Lu Rui nodded: "I was on official business at the time."

One sentence explained why he appeared in that alley dressed in black.

Xie Wenwan: "If I had known it was you, the Crown Prince, I would have pulled off your face towel. Because I was worried about getting into trouble, I didn't even dare to look at your face, and I always hid my face when feeding you medicine."

Lu Ruidao: "It is right to be cautious. It is better to do less than to do more."

Knowing that Lu Rui was the man in black, Xie Wenwan felt a lot more relaxed. After all, the two of them had lived and died together, so she said a little playfully.

"That's right, I've always been smart."

Seeing that Xie Wenwan was more relaxed, Lu Rui asked again: "Have you thought about it, should you refuse the marriage?"

Xie Wenwan thought for a while and said: "If I don't marry, can other girls from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion be allowed to marry into the Duke's Mansion?"

Lu Rui's face darkened: "Do you think the Zhongyong Hou Mansion has the right to be picky?"

Xie Wenwan smiled awkwardly: "Isn't this letting you choose, Prince? We are all willing to let you choose..."

Lu Rui said directly: "If the fourth girl is unwilling, then our marriage can be annulled."

Xie Wenwan knew that what Lu Rui meant was that if he didn’t marry him, he wouldn’t marry any other girl from the Xie family. This made it seem like he wouldn’t marry her. People who didn’t know better thought that Lu Rui liked her, but in fact he didn’t like half-moo.

Money has nothing to do with it. If he agrees to marry, it just gives Lu Rui a reason to get rid of the Xie family.

Yes, although I don’t know what happened between Lu Rui and Xie Wenrou, Xie Wenwan intuitively knows that Lu Rui doesn’t have much affection for Xie Wenrou, and is also dissatisfied with the Xie family. If they really have a good relationship, Wang and Zhongyong

The Hou family would not be so anxious to get angry, and if they could agree to marry Xie Wenrou again, this would probably be the last of their relationship.

If she took the initiative not to marry, it would probably be in line with Lu Rui's wishes.

Although Xie Wenwan wanted to say loudly that this girl really did not want to marry, but once the marriage between the two families was cancelled, sooner or later the Zhongyong Hou Mansion would know that it was her who refused. Xie Wenwan did not believe that there were eternal secrets in this world. By then, Lu Rui would successfully get rid of Xie Wenwan.

It is not cost-effective no matter how you think about it.

Moreover, I had a life-long friendship with Lu Rui yesterday. If I marry him in the future, even if Lu Rui doesn't want to see me anymore, he will still give me some respectability points.

Thinking of this, Xie Wenwan smiled.

"Your Majesty, you are so outstanding, why wouldn't Wen Wan be unwilling?"

Lu Rui looked at Xie Wenwan's bright eyes and saw that he had some idea at first glance, but he didn't mind. Just as Xie Wenwan thought, since she saved him yesterday, as long as it was not excessive, he would give Xie Wenwan the respect and dignity she deserved.

"Since you are willing, I will arrange the next thing. Since you are the future Crown Princess, and you helped me yesterday, if you encounter the same situation as yesterday in the future, you can ask me for a favor."

Xie Wenwan was overjoyed when she heard that the prince's favor was of great use, and she would naturally not refuse it.

"Then thank you very much, Your Majesty. If there is any need in the future, I will definitely ask you for help, Your Majesty."

Lu Rui was very satisfied with Xie Wenwan when he saw that Xie Wenwan was neither humble nor overbearing in his words and deeds, and was very classy. Thinking about how he was clearly poisoned yesterday but was fine in the end, Lu Rui couldn't help but ask.

"After I fell into coma yesterday, what medicine did you use to detoxify me?"

After learning that the man in black was Lu Rui, Xie Wenwan knew that he would ask sooner or later, so she answered truthfully.

"I brought detoxification pills with me to help you detoxify."

"Your antidote pills are very effective. Can you tell me where to buy them?"

Xie Wenwan thought to herself, nonsense, how could it be bad? I prepared it myself, using medicinal materials and spring water in the space. The key formula for preparing the medicine has been tested for thousands of years.

"This medicine is not available outside. A doctor I know prepared it himself. If you need it, I can buy it for you. But it is quite expensive. A small bottle costs hundreds of taels of silver."

"Price is not a problem..." In fact, one hundred taels is not expensive for Lu Rui.

After hearing this, Xie Wenwan was elated: "If price is not an issue, then it won't be an issue at all."

Seeing Xie Wenwan's smiling face, Lu Rui was suddenly worried, could such a moody and angry person really be a good princess?

Xie Wenwan suddenly thought that she had other medicines that she could sell to Lu Rui. In fact, Xie Wenwan had originally thought about opening a pharmacy in Daqing and making some patent medicines for sale.

But there is no separate pharmacy in Daqing. Generally, pharmacy and medical clinic are integrated. Xie Wenwan did not find a suitable doctor. Secondly, even if there was a candidate, it would be difficult to open a pharmacy in Shengjing without anyone in the court. Finally,

Xie Wenwan gave up and opened a food store instead.

But with Lu Rui, Xie Wenwan felt that she had opened the door to hope.

"Your Majesty, there are other medicines, do you need them?"

Unexpectedly, Xie Wenwan asked this, Lu Rui raised his eyebrows: "What kind of medicine?"

Xie Wenwan: "There are pain relievers, hemostasis, anti-inflammatory and fever reducers. They are all ready-made medicines. They are especially suitable for use when you are away from home, sick or injured and cannot seek medical treatment in time."

Seeing Xie Wenwan's lively and positive look, Lu Rui was a little confused. Is this what a boudoir woman is like?

Xie Wenwan knew that Lu Rui doubted her, so she let him look at her generously and had no intention of hiding it. Firstly, she wanted to use Lu Rui's power, and secondly, if she really wanted to get married to Lu Rui in the future, she would show her true feelings in a timely manner.

If Lu Rui can't accept it, he will naturally terminate the engagement. Lu Rui took the initiative to terminate the engagement. Even if the Zhongyong Hou Mansion is to blame, it cannot be entirely blamed on himself.

"It seems that you like your friend very much and want to help her sell the medicine?"

Xie Wenwan nodded and said with regret: "Your Majesty, you are right, I really want to help my friend."

"Of course, it's not for the money, but because my friend has amazing pharmaceutical skills. It's no exaggeration to say that if she hadn't been born at the right time, she would have become a master. I really don't want her talents to be covered up.

I also hope that the medicine she created will be known to more people so that it can benefit more people. I really want to help her out of love for talents."

As she spoke, Xie Wenwan took out a few medicine bottles from her purse and put them on the table.

"If the prince doesn't believe it, you can have someone try it. These three medicine bottles contain anesthetics, detoxification pills and styptic powder respectively. After trying it, the prince will know that I am not telling lies."

Lu Rui picked up the bottle containing the anesthetic.

"How to use this anesthetic?"

Xie Wenwan: "This is a powdery contact anesthetic. It needs to be in contact with the body's skin. It is most effective when applied on knives or arrows. However, even if there are no wounds on the body, direct contact with the skin will make people lose consciousness.

, it’s just that the efficacy of the medicine is different.”

After hearing this, Lu Rui glanced at Xie Wenwan meaningfully. No matter how I heard it, I felt that this medicine was not suitable for ordinary people, but it was suitable for those who licked blood from the edge of a knife, especially the military.

In fact, this is what Xie Wenwan meant. No matter how much medicine ordinary people buy, there is a limit. Only in the military is the real big business. Not to mention the large quantity, the frequency of use is still high.

"I will have someone test the effect of the medicine you gave me. If it is as good as you say, I will ask your friend to buy the medicine."
