Seeing Xie Wu's pretty face turn pale, Lu Zhan smiled and was about to step forward to take Xie Wu's hand again, but suddenly he heard Suiyu's voice rang again.
"Miyue, why are you here?"
Xie Wu frowned and glared at Lu Zhan, then raised her feet and walked towards Suiyu.
Lu Zhan touched the tip of his nose and smiled bitterly, and then followed Xie Wu to the light without hesitation.
Seeing Xie Wu and Lu Zhan walking out one after another, Mi Yue's face turned slightly red. She quickly saluted each of them. Finally, she whispered to Xie Wu, "Girl, the prince asked you, Mr. Lu, to go to his tent."
Come sit inside."
Xie Wu's eyebrows moved, "Dad, are you awake?"
"Yes, Your Majesty heard that Jin Yiwei has come, so I would like to invite Mr. Lu and the girl to have a talk." Mi Yue lowered her eyes and calmly said to Xie Wu.
Although she felt a little panicked when she mentioned Jin Yiwei, when she saw the girl's charming but cold face, the uneasiness and strangeness in her heart dissipated a lot.
"I know." Xie Wu nodded. She turned around and was about to talk to Lu Zhan, but saw that Lu Zhan had already walked forward. Seeing her frozen in place, he did not forget to stop and come back to his senses.
Come.
"Ah Wu, let's go!"
Xie Wu closed her eyes, took a long breath, then walked quickly past Lu Zhan with a cold face.
Seeing Xie Wu fuming, Lu Zhan couldn't help but laugh out loud again.
Although they had walked a certain distance, Lu Zhan's smile still reached Xie Wu's eyes. Xie Wu frowned, feeling more and more angry. If Suiyu and Miyue hadn't been watching, she would have wanted to rush in.
Go back and slap Lu Zhan hard.
What did she say? Was it so funny?
"Ah Wu, wait for me!" Fortunately, Lu Zhan did not dare to make his future wife anxious. He shouted hard at Xie Wu's back, then quickly followed her.
At this time, Xie Zheng, who was lying on the bed, had already sat up.
"Dad." Xie Wu called him immediately as soon as she came in.
Xie Zheng smiled and nodded, and just as he was about to speak, the heavy curtain moved again, and Lu Zhan's figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Uncle Shi." Lu Zhan smiled and walked to the bed, raised his hand and bowed to Xie Zheng.
Xie Zheng originally had some doubts about Lu Zhan, but fortunately, after hearing Xie Wu's words, he felt that he could still have this son-in-law.
So, when Lu Zhan greeted him, he smiled and nodded to him, "A-Zhan is here, sit down quickly!"
Upon hearing Xie Zheng's words, Suiyu immediately moved a stool obediently, but she did not move it to Lu Zhan. After she put the stool behind Xie Wu, she saw Lu Zhan looking at her, and she smiled.
Then another stool was brought over for Lu Zhan.
"Your Majesty, Miss, you guys talk, I'll go and guard outside." Broiyu said crisply, then, after saluting several people, he exited the tent neatly.
"Uncle Shi, are your injuries okay?" As soon as Sui Yu left, Lu Zhan immediately asked Xie Zheng with concern.
"It's okay, it's just a skin injury!" Xie Zheng replied with a smile.
After hearing Xie Zheng's words, Lu Zhan looked like he was relieved and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Uncle Shi, you don't know, just now Ah Wu blamed me for getting you hurt..."
"Lu Zhan!" Seeing Lu Zhan mention what happened just now, Xie Wu couldn't help but frown, and subconsciously turned her face to the side and gave Lu Zhan a hard look.
"Uncle Shi, look, I didn't lie!" Lu Zhan hurriedly hid beside Xie Zheng while pretending to complain to Xie Zheng.
Seeing the talented and beautiful couple in front of him joking with each other, Xie Zheng suddenly remembered his youth. At that moment, he couldn't help but laugh. He quickly turned to persuade Xie Wu, "Okay, Wu, actually this is not to blame.
Zhan, it’s me..." Having said this, Xie Zheng hesitated slightly, pursed his lips, and finally said the next words, "In that situation, if I was unscathed, I'm afraid I would
It’s suspicious, so…”
In fact, there was another hesitation in his mind at that time. He was afraid that Lu Zhan had deliberately planned this matter. Just in case, he could only risk his life so that if something happened, he would have room to argue.
"Dad..." Xie Wu obviously guessed Xie Zheng's plan at that time. She frowned slightly and called Xie Zheng with some distress.
But Xie Zheng smiled at Xie Wu. Now that he had said this, he simply turned to look at Lu Zhan and said all the words, "A Zhan, I did have doubts about you at the time. Even now, I don't
Same! The reason why I didn’t say anything was because I didn’t believe you, I believed in my daughter!”
Looking at Xie Zheng's burning gaze, Xie Wu moved her lips, but in the end she didn't say anything.
After Lu Zhan heard Xie Zheng's words, he pursed his lips and smiled. Then he stood up and saluted Xie Zheng solemnly. Finally, he looked up at him and said, "Uncle Shi, I'm very happy for you.
You can tell me this! Uncle Shi, if you have anything to ask, let me know. If I can answer your question, I will never refuse even a word."
It was not easy for him and Ah Wu to get to where they are today, so he didn't want to leave a thorn in Xie Zheng's heart.
As long as there are people whom Ah Wu cares about, he doesn't want them to have any bad impression of him.
Of course, Xiao Muqing from Zhennan Palace was excluded.
"Since you said so... Then A-Zhan, I'm going to ask, why did you know that something would happen to His Majesty and deliberately remind me?" Xie Zheng said while staring at Lu Zhan without blinking.
He had to confirm whether Lu Zhan had lied to him.
Lu Zhan smiled lightly, looked directly at Xie Zheng's scrutinizing eyes and said, "Uncle Shi, you must already know about the arrival of the Jinyi Guards."
Xie Zheng frowned. Although he didn't know how this matter was related to what he asked Lu Zhan, he still nodded and said, "I originally called you here and wanted to ask you about this, Mi Yue.
They only said that the Jinyiwei were here, but they didn’t say what they were here for?”
"Uncle Shi, one of the young men Mr. Xie brought this time was named Huai'an. He was Yang Hefeng's spy in the Hou Mansion. The reason why His Majesty fell off his horse this time was because he moved in His Majesty's saddle.
Broken hands and feet!"
"You, what did you say!" Xie Zheng straightened his body in shock.
But Lu Zhan continued calmly, "I discovered the existence of Huai'an a long time ago. However, I was in an awkward position at the time and couldn't come here to tell you clearly. But this time, I saw that he was also in the Hou Mansion.
He followed him around, so he kept ordering people to follow him secretly."
"No, it's impossible. Even if Huai'an is an internal agent installed by Yang Hefeng, isn't Yang Hefeng going to kill him soon? There is no reason why he would let Huai'an do such a thing at this time?" Xie Zheng frowned in confusion.
He looked at Lu Zhandao.
"Uncle Shi, it's true that Yang Hefeng wants to kill him, but he can't help but there are other people who are eyeing this chess piece and want to use this chess piece to make plans..."
"Who are you talking about?"
"I heard that Zuo Sicheng of Honglu Temple met Uncle Shi several times by chance? He asked Uncle Shi for drinks several times, but it seems that Uncle Shi didn't even come down!" Lu Zhan looked at Xie Zheng and said with a smile.
Xie Zheng frowned, still a little confused, "So what?"
"Uncle Shi, Zuosicheng of Honglu Temple is the son of Fang Shoucheng, the Minister of Household Affairs, and who Master Fang belongs to, Uncle Shi must know very well!" Lu Zhan looked at Xie Zheng with a smile and explained to him.
Sure enough, after hearing Lu Zhan's words, Xie Zheng's face darkened.
Of course he knows who the Minister of the Ministry of Finance belongs to. A few years ago, he was scolded by His Majesty for being involved in military pay! But even so, what does this have to do with Huai'an?
It can't be that the prince, seeing that he failed to win over him, wanted to set up this trap to frame him!
"Uncle Shi, nothing is impossible! If you want to blame, it's just that your position is too important for the people of the prince's line... The prince has Xu Shoufu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple.
Zuo Si Cheng, as well as some censors and ministers, have many people he can use, but there is only one kind of person missing..."
"Who?"
"He who has soldiers in his hands!"
Xie Zheng's pupils suddenly shook!
"Although the King of Qi is not as powerful as the Crown Prince in the court, he cannot resist the fact that he has an uncle who is General Yu Linwei. Based on this alone, the King of Qi will overpower the Crown Prince! Therefore, the Crown Prince urgently needs a...
There are only powerful arms to check General Yu Linwei, and it is obvious that Zuo Yiwei is the most suitable candidate!" Lu Zhan looked at Xie Zheng and continued.
"Even so, he won't want to deal with me, he, he is the crown prince..."
"Uncle Shi, have you forgotten about the military pay a year ago?" Lu Zhan said without hesitation, breaking Xie Zheng's fantasy.
The corners of Xie Zheng's lips moved again and again, but in the end he didn't say a single word to refute Lu Zhan.
He still remembered that Ah Wu had said something similar to him after the military pay incident came out. She said, Father, is the prince still a perfect prince in your heart?
no!
He never was!
How could a man who would withhold military pay for his own greed be a qualified prince, not to mention that he is still...
Xie Zheng closed his eyes. After a long time, he slowly said, "How do they want to drag me in?"
It's not enough for Huai'an to want to involve him, because once Huai'an's identity is revealed, he has no room for argument. What's more, since they just want to involve him, they can't really kill the king, so
…
They must have some tricks up their sleeves.
"Huai'an persuaded the eldest son of the house. It turned out that the person who saved His Majesty from the leopard's mouth would be the eldest son of the house! The arrow in his hand was smeared with a heavy mahjong, and he only needed to shoot the arrow.
Leopard, Your Majesty will naturally be safe and sound." Lu Zhan continued to explain.
"You mean, you mean Ah Shi, he, he knows all this..."
"yes."
"Come on, go! Go and call me when Xie Shi is here!" Xie Zheng became angry!
But Suiyu who was standing outside didn't make a sound.
Xie Wu frowned and stood up hesitantly, "Father, Ah Shi has been taken away by the Jin Yiwei."
Xie Wu's words were like a thunderclap, which made Xie Zheng unable to wake up for a long time.
But Xie Wu seemed not to notice his shocked and livid face. She pursed her lips and then said, "Father, Ah Shi is not the only one who knows about this, my second uncle also knows about it!"
