After Lu Zuo took the carriage home, he immediately came to the hall to pay his respects to his father-in-law. After the family chatted, An Jingruo asked Lu Zuo about what happened today. Lu Zuo also told An Jingruo and his father-in-law everything in detail. After hearing this, the father and daughter were still frightened and surprised. After Lu Zuo finished speaking, he remembered Yin Ji and asked, "Is he awake?"
Jing Jingruo nodded solemnly, "I woke up in the afternoon. It seems that he was seriously injured. He is lying down and resting in the side room in the backyard! I will stay by his side and take care of him. You should go to his room and take a look!"
Lu Zuo breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and asked his father-in-law to leave, and came to Yin Ji's room alone. Lu Zuo stood outside the door, not knocking on the door for a long time, just standing blankly.
Suddenly the door creaked open, and it was Chen Tuizhi who faced him. Chen Tuizhi smiled knowingly, "I knew the senior brother was back, come in quickly!"
"Master..."
Before Lu Zuo entered the door, he saw Yin Ji struggling to get up from the bed. Seeing that his face was pale and his expression was very painful, Lu Zuo couldn't bear it. He rushed into the house and stopped him: "Lie down quickly..."
Yin Ji didn't care about his injuries and knelt on the ground, crying and saying: "Master, forgive me... I have thought a lot these days, and I shouldn't have hidden it from you..."
Lu Zuo smiled faintly and helped Yin Jifu up again, "This matter has passed. I know your thoughts. If you hadn't helped me these few times, I would have been dead long ago."
When Yin Ji saw that his master was no longer angry, he jumped up for joy, but was brought back to reality by the injuries on his body. However, he still said with a silly smile: "Master, don't be angry with me!"
Lu Zuo showed a loving smile, patted Yin Ji's shoulder gently, and said sincerely: "Actually, the reason why I want to drive you away is because I am afraid that the prince's gang will attack you!"
Yin Ji's tears suddenly flowed out, "Disciple has expected this!"
After the master and apprentice chatted for a while, Lu Zuo asked Yin Ji to rest first, and then returned to the hall to see his father-in-law. Pingyuan Bo Anyuanshan told Lu Zuo about An Shiqing and An Shilu again, and was about to say goodbye and go home. Lu Zuo repeatedly asked him to stay for dinner, but Anyuanshan still refused and went back home first.
After Lu Zuo said goodbye to his father-in-law, Uncle Pingyuan, he went directly to Xinghua Restaurant and passed through the secret passage to Prince Ning's Mansion. It was already dark at this time, and Liu Xingyuan was already waiting for Lu Zuo in the woodshed. After the two greeted each other, they went directly to Prince Ning Liu Xun's room. At this moment, only Liu Xing was the only one in the room helping to look after Prince Ning.
When Liu Xingzhi saw that Lu Zuo had finally arrived, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He went straight forward to hold Lu Zuo's hand and said excitedly: "Mr. Lu, I've been waiting for you to come!" Liu Xingzhi suppressed the joy on his brows and said, "I already got it this afternoon. According to the news, Liu Yan was deposed and Li Shizhi was also arrested. Mr. Lu..." Liu Xingzhi raised his eyebrows and gave a thumbs up, "Your name must be remembered for this achievement. Sir, you are indeed strategizing and calculating! Ha ha……"
Lu Zuo's face darkened and he didn't respond. He just asked, "How is the prince?"
Liu Xingzhi then replied seriously: "The situation is not bad. Mr. Lu, when do you think the antidote can be given?"
Lu Zuo pondered for a while, nodded and replied: "Yes! Now you can let the servants boil the medicine! I will take the medicine tonight and I expect to wake up tomorrow."
Liu Xingzhi hesitated, "But Liu Yan is not dead yet. Let my father wake up now. After the emperor hears about it, will he be soft-hearted and let Liu Yan go?"
"Then it depends on how capable the Queen is!"
"You mean the Queen will blow pillow wind into the Emperor's ears?"
Lu Zuo nodded slightly, "If you want to bring down the queen now, you must wake up Prince Ning. Only Prince Ning can scare the queen."
Liu Xingzhi frowned, puzzled, "Why is this? How come only my father can intimidate you?"
Lu Zuo suddenly turned around and looked at Liu Xingzhi coldly. He did not answer directly and only left one sentence, "Remember to boil the medicine. Lu will leave first."
After Lu Zuo said that, he turned around and left without any doubt, leaving Liu Xingzhi helpless standing in the room, confused and thinking about what Lu Zuo just said.
Liu Xingzhi was in a state of confusion at the moment. He was pacing back and forth in front of his father's bed. He lowered his head and thought and murmured to himself, "What does Lu Zuo mean? What does he mean? What does he mean..." Liu Xingzhi thought about it and suddenly understood, could it be that Lu Zuo It means that the queen will take advantage of the fact that her father is dead and there are no followers of my father in the court. The queen will take the opportunity to win over my father's supporters, and then let people persuade the emperor that there is no better heir to inherit the throne. , asking the emperor to give Liu Yan another chance. Liu Xingzhi thought that it was not good or bad. If this was really the case, wouldn't all the previous efforts be wasted? But if my father wakes up now, where will I be? Although his father has always been partial to him, he has always been more optimistic about his brother Liu Xingyuan. If his father really becomes a big deal, he will most likely correct his concubine brother, and according to his father's temperament, he doesn't care whether he is a concubine or not. . The more Liu Xingzhi thought about it, the more panicked he became, no! Now while the father is still awake, something must be done!
Lu Zuo came out of the inner courtyard of Prince Ning's Mansion and when he came to the door of the woodshed, he happened to run into Liu Xingyuan.
Liu Xing saw that Lu Zuo was about to leave in a hurry, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and greet him, "What a coincidence, Mr. Lu! I happened to meet you when I was passing by."
Lu Zuo smiled lightly, "Really? Lu thought that the eldest young master came to see me specially!"
Liu Xingyuan smiled awkwardly, "Mr. Lu, are you anxious to go back?"
Lu Zuo smiled and nodded, "If the eldest son has no other instructions, Lu will leave." Although Lu Zuo said this, he stood motionless and had no intention of leaving.
The two of them stood in front of the woodshed, feeling awkward for a while, but Liu Xingyuan felt a little embarrassed and smiled again, "Congratulations, Mr. Lu!"
Lu Zuo still smiled, knowing what he meant, "Eldest Young Master, there is no need to rush to congratulate Lu, first think about how to deal with the current bloody disaster!"
Liu Xingyuan was in a state of confusion. Lu Zuo's words must have a deeper meaning. So what exactly did he mean by the "bloody disaster"? Now the situation is gradually becoming clearer. Liu Yan, my father's most threatening opponent, has also been demoted to a commoner. How can he still be in danger?
"Xingyuan really doesn't know what Mr. Lu means? Can you make it clear?"
Lu Zuo smiled ghostly, and then asked casually: "How is the relationship between the eldest son and the second son recently?"
Liu Xingyuan was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, "You mean my brother..." Liu Xingyuan lowered his head with a face as heavy as water, and pondered for a long time without replying.
"Eldest Young Master..."
Lu Zuo's face also darkened, and he called his name. He looked at Liu Xingyuan with piercing eyes and said nothing. Liu Xingyuan also looked at Lu Zuo in surprise. The two looked at each other, and it seemed that their eyes could express all their thoughts. Each other's blazing gazes were telling each other that they both had a lot to say. Lu Zuo's eyes revealed perseverance, trust, and determination, while Liu Xingyuan's eyes revealed surprise, suspicion, hesitation, and seemed a little helpless.
