Lu Zhishan's smile deepened: "Song Tong, thank you."
"The general's words are serious," Song Tong shook his head, paused, and said solemnly, "Back then, my father was falsely accused and imprisoned. It was the general who saved my father from the fire and water. He also entrusted me with an important task and made my father the steward of the palace. My father and his subordinates My life belongs to the general, and I really can’t afford the general’s thanks.”
Lu Zhishan said slowly: "It happened so many years ago, there is no need to mention it again."
"Yes, I obey," Song Tong nodded, took a sip of tea, and added, "Before leaving, Princess Duanhui and Shuo asked Wei Chen to bring a message to the general."
Lu Zhishan put down the tea cup and said seriously: "What did the imperial aunt say?"
Song Tong said: "The right lady of Dazhang said that she is grateful to the general for taking care of her two children over the years. I am afraid that she will not be able to thank him in person. She is in Beidi to express her gratitude for the general's kindness and pray for him every day for the rest of her life."
Lu Zhishan sighed and shook his head: "If the emperor's aunt hadn't hurriedly attacked Madam Zuo of Dazhang, the emperor's aunt would not be in the situation she is in today."
Song Tong also sighed and said: "Princess Duanhui Heshuo had her own way back then, and even the ministers could not dissuade her. If Princess Duanhui and Shuo could listen to the general and endure it, then the one who sits on the throne of Beidi Khan today is It’s the little prince’s fault, hey! It’s such a mistake that will cause eternal regret. Fortunately, the general quickly took action to save the little prince, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.”
Lu Zhishan said in a deep voice: "Song Tong, go back and tell the emperor's aunt that I will take good care of the princess and the little prince. In less than ten years, I will help the little prince return to Beidi and help him ascend to the throne."
Song Tong stood up and bowed deeply to Lu Zhishan: "I respect the general's high righteousness."
Lu Zhishan helped him up: "Song Tong, you have been in Beidi all these years so that the emperor's aunt and the little prince can be kept safe. It is I who should thank you."
"I swear to follow the general to the death, and I am willing to kill him for the general's sake!"
"Okay, I know what you mean," Lu Zhishan patted Song Tong on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Go and see Song Fu. He knows you are coming and has been happy for half a month."
"Yes, I'm resigning." Song Tong bowed and left.

East Palace.
The night is dark.
Zhao Ruhai came at night.
After being confined in the East Palace for the past few days, Prince Lu Zhiyue was obviously haggard and thinner. His eyes were sunken, bloodshot, and his lips were chapped. As soon as he heard that Zhao Ruhai was coming, he was so busy that he stumbled out of the dormitory to greet him.
"Eunuch! Eunuch!" Lu Zhiyue grabbed Zhao Ruhai's hand and asked anxiously, "Is my father finally willing to see me? Eunuch, is my father willing to see me?!"
Zhao Ruhai sighed and pushed away Lu Zhiyue's hand, and then said sternly: "This slave, on the orders of Lord Long Live, came to the East Palace to ask the prince three things face to face. The prince knelt down to answer."
Lu Zhiyue's heart suddenly went cold. He slowly knelt on the cold floor tiles, kowtowed and said, "I obey."
Zhao Ruhai said in a deep voice: "I want to ask, does the prince really raise soldiers in private?"
Lu Zhiyue's face turned pale, and he shook his head and waved his hands in a hurry: "I am not raising soldiers! I am just raising dozens of guards. I never thought that I would..."
"That's it," Zhao Ruhai interrupted Lu Zhiyue and said in a deep voice, "Second question, where did the prince's secretly hidden weapons come from? Is it related to the Ministry of War? Does Xu Deliang, the Minister of the Ministry of War, know about it?"
Lu Zhiyue's body suddenly became half shorter, he clenched his fists and said nothing.
