On the way to the front yard of the Lu family, Qin Heng unconsciously fell two positions behind Qin Sheng, and his eyes fell on his tall and straight figure. His Asheng grew up like a jade tree in the wind, like a tall and straight young poplar.
As soon as Qin Heng slowed down, Qin Sheng noticed it. He also stopped and turned back in confusion, "Brother?"
Qin Heng patted Qin Sheng on the shoulder, "A Sheng, thank you, brother."
Thank you for working hard to grow and become better, and then let Lu Songli recognize you and then be willing to lend a helping hand to the Qin family. Regardless of whether her reminder was useful or not, it was still better than them being unaware before the reminder.
Qin Sheng looked confused. He couldn't understand what his elder brother was thanking him for. Obviously he didn't do anything.
Qin Heng smiled, his younger brother is a fool.
The Qin family's troubles were just around the corner. If Lu Songli hadn't approved of him, she could have said nothing today and secretly asked her father to ask Emperor Kang Cheng to terminate the engagement between the two families. Considering how favored Lu Songli is in front of Lu Desheng, he shouldn't refuse.
So what if the Queen Mother granted a marriage? The Lu family has a gold medal for immunity from death, and Lu Desheng can speak well in front of Emperor Kang Cheng. If the Lu family is willing to use the gold medal for immunity from death, and the two are superimposed, it is not impossible for her to cancel the betrothal. That’s all.
For Qin Sheng, he didn't think about things he couldn't figure out, since his brother wouldn't harm him anyway. Rather than his eldest brother's unclear words of thanks, he was more concerned about how his eldest brother could protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who had already gone north.
His brother's question made Qin Heng fall into deep thought. He believed that he should tell Shiro as soon as possible about the prediction that the prince might have an accident in the north, and see if he could catch up with the prince and his entourage: Then he would send a letter to his father Fei Ge, asking his father to send someone Go back to the rear to meet His Royal Highness. As long as nothing happens on the Prince's journey, things will be stable later on.
Then, the question arises, how to get the news to Shiro? Flying pigeons to send messages is not easy to do, because Shiro is a moving point, and pigeons must have a fixed route and a fixed foothold.
Shiro and his party set out yesterday. Considering his eagerness to return, they must have gone far now, and there is more than one road to the north. Even if someone chases them up, ordinary soldiers may not be able to catch up with them.
"Brother, I'll go!" Qin Sheng asked.
The fourth brother has already set out for a day, a night and half a day. With the pace of the fourth brother, he will not be slow. Ordinary people cannot catch up with him, but he can!
"Okay, you go." Qin Heng thought for a moment and then agreed, "After telling him the news, you will rush back, you know?"
If the person who chased Shiro was Asheng, then the problems he just thought were difficult for ordinary people would not be problems. Not all the horses used by Shiro and his men are top-notch horses, so if they can travel six hundred miles a day, it is considered good, and Asheng can travel eight hundred miles a day. As for tracking which way they take, Ah Sheng is good at this and has no problem.
He calculated the distance, and it should be no problem for Ah Sheng to be back before fifteen.
****
After the banquet was over, brothers Lu Zhiyuan and Lu Mingzhi accompanied Lu Desheng and sent the Qin family out.
After seeing off the guests, Lu Songli invited Lu Desheng into the study.
Lu Zhiyuan and Lu Mingzhi saw that their mother had moved the little Wuzi and was sitting by the door. As soon as the brothers saw this posture, they knew that they had something important to discuss.
"Brother, I'm back to Winter Garden. Can you leave? Or do you want to go to the study to listen?" Lu Mingzhi asked. The two brothers can't make the final decision on major matters, but as a family, it's okay to listen. Today's matter is not trivial at first glance, and the level of confidentiality is quite high. As for him, he'd better hide if he can.
Lu Zhiyuan shook his head, with a look of pain on his face. He couldn't follow their thoughts, so he shouldn't humiliate himself. Otherwise, he will deeply suspect that he is not his biological child. Otherwise, why would the gap between children be so big if they all have the same parents?
Lu family study room
Lu Songli personally poured a cup of tea for her father and served it with both hands.
In the conversation between her and Qin Heng just now, Lu Songli had greeted her father earlier, and the father and daughter had a brief communication. After seeing off the Qin family, she recounted the conversation to Lu Desheng.
In fact, if we all held a conference together, she wouldn't have to go to such trouble. But this is very necessary. She has a dual identity, the unmarried daughter-in-law of the Qin family. The key is that she has not yet married and has not fully integrated into the Qin family. If she insists on marrying her father, both parties will be uncomfortable. Now, it's a little more troublesome, but things are going smoothly.
In the study, Lu Songli informed her father of her inference. Then she reconfirmed with him the true condition of the emperor's dragon body, which was the basis for her inference.
When his daughter asked, Lu Desheng didn't hide it, "The emperor's dragon body is indeed not very good." Although the emperor's face was red and energetic every time he summoned him or summoned ministers, he knew that these were all taking drugs The excitement after taking the elixir. He noticed that the emperor took medicine frequently now.
"Dad, I received a message that someone was secretly asking Wei Zili about the emperor's current physical condition."
"Are you saying that someone is spying on the health of the emperor's dragon body?"
"Um."
Lu Desheng: How come he doesn’t know? What he meant was, why didn't that person ask him?
It can be said that besides Wei Zili, he is the minister who has had the most contact with Emperor Kang Cheng in recent days. The other party secretly sought out Wei Zili, and then avoided him precisely? Why? How is he worse than Wei Zili?
Lu Songli felt that no one asked her father for information. Isn't that normal? Her father is currently labeled as a loyalist to the emperor. "If those people really come to you, they will have to worry about being sold to the emperor by you." Also, the Qin family is about to get married to the Lu family, and the other party will The Qin family had planned it. As long as they didn't want the plan to be exposed, they would never think of her father buying information.
Lu Desheng thought for a while, and it seemed that he would really do this. Because no matter how much these people gave, it would not be as much as what Emperor Kang Cheng gave. Besides, he didn't dare to betray the emperor's information. He was afraid that Emperor Kang Cheng would kill him if he found out.
"Wait a minute, the person behind the scenes came to Wei Zili to inquire about the emperor. He must be very cautious and secretive in his actions. How did you know about it with such caution?" Lu Desheng asked the doubts in his heart.
You know, because he gained face in front of the emperor, the maids and eunuchs were happy to be friends with him, and they were very willing to reveal some information to him. Now his daughter actually knows the news that even he doesn't know. When did my daughter’s hair grow so long? It has already reached into the palace?
"Forget it, you don't have to tell me." Lu Desheng felt that it was good for his daughter to have some power in her hands.
Lu Songli felt that there was nothing she couldn't say. During this period, after getting her father's approval, she used the Lu family's own power and resources to extend some tentacles and develop some influence.
The person who handed her the news this time was none other than the little father-in-law who led her the way when she met the Queen Mother last time.
As the saying goes, meeting is fate. After she came back from the palace that day, she invested some money in Mr. Xiao Lizi's father-in-law through her father's network.
Little Lizi's father-in-law himself is also very successful. In just a short time, he has moved himself from the little eunuch who leads the way to serving in Yuqian Palace.
He was the one who passed on the news that someone was looking for Wei Zili.
To be honest, she just invested and invested casually, but she didn't expect such an unexpected gain.
