After Lu Zuo and Liu Xingyuan stood outside the firewood room for a while, Liu Xingyuan led Lu Zuo to the secret room, and the two sat opposite each other in the narrow secret room. Liu Xingyuan felt a little uncomfortable and nervous, because usually this place was a place where his father and the king's confidants had secret meetings, but now he was here behind his father's back and his second brother, talking with their henchmen here. Liu Xingyuan believes that the current Lu Zuo must trust and rely on himself very much, and he must have a way to help him get out of the predicament.

In the secret room, the dim candlelight flickered, as if Liu Xingyuan's uneasy heart at the moment, he looked at Lu Zuo with a nervous expression, and said sincerely: "Mr. Lu, I have always admired your personality and admired your intelligence. Now that it's come to this point, I'm willing to put my heart into your heart, I wonder if you'd like to listen? ”

Lu Zuo nodded solemnly, "If the eldest prince is willing to believe in Lu, then I am willing to sit with the eldest prince until dawn." ”

Liu Xingyuan smiled happily, and then continued: "I know that now that the crown prince has been abolished, as long as my father wakes up, the emperor will definitely crown my father as the crown prince, then this younger brother of mine will definitely have some ideas, and then I will become the biggest obstacle to my work. ”

"Does the eldest prince want to sit still? Or is it the Jedi Strikes Back? ”

Liu Xingyuan turned his head, pondered for a moment, and then resolutely continued: "The Jedi counterattack! ”

"Are you sure?" Lu Zuo asked deliberately.

Liu Xingyuan turned his head again, his red cheeks made him feel extremely embarrassed, his heart was down, he stood up and gave Lu Zuo a deep look, "Mr. Lu, Xingyuan knows that he is weak and weak, and he is shallow in learning. ”

Lu Zuo stood up unhurriedly, came to Liu Xingyuan, and helped him up, "The eldest prince is polite, I'm afraid that Lu will be dull ......"

Liu Xingyuan hurriedly interrupted: "Mr. Lu is very intelligent, the country is unparalleled, Xingyuan has long been clear, if you can get your help, Xingyuan is the luck of three lives!" ”

Only then did Lu reveal a sense of talent, clasped Liu Xingyuan's hand, and said excitedly: "If the eldest prince trusts Lu, I am willing to do my best......"

After greeting each other, the two sat opposite each other. Liu Xingyuan asked, "What does Mr. Fang Cai mean by 'Bloody Light Calamity'?" ”

"If it weren't as Lu expected, your younger brother Liu Xingzhi would attack you first in the next few days."

Liu Xingyuan was not surprised when he heard this, if he and Liu Xingzhi were just a prince, it would be fine, but if his father inherited the throne, then Liu Xingzhi would definitely not tolerate himself. Although Liu Xingyuan had expected it, he still felt a little sad, "This ......"

Lu Zuo continued: "If he is ambitious enough, he will definitely get rid of you at all costs, and may even do it to you tonight. ”

"Tonight?" Liu Xingyuan asked eagerly, because it was certain that his younger brother wanted to get rid of him, but there was no need to be so urgent, "Why ......?"

"I told Liu Xingzhi that King Ning must wake up tomorrow to deal with the queen's pillow wind blowing in the emperor's ear. And if King Ning wakes up tomorrow, then it is likely that King Ning will soon become the new crown prince, since the crown prince is already your father, then the next struggle will arise between Liu Xingzhi and you. Lu Zuo's index finger tapped on the table, bringing Liu Xingyuan, who was deep in thought, back to his senses, "Now I understand!" If I were Liu Xingzhi, I would also think that it would be safest to get rid of you before your father woke up. ”

Liu Xingyuan sighed helplessly, "It's not a secret, I also expected this day a long time ago, but I didn't expect him to be so anxious." Ay! Now I am also difficult to ride a tiger, but I was born in the emperor's family, and this battle at every moment reveals the ugliness of people's hearts. Liu Xingyuan came from sadness, staring at the candles on the table with a sad expression, as if the beautiful fragments of childhood and his younger brother were reflected in the candlelight, the past was vivid, and tears also welled up in his eyes, "Hey! I wish he were the same innocent child......"

Lu Zuo asked coldly: "Could it be that Liu Xingzhi will also be sad about the past at this moment?" ”

Liu Xingyuan was like an initiation, only then did he come back to his senses, gritted his teeth in his heart, and asked: "Then according to Mr., how should Xingyuan deal with it?" ”

"Preemptive strike!"

Liu Xingyuan and Lu Zuo discussed for a full hour, and only after the third watch drum did the two stop. After Liu Xingyuan said goodbye to Lu Zuo and went back, he paced back to the house alone, and just stepped through the door of the hanging flowers, there was a little guy behind him shouting: "Young master......"

Liu Xingyuan glanced back and asked with a grim face, "What's the matter?" ”

The little guy smiled flatteringly, ran to Liu Xingyuan in three or two steps, and said in a low voice: "Let the little one find it!" ”

Liu Xingyuan said suspiciously: "Looking for me? ”

"Exactly." The little guy replied, "It's big...... Oh! The little master is looking for you. ”

"Him!" Liu Xingyuan was stunned, as Mr. Lu expected, could it be that his younger brother really wanted to do it tonight? I suddenly felt a throbbing in my chest, but I still didn't want to face this matter so early, "What are you looking for me in the middle of the night?" You go back to him, and I'll talk about it tomorrow if there's anything going on. ”

"The little master said that he has something important to discuss with you, and he wants you to come and get an idea."

"Something important?" Liu Xingyuan was suspicious in his heart, knowing that his younger brother had always made his own opinions, how could he discuss with me on important matters, let alone talk about ideas, he must have been cheating. Liu Xingyuan held the small pill bottle given by Lu Zuo tightly in his hand and hesitated for a moment, his heart was down, but he still decided to go to the meeting, "What about others?" ”

The little guy smiled: "I'm waiting for you in the West Wing." ”

The little guy led the way, and the two of them walked through the inner courtyard one after the other, and came to the door of the west wing, and the little guy replied in a low voice: "People are invited!" ”

Liu Xingzhi was sitting at the round table in the wing room at this time, drinking tea alone, listening to the return of people, he was busy coming out to greet him, and enthusiastically stepped forward to greet his brother, "Big brother, my brother has been waiting for you for a long time." It's cold outside, come in! ”

Liu Xingyuan looked stunned, but he was helped into the house by his younger brother. Liu Xingyi helped his brother and instructed the little servant: "Go quickly, bring in the snacks prepared by Young Master Ben!" ”

The little servant answered, closed the door gently, and walked quietly.

After the two brothers sat down, Liu Xingyuan asked, "Okay!" Can't we wait for tomorrow to discuss what is important? ”

Liu Xingzhi: "Mr. Lu has already come at night, saying that the current situation has stabilized and can make my father wake up." I wonder if now that the situation is clear, should we start building momentum for our father and take the opportunity to get rid of ......" Liu Xingzhi said, his eyes showing a fierce light, "Liu Yan. ”

"This ......," Liu Xingyuan replied after hesitating for a moment, "Liu Yan has already been imprisoned, is it too much for us to get rid of him?" Moreover, if someone finds out, wouldn't it be a waste of rice to steal chickens? ”
