Daming Wuhou

Lu Changting moved his butt off the stool with difficulty, stood up, and asked, "Where is the prince going?"

Zhu Biao forced a smile, and said: "The imperial doctor may not be able to heal. I thought to myself that I would have to start with Feng Shui, so I wanted to ask Changting to take a look..." Zhu Biao paused for a while. He glanced at the food on the table: "I didn't expect to disturb Chang Ting's meal."

Zhu Di lowered his eyes slightly and did not speak.

Zhu Biao realized that he did not come at the right time, and hurriedly said: "Changting, let's have dinner first, this matter... this matter is not urgent..." Of course Zhu Biao was anxious, but he knew that he could not impose this on Lu Lu. The reason behind Changting.

Only then did the gloom in Lu Changting's heart dissipate.

Of course he would not be hypocritical, or worried about offending the prince.Lu Changting returned to his seat graciously, and even asked Zhu Biao, "Can the prince have dinner?"

"I've used it." Zhu Biao asked someone to move a chair, and sat on the side like this, making a gesture of waiting.

The palace people were stunned.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just sat aside and waited for someone to eat? !

Mr. Lu actually asked His Royal Highness to wait for him for dinner? !

How could he still swallow the food without changing his face? !

For a while, the palace people felt that their brains were really not enough.

Seeing that Zhu Biao had stopped, Zhu Di continued to accompany Lu Changting for dinner with a calm expression.Because he had been hungry for a long time the day before and Lu Changting was growing his body, he ate this meal a little longer.

Zhu Biao showed great patience at this time, and waited until Lu Changting drank tea and rinsed his mouth before he asked aloud: "Are you full for Changting?" You are a good cook, Changting might as well go to the East Palace for dinner in the future."

Zhu Di was very unhappy when he heard this, and said calmly: "Tomorrow Changting will follow me back to the Yan Palace."

Zhu Biao showed regret, and wanted to say something, but finally stopped.

"Let's go." Lu Changting then stood up again.After eating enough, his temper improved a lot, and now he had the patience to continue worrying about Zhu Biao's affairs.

At this time Zhu Di was particularly unwilling to get involved with Lu Changting again, even Zhu Biao was vaguely aware of it.

Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Di, with a slightly embarrassed smile on his face.

Zhu Di quickly hid the expression on his face.

Lu Changting gently pushed Zhu Di from behind: "Fourth brother, you are blocking me."

The expression on Zhu Di's face suddenly became much softer, he gave a low "um" and then stepped out of the way.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Biao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but then a strange feeling arose in his heart, and he followed this strange feeling to search for it, but he couldn't find anything.Zhu Biao secretly sighed in his heart, because he has bothered too much in recent days, and his mind is confused...

Lu Changting and Zhu Di followed Zhu Biao, and soon left the hall.

The crowd of palace people behind him did not breathe a sigh of relief until this time, and when they came back to their senses, their backs were already drenched in sweat.

At this moment, those words are still echoing in their minds.

Mr. Lu is so... courageous!

The Crown Princess is different, so naturally she can no longer live in the East Palace. Emperor Hongwu is unwilling to gamble with the safety of his eldest son.So the Crown Princess was moved to another side hall, which was strictly guarded, and even the door of the side hall was tightly closed.

The former crown princess ended up like this.Lu Changting also wanted to know what caused the Lu family to such a degree.Now recalling the first time he met Lu Shi, Lu Changting felt as if it had been many years.

"His Royal Highness." The guard at the gate saluted Zhu Biao first, and then saw Lu Changting and Zhu Di behind him, and the guard frowned immediately.

Seeing the expression on the guard's face, Lu Changting suddenly felt unhappy.

Although he also guessed that this place must have been personally ordered by Emperor Hongwu, except for the prince, I am afraid that no one else can be allowed to visit... But even if it is ordered by the emperor, so what?As a subject, one should have the attitude of a subject.

Lu Changting gave the guard a cold sideways glance, and stood there without moving.

Anyway, it was Zhu Biao who came looking for him, so Zhu Biao would naturally negotiate, and there was no need for him and Zhu Di to give up their figures.

After all, Zhu Biao was also the prince of the East Palace, and the guards knew the importance of this prince in Emperor Hongwu's heart, so they didn't dare to really stop him.However, Zhu Biao's attitude at this time was rare, and after some negotiations, the guard finally took a step back.

"Please." The guard lowered his head and said in a firm tone.

Lu Changting swept across him coldly, and then followed Zhu Biao into the door.

As soon as he entered, Lu Changting couldn't help frowning.

Because it is a side hall, the lighting is naturally no better than the previous residence of the princess.Lu Changting has rarely experienced such a dimly lit residence.

The light was dim, and Lu Changting felt a stagnant air when he entered the door.

It was dark and out of breath.

Can such a place cure the "disease"?

Lu Changting turned his head to look at Zhu Biao, and Zhu Biao showed a slight anxiety on his face, which was obviously directed at the Lu family inside.But other than that, nothing else.Didn't Zhu Biao realize that the arrangement here is not good?

"Where is the princess?" Lu Changting asked aloud.

Zhu Biao walked in with big strides: "Rest inside."

Lu Changting stretched out his hand to grab him, and the eunuchs and maids accompanying him were startled by Lu Changting's sudden movement, and all looked at him in horror.

"Prince, wait."

At this time, Zhu Biao trusted Lu Changting very much, and Dang stopped without even thinking about it: "Changting, what's wrong?"

"How is the princess doing now?"

"Here...you go in and have a look..."

"I'm afraid she only wants to see the prince, but not anyone else. Why don't the prince go in first, and later... Let Changting go in alone, and the prince waits behind the screen, is that okay? After all, if the prince is by your side, No matter how much others say or do, the Crown Princess will probably not respond."

Zhu Biao suddenly remembered this when Lu Changting reminded him.

"Yes, what Changting said is..." Zhu Biao was concerned about the Lu family, and he said, "Then I'll go in and have a look."

"Well, Changting is here waiting for the prince." After saying that, Lu Changting stood still.

Perhaps Lu Changting's posture was too calm and confident, causing the eunuchs and maids beside Zhu Biao to look at him several times.

As soon as Zhu Biao left, Lu Changting turned his head and looked around the surrounding environment.

Obviously, as Zhu Di said, Emperor Hongwu didn't want the princess to be better.But if the princess leaves this place, she will die even faster.

However, although the dim light cannot be changed, it is possible to ventilate here.Good people can get sick without fresh air.

Lu Changting immediately beckoned the maid over.

The palace maid had long admired Lu Changting, and now she obeyed Lu Changting's order...but it was just opening a window, and it was not a big deal.The maid thought about it, and immediately followed Lu Changting's instructions.

When the window was opened and the stagnant air slowly returned to flow, Lu Changting felt that the depression gradually dissipated.

At this moment, someone came from outside the hall, and the footsteps were getting closer...

But the footsteps stopped soon, presumably stopped by the guards.Since he could be stopped, then of course it would not be Emperor Hong Wu who came.Lu Changting breathed a sigh of relief immediately.Otherwise, when Emperor Hongwu saw him here, he would naturally be reluctant to get angry with his beloved eldest son, and if he couldn't say it, he would blame him.Lu Changting was not afraid of Emperor Hongwu, but he was afraid that the impact on Zhu Di would be too great, making it difficult for Zhu Di to bear the head of the palace for a moment.

Gradually, there was an argument outside, and Lu Changting heard that there seemed to be a female voice inside.

Strange... Where did the female voice come from?

The argument grew louder.

Lu Changting heard the female voice say loudly: "I want to see the Crown Princess, I want to see her..."

The voice was so loud that Zhu Biao inside could hear it.

Zhu Biao came out from inside with a sullen face, and asked sharply, "Who is making noise outside?"

It was rare for the palace people to see Zhu Biao speak so harshly, they were startled and hurried out to have a look.

After a while, an eunuch came back, bowed and said, "His Royal Highness, for some reason, Mrs. Lu, the mother of the Crown Princess, has come..."

Zhu Biao frowned first, and then a look of guilt appeared on his face: "I am ashamed of the Lu family."

The eunuch did not dare to speak.The prince is kind, he just said something right and wrong, but which one of them would dare to make up?Even if it is too much, it is definitely not worthy of the name.This is the prince, Chu Jun!Can the Lu family afford it?

Zhu Biao paused there, but walked out anyway.

After a while, Zhu Biao brought the Lu family in as well.

The leader of the Lu family is a middle-aged woman with a kind face and ordinary facial features.And beside her was a younger woman with more prominent facial features, but the lines on the corners of this woman's mouth were darker, which made people feel a little bit sharp at first glance.Thinking about it, it was this woman who quarreled with the guard outside the door just now.

Zhu Biao looked at the kind woman, showing shame, and said: "Mrs. Lu, Yun'er is resting in it. Madam came to visit Yun'er?"

At this moment, Lu Changting felt his cuff being gently tugged, and then Zhu Di leaned into his ear, as if casually said: "How can Mrs. Lu come in..."

With Zhu Di's reminder, Lu Changting couldn't help but look at Mrs. Lu twice more.

Of course, not everyone can enter the palace, even if the princess is seriously "ill", they cannot enter without being summoned.Apart from this, it's all right, the matter of the crown princess's illness should be extremely secretive, why did the Lu family know about it?Unless...unless Emperor Hongwu revealed it intentionally and acquiesced to Lu's visit.

But what's the point?

Lu Changting couldn't quite figure it out.

Just as he was thinking, Lu Changting heard Mrs. Lu ask: "His Royal Highness, can I come in and have a look at the Crown Princess?"

Zhu Biao sighed lightly, and said, "Go." But when he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that there was Lu Changting behind him, Zhu Biao froze, and hurriedly turned to look at Lu Changting.

Lu Changting said: "Then let Madam Lu go first."

Mrs. Lu noticed Lu Changting only now, she turned her head to look at it, and frowned.

Lu Changting was aloof and did not make eye contact with Mrs. Lu.

It is estimated that Mrs. Lu was very unhappy with him at this time.How could her daughter meet outsiders?

Even if the prince is here, Mrs. Lu must be dissatisfied with Lu Changting.

So there is no need for Lu Changting to make eye contact with the other party to make it boring.

Mrs. Lu and the young woman behind her were led in by the maid, Zhu Biao didn't want to neglect Lu Changting, and hurriedly asked someone to put food and drink in the room, so that Lu Changting would not feel bored.

It's just that in such a place, Lu Changting really didn't have much appetite, so he only drank a few sips of tea.

Zhu Biao sat there, he had nothing to say for a while, and his face became faintly anxious.

Lu Changting suddenly stood up.

Zhu Biao was taken aback, and quickly asked, "What does Changting need?"

Lu Changting waved his hand: "Prince don't worry about me, I'll go behind the screen and listen..."

Zhu Biao just wanted to open his mouth to say that this was not in line with etiquette, but then he thought that Lu Changting was not someone who would mess around, maybe... maybe it was for the benefit of the princess?Zhu Biao finally swallowed the words that came to his lips, he nodded and said, "Go, come back if you are thirsty or hungry."

Lu Changting gave a low "um" and walked over very lightly.

If it was really written by Emperor Hongwu, then Mrs. Lu must have had a purpose in appearing here. As for the purpose, he didn't bother to think about it himself.How good it is to hide behind the screen and listen!

The palace people stared wide-eyed, watching Lu Changting hide behind the screen.

They all knew that Mr. Lu was a person whom the prince valued very much. Although they felt that Mr. Lu was too presumptuous at this time, even the prince hadn't said anything, so how could they dare to intervene?Naturally, they are all regarded as invisible.

Lu Changting didn't pay attention to the surprised eyes of the palace people, his attention was already attracted by the voice inside.

It was Mrs. Lu who was speaking, her voice was kind and gentle, and the former princess was quite similar to her.

"Yun'er, you are so sick." Mrs. Lu sighed, "Yun'er, mother can't take care of you anymore..."

Mrs. Lu talked about her difficulties in bits and pieces.

Lu Changting was stunned.

Let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about Mrs. Lu's sentence "You are so sick", where did Mrs. Lu see it?Although Mrs. Lu is weird, she doesn't have the slightest look of slumped and sick. If there is a comparison, it would be better to say that the crown prince looks more like a sick person.

So Mrs. Lu thinks that Mrs. Lu is sick because... what Emperor Hongwu said?

Lu Changting suppressed the speculation in his heart.

At this moment, Mrs. Lu said in a very low voice: "Yun'er, if you continue to be ill like this, it will only wear down the royal family's affection for you..."

Lu Changting frowned slightly, and gradually had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Since you are so ill, why not... why don't you hold on to the crown prince's guilt and love for you, and the royal family's honor and favor for you, just... go..."

Is this blatantly persuading the princess to die?

Lu Changting was stunned on the spot.

At this time, the young woman next to Mrs. Lu also spoke up: "Not to mention anything else, but for the Lu family... The Crown Princess has made trouble to the present, don't drag the Lu family into trouble."

Madam Lu wept softly, but she did not refute the young woman's words.

Lu Changting frowned even tighter.

Sure enough... is this the purpose of Emperor Hongwu?

It's really...cruel and cold.

Lu Changting has never experienced what it's like to be doted on by his parents, but if it's like the Lu family, then it's better not to.

The princess has been silent.

The young woman became a little anxious, and said in a hasty tone: "Crown princess! Do you have the heart to let the Lu family suffer? Don't you think about the grandson of the emperor? If you die, the prince will only be more grateful for you in the future Well...the Lu family can be preserved! The Crown Princess..."

Mrs. Lu cried even harder, but she still didn't interrupt.

After a long time, Lu Changting heard Lu's hoarse voice behind the screen: "...they came to force me to death."

Lu Changting was startled again.

This voice shed its weak shell and became hoarse and ugly, even a bit vicious and sharp.

If you don't know, just think that the person sitting opposite her is an enemy with a deep hatred like a sea.

Mrs. Lu and the young woman froze, perhaps she did not expect Mrs. Lu to say such a sentence.

That's right, the Lu family has always been weak and weak, how could there be such a side?

Madam Lu said with a trembling voice, "You...you are really very sick..."

The young woman also said: "What did the princess say? You have to think about your mother..."

"Shut up!" Lu said viciously: "You are just an aunt, how dare you act presumptuously in front of me! If I don't die, I will be the crown prince! If I call the crown prince in now...you will be thrown out immediately!"

"you!"

It turned out to be an aunt.Why is Mrs. Lu so spineless?Something happened to her daughter, yet she still brought an arrogant aunt into the palace... This is really...Compared to those who don't know, Madam Lu is the aunt, she is so weak and petty just now.

The Lu family couldn't stop when she opened her mouth, she whispered: "The Lu family? My mother? Just because of the Lu family and mother who only taught me to respect my husband, not to be jealous, and to be weak? I Where is the crown princess? The Lu family is the crown princess! This name is given to the Lu family! For the sake of this reputation, you wish you could teach me to submit to everything and be a cowardly and incompetent person..."

It turned out to be the case.

Lu Changting's eyes drooped slightly.

Why has Mrs. Lu always been weak and kind, because of Mrs. Lu’s precepts and deeds, but why has she changed her temper again, but is patient every day, and the seed of depression and resentment in her heart finally becomes a towering tree one day... in the eyes of everyone Come on, as the crown princess, she gave birth to the grandson of the emperor, and she was favored by the crown prince and valued by the emperor... What kind of honor and favor should be added to her body, how can such a person have the right to be angry and cruel?

Outsiders see all kinds of good things, but no one knows that Lu's heart is suffering, and it is not surprising that he has fallen into today's situation.

Here lies the source of all evil!At Lu's house!
