When Zhou Lu came out of the Xinuan Pavilion and stood in front of the Xuanzheng Palace, he still thought of Emperor Yuan Cheng's sentence just now, "Kill with a cane." ”

As soon as the wind blew, the snowflakes hit him in the face violently, making him shiver violently.

"Someone."

Zhou Lu opened his mouth and called.

Xiao Linzi, the little eunuch next to him, hurriedly came up and said respectfully, "Father-in-law Zhou." ”

"If the decree continues, the internal officials and supervisors will not be able to do anything, and the eunuchs will be given a cane."

Xiao Linzi's face changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly whispered: "Father-in-law Zhou, the internal officials and supervisors have always handled things properly, why did you suddenly take the blame on Your Majesty this time?" And it is common to do wrong errands, that is, dozens of boards, how can you directly die this time? ”

Zhou Lu was silent for a moment and said, "Who asked them to send the chessboard, and injured His Majesty's dragon body." ”

There is only one chessboard in the Pavilion of Xinuan.

He has also seen the chessboard with warm jade as the plate and the glass as the child.

Xiao Linzi is delicate and delicate, although he is thin and small, but his appearance is delicate, and his eyes widened when he heard this, and he was stunned: "But that chessboard..."

When the chessboard was sent a few days ago, it was praised by His Majesty, saying that the gold-inlaid jade plate took a lot of effort, praised the internal officials and supervisors for their poor intentions, and rewarded them with silver.

Zhou Lu also knew what Xiao Linzi was thinking, and without waiting for him to speak, he directly interrupted:

"It's nothing good, in this palace, Your Majesty will be heavenly, and if heaven wants to condemn the crime, he never asks the reason."

While speaking, Zhou Lu glanced at Xiao Linzi coldly: "You have been with the miscellaneous family for so many years, don't you still understand the way of survival in the palace?" Don't be careful, don't ask, if you can't control your mouth, no one can protect you! ”

Xiao Linzi suddenly shuddered, knowing that Zhou Lu was blaming him for talking too much just now, and said with a pale face: "It's the slave who talks a lot, and the father-in-law atone for his sins." ”

Seeing this, Zhou Lu wanted to teach him a few words, but when he looked up, he saw someone coming towards him, so he had to change his words and said: "Go and do the errand, and then go to the inner court to supervise the ten boards, and have a long memory." ”

Xiao Linzi didn't dare to beg for mercy, he knew Zhou Lu's temper, and these ten boards were already merciful, so he hurriedly whispered: "The slave will go." ”

Zhou Lu watched the little eunuch leave, so he straightened his sleeves, restrained the chaotic thoughts in his heart, and greeted him with the usual smile on his face.

"The minion has seen the Third Highness."

Li Guangyan hurriedly half-supported Zhou Lu's hand, who wanted to kneel, and stopped him from saluting: "Father-in-law Zhou doesn't need to be polite. ”

Zhou Lu didn't kneel, so he also took advantage of the situation to stand up, and said with a smile: "Why did Your Highness come over?" ”

"I'm here to see my father."

Li Guangyan said: "I heard about today's Dali Temple, and I know that the king has entered the palace......

He paused, raised his eyes to look at Zhou Lu and asked, "Father, is he okay?" ”

Zhou Lu glanced at Li Guangyan when he heard this, restrained the smile on his face, and said, "This is in the palace, Your Majesty is naturally good." ”

Li Guangyan heard the words and held Zhou Lu in vain, and when his hands were separated, he put something in Zhou Lu's hands.

Zhou Lu was stunned at first, holding the intention of warmth in his hand, he looked up at Li Guangyan, who had a gentle appearance, and frowned: "Third Highness? ”

"I'm just worried about my father."

Li Guangyan's eyes were gentle: "When he was in the paddock, the king had a dispute with his father, and after returning to Beijing, he didn't enter the palace for a long time. ”
