The soldier came to report: Marshal, General Hu is back and wants to see you.

Lu Shui retracted his gaze, looked back at the soldier, and said, "Let him wait in my room, and I'll be over in a moment."

The soldier clasped his hands into fists and bowed: Yes.

After the soldiers retreated, Lu Shui looked back at the city wall. The clusters of bandits came out again.

There was a camp in the city not far from the city wall, where most of the soldiers repaired. And on the edge of the tower near the city wall, the city guards have already made arrangements. As a marshal, Lu Shui has a private room, and when he needs to discuss military affairs, the soldiers can discuss in the nearest room, and when no one is around, they can take a short rest.

By the time Lu Shui arrived, Hu Guangwei was already sitting in the house waiting. At that time, when Lu Shui's father was a marshal, when he was forced into the city by the barbarians, it was in this room that he discussed whether to open the city gate to face the battle.

Hu Guangwei was dressed in civilian clothes and had not yet changed into armor. After waiting for a while, I heard the sound of footsteps, and looked out the door, sure enough, it was Lu Shui.

Lu Shui approached the house, and Hu Guangwei immediately got up.

Lu Shui said to the two soldiers standing outside the door: You go to the city wall to guard first, and then come back later.

After the others were gone, Lu Shui turned to Hu Guangwei, and before he could sit down, he asked: After you went back, did anything happen?

Hu Guangwei nodded and said: That letter is really true, something happened in the Lu Mansion on the night I arrived.

Hearing this, Lu Shui looked at Hu Guangwei with a solemn face.

Hu Guangwei continued: "Fortunately, I arrived in time, and the assassin did not succeed, but the marshal suffered some minor injuries. It shouldn't be a big deal.

After listening to the words, Lu Shui relaxed. Said: Sure enough, the situation in the court seems to be far more simple than I thought.

Hu Guangwei said: After talking to the marshal, the marshal did not seem to want to think deeply about this matter, and when asked who might act, the marshal also avoided talking about it, and only said that it was not good to speculate. Therefore, it must not be easy to find out who is behind the scenes.

Lu Shui laughed and said: Father is that kind of character, even if he knows who it is in his heart, he will not say it easily, unless there is a fact that others can't hide.

Hu Guangwei listened to it and felt that it was reasonable, and according to Prime Minister Lu's temperament, he would indeed do that.

Lu Shui continued: As for who would want to be the prime minister, it is self-evident. It's just that according to that person's nature, he will not blatantly send people to act, but since he did it once and did not achieve his goal, there may be a second time.

Speaking of this, Hu Guangwei said: You can rest assured. I talked to the emperor, and the emperor said that he would keep the Lu Mansion safe.

Lu Shuidao: So I'm relieved. By the way, what does the emperor think of this?

Hu Guangwei said: I told the emperor everything you said, and the emperor also felt that this matter was not simple.

Lu Shui nodded and said: That's fine, after all, we are not in the imperial city, if something happens temporarily, the emperor will be caught off guard.

Hu Guangwei nodded in agreement, and what Lu Shui said really had a deep meaning.

But Lu Shui didn't think much in his heart, who was the person who sent the letter? Why did he know about the assassination plan, and why did he have to tell him in the form of a letter instead of the people in the Lu Mansion? Compared with Lu Shui, who was on the expedition, it was obviously easier for the people from the Lu Mansion to pass on the news. And the people who want to kill his father, and there will be no one else but him.

Although he is not in the Lu Mansion, Yu Xuan has already said that he will keep the Lu Mansion safe, so he can not worry, as for the border side, what exactly those people want to do, it is not clear. The only thing we can do now is to wait and see what happens.

After seeing Chu Yun that time, Chengli returned to the Cold Hidden Palace. Fortunately, it was already late, and the lights in the cold palace had been completely extinguished. In the days that followed, Chengli kept looking for an opportunity to tell Qingqing without others knowing.

Just when Qixuan went to the office to get things and Dyezhi went to the kitchen to get food, Chengli came to the palace.

There was only one person in the hall, sitting in the main room behind the curtain and reading.

Chengli approached and called outside the curtain: Niangniang.

Something came from inside the house: Is it Chengli?

Chengli lifted the curtain, and at a glance, he saw that there was a window on the left, Qingqing was sitting on a chair in front of the window, with a coffee table in the middle, and a chair opposite, which was in pairs.

Qingqing put down the book, watched Chengli approach, and said with a slight smile: Come and sit down.

Chengli obediently sat down opposite Qingqing.

After sitting down, Qingqing first asked: Anyway, what do you have to say to me?

Chengli looked at Qingqing, did not hesitate, and said directly: I saw Chu Yun.

As soon as she heard that, the smile on Qingqing's face receded, her face turned cold, and she said: Is he looking for you?

Chengli was silent and lowered his eyes.

Seeing this, Qingqing asked: What did he tell you, no matter what I say, you are not allowed to reply, right?

After speaking, I saw Chengli raise his head and look at her. At this time, Qing Qing was even more convinced that Chu Yun had done this intentionally.

After thinking about it, Qingqing sneered: Since this is the case, I still want you to tell me that you have seen him. It's nothing more than trying to make my life difficult. Perhaps, that's what he's for.

From beginning to end, Chu Yun was deceiving and playing with her, Qingqing should have understood, but she couldn't bear to give up that meager affection. Now it seems that she is the only one who cares. And it's impossible to get the slightest affection from him.

But Qingqing understood that she had already been imprisoned, and she could no longer escape from Chu Yun.

Qingqing didn't want to say anything more, and after sending Chengli away, she looked at the fangs and claws in the backyard outside the window, thoughtful.

In Chaoxiang Palace, Zijuan held a letter in his hand, walked all the way from the palace gate to the palace, and handed the letter to Du Youlan, who was sitting in front of the dresser with her hair up.

Du Youlan looked sideways at Zijuan, took it from his hand, and unfolded it. The letter wrote: The Lu family is not in a hurry, the queen is important.

After reading it, he folded the letter again and put it back in the envelope, and said: What else did you say besides this letter?

Zijuan replied: "I didn't explain anything else.

Du Youlan said: Burn this letter.

Zijuan answered, took the letter from Du Youlan's hand, walked to the side, took out the red candle from the lantern, lit it, and brought the letter closer. Soon, the envelope burned.

Staring at the blackened envelope, Du Youlan thought about the sentence in the letter, "The Lu family is not in a hurry", which means that there is no hurry to deal with the Lu family, the Lu family refers to Lu Yun; the latter sentence "The queen is important", the queen refers to Ren Qingqing who lives in the cold palace, and what does "important" refer to? Could it be that the cold palace is to be dealt with first, and then Yi Juge?

After thinking about it a lot, Du Youlan still didn't understand that compared to Lu Yunlai, who had the prime minister as his father, was Ren Qingqing, who had been beaten into the cold palace, more important?

Although there are still doubts, for Du Youlan, receiving this letter from Prime Minister Du is more important than anything else. With Prime Minister Du's help, whether it is Xianyi Juge or Lengyou Palace, the master of this harem should be her. ()
