Surprise! The villain is my brother, stay calm!

Xiao Lanjue has been tricked into joining the ranks of treason, and Lu Zhanxing is very satisfied.

It turns out that it is necessary to prepare a fake cousin.

Lu Zhanxing lay on the windowsill, looking at the maids who were still sweeping the snow outside with a melancholy look.

The snow has stopped, but it is still very cold.

"Young master, be careful not to catch a cold. When the old lady sees you, she will nag you again." Liu Xu put a white fur coat on Lu Zhanxing.

Lu Zhanxing stood up and straightened his collar, then glanced at his belly. The baby was due in two months, he was so panicked!

Thanks to the cold weather, I wore thick clothes so others thought I had gained weight, and my mother covered for me. Otherwise, I really don’t know how I would have hidden it.

"Your Majesty!"

Outside, the sound of servants bowing could be heard.

Lu Zhanxing quickly pulled his fur coat tighter, held the heater with both hands, covered his abdomen with his wide sleeves, and then looked at his elder brother with a smile on his face as he walked in.

"Xing brother!"

When Lu Zhanyan saw his brother standing at the door, he was stunned for a moment. He glanced inside the house and saw several pots of charcoal fire. Why was his younger brother still in the house wearing a fur coat?

"Is there not enough charcoal?"

"No, I just stood by the window for a while and Liu Catkins insisted that I put it on." Lu Zhanxing smiled and shook his head, but he stood straighter.

Otherwise she really couldn't help but want to hold her waist.

She was thankful more than once that she was born into a wealthy family, otherwise she would not be able to endure morning sickness and leg cramps during pregnancy.

With Liuxu and Xiulan serving me, I am not so tired at least.

I really admire those women from poor families who start doing housework immediately after giving birth.

Liu Xu asked the two young masters to sit down and then went to pour tea. However, the young master was pregnant and could not drink tea, so she could only make other scented tea for her.

"Brother Xing, you are right. There is a snowstorm in Qinzhou."

Hearing this, Lu Zhanxing thought to himself that it was indeed so.

"Qinzhou snowstorm, I wonder what plans big brother has?"

"I wonder what good ideas you have, brother?" Lu Zhanyan asked curiously.

Lu Zhanxing glanced at his brother and said, "Brother, you obviously have something in mind, but you have to ask me about it. This is not a good behavior."

"Oh? Why is it bad? Don't you like me to discuss this with you?"

Lu Zhanyan still likes to have someone to discuss things with. Maybe because his grandfather is no longer around, he subconsciously regards Lu Zhanxing as his closest person.

"I like talking to my brother, but I don't like discussing these important matters. I, your brother, am determined to be a carefree playboy. How can I be bound by these trivial matters?"

"Brother? This is all I want. Please don't deprive me of my right to enjoy life!"

Seeing Xingdi talking about her goal so seriously, Lu Zhanyan still felt shocked. Is there really someone who is indifferent to power?

Although he had never thought of rebellion, he was ambitious and liked to be at the pinnacle of power.

But my brother...

"Okay, big brother, just remember what I said. My brother-in-law should have told you about Yongzhou, right?"

Lu Zhanyan nodded. When Gu Xuyao ​​told him that Yongzhou was the retreat for their Lu family, he was shocked for a long time. It turned out that his grandfather had already made arrangements.

It’s a pity that the situation in Qi is unclear now, and escaping to Qi is not really a good place to go.

It’s better to find another way out.

"I plan to use the 30,000 elite soldiers from Yongzhou to start an uprising. If we can completely control Qinzhou, we will have another bargaining chip."

He stated his intention directly.

Lu Zhanxing agreed. Sure enough, the plot was still following the direction of the book. If the Fourth Prince went to the battle again this time, he would definitely not return. This was also good.

"Brother, just go ahead and do it."

Hearing this, Lu Zhanyan raised the corner of his lips slightly. He knew that Xingdi's idea coincided with his own.

It’s great to have a capable younger brother. Thanks to my younger brother Xing, I was told to pay attention to Qinzhou. Otherwise, I would never have been able to plan to take Qinzhou.

However, Lu Zhanxing felt that it was great to have a villain brother with strong execution ability, and he could soon lie down and rest in peace.

The two of them think each other is good, which can be considered an alternative two-way relationship.

"Brother, when will you leave for Yanzhou to take up your post?"

"Tomorrow is the tenth day of the lunar month, and it has been a while since I came out, so I plan to leave tomorrow."

"Well, big brother, I won't go to Yanzhou with you. You know, Xianye is about to give birth, and I have to stay here to accompany her more!"

I was about to give birth and couldn't go with them, so I had to find an excuse.

Lu Zhanyan frowned. He wanted his younger brother to go to Yanzhou with him. He subconsciously said, "Yanzhou is not far from Xuzhou."

It means you can come back often.

But Lu Zhanxing shook his head: "Brother, with Mr. Xiao and Mr. Mu here, you will definitely succeed. If I have any news, I will definitely let you know in advance. But this time, I, your younger brother, really can't go to Yanzhou with you."

Seeing that Lu Zhanxing was determined, Lu Zhanyan didn't want to force him. At most, he would come back to see them more often. "Okay, your sister-in-law is also here for confinement. I'll trouble you to take care of her."

"Don't worry, brother. We will take good care of sister-in-law and An An."

An An is the baby’s nickname, and his real name is Lu Chengyun.

Cheng: means to be able to shoulder great responsibilities, to be determined and have extraordinary perseverance. Yun: means fairness and impartiality.

It can be seen that the eldest brother has high hopes for this eldest son.

After talking to his elder brother for a while, and finally sending him away, Lu Zhanxing leaned back in his chair and cried, "Xu'er, Xiulan, please help me massage my waist, it hurts..."

The two maids quickly put down what they were doing and immediately started to massage their young master, saying that he had worked so hard.

next day

Lu Zhanxing straightened his body again and watched his elder brother, Xiao Lanjue and others leave.

Chu Yao and the child stayed in Xuzhou. After all, her eldest brother had a lot of things to do and might easily neglect them. It was safer for them to stay with their relatives.

As soon as his brother left, Lu Zhanxing said that he was going to visit the Great Yan Kingdom and would come back when the child was born.

Lu Jin disagreed: "Xianye is about to give birth, why are you still leaving?"

But Luo was uncharacteristically calm and said softly, "Master, you know that Xing'er is naturally active, and it's hard enough for her to be confined at home for so many days.

Men should go out more often to see the world. And you, Master, can also go out for a walk. I am here to take care of the household. Otherwise, when you are old, you won’t be able to go out even if you want to.”

Lu Jin: "..."

I am already an old man, where can I go by myself?

"Just spoil her, huh!"

After saying that, he turned his sleeves and left. If he didn't leave now, his wife would have to go on a long journey alone. The last time he rushed back to the capital, it almost cost him his life. Now he would not continue on this journey even if he was beaten to death.

After sending her own master away, Luo made a look at her son and said, "Do you think I'm so powerful?"

Lu Zhanxing rolled his eyes helplessly. If it wasn’t for having a baby, who would want to travel so far?

After returning to the yard, I discussed the details with my mother and we will keep each other informed when the time comes.

Luo said she understood, but soon she started to wipe away her tears again: "Son, it's all my fault. I made you suffer. You must be safe and sound!"

"Okay, mother, Liu Xu is here, your son will come back safely, and then you can just wait to hold your grandson or granddaughter!"

Mrs. Luo suddenly became excited again and nodded repeatedly with tears in her eyes.

Afterwards, Lu Zhanxing went to comfort Su Xianye again and just said that he was going to the capital to bring the child back.

Su Xianye gave some more instructions and said goodbye reluctantly.

Lu Zhanxing got on the carriage and said goodbye to her family. After the curtains were lowered, she collapsed exhausted in the soft carriage.

It is not easy to have a baby while deceiving your superiors and subordinates.

She swore that she only wanted this one in her life, and she would never have another one even if she was beaten to death...
