Chapter 1002: Chapter 645: Lord Lu was caught by the guards, announcing important matters

Song Top Scholar’s warm eyes glanced at the candied haw in front of him, then turned to look at Tao Minmin, only to see her cheeks puffed and her eyes smiling with glee.

Eating from the same skewer of candied haw on the street was indeed a test of public opinion.

Song Top Scholar hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth to bite into the top candied haw, his cheeks immediately puffing up.

Seeing this, Tao Minmin couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "How does it taste?"

Chewing slowly and deliberately, Song Top Scholar replied, "Very sweet... and quite sour too."

Tao Minmin said, "The Crown Princess says, the feeling of being in love is like eating candied haw."

Song Top Scholar, who had never been in love, didn’t understand the meaning of these words.

"Is that so?"

Tao Minmin nodded, then added, "It’s also like eating ice cream."

Song Top Scholar had the fortune to taste ice cream before, but still didn’t understand what falling in love and the taste of ice cream had in common?

Tao Minmin knew he didn’t understand and said with a smile, "The wedding date is near, you must be very busy, let’s go back."

Song Top Scholar nodded, "Okay."

Lu Zhaoyan knew that Weichi was avoiding him, but for the life of him, he couldn’t figure out why Weichi would do such a thing.

If he got drunk, he didn’t have the habit of speaking recklessly; instead, he would just snore loudly in deep sleep.

In order to catch Weichi and ask for a clear explanation, Lu Zhaoyan spent the entire day staying in the East Palace today.

Of course, Xiao Jinyan wouldn’t let go of free labor, assigning all the tasks he could to Lu Zhaoyan.

Lu Zhaoyan not being a first-time victim of Xiao Jinyan using him as free labor, felt that it was necessary to make a small request.

He looked up at Xiao Jinyan with a smile, "Your Highness."

Xiao Jinyan lifted his eyes to look at him, "What is it?"

Lu Zhaoyan thought for a moment, then boldly said, "Your Highness, your subordinate has been working here for a whole day, and I have a small request."

...

Xiao Jinyan replied, "Let’s hear it."

Lu Zhaoyan said, "Your Highness, I haven’t seen Guard Weichi for some time now..."

Xiao Jinyan spoke thoughtfully, "So you’re missing Weichi, I’ll have him come over."

Lu Zhaoyan hurriedly explained, "No, Your Highness, it’s not that your subordinate misses Guard Weichi, but there was a small misunderstanding between myself and Guard Weichi not long ago."

He looked at Xiao Jinyan with expectation, "Your Highness understands, right?"

Xiao Jinyan raised an eyebrow, "I understand, this palace will arrange it for you."

Lu Zhaoyan breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I thank Your Highness very much."

Xiao Jinyan said, "Lord Lu is too polite."

After Lu Zhaoyan finished his tasks at hand, Xiao Jinyan directed him to go to the Plum Garden, which he did without any objections.

The Plum Garden was not far from the study, just a short walk away.

Xiao Jinyan called Qin Xiao over, "Tell Weichi to go to the Plum Garden."

"Your subordinate obeys," Qin Xiao hurried off to find Weichi.

At this time, Weichi had just returned from outside, only to be stopped by Qin Xiao, "Brother, the master wants you in the Plum Garden."

"Okay, I’ll go right now," Guard Weichi hurried to the Plum Garden.

Upon arriving at the Plum Garden, he was perplexed, what did His Highness want him to do there?

While Weichi was pondering, he suddenly noticed another person lurking in the Plum Garden, clearly up to no good, sneaking his way over here.

Thankfully, he knew kung fu and could hear the faint noises ordinary people couldn’t pick up on.

As the person approached, Weichi suddenly grabbed their shoulder, seized their arm, and with a twist, pinned them against the wall.

The series of movements were executed swiftly, accurately, and ruthlessly.

But the next second, a cry of pain erupted, "Ah!!! It hurts so much, it hurts!!!"

Weichi’s heart skipped a beat, recognizing the voice as familiar.

Looking down at the man he pinned against the wall, he saw that it was too dim to make out his face.

He tentatively called out, "Who are you??"

Lu Zhaoyan, a civil official, in pain, managed to gasp out, "It’s me, it’s me, Brother Weichi, it’s me."

Weichi recognized the voice clearly now, "Lord Lu?"

Once he realized who it was, he quickly released Lu Zhaoyan.

Lu Zhaoyan was trembling from the pain, his legs gave way and he began to slide down.

Weichi, with quick reflexes, supported his arms and pulled him back up.

Despite Lu Zhaoyan’s slender appearance, he still had some heft to him.

"You’re a civil official, what were you thinking attempting a sneak attack? Now look, your hand won’t recover for at least ten days."

Lu Zhaoyan looked wronged, "I wasn’t attempting a sneak attack?"

Weichi retorted, "If it wasn’t a sneak attack, why were you sneaking up on me? I wouldn’t have mistaken you for a bad guy otherwise."
