Your Highness, has he stopped today?

The next day, Lu Zheyu followed Shi Yunjing to the Yinghua Hall for class.After class at noon, Lu Zheyu found a way to bring Yan Lingjun back to Mingluan Hall, and told him everything he heard behind the rockery yesterday.

There was a hint of surprise in Yan Lingjun's eyes. "So... those assassins were sent by Emperor Chu to assassinate the sixth prince?"

Lu Zheyu nodded: "Exactly."

Yan Lingjun frowned, glanced at the door, and then looked away. "Is it convenient for you to speak here? Will others listen to it?"

"Don't worry, there is no one else in this courtyard." After last night, Lu Zheyu was almost sure that there was no one else in Mingluan Hall except Shi Yunjing.As for Shi Yunjing, he didn't even bother to put eyeliner on him.

Yan Lingjun thought about it for a while, and felt that the situation became more and more complicated: "The sixth prince is still the son of the middle palace anyway, what is the purpose of Emperor Chu doing this?"

"It's just a guess, that is, Emperor Chu wants to appoint the fourth prince as the heir, but it's just a guess." Lu Zheyu shook his head.

"Have you ever informed His Royal Highness about this matter?"

"Without proof, even if I tell him, he may not believe it."

Yan Lingjun was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "If your guess is true, then Emperor Chu's position is that of the Fourth Prince."

Lu Zheyu remembered what Grand Fu Yan Shao had told him before he came to Chu.The ministers in the Chu Kingdom were divided into the Four Princes' Party and the Six Princes' Party, and if the Emperor of Chu had the intention to immediately make Yun Jue the heir, even if he was not a direct descendant, his odds of winning would be several times higher than Shi Yunjing's.Yan Shao wants them to stand in a team, and now it seems that Yunjue's team is easier to win.It's just...the situation doesn't seem to be that simple.

The two looked at each other, and thought of something tacitly.

Lu Zheyu said: "We haven't figured out the purpose of the emperor's assassination of the sixth prince, and we can't make a decision easily at the moment."

"Not bad." Yan Lingjun nodded.Even if Yun Jue becomes the lord of the East Palace in the future, or even ascends to the rank of Ninth Five-Year, it will not be of any benefit to Chen Guo.What the two of them have to do is to find the most useful pieces.

Yan Lingjun thought about it for a while, and seemed to think of something: "Is it true that His Highness the Sixth Highness doesn't know about Emperor Chu's move?"

"I asked him before, but he didn't even know why Emperor Chu sent him to pick up the proton." Lu Zheyu said. "But whether he told the truth or not, there is no way of knowing."

Although subjective speculation is not a good way, but after getting along with each other these few days, Lu Zheyu felt more and more that Shi Yunjing's hidden heart was far more than 16 years old under his cynical appearance.

"Zheyu, you get along with him every day, but what else can you find out?"

"I will do my best." Lu Zheyu said. "I'm afraid I may find out something, but I don't know if what he said is the truth."

Yan Lingjun let out a sigh of relief: "Take your time, the days are still long."

Lu Zheyu nodded and changed the subject. "How is the fourth prince?"

Yan Lingjun pondered for a moment: "He's self-willed and doesn't have a city, but he doesn't know if it's true or not."

"You are by his side, so be careful."

"Of course I know." Yan Lingjun stood up. "It's time for me to go back. It takes a long time to come out, so it will inevitably make people suspicious."

Lu Zheyu nodded. "I send you."

After the two went out, they met Chu Heng head-on.

"Young Master Lu, Your Highness has something to do with you." Chu Heng said.

Lu Zheyu hesitated for a moment, and cast a glance at Yan Lingjun involuntarily.Perhaps it was because Yan Lingjun was always weak and didn't know martial arts. When he came to the Chu Palace, Lu Zheyu became more and more worried that he would be alone outside, fearing that he would fail Yan Shao's entrustment.

Yan Lingjun guessed what he was thinking, and smiled lightly: "It's okay, I'll just go back by myself."

Lu Zheyu expected that there was nothing important about Shi Yunjing's search for him, and wanted Chu Heng to wait for a while, but Chu Heng spoke first: "If Mr. Yan wants to go back to Changqiu Palace, his subordinates can escort him."

The two looked at each other, Yan Ling nodded, and Lu Zheyu just felt relieved and went to Shi Yunjing's study.

"Why is Your Highness looking for me?" Lu Zheyu pushed the door open, and saw Yunjing sitting on a chair in a very indecent posture, holding a book in his hand, with his legs crossed on the table.

Seeing Lu Zheyu coming, Shi Yunjing didn't sit up straight, but in this unsightly posture, raised her chin to signal the stack of books on the table. "The homework assigned by Mr. in the morning is all handed over to you."

Come on, he guessed right.He knew that Shi Yunjing had nothing important to do with him.

Lu Zheyu stepped forward, glanced at the stack of books, and hesitated for a moment: "If you let the gentleman know, what should your Highness do?" At this moment, he saw the book in Shi Yunjing's hand, and the cover said "The Merry Prince, the Pretty Scholar".

Lu Zheyu: "..."

"As an accompanying reader, you can't even imitate your master and child's handwriting?"

"..."

He really will.When he was on the front line in the early years, Feng Yang led him to sneak into Beidi and intercepted their pigeons. It was at that time that Lu Zheyu learned to imitate other people's handwriting and wrote a fake note to replace their secret letter. , it was also in that battle that the Dingyuan army won a complete victory.

Seeing that he was still hesitating, Shi Yunjing started to get angry: "What did you say in the hall that day? Would you like to do the best for me? Now you don't want to do such trivial things?"

"I obey." Lu Zheyu really didn't want to argue with him, picked up the stack of books, sat down at the table next to him, and began to do his best for him.

After a while, Lu Zheyu realized why Shi Yunjing didn't want to write it by himself.The homework assigned by Mr. is too simple, no wonder he is too lazy to write.

Just like that, Lu Zheyu wrote on the small case next to her, while Shi Yunjing was reading the storybook with her legs crossed on the table, and asked the maid to bring two plates of lotus flower cakes in the middle, and she had a great time.And there is no intention of leaving.In fact, Lu Zheyu wanted to say that he could write here by himself, and His Highness just went about his business and didn't need to be here with him.It's just that Lu Zheyu thought, this guy will definitely use some strange reason to go back, and the skill of his mouth will make others lose half of the benefits, Lu Zheyu thinks about it or gives up.

After a stick of incense, Lu Zheyu finished writing, and presented all the homework to Shi Yunjing respectfully.

Shi Yunjing took the page of paper with the hand that had eaten lotus cakes, glanced at it, and looked quite satisfied, but said: "It's okay, the handwriting is still similar, and the literary talent is not satisfactory."

Lu Zheyu replied: "Not as good as your highness."

Shi Yunjing put the theory aside and said: "Okay, it's none of your business, go back."

"..." When the fish is caught, the fish is forgotten, and the bird is used up, the bow is hidden. This is a person like Shi Yunjing.Lu Zheyu hesitated for a moment, then said: "Your Highness, I have something unclear."

Shi Yunjing didn't even look at him: "Tell me and listen."

Lu Zheyu remembered what Yan Lingjun had said to him, and found a euphemism: "I want to ask something about Prime Minister Xiao, is it offensive?"

Shi Yunjing collected her expression, put her legs down, and looked sideways at him: "What do you want to ask?"

Lu Zheyu hesitated for a moment: "Back then, Prime Minister Xiao was considered prominent in the court, and His Majesty also showed great favor to the Xiao family. Now that Prime Minister Xiao is still in his official position, he gradually no longer cares about the affairs of the court. Does Your Highness know why?"

Emperor Cheng'an sent an assassin to assassinate Shi Yunjing, but both Lu Zheyu and Yan Ling couldn't figure out why.But the relationship between the two is inevitable.But why did Emperor Cheng'an kill his son-in-law?Is this related to the Xiao family?

When Shi Yunjing heard the sign related to his grandfather, the usual cynical expression on his face disappeared: "My grandfather was a veteran of the three dynasties, he was an official for more than forty years, and he fell ill due to overwork a few years ago. Now he is recuperating in the mansion. My grandfather once mentioned resigning, and my father pitied him for his advanced age, so he allowed him to no longer be a director, but still retain the honor of the prime minister." Shi Yunjing raised his eyelids and looked at him, "You can Do you understand?"

Lu Zheyu paused slightly, his words were almost seamless.But the more seamless it is, the more people doubt whether this statement is true or false. "Your Majesty is indeed wise."

"You don't need to boast." Shi Yunjing said lightly. "Are there any other doubts?"

Lu Zheyu said again: "In time, if Prime Minister Xiao has recuperated his body, do you have any plans to become a director again?" The Xiao family was powerful and powerful, and this honor and favor would naturally be passed on from generation to generation. He guessed that Xiao Hong would not do this give up as easily.

Shi Yunjing rested his chin with his hands, as if he was thinking. After a while, he stood up and walked to the attic of the study: "This question... my grandfather has mentioned it to me before. Come, I will tell you Answer."

Shi Yunjing's study room is divided into two floors. The first floor is where he reads official documents and does his homework, and the second floor is a small library.Shi Yunjing pushed open the door and motioned for Lu Zheyu to go in first.Although Lu Zheyu hesitated, he stepped into the room: "Your Highness?"

Shi Yunjing smiled contemptuously, closed the door suddenly, and locked it instantly.

"...Your Highness!" Lu Zheyu frowned and patted on the door inside. "What is your highness's intention?"

Shi Yunjing said: "You want to inquire about the secrets of the royal family, but you don't first gain the trust of the king. What is the purpose of being so impatient?"

"..." This kid, his own father wants to kill him, so he wants to save him, okay?

"If Your Highness doesn't want to say it, I won't ask any more. But I'm afraid it's inappropriate for His Highness to put you under house arrest?" Lu Zheyu frowned.

"It's up to the king whether it's suitable or not. Yesterday you appeared outside the king's bedroom inexplicably, acting suspiciously, so the king knew that you were weird. Now you are here to reflect on yourself. When you want to plead guilty, tell me king."

After finishing speaking, Shi Yunjing walked away.Lu Zheyu had no choice but to look around, only to find that the surrounding windows were locked.It's obviously a book collection pavilion, and he treats it as a place of house arrest, and only the Sixth Highness can do this.

Lu Zheyu really had no choice but to sigh, and walked to the bookshelf to take a look at the many books.Most of the categories are ancient poems and prose, and then to the left are the military strategies of various dynasties, and to the left... Lu Zheyu frowned slightly, and various scripts appeared in front of him, such as "the new favorite of the overbearing prince" ", "Your general, don't run away" and "The substitute lover is Bai Yueguang"... Lu Zheyu is really speechless, this Sixth Highness really has leisure time.

Simply having nothing to do, Lu Zheyu had no choice but to pick out a few books on the art of war, and sat there to read them casually.
