Saying the doubts in their hearts, the Chang brothers all looked surprised. Chang Maodang, who was anxious, shouted: "Come on, come on, prepare the horse!" Go get my armor! ”

"What does Big Brother Chang want?" Zhu Su hurriedly grabbed Chang Mao.

"What else? Of course, I went to twist the dog head of Lu Ben, a big turban! Chang Mao said angrily. Dare to calculate our old Chang family...... If you don't give him some power, how can we and our second brother gain a foothold in Daming? ”

"Brother Chang is not impulsive." Zhu Su dragged him back to his seat. "After all, it's just empty speculation, and there is no actual evidence, how can you kill people in such a fit of rage?"

"And Lu Ben is still an official of the imperial court, and the Son of Heaven will kill the official at will, such a crime, I am afraid that it will cancel out all the achievements made by Brother Chang in the past."

"At this time, it is better to take it step by step, if you really find out, it is not too late to report to your father and the emperor for disposal."

“…… This is also infuriating! Chang Mao was depressed.

Chang Sheng is no longer lifeless. If someone really is plotting, he must find this person out before he is resigned. His eyes glanced at the concubine Lu Shi who was trembling on the side, and suddenly shouted: "! Say! What does the Lu family want you to do? How exactly do they want to plot against Lao Tzu? ”

The concubine was broken by the young prince's origin in the Lu family, and she was feeling uneasy, and suddenly she heard this loud shout again, and she was about to faint when she saw this, only to hear that the prince had said coldly: "If you are willing to explain honestly, there is still a way to live." This king is impatient, if you don't say it during the tea time, this king will send you to Yingzhou as a prostitute. ”

"Yingzhou women now admire my Ming soldier's demeanor and spurn Yingzhou men. As a result, all the men in Yingzhou are difficult to marry, and they are all hungry and thirsty. If you can send a few prisoners to Yingzhou...... Hehe, they will definitely thank me for my kindness. ”

The concubine was so frightened that she didn't dare to faint. Although she is just a deep girl, she also knows where "Yingzhou" is. To put it bluntly, isn't it the former Wa Kingdom? I heard that the men of the Japanese Kingdom were all short, obscene, and rude, just like the apes in the mountains. If she is a Chinese woman, if she is destined to those Japanese men...... Thinking of this, she was full of excitement, and she only felt that if that was the case, it would be better to die directly.

"Back to ...... Back to His Royal Highness, the concubine, the concubine and the Lu family do often have correspondence...... "I was frightened in my heart, and I naturally became much more honest when I spoke." "But...... But it's mostly just talking about family life, and there is nothing to plan the master! ”

"Don't take the letter yet!" Chang Sheng drank angrily.

The concubine didn't dare to disobey, so she hurriedly stumbled out, and after a while, she took a box, opened it and saw that it was densely packed with family letters, and Zhu Su smiled when she saw it: "Heh, this Lu family values sibling affection enough." It's just a side branch, but it's worth such a close relationship. ”

You must know that at this time, it is not easy to deliver letters between Shandong and Yingtian, and even if there are a few private express shops, they often ask for a lot of money. is so attentive to a side branch who is a concubine, and even spends a lot of money to maintain contact......

This made Zhu Su even more convinced that Lu Ben did have some non-trivial thoughts.

Zhu Su and the Chang brothers read those letters one by one, most of these letters were sent by Lu Ben's only daughter, but the content was indeed as the concubine surnamed Lu said, there was nothing strange about it, it was just gossip. Zhu Su did see the sentence "I heard that Qingshui Village in the suburbs of Beijing is beautiful, there are many talented and beautiful people coming and going, and now I am in Shandong with my family, and I really yearn for the style of the capital", but that's all, and there is no leakage of any flaws.

"You and Miss Lu Langzhong's mansion have had a friendship in the past?" Zhu Su asked.

"Back to ...... Back to His Royal Highness, when the concubine was in the boudoir, she was not blessed to be able to befriend the main lady, but after entering the Changfu, the main lady often took the initiative to write letters. ”

"The concubine heard that the young lady of the main family may be the side concubine of the prince, so she also ...... Also intentionally clinging to ......"

"The crown princess? I want to blind her! Chang Mao scolded when he heard it. The crown princess is the sister of our old Chang family, you marry the second child of my Chang family as a concubine, and you still need to cling to others? ”

"It can be seen that it is also black-hearted!"

The concubine surnamed Lu looked aggrieved. Although he married the Chang family, he was just a concubine after all, and if he wanted to cling to the Chang family and marry the eldest lady of the crown prince, it was obviously not qualified enough.

"Where did you hear that she might be the crown prince's concubine?" Zhu Su frowned. The old Zhu family really wanted to select a side concubine for Zhu Biao in the past, but because Zhu Su said about Zhu Yunwen, he extinguished this idea. At that time, Lu Ben's daughter Lu Shi was indeed in the eyes of Lao Zhu and his wife, but this matter should have been known only to the royal family and a very small number of people. This woman is just a concubine, where did she learn about this?

"This ...... This is a rumor on the street that the crown princess cannot have children, and it has been many years since she gave birth to the imperial grandson, but she has never come out again. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will inevitably accept another side concubine, and if he accepts a side concubine, Miss Lu is virtuous and virtuous, and has a good reputation in Beijing, so she is the best choice......" The concubine stumbled and explained.

"Fart!" Chang Mao is already the smoke of the seven orifices of qi. Rising is also angry. The Chang family is his sister-in-law, and now the concubine in the Chang family's mansion is actually slandering the eldest lady who went out of the Chang family for not being able to have children...... Chang Sheng stepped forward and kicked his concubine down, scolding: "What a cheap maid, you dare to slander my sister!" Even if Your Highness forgives you today, I will not spare you! ”

Even Zhu Xiongying, who had always sat beside Zhu Su and silently observed Zhu Su's trial with wide eyes, also blushed angrily: "You are not allowed to talk about my mother like that!" My mother is not sick! ”

"Xiongying, do people say that about sister-in-law on weekdays?" Zhu Su was keenly aware of the abnormality in his little nephew's words.

"Well, when some old gentlemen with beards come to look for their father, they always say that their mother is sick. They always persuaded their father to take a side concubine, saying that in this way they could give birth to a younger brother to Xiongying......"

Zhu Su heard what he said, the prince is the foundation of the country, the so-called heavenly family is selfless, and the prince's heirs are not prosperous, so naturally there will be people to advise and make noise. It's just that Zhu Su didn't expect that this matter had reached the point where rumors spread that the Chang family was not good for the heirs. He knew that in fact, Zhu Biao was distressed about Chang's body, after all, Chang's untimely death in history, and now he gave birth to Zhu Xiongying early, which also hurt a lot of origins. Zhu Biao took pity on his wife, thinking that the two of them were also young, and now they are only in their twenties, and it doesn't hurt to have a second son later. said that Chang's inability to have children was categorically untrue.

Now that I listen to these nosy rumors, I can't help but feel a little funny.

just laughed, and suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but be shocked: If the Chang family is really unable to have children, then if the grandson Zhu Xiongying has something to do with smallpox at this time, then even if Zhu Biao, who is the crown prince, is unwilling to accept a side concubine, Lao Zhu will definitely hold him as a concubine.

If this is the case, then the Lu family, who was once selected in the past and now has the name of virtuous and virtuous, must be the first choice of the Zhu family. The Lu family was justifiably married into the Zhu family and gave birth to children for the Zhu family.

Since Zhu Xiongying died early due to smallpox, the son born to the side concubine is undoubtedly the grandson. In the future, it is not impossible for the Lu family to soar and even become a descendant. It's just hiding behind the scenes, using the power of Kong Xixue to make Zhu Xiongying infected with the epidemic, but the Lu family can kill three birds with one stone, so that Zhu Biao can take the concubine, seek the position of the grandson, and use the power of the grandson to raise the Lu family, all of which are like pushing a boat down the river, and they can still leave no traces, only benefits. The so-called overnight success is far from enough to describe this plan.

In the past, Lu Buwei sent Zhao Ji to Qin Yiren's couch. Now Lu Ben doesn't intend to follow the example of his ancestors, push his own daughter as the prince's side concubine, and come back to the old thing of a strange thing to live in?
