He Jiuniang wasn't very sure why the old emperor's feelings for her could quickly change from a relationship between a man and a woman to an elder's concern for a younger one. But the situation now was obviously much better than before, so she didn't dwell on it and nodded in agreement.

Concubine Liu is not very old, just a few years older than her, so she has quite a conversation with her. She is very interested in her makeup and clothes, and the conversation between the two develops like this. , they have nothing to do with the old man and the young man next to them, but they are quite harmonious.

In the study room of the East Palace, Lu Baichuan recounted the news he learned at the city gate last night, and then said: "During this period, the East Palace has sent a large number of people into the capital. I think the plan is almost complete. I am here. I won’t go to the military camp for a few days and will go to the cell to keep an eye on things, just in case.”

King Chen nodded and said, “I was just about to tell you about this matter. Someone reported that there are many suspicious people entering the city, and I have sent people to keep an eye on them, but there has been no movement. So far, their stronghold has not been found. This is the biggest problem."
< br />If we find a stronghold, we can still find an opportunity to get rid of them first, but now these people are not in contact, and they have not behaved suspiciously since entering the city. It is impossible to deal with them.

Lu Baichuan didn't think much about it at first, thinking that these people came to the city to rob the prison, but after hearing what the prince said, he instantly had doubts.

"Is there a possibility that this is entirely an attempt to attack the east and attack the west?"

Lu Baichuan also just realized this. This is too unusual.

The prince was also a little confused by this reminder. It seemed that this was indeed possible!

Lu Baichuan continued: "The Dongting people can't be so obviously stupid. Although those people have dressed up in disguise, even so, there are too many of them to attract our attention. At this time, several countries Although there is no explicit prohibition on communication between them, they do not communicate so frequently, and they still use such rough fake documents. This is obviously to attract our attention deliberately. Your Highness, think about it, have you sent many brothers out to follow you recently? But there has been no progress."

There are more people sent out to follow, and fewer people are actually defending or doing other things, which allows those people to take advantage of the loopholes.

The reason is very simple, but it is not easy to react immediately.

Only then did the prince realize that he had been tricked, and he gritted his teeth in anger.

"I will send people to the cell to strengthen the defense in a moment. No matter what tricks the Dongting people want to play, we can deal with it."

The prince had a look on his face. Seriously, fortunately, it was not too late to find out, and it could be remedied at this time. Otherwise, it would be a slap in the face only to find out that he had been tricked when the prison was robbed.

I thought that nothing would happen for the time being, so I asked Lu Baichuan to go to the military camp to train people. I didn't expect that not long after, there would be such a big mistake on his side. Lu Baichuan was really inseparable from him at all.

The prince was a little troubled. He wanted to bring Lu Baichuan back to his side, but as a general of the auxiliary country, Lu Baichuan had a lot to do. It was impossible for him to just do things for him like before. It seemed that It is still necessary to train talents in large quantities.

Afterwards, the two talked about training people. Lu Baichuan said that he had found several good seedlings in the military camp and could focus on training them. The prince was very satisfied and completely gave up the urge to transfer him back. , Lu Baichuan is more suitable at the military camp.

The two talked for a long time before they came out. Only then did they realize that He Jiuniang and Gou'er had been called away by the old emperor. Lu Baichuan was about to pick up their mother and son when a eunuch came to report that the emperor had uploaded them They all went over to have a meal.

It was very interesting that the old emperor invited guests to dinner tonight. He only invited the prince's family and Lu Baichuan's family, and did not even think of the other sons and daughters.

Well, even if he thought about it, he didn't want to shout. His original intention was just to invite Lu Baichuan's family, and even the prince's family was included.

After hearing this, the prince joked to Lu Baichuan: "Those who don't know think that my younger siblings are my father's daughters. During this time, all kinds of rumors spread throughout the country, and my father himself also I know, but I don’t care at all, and I’m even vaguely happy. I don’t know what my father is thinking.”

Speaking of this, the prince really felt that the old emperor seemed to have changed. It's like a person. When I believed in the evil way before, I didn't listen to what others said and just thought about immortality all day long. But now it's better. I know everyone's opinions are listened to, and I'm a lot more tolerant to the people below. He was a little out of control in his affection for He Jiuniang, and those who didn't know really thought there was some improper relationship between the two of them.

But even with that illicit relationship, many women have been favored by the old emperor over the years. Even the concubines in the period of great favor have never been favored with such a bottom line.

And the old emperor’s attitude towards He Jiuniang was exactly like an old father’s preference for his younger daughter, which was so enviable.

Not to mention those serious princesses who were unhappy, even the prince was a little annoyed. His father had never been so kind to him since he was a child!

He even deeply suspected that it was thanks to He Jiuniang that he could become the prince so quickly and smoothly.

Lu Baichuan smiled knowingly and said: "Jiu'er cured the emperor's disease. The emperor was grateful, so he was more partial to Jiu'er."

He deliberately I said this to dispel the prince's doubts. Although the relationship is good, there are some thingsLove cannot be unclear. Once the seeds of doubt are planted, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Haha, that's right. My father has transferred his passion for monasticism to your wife."

The prince laughed and thought this reason was very reasonable. After all, the old emperor's body was indeed cured by He Jiuniang. His body and bones are healthier than in previous years, and everyone can see it.

The most important thing is that his father really cares about the length of his life. Now that he knows that the Taoist priest has no hope, he only hopes that He Jiuniang will help him take good care of his body, so he is especially kind to He Jiuniang.

The two of them chatted and laughed and went to pick up the crown princess and the young prince, and then went to the old emperor's place for dinner together. At this time, the dog had been tested by the old emperor for a lot of knowledge. At this time, he was talking In the Analects of Confucius, Confucius famously said: A gentleman wants to be slow in words but quick in deeds.

The explanation given by Gou'er is: "Confucius said that a gentleman should talk less and do more. If talking too much is useless, don't waste that time!"

Gou'er This was not the first time that the old emperor was surprised. The meaning of this sentence did exist, but most students would just follow the explanation in the book, but Gou'er said it was his own understanding.

"Hahaha, is this something you understand yourself, or was it taught to you by others?"

"The dog straightened his chest and replied: "Mr. Kang taught us. The teacher said that every inch of time is worth an inch of money. If you can prove it with actions, there is no need to waste words and time. Time waits for no one."

　"Yes, yes, this is Mr. Kang?"
< br />The old emperor immediately became interested in Mr. Kang, who he thought was an interesting person.
