Just when Qin Hong was about to step forward and accept the punishment, Lu Manxi took the lead and said, "Senior Brother, it's all my fault. I forced my junior sister to go out to play!"
"You?" Lu Zuo knew it, but he asked knowingly, "Really? I think you want to protect your junior sister!"
Lu Manxi lowered her head and glanced at Qin Hong, who was kneeling next to her, from the corner of her eye, and then shook her head repeatedly, "It's true that I want to go out. I haven't seen the excitement of this capital since I was a child, so I want to go out and have a look. Junior sister has nothing to do with it!"
Just as he was talking, Yin Ji strode into the main room with a whip in his hand and presented the whip to the master with both hands.
Lu Zuo took the whip and clasped his hands behind his back, "Manxi, this is a place of dispute in the capital. You have to make it fall out before you can let it go, right? Fortunately, I bumped into your second-year high school brother today. If there really is a fight, there will be a fight." , all of us will be implicated! This capital is so dangerous, do you understand?"
Qin Hong turned her face away and murmured, "You are afraid of being implicated, but I'm not afraid, I just can't get used to it!"
Lu Zuo shook his head and sighed, "My little junior sister, the implication is small, but the failure of Master and our painstaking plan is a big deal!"
After Qin Hong heard this, he lowered his head in shame. Lu Manxi looked at her senior brother begging and said, "Senior brother, if you want to hit me, just hit me!"
Lu Zuo pointed the whip at Lu Manxi and said angrily: "I tell you, just protect your junior sister! One day something happens to her, let's see if you can still protect her!" Lu Zuo Then he threw the whip to Yin Ji, "Qian'er, come here, you can't miss thirty whips!"
After that, Lu Zuo turned around and went back to the back room, followed by Gao Yun. Lu Zuo heard Lu Manxi's *sounds coming from outside the main room in the back room. Gao Yun saw his eldest brother's eyes closed and his expression solemn, and couldn't help asking: "Brother, why are you so harsh on them? Why don't you just go out for a walk?"
Lu Zuo shook his head and stared at Gao Yun, "You don't know something. They are both only sons. If they are not strictly disciplined, I'm afraid that one day I will..." Lu Zuo said and began to shake his head and sigh.
Seeing the strange look on his eldest brother's face, Gao Yun couldn't help but ask, "Brother, I have something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not!"
Lu Zuo nodded, "Say it!"
"I recently discovered that you seem to be a different person since you recovered from your injury!" Gao Yun looked at his elder brother in confusion.
Lu Zuo also asked with great interest: "Oh! Brother Xian, please tell me about it!"
Gao Jun continued: "In the past, I could never guess what was going on in your mind, and you never showed your emotions or anger. Now I often see you shaking your head and sighing, and you are much more careful in doing things than before. I can always see you. He looks very worried!"
Lu Zuo lowered his head. He seemed to think that Gao Yun was right. Ever since he knew that he might only have two or three years to live, his shoulders seemed to have become heavier. He was always worried about whether he could complete his mission in these short three years. , and because of this, his temper became more and more irritable and restless. Even a careless person like Gao Yun could see his current mood, and those scheming people could also easily see what was on his mind. Lu Zuo frowned and was secretly fighting in his heart. He had to work hard to control his emotions, otherwise it would be difficult to achieve great things.
"Master!" Yin Ji entered the room and broke the silence, "The beating is over. I see that Brother Manxi is in terrible pain. Do you want to call the doctor to come and take a look?"
Lu Zuo walked in front and came to the main room. He saw Lu Manxi lying on the bench, covering her butt with her hands and screaming in pain. Qin Hong next to her was wiping a few tears and comforting her. After seeing this, Lu Zuo knew that they were just showing off, and didn't want to reprimand him any more. He just ordered: "Junior sister, help Man Xi back to his room. Qian'er, go ask the doctor to take a look at him! Remember to go to the dining hall later." During lunch, Qin Hong, please deliver the meal to Man Xi first, do you understand?"
Qin Hong agreed and said "yes", then helped Lu Manxi up with Yin Ji and went out.
After Gao Yun saw them walking away, he said to Lu Zuo: "Brother, I have done what you asked me to do!" After saying that, he took out three road guides from his arms and handed them to Lu Zuo, and then asked, "Brother, what are you doing?" Why did you go to Prince Ning's Mansion this morning?"
Lu Zuo's eyes were indifferent, "Send me a big gift!"
"Oh? Big gift?" Gao Yun asked curiously, "What big gift?"
"Of course it's a great gift related to Prince Ning's future!"
Lu Zuo's point made Gao Yun want to know even more, "Brother, I know you want to do a big thing, but since I am your brother, as long as you need me, I will be there for you. But brother, you are always like this It’s mysterious and makes me feel a little weird!”
Lu Zuo knew his worries and just patted Gao Yun on the shoulder, "Brother Xian, the closer you get to me, the more dangerous your situation may be. Are you afraid?"
Gao Yun didn't care about this, he slapped his chest and said with determination: "Brother, you don't know me yet, what have I, Gao Yun, been afraid of!"
Lu Zuo nodded happily, "Okay, when the time comes, brother Xian, you will naturally know, and I will make it clear to you, but it is not the time yet. Maybe it will be safer for you not to know."
In the afternoon, in the Prince's Mansion, the tall camphor tree with its lush foliage can be said to block out the sky and the sun. Therefore, the Prince's mood has been much calmer than before in the past few days. He just woke up from a nap when the housekeeper knocked on the door and said: " Your Royal Highness, Mr. Xu, Minister of War, is already waiting in the study!"
Prince Liu Yan yawned and stretched on the recliner, saying, "We'll be there soon!" Then while asking Crown Princess Xu Fang to change his clothes, he asked, "Fang'er, let's see if we can go see you together. Father! He hasn’t been here for a long time, let’s talk together!”
Xu Fang giggled and said, "He doesn't come to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. Let's chat. It's rare for him to come. Okay, let's keep my dad here for dinner together in the evening. We can chat then!"
"You have wronged your father-in-law. I have asked him to help me with something recently, so I don't have time to come here to see you. I asked him to come here today because I have something to do!" Liu Yan looked at Xu Fang lovingly and said, "That's okay , I will do as you wish tonight, if you don’t tell me, I also want to invite our father to have a meal together!"
After Liu Yan put on his regular clothes, he went to the study in the west wing. As soon as Liu Yan entered the room, he excitedly asked Xu Bingde, "Father-in-law, how are things going?"
Xu Bingde beamed with joy, bowed with a smile and said: "Your Highness, that treasure you gave me is truly ingenious. Even the craftsmen in the palace are full of praises, saying it is unique and rare. This time, on your birthday, we can finally catch your eye!"
"Getting attention is a small matter. The most important thing this time is to win the favor of Grandpa Huang. As long as it can please him, any rarity is worth it!" Liu Yan then asked, "How is the craftsman doing? No one is out. What's the mistake?"
