After chatting with Zhu Sha, Lu Fuhai took the old housekeeper to the study.
After entering the house, closing the door, and the master and servant sat down, Lu Fuhai spoke: "Dali Temple is heavily guarded and not well-informed. Tell me, is there any special news in Xingji City recently?"
He emphasized the word "special" slightly.
The old housekeeper had watched Lu Fuhai grow up, so he could hear it clearly.
"General, the wind direction in Xingji City at the turn of spring and summer has always been unpredictable and unpredictable. This old slave is confused and can't figure out many things."
Having said this, he quickly straightened out his thoughts.
"As for the royal family, the eldest princess Yiguang went to the clan mansion some time ago."
"I don't know what the eldest princess did. Since then, all the princes and princesses in Star City have suddenly been in a state of chaos. Some famous princes and grandsons have even been deprived of their status, and have either been imprisoned or demoted to common people... …”
Lu Fuhai's expression changed slightly, and he quickly asked about the details.
In the end, I was relieved when I learned that all the princes and palaces just accepted it silently.
"Coming down are King Qi and Minister Luo Ken of the Ministry of Industry. Their homes were confiscated and the whole family, men, women, and children were imprisoned. However, Princess Qi's natal family is fine for the time being. They just stay at home and thank guests behind closed doors."
Lu Fuhai nodded, the Minister of War, Guanyi, had already told him.
"As for your Majesty and the Crown Prince," the old housekeeper hesitated for a moment, with an annoyed look on his face, "General, the news in the palace has been very strict recently. This old slave is incompetent and basically can't find out anything."
"It's normal that I can't find out." Lu Fuhai was not surprised and waved his hand indifferently, "I can't blame you for this."
"What's the situation in Uncle Cheng'en's house?" he asked the queen's natal family or the prince's ancestral family.
"Back to General, during these days, Uncle Chengen's Mansion is just like us. It is being watched by Jinlin Guards and patrol battalions inside and outside, but there is no ban on the entry and exit of the people in the Mansion."
Speaking of this, the old housekeeper suddenly looked strange.
"General, Sun Ye, the third son of Uncle Cheng'en Mansion, have you ever heard of him?"
Hum.
"Of course," Lu Fuhai nodded with a sneer, "Sun Wuji, who was previously known as Sun Sanjian Shen, later had his front teeth broken by King Ning during the competition, right?"
Such idiots are everywhere in Xingji City. He was far away in Pinghai County and didn't bother to remember.
But Sun Ye's boast was so loud that Lu Fuhai had heard it several times.
"It's him." The old housekeeper smiled. "On March 3rd, various families held a banquet party again. No one invited Sun San at that time. As a result, he was so angry that he led others to break into the door. In the end, he was beaten on the spot. Broke a leg.”
oh?
Lu Fuhai finally became more interested, "What about the reaction of Uncle Cheng'en's Mansion?"
"Reaction?" The old housekeeper shook his head.
Not only did Uncle Chengen not respond, Prince Chengen even personally broke Sun Ye's other leg and scolded him for not understanding the rules.
"It is said that Uncle Cheng En couldn't stand it anymore, and he thought about sending Sun Ye back to his hometown in Luofengshan to be grounded and wake up. I don't know what happened in the end, but it didn't happen anyway."
Lu Fuhai nodded.
The Sun family will never be able to leave Xingji City.
"General," the old housekeeper lowered his voice subconsciously: "Uncle Cheng En was so arrogant in the past, but now he has become so humble that he cannot fight back or retaliate. Then the prince of the East Palace..."
cough.
Lu Fuhai coughed and looked at him deeply.
"As long as you and I know what's going on, we can do whatever we need to do normally. If there's no time for anything else, we'll just pretend we don't know."
The old housekeeper's face turned a little pale, but his breathing was a little excited, "Old slave, I understand."
"Is there anything else?" Lu Fuhai continued to ask.
"This..." The old housekeeper hesitated, but finally spoke under the scorching gaze of his master.
"General, since Princess Ning arrived in Xingji City, people have been secretly publicizing her identity everywhere, saying that she is from Xiliang."
"The old slave also secretly sent people to investigate behind the scenes. Unfortunately, we were closely watched by the Jinlin Guards later. For the safety of the masters in the house, the old slave quickly asked people to stop."
He hesitated: "So nothing was found."
Lu Fuhai seemed not to have heard anything, but was a little disdainful, "Xiliang, who said Princess Ning is from Xiliang?"
The old housekeeper was stunned.
He had some doubts about whether his general had stayed in the East China Sea for too long and confused the situation in the Western Xinjiang.
"General, when the princess put on the royal jade plate, it was clearly written that her birthplace was the Kailun tribe, and her father was the chief of the three Kailun tribes."
oh.
Lu Fuhai didn't take it seriously, "So what?"
"General," the old housekeeper was so anxious that he wanted to jump, but couldn't help but remind him, "The Kailun tribe is a tribe of Xiliang. According to the traditional rules of the royal family, foreigners cannot..."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but look in the direction of the living room.
He also heard what Lu Fuhai said just now about asking Zhu Shaduo to get close to Princess Ning.
And Prince Ning also had an equal wife in Guangxin County, and she was Miao Zhenggenhong’s Yunchuiren...
Hum.
Lu Fuhai raised his hand and interrupted the old housekeeper with a sneer, "Who stipulated that Kailun belongs to Xiliang, and who stipulated that Dingxi is my border with Yunchui?"
The old housekeeper was a little confused.
He blinked his eyes repeatedly and murmured: "General, this has always been the division between us and Xiliang. It is an agreement..."
"Bullshit!" Lu Fuhai suddenly cursed, "Is the agreement a custom?"
Pooh!
He spit heavily.
"Under the clouds, wherever the soldiers and horses come, they are all our soil! How can it be said that the Kailun tribe belongs to Xiliang?"
ah?
The old housekeeper was dumbfounded and looked at his master blankly, his mind blank for a moment.
hey-hey.
Seeing the old butler's shocked and confused eyes, Lu Fuhai couldn't help but feel a little happy.
I remember that when Guanyi relayed King Ning's words in Dali Temple, his face was just as dull and unbelievable.
The news of Lu Fuhai's release quickly spread throughout Xingji City, and some people were happy and some were sad.
Only Prince Ning's Mansion and Duke Zhenguo's Mansion were as calm as water in the eye of the storm.
back yard.
As the military doctor of Yanji Fortress, Madam Zhang should have returned to Dingxi County long ago.
Nowadays, she seems to have forgotten this, and has been accompanying little Ren Zhan as he staggers around in the garden and learns to walk.
From time to time, the two of them burst into giggles that resounded throughout the garden.
"Ms. Zhang," Yingpan walked over with a smile.
She teased her son first, "Let Zhan'er play with the girls. Don't be busy. The weather is so hot. Come over and have a cup of tea together."
"I've met your Majesty," Mrs. Zhang smiled broadly, but shook her head, "I'm not thirsty yet, so I'd better continue to play with the Crown Prince."
"You..." Yingpan shook her head speechlessly.
But she wasn't surprised either.
In fact, Mrs. Zhang has been taking care of Ren Zhan these days, and she is simply closer to her than Yingpan's own mother.
hehe.
Mrs. Zhang reacted and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, this garden is a bit big, and there may be anything in it. I'd better keep an eye on the Crown Prince carefully for your Majesty."
Yingpan smiled and did not expose her.
The garden in front of me is indeed very large, with many plants and trees.
But the servants knew that their masters liked this place, so they had already touched everything nearby, not to mention snakes and insects, and probably not even two ants.
However, Yingpan has been very busy lately and rarely has any leisure time.
Seeing Mrs. Zhang's stubbornness at this time, she no longer persisted, so she sat in the pavilion with a smile and watched the two of them playing.
The older one and the younger one played for half an hour. It wasn't until Ren Zhan was tired and fell asleep that Madam Zhang carried him into the pavilion.
"Empress," she gently caressed the child's little face, "now the overall situation has been decided, Xingji City is calm, the prince is well-behaved and strong, there is nothing for my subordinates to worry about..."
Therefore, it was time for her to return to the fortress.
