The temperamental white moonlight is back, and the entire Marquis's family obediently calls him

Lu Mingzhao knew from a young age that it was harder to be a good person than a bad person.

Good people tend to be cautious and have many concerns.

Bad people only need to act according to their conscience.

Despite this, Lu Mingzhao was still unwilling to give up trying.

There are many things in this world that are easy to lose but can also be regained.

For example, gold and silver.

But there are also many things that are easy to lose but hard to find again.

For example, conscience.

"So, Madam Dong isn't planning to help me?"

Dong Heqing smiled helplessly: "I would like to help, but I am powerless to do so. I can't risk displeasing the Emperor by helping you. After all, the position of Director of the Imperial Observatory has been vacant for a long time, and my husband is still waiting for it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingzhao said, "As you said, His Majesty is only unwilling to open the granaries to distribute grain because of the dignity of the royal family, but that does not mean that His Majesty likes to wage war."

"Although Lord Xu is in the Imperial Observatory, he may not be as familiar with the Emperor's thoughts as Zhou Ningchuan. Over the years, the Emperor has been corresponding with Zhou Ningchuan, who is far away in the Northwest, every month, expressing his hope that he can continue to suppress those small rebellious countries in the Northwest, so as to avoid wasting manpower and resources."

"If the emperor thinks this way when all is well, would he really want another rebellion now that the northwest is in turmoil?"

Dong Heqing paused, a hint of surprise appearing in her eyes as she looked at Lu Mingzhao.

Lu Mingzhao: "That may be true, but I cannot control Madam Dong's mind. However, if Li'er can return safely, I promise that I will do my best to help Lord Xu get promoted to the position of Supervisor."

A glint flashed in Dong Heqing's eyes, but she didn't speak.

Seeing that she was still deep in thought, Lu Mingzhao stood up, intending to take his leave.

Lu Mingzhao didn't have much patience to deal with the other party.

If Dong Heqing really can't help her, she won't pester him. She'll just try to find another grain merchant as soon as possible. There will always be one or two merchants who have some conscience.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Dong Heqing quickly smiled and grabbed her sleeve: "Mrs. Lu, don't be in such a hurry, have another cup of tea."

"This matter is of utmost importance. Although my surname is Dong, I am from the Dong family. Now my eldest brother is in charge. I need to go home and discuss this important matter with my eldest brother and sister-in-law."

"But don't worry, Madam. My elder brother and sister-in-law are kind-hearted people. If I persuade them again, they will probably be willing to convince some grain merchants they know to sell their grain at a low price."

Hearing Dong Heqing's words, it seemed there was a turning point, and Lu Mingzhao quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Madam Dong. I hope this matter can be resolved as soon as possible."

Dong Heqing laughed and said, "With the waterways blocked, our caravan can only travel by land. Now, the refugees are blocking the road, which is a problem for us too. Who wouldn't want this resolved as soon as possible?"

"If Madam Lu could persuade a few more families to donate a batch of grain for disaster relief, it would be a truly wonderful thing."

After leaving the Xu residence, Lu Mingzhao went to Yunding Manor. She originally intended to make use of Prince Wei's connections once more.

But strangely, Wei Wang did not appear.

Wen Yu was the person who greeted her.

After listening to Lu Mingzhao's words, Wen Yu only thought for a moment before agreeing immediately.

Lu Mingzhao was surprised that Princess Wenyu was so straightforward.

Princess Wenyu smiled and said, "Xuanzhou has been busy these days, so he hasn't been able to come see you. But he told me that if you need any help, I should do my best to help."

Lu Mingzhao was stunned, and his feelings instantly became complicated.

After a long pause, she couldn't help but ask softly, "His Highness Prince Wei... is he alright?"

Princess Wenyu was slightly taken aback, then smiled helplessly: "You know."

Lu Mingzhao: "These last two times I saw His Highness Prince Wei, I noticed he had become increasingly thin, and I couldn't help but notice it."

"What illness does His Highness have?"

Wen Yu slowly lowered his eyes.

"He forbids me to say, and I can't tell you either. I hope you'll keep your mouth shut, after all... Xuanzhou has only seen you these past few days."

"If you don't tell, no one will know."

Lu Mingzhao did not ask any further questions.

Li Xuanzhou was the emperor's nephew, and the late Prince Xianwei had died saving the emperor, so the emperor could not possibly not value him.

However, Li Xuanzhou is still suffering from a serious illness, which shows that even the emperor who has the whole country is powerless to help him.

Even if she found out, what could she do?

Lu Mingzhao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

The meeting between the two was unpleasant, so she always found Li Xuanzhou very annoying.

But Li Xuanzhou gives the impression that he will remain annoying forever.

Lu Mingzhao couldn't imagine that he would disappear from the world.

Suddenly, Lu Mingzhao remembered something and looked at Princess Wenyu: "Then why did His Highness ask me about the letter in the first place...?"

Princess Wenyu nodded: "That's right."

She met Lu Mingzhao's gaze, her eyes filled with complex emotions: "It was you who wrote him a letter."

"You said you knew he was seriously ill and that you had medicine that could save his life, but only on the condition that he personally come to see you and help you succeed."

"That's why I gave up everything in my fiefdom and brought my family back to the capital. But after several encounters, I discovered that you had no memory of that period at all."

"Xuanzhou and I have spent a lot of time with you, and after finding out about your previous reputation... it took me a long time to believe that you really are not the same person you were before."

Lu Mingzhao had long guessed that the time-traveling woman had written a letter to Prince Wei before she left, but he never expected it to be like this.

"I really didn't know about this, but if I had the chance to see my 'former self,' I would try to find a way."

Lu Mingzhao made a solemn promise.

Princess Wenyu thought she was joking and didn't take it to heart: "Actually, Xuanzhou has been very happy these days, especially after meeting you. At least he has a lot more vitality."

"We were just trying it out anyway, so you don't need to blame yourself."

Princess Wenyu didn't understand what she meant, but Lu Mingzhao had already made up her mind.

After she returned, Li Xuanzhou really helped her a lot, but she hardly gave him anything in return.

The woman who transmigrated has many secrets, and Lu Mingzhao thinks that she might really have the ability to cure Li Xuanzhou.

Lu Mingzhao will get Chu Yuan'er's life sooner or later. When that happens, she will definitely find out where the time-traveling woman came from and what abilities she has.

After bidding farewell to Princess Wenyu, she went to see several grain merchants.

After a long day of work, I had just returned home when a servant rushed in, panicked, to report: "Madam, the eldest mistress just returned from her parents' home, and... and she's started bleeding!"

Lu Mingzhao's vision went black, and she almost collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, Zhou Ming'an rushed over as soon as she returned to the mansion. When she learned of the news, Zhou Ming'an was right beside her and caught her.

"Mother, don't rush, let's go see my sister-in-law first!"

When Lu Mingzhao arrived at Lanfang Pavilion, he saw servants carrying basins of hot water inside and basins of bloody water out.

"Have you gone to fetch the imperial physician?"

"Reporting to Madam, the Second Master received the news and immediately sent someone with a token to invite them."

Lu Mingzhao took a deep breath and asked through gritted teeth, "What happened? Why did you suddenly start bleeding?"
