After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle
Chapter 239 Mutiny
Fu Guiyun used himself as bait to tie down all the pirates, and the food and fodder escorted by Lu Linxue arrived at Wengcheng smoothly.
He ordered people to send food and fodder to the army, but he heard from the people who came back that there had been frequent personnel transfers in the army recently. He also heard some rumors from the army that Prince Zhong intended to collude with Chen Lin to rebel.
Lu Linxue found it very funny. Any of the descendants of the Lu family could rebel except the fourth brother. If he had such an intention, the entire Jiangzuo would have been in chaos long ago.
On the way to pay a visit to the emperor's uncle, he discovered Chu Huaixi leading several female servants acting stealthily and muttering something.
Seeing Lu Linxue, Chu Huaixi hurried away, fearing that he would run into her.
"stop."
Lu Linxue strode forward, blocked her way, and kept examining her: "Miss Huaixi, why are you hiding from me?"
"Princess, you are joking. Why would I hide from you?" Chu Huaixi said with a forced smile.
Lu Linxue always felt that she was hiding something. She also thought that it had been a long time since she entered Weng City, but she still hadn't seen the prince. Even Lu Yan and Lu Hui, who were beside him, were not in the army. It was really strange.
The prince is suspicious by nature. If he believed these rumors, the world of Daning would be in chaos.
"I ask you, where is the prince?" Lu Linxue asked anxiously.
Chu Huaixi pretended to shake her head: "I am a humble servant, so how can I ask about the whereabouts of the prince?"
"Miss Huaixi is really humble."
Lu Linxue sneered: "It is true that you are of humble status, but I don't believe you don't know the whereabouts of the prince."
As soon as he finished speaking, he called the soldiers over and said sternly, "If you don't tell the truth today, you will be beaten to death."
Chu Huaixi looked calm, without the slightest fear: "Princess, even if you beat me to death today, I have only one thing to say to you: I really don't know."
"I'll ask you again, who spread the news of Prince Zhong's rebellion?"
Lu Linxue vaguely felt that this person had no good intentions in coming to the front line with the prince this time, and was afraid that she was bewitching the prince.
Chu Huaixi pursed her lips and smiled: "The princess's questions are getting weirder. How can a weak woman like me know what's going on in the army? I'm just a maidservant of the prince. Why doesn't the princess go to the army to look for clues when investigating a case, but instead comes here to embarrass me?"
Chu Huaixi glanced at her with deep eyes, and smiled with a hint of playfulness: "I heard that Prince Zhong is coming back from Jinyang. If the princess really has doubts, she should think about how to resolve this conflict. The princess should understand the prince's temper. He has always been vigorous and resolute. If he has made up his mind, he must achieve his goal."
Lu Linxue felt that this person was very strange today, and if the prince was really determined to get rid of the fourth brother, then he should have tried to keep the matter secret instead of letting such rumors spread and make the fourth brother on guard.
Could it be that Chu Huaixi is up to something?
Is she trying to help the fourth brother?
Lu Linxue half-closed her eyes and looked at her closely, not knowing what she was planning.
But the prince's actions must be stopped at all costs.
Thinking of this, she was too lazy to argue with Chu Huaixi anymore and hurried to her uncle's temporary palace.
Lu Chen has been feeling increasingly sick recently, and the army is running low on food and fodder. Upon learning that his daughter-in-law asked Zhaoyang to deliver food and fodder, he felt much more refreshed and full of energy.
He mustered up all his strength, asked the palace servants to help him put on casual clothes, and immediately summoned Lu Linxue.
Seeing that her uncle, whom she had not seen for a long time, had lost a lot of weight and was just skin and bones, Lu Linxue felt very distressed: "The prince is in charge of military affairs at the front line. Your Majesty should pay more attention to the emperor's health. Only in this way can we ensure the eternal stability of our Daning country."
"I'm fine."
There was no trace of change on Lu Chen's face, and he pretended to be as lively as usual: "Zhaoyang, you came just in time this time and helped me out of my urgent need."
"It's all thanks to the Crown Princess."
Lu Linxue looked humble and replied very pertinently: "If my niece had not used herself as bait to hold back the pirates, it would not have been so easy for her to deliver the food."
"Yun'er went to hold back the pirates by herself?"
Lu Chen's expression suddenly became extremely complicated, and he couldn't help but cough a few times: "This silly girl, why does she always want to take the lead in everything? Now the safety of the entire Liyang depends on her alone, what should we do if she makes a mistake?"
"The situation was urgent at the time, and the Queen had made careful arrangements, so it was difficult for my niece to persuade her."
Lu Linxue comforted him, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Princess Zhong has sent a letter to inform you that the Crown Princess not only successfully transported the Ye family's grain to Liyang, but also found You Dian and the lost 200,000 shi of grain. Even Hu Yesheng was eliminated by the Crown Princess. From now on, our Daning will only have better weather and better harvests."
Lu Chen nodded repeatedly with great satisfaction: "Yun'er is really able to constantly surprise people. Her marriage into our Lu family is also a blessing accumulated by our Lu family for generations."
Thinking about how the prince had been missing lately, he suddenly felt inexplicably angry.
Glancing at Lu Bing, he immediately ordered, "That evil creature has been avoiding me since he came back from Shucheng. It just so happens that Zhaoyang has come to Wengcheng. Send someone to prepare a family banquet and ask the prince to come over so that the family can reunite."
Lu Bing frowned: "The prince doesn't seem to be in Wengcheng recently."
"Where else did he go if he wasn't in Wengcheng?"
Lu Chen said angrily: "Are you planning to go fight Song Weizhao yourself?"
Lu Bing had a bitter face and didn't know how to answer.
Lu Linxue could only say tactfully: "I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Zhong will be back from Jinyang soon. My niece came back from the army and found that there were frequent personnel changes in the army. Could it be that the Crown Prince went to welcome Prince Zhong?"
Lu Chen immediately realized that something was wrong. If they were just going to welcome Lin Zhi, why would they mobilize the army?
Could it be that this evil creature had evil intentions towards Lin Zhi?
The thing I was worried about finally happened.
"Zhaoyang, since you are here in Wengcheng, please do something for me."
Lu Linxue immediately accepted the order: "Your Majesty, please give your orders. I will do my best and complete the mission until my death."
Lu Chen pondered and said, "I want you to go to Jiurong City in person and convey an order for me to order Prince Li to lead his troops to Weng City to discuss the attack on Dayan."
Lu Linxue guessed his hidden meaning, that he wanted to invite his brother to come and restrain the prince.
But the trip back and forth will take a lot of time, and I’m afraid it will be too late.
"Your Majesty, I am worried..."
"No need to say more."
Lu Chen urged, "You should go quickly. Even if the sky collapses, I will still hold it up."
Hearing this, Lu Linxue had no choice but to accept the order. After the eunuch drafted the imperial edict, she led the imperial envoy and rushed to Jiurong City without delay.
Seeing Princess Zhaoyang leaving in a hurry, Lu Bing was still worried: "Your Majesty, the Lu family army has been transferred to the vicinity of Jinyang City by the Crown Prince. There are only 2,000 soldiers from the newly selected personal guards in the city. Letting Prince Li lead his troops here at this time may make the situation even more tense."
Lu Chen covered his mouth tightly with a handkerchief and coughed violently. He was extremely anxious and couldn't hold it back. The hot blood kept rushing up and all of it came out of his mouth.
