Lu Yanzhao took a sip of tea after sitting down, looked up at Li Cheng and said, "Sister Cheng, will you come back to the city with me tomorrow?"

Li Cheng raised his eyebrows: "Do you think the Eighth Prince will turn around and take revenge?"

Lu Yanzhao said: "I'm more worried about the third prince than the eighth prince. It doesn't matter if he comes tomorrow, there's no need to worry, but if you do something secretly, you can't guard against it. Even if I know you have the ability to protect yourself, I still can't worry."

Li Cheng originally wanted to say that no matter what the secret was, when he came to her, he just went on a killing spree.But Lu Yanzhao's last words made her heart warm.Four simple words are worth a thousand words, just like in the middle of the night, knowing that she was strong enough to protect herself, he still ran out of the city just to take a look at her.

"I'll go to the kitchen and make you some supper. You can eat early and rest for a while. I'll go back to Beijing with you tomorrow morning."

The corners of Lu Yanzhao's mouth curved up, and his eyes became softer. "Okay, I'll light a fire for you."

In the middle of the night, the two of them went to the kitchen to be busy, and alerted the eunuch Li and others who had already rested. They got up to check, and were surprised to see Lu Yanzhao, but thinking of his purpose, they secretly thought that the Marquis really cared about Miss Li.The three smiled and were about to leave without disturbing the two of them, when Li Cheng casually reminded them to return to Beijing early tomorrow morning.

Internal Supervisor Li was not surprised. Even if Li Cheng did not return to Beijing, he planned to persuade Li Cheng and send a letter back to report the entire conflict to the palace.

As soon as the palace door opened the next day, the Eighth Prince had someone carry him into the palace to cry to Empress Zhang. He exaggerated his eight-point injury into ten points.

When Empress Zhang saw her son's miserable condition, she was both sad and angry. Her little son had not come easily, so she loved him very much.While shedding tears, Empress Zhang hated both Marquis Dingguo and Li Cheng. She hurriedly asked the imperial doctor to come to treat her youngest son, and also sent people to the front hall to wait for the third prince to go to court.

Lu Yanzhao left the city at the moment when the city gate was about to close, while the eighth prince called the city gate open from outside and entered the city at midnight, so many mansions got the news this morning.Moreover, the Eighth Prince was injured, which led to more speculations.

The third prince's forehead started to beat when he heard the courtiers talking. What happened to the eighth brother?Thinking of what my eighth brother proposed not long ago, I sighed in my heart.I told my mother and concubine to restrain my eighth brother's temper, but now this behavior will only hinder him.

It's really not enough to succeed.

After the emperor announced his resignation, the third prince saw Marquis Dingguo striding out. He was busy calling for people behind him. He said hello and apologized in advance, and laid out his position. With so many courtiers watching, Dingguo Mr. Hou won't make a fool of himself in front of the palace, right?

However, Marquis Dingguo stopped, turned to look at him coldly, then turned around and strode away.

As a result, the courtiers could not help but speculate on what happened to the eighth prince and Marquis Dingguo, which actually caused Marquis Dingguo to ignore the third prince.

The people ordered by An Neijian were guarding outside. As soon as they saw the third prince appearing, they hurried over and told the whole story truthfully. They did not dare to hide anything. The third prince's face suddenly looked worried because of the Marquis Dingguo. When he collapsed, he looked up and saw people from his mother's palace walking towards him.

How could the movements in the court be hidden from Emperor Changde's ears? When he discovered something was wrong between Marquis Dingguo and the third prince, he asked Zuo An to find out what happened. Lu Yanzhao understood that, except for the sixth prince, he had always He doesn't like to associate with princes, but he won't take the initiative to make enemies with them.

As a result, as soon as Zuo An came out, he heard the news that the eighth prince had entered the palace injured early in the morning, so he sent someone to the queen to ask if she knew anything about it.Although the queen left the affairs of the inner palace to several concubines, no big or small thing that happened in the palace could escape the eyes and ears of the queen.Moreover, the queen knew more details than anyone else in the palace.

Zuo An was stunned after hearing the whole story and didn't know what to say. He hurried back to report to His Majesty, not daring to hide anything.

If you want to say why the queen knew such details, it must be attributed to the sixth prince. The sixth prince did not fall in love with the court, and Emperor Changde turned a blind eye and allowed him to do whatever he wanted.

Early in the morning, the Sixth Prince heard the news from his servants and hurried to Dingguo Hou Mansion.After listening to the explanation of the cause and effect, Supervisor Li jumped to his feet and cursed angrily, then turned around and went to the palace to complain.

Of course, he would not go to the emperor to complain. Complaining also requires skill. Taking advantage of the opportunity that the eighth prince could not see the emperor today, he informed Shang Empress about the matter, and Shang Empress immediately went to see the empress.

After the Sixth Prince came out of the palace, he went directly to Dingguo Hou Mansion to wait.

The sixth prince then told Li Cheng what he had done in the palace. Li Cheng asked him why he told the queen?

The sixth prince curled his lips and said: "When the eldest brother, the fourth brother, and the fifth brother were in court, I, the third brother, basically had no connections or influence. After the troubles of those princes, I gradually Show yourself to others.”

"Actually, it wasn't like this originally. The third emperor brother was actually very favored back then, but he couldn't compare to the second emperor brother. It's just that the second emperor brother left early, and the queen was hit hard and bedridden. At that time, I didn't know that the third prince ran to the queen. What she said made the queen furious. Even Zhang Empress went to His Majesty to cry and beg, but there was nothing she could do. In the end, Zhang Empress and the Third Emperor Brother were punished together. From then on, Zhang Empress and the Third Emperor Brother lived in the palace. I was really sad for a while. I just don’t know what means Zhang Empress used to get pregnant with the Eighth Emperor Brother, and it was precisely because of this that she got pregnant again. So Zhang Empress doted on the Eighth Emperor Brother very much, maybe because she felt that the Eighth Emperor Brother had given her to him. She must have brought about a turn of events! However, after her recovery, Empress Zhang changed her temper and became much calmer."

Li Cheng thought for a moment and asked, "What is Your Majesty's attitude toward the third prince now?"

Li Cheng originally didn't care who became the emperor in this world, but not now. Not to mention that this matter involves two princes, will the emperor's father protect his shortcomings?It was even more because Li Cheng now cared more about Lu Yanzhao than he expected.

If the third prince has a chance to ascend the throne, then as a minister, Lu Yanzhao is afraid that old scores will be turned over.

Li Cheng moved his fingers. It seemed that none of the adult princes were particularly outstanding. He raised his eyes and looked at the person in front of him. He was a very perceptive person, but he had an attitude of avoiding the throne. .

The Sixth Prince listened to Li Cheng's question and said seriously: "Brother Three Emperors has now revised two books and gained some reputation among the officials. My father also praised him for his calm temperament and asked us younger brothers to follow suit. Now my father The emperor's thoughts are getting deeper and deeper, and there are some things that I can't understand or guess." The sixth prince carefully looked around as if something suddenly occurred to him, then he leaned closer and asked in a low voice: "How is my father's physical condition?"
