Lu Song has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He has a burly figure and bulging temples. He is very skilled at first glance. His eyes are full of vigilance. If it weren't for Zhu Hao mentioning his son, he would never take the risk of visiting.
Everyone in Prince Xing's Palace knew that Zhu Hao came from the Zhu family of Jinyiwei. Palace Chief Shi Yuan Zonggao ordered to be on guard against Zhu Hao. If he came to see Zhu Hao at night, how could it not arouse suspicion among outsiders if it was known?
"Lu Dianzhan, I'm ashamed to say it. It's been five days since I arrived at Prince Xing's Mansion, but during these five days I didn't even enter the door of the inner courtyard of the Prince's Mansion. I was being watched like a thief. Being trapped here every day is like going to jail. No different... Can Lu Dianzhan understand my mood?" Zhu Hao's tone of voice didn't sound like a seven-year-old child at all.
Lu Song was speechless.
Why do you need others to understand your feelings?
"Lu Dianzhan's recent situation should be similar to mine."
What Zhu Hao said next set off alarm bells in Lu Song's heart.
Lu Song frowned and said: "Master Zhu, I heard that you are from the Zhu family of Jinyiwei. What is your purpose in coming to the palace?"
Is this to force Zhu Hao to confess his "crime"?
Of course, Zhu Hao couldn't do what Lu Song wanted. There were some things he wasn't sure about. Even if Lu Song really had contact with Lin Baihu, what if Zhu Youqi knew about it, or did he instruct Lu Song to be a double agent?
"Lu Dianzhan, I met a person today named Lin. He asked me a lot of questions and then hurried out after finishing. Do you know about this?"
Zhu Hao grasped the rhythm of the conversation.
After Lu Song heard this, his expression changed drastically, and he looked at Zhu Hao with a gloomy look... He didn't bother to use his identity as an adult to deceive Zhu Hao, but he fell into the pit first.
Zhu Hao said: "It's embarrassing to say that I didn't know it at first. It turned out that Mr. Jing, me, and my son were the companions of the palace, but he didn't know about it. Through my story, he will definitely think of something and find someone." Please verify. Fortunately, I discovered it in time and didn’t tell more.”
Lu Song's hand was already on the handle of the knife, his eyes were fierce, and he wanted to kill someone if he disagreed with him.
Zhu Hao glanced briefly and knew the current situation. He had to stabilize the situation before Lu Song jumped over the wall.
"Lu Dianzhan, relax. Even the Zhu family doesn't know your identity in the palace. Besides, we have the same purpose, so there is no need to betray you... I didn't tell the family about my guess, but I have told the relevant information I wrote it down mainly in case something unexpected happens to me in the palace, so my family will naturally find out what I wrote..."
When Lu Song heard this, he stared at Zhu Hao, obviously not believing that this was a method that a child could possess.
Zhu Haodao: "Last night, Jian Maoluo discussed with others to harm me secretly. Lu Dianzhan took action today and taught them a lesson. So I think Lu Dianzhan still wants to complete the task and get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible, right?"
This was just Zhu Hao's test, but Lu Song admitted frankly: "I was the one who exposed their dirty hands. I didn't expect to find evidence during the search. It's just a coincidence."
In this way, both parties have laid out everything.
Lu Songzhen was a spy placed in Prince Xing's Mansion by Jin Yiwei.
Lu Song's current situation is much more dangerous than Zhu Hao's. He has to work for the imperial court, but he is also afraid that the imperial court will reveal his identity. More importantly, he has now gained the trust of Prince Xing's palace and wants to escape from Jin Yiwei's control...
Understanding Lu Song's contradictory psychology, Zhu Hao advanced and retreated more appropriately.
"Lu Dianzhan, why don't you and I sit down and talk in detail? Here is some pie and we can enjoy it together?"
…
…
The elder and the younger sat down.
They were wary of each other. Lu Song may have had murderous intentions before, but Zhu Hao judged that this man had read poetry and books and had never been on the battlefield. After reading too many books, he had the pedantry and cowardice of a scholar.
.
Perhaps after his father's death, Lu Song never thought about working for Jin Yiwei again. Unfortunately, he hid for many years and was found by his superiors, so he had to give in.
"Lu Dianzhan, it seems that the imperial court has no intention of embarrassing the palace for the time being. As long as we can bring the information out on time, especially when it involves the little prince, the imperial court will not embarrass us."
Zhu Hao was the first to open the conversation and show his sincerity, "But for me, the current situation is still a bit dangerous."
Lu Song picked up a piece of pie and was about to stuff it into his mouth. He put it down when he heard the words: "This is a place of right and wrong. You are from the Zhu family of Jinyiwei. Prince Xing's palace has been on guard for a long time, so you should leave."
This is telling Zhu Hao, stop struggling. Your origins have been clearly investigated. You are different from me. I can hide my identity well. Are you just waiting miserably to be eradicated by staying here?
Zhu Haodao: "But... I am not willing to give in! Once I leave Prince Xing's Mansion, I will be imprisoned by the family. I will have no chance to study or even practice martial arts in the future... Entering Prince Xing's Mansion is my last way out."
"Um!?"
Lu Song looked at Zhu Hao with disbelief.
Is the strife within your Zhu family so serious?
Are you kidding me?
"Actually, before I entered the palace, I had already interacted with the little prince and the little princess, and we were like-minded." Zhu Hao once again told Lu Song incredible news.
Lu Song stood up suddenly and lost his voice: "This...how is this possible?"
Zhu Hao said: "They call themselves Zhu San and Zhu Si. The older ones are supposed to be the little prince's sisters. She is about eight or nine years old. I met her when I sold rabbits to her... As for Zhu Si, she is about the same age as me, so she should be
Little prince...what I said is right, right?"
"ah?"
Lu Song was stunned.
His shock was enough to show that he had actually known the true situation in the palace for a long time. Zhu Hao estimated that Lu Song never informed Lin Baihu of such important information.
"Don't worry, Lu Dianzhan, I just recorded these things and didn't report them... If you ask around later, you will know that my mother was bullied by my grandmother, and the family was always trying to make fun of us. I entered the palace more because I wanted to get ahead for myself.
Opportunities, whether doing things for the Zhu family or the court, are not as important as planning for your own future."
Zhu Hao said frankly: "Your Majesty has no children today... Lu Dianzhan, you have been in the palace for many years, and your wife is still the nurse of the young prince. You have always avoided interacting with people in the court. I think you have personal and family futures and fate to consider... I
Can you understand what I’m saying?”
Lu Song was still debating whether to kill the boy in front of him who had learned too many secrets to prevent the affairs within the palace and his own affairs from being known to Lin Baihu or the Zhu family.
After listening to Zhu Hao's words, he realized that Zhu Hao was really not an ordinary person. He knew everything about the situation in the palace, which was a little unbelievable for a while.
"What are you talking about, nanny? Master Zhu, there are some things you shouldn't say nonsense."
Lu Song frowned and looked at Zhu Hao with a hint of threat.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Then pretend that I didn't say it, but I still think that staying in the palace is much better than returning to the Zhu family... Just as Lu Dianzhan thought, staying in the palace to plan for the future is no better than returning to Jinyiwei
How much better is it to be a nobody who looks up to others?"
Zhu Hao's words just hit Lu Song's weakness.
Jinyiwei represents the imperial court.
But even if he worked hard for the Jin Yiwei and made great achievements, at most Lu Song would inherit the position of his father's general banner. In the future, it might be difficult to be the deputy of a hundred households, let alone a thousand households of the Jin Yiwei.
But if he stays in Prince Xing's Mansion, he is very likely to serve the dragon in the future. His wife is the young prince's wet nurse, and now his son has come to serve as the prince's companion, and he is still the role model of Prince Xing's Mansion...
"We have the same intention, we want to stay in Prince Xing's Mansion, so if there is anything that harms the Prince's Mansion, we have to keep it a secret if we don't tell the outside world... You have the same idea as me, right?" Zhu Hao looked eager.
Lu Song hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded, revealing his true thoughts in front of a child.
A child accurately explained the current situation and aroused empathy, so he felt that Zhu Hao's words could be trusted.
"Lu Dianzhan, since we have the same purpose, we shouldn't be wary of each other. We will help each other in the future. You help me to be the little prince's companion. I will help you hide the identity information of you and your family. If the little prince becomes the little prince in the future,
If we can achieve... great things, we may be able to achieve success, but it's better than working with Jin Yiwei, right?"
When Zhu Hao said this, he observed carefully and found that the alert look on Lu Song's face became much lighter.
This is because Zhu Hao has controlled Lu Song's psychology and knows what the other party expects most. In addition, Zhu Hao also thinks the same way, so he naturally sympathizes with each other.
Lu Song asked: "Master Zhu, did...any expert give you advice?"
"Um."
Zhu Hao could only nod and admit.
No one would think that a child can think of many things.
"Lu Dianzhan went to inquire and found out that after my father died in the country, the family had always wanted to take back the property he left behind. Even my entry into Prince Xing's Mansion was arranged by the family. This is deliberately pushing me into a pit of fire...I
The master behind me said that only by relying on Prince Xing’s Mansion can I get rid of family control, and that I can be successful in the future... I’m not lying to you.”
"I believe you."
Lu Song finally relaxed, "How do you want me to help you?"
This statement fully shows that Lu Song is not completely ignorant of the origins of the Zhu family.
Now that he knew that the Zhu family and Lin Baihu, the contact person behind him, had the same purpose, how could he not investigate the background of the Zhu family?
Zhu Hao was very happy. He had a secret conversation with Lu Song alone, which was full of dangers. Now it seems that the progress and gains are pretty good. He immediately said: "I hope that Lu Dianzhan can help me gain a foothold in Prince Xing's Mansion and protect my safety."
"Yeah." Lu Song nodded.
Zhu Hao said: "Also, I want to tell the little prince and princess the truth about my situation here through your son's mouth."
Lu Song stretched out his hand to interrupt Zhu Hao: "By the way, you haven't said yet, how did you get to know...Zhu San and Zhu Si?"
"We caught rabbits together... There is a secret passage in the palace where you can sneak out. I met them at the flower and bird market, and we became very good friends... Speaking of which, I asked them to make suggestions to Prince Xing.
, select reading companions..."
Lu Song originally had doubts about Zhu Hao's words.
But now this little guy even knows about Zhu San and Zhu Si raising rabbits. In addition, it was indeed Zhu San, Zhu Si and Zhu Youqi who proposed to recruit companions. All the situations are suitable, so he can't help but not believe it.
