"Yes, it's just that Dali was defeated in the end, and it was a complete defeat," Lu Zhishan curled his lips in self-mockery, "A huge country actually has to pay tribute to that small barbarian country every year and send so many innocent people. Woman, it’s really shameful and ridiculous.”
"It would have been better if there had been no sudden floods in the Lancang River," Mu Nanzhi sighed. "I heard that the battle was supposed to be a sure thing, but there was a sudden flood in the Lancang River, cutting off General Zhao's 40,000 reinforcements. In the end, it was It’s a pity to lose.”
"Yeah, it would be nice if there wasn't that flood." Lu Zhishan said solemnly, his eyes condensed.
"Cousin, will Long Live Lord make Prince Bao the crown prince?" Mu Nanzhi suddenly asked after a long silence.
Lu Zhishan wiped Mu Nanzhi's head and asked, "What? Do you think Long Live Lord will make Prince Bao the crown prince?"
"Now that Prince Gong is dead, the prince may not be able to make a comeback. The fifth prince is not a bad person, but he is implicated by Concubine Li, so he is afraid that he will not be able to accomplish anything in the future." Mu Nanzhi and Lu Zhishan analyzed, "But Baojun The Wang has always been smart and intelligent, and is very popular with the Lord Long Live. Moreover, Concubine Wan Gui and the Empress have been fighting against each other for so many years. Naturally, he is somewhat capable, and naturally he is willing to run for his son. Now everyone's eyes are fixed on him. Where is Baojun Prince’s Mansion?”
"According to Nannan's analysis, the crown prince must be none other than Prince Baojun." Lu Zhishan nodded.
"Who cares about him? No matter who becomes the crown prince or who aspires to be the crown prince in the future, as long as he doesn't have the intention of harming us," Mu Nanzhi said with an indifferent expression as he leaned over and kissed Lu Zhi. Shan, "Cousin, do you think so?"
"Yes, if people don't harm me, I won't harm others." Lu Zhishan said with a smile.

Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Royal study room.
Zhao Ruhai took his apprentice Xiao Anzi and laid out the meals. Lu Mingwei didn't have a good appetite at this time and was too lazy to move. He ate three meals a day in the imperial study room.
"Long live Lord, please rest for a while, lunch is ready." Zhao Ruhai walked to the dragon case and said to Lu Mingwei respectfully.
"How is the Queen Mother?" Lu Mingwei did not raise his head, still staring at the memorial.
"In response to Master Long Live, the Queen Mother came here today to report that the Queen Mother still has a loss of appetite and lack of energy, but she has slept more peacefully in the past two days, and she is not as sleepless as before," Zhao Ruhai hurriedly replied, adding , "The Taiyuan Hospital also reported back on the Queen's condition. The Queen's condition continues to relapse, and she is depressed all day long. The Queen's illness is not in her mind, so the head of the hospital Qin can only prescribe some calming decoctions for the Queen."
"I understand, then let the Queen Mother and the Empress rest well," Lu Mingwei nodded, with a calm face showing no emotion. He took the brush from the pen holder, approved a note, put it on the table, and said to Zhao Ru Haidao said, "After lunch, call Fang Zeduan into the palace."
"Yes, I obey," Zhao Ruhai agreed, adding, "Long live my lord, it's time to eat."
Lu Mingwei then put down his brush, got up and sat down on the soft couch. Xiao Anzi hurriedly brought water to Lu Mingwei to cleanse his hands. Lu Mingwei picked up a chopstick of braised winter bamboo shoots in oil and ate it while asking casually. Zhao Ruhai: "What has Prince Hui done today?"
