Lu Zhishan opened his eyes slightly: "Is the imperial doctor here?"
"Long live the Lord, the imperial doctor has already gone in," Du Heng said, "It's just that Prince Huai's illness was sudden. It happened that the head of the Qin Academy went to Jietai Temple to see the young prince. He is not in the capital now, so he came here. Dr. Zhang, but Dr. Zhang has always been responsible for asking Prince Huai for Ping An’s pulse. He knows Prince Huai’s body best, so it is appropriate to let Dr. Zhang go at this time.”
"It's best to have Qin Lu here at this time," Lu Zhishan asked as he got out of the carriage, "Have you ordered someone to go to Jietai Temple to invite Qin Lu?"
Du Heng nodded: "My subordinates have sent people to Jietai Temple, but they will not be able to get back until evening."
Lu Zhishan got off the carriage, straightened his cloak, and raised his head slightly to look at the four large characters "Prince Huai's Mansion" on the scarlet plaque on the gate. After a long while, he said slowly: "You are right."
Du Heng was startled: "Long live my lord, what did you say?"
Lu Zhishan said slowly: "Prince Huai's illness was too sudden."
Du Heng frowned and said with a sneer on his face: "Isn't that right? It doesn't matter if he chooses this time sooner or later. He is here to die or live, and he specially asked people to enter the palace to invite Lord Long Live to come over. If Lord Long Live is unwilling, Come here and spread the word, doesn't it mean that Long Live Lord already doesn't care about brotherhood before he ascends the throne? He really has a good plan."
Lu Zhishan looked calm and said calmly: "Let's go in and have a look."
"Yes." At that moment, Du Heng accompanied Lu Zhishan into Prince Huai's Mansion.

backyard.
As soon as Lu Zhishanfu entered the backyard, all the imperial guards and the servants from Prince Huai's Mansion were so busy that they bowed and saluted: "I have seen Long Live Lord! Long live Lord's blessing!"
Lu Zhishan nodded: "Everyone, get up."
"Long live thanks!"
"How is Prince Huai?" Lu Zhishan asked a familiar guard at the door. This guard was originally Du Heng's subordinate. He couldn't name him, but he recognized the face.
The guard was so busy that he bowed and said: "Long live my lord, Prince Huai has been depressed since he was imprisoned, but his health is not serious. It's just that since Princess Huai and the young prince moved out, Prince Huai's body has deteriorated." It's not as good as before. I often can't sleep at night. During this period, I was even more drunk every day. Last night I drank until midnight again, and today I fell asleep early in the morning. The maid discovered that Prince Huai had a high fever. Then I went to the Imperial Hospital and asked the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor said that the situation was not good, and Prince Huai has not woken up yet. "
Lu Zhishan was startled when he heard this: "Prince Huai has never woken up?"
The guard hurriedly said: "Yes, Prince Huai has been sleeping for a long time and has not woken up yet."
Lu Zhishan's face suddenly became solemn, and Du Heng's expression also darkened. He suddenly tightened his grip on the handle of the knife, and suddenly the sword was unsheathed and guarded in front of Lu Zhishan. At the same time, Lu Zhishan stepped from Du Heng's other waist. He pulled out a sword from his side, and the two of them pressed their backs against each other, one sword at a time.
"General Du, what are you..." The guard didn't know what was going on and was about to ask, but before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened. He lowered his head in disbelief and watched helplessly as a sword passed through him. His chest was penetrated inch by inch, and with dripping blood, he stretched out his hand to hold the handle of the knife. As soon as the knife was unsheathed, he fell straight to the ground.
As soon as the guard fell down, a thin maid with sparse eyebrows and eyes was revealed behind her. She calmly withdrew the bloody sword. While looking at Lu Zhishan and Du Heng coldly, she gently shook the sword. of blood.
