldn't guess what the purpose of this game was, whether the thing she had been worrying about would happen.

"Yike, I think something is wrong." Zhuo Ran kept frowning on the road, she looked at Chang Yinyu behind her, and said, "Why did they suddenly mention Master, I..."

Chang Yinyu smacked his lips, and said helplessly: "Young junior sister, don't say that the wind is the rain, what can the master do, those people just say it casually, don't be bitten by a snake once, and be afraid of well ropes for ten years. "

Zhuo Ran sighed and said, "I didn't say what you were so excited about."

"I don't have it." Chang Yinyu walked forward, he hugged Zhuo Ran's shoulders, and said, "Don't worry, I will go to Zuixueting after the investigation in the West District, and I will come back and tell you ,is this okay?"

Zhuo Ran raised her hand and knocked off his hand, which was her agreement. She said, "Don't treat me like a child."

Chang Yinyu smiled, and followed Zhuo Ran to the west examination room.

Although she said it was okay, Zhuo Ran still felt restless in her heart, as if she hadn't met Li Yuchuan before, she didn't know why she was worried.But now that Han Congzhong was involved, she seemed to understand what she was most afraid of.

Xiong Zhenghao and Gu Zhao took care of everything, while Li Xunchuan didn't care about anything, and hid from the sun in the shed with his legs crossed.Xiyu whispered in his ear for a while, and Li Xunchuan's expression immediately changed.

"I knew that Yan Chengxuan and Wen Rongxi must have something to discuss." Li Yanchuan leaned on the wicker chair, Wen Rongxi had to pass Yan Chengxuan to see Wuxiu Pavilion, and everyone in Qiu Wei was busy, so it was a good time.

Xiyu nodded, and said: "Master, I don't know why they want to see Wu Xiuting? Although Wu Xiuting is the servant of the Ministry of War, he may not be so open-minded on weekdays."

"Although Wu Xiuting was brought up by Xu Zheng, Wu Xiuting can only be said to have failed his master's teachings. Just look at how crazy our imperial guards have become that day." Li Yanchuan said with a smirk: " But this person is only interested in profit, if he can be arrogant, he will definitely be able to make people catch him, he doesn't love anything, he just loves this."

Seeing Li Yuchuan rubbing his fingers, Xiyu immediately understood.He said: "Master, the Yan family will not easily target Wu Xiuting, I'm afraid there is another trick."

Li Xunchuan shook his head and said, "Wen Rongxi meant this matter, and it has nothing to do with the Yan family. By the way, do you know Wu Xiuting's cousin Wu Lianyi?"

Xiyu thought for a while, and said: "I know. But he is just a small official. I heard that he was originally the eldest son of the Wu family, but because Wu Xiuting was taught by Xu Zheng, he became the Minister of the Ministry of War. The Wu family treated Wu Xiuting very strangely." Respect, more than Wu Lianyi."

"Wu Lianyi is not a fuel-efficient lamp." Li Yuchuan said: "At that time, Wu Lianyi was still in the Wu family. Anyway, the Wu family is also one of the heads of the six major cities. With such a stain, the reputation is naturally inferior to Wu Xiuting."

Wu Lianyi finally climbed to Yan's house.The Yan family never selected candidates based on their qualifications, but on their value. Wu Lianyi was favored by Yan Chengxuan. Although others didn't know about this matter, Li Yuchuan knew that it took some years to confuse the name of a gentleman so that there was no scum left. Another gain.Wu Lianyi seldom showed up, and was transferred from the Ministry of War to the Ministry of Households to settle accounts. The little servants made people feel aggrieved.But this is also a good job, at least Wu Xiuting's infamy has nothing to do with him, and he has been clean.

Li Xunchuan sighed softly, and said to himself, "Now it's not something that you and I can solve."

Xiyu looked down at Li Yuchuan, but his master showed no expression, and asked him to draw a private account, saying that he would continue to rent out the building to hold banquets.

The chatter and laughter in the side hall has not stopped since Zhuo Ran left, especially when talking about how Han Congzhong went from a high-ranking grand master to a prisoner today. I believe that Zhuo Ran can relax so much, there must be something else.
