"I want to go..." The child closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then raised his head and looked at Lu Zhishan unblinkingly, "You asked me if I don't want to go anywhere now, I just want to stay with you, nothing. If you don’t do it, it will be so beautiful if I just stay with you every day.”
Lu Zhishan held the child's face and kissed him again and again, his heart almost melted: "Okay, then let's just stay like this."
"Cousin, I'm sleepy," Mu Nanzhi said vaguely while yawning, "I want to sleep."
"Go to sleep." Lu Zhishan also lay down and fell asleep with the child in his arms, his big hand still gently patting the child's back.
"cousin… "
As if sleeping but not sleeping, Lu Zhishan heard the child calling him. He was so busy that he turned his head: "Nanny, what's wrong?"
"I want to go to Xiahe Village to watch the lanterns." The child whispered.
"Okay, it's just that the Queen Mother is newly mourning. You can't leave the city in the first month, let alone the Lantern Festival. Then we will go to Xiahe Village after the first month." Lu Zhishan said softly, "We will make up for it then. Come on, let’s put the river lantern together.”
"Okay, I want to put the Qionghua."
"Okay, put another little red plum blossom."
"good."
But before Lu Zhishan and Mu Nanzhi went to Chengxiahe Village, something big happened in the capital. On the evening of the first day of February, the palace was suddenly under martial law, and the Royal Guards were suddenly ordered to take over the residences of the princes.
At that time, Lu Zhishan and Mu Nanzhi were discussing in the backyard when to leave the city. Lu Zhishan wanted to take Mu Nanzhi out of the city as soon as possible to relax, but Mu Nanzhi was afraid that he would rush out of the city as soon as the first month came out, fearing that it would be too late. It was irritating, so the two of them later agreed on a date in mid-February, not too early and not too late, just right.
"General!" Du Heng hurriedly ran into the backyard and entered the main hall without any time to announce. He was sweating profusely and his eyes were full of panic. Such a look was really rare on the face of the usually steady Du Heng. "General! Something big has happened!"
Lu Zhishan and Mu Nanzhi both changed their faces immediately. Before Lu Zhishan could speak, Mu Nanzhi spoke first: "Is there something big going on in the palace again? Tell me quickly!"
This year, there has been no peace. Mu Nanzhi is worried to death. Why is it so uneasy
"Prince and concubine, I have just received the news that the Long Live Lord suddenly ordered martial law in the palace, and at the same time asked the Royal Guards to take over the residences of the princes." Du Heng was so anxious that he was sweating, "I'm afraid that the Royal Guards will be here soon. Come back to our house."
Mu Nanzhi was shocked: "Do you know what the big deal happened? Why is it that the first month of the new year has just begun, and Long live the Lord has made such a big move?"
Lu Zhishan pondered for a long time, patted Mu Nanzhi on the shoulder, looked at Du Heng, and said solemnly: "Long Live Master attacks the palace and the prince's palace at the same time. He probably plans to deal with the harem and the prince at the same time. Most likely, he wants to deal with Concubine Wan Gui." Prince He Baojun took action."
Mu Nanzhi was startled: "Isn't there a lot of bad news outside recently, saying that Lord Long Live intends to appoint Concubine Wan Gui as Queen after the Queen Mother's filial piety period is over? How could Lord Long Live take action against Concubine Wan Gui at this time?"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple," Lu Zhishan said, while looking at Du Heng, "You should not do anything in our house. Just give the order. No one in the palace can wait for a conflict with the Imperial Guards. They must be calm and honest. Everything is as ordered by the Imperial Guard."
