Early the next morning, the streets were under martial law.
Lu Heng was about to go out and go to work in the palace. As soon as he went out, he was persuaded to go back by the guards of Prince Ning's palace who were hiding in the dark and responsible for protecting him.
"Mr. Lu, the prince has said it. It's best for you not to meet that Mr. An!" Knowing that this young master had a close relationship with the prince, it was difficult for the guards to do so. They couldn't just force him back. They could only do it.
With a smile on his face, he said to Lu Heng.
"Is the imperial envoy here?" Lu Heng heard the meaning of the words, glanced at the empty street, turned around and asked the guard.
The guard nodded, clasped his fists and said, "Returning to the young master, according to the news from the brothers, it is said that the imperial envoy team has arrived outside Jiangning City. Now, all the officials in the city, big and small, have gone to greet them!"
"Oh!" Lu Heng just said "oh" after hearing this, without much reaction. After looking outside, he turned around and went back.
Entering the room, Liu Qingqing, who was working as a prostitute, saw Lu Heng coming back and asked in surprise: "Why is uncle back? Don't you have to go to the palace as an errand today?"
Lu Heng shook his head with a smile, sat down, and poured a cup of hot water for Liu Qingqing and himself. After blowing the hot water for a while, he handed it to Liu Qingqing and said with a smile: "Here comes a big shot, now
It’s under martial law outside and we can’t get out!”
"What a big shot!" Liu Qingqing took the bowl and took a sip. She felt that the hot water was just right. After taking a small sip, she put the bowl down and asked softly.
"Well, I heard he was an imperial envoy! Huo, it's really hot!" Lu Heng blew on the hot water in the bowl. After taking a sip, it was so hot that he bared his teeth. He gasped and breathed in the cool air.
Seeing Lu Heng being scalded by hot water, Liu Qingqing glanced at him in confusion, and scolded him with concern: "You are such a big man, why are you still acting like a child? Is there anyone who wants to snatch it from you?"
Lu Heng smiled, put down the bowl, turned around, looked at Liu Qingqing who was looking at him with concern, and smiled slightly.
"You, what are you looking at!" Liu Qingqing panicked, her pretty face turned red, she raised her head and stared at Lu Heng angrily: "If you look again, I'll dig out your eyeballs!"
Lu Heng chuckled, stroking his chin, and said with a smile: "You have to dig it out and look at it!"
"You, you..." Liu Qingqing blushed with embarrassment, lowered her head, and said hastily. However, after a moment, the woman suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and her color suddenly turned a little cold.
She raised her head, glanced at Lu Heng, turned her head, looked at the golden sunshine outside the window, and said calmly: "Then go and see Sister Tingzhi. Didn't they ask you to wait?"
Lu Heng: "..."
In the royal palace, the woman in the east courtyard is in the fragrant boudoir.
Wang Tingzhi sat quietly in front of the table, holding the incense chin in her hand, looking at the incense burner with green smoke, dazed. Her face seemed to be happy and angry, and there were tears and laughter in her eyes.
Wang Liye, however, sat aside with a helpless look on his face, sipping tea. Occasionally he raised his head to look at his yearning girl and wanted to say something. But in the end, he could only shake his head and sigh, and then continued to drink the tea cup.
Drinking happily.
After running to the latrine three times, Wang Liye finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He put down the tea cup, looked at his sister helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Sister, my second brother is not telling you, what you did this time is really too much!"
"Although my elder brother has not had close contact with Lu Yongzheng, my second brother definitely believes in his character! Don't worry, Mr. Lu will definitely come to see you! If you do this, my second brother will really
It's hard to do! She is the benefactor of our Wang family, so you are going too far by instructing your servants to close the door tightly and prevent them from coming in!" In front of his sister, who the whole family had no choice but to do, Wang Liye decided to be brave.
Once, he slapped the table with his hand, stared at his sister solemnly, and scolded her.
"Go... out!" Wang Tingzhi didn't even look at him. She was still holding her cheek in one hand, dazed. But her other hand was gently raised, and she stretched out her white jade fingers and pointed.
At the door, he murmured in a low voice.
"Oh!" Wang Liye was immediately frightened, responded obediently, stood up dejectedly, and walked out.
After her second brother left, Wang Tingzhi looked away from the incense burner, pouted angrily, glanced at the bright sunshine outside the window, and said angrily: "It's not like I really don't let you in, and the door is not locked!"
He looked happy and angry, talking to himself.
Wang Liye, who was hiding outside the door and eavesdropping on his sister's words, had a pitiful expression on his face after hearing these words. He shook his head and sighed deeply. However, there was always something in this sigh that made people listen.
Somewhat secretly happy.
"Hey, finally someone can restrain this girl! Mr. Lu, hey, you are so tall!"
Wang Liye smiled secretly and crept down the stairs.
As soon as I left my sister's embroidery building, I met Li Er coming towards me.
Today, Li Er is already the housekeeper of the palace. In this palace, he can be regarded as inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. A month ago, Manager Fang left quietly. At that time, Li Er, who was in the limelight, was naturally in the right place.
He took over the position of General Manager Fang and became the butler of the palace. Today, he is no longer the thin but thin servant in green clothes and a small hat, but a powerful but energetic butler.
Although Wang Liye later learned about some of what happened to Li Er after he was kidnapped, he still reused Li Er to save Lu Heng's face.
Moreover, after Li Er came back, he knelt in front of him and cried bitterly, begging him to be punished. He said that he was sorry for the palace and Mr. Lu. But Wang Liye just looked at him lightly, waved his hand, and let him go.
The reason why he didn't deal with Li Er was because he couldn't figure out what Lu Heng was thinking. However, as long as he kept an eye on things, Li Er would not be able to cause any big trouble.
Now, seeing that my sister and Lu Heng have developed, the happiest person is Wang Liye.
Once their good deeds come together, Lu Heng will be his brother-in-law. At that time, with his brother-in-law's ability, who else in Jiangning can be the opponent of the Wang family?
However, now that he saw his sister acting like a young lady with Mr. Lu, Wang Liye became a little anxious.
However, his sister's domineering attitude was revealed, and she had accumulated a lot of prestige on weekdays. Wang Liye did not dare to stroke the tiger's beard at this time.
A wise man is a good man who does not suffer immediate losses, but a gentleman is not conducive to being under a dangerous wall! Temporary patience is not cowardice. It is a matter of accumulation and accumulation!
Wang Liye straightened his gown, said something, and comforted himself in his heart.
After going out, he met Li Er who looked anxious. Wang Liye stopped, looked at Li Er who was panting with anxiety, and said, "Oh, Manager Li, what's the matter?"
After Li Er saw the Second Young Master opposite him, he hurriedly stepped forward. After bowing deeply to Wang Liye, he raised his head. He took a breath and said to Wang Liye eagerly: "Second Young Master, the imperial envoy has arrived in Jiangning!"
"An Peng, An Wanli?" Wang Liye frowned and stared at Li Er and asked.
"Yes, Second Young Master, it is Mr. An!" Li Er raised his sleeves, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and nodded in reply.
"What a coincidence! Ha!" Wang Liye squinted his eyes, thought for a while, then said lightly with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Su Guangyi committed suicide out of fear of crime, and Liu Yuanyi was killed for collaborating with the enemy. Those who harmed his reputation and interests were all killed. Here he comes!
What a coincidence!
Wang Liye crossed his arms, smiled coldly, and thought to himself.
"What a coincidence!" Similarly, in Prince Ning's Mansion, Wu Ningyuan was dressed in fine clothes and sitting in the hall. After hearing the report from the guard Zhan, he put down the tea cup in his hand, thought about it, and sneered.
As half of Lu Heng's previous guesses, those Turks would never survive this month. And just last night, the eighteen Turks who were detained in the Jiangning garrison camp were all poisoned to death overnight, and no one survived.
Although he knew that these Turks would definitely die, Wu Ningyuan still did not expect that An Peng would move so fast!
And he didn't arrive until all these people were dead.
What a good trick! Wu Ningyuan tapped his fingers on the table and smiled coldly in his heart.
The room was extremely quiet, except for the whirring sound in the stove.
Waves of incense filled the room. Wu Ning leaned far back on his chair, eyes slightly closed, tapping his fingers on the table, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Did Yong Zheng say anything in the past few days?" After a while, Wu Ningyuan stopped what he was doing, opened his eyes, raised his head and looked at Zhan Weiwei.
"Ha. Mr. Lu didn't say anything. His subordinates also asked him, but he smiled and said, Your Majesty, you have great wisdom. Dealing with such trivial matters is like Zhang Fei eating bean sprouts!" Guard Zhan smiled and clasped his fists.
It's a long way to Wuning.
"Zhang Fei eats bean sprouts?" Wu Ningyuan was stunned for a moment and thought about it, but he had never heard of such a saying. He frowned, looked at Zhan Weifui and said, "What's the explanation?"
Guard Zhan looked at Wu Ningyuan who was thinking seriously, suppressed his laughter, cupped his fists and said: "Master Lu said, Zhang Fei can eat bean sprouts, it's a piece of cake!"
Wu Ningyuan was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.
He smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then shook his head and scolded Lu Heng with a smile: "This boy is so slippery!"
Zhan Wewei also nodded with a smile. However, after thinking about it, he still felt that there was something he should say to Prince Ning. After thinking about it, he put away the smile on his face and whispered: "But
!”
"But what? I said, Zhan Xiong, you have been with me for twenty years, and when did you become like a girl, chirping silently!" Wu Ningyuan's appetite was whetted, and he was waiting to hear the second part.
After saying a sentence, Zhan Xiong was silent. He immediately glared at him angrily and cursed.
"Haha, please don't be angry, Your Majesty. This is just my guess!" Seeing Wu Ningyuan's threatening look, his heart felt warm. Zhan Xiong also knows the temper of this old man, and he will only get angry when he gets to know you well.
If he doesn't get along with someone, the prince usually doesn't even bother to say a word, let alone look good to the other person.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly, if you have something to say, let it go!" Wu Ningyuan glared at Guard Zhan and cursed angrily: "It's okay, just get out of here!"
Zhan Weiwei smiled, then clasped his fists to Wu Ningyuan and said solemnly: "Before, I also told Mr. Lu about Mr. An. At that time, Mr. Lu had no expression when he heard it. I thought he didn't hear clearly, so I repeated
He said it once. However, Mr. Lu had an expression of indifference after listening to it. He said, he said..."
"What did he say?" Wu Ningyuan stared at Guard Zhan with burning eyes and asked in a deep voice.
"Oh, Mr. Lu said that he knew that An Peng was Zuopushe, an important minister who now holds great power in the government and the public, and a native of the northwest. But he said, he said!" Zhan Xiong's voice paused for a moment, and finally he turned his head.
, glanced around and found that there was no one else, then he said in a deep voice: "Master Lu said that although he, An Peng, has power over the whole government, he is still a minister. The world of Great Zhou belongs to the Wu family, and the emperor of Great Zhou is
The surname is Wu, not An!"
With Zhan Weiwei's words ringing in his ears, Wu Ningyuan leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes, and his expression changed unpredictably. After a long time, he finally opened his eyes, and his eyes instantly became sharp. His eyes were bright.
Shining looked at the bright sunlight outside the window, feeling proud and said in a deep voice: "Yongzheng said well! This world is still the world of my Wu family. Even if his An family is extremely powerful in the Western Region, so what, after all, I, my ministers,
My lord, the emperor of Zhou Dynasty is named Wu!"
Zhan Xiong stood aside, his eyebrows lowered, as if he didn't hear Wu Ningyuan talking to himself.
