When the old emperor of Dongting heard that the young eunuch came to report, he was really surprised. The prince's body actually went to Dongting to pick up the third child in person. What a deep brotherhood.
For this, the old emperor was deeply moved.
It is best for the prince to come forward, which gives the third prince face, proves to the people that the court attaches great importance to the third prince, and at the same time allows the prince, who has been frail and sick since childhood, to go out and relax.
Although the prince may get stuck on the way, what can be done? It was what he wanted to do, and since he didn't have much time left in his body, it would be good to make some contribution to the court while he could.
Considering this, the old emperor agreed directly.
When the young eunuch went back to report, the prince asked: "Father, have you asked about my health?"
The young eunuch broke into a cold sweat and shook his head sarcastically, Nothing was said, but the prince already knew the answer.
His father never liked him, which was to be expected.
But even so, he still felt a little uncomfortable. After all, that was his biological father. He was obviously a brother from the same father and mother, but his father didn't like him and only liked the third child. Just because He was poisoned in his mother's body...
Fortunately, the third child is almost useless now, and he feels a lot more balanced.
Although they are brothers, there is no trace of brotherhood between them. They are destined to be incompatible.
When He Jiuniang woke up, the outside had returned to calm, and every household was asleep. She left some silver coins on the table in the inn room, then jumped out of the window and left.
After we got on the plane outside the city, we went directly to the capital of Beiyan. This time we didn’t have to go around the border and we could go directly to the capital. We arrived in the afternoon of the next day.
She did not dare to get too close to the city, but landed in a very far and remote place, and then rode back quickly. It was almost dark when she arrived.
She went to the military camp to find Lu Baichuan first. Coincidentally, Lu Baichuan had a lot of things to do today and was so busy that he just started eating. When she arrived, Lu Baichuan had just picked up the bowl.
Seeing He Jiuniang, he hurriedly put down the bowl and helped someone,
“I’m so exhausted!”
As soon as He Jiuniang entered the door, his whole body was filled with excitement. Just collapsed in Lu Baichuan's arms, a fierce girl acted like a baby.
Lu Baichuan hugged her tightly. God knows how worried he was during the past few days when she left. Although he knew that she was very powerful, he was not afraid of ten thousand but afraid of what might happen. Moreover, he was so far away from home. There was really no way to appear in front of her quickly.
“Are you okay?”
1As he asked, his big hands groped her body for no other reason than to see if she was injured.
“Pa!”
He Jiuniang slapped her and warned: “I’m still hungry, wait until I’m full!”
Lu Baichuan:...
He really didn’t mean anything else!
“I just...”
“Okay, okay, I know you are anxious, but I am really hungry, please understand me!”
Lu Baichuan: ...
Forget it, just by looking at her like this, you know it’s okay.
Pulling her to sit down, he gave her the bowl of rice he had just served, and he served another bowl. The couple gathered around a small table and had a long-lost meal. reunion dinner.
"Nothing happened these days, right?"
After finishing a bowl of rice, He Jiuniang was in the mood to ask about what happened these days, and asked Lu Baichuan to ask again I filled a bowl and gossiped while eating.
"A few small things happened. The third prince of Dongting sought death in prison, but was discovered and stopped by the jailer in time. After that, he seemed to be a different person, often going crazy. Zhuo Jiayu also made a few troubles. This time, Duke Mu's government went to complain to the prince again, and later the Yan family was also banned by the prince. The couple Zhuo Wei contacted before also made some moves, and sent a letter to Zhuo Wei, but we intercepted it and did not say anything. Their position, but Zhuo Wei was told to find a way to contact the third prince of Dongting and find an opportunity to take his life."
Lu Baichuan explained the matter clearly in a few words. He Jiuniang nodded and said: "The third prince of Dongting The prince has lost his fingers, which is equivalent to losing the qualification to inherit the throne. Naturally, he has lost all thoughts and wants to die. But I will not let him die so quickly. I will go back and encourage him. As for the Zhuo family, , they can make trouble as much as they want, but they won’t let him go anyway. This is already the gentlest way of revenge on the Zhuo family. There are also letters from the couple. Killing the third prince was a previous task. I believe they will not be released in a few days. You will receive the latest mission, which is to protect the third prince to the death and not let him get even the slightest bit injured."
Lu Baichuan responded and asked again: "What have you done these days? ?”
He Jiuniang immediately became elated: “I’ve had a wonderful few days! Listen to me slowly...”
Then, she told her itinerary He described what he had done vividly and vividly, which was called a detail. He even used a lot of gorgeous words to describe how beautiful the beauty in the arms of the old emperor Dongting was.
Of course, they also talked about the affairs between the Prince of Dongting and the old emperor, and finally showed Lu Baichuan the ugly photos of the old Emperor of Dongting.
Lu Baichuan's whole speech:...
His wife is really a loser. If he hadn't just swallowed the food in his mouth, he could have sprayed her in the face...
It can be seen that this trip to his wife is really exciting, which makes him feel itchy and can't wait to witness it all with his own eyes.
"There is no suspicion in the palace, right?"
"No, Mr. Kang is very cooperative."
"Huh?"
< br />He Jiuniang was a little confused and turned to look at him.
Lu Baichuan explained: "Mr. Kang is a smart man. He probably guessed that you were not in the house. He obviously recovered quickly, but he kept pretending to be comatose."
"Not bad. Yes, no wonder he can take the third place in the country! By the way, has the imperial examination been held?"
"Not yet, His Highness and the Emperor both said that they can wait until Mr. Kang gets better, so as not to take him separately in the future. , it’s unfair to be suspected by others.”
“Okay, I’ll go back tonight, and Mr. Kang will be able to try and get better tomorrow, and let him take the imperial examination in two days. It takes too much time."
This imperial examination is a very formal national examination. Under normal circumstances, the date will not be changed easily, but this time Kang Tanhua's situation is special, and Zhu Liang just died, and his family The funeral was still being held, and all the students who had been friends with him wanted to pay their respects, but the journey was time consuming, so they postponed it for a few days.
But Lu Baichuan couldn't hear anything else. He only held her hand and asked, "Didn't you just say you would accompany me tonight?"
Why are you going back tonight?
Did you just tease him?
He Jiuniang deliberately teased him: "Yes, I will stay with you for a while and then I will go back. It won't take long anyway..."
Didn't give her a chance to finish her sentence. , Lu Baichuan rushed over to her and blocked her mouth. Unexpectedly, he was not good at connotation, so he had to teach her a lesson.
But He Jiuniang didn’t understand whether this man was just being separated for a few days without teasing or something, how could he seem to have been separated for several years and be so savage that he didn’t look like a normal person? .
He Jiuniang’s complaints came from time to time in the camp:
“Be gentle, I’m afraid others won’t know!”
“Ah... What aroused you?"
"Ouch! Are you coming again?"
"Brother, I was wrong..."
