Three days later, General Fuyuan was buried in Taiwu Mountain.

Later generations recorded that when the bad news of the general came out, thousands of people gathered outside the gate of the general's mansion, and both men, women, and children wept bitterly. Lamenting the early death of heroes and the injustice of God. On the day of the funeral, tens of thousands of Shengjing people saw off more than 20 miles alone.

Looking at the Great Xia for decades, there are very few people who can get this honor.

In the evening, the sun sets. The afterglow fell on the blue-gray floor, stretching the shadow of the slave very long. Xinmei gently pushed open the door and crept in for fear of disturbing the plain-clothed woman leaning against the window.

She stood respectfully behind the slave and waited. Don't dare to make a single sound. She occasionally raised her eyes to look at the fourteen-year-old girl in front of her, her beauty gradually bloomed with age, her willow eyebrows that were not painted, and those deep and quiet eyes, all she saw was fragrant.

A slightly drunken wind blew in from the carved wooden window, and the silver lotus on the head shook gently. The slave's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her thoughts withdrew from the sky. She turned around and said lightly, "It's time to meet her." ”

"Who?" The new eyebrows look up.

Nu'er reached out and put his hand on Xinmei's hand, "Go to the drunken sky tower and have a look." ”

The East Wing at this time. Lu Sang lay down on the Luohan couch tiredly to take a nap, and Lu Yinhua sat on the round bench with a Su embroidery fan, fanning Lu Sang with no weight or lightness.

A pillar of incense burned out, and someone immediately replaced it with a new incense. Lu Yinhua stretched out his left hand and pinched Fan Feng's sore wrist. She was so tired that she could barely lift her hands, but she couldn't put it down, so she could only grit her teeth and hold on. Even if it's for the big brother.

Half an hour passed, and fine sweat appeared on Lu Yinhua's forehead. The fan shook again and again, and her entire arm was no longer strong, as if she had lost consciousness.

Just when she almost couldn't hold the fan, Lu Sang, who was closing her eyes and recuperating, said quietly, "Thank you for your hard work." Let the next person fan. ”

"Auntie, what are you talking about? Yinhua is your niece, and helping you shake the fan is also a filial piety. Although he said this, the hand holding the fan had already been withdrawn. Mengsheng saw that his master was affected, and when he saw this, he immediately took the fan with his hands and feet.

Lu Sang sat up, and Yinhua thoughtfully placed the porcelain pillow behind Lu Sang's back. Lu Sang didn't know where Lu Yinhua's filial piety came from. She smiled and said, "Now that your father is gone, fortunately, Your Majesty has set a marriage contract between you and His Royal Highness Six." That's what makes me feel a little more relaxed. ”

"The Sixth Highness is outstanding, and Yinhua can get this marriage is also a blessing that I have cultivated in several lifetimes." Lu Yinhua said with a smile, and then said with some sadness, "Daddy died, and there are few men in the house. Yinhua was afraid that the glory of the General's Mansion would also slowly decline. I don't know if there is any way to keep the lintel of the glory of the Lu family. ”

"The second brother is brave and fearless, and so is his son. Ming Wu has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has also galloped on the battlefield for several years, and has made small achievements. In the DPRK, he can be regarded as a promising seedling. Bengong looked, it was very suitable for the second brother to pass on the title of Marquis Jian'an to him. Lu Sang said lightly.

These words are in Lu Yinhua's arms. Lu Yinhua suppressed the secret joy in his heart, frowned slightly, and said with some embarrassment, "That being said, that's the case. It's just that in the end, my brother and I are only half of the descendants now. The sixth brother reads poetry and books, presumably also wants to inherit the glory. ”

Lu Sang chuckled, "It's just a concubine, what can you do if you read poetry and books?" Can you kill enemies on the battlefield? In this palace, only my nephew Lu Mingwu is the most popular in my heart. The title of Marquis of Jian'an, the palace naturally wants to help him keep it. ”

"A year later, you will marry the Sixth Highness and become the noble Sixth Princess. My dear niece, don't forget your aunt's affection for your brother and sister. ”

Lu Yinhua said firmly, "Auntie's kindness, Yinhua and my brother will remember it in their hearts." In the future, my aunt will say a word, and our brothers and sisters will do our best to fulfill my aunt's trust. ”

Lu Sang's willingness to recommend Lu Mingwu was entirely because of the marriage contract between Lu Yinhua and the Sixth Prince. The king of Huainan in the court seems to be neutral, but in fact, he is holding the banner of the six princes behind his back. The marriage contract set by the Holy Chrysostom Yuyan is a certainty, and of course Lu Sang wants to take advantage of the present to win over the future Sixth Emperor Princess.

Night falls.

There were two people sitting in the room on the third floor of the Drunken Sky Tower. The plain-clothed woman sat facing east and west, and a gorgeous woman in purple sat beside the plain-clothed woman facing south, facing north, with her hands folded and sitting in a regular manner, which obviously did not match the gorgeous makeup and bright clothes on her face.

This Su Yiyan is Nu'er and Bai Shuang.

"How has the county lord been in the palace in the past two years? Have you ever been wronged? Bai Shuang asked eagerly.

Nu'er took a sip of tea, and then slowly spoke, "Your Majesty treats me very well, you don't have to worry." The slave put down the teacup and continued to ask, "What's going on here?" ”

"Within two years, there were a total of 58 spies in the Drunken Sky Tower, of which 25 were important spies. There are two new strategists and two capable people in the rivers and lakes, one is good at disguise medical skills, and the other is good at martial arts. In the past two years, in addition to spending capital, Zuixiaolou also earned 50,000 taels of silver. The slave and maid are already in your account. ”

The slave's index knuckles tapped rhythmically on the tabletop, landing on the white ears with no light or weight. Bai Shuang's words changed, "In the past two years, the son has also been very diligent. Not only did he read poetry and books hard, but he also got up before dawn every day to practice martial arts. I have grown a lot, and I have not given birth to other thoughts. As for Mr. Xu Boyong, the slave maid guaranteed him the opportunity to meet his son every year. He also raised his son well. He was faithful in his work. ”

The slave hummed with satisfaction. She thought for a moment, and then said quietly, "I have been living in the palace for the past two years, and I have handed over all the authority of the Drunken Sky Tower to you. Today is the time to truly test the ability of the drunken sky. Within an hour, I will know all the information about the King of Huainan. ”

"Yes." Bai Shuang walked to the door and beckoned, and two figures flashed out of nowhere. They came out in black night clothes, with their faces covered, and only one pair of eyes were exposed. I saw Bai Shuang whispering to them. They disappeared again at once.

Half an hour later, there was a knock at the door.

This time it was a delicate woman. She placed an envelope in her white hands and withdrew it with a sense of humor.

"County Lord, all the news of King Huainan is here." Bai Shuang handed the envelope to Nu'er and said, "This King of Huainan is very hidden. On the surface, he seems to be neutral, but in fact, he is the person of the Six Princes, who helps the Six Princes launder money and cast weapons behind his back. The slaves and maids watched as they stocked up on grain and grass, forged weapons, and prepared money. This is to prepare for a rebellion! ”

"Rebellion?" Nu'er snorted lightly, "Does the Sixth Prince have the guts?" At least now he doesn't dare. ”

"Hey, what is this?" Bai Shuang asked, pointing to a totem in the envelope. She thought for a moment and said with some uncertainty, "It seems to be the totem of the barbarian army." ”

"I'm afraid these things he prepared are going to come in handy when the prince goes on his expedition." Nu'er said thoughtfully. After all, now that the emperor is in his prime, it is impossible for the six princes to rebel. And he prepared no more soldiers and horses, enough to kill the prince when he was out on a campaign.

If Nu'er guessed correctly, the method of the six princes was to let these soldiers and horses pretend to be barbarians and blend into the battlefield when the two armies were fighting. Let the prince's belly and back be attacked by the enemy, and it will be difficult to escape.

And the material conditions of this plan were all prepared by the king of Huainan. In fact, she is not interested in the dispute between the crown prince and the six princes. In other words, she is now with the Eighth Prince, and if she wants to protect the Eighth Prince, the only way to protect the Eighth Prince is to let the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince fight, so that they will not have the spare strength to take care of the Eighth Prince.

The slave closed the letter. As if unintentionally, he asked, "Is there any news from the Eldest Princess's Mansion?"

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess does not make any changes except for enjoying the flowers and visiting the garden every day. However, Chen Eying, the daughter of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, once said at a banquet that she was the future sixth princess. Everyone thought that she was in love with the Six Princes and was stimulated, but the eyeliner said that Miss Chen had a nose and eyes, and it didn't look like a fake. After all, her mother is the emperor's own sister, so she is naturally towards Miss Chen. ”

"The Six Princes are really in demand." The slave muttered.

Her purpose is very simple, she only needs Tong'an to get the title of Marquis of Jian'an. What the six princesses let them fight for.

"You continue to keep an eye on what is going on here." The slave had just taken two steps and suddenly turned back. She took Bai Shuang's hand and said with a serious expression, "Don't call yourself a slave in the future." I said you weren't my subordinate. You are Aunt Bai. ”

Bai Shuang's eyes moved slightly. The slave's Aunt Bai won her lifelong loyalty.

Nu'er hurriedly left a note and handed it to Bai Shuang, instructing her to be sure to hand it over to Xu Boyong. Then he hurried back to the mansion with his new eyebrows. Early tomorrow morning, Lu Sang and Lu Wen's letters of recommendation will be sent to the palace. The slave must see Lu Sang tonight.

In the east wing, Lu Sang's personal maid was about to pick out the wick. Unexpectedly, a voice came from outside, "Princess Niangniang, Lord Mingjia asks to see you." ”

Lu Sang refused without thinking about it, "I don't see it." ”

The usual person hesitated for a moment and then said, "The county lord said that there is something important to report." The stakes are very high, and the prince is involved. ”

"I'd like to see what she can do to implicate the prince." Lu Sang muttered to himself, and then raised his voice and said, "Let her in." ”

"Aunt Princess, is she feeling better?" The slave asked softly.

Lu Sang was not interested in this niece of the county lord who was not born high, she said coldly, "If you come to me for the matter of the Marquis of Jian'an, it is useless. There is already a candidate in the heart of this palace. Won't change for anyone, I'm afraid you've come here in vain. ”

"Can't you change it for the sake of the prince?" The slave looked at Lu Sang with a smile and said.

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Lu Sang was a little unsure of the slave's purpose.

"I'm really here to give the title to whom. But I didn't plan to ask the princess. ”

"King Huainan privately cast weapons for the Sixth Highness, offered silver and two grains and grass, and also trained a group of soldiers. Do you know what the purpose is?" Nu'er asked with a smile.

Lu Sang couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, and said expressionlessly, "I don't understand what you said. ”

"It's for ......"

"Tai, son." The two words came out of the slave's mouth lightly, but it was like a thunderbolt that broke Lu Sang's psychological defense. Nu'er continued, "You recommended Lu Mingwu to entrap Lu Yinhua, the future Sixth Imperial Princess. But my aunt didn't know that the real sixth princess was Chen Eying, the only daughter of the eldest princess! My sister is just a pretense, and once her father dies, she will not be worthy of the six princes. Pushing her to the surface is just to block the arrow for Miss Chen. ”

"And I am the queen set by the emperor. Doesn't my aunt want to leave a way back for my uncle? I think my aunt must know what is at stake. Therefore, who should the title of Marquis of Jian'an be given, my aunt must be clear. ”

Nu'er smiled, "Sixth son Lu Tongan is my younger brother. Please also remember to take care of it. ”

After that, Nu'er didn't wait for Lu Sang to answer, and left slowly and leisurely with someone.

Another sleepless night.
