Chapter 277

"I don't know why Master Taifu came late at night?" Zhuo Zhonghai invited Master Taifu to the front hall and ordered his servants to bring the best tea.

The Taifu looked puzzled, and said in a shy voice: "Master Zhuo, to be honest, the old man came here at night because he had something to ask for."

Xu Taifu seldom had much contact with the dignitaries in the dynasties. Whether it was the prince seizing the heir or the courtiers forming a faction, he did not participate in it. This was the biggest reason why he was able to stand in the three dynasties.

But today, he came to the prime minister's mansion overnight and said that he had something to ask for. This made Zhuo Zhonghai feel that the matter was not trivial, but at the same time he was very excited. He had been prime minister for many years, and he was no longer favored. Forging a relationship with the Taifu, in the future, there will be some guarantees in the court.

"Master Taifu, please tell me, as long as Zhong Hai can do something, Zhong Hai will never refuse."

Seeing that he readily agreed, Mrs. Xu's embarrassment eased a little, and then he explained the purpose of his visit: "To tell the truth, Zhuo Xiang, I came here tonight because I want to invite the second lady of your mansion to treat my unworthy grandson."

Zhuo Zhonghai's enthusiasm was poured with cold water, from head to toe, he knew, he knew, with Xia Yuanqiu around, good things would not happen to him.

Seeing that Zhuo Zhonghai's face changed drastically, Master Xu also frowned: "What? Is it inconvenient?"

Zhuo Zhonghai hurriedly laughed again, and said awkwardly: "That's not the case, it's just that the little girl is not in the mansion now, and Zhong Hai can't be her master."

Xu Taifu stood up with a bang, and said anxiously: "I met Pingyanghou yesterday, he said that the doctor Xia was in Zhuo's mansion, why is he not there now? Could it be that Zhuo Xiang refused to lend a helping hand?"

Zhuo Zhonghai saw that Grand Tutor Xu was about to get angry, so he quickly waved his hands: "That's not the case. Don't worry, Grand Tutor. It's like this. Just now, His Royal Highness Prince Jing came to Zhuo's Mansion to pick up the little girl. She should have arrived at Prince Jing's Mansion by now."

When Master Xu heard this, he didn't stop for a moment, got up and rushed outside.

Hearing that Taifu Xu had left, Chang Meifeng also came to the front hall from the back hall. Seeing Zhuo Zhonghai sitting on the Taishi's chair in a daze with a dejected face, she stepped forward and asked, "What is the Master Taifu doing in our house?"

Zhuo Zhonghai lifted his eyelids and glanced at Chang Meifeng, and said with a desolate expression, "What else can I do? Of course I'm looking for a divine doctor to heal my illness."

Chang Meifeng was taken aback for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said: "This damn girl, I don't know where I learned the ghost medicine skills, and deceived these people like monkeys."

cheat? Zhuo Zhonghai thought of Xia Yuanqiu whom he saw at the palace banquet that day. Was her medical skill a deception?

It was he who was confused, and would believe the woman in front of him again, believe her nonsense, a well-behaved daughter once again

Lost by himself, this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to find it again!

Prince Jing's Mansion

Not long after Yuan Qiu and Zhu Yan stepped into the gate of Prince Jing's mansion, and before they had time to drink a sip of hot tea, someone from outside came to report: "Your Highness, Mrs. Xu is begging to see you, saying that she has something important to do."

Zhu Yan frowned. This Lord Tai Tuo has no personal relationship with all the courtiers, and he will not go to any courtier's house at night, including the prince's mansion, which he has always avoided.

"Ask him to go to the front hall, the king will be there immediately."

The guards retreated, Zhu Yan turned to look at Yuan Qiu, frowned and said: "I guess the old lady Fu came here in such a hurry, it must be that someone in his house has an emergency and wants to invite you to see a doctor."

Yuan Qiu raised his eyebrows: "How do you know that the old master is looking for me instead of you?"
