Lu Wanwan was plump, but the maid helped her up effortlessly. But she didn't look like she had ever practiced martial arts. This must be a strongman that Lu Zhenwei had chosen especially for her daughter.
General Lu Zhenwei has been friends with the Shangguan family for generations. However, since the death of the head of the Shangguan family, Lu Zhenwei has never been to the Shangguan family again. She swore to her old friend to death, probably because she was afraid of being reminded of the past.
Lu Zhenwei also had only one daughter, Lu Wanwan. Because Lu Wanwan was a premature baby, she was born weak and sickly. Because her horoscope was too weak and her yang energy was too much, she was given a weak name.
Like Shangguan Yunxiao, Lu Wanwan is the apple of her family's eye. In order to treat Lu Wanwan, Lu Zhenwei visited famous doctors all over the world.
I just don't know why she suddenly went from being so frail to becoming like this.
Although the Queen appointed him as the Grand Marshal of the Army for this expedition, it was actually just a title without substance. The troops he could mobilize were only a small part of the Phoenix Army. One third of the real army was in the hands of this powerful general. The rest, in addition to what he had, were the Queen's Imperial Guards and Imperial Guards, and another third was in the hands of Prime Minister Gu Tingli.
In a short while, they returned to Lu Wanwan's mansion, which was also the residence of the legendary General Shenwei.
The layout of the general's mansion is different from others. There are not too many cold and hard weapons, nor any places for practicing martial arts. There are only rockery, flowing water, flowers and rare treasures. Presumably, this is all for this young master. Her horoscope is too weak, and it is not suitable for too much contact with those things. It can be seen that the rumor is true. Lu Zhenwei really dotes on this daughter.
“Everything mother has done is for me, because of my body…” Seeing Ling’er looking at the people around her with a delicate smile, Lu Wanwan thought she had misunderstood something and explained immediately.
But before she could finish her words, Ling'er raised her hand and said, "Miss, don't worry. I know everything. I am just sighing at the general's love for you. You are so lucky."
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, sir. It's all because of my poor health that I've caused my mother to work so hard, visit famous doctors, and collect all kinds of rare medicinal herbs, but my health hasn't improved."
"Excuse my rudeness, but I dare to ask a question. Before I came to Feng Country, I also heard rumors about the young lady. It is said that the young lady is weak... But I don't understand how the young lady became like this now..."
"To be honest, sir, the rumors are true. I have been weak and sickly since I was young. My mother was very worried and collected all kinds of nourishing herbs for me. Later, I heard that an envoy presented a tonic pill to the previous queen. The princess at that time, that is, the current queen, was pleased with her, so the queen gave her the tonic pill and then gave it to my mother."
Feng Xian'er must have been able to become the empress because of Lu Zhenwei's support. It seemed that Feng Xian'er was an ambitious person when she was young.
"After I took the tonic pills, my health did improve, my complexion became much better, and my appetite increased. In half a year, I became bloated. And..." Having said this, Lu Wanwan suddenly stopped, as if she found it a little difficult to speak.
"Also, your temper has become extremely bad. You get angry easily and out of control. Sometimes you even... lose your mind!" Ling'er said this.
After hearing this, Lu Wanwan's body suddenly stopped and her pupils dilated rapidly. Then she turned around abruptly and grabbed Ling'er's arms. "That's right, that's right, I knew you could save me. You are absolutely right. Since you can see my illness, can you please save me, please save me. I have caused my mother too much grief, and I don't want to go on like this. Not only can I not help my mother, but I often cause trouble for her because of some ridiculous behavior. Please, please save me..." As Lu Wanwan spoke, she actually knelt on the ground, her voice choked with sobs.
"Sir, I really didn't mean to offend you today. I don't know what happened to me at that time. I didn't want to do that. Please forgive me and save me."
The absurd scenes of her past flashed through her mind like movie clips. She robbed beautiful men from the people, acted tyrannically, and injured the people... Each and every one of these was not only a shame for her, but also a shame for the Shenwei General's Mansion. Mother cleaned up the mess for her again and again. She knew that she was like this because she was sick, so she couldn't bear to scold her, but she was afraid that her illness would worsen, and she couldn't restrict her freedom, so she could only let her be so absurd.
Although my mother is in a high position, the higher the position, the more jealous she is. Because of her own affairs, she has been reported many times to take back her military power. If it weren't for the order of the late emperor that the Shenwei General was hereditary and his military power could not be taken away, my mother's power would have been taken away long ago.
But how can I talk about hereditary succession when I am in this state
Her mother had to bear too much pressure because of her. She saw it but could do nothing.
If there really is someone who can heal her, she would do it without hesitation even if it means going through fire and water.
She is from the Lu family. Although her body is fragile, her bones are as hard as iron and she is born with the pride of the Lu family.
The maidservant beside her saw her young master kneeling down, and she also knelt down quickly. The general had sought help from many famous doctors for the young master's illness, but none of them worked, so she didn't think this handsome young man could cure the young lady's illness. But she was just a maidservant, so she couldn't say anything and could only follow her master's wishes.
Ling'er looked around and made sure that there was no one around. She bent down and helped Lu Wanwan up to talk.
"Miss, please stand up first." She knew that Lu Wanwan was sincerely asking her for help. Because in a country where women are superior, men are at the bottom. If it weren't for the restrictions of official rank, women would never kneel down to a man.
During the conversation with her, she could also feel that Lu Wanwan's true character was not bad. It was just that she was under the influence of drugs and lost herself and did ridiculous things.
Although she didn't feel Lu Wanwan's pulse, her body odor exuded a faint floral scent. Because the smell was very light and similar to body odor, it was difficult for people to detect. But she was familiar with all kinds of poisons, so anything with light related to poison could not escape her eyes.
This fragrance should be caused by her long-term consumption of some poisonous substance.
Moreover, she had a feeling that Feng Xian'er had something to do with Lu Wanwan's incident. If his guess was true, then Feng Xian'er was such a vicious woman.
"Miss, please get up first. This is not the place to talk." No matter who is plotting against the Lu family, since she has gone to such great lengths, she must have planted spies in the Lu Mansion. So if they want to talk in detail, they have to find a safe place.
Lu Wanwan was not a stupid person. After hearing Ling'er's words, she immediately signaled the maid to help her up.
"Sir, follow me. My mother's study is in front. No one can disturb us there." The study of a military marshal is naturally guarded at the first level. However, Lu Wanwan is in this state now, and she can still enter and exit General Lu's study freely. It seems that General Lu still has high hopes for her.
Ling'er smiled and nodded, and followed Lu Wanwan to the study. Along the way, she looked at the maid beside Lu Wanwan intentionally or unintentionally, as if thinking about something. In a short while, they arrived at the study.
The study was a restricted area that ordinary slaves and maids were not allowed to enter, so the maid called Xiao Jiang was naturally waiting outside the door.
It was just that when Ling'er was about to enter the study, Xiao Jiang looked very nervous. No, it should be said that she was particularly nervous on the way to the study, so Ling'er noticed her.
Could it be that she was the spy behind the scenes? That shouldn't be the case.
If so, how could she gain such trust from Lu Wanwan, who even knelt down to her without any reservations? (To be continued)
