Mu Nanzhi nodded, took the milk tea from Lu Zhishan, drank half the cup in one breath, and then turned to Lu Zhishan: "Cousin, I heard that the guards in Princess Linglong's house are all Hui The prince personally dialed it. Speaking of which, this matter is against the rules. After all, the guards of the princess palace should be in charge of the imperial bell army. Do you know what is going on? "
Lu Zhishan nodded: "Yes, Prince Hui once told me about this before going to southern Xinjiang. Concubine Li died suddenly, and Princess Linglong was so stimulated that she suffered a brain attack. Prince Hui rushed to the scene again at that time. I was about to go to the front line, and I was very worried about my only eldest sister, so I specially selected a guard I trusted to go over, and I agreed to this. "
Mu Nanzhi pursed his lips and said, "So these guards are naturally the most aware of Princess Linglong's every move. So can they all report it to Prince Hui?"
For a moment, the four of them were speechless. Du Heng and Princess Jing'an subconsciously looked towards Lu Zhishan, while Lu Zhishan stared at the safety buckle on his waist in silence.
Before the four of them could say anything, Xiao Anzi, who was standing outside, had already hurried in to report.
"Long live Lord Qi, Prince Huijun has arrived outside Qianqing Palace."
Lu Zhishan raised his head, faced the setting sun outside the door, and said slowly: "Please come in, Prince Hui."
"Yes, I obey." Xiao Anzi hurriedly bowed and retreated.
"Cousin, Princess Jing'an and I will go in first." Mu Nanzhi stood up and told Lu Zhishan that it was not convenient for a woman from the harem to be present at such an occasion and such a big event. Besides, she also knew that Lu Zhishan In fact, he didn't want to drag her into this dirty thing between brothers.
But this time, Lu Zhishan took her hand: "Nanny, sit down."
Mu Nanzhi was startled: "Cousin, I'm afraid it won't be good for me to be here, so I'd better avoid it."
Lu Zhishan shook his head and said slowly: "Nanny, there is an old thing that you have always wanted to know, and I also want to know. Please stay here and let these siblings explain it to us today."
Mu Nanzhi paused, then sat back silently.
Indeed, there was an old incident that she had always wondered about.

Qianqing Palace.
main hall.
Along the way, Prince Hui looked at his guards kneeling all over the courtyard. He was shocked and surprised, and then despaired. When he entered the hall, his face was pale and his forehead was covered with blood. There were thin beads of sweat.
"My dear brother, pay homage to the Lord Long Live, and pay homage to the Queen!" Lu Zhicheng respectfully saluted the two emperors and empresses who were sitting on the throne. The blood-red sunset was half blocked by the door curtain, and he could not see clearly Lu Zhishan and Mu Nanzhi. From his face, he could only see the hems of the two of them stacked together. The obvious blood stains on the expensive clothes were so dazzling that when he spoke again, his voice was trembling, "Long live your Majesty, the Queen." install!"
"Fifth brother, you are returning to Beijing now with good news, right?" Lu Zhishan said slowly. Against the light, he couldn't see Lu Zhicheng's face clearly, but he could clearly see Qinghei. On the floor tiles, his hands were shaking violently.
"Yes, a great victory in southern Xinjiang. On the twenty-seventh of last month, the southwest army annihilated more than 20,000 Siamese forward troops. The Siamese were defeated and submitted a letter of surrender to our southwest army," Lu Zhicheng said while speaking from his arms. He took out the letter of surrender and presented it with both hands, while saying, "It coincides with the great joy of the emperor's brother's enthronement, so I personally sent the news of victory to the capital."
