Although Murong Ke declared that Murong Zhan and Ye Zhen had gone to sea, not many people believed this statement. Jin Guo was at the time when Jin Mao was flourishing, and Ye Zhen became the concubine of Yuan Kingdom, the strongest emperor of Qi Kingdom. Zhao Yong died again, and the couple's desire to unify the world is almost within reach. They couldn't leave their daughter behind, and left with only their son.
No one thought that Murong Zhan and the others would come back, otherwise the status would not be given to Murong Ke.
Therefore, this time Murong Zhan and the others entered the city without incident, and everyone tacitly agreed not to publicize their identities.
Ye Zhen parted ways with them after entering the city, she wanted to go to Lu's house to see what happened to Lu Zanzhi's daughter-in-law.
She didn't know where Lu Zanzhi lived, so she had to go to Lu's house first, as Lu Xiangzhi happened to be sleeping at home.
"Yaoyao, Huang..." Lu Xiangzhi said in surprise when he saw them, but Ye Zhen stopped him from calling out the word "Emperor", "Why are you back?"
"From now on, you don't need to call him the emperor, just call him...brother-in-law." A sly smile flashed in Ye Zhen's eyes.
Pfft—Lu Xiangzhi almost choked on his own saliva. Although Murong Zhan married his younger sister, he really didn't dare to call out the word brother-in-law.
"Come in." Lu Xiangzhi invited the two of them in.
"Brother, we won't go in. Didn't mother go to look for Third Brother? Let's go and have a look too." Ye Zhen said.
Lu Xiangzhi looked at Mo Rongzhan, "Then... are you going too?"
"What is he going to do, Ah Zhan stays at home, and I will go by myself." Ye Zhen said, the woman gave birth to a child, so let Murong Zhan follow him to do something.
"Xiaoxiao and mother are both at the third brother's place. I'll ask the maid at home to take you there." Lu Xiangzhi said.
"Okay." Ye Zhen nodded, then turned to look at Murong Zhan, "Then wait for me here first."
Mo Rongzhan smiled faintly, "Don't worry, I'll wait for you."
"Then remember to take the medicine on time." Ye Zhen told him, "I've cooked it and put it in the space, remember to take it out."
"Well, I remember." Mo Rongzhan nodded, he would not leave any clues at all.
Only then did Ye Zhen leave in peace.
Leave Lu Xiangzhi to entertain Mo Rongzhan.
Although Murong Zhan is his brother-in-law, he was once the emperor.
Even if the throne is given up now, Murong Zhan's imperial aura has not diminished at all, it seems to be a bit more fierce than before.
"Didn't you invite me in for tea?" Mo Rongzhan asked softly.
"Your Majesty, please." Lu Xiangzhi came back to his senses and hurriedly invited Murong Zhan in.
He really couldn't pronounce the word brother-in-law.
"Yaoyao is right. I am no longer the emperor. It is not good for you and the Lu family if you call me that." No obstacles have been encountered. It seems that the Lu family has not changed much in the past few years.
Lu Xiangzhi smiled awkwardly, "Even so, I can't tell you the word brother-in-law."
"Then call him Brother Mo." Murong Zhan said.
This can be a lot closer at once! Lu Xiangzhi thought that this name is also very stressful.
Mo Rongzhan didn't seem to notice the entanglement in Lu Xiangzhi's heart, he went all the way to the lobby and sat down, "Kyoto seems to have changed a lot in recent years."
Is it big? Lu Xiangzhi was stunned for a moment, "Maybe I live in the capital, so I don't think anything has changed."
"Indeed." Mo Rongzhan's thin lips evoked a slight smile.
Something seems wrong! Lu Xiangzhi was puzzled, Mo Rongzhan couldn't see with his eyes, how could he know that the capital had changed so much? Unless he's pretending not to, or...he's not talking about changes in Kyoto.
Mo Rongzhan's eyes are all gray, it can't be faked, that is... there is something else in his words.
"Emperor..." Lu Xiangzhi lowered his voice and stammered before changing his address, "Mo...Brother Mo, do you want to ask something else?"
"What do you think I want to ask?" Murong Zhan slowly moved his slender fingers on the table a few times, breathed out of the tea cup, and took a sip of tea calmly.
This question is too difficult to answer! Lu Xiangzhi thought and thought in his heart, but he still didn't know what Mo Rongzhan meant.
He didn't even know if Murong Zhan wanted to take back the throne.
If this is the case, how will the Lu family stand in line? There is no need to ask this question, he naturally chose his brother-in-law.
"I don't know how to answer?" Murong Zhan said lightly, "Whether it's the changes in the capital or the changes in the court, it has nothing to do with me. I just said it casually. You don't have to be nervous. Today I just want to ask about A Yi's business."
"What's wrong with Ah Yi?" Lu Xiangzhi was stunned, "Didn't the little prince accompany the princess back to her mother's house, and wouldn't want to come back after having so much fun?"
Mo Rongzhan slowly placed the teacup in his hand on the table, and tapped the table with his fingers, "What is your official position in the imperial court?"
"The servant of the household department is in charge of the household registration of various places." Lu Xiangzhi said in a low voice.
"I remember you were in the Hanlin Academy at first?" Mo Rongzhan asked with raised eyebrows.
Lu Xiangzhi nodded lightly, "That's right."
But his father is already a bachelor of the cabinet. It is impossible for him to join the cabinet within 20 years. The Ministry of household affairs is his better choice.
"Did Ah Yi look for you before going to Qi?" Murong Zhan asked.
It seems that A Yi's disappearance was concealed. If he and Ye Zhen hadn't come back, maybe no one would think of A Yi at all.
Is Murong Ke hiding this matter because he doesn't want to startle the snake
"I practiced it for him, so I drank a few glasses of wine." Lu Xiangzhi said, "The little prince seems to be very happy. In recent years, the emperor...I mean the former sixth prince, I want him to be a part of the court." Ah Yi refused several times to be a half-official, preferring to be an idle king in the palace."
"A Yi's character is lazy, so the idle king is suitable." Murongzhan said in a low voice, but Ah Yi's idle king should still be different from before.
Lu Xiangzhi could vaguely hear that something was wrong.
"Brother Mo, did something happen to the little prince?" Lu Xiangzhi asked.
"It's okay." Murong Zhan stood up. Since he was hiding everything, he would not speak for the time being until he found Ah Yi.
"If the little prince knows that you are back, he will be very happy." Lu Xiangzhi said with a smile.
Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly, "Yes."
Lu Xiangzhi saw that Murong Zhan fell silent, and he didn't know how to find a topic.
"Accompany me to the palace." Murong Zhan said suddenly.
"Ah?" Lu Xiangzhi asked coldly, to the palace? The little prince is not here, why go to him
Mo Rongzhan had already stood up, "Let's go."
"The little prince is not here..." Lu Xiangzhi shouted, and hurriedly followed Mo Rongzhan.
He found sadly that he couldn't outrun an invisible person.
