Daming Wuhou

Lu Changting almost listened to the entire conversation with a cold face.

At the beginning, Mrs. Lu seemed to be full of resentment and was eager to vent, but later on, Mrs. Lu suddenly lost the desire to speak, and became completely silent, leaving only one sentence to Mrs. Lu: "If you want me to die, then you will die." Just wait..." The tone in his tone was rare contempt, which was quite different from Lu's image in the past.

Lu Changting's heart was inexplicably cold, and he always felt that it would not be good to follow the development momentum of the Lu family...

The younger aunt was enraged, she pushed away the stool and stood up: "The Crown Princess is looking for death, will she drag us to die together?"

Mrs. Lu tugged at her, and persuaded bitterly: "Let's go, let's go... Don't let the crown prince hear the movement."

When the aunt heard these words, she had some scruples, shut her mouth in a hurry, then turned around and walked out, when she was about to reach the screen, she turned back in a hurry to support Mrs. Lu.In the eyes of outsiders, she is a clever concubine who respects her main wife.

Lu Changting shook his head secretly, turned around and walked away.

Zhu Biao waited outside and was really anxious. When Lu Changting came out, he immediately stood up and called "Changting" unconsciously.Immediately Zhu Biao realized his gaffe, so he quickly changed his words: "Do you feel thirsty?"

Of course Lu Changting would not see through Zhu Biao's cover-up, he stepped forward and nodded, took the teacup from Zhu Biao's hand, and thanked him.

"How?" Zhu Biao asked.

Lu Changting shook his head: "Mrs. Lu is coming out soon." After speaking, he refused to speak again.

Although Zhu Biao was worried, he also knew the reason not to urge Lu Changting, so he sat back and waited for Mrs. Lu and her party to come out.

Soon, Mrs. Lu was helped out by her aunt. She looked red-eyed and haggard.

Lu Changting watched this scene coldly, without interrupting.

In Zhu Biao's view, Mrs. Lu's grief and grief are the same as his, so it is inevitable that there will be a little sympathy, and he will treat Mrs. Lu with more respect and guilt.But Lu Changting knew very well in his heart that this Mrs. Lu was really a soft knife for killing people.As a mother, her inaction in the face of her daughter's suffering is already a great mistake, but she can still stand on the perspective of three obediences and four virtues, teaching her daughter to endure the pain, and now she is here to persuade her daughter to die for the Lu family.

How can she bear it?

Lu Changting had to speculate conspiratorially.

Perhaps it is because the aunt is more favored in the Lu family. Compared with her daughter, Mrs. Lu cares more about whether she is doing well or not in the Lu family. She gave up her daughter's "righteous" move.

Lu Changting unconsciously thought of his parents...

If his parents were like this, it would be a good thing to lose him.

After sending the Lu family away, Zhu Biao couldn't hide his disappointment and turned around, saying: "With the Lu family coming to comfort her, I think she will feel better..."

Lu Changting almost laughed out loud, but he held back anyway.After all, he is not close to Zhu Biao, and it is not wise to expose the Lu family in front of Zhu Biao.If it was instigated by Emperor Hongwu, then he couldn't say it, otherwise Emperor Hongwu would take his anger on him.

So the expression on Lu Changting's face became a little weird.

Of course Zhu Biao didn't miss this point, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Lu Changting said, "I'll go alone this time."

Zhu Biao thought for a while, then nodded: "Go to Changting, I... my fourth brother and I will wait for you outside."

Lu Changting walked in that direction again without looking back.

After Lu Changting walked around the screen, he saw Mrs. Lu.

Lying on the bed, Mrs. Lu didn't give Lu Changting an extra look even though she heard footsteps.

"Don't you want to know who caused you to become like this?" Lu Changting asked in a low voice.His voice is beautiful, and he can easily confuse people.

But Mrs. Lu was unmoved at all.

Lu Changting couldn't help but sighed softly in his heart, Mrs. Lu's brain and cognition are not sober at all, and she was able to talk to Mrs. Lu just now, it was already something she had hidden in her heart for a long time and finally couldn't help bursting out.

But after removing the accident just now, she no longer had the desire to talk to the outside world.

Lu Changting had no choice but to go out.

"How?" Zhu Biao was the first to greet him again.

Lu Changting shook his head, and before he could speak, Zhu Biao had an expression as if struck by lightning: "There is no cure?"

Lu Changting thought about Lu's appearance, isn't it a little hopeless?It would be good if there is someone to cooperate with, but the Piansheng Lu family is not willing to cooperate at all now.Feng Shui methods are useful, but one's desire to survive is more important.

Lu Changting opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Zhu Di suddenly squeezed his hand lightly from behind, and then he heard Zhu Di say, "Brother, don't be too sad, the body is the most important thing."

Lu Changting's words were naturally swallowed when he got to his lips, and he turned his head to look at Zhu Di. There was no superfluous expression on Zhu Di's face, and he looked very natural.But Lu Changting knew that Zhu Di was going downhill, directly blocking the possibility of the prince asking him to save the Lu family.

Maybe Zhu Di did it for him, or maybe he had a deeper intention.Lu Changting suppressed the light in his eyes, and chose not to speak again.

Seeing Lu Changting's behavior like this, Zhu Biao's complexion became paler.

"Go back, you go back and rest..." Zhu Biao sighed lightly, and sat back in his seat, with a hint of bewilderment on his face.He tried his best to cover it up, but finally came to this point...

Lu Changting was quite sympathetic, but when he saw the expression on Zhu Di's face, he found that Zhu Di's eyes were indifferent. Obviously, Zhu Biao, Lu's family, and even Zhu Yunwen, whoever died, lived and died, and Zhu Di didn't care about their safety in the eyes.

Lu Changting pursed his lips, and said, "Prince take care, my fourth brother and I will leave first." After speaking, Lu Changting couldn't help but said: "If there are other abnormalities, the prince will send someone to tell me." Even if he is not the Crown Princess Lu, Lu Changting has to find out the villain behind it to be at ease.

Zhu Biao waved his hand and signaled the palace servants to send them outside the hall.

After walking outside the hall, there was no one following Lu Changting and Zhu Di.Only then did Zhu Di whisper, "Changting thinks I'm cold?"

Lu Changting shook his head.After all, he doesn't know where his elbows are...

Zhu Di held Lu Changting's hand, and said in a low voice: "Changting, tell me first, Mrs. Lu said something when she went in. I saw that your expression was not right when you came out."

Lu Changting didn't hide anything, he even told Zhu Di what Mrs. Lu and Aunt Lu said.

Zhu Di's face remained unchanged, without any hint of shock, as if he had expected this result a long time ago.

"The prince was not only educated by the empress mother, but also by the emperor's father. He understands the hardships of the people and can understand the difficulties of the courtiers. But because of the different educations of the two, besides the superficial kindness and benevolence, he also has a sense of universal love. bug."

Lu Changting heard Zhu Di finish the sentence slowly.

"Jianai?"

"He loves everything that is brought to him. When the Crown Princess Lu married him, he assumed the responsibility of a husband and respected Lu a lot. After the second concubine Liu entered the East Palace, he also loved him very much. He is impartial, never neglected at all. There are also countless concubines, who may not be able to occupy a place in front of the prince, but they can always win the prince a good face. The prince has inherited the kindness of the queen mother, so he has become loved by everyone." Zhu Di paused, and then said: "But he also inherited the cruelty of his father, perhaps the crown prince himself didn't realize it. In his opinion, it is normal to have so many wives and concubines."

"If you say why the princess died at the hands of the prince, it must be at the hands of the prince." Zhu Di concluded the conclusion with a blank expression.

Lu Changting couldn't help being silent.The princess was really ruined by his fraternity!

He seems to treat everyone equally, but in fact his wives and concubines have different temperaments.Lu's forbearance, Liu's publicity, Lu's suffered a lot in Lu's family, and was overwhelmed by others after entering the East Palace.The prince treats her well, so even if she is sick, she only sees the prince, but the prince treats others well, so Lu Shi was stimulated, and under the influence of feng shui, he became even more ill...

In this comparison, although the prince Zhu Biao has a noble and benevolent character, he is not as good as Emperor Hongwu. At least Emperor Hongwu strongly defended the status and dignity of Empress Ma.Although this is just pulling out the tall from the dwarf.When it comes to being an infatuated and good man, no one can be a good man!

Even the Ming Chengzu in history only had a son with Empress Xu in his life, but he still had concubines Zhang and Wang... Thinking of this, Lu Changting couldn't help but cast a chilling glance at Zhu Di.

Originally, Zhu Biao said it well, but Zhu Di never imagined that Lu Changting would cast such a look at him.

"Changting...is he suspicious of me too?" Zhu Di tightened his grip on his hand, and his voice became deeper, without the indifference just now.

"Of course I believe you." Lu Changting said without thinking.Although he inevitably thought about it, would Zhu Di, who was standing in front of him at this time, definitely act like Ming Chengzu in history?With Zhu Biao as an example, Zhu Di may not necessarily become like that.

As long as he is not 100% sure of Zhu Di's love, Lu Changting will choose to believe him.

Anyway, his elbow turned inward more and more.

Zhu Di was quite flattered, he stood there, unable to turn around from the shock for a while.

"... Changting." After a long while, Zhu Di squeezed out two words from his throat.

Lu Changting's hands were held so tightly that he felt like he couldn't breathe from his neck.

"Fourth brother." Lu Changting hurriedly broke away, and when he raised his head to meet Zhu Di's eyes, Lu Changting was slightly stunned.

Zhu Di's eyes are deep, and it looks like those eyes are like deep ravines. When you accidentally walk past, you will unconsciously sink into the deep ravines.But at this moment, what else is in his eyes?

It seemed like excitement, like forbearance... But when Lu Changting looked carefully again, he returned to calmness, as if no emotion had ever appeared.

The dignified atmosphere just now disappeared, and Zhu Di pulled the corner of his mouth into a faint smile: "It is enough for Changting to believe in me."

After the words fell, Zhu Di started to walk forward.

Lu Changting pursed his lips and thought to himself, who doesn't lose their mind when they are in love?There must be someone who has enough trust... As for the future, that's the future, and it's out of my control right now.Of course, he wouldn't want Zhu Di to become emperor again just because of that illusory suspicion.

Lu Changting followed Zhu Di for a long distance, when a maid on the way couldn't hide her surprised gaze and glanced at them.It was only then that Lu Changting remembered that he and Zhu Di were still holding hands!

"Fourth brother?" Lu Changting couldn't help reminding in a low voice.

Zhu Di looked calm: "It's okay." After saying that, he squeezed the back of his hand.

Seeing their calm expressions, the maid immediately suppressed the surprise in her eyes.

After walking far away, Lu Changting heard Zhu Di's voice again: "Don't worry, no one will think about that."

Lu Changting also knows the truth of being dark under the lights, and they are also open-minded, so no one can think of the relationship between them.This way they can also be generous with intimacy without avoiding others.After all, it is really not easy to truly have a secret underground love, and it also has greater risks.

Think about Zou Zhumo from before.

Lu Changting still didn't say much.

Zhu Di should be able to grasp the propriety.He wouldn't be so timid because of Zou Zhumo.

"Go back to the palace over there?" Lu Changting asked aloud.

"No, let's leave the palace and go back to Prince Yan's Mansion." Zhu Di was extremely unwilling to stay here with Lu Changting.

It's just that none of them expected that they barely reached the gate of the palace city and were stopped.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, you and Mr. Lu are not allowed to leave the palace today." The soldier guarding the city gate did not expect that he would be assigned to stop King Yan, so although he spoke forcefully, there was a bit of panic on his face color.

Although this is the emperor's order, it is not a good thing to offend the prince!

With such a keen mind, Lu Changting realized that this should be the order of Emperor Hongwu.

Lu Changting pulled Zhu Di back and said in a low voice, "Could it be that Zhu Yunqi hasn't been found yet?"

Zhu Di shook his head: "Not necessarily, maybe it's because something happened to the crown prince's East Palace, and the news is always blocked, and he doesn't want to let you and me out of the palace at this time..." Maybe it's simply not trusting enough.But Zhu Di didn't say that clearly.

Since he couldn't leave the palace, he had no choice but to go back and stay with peace of mind.

Zhu Di was not in a good mood, but Lu Changting was very open minded.If this matter is over, after Emperor Hongwu calms down, if he guesses correctly, Emperor Hongwu will only give him a higher reward at that time... Instead of worrying now, it is better to guess what Emperor Hongwu will give him reward.

Seeing that Zhu Di was not in high spirits, Lu Changting purposely shared his conjecture with Zhu Di.

Zhu Di smiled lowly: "What if his reward is to put Changting next to the prince? Changting also go?"

"Go." As soon as Lu Changting finished speaking, he was not surprised to see Zhu Di's darkened face instantly.

Lu Changting had no choice but to deliberately rub against Zhu Di's side, and said in a low voice, "Fourth brother, I went to be a spy by the prince's side. Although I was in the East Palace at that time, my heart was in the Yan Palace."

Zhu Di turned his anger into a smile, and couldn't help raising his hand to pat Lu Changting's head: "What nonsense?" After a short pause, Zhu Di said again: "What kind of spy, you must stop talking such nonsense in the future. I also don't want you to go to the Eastern Palace. But you are right in one sentence."

"what?"

Zhu Di squeezed his waist: "No matter where you are, your heart must be in Yanwang Mansion."

Lu Changting's waist suddenly softened, and he almost fell into Zhu Di's arms.

Zhu Di supported Lu Changting's waist with a strong hand: "Changting is not standing still?" After speaking, Zhu Di smiled faintly again: "Now you know how powerful it is?"

Lu Changting: "..."

Although he had suffered a bit, but...letting Zhu Di take advantage is cost-effective, at least...at least at the moment Zhu Di's mood is not as bad as before.

It's just that Lu Changting didn't expect it at this time, the joy came a little too early!

When they walked back to the outside of the palace, a group of people rushed out of the palace in a panic. This group of people bumped into Lu Changting, and Dang even stopped in his tracks. It was in stark contrast to the anxiety in their eyes.

"King Yan, Mr. Lu! The slaves went to the East Palace just now, but they couldn't find you... Finally, I found it... Your Majesty invites you two to come over." The leading eunuch didn't mean to exchange nonsense, but It was the first thing to say.

The joy that had just risen in Lu Changting's heart faded away now.

Calling them over at this time is of course not for rewarding him.From the looks of it now, most likely it was Zhu Yunqi, the grandson of the emperor... who has not yet disappeared.

Since it was Emperor Hongwu's request, neither Lu Changting nor Zhu Di had the room to refuse. Before they could rest, they followed the eunuch to Emperor Hongwu without stopping.

At the same time, out of Lu Changting's sight, Emperor Hong Wu also sent a group of people to the side hall where the princess was imprisoned.

Emperor Hongwu couldn't take it anymore, since he couldn't find the grandson of the emperor, he had no choice but to ask the princess from the princess regardless of his son's face.As for what method to use, who cares?

Lu Changting and Zhu Di were quickly brought to Emperor Hongwu.

Apart from them, there was another group of people who were also old acquaintances of Lu Changting - officials from Qin Tianjian.

Although they hadn't seen Lu Changting for a long time, they never dared to forget Lu Changting.After all, the pain when Lu Changting slapped them in the face is something they will never forget.What's more, Lu Changting has a face that people will never forget.

Therefore, when Lu Changting walked in, the faces of Qin Tianjian's group were more or less ugly, and they couldn't help shouting crazily in their hearts, why is this guy who smashed people's jobs here again?

"Changting, come here." Emperor Hongwu frowned slightly, obviously very worried about Zhu Yunqi's safety, but perhaps because of his desire to be courteous to corporals, Emperor Hongwu's attitude at this time was gentle and even a lot closer.

As if it wasn't him who threatened Lu Changting yesterday.
