Fortunately, Lucyla didn't continue the previous topic, looked around, nodded, and said, "This place is good, my brother seems to really value you." ”

"Your Majesty has clear rewards and punishments, and has always treated his own people quite favorably." Zhang Hengdao.

Lucyla smiled noncommittally when she heard this, "I heard that you first solved the security problem in the southeast city, and then avoided the delay in the delivery of the bronze statue, which made my brother very happy." ”

"It's just my job."

"It's hard to say whether it's inside or not, but your ability is really good, and because of this, I wonder why you always look like you're shy away from me." Lucyla paused, "You know who I am, what I can give you, even something my brother can't give you." ”

Zhang Heng was silent when he heard this.

"Do you know what I'm most curious about?" Lucyla continued.

"I want to hear about it."

"You have to deny that you have approached my brother in order to gain power, because that night at the house of the patriarch Dior, you deliberately provoked Satonilos in order to get the attention of Commodus, which made me think for a while that you were not much different from other people who were close to my brother, but it is interesting that if this is the case, you should also find a way to get close to me, because having my friendship will undoubtedly be of great help to you for the rest of your political career, But you seem to be very negative in this matter. ”

Lucyla's eyes flashed with a gleam, "Either I'm ugly enough to make you sick, or I have to suspect that my judgment of you was not accurate in the first place, and that you approached my brother not for power, but for other purposes." ”

Zhang Heng's heart tightened when he heard this, he didn't expect this woman who seemed to be a little out of bounds to have such sharp eyes, indeed, Lucyla asked the core of the question.

If he really approached Commodus in order to get power, then Lucyla, who also had power, should also try to win the favor of the other party, but in fact, Zhang Heng approached Commodus in order to get close to Otrous from His Majesty the Emperor, and Lucyla had nothing to do with Aotrus, so Zhang Heng naturally didn't want to waste energy on her.

But fortunately, at this time, Zhang Heng's advantage of understanding history came into play.

After another moment of silence, Zhang Heng spoke, "Your beauty is famous in Rome, and no man can refuse your invitation...... As for why I dare not approach you, it is because I have heard rumors that your relationship with Your Majesty is not as good as everyone thinks. ”

Lucy raised her eyebrows, a little surprised, "Who told you this?" ”

However, after that, Zhang Heng closed his mouth, making it clear that he didn't want to answer this question.

Lucyla didn't delve into it, just put away the smile on her face, and said lightly, "Since you have entered this circle of power, you should know that there will never be a shortage of unfounded gossip here, these rumors are just tools for politicians to attack each other, I am Commodus's only remaining blood relative, how can it be unfavorable to my only brother, this is just Commodus's real enemy provoking the relationship between our sister and brother." ”

Zhang Heng bowed, "I've been taught, it's just that I am His Majesty's person after all, and I need to maintain loyalty to His Majesty, even if it's just rumors......"

Lucyla interrupted impatiently without waiting for him to finish, "You are very conscientious, and I am glad that my brother is finally a decent person, and there are no longer only hidden guys and villains who only compete for favor, in that case, then I will not disturb your loyal performance." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Heng took out the necklace that Lucy La gave him from his arms.

"You can keep this thing, I don't lack jewelry, and I never take back what I gave away."

After Lucyla finished speaking, she seemed to have lost interest in Zhang Heng, and turned around and walked out of the front hall with her guards, while Zhang Heng followed behind and respectfully sent Lucyla out of the door, until Lucyla walked to the street, but she stopped again, turned her head and threw a sentence to Zhang Heng, "Don't think that no one knows what you do, I will keep an eye on you." ”

Zhang Heng frowned, not understanding what Lucyla's last words meant, but the latter had already got into the carriage.

The little slave girl on the other side, seeing that everyone was gone, also ran down from the second floor and probed her brain.

"Is she the emperor's sister? Doesn't look like a good guy at all. ”

"Why do you say that, because she was going to let the guards push you away?" Zhang Heng asked, "Also, what did I tell you before, so that you don't have to do anything to block the door again, you don't know who will come." ”

"Then I can't let people into our house." The little slave girl said angrily.

"It's my home, I don't mind, what do you have to be angry about, if there is such a thing in the future, let the servants ask, and if you can't stop it, let people in, and you won't go to make fun again."

"Oh."

Zhang Heng saw that the little slave girl was still a little depressed, so he took out a gold coin and gave it to the latter and said, "Go to the tailor's shop and get back the clothes I ordered, I want to wear them for the dinner party in the evening, and by the way, use the money to order a set for myself." ”

"Are you going to a dinner party, in the palace?" The little slave girl is still very easy to coax, and after taking the gold coin, her mood suddenly improved again, and Zhang Heng also recently discovered that this guy is still a little money fan, and he likes to save money.

"Uh-huh, I've been a consultant for so long, and many of my colleagues haven't seen each other yet, so it's time to meet them." Zhang Heng said lightly.

…………

Lucyla's visit was just an accident, and the most important thing for Zhang Heng today was the upcoming dinner, which was Commodity's promise of a welcome banquet to welcome him into the political group around him, and according to Commodus, his advisors and some other die-hard supporters of the royal family would be present tonight.

And what Zhang Heng cares about most is of course Ortrus, who has been in sight before, Zhang Heng has not considered killing Otlus at the dinner, but he has an agreement with the priestess that before killing Otlus, he must first hand Otlus into the latter's hands for a period of time.

In this case, he will not be able to start at this dinner again, in addition, if Ortrus dies at the banquet, he will also have some trouble, although Zhang Heng has a certain degree of certainty that this matter will look like an accident, but as long as Ortrus dies, he will not be able to escape as the protagonist of tonight.

Zhang Heng still decided to hold his ground for now, use this opportunity to contact Aoterus, and then wait for the opportunity to find an opportunity to do it, and it is best to get rid of his own involvement.
