After a long time, the old doctor withdrew his hand, frowned and pondered for a moment, got up and walked in front of Lu Zhenting, bowed down and said, "Master Qiqi, Miss is fine, but in recent days, I have been nervous and tired, and I was suddenly stimulated. That's why I'm temporarily unconscious, and I'll wake up tomorrow at this time. ”

Lu Zhenting nodded slightly, and said politely: "That's good, it's so late, and I invited you here, I'm really sorry, I'll let the guards go back and rest." After speaking, he ordered the guards around him to send the old doctor out.

The old doctor didn't say anything, saluted Lu Zhenting, turned around and followed the guard out of Lu Manting's room.

Lu Zhenting glanced at Lu Manting on the bed, looked at Chen Suzhen again, and said in a low voice: "Suzhen, Steward Chen has just come back, and he has already heard some news from the palace, waiting in the main hall to report to me, let's go and listen to it together." With that, he turned and walked out.

Chen Suzhen nodded to Lu Zhenting, slowly stood up, instructed the maid ring beside her to stay and take care of Lu Manting, and followed Lu Zhenting to the main hall quickly.

When it was near, the subordinates in the house had already been instructed to quietly replace the red lanterns in the house and the word "Xi" posted everywhere. Xi Po was also inexplicably sent back, and the dowry was also carried back to the treasury of the Lu Guo Mansion.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and in a short time, the jubilant Lu Guogong Mansion was restored to its previous appearance.

In the main hall, Chen Jue stood under the hall, Lu Zhenting and Chen Suzhen sat on the main seat, twisting their eyebrows and listening to the news that Chen Jue brought back.

Chen Jue spoke rigorously, and did not add any speculation of his own, he pondered and said: "Master Qiqi, the slave went to see the second son of Chen in person, and the second son of Chen said that at three o'clock today, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess entered the palace and went to the palace to meet the emperor in the palace of Qinzheng. At that time, the emperor was talking to His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, and no one knew what they were talking about. Later, at about five o'clock in the morning, Master Lingyin asked to see the emperor, and after entering the Qinzheng Palace, it didn't take long for him to leave, and he was personally escorted back to Lingshan Temple by Commander Feng of the Yulin Army. Then there was news that the wedding of the Seven Princes was canceled and the altar was opened to worship the heavens. It didn't take long for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to come out of the Qinzheng Palace and go out of the palace to return to the eldest princess's mansion. His Royal Highness the Seven Princes is in the Seven Princes' Mansion at the moment, and the red lantern at the entrance of the Seven Princes' Mansion has also turned into a white lantern with the word 'sacrifice' written on it. ”

After listening to Chen Jue's words, Chen Suzhen frowned, looked at Lu Zhenting, and asked suspiciously, "Zhenting, whose sacrifice day is tomorrow?"

Lu Zhenting took a deep breath and sighed: "Actually, I have long known that there is something wrong with this matter, and I am worried that there will be variables. However, since it is the day set by the Queen Mother, we can't say anything. Tomorrow is General Feng's sacrifice day, although no one has mentioned it again over the years, but after all, the Seventh Prince is the great-grandson of General Fenglao, and it is indeed against heaven and humanity to choose this day to get married. I don't know if the Queen Mother forgot it, or on purpose, and when I saw that no one brought it up, I just didn't know. ”

When Chen Suzhen heard this, she also frowned, and said thoughtfully: "Could it be that it is because of this reason that the emperor suddenly changed his mind?"

Lu Zhenting shook his head slightly and said, "If it is only for this reason, the emperor will definitely not cancel the marriage between the Seventh Prince and Manting, but should reschedule it." However, now that the emperor has decreed the cancellation of their marriage, there must be other reasons. ”

Chen Suzhen nodded, and said with a straight face: "That's right, the emperor also announced at the Lantern Festival Palace banquet a few days ago that he would hold a grand wedding for the Seventh Prince and Manting in the State Banquet Palace, only two days later, but he decreed to cancel their marriage. If there was no important reason, the emperor would never have done such a backshit. What's more, my aunt will not sit idly by, and will definitely go to the emperor to theorize. If their marriage was canceled for this reason, my aunt would definitely do justice for Manting. ”

Lu Zhenting's face was solemn, he sighed, shook his head slowly, and said: "I'm afraid, in order to refuse this marriage, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince handed over the military talisman of the imperial army to the emperor, so in exchange for today's result." ”

Chen Suzhen was stunned for a while, unable to speak for a long time, if this is the case, I am afraid that something bad will happen. Over the years, the emperor has long been unaccustomed to what the Lu family has done, and if it were not for the support of the Queen Mother, the Guogong Mansion would not be where it is today. If the Queen Mother loses power, the emperor is afraid that the first one will be to take the Lu Guogong Mansion.

Lu Zhenting thought about it, instructed Chen Jue, and said: "Go and inform the second master, these days are more restrained, don't be caught by the imperial historians again, otherwise, even I can't protect him." ”

"Yes, sir. Chen Jue received the order, turned around and was about to walk outside the hall.

"No, I'm here. Lu Zhen walked in from outside the hall, his face was anxious, his steps were hurried, and his clothes were disheveled, and he looked like he had just come out of the quilt of a concubine.

Seeing that Lu Zhenwei had already come, and knowing that Lu Zhenting was going to admonish this uncompetitive younger brother again, Chen Jue quietly withdrew from the hall very consciously.

Lu Zhenting looked at his younger brother and reprimanded in a low voice: "Look at you, you are a lot old, what kind of system has you become? Your precious son also has the same virtue as you, so I will be thankful for adding a little less chaos to me." ”

Lu Zhenwei looked at his untied trouser belt, untied it again, and then raised his head and asked anxiously: "Big brother, sister-in-law, what happened? How did I hear that Man Ting's marriage was canceled by the emperor in Changle Fang?"

Lu Zhenting shook his head and said, "What is the reason, I have to wait for Adong to inquire about the news." After a pause, he frowned and reproached: "You drink in Changle Fang every day and look for women; Now the criminal department is staring at him, you father don't know discipline, you are really a veritable father and son!"

Lu Zhenwei didn't answer Lu Zhenting's words, and talked about the news he heard in Changle Fang today, and he said anxiously: "Big brother, I'll talk about these little things later." Do you know? It is said in Changle Fang that the emperor will not only take the civil and military officials to open the altar to worship the heavens tomorrow, but also allow the seven princes to take the people to pay tribute to General Feng in front of the Seven Princes' Mansion. Many people already know about it, and they are planning to go to the Seven Princes' Mansion together tomorrow. The people all said that the Seven Princes' martial arts and martial arts, etiquette and filial piety, and their military exploits in Fengnan City, should be appointed as the crown prince. ”

When Lu Zhenting heard this, he secretly said in his heart that the emperor not only canceled the marriage between the Seventh Prince and Lu Manting, but also built momentum for the Seventh Prince. Could it be that the emperor's heart is already biased towards the Seven Princes? Could it be that the position of the crown prince is to be obtained by the Seven Princes after all?
