Your Highness, has he stopped today?

"Yes, it's for him." Shi Yunjing replied simply. "I'm eating well and sleeping well in Yecheng now, and no one here is thinking of assassinating me every day. You go back and tell my sister so she doesn't have to worry."

After bandaging his hands, Miao Xing raised his head, very embarrassed.Shi Yunjing glanced at him lightly: "Get up, you don't need to kneel."

Miao Xing stood up silently, and said in a low voice: "Since that's the case... I won't persuade you anymore. I will stay in Yecheng for a few days. If Your Highness changes his mind, please contact him at any time."

Shi Yunjing went to the window and opened the window, the daylight shone into the house, people were coming and going on the street, it was almost noon.

"I'm going back." Shi Yunjing said. "Lu Zheyu is still waiting for me to have lunch."

Miao Xing was taken aback for a moment, and sighed in his heart that the master is really a long-term lover.He stepped forward, took out a few items from his sleeve and put them on the table.

"These are a few cloud-piercing arrows, His Highness will keep them first."

Shi Yunjing glanced sideways, and thought that this cloud-piercing arrow was unique to Xiao Mansion and Shenshuying, and this Miao Xing really became a member of Xiao Mansion.

The secret agent sent to him by Qianqing Palace finally became one of his own. It's really strange to think about it.

Shi Yunjing put those cloud-piercing arrows in her arms, stood up and walked to the door to stop: "I'm leaving. If you want to stay in Yecheng and wait for me to change my mind, then wait slowly. Be careful not to reveal your identity. "

Miao Xing bit his lips, cupped his fists and bowed: "... this subordinate obeys."

When Yunjing went back to the Houfu Bieyuan alone, he thought that Lu Zheyu was already in the room waiting for him to have lunch together, but he didn't know that there was neither Lu Zheyu nor Chu Heng in the room.

When Shi Yunjing couldn't find anyone, she couldn't help feeling suspicious.He walked into the courtyard and said to a maid who was cleaning the courtyard: "Where's your master? Haven't you come to court yet?"

The servant girl turned around and bowed to salute: "Your Majesty just sent someone to report back, and His Majesty hosted a banquet for the ministers. Neither the Young Master nor the Lord Hou can come back."

"Why is there another banquet?" Shi Yunjing curled her lips, her face very displeased.

The servant girl raised her head and asked, "Master Shi, do you need your servants to prepare lunch?"

Shi Yunjing sighed, Lu Zheyu was not here, it was really boring for him to eat alone, but he couldn't just be so hungry, so he could only wave his hand and let the maid pass the meal.

These days, Shi Yunjing ate with Lu Zheyu every day, and his appetite improved a lot, let alone picky eaters.But today, I started to lose my taste when I started to eat. In addition, I was still angry in the inn just now, and my right hand was injured and it was not convenient to hold chopsticks.

The servant girl who was waiting beside him looked at his hands wrapped in gauze, and asked cautiously, "Master Shi's hands..."

"I fell down on the road and hit it." Shi Yunjing replied perfunctorily.

The servant girl was thinking about how to wrestle so as not to break her leg but her hand, but she threw away her chopsticks in disgust when she saw this hard-to-serve master.

"Take it down, it's too bad to eat."

The little maid is also very embarrassed, this dish is exactly the same as the dish a few days ago, and it is also made by the same person, why is it rejected today?

"Servant, go and change some dishes..." the servant girl said cautiously.

"No need, I don't want to eat, just take it away."

The maid had no choice but to carry the food down.

When Chu Heng came back, the maid had just removed the dishes from the table one by one, and guessed that Mr. Lu must be away, and the master was not in the mood to eat again.

Shi Yunjing glanced at him sideways and asked, "Where have you been?"

Chu Heng cupped his hands and bowed: "Sishi, Mr. Lu's entourage came back to report that he would not come back at noon, and seeing His Highness would not leave, so the subordinates went out for a walk."

Shi Yunjing looked away.Seeing that he avoided the important point and didn't say where he went, he didn't bother to ask.

Chu Heng sharply saw the gauze wrapped around his hand, frowned and said, "His Highness's hand..."

Shi Yunjing stood up, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and began to avoid the important things: "I saw Miao Xing, and he is now a member of the Xiao Mansion." He paused, and continued, "Uncle has returned to Xing The city is over. Shi Yunjue has been established as the crown prince. Because of this matter, my sister plans to take me back."

Chu Heng knew it in his heart.How did the injury on the master's hand come about, he basically knew it in his heart.

"How does Your Highness plan?"

Shi Yunjing sneered: "At the beginning she sent me to Yecheng without saying a word, and now she tells me to go back without saying a word, am I an object or something?"

Chu Heng opened his mouth, and said after deliberation: "The Fourth Highness's appointment as the crown prince is no small matter. Now that the general has returned, there must be many arrangements to be discussed with His Highness."

"Now that my uncle has just come back, the emperor must be watching him covetously. I heard that he has taken part of the military power." Shi Yunjing frowned slightly, closed the window, turned around and sat down at the small table. "It's not a good time to mutiny at this time."

"If there is a mutiny, we must take a long-term plan." Chu Heng said in a low voice, "But all of this requires His Highness to return to Xingcheng first, and then make arrangements. Now that His Majesty has believed that His Highness is dead, there is no need to worry about His Highness's safety."

"So you also want this king to return to Xingcheng quickly, right?" Shi Yunjing raised his eyes and glanced at him.

Chu Heng lowered his head and didn't reply, so he took it as his acquiescence.

"The Xiao family is your master, Lu Zheyu is your master, but this king is nothing." Shi Yunjing rolled his eyes and stopped looking at him.

"Subordinates dare not make decisions for His Highness." Chu Heng said in a low voice.

"Okay then, you hear me clearly. I don't want to go back now."

"……Yes."

Shi Yunjing thought about it for a second, and said lightly: "You can go back if you want, unless you let Lu Zheyu go back with me."

Chu Heng heard that his master was making trouble for no reason, but he couldn't handle it alone without Mr. Lu, so he had to change the subject and said: "Your subordinates know, everything will be arranged by His Highness."

"Also, don't let Lu Zheyu know that Miao Xing came to look for me."

"Yes." Chu Heng agreed.It's just that I don't know why Shi Yunjing gave such a single order, his master is the one in front of him, and he didn't really become Lu Zheyu.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Yunjing answered his doubts: "Although I have no intention of going back to Xingcheng now, if I let him know about it, I might feel sad."

Chu Heng: "..."

Shi Yunjing tilted his head as if thinking: "After all, he seems to have started to like me too, so he must be reluctant to let me go." As he spoke, he glanced up, "What do you think?"

Chu Heng was silent for a moment, then nodded reluctantly: "This subordinate feels that Mr. Lu really likes His Highness."

Shi Yunjing was very satisfied, but couldn't help worrying: "What if I have to go back to Xingcheng in the future?"

Chu Heng: "Your Highness...what are your plans?"

Shi Yunjing already had a countermeasure, and discussed with him, "Should we give him a sweat medicine and tie him back to Chu State? Will it work?"

Chu Heng was very hesitant: "The subordinates feel that it won't work."

Shi Yunjing glanced at him, and snorted twice: "It's fine if you don't obey my king's orders, don't call me master from now on, Lu Zheyu will be your master from now on."

Chu Heng: "..."

Shi Yunjing glanced at him angrily, and made other subordinates take it for granted: "I'm hungry, go and ask someone to get me something to eat."

"Yes." Chu Heng turned and left this place of right and wrong as if he had been pardoned.

Today is May [-]th, Longevity Day.At noon, Emperor Chongde held a banquet in Zichen Hall.In previous years, the people who participated in the Wanshou Festival palace banquet were all senior officials of the fourth rank and above, but today, there was one more person, who was Lu Zheyu, the son of Marquis Dingyuan who had just been named General Wujie a few days ago.

Lu Zheyu himself didn't know why Emperor Chongde included him in the table, but everyone else thought it was because the Dingyuan Army he led had just made military achievements, so it was inevitable that His Majesty would take a high look at him.

On the way to Zichen Palace, Lu Zheyu was still thinking about this matter, Lu Chi saw what was on his mind, and said lightly: "Your Majesty is not entertaining you alone, so what are you worried about?"

"I'm not worried, I just feel that His Majesty's move has other intentions." Lu Zheyu whispered.The last time he held a banquet for ten protons, and Emperor Chongde personally toasted, he felt that something was wrong.

"If not, why don't you ask His Majesty yourself?" Lu Chi glanced at him and said calmly.

Lu Zheyu knew he was wrong, so he stopped talking and walked into the Zichen Palace in silence.

The luncheon officially started, and the officials in the hall laughed and talked, drinking and drinking, delicious food and wine, singing and dancing.Emperor Chongde sat on the main seat, enjoying the singing and dancing under the stage while tasting wine.

Not long after, the tune of the music changed, and several dancers wearing veils scurry into the hall, surrounded by ten people, one person in the middle stretched out his long sleeves, and leaped lightly above the hall, his robes fluttering like Lingbo.The person in the middle has light feet and beautiful eyes, which makes people intoxicated.

Emperor Chongde raised his glass and drank half of the wine, then asked with a chuckle, "General Lu, how about the song and dance?"

Lu Zheyu had no intention of watching the song and dance, but suddenly his name was called. He put down the wine cup and bowed his hands: "Elegant and agile, erratic like a fairy."

Emperor Chongde seemed to be very satisfied and nodded: "I heard that today I will have a banquet for my ministers on the Longevity Day. Wu Yang started preparing this song and dance last month, saying that he would present this gift for me."

Lu Zheyu was slightly startled, he looked up and saw that the group of dancing girls were all wearing veils, at first he didn't pay attention to it, but now when he looked carefully, the person surrounded by them was Yu Rulan, the eldest princess of Wuyang.

When the ministers heard this remark, they all talked around and praised him endlessly.

"The eldest princess really has both talent and beauty, this gift is very thoughtful." Lu Zheyu said.

Emperor Chongde smiled and raised his glass to him: "Why don't General Lu give me a toast?"

Hearing the words, Lu Zheyu hurriedly picked up his wine glass, and said concentratingly: "My minister Lu Zheyu, congratulations to Your Majesty for a long and boundless life."

Emperor Chongde chuckled and drank the wine in his glass.

After the banquet was over, all the officials dispersed, and Lu Zheyu was about to go back to the mansion with his father, when the eunuch in charge of Emperor Chongde came to report to Lu Zheyu, saying that His Majesty had summoned him alone.

Lu Chi glanced at Lu Zheyu lightly, and said, "If that's the case, let's go, don't keep His Majesty waiting."

Lu Zheyu bowed to his father and followed the eunuch.

In the study, Lu Zheyu saluted Emperor Chongde, who smiled lightly and gave him a seat.

"I don't know why your Majesty summoned his ministers here?" Lu Zheyu said respectfully.

"I'll call you here, so I won't beat around the bush." ​​Emperor Chongde smiled and said, "I want to marry Wuyang to you, what's General Lu's opinion?"
