Lu Zhishan nodded, and Xiao Anzi hurriedly took the surrender letter and presented it. Lu Zhishan took it in his hand, turned it over gently, and then closed it again. His eyes fell on Lu Zhicheng again, slowly He said: "Fifth brother has made great military achievements. It's no problem that he will be promoted to a noble rank. But does fifth brother have anything to explain?"
Lu Zhicheng's face became even paler, and his lips trembled even more. He breathed for a while, and finally regained his composure: "Brother Huang Mingjian, I have always been stupid, and my qualifications are mediocre, but I have been taught by Sir, I have studied the books of sages diligently. Loyalty, justice, benevolence and filial piety are my credo in this life, and I dare not violate them."
"You don't dare to be disobedient, but it's hard for others to tell you," Lu Zhishan said calmly, paused, and then said to Du Heng, "Bring Princess Linglong here."
"Yes, my subordinates will go right away." Du Heng was so busy that he bowed to accept the order.
As soon as he heard the name of Princess Linglong, Lu Zhicheng's face turned uglier. Mu Nanzhi looked at him and suddenly pointed at the screen in the palace and said to him: "Fifth brother, please hide behind the screen first." ”
Lu Zhicheng was startled, not quite understanding what Mu Nanzhi meant, but Lu Zhishan nodded: "Fifth brother, go behind the screen."
"Yes." Lu Zhicheng had no choice but to hide behind the screen.
Mu Nanzhi glanced at the flower-covered screen, reached out and patted Lu Zhishan's hand, and whispered: "I see that Prince Hui doesn't seem to know."
Lu Zhishan said softly: "Let's see what Princess Linglong says."
Mu Nanzhi shook his head, a little embarrassed: "But if she keeps pretending to be crazy and acting stupid, we won't be able to find out why."
"Didn't Princess Jing'an say that she stopped crying as soon as she entered the palace?" Lu Zhishan said with a smile, "She has been holding it in for so many years, and I'm afraid she can't hold it in anymore, and now I'm afraid it will be the end." ”
The two of them were whispering this when they watched Du Heng enter the main hall, followed by Princess Linglong, who was supported by two palace maids. Princess Linglong was dressed in plain clothes, with long hair hanging down, covering half of her face, and she looked very miserable. , but her eyes are extremely sharp, how does she look like a crazy woman
Du Heng bowed and said: "Long live my Lord, Princess Linglong has been brought here."
Lu Zhishan nodded and looked at Princess Linglong: "Linglong, how long has it been since we brother and sister saw each other?"
"Since my father was buried on November 11, he has been missing for six days." Princess Linglong stood upright in the center of the hall, looking directly at Lu Zhishan, and said slowly.
"Look at this, Linglong's madness is cured," Lu Zhishan pursed his lips and said slowly, "Then, does Linglong have anything to say to me, your elder brother?"
"Brother?" Linglong said with a serious smile and disdain in her eyes, "A bastard born from a mere humble servant is worthy of being my brother?"
Mu Nanzhi's brows suddenly wrinkled into the word "Chuan". She was about to yell, but her hand was held by Lu Zhishan. The man's warm fingertips gently rubbed her hand. Mu Nanzhi Her brows relaxed with the caressing, and then she listened to the man say: "Oh, I didn't know Linglong had always held such a grudge against me."
"I can't say I hold a grudge, I just despise you," Princess Linglong sneered, while gently smoothing her long hair, she continued to speak slowly, "In the past, everyone said that my father loved the eldest prince the most. I want to support the eldest prince to take over the East Palace, but I don’t think so.”
