Reasoning, Yan Yan and Lu You don't have to worry about the next thing, but Yan Yan is still curious, she wants to know how Kong Ming Lantern reported the news that day, and whether the identity of Zhou Lu before was the Khitan prince.

If so, would he really be so righteous to save this prince? Isn't all he doing for the sake of this prince's wedding clothes?

It's a pity that Li Cong can't answer her these questions.

He could only tell her that his people had checked that an aunt and grandmother of the Zhou family had returned to the Zhou family while pregnant, and died not long after giving birth to a child, and the dead child was only three days older than this Zhou Lu, and three years later, this Zhou Lu was personally taken by the head of the Zhou family.

As for who gave birth to this child and who the father was, even the people of the Zhou family did not know.

Coming back from the palace, Yan Yan was still wondering whether Zhou Lu was the Khitan prince, why he spent a lot of effort to save the Khitan prince, and even put the Zhou family he raised in danger for him, and did not hesitate to let the people in the palace be infected with malaria.

This mind is too vicious, a proper white-eyed wolf.

Isn't this person really her time-traveling companion?

What Yan Yan didn't expect was that this question would soon be answered.

Just five or six days later, when Yan Yan was preparing for the birthday gift of the Queen Mother, Lu You hurriedly ran back, saying that he heard a rumor in the Ministry of Industry, and that Bingzhou and Jinyang were taken by the Khitans, and the Zhou family must have been rescued.

In this way, the identity of this Zhou Lu is also about to be revealed.

But the problem is that the Khitans are too fast, they have just taken Daizhou and Yanmen Pass, how long has it been, and Bingzhou and Jinyang have fallen into their hands, at this rate, won't the entire north of the Yellow River soon fall into the other party's pocket?

In this way, can the capital be saved?

When Yan Yan was hesitating to enter the palace to see the emperor, there was suddenly another bad news, saying that Lu Duan had been arrested by the Khitans, and the other party proposed to exchange Lu Duan for the Khitan prince and the two heads of the Zhou family.

When the news came, the entire court was in an uproar.

The focus of the problem is not the exchange between Lu Duan and the Khitan prince and the two heads of the Zhou family, but Lu Duan's arrest. You must know that Lu Duan is currently the best general in Da Zhou, and his capture means the loss of Baozhou and the direction of this war.

This is what worries Li Cong the most.

And the old lady Lu, who was a little better, fell ill again when she learned the news, and it is said that this time even the Zhu family fell ill, so the old lady on the sickbed sent Chunmian to send a letter to Yan Yan, hoping that Yan Yan could move back to live for a while and help take care of the Lu family.

But the problem is that Yan Yan herself is also a pregnant woman, she doesn't want to move back to make trouble for herself, who knows if Zhu and Yan Yu will take advantage of the chaos to do something to her, she has nowhere to regret going.

However, Yan Yan still took Lu You back to Lu's house together, and the two went to visit Mrs. Lu first, Mrs. Lu was lying on the kang, and there were only a few maids around her.

This time, the old lady was obviously not lightly ill, the whole person lost a lot of weight, her hair was a lot whiter, her eyes were blank, her eyes were daunted, and she looked a little out of shape.

Seeing Yan Yan and Lu You, he didn't speak, and two lines of tears came out, "Child, the Lu family, the Lu family, the Lu family is going to be defeated, your father was arrested, Erlang's life and death are uncertain, you, you two, no matter how wrong the Lu family is, but it is also your own family, child, at this time, you, you... ”

The old lady didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but was stopped by a violent cough.

Seeing this situation, Yan Yan's heart was also sour, she glanced at Lu You, Lu You pursed her lips tightly, and did not speak.

"Grandmother, don't worry, drink some water, this matter has not been decided in the end, my father may not have something to do, and the emperor will definitely consider it." Yan Yan had no choice but to persuade.

"Child, you, you entered the palace and saw the emperor, the emperor, the emperor, what do you say?" When the old lady heard Yan Yan mention the emperor, her eyes finally shone a little.

"Back to my grandmother, I haven't had time to enter the palace yet, grandmother rest assured, my father is a general, and the emperor will definitely consider it."

Mrs. Lu heard that Yan Yan was perfunctory to her, and two lines of tears flowed out again, "Our Lu family, our Lu family, do evil, since you sisters enter the door, our Lu family... ”

Yan Yan didn't like to hear this, "Grandmother, it was you who forced me to quit my family, and you were the ones who forced me to marry my husband, this will make your Lu family suffer, is it a bit unreasonable for you to push the responsibility on me?" ”

When the old lady heard this, she was about to refute, but a violent cough stopped her, and Chun Mian on the side hurriedly stepped forward to feed the old man some water to drink, and then knelt in front of Yan Yan and Lu You, "Back to the eldest prince and grandmother, the old lady is like this, don't force her, the old lady actually thinks about you a lot, and regrets that she ignored the eldest prince too much." ”

"Get up, this has nothing to do with you, I know, in fact, grandmother is also kept in the dark, and I can't blame grandmother." Yan Yan sighed and ordered Qing Glaze to help up Chunmian.

When the old lady heard what Yan Yan said, she was kept in the dark, and she couldn't blame her, and she quickly understood that Yan Yan was referring to the collision incident and the divorce incident back then, and she wanted to argue for Zhu and Lu Ming, but she felt that no matter what she said, Yan Yan would not believe her, so it was better not to say it.

"Child, regardless of the rights and wrongs of the year, I just want to say, no matter what, Da Lang, it was your father who was captured by the Khitan, so you don't want to think about how to save him?"

"Your old man thinks too highly of me." Lu You smiled mockingly and said the first thing after entering the door.

"You can't do it, but your daughter-in-law does." Zhu was helped by Yan Yu to come in from outside.

It turned out that these two people also heard the report from their subordinates, saying that Yan Yan and Lu You were here, and they couldn't wait for the two of them to see her, so they helped Yan Yu over first.

Yan Yan saw that Zhu's face was also sallow, his eyes were swollen like walnuts, and his hair was not very neat, so he should have just gotten up from bed.

"Mother, you are sick and should recuperate, and your daughter-in-law was going to be with your husband...

Without waiting for Yan Yan to finish speaking, Zhu stepped forward and grabbed Yan Yan's hand, crying and said: "Child, didn't you make a wish to the emperor at the beginning, if one day the emperor needs you, you will definitely take out your housekeeping skills to help him, child, now not only the emperor needs you to help him, our Lu family also needs you, child, you just look at this family's old, sick, pregnant, help us, woo... ”

Yan Yan was frightened by Zhu's words, she didn't expect the other party to be waiting for her.
