Volume 1: The Palace's Fortune Chapter 5: Shangguan Zimo
The remaining people of the Great Viet Kingdom are very loyal, and they know that they are the last hope of the country, so they are willing to do their best for this ruined country.
When the country is strong, they enjoy the country's share, and when the country is ruined, they use all their strength to defend the country, and they also go to great lengths to protect the king who has been caught.
Lu Ziyue is their leader at such an important moment, so she puts her order in the first place to do it, and as soon as she hears the news that she wants to be the king of Zhenbei, she naturally inquires.
Ah Pei was sent to Dali Temple for investigation, and Shen Xie also sent a person to serve her as he said, named Mu Hua, who was a very capable maid by Shen Xie's side.
"The slave has seen the princess." Mu Hua was holding a plate of delicate and small pastries in her hand, the curvature of her lips seemed to have been calculated, she was respectful and detached, "This is the pastry that the prince asked the slave to send, and it was specially made for the princess in the kitchen." ”
Lu Ziyue looked at her smile without any emotion and felt quite ironic.
Shen Xie is busy being the emperor now, and the trivial affairs of the six departments have made him busy living in the study all day, how can he have time to take care of himself?
Maybe he is discussing state affairs with some official right now, and this man is ruthless and will not take anyone to heart.
But Lu Ziyue knew in her heart that she had to pretend to be obedient now, otherwise Shen Cheng would not let her guard down, and maybe her recklessness would make things more complicated.
So she smiled and motioned to Mu Hua to put the pastry on the table, and she fiddled with the beads on the bracelet: "Help me thank the prince, thank you for taking time out of his busy schedule to care about the concubine." ”
After speaking, she smiled and used her hand to get the pastry, as soon as she stretched it out, Mu Hua's face changed, she wanted to reach out to stop Lu Ziyue's actions, but she remembered what Shen Xie said to her before, so she resisted the impulse, and continued to hang with a smile, but it was a little more stiff than before.
"What does the princess think?"
"Okay." Lu Ziyue didn't seem to see the expression on her face, and after eating the pastry in her mouth, she put her hands on her cheeks: "Mu Hua, you can wait for me to take a nap." ”
Mu Hua nodded.
So Lu Ziyue took off her coat under her service, and she stepped back a few steps and saluted: "The prince said that the princess doesn't like others to serve her when she takes a nap, and the slave will come to call the princess after half an hour." ”
After saying that, Mu Hua went out and closed the door.
There was no movement outside the door at all, and Lu Ziyue got up from the bed, and at this time, a woman who looked the same as her came out from behind the screen, and even the temperament between gestures was exactly the same.
"Where did you make an appointment?"
Lu Ziyue put on a set of plain clothes next to the woman, and she put on a mask and tied a cloak.
When the woman heard this, she said, "In a teahouse not far from the palace, after the princess went out of the window, Lin Yi would lead the way for the princess. After the woman finished speaking, she lay on the bed where Lu Ziyue was lying just now.
She suppressed her voice: "The princess should come back as soon as possible, and I will guard you here." ”
"Okay." Lu Ziyue nodded, she went around the side of the bed behind the screen, at this time the window was open, and there was a little guard with low eyebrows outside, she jumped out of the window and fell next to the little guard, at this moment the little guard raised his head and showed a smiling face, he said with a smile: "Everything is handled for you princess, the regent went to the military department today, and he is not in a hurry to come back." ”
Lu Ziyue knew that their news was reliable, so he nodded: "Without further ado, we will go to Shangguan Zimo now, Shen Xie is in the military department, and he will not contact Shangguan Zimo for the time being." ”
Even though Lu Ziyue doesn't care much about the affairs of the court, as a princess, she is no stranger to the six departments.
Lin Yi also understood that the matter was urgent, so he didn't talk nonsense anymore, and directly led Lu Ziyue to the back door of the Regent's Mansion.
"The back door of the Regent's Mansion is closed on weekdays, and the Regent Shen Xie doesn't like that there are multiple exits in the palace, so this back door is also an ornament, but he didn't order the door to be sealed, but specially sent someone to guard it here, but the people guarding the door are all good men from our Dayue Kingdom, and the princess can use this back door to enter and exit if she has something in the future."
Lu Ziyue was a little puzzled when he listened to what he said, Shen Xie is a very careful person, he handles all the big and small things of a country very well, and does not let go of any problem that will have a bad impact on the country, why is he so confused this time, he doesn't even know that the person guarding the door is not from Shen Guo.
She has some emptiness in her heart, and she always feels that something bad will happen.
But Lin Yi soon took her to the agreed teahouse.
There was no one in the teahouse, including Xiao Er and the boss, and no one greeted Lu Ziyue, Lin Yi was not qualified to follow Lu Ziyue at this time, so he found a shop next to the teahouse to eat, just paying attention to the movement here while eating.
Lu Ziyue slowly walked up to the second floor of the teahouse, she saw a man in ink clothes sitting by the window, the man was holding a bowl of steaming tea in his hand, heard movement behind him, turned his head defensively, he saw that it was Lu Ziyue, his eyes softened for a moment, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, and pointed to the position opposite him: "Ah Yue, long time no see." ”
Shangguan Zimo's voice was very clear, and falling into Lu Ziyue's ears made her eyes have an urge to moisten.
Lu Ziyue walked to the position opposite him and sat down, her lips moved slightly, and finally pulled out a smile: "I have something to ask you." ”
"Between you and me, you don't have to say any thanks."
Shangguan Zimo drank all the tea in his hand, he put down the tea bowl, and Lu Ziyue's face was reflected in a pair of bright eyes: "I said, you and I are friends, I am a general who leads troops to fight, there are principles in everything I do, and it is my principle to do my best for my friends." ”
After he finished speaking, he saw that Lu Ziyue had tears flowing out of his eyes, and sighed and wiped away the tears for her: "Ah Yue, you are the princess of Dayue Kingdom, you can't always let people see your weak side, your father and mother are still waiting for you to save your life, you have to be stronger, when I came today, I asked my people to go to the prison to see your parents, although they are in prison now, the regent did not treat them badly, the daily food is very good, and can meet their requirements for food and accommodation." ”
Shangguan Zimo originally wanted to settle the matter of her parents before meeting Lu Ziyue, but after his general brought the news, he remained silent, and he couldn't see Shen Xie's action clearly, and he didn't know what his idea was.
