Everything in the palace was detailed, and all could not escape Qi Yunchu's eyes - Lu You knew this a long time ago, so he had no reservations, and explained the matter of Shen Qiguang again.

Qi Yunchu asked him back: "Do you know who this Shen Qiguang is?"

Lu You shook his head: "I don't know."

Qi Yunchu said: "This person was poor when he was young, and he studied hard for many years. He was admitted to Zhaojing on the way, but he encountered a misfortune and was hit by a horse. His right leg was broken. Seeing that the time of spring is approaching, he dragged his broken leg into the Gongyuan. In the end, Zhongdi was accepted—this was a miracle in those days."

Lu You thought about it: "This person's words and demeanor are really good, and he moved King Xuan with just a few words. But I don't understand why such a clear person came back to Zhao Yang? Could it be another One who had a feud with the crown prince?"

Qi Yunchu didn't directly answer Lu You's doubts, but leisurely talked about a part of the past.

"Shen Qiguang's father was a farmer in a rich family back then. The family was too poor to eat meat, so he raised an old hen and laid eggs to nourish the children. The rich family had a vicious dog that bit the hen. Father Shen came to the door to argue, but was threatened by the housekeeper to drive the whole family away.

Shen Qiguang, who was seven years old at the time, learned of this matter, but asked his family to expose it, and kept silent about it.

In the blink of an eye, the vicious dog killed a chick raised by another farmer.This time, Shen Qiguang sneaked into the chicken shed of the wealthy family overnight, killed more than a dozen chickens in one go, and sprinkled feathers and blood on the doghouse.

Thinking of the previous complaints from the dealers, the wealthy family did not suspect him, so they executed the vicious dog neatly.And the Shen family secretly hid two dead chickens and lived a good year. "

After saying this, Qi Yunchu suddenly stopped and asked Lu You, "What kind of person do you think he is?"

"Borrowing a knife to kill someone is not a bloody weapon. To be able to do such a thing at such a young age, it must be even more difficult when you grow up."

Speaking of this, Lu You was thoughtful again: "...But, only his family members should know about these things. How could it be known to the whole world?"

"That's because his family members are not half as smart as him, but they have twice as long lips. After the incident was leaked, Shen Qiguang was brought to see the magistrate. The county magistrate is a good man. He thinks that Shen Qiguang is young and smart, but his temper is a bit cold. Let’s not deal with this case lightly, and let him stay in the house, and help him finish his studies.”

After explaining this, Qi Yunchu looked at Lu You pointingly: "No matter how hard a person works, as long as he can't get out of the embarrassing environment, he will still achieve nothing. But how difficult it is to stand out by one's own strength... That's why family status and bloodlines will become so important. The Tang family and Xiao family are the best examples."

These words reminded Lu You: "Rui Lang told me that the Tang family will not help any of Zhao Yang and Zhao Yun."

Qi Yunchu asked back: "Do you believe him?"

"I believe." Lu You was silent for a while: "Mr. Qiu, who would you choose?"

Qi Yunchu glanced at him: "Who do you think I will choose?"

Lu You hesitated and analyzed: "Although Jiang Qiguang said that you might support King Xuan because of the relationship with the Tang family, I think you seem to have other ideas... You instructed me to save Hu Ji's life, which is equivalent to selling a big If the prince loses power, who should I ask for this favor? However, if you are on the side of the prince, then Zhao Yang will not be as arrogant as he is now."

After speaking, he looked at Qi Yunchu anxiously, like a student anxiously waiting for his teacher's judgment.

But Qi Yunchu did not give a definite answer.

"You are not young anymore, you can't always be like a child in the Hongwen Museum... Speaking of children, the emperor mentioned that he wanted to see Rong Ze. You don't need to tell Zhao Yang, you will take Rong Ze to the Ganlu Hall tomorrow."

Having said that, he stretched out his hand to grab Lu You's hand, and gently spread his five fingers, as if he was reading the shallow palm lines.

"The future of the Great Ning Dynasty may already be in your hands."

Waking up early the next day, Lu You dressed up and pretended to go to the Hongwen Hall, but turned around and led the little emperor Zhao Rongze, and went straight to the Ganlu Hall.

Counting it, this was the first time Lu You had entered the range of Ganlu Palace.If Qi Yunchu hadn't reminded him earlier, he might have thought that he had entered the Ye Ting Prison by mistake.

Around the palace wall, the guards are heavily guarded, with sentries at every step.All those who come and go must go through strict interrogation and searches.

Lu You was dressed in the gorgeous clothes of King Xuan, and he was holding the emperor's grandson by his hand. He thought that he could not be obstructed, but the palace gate was still closed when he met him.

"The emperor is recuperating, no matter who or what happens, don't disturb him."

The Qianniuwei who guarded the gate were all unfamiliar faces, and they didn't change their expressions even when facing the prince of the clan.However, the eunuchs under Qi Yunchu disappeared, walking more cleanly than birds and beasts who heard the sound of bowstrings.

Although Lu You was confused, he didn't want to make a big deal, and was about to take Zhao Rongze to go for a walk first.Just at this moment, the palace door was pushed open again with a "squeak", but no one came out.

"Come in."

Qi Yunchu's voice came from inside.

Qian Niuwei no longer obstructed, and then Lu You took Zhao Rongze and entered the palace gate smoothly.

That's right - the person who spoke just now was indeed Qi Yunchu, who was waiting under a tree not far away.Lu You walked up to him and asked in a low voice: "Grand Qiu, those outside the door just now..."

"They are all the prince's people. If you are worried that the emperor's disease will be contagious, even Queen Xiao may not be willing to let you go when you come here."

Isn't that what it means to put the emperor under house arrest?

Lu You's heart skipped a beat, and he said worriedly: "Then you let us in now, wouldn't you be openly opposing the crown prince?"

"You don't need to worry about this." Qi Yunchu wrote lightly, "When you meet the emperor later, you just need to remember—no matter what he asks, you just nod your head."

Then the three walked through the courtyard and walked into the Manna Hall together.As soon as the door of the hall was pushed open, the light was dim, and the heavy smell of traditional Chinese medicine rushed towards the face.

After Qi Yunchu gave a notification, he shunned the maids and medical officers accompanying him in the hall, and then led Lu You and Zhao Rongze to the dragon bed.

Lu You and Rong Ze knelt down and saluted in front of the bed, and after a while, they heard a feeble voice coming from the heavy curtains in front of them.

"You... come here."

Lu You led Zhao Rongze two steps forward, and finally saw Emperor Huiming lying on the bright yellow brocade.

It was clear that they hadn't seen each other for more than ten days, but the man in front of him was ten years older.The whole face shrank as if dehydrated, and the originally black hair turned gray.

What is the disease that can make the emperor of the first dynasty and the emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan collapse?

Lu You was secretly terrified.He took a deep breath, suddenly recalling all the kindness and care that Emperor Huiming had shown him over the years, even if he was a father and son by blood.

Although he knew that this kind of "family affection" was just the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror, but Lu You felt emotional for a moment, but couldn't help feeling sad.
