After hearing his daughter's analysis, Lu Desheng's eyes lit up, "Daughter, do you think we can give the Xie family and the Zhao family a ride and bring the Zhao family or the Xie family closer to the fourth prince's network?"

Lu Songli looked at her father's eagerness to give it a try, and it was a little funny. Her father was sharpening his sword to fight against the pigs and sheep. In fact, she was a little tempted, but after thinking about it, she still shook her head and rejected her father's proposal.

"Dad, let's not move, especially you. We must believe in our emperor's ability to monitor all officials. We use the emperor as a knife, just in case he notices..." It is good to kill with a borrowed knife, but given the current situation, it is risky to take action.

It's too big, and if you are discovered, you might get caught in it.

It is better to wait and see what happens and see if there is an opportunity for a last hit later.

"Then we don't have to do anything?"

"In the current Chang'an City, no movement is worse than silence." At this time, Chang'an City was like the center of a hurricane. Under the eyes of Emperor Kang Cheng, this was the time to be good. Those who were good may not be rewarded, but those who were not good would be rewarded. Will be beaten.

Lu Desheng thought for a while, and it was indeed true. Then he opened the study door and ordered his servants to call Lu Zhiyuan and Lu Mingzhi over.

Lu Songli knew what her father wanted to do. At this time, it was really time to unify his will.

Not long after, the two brothers Lu Zhiyuan and Lu Mingzhi came to the study.

Lu Desheng mentioned the recent situation to them, and finally told them, "There have been strong winds and waves in Chang'an City recently. You all should keep your tail between your legs, do you hear me?!"

Lu Songli thought quietly, and again, prepare for the worst and work hard in the best direction. They are currently preparing for the worst outcome of something happening to the prince. If something happens to the prince, there must be someone to take care of it.

He is responsible for this. His death in the Northern Territory is an unreasonable disaster for the Qin family. The Qin family must bear the brunt, and the Lu family may also be implicated.

By that time, it was already a game between the upper echelons. As pawns, they could only do limited things. They could only manipulate people's hearts and leverage their strength.

It's a pity that she noticed the conspiracy of the fourth prince and others too late, otherwise, she would have messed up the matter before the prince went to the north to work for the army, and what happened later would not have happened.

This idea only circulated in her mind for a moment, and then she was forgotten. Seeing that the crisis is not terrible, if there is a crisis, we will solve it.

What they have to do now is to prevent others from adding insult to injury. To deal with this move, it is natural to try to get the enemy's handle and lifeline as much as possible. If you hold their handle and lifeline, will the other side dare to add insult to injury to you?

?

They cannot move in Chang'an City, but there is a place outside Chang'an City that can be moved.

Lu Songli's eyes fell on the four words "Lishan Villa", "Zhao Bin, Zhao Bin, it's time for you to perform. I'll give you a chance this time. I hope you can live up to your expectations this time."

In Lu Songli's view, Zhao Bin has always been just a knife. He used to be a good knife in the hands of the Zhao family, but now he has become a sharp blade that stabs the Zhao family. It's just right to use it now.

Only then did the three fathers and sons of the Lu family know that his daughter, sister, and second sister had arranged for someone to be with Zhao Bin.

Watching her arranging things, Lu Mingzhi moved his mouth and whispered, "Second sister, Zhao Bin was so miserable before, why haven't you let him go yet?"

Lu Zhiyuan: ...His sister is too scary. He will never offend anyone if he offends her in the future! He swore secretly.

Bang! Lu Desheng gave his youngest son a melon, "Can you speak? Your second sister is planning something far-sighted——"

Lu Songli smiled and said, "Mingzhi, are you still worried about him?"

Ah! Lu Mingzhi shook his head quickly under his old father's eager gaze. He was not worried about Zhao Bin, he just felt that he was pitiful. Forget it, if he wasn't pitiful, it would be his second sister who was pitiful. Thinking of this, Zhao Bin

So be it.

Lu Songli continued, "Don't worry, after this incident, I will let him go free, and the grudge between me and him will be cleared."

Lu Desheng: Nonsense, you clearly abandoned him like a pair of worn-out shoes because you saw that he had no use value.

Lu Mingzhi: What should I do if I think he is even more pitiful?!

Lu Zhiyuan: Don’t offend my sister, don’t offend my sister.

A girl’s mouth is a liar.

Lu Desheng shook his head and walked out of the study with his hands behind his back. After leaving the study, he trotted back to the main courtyard with brisk steps to share his daughter's intelligence and foresight with his wife.

Lishan Villa

On this day, Zhao Bin woke up from a drunken dream. At this time, he was washed and washed by someone, his hair was tied up, and his clothes were luxurious and exquisite. Looking at his legs, he seemed to have returned to the time when he was full of energy.

The maid Jin Chan came to him and said with a smile, "Fourth Young Master, the sun is warm today. How about we go to the Plum Grove to have a look? The snow along the road has been swept away by the slaves. It is very convenient to go there."

Zhao Bin looked directly at the person who came, "No need to go to so much trouble, tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Jin Chan was at a loss.

"Are you from Lu Songli?"

Jin Chan was startled, "Fourth Young Master is joking."

Zhao Bin smiled self-deprecatingly, "I think that when I reach this stage, she is the only one who still cares about me so deliberately."

After saying this, he said again, "Just tell me, I will cooperate with you in whatever you need me to do."

Jin Chan gritted his teeth, stated his request, and then presented him with a pen and paper.

When Zhao Bin heard this, he smiled with an unknown meaning, then he readily picked up the smile, dipped it in ink, and started writing.

Seeing this, Jin Chan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that what he said was true.

She is Liu Erxi's distant cousin, and her home is on Zhuangzi near Lishan Mountain. Her cousin came to their home before, and he knew that she was thoughtful and tight-lipped, so he asked her privately if she was willing to take care of a disabled person.

Work as an internal response around him.

He also said that if she didn't want to, just pretend that he hadn't mentioned it. If she wanted to, he would take her away and tell the public that she was going to work for a wealthy family. But no matter whether it was successful or not, she couldn't tell anyone about it.

, and can’t tell my family.

She was the second child at home, and she had an eldest sister above her. Seeing her mother who was bedridden, her hard-working father, and several skinny younger brothers and sisters at home, she gritted her teeth and agreed.

Soon, the Zhao Family Courtyard at the foot of Lishan Mountain was looking for slaves, and she was quickly selected with a neat appearance. After a little care, she went to serve the fourth son, Zhao Bin.

When her cousin sent her here, he only told her to take care of her with her heart and not to think too much about anything else. He usually did not contact her. This was the first time someone from her cousin contacted her, and it might also be the last time.

After she came to the Zhao Family Courtyard, her family had good luck. A good doctor wandered into their village and happened to cure her mother's disease. The family only spent a little money. Then, her father found

I got a part-time job, the salary was very good, and it was not tiring. Then the eldest sister proposed a good marriage...

She knew that all this happened because of the noble people behind her cousin, and she was grateful.

In fact, she didn't know the noble man's name, but her cousin mentioned it once occasionally, and she remembered it deeply.

In about a quarter of an hour, Zhao Bin finished writing, and then put down the pen, "It is not unfair for me, Zhao Bin, to lose in her hands, and it is not unfair to lose to Xie Zhao and his family at her hands. She has calculated people's hearts to the extreme." She deserves it. She wins.

Zhao Bin has no burden at all about betraying the Zhao family and the Xie family. He is now a weakness of the Zhao family. If the Zhao family doesn't protect him, don't blame others for taking advantage of him.

He has been in Lishan Villa for so long, and except for the first time when he sent some things, there has been no news from his good sister since then.

He can understand that she is busy and is getting married soon.

But isn't it the same with Lu Songli? His enemies specially arranged for people to take care of him and greet him. It's really ironic.

Jin Chan took the paper, bowed to him, and walked out.

After she went out, Zhao Bin took a book, leaned back, raised his head, covered the book on his face, and then began to laugh lowly, and tears came out as he smiled.

Yugan Palace

Cough cough——cough cough——

Emperor Kang Cheng finally stopped coughing, and Wei Zili quickly handed him a hot handkerchief. After wiping his mouth, he handed him a cup of ginseng tea.

Emperor Kang Cheng took two sips and suppressed the itching in his throat. He leaned back on the soft pillow again and asked with squinting eyes, "Is there any letter from the north?"

Wei Zili: “Not yet.”

Emperor Kang Cheng looked grave, "Send another secret edict to the prince to return to Chang'an! Hurry!"

"Here!" Wei Zili said in his heart, is this the third secret edict?

"Wait a minute, go get me the burial list first." Emperor Kang Cheng ordered.

"Here!"

Wei Zili came back not long after, "Your Majesty, this is the list of burials. Please take a look."

Wei Zili's head was pressed very low.

"Lv Desheng hasn't done anything in the past few days?"

"No, Mr. Lu usually hardly goes out after returning from the palace. The Lu Mansion is also quiet. Except for the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, when the Qin family went to hire people, the second Miss Lu went to the Silver House. The young master was ordered by Mrs. Lu to run around and run errands outside. The people coming and going are normal."

Emperor Kangcheng thought for a moment, raised his ink pen, and crossed out Lu Desheng from the list of officials buried with him.

That's all. Lu Desheng treated him with sincerity and let him go once to end the relationship between the king and his subjects. Otherwise, he would still have a gold medal for immunity from death that he had given him. At most, he would only use it and he would not die. In this case, it would be the same as Tuo's. It doesn't make any difference if he farts in his pants. There was no point in giving him the gold medal to avoid death.

When Wei Zili saw this scene, he admired him in his heart. Mr. Lu was so powerful that he actually made the emperor change his mind. You must know that Mr. Lu is the most useful minister in front of the emperor. Even if the emperor dies, he still wants to take him to the ground and continue to use him. .

He had known for a long time that Mr. Lu was on the list of people buried with him. He was not the only one who must have been buried with him. Although he was not on the list, Wei Zili felt that he should be executed secretly, right?

Now Mr. Lu has escaped with his life, which is really enviable.

"Wei Zili, after I leave, I will let you go free."

"Your Majesty, I want to stay with you forever." Wei Zili said quickly.

Emperor Kang Cheng sighed and said, "Then you can guard my tomb."

Emperor Kang Cheng had told him this, but he had never believed it. But today, the emperor crossed Mr. Lu's name off the list of burials. Perhaps, he could believe it?

This matter was later revealed to Lu Desheng quietly by Wei Zili. If Lu Desheng had not sincerely reminded him before, or the emperor had not crossed out his name, then he would never have said it.

This news made Lu Desheng break into a cold sweat.
