"Heart disease?" Lu Zhishan frowned, "Is it serious?"

"Although the Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion tried its best to conceal it, today while the Marquis and his wife took the prince to the hunting ground in the western suburbs, his subordinates sneaked into the Marquis Mansion and dug out the prescription. The subordinate went to see the four doctors with the copied prescription. , it is said to be a prescription for treating heart disease, and according to the dosage of the prescription, the prince should have suffered from heart disease since he was a child. He was just pampered and raised in the Marquis Mansion, so he has maintained it well. However, the disease was brought from his mother's womb. , I’m afraid I won’t be able to recover in this life, and I may not live long.”

"Okay, leave all other matters to Du Heng. You only have one thing to do, keep an eye on the Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion."

Du Heng is also Lu Zhi's personal bodyguard. Compared with Xie Lun's intelligence, Du Heng is more stable and mature, and he is good at financial management and arithmetic, so he has been taking care of Zhuangzi under Ningjun Prince's Palace in these years.

"Yes, I obey."

"Okay, you go down."

"Yes, I am resigning."

Lu Zhishan pushed away the millet and yam porridge in front of him, his expression gloomy.

The eldest son of the Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion married the prince of the Princess Heshuo Mansion. This marriage was considered to be a well-matched match, but it would have been a different story if the eldest son had such a body. The Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion was clearly hiding the illness of the young prince, This marriage can be regarded as deceiving the emperor's favor of marriage.

But why does the Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion try so hard to hide the illness of the young prince? Even if the emperor does not grant a marriage, given the status of the Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion, there are many noble girls for the young prince to choose, so why does the emperor insist on granting a marriage

...Perhaps there is something in that girl that the Zhongyuan Houfu wants

The sixth day of October in the seventeenth year of Jiasheng

Queen Mother Xu Shumin's sixty-sixth birthday.

Lu Zhishan returned to Beijing a year ago and has never left the house, so his legs are in good condition. Although he still has a slight limp when walking, he no longer needs help. However, after autumn, his knees began to ache again. , the imperial doctor came to take a look, and just opened a few more jars of ointment and told him not to walk, but to stay in bed to recuperate. No matter how uncomfortable he was, he couldn't miss the Queen Mother's birthday.

Lu Zhishan had already asked Song Fu to prepare it. Xu Shumin always liked magnificence the most, so Lu Zhishan prepared an eight-screen red sandalwood double-sided screen with carved blessings and longevity. The front is made of Shu brocade and Su embroidered with a phoenix piercing peony pattern, and the back is made of Sixty-six longevity characters in different fonts are embroidered with gold thread. Whether you look at it from a distance or take a closer look, the workmanship of this screen is of the highest quality. It is very luxurious and elegant. Although it is a bit tacky, it is very consistent with Lu Zhishan's twelve expeditions. Years of warrior character.

When he woke up this morning, Lu Zhishan felt that his knees were three times more painful than yesterday. He gritted his teeth and supported the bedpost, stood up, and when he managed to walk to the outer hall, thin beads of sweat were already oozing out on his forehead. .

Song Fu looked on and felt distressed. He wanted to go forward to help him, but was pushed away by Lu Zhishan. Today he was going to the palace to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday. He must not let anyone help him. At this time in the house, he wanted to Hurry up and adapt.

"Your Majesty, otherwise this servant will go into the palace to report that the leg disease has returned, so you should not enter the palace." Song Fu's heart clenched as he looked at it, "My lord, you are afraid that you won't even be able to leave the palace, so what?" Can you enter the palace?"

Carriages are not allowed to enter the palace gate, and it takes a stick of incense to walk from the nearest palace gate to Shoukang Palace. Lu Zhishan's current situation, it is really inappropriate to enter the palace in a sedan chair, and it is to pay homage to the Queen Mother's birthday, let alone sit in it. Get out of the sedan chair, so as not to be accused of being disrespectful and unfilial.
