Lingyang Palace.
As soon as Xiao Fuzi got off the carriage, he hurriedly asked the concierge if Xiao Qi was back. He learned from the concierge that Xiao Qi had gone to the guest house where Wang Zheng lived.
"Girl, let's..." Xiao Fuzi tentatively asked Lu Zheng if he wanted to go over?
Lu Zheng walked up the steps calmly, took the umbrella from Huasui, and glanced at Xiao Fuzi lightly.
"Let's go."
"Hey, let me hold an umbrella for the girl..."
"……Need not."
In the guest room, when Wang Zheng watched Xiao Qi carrying Wang Zhi back with a cold expression on his face, and when his eyes touched the things hanging on Wang Zhi's waist, he knew that Wang Zhi's identity might have been exposed.
Wang Zhi struggled to get off the ground. Xiao Qi's arrogance today made Wang Zhi reject him even more. Wang Zhi felt more at ease when he saw his father, whom he was not familiar with, than when he was with Xiao Qi.
He stepped on his short legs and opened his hands and threw himself at Wang Zheng aggrievedly. Wang Zheng quickly squatted down to catch him and protected him in his arms.
"Don't be afraid, daddy is here..."
Wang Zhi snorted, turned to look at Xiao Qi, and buried his head on Wang Zheng's chest. For the first time, he felt warmth from Wang Zheng's body.
It was a different kind of warmth from Lu Zheng's lotus heart.
Wang Zheng hugged him, feeling sour in his heart. How would the prince deal with them?
Chang Ping walked in and stood behind Xiao Qi, "Your Majesty, everyone has been cleared..."
Within a moment, all the servants in the guest courtyard had been cleared away by Chang Ping, leaving only Wang Zheng's entourage guarding the entrance of the courtyard.
Xiao Qi looked at Wang Zheng, who was holding Wang Zhi, with cold eyes. This was a general of their Lingyang Palace. Did he want their Lingyang Palace to be doomed?
This subordinate is really loyal.
Xiao Qi couldn't speak without Xiao Fuzi, so Chang Ping had no choice but to say, "General Wang, do you have anything to say to the prince?"
Wang Zheng knelt down facing Xiao Qi without raising his head to look at him. His heart was full of sadness. His throat felt blocked. After a long time, he said: "At the beginning of this year, General Sui transferred his subordinates to the Lingyang garrison baggage camp to specialize in baggage. The baggage is the most important thing in the army, but my subordinates are too stupid... to be able to handle big tasks."
"Today...I would like to ask the Crown Prince to resign from his position in the military."
Xiao Qi sneered, he was trying to cut ties with Lingyang Palace, but could he? Who in the capital doesn't know that the Lingyang garrison is his father's private army?
Once outsiders know Wang Zhi's identity, how should they talk about his father?
Chang Ping looked at Xiao Qi. He was not a lucky boy, and he could not accurately guess Xiao Qi's thoughts many times, but he knew that what happened today was caused by Wang Zhi.
"Azhi is..."
Before Chang Ping finished speaking, the expression on Wang Zheng's face changed and he hugged Wang Zhi tighter, "A Zhi is my child, he is no one else!"
"No matter what the prince sees, hears, or suspects today, A Zhi is still my child, Wang Zheng..."
Snapped! Xiao Qi was filled with anger and uncontrollably slapped the table. When he saw Wang Zhi's body shrinking, Xiao Qi withdrew his hand again.
"Don't be afraid...Daddy is here..."
Sometimes children's intuition is also very sensitive. Wang Zhi felt that Wang Zheng, who was holding him, seemed to be more scared than him. He was very scared. Wang Zhi put his arms around Wang Zheng's neck and looked out of the hall expectantly.
Chang Ping continued: "General Wang, does he know what will happen to the Lingyang Palace once the incident happens? Why don't you tell the truth to the prince?"
Wang Zheng shook his head and said the same sentence, "Azhi is my child..."
He had made an oath that A Zhi was just his child and that he would protect him with his life. But what he didn't expect was that even after many years, someone would still be able to recognize A Zhi.
Obviously, it was obvious that A Zhi looked nothing like the prince, so he felt safe leaving Wang Zhi in the capital.
Unfortunately, although Wang Zheng had met King Jingnan, he was young and did not know what King Jingnan looked like when he was a child or young man. What he saw was a god-like prince who was invincible and heroic.
He only wanted Lu Zheng to cure Wang Zhi, and had no idea that the elderly people in the capital who were familiar with King Jingnan would be able to tell the difference if they looked at Wang Zhi a few more times.
Normally, Chang Ping would have taken Wang Zheng away for interrogation, but now that Wang Zheng was still holding the child in his arms, he didn't know how to start.
The two sides faced off silently like this, and Xiao Qi became anxious again for a long time.
Xiao Qi took a deep breath, his eyebrows became colder again, he took out the booklet he carried with him, and was about to think about how to deal with Wang Zheng, when Lu Zheng came over.
She still walked up the steps unhurriedly. When Wang Zhi saw Lu Zheng, he immediately broke away from Wang Zheng's arms, threw himself into Lu Zheng's arms with open hands, and burst out crying.
"Wow...wuwuwu..."
Douda's tears kept rolling down as if he wanted no money. Wang Zhi had not cried since the last Shangyuan Festival turmoil, and now it seemed as if all the tears that had been accumulated for a long time were shed completely.
Xiao Qi:......
He doesn't seem to be okay, right? How would Lu Zheng miss him when she cried like this?
Lu Zheng sighed, even if God's will plays tricks on people, A Zhi is still just a child. She raised her hand and patted him gently.
Xiao Fuzi walked past Wang Zheng, who was kneeling on the ground with red eyes, and walked to Xiao Qi. He hesitated to speak, and he did not dare to speak.
Lu Zheng raised his head and met Xiao Qi's eyes, as if asking him what he would do?
Even though Ah Zhi's background is indescribable, he is just a child who doesn't understand anything after all. There are many choices for people in life, but how should parents choose?
After Lu Zheng came in, Xiao Qi's heart tightened when he saw Lu Zheng's expression was completely different from usual. In the past, Lu Zheng was bright, cheerful, lazy and comfortable.
But at this time, he only saw indifference on Lu Zheng's face, and an indescribable helplessness flashed across his eyes.
The two looked at each other for a long time. Xiao Qi was defeated. He avoided Lu Zheng's gaze, took out a charcoal pen and wrote a word on the booklet.
Xiao Fuzi stretched his neck to see: Yes.
Can? But what? What happened in his absence? Xiao Fuzi looked at Changping.
Chang Ping knew what Xiao Qi meant. He looked at Wang Zheng who was still kneeling on the ground and said: "General Wang's request, the prince has accepted it."
From then on, Wang Zheng broke away from the Lingyang garrison and had nothing to do with the Lingyang palace.
With tears in Wang Zheng's eyes, he thanked...his old master.
"Thank you, Your Majesty..."
He stood up and looked at Wang Zhi in Lu Zheng's arms. The prince allowed him to leave the Lingyang garrison. What about A Zhi? What will happen to him? Will he hand him over to the palace?
Lu Zheng saw the sadness in Wang Zheng's eyes, but after all, this was a matter between the Lingyang Palace and the Wang family. She believed that Xiao Qi would not be so cruel. She believed in him.
Lu Zheng came to him with Wang Zhi in his arms, wanting to return Wang Zhi to him, and then went back to Cangwu Courtyard. Wang Zhi was still sobbing. Sensing what Lu Zheng meant, he hugged her neck and refused to let go, and whimpered again. Started crying.
"……don't want."
The jade pendant around his waist was dangling in the air. Lu Zheng glanced at the jade pendant and looked down at it. Princess Wen Hui's words floated in her ears.
"I heard that A Zhi's... father is here to pick him up. Could you please Miss Lu to convey a message... leave Beijing as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll talk to General Wang when we get back."
The eldest princess smiled slightly and said, "Miss Lu has such advanced medical skills at such a young age. She must be from a famous family."
"When I was a child, I heard my father tell a story about a fairy mountain in another world. There was a valley there, and the valley was full of experts who devoted their lives to studying medicine, treating diseases and saving people, without caring about worldly affairs."
"...I heard from my father that there is also a sword pavilion there, where all the martial arts geniuses are, just to protect the doctors in the valley."
"Kings of all generations have wanted to use this place for their own use, but no one has ever been able to do it, and my father is no exception..."
"Miss Lu, have you ever heard of it?"
For this old man who was about to run out of energy, Lu Zheng did not lie to her, he just smiled and did not answer her.
This is undoubtedly the answer. The eldest princess looked at her expectantly with tears in her eyes, almost begging: "If one day...can you please Miss Lu have mercy on this poor child..."
