Not far away, I saw a group of people surrounding a large sedan chair carried by twelve people. When Liu Xingzhi saw that the prince had arrived, he couldn't help being a little surprised. Liu Xingyuan, on the other hand, secretly pulled his brother's sleeves and pointed at Lu Zuo with a pout, indicating that he probably came here for Lu Zuo. Liu Xingzhi looked at the bloodless Lu Zuo. He felt a little at a loss and had to kneel down and salute with the group of people!
The prince's sedan stopped at the door of Prince Ning's Mansion. A guard with a full mouth lifted the blue cloth curtain and said, "Your Highness! Prince Ning's Mansion has arrived."
"Everyone is exempt from the gift!" A young man with a golden crown tied his hair and wearing an apricot yellow python robe said as he slowly got off the sedan chair. The prince searched around with his eyes, and suddenly his eyes stopped on Lu Zuo. Although Lu Zuo's face was slightly pale, he had an extraordinary look on his brows and his eyes were clear and deep. On the surface, this person seems to be expressionless, but upon closer inspection, he appears to be happy, angry, sad, and angry, making it difficult to guess his true inner thoughts.
The prince walked lightly and walked up to Lu Zuo, "Who are you?"
Without waiting for Liu Xingzhi to report from behind, Lu Zuo bowed and saluted: "Common man Lu Zuo! I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
After the prince returned the gift, he looked at Lu Zuo carefully. For a moment, the prince's brows furrowed slightly, and then he laughed heartily, "I have heard about Mr. Lu for a long time, and when I saw him today, he was really extraordinary. I just hate that I have been living in the palace for a long time, and I can't see him! They say that Mr. Lu is so talented. , Wen Tao and Wu Lu, today Mr. Lu is in Beijing, and I would like to ask Mr. Lu to come and give me some advice!"
Before Lu Zuo could react, the prince took his left hand and pulled him into the car. Lu Zuo looked back at Liu Xingzhi, and then said helplessly to the prince: "Today, the common people are tired of traveling and traveling, so they can't go. I hope your highness will forgive me!"
Lu Zuo actually hadn't figured out how to reject the Crown Prince and Prince Ning. The Crown Prince was the beloved grandson of the current Emperor. Since the Emperor's eldest son Liu Yi died young, leaving only the orphan Liu Yan, the Emperor loved him very much. His eldest grandson still passed the crown prince's position to his eldest grandson, so if he offends the prince now, I'm afraid it will not do him any good. Prince Ning also had ulterior motives, and he probably already harbored a grudge against his father for passing the title of prince to his nephew.
The prince knew that Lu Zuo was a little embarrassed, but he didn't want Lu Zuo to fall into the hands of others. He also came here because of the recent rumors that "Xun Mou and Lu Zuo are available in the world." He is victorious in every battle and famous both in the government and in the public. Since the Xun family remained neutral about the position of the prince, they thought that as long as they gained power, Xun Mou would also turn to them. Since this Lu Zuo can be compared with Xun Mou, then Lu Zuo must also have his own merits, so winning over Lu Zuo is particularly important.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, why don't you come in and sit down! The Crown Prince also appreciates the honor, and I, Liu Xun, will give you a cup of tea!" At this time, a deep voice came from the door of the mansion. Several servants walked out of the door, hugging a slightly fat man wearing a crescent-colored robe.
Lu Zuo guessed that this person was undoubtedly King Ning Liu Xun. Thinking carefully about what Prince Ning said just now, it was too sharp. As the prince, Uncle Wang, I am afraid that the prince will feel ashamed when he hears these words. It can be said that Prince Ning wants to withdraw his money!
"Uncle Wang has already said that I am just here to invite you because of Mr. Jiu Mu Lu's talent!" Prince Liu Yan was quite polite when he spoke.
Prince Ning Liu Xun walked forward unhurriedly and said: "Since His Highness is here today, let's go into the mansion with Mr. Lu and have a luncheon!" He said with a bow and said "Please!"
Liu Yan hesitated for a moment, thinking that if he followed him into the mansion now, wouldn't Lu Zuo have to follow him in too? If that were the case, it would be even harder to use other reasons to take Lu Zuo away. "Uncle Wang, that's unnecessary. I'm here for Grandpa Huang. Grandpa Huang has been ill recently, and the doctors at the Imperial Hospital didn't pay much attention to it." Fa Zi, my nephew also heard that Mr. Lu is proficient in medicine, so he specially came to invite him to check the emperor’s pulse and diagnose him!”
After hearing this, Lu Zuo couldn't help but smile in his heart. Regarding the fight between the Crown Prince and Prince Ning, it was too early to express which side he was on. Let's see what the two of them would say! So Lu Zuo deliberately kept his composure as if he had no intention of going or staying, and let the two groups of people guess.
Prince Ning gritted his teeth secretly, seeing that although his nephew was similar in age to Liu Xingzhi, he was more sinister and cunning than his two sons. It didn't matter whether Lu Zuo left or stayed, but he couldn't help but worry about the future situation of his two sons!
As expected, Liu Xingzhi could not bear to bear this anger, "Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Liu Xingzhi deliberately raised these four words in a loud voice, "Mr. Lu, my brother and I invited you here early in the morning..."
"Let's go!" Prince Ning stopped Liu Xingzhi, looked at him with a serious expression, and then said to the prince with a smile: "The emperor has been working day and night on state affairs. It is appropriate for Mr. Lu to go and have a look."
Prince Ning saluted Lu Zuo again, "When Mr. Lu is free someday, he must come and sit in the humble house!"
"Please, Mr. Lu!" Before Lu Zuo could answer, Prince Liu Yan rushed to say.
When everyone saw the Crown Prince and Prince Ning confronting each other, everyone around them was frightened. Only Lu Zuo and Yin Ji remained calm-faced. One looked calm and calm, while the other looked like a newborn calf.
Lu Zuo fluttered his sleeves and smiled slightly, followed the prince a few steps forward, and when the prince was getting into the car, he turned around and bowed to Prince Ning deliberately. Prince Ning seemed to smile knowingly and nodded.
When Liu Xingzhi saw Lu Zuo driving away in Liu Yan's car, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. He gritted his teeth and whispered, "Father, are you willing to just watch Liu Yan take Lu Zuo away!"
"What do you know? Liu Yan has already moved the emperor and his old man out, can we still force him to stay? Liu Yan, as long as he wants something, he will do whatever it takes to get it. If he can't get it, he will just I’m afraid that no matter who you are, he will dare to bite you, not to mention that the emperor loves him so much!”
"Then Lu Zuo is like this..." Liu Xingzhi was indignant.
"Don't worry, as long as this Lu Zuo is really a good guy, he should know how to assess the situation. Lu Zuo is just a chess piece at the mercy of others. If he is not careful, he will not be able to hide under anyone's roof. .”
Liu Xingyuan seemed to care about the party struggle only out of concern for his family and did not care about the struggle between interests, so he blurted out and asked: "What should we do now?"
"What should I do? What should I do? You just know what to do. Why do I have a son like you? He is not as good as your brother!"
Prince Ning had never been very fond of his eldest son Liu Xingyuan. He said that he was pure in nature, but he also revealed a bit of stupidity, and that he was brave but seemed to be reckless. Even though there is something pleasant about him, it still makes people worry.
Liu Xingyuan just smiled, then bowed his head and said nothing.
Prince Ning adjusted his sleeves and sneered: "Didn't you see it just now?"
"Oh! Yes, yes! Lu Zuo turned around just now." Liu Xingzhi seemed to have come to his senses and suddenly realized.
"That's right, the prince wants to win over Lu Zuo, but he shouldn't do this! I don't care whether this Lu Zuo is talented in the world, as long as it is what he wants, no matter what it is, I will take it. Today Let's be more generous and patient, and let Lu Zuo know who has it..." Prince Ning was about to say the four words "the spirit of the emperor", but seeing that the occasion was wrong, he swallowed it back alive, "Let's go back to the house for dinner. . You have worked hard along the way!"
