Lu Jiuyuan replied: "Thank you, Prince, for your concern. Except for the injury on the leg, the other injuries are almost healed."

Qi Yan heaved a sigh of relief, "That's good. The Duke has suffered a lot in rescuing my aunt this time."

"The crown prince is serious. It's what ministers should do to follow orders." Lu Jiuyuan shook his head.

Gu Changqing patted him on the shoulder, "As long as you are fine."

Lu Jiuyuan nodded, "Let's all sit down. Ma'am, call for tea."

Tao Yao turned around and went out to give some instructions. Just as she was about to enter the house, she saw Zhao Le walking over after hearing the noise.

"The Duke is injured and needs to recuperate. Why is Mrs. Lu so sensible? The house is in a mess, how can the Duke recuperate?"

When she came over, she scolded her head and face, Tao Yao couldn't help laughing.

Why does the eldest princess look like an old mother?

"It's a mess? Elder Princess, don't you want to see who is in the room first, and then teach my wife a lesson?" Tao Yao said with a smile.

Seeing this, Zhao Le's dislike for her increased a bit.

This woman, aside from her attractive looks, speaks so frivolously.

How did Lu Jiuyuan fall in love with her?

With a flick of her sleeve, she passed Tao Yao and entered the room.

But when she entered the room, when she saw Qi Yan who was sitting by the bed talking to Lu Jiuyuan, her face froze, and she immediately frowned, "Prince?"

Seeing her, Qi Yan stood up and gave a salute, "Qi Yan has seen Aunt Huang."

Gu Changqing and others also got up and saluted, "I have seen the eldest princess."

Zhao Le waved his hand, "Everyone is free."

Everyone stood up straight.

"Duke Lu is still injured, don't disturb him to rest." Zhao Le continued, with a displeased expression on his face.

When she came to see Lu Jiuyuan earlier, she was blocked from the door because she was unwell, but now, Lu Jiuyuan had more energy and met so many people at once.

The more Zhao Le thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

Could it be that she is not as important as these people?

Tao Ling and the others were surprised when they saw her acting like a hostess, but they didn't say anything.

Qi Yan has always disliked this aunt. Hearing this, his complexion lightened, and he said unhurriedly: "Gu and the others arrived in Linzhou for the first time today, and met Lu Guogong without thinking. If Aunt Huang is tired, I will go to have a rest." Let's go, as for Lu Guogong's injury, I will not bother Auntie to worry about it until I have my own discretion."

"Respectfully send off Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess." Gu Changqing followed.

"Farewell to His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess." Tao Ling and the others followed suit.

Hearing this, Zhao Le almost lost face, and seeing that Lu Jiuyuan didn't intend to speak for her, his complexion suddenly became ugly.

But she boasted of her identity, so she suppressed her anger, and only said coldly, "It's good for you to know, don't stay too long", then turned and left.

As soon as she left, Tao Lian secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

This long princess is so suffocating.

The master didn't say anything, she was an outsider, but she was here to point fingers, could it be that Her Royal Highness, the princess, is so free, and she is taking care of other people's affairs.

After Tao Yao led the people and brought in the refreshments, the atmosphere became lively again.

However, considering that Lu Jiuyuan was still injured, Qi Yan and the others did not sit for too long.

"Jiuyuan, take good care of your wounds. Your Highness and I still have things to do, so I won't accompany you." Gu Changqing said.

Lu Jiuyuan didn't ask him what was the matter, but said, "Protect Your Highness well."

"I know, don't worry." Gu Changqing nodded.

"Yaoyao, we have to go find our father and the others. They will be worried after we've been away for so long." Tao Ling also stood up and said to Tao Yao.

When Tao Yao heard this, she looked at Lu Jiuyuan with some confusion, "I..."

"The Duke is injured, you can take care of him here, I will tell my third uncle." Tao Ling patted her hand understandingly.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, Your Highness and I will send Tao Ling and the others there first before leaving." Gu Changqing also said.

Tao Yao nodded, "Okay then, I'll look for you guys tomorrow."

After seeing off Tao Ling and his party, Tao Yao returned to the house.

It happened that Wu Zejian's medicine was ready, so he brought it in and gave it to her.

Tao Yao took it, took the spoon, and wanted to feed Lu Jiuyuan.

Seeing this, Lu Jiuyuan said warmly, "I'll drink it myself."

"That won't work. I stayed here just to take care of you. I'll feed you." Tao Yao insisted.

Lu Jiuyuan laughed and didn't refuse again.

Tao Yao scooped up the medicinal juice, put it on her lips and blew it, and then fed it to Lu Jiuyuan's mouth.

Soon, a bowl of concoction was fed.

Tao Yao put the bowl on the table, came back and said, "Lie down and rest for a while."

Lu Jiuyuan shook his head, "No need."

Tao Yao frowned, "But you still have injuries..."

Lu Jiuyuan said indifferently, "The injury is fine."

"Why are you all right? You can't even get out of bed now, you need to get better soon." Tao Yao said disapprovingly.

Lu Jiuyuan took her hand and stroked it, "But if I fell asleep, wouldn't you be bored by yourself?"

Tao Yao was taken aback, it turned out that he was worried about this.

"No, I can ask Wu Ze and the others to play cards with me." As she spoke, she took out a deck of cards from her cloth bag.

Lu Jiuyuan hesitated, and said unhurriedly, "Wu Ze and the others are not free."

"Ah?" Tao Yao was surprised, "But I see them guarding the door, it's fine."

"I have something to tell them to do." Lu Jiuyuan said calmly, "You tell them to come in."

"Oh." Tao Yao didn't doubt it, got up and went out.

After a while, the guards headed by Wu Ze walked in.

Tao Yao stood aside, pricking up her ears to hear, but she saw Lu Jiuyuan whispering something to them in a low voice.

In the end, Wu Ze led the guards away with a strange expression on his face.

As soon as they left, Tao Yao closed the door, walked back to the bed, and asked curiously, "What did you tell them?"

"Aren't you going to play cards? I'll accompany you." Lu Jiuyuan picked up the cards she placed beside the bed, and changed the topic, "But how do you play this?"

When Tao Yao heard the words, she didn't ask any more questions, took the cards, and explained to him.

Lu Jiuyuan looked sideways at her and listened very carefully.

……

on the street.

The personal guard, Zhao Er, put his hand on Wu Ze's shoulder and asked curiously: "Boss, why did the master show such kindness today and let us come out to have fun?"

"It's true that the sun came out from the west and told us to play until it was dark before going back." The personal guard Qian San was also puzzled.

"Master must think that we have worked too hard during this time and wants to reward us." Ding Si didn't think too much about it.

"The opportunity is rare, why don't you go..." Cheng Wu rubbed his hands and smiled wretchedly.

Several people, including Wu Ze, kicked him with a disgusted look on their faces, "Your head is full of crotch things, get out!"

But not long after, a few people stood in a row outside the gate of the largest brothel in Linzhou City, looking yearning.

"I heard that this is the largest brothel in Linzhou. The girls in it are fat, swallows and thin, and they have everything you need." Cheng Wu continued rubbing his hands.

"Look at your promising appearance, as if you've never seen a woman before." Wu Ze cursed contemptuously, and walked in first.

Others quickly followed.

Cheng Wu, who was behind, sneered and said, "Everyone is hypocrisy!"
