Du Heng had an anxious look on his face: "But my subordinates are afraid that Lord Wan live may have noticed something. If Lord Wan live really wants to make Concubine Wan Gui his queen, then this time Lord Wan live must have joined forces with Concubine Wan Gui and King Baojun to persuade the general. If that's true, what's the point? General, should you immediately inform the Minister of War, Ma Ruilin, to take action first and get in front of the Royal Forest Army..."
"No, no matter how quick Marilin reacts, it is not easy to dispatch troops and generals without the decree of Lord Long Live. Besides, this is in the capital. No matter how fast, how can he be faster than the imperial guards? And maybe even the city gates are under martial law now. ," Lu Zhishan shook his head, his expression was relaxed, "Besides, isn't Zhou Chi's memorial coming? Master Wan Sui must be determined to eliminate the Wan family."
"But General! This is too risky. If Long Live Lord targets the general, there will be big trouble! We must not sit still and wait for death!" Du Heng gritted his teeth and said, "Although there are not many brothers in the capital, we must It’s not impossible to defend Prince Ning’s Mansion to the death.”
"I said it's not necessary," Lu Zhishan said solemnly, "If Long Live Master wants to take action against me, there is no need to go into such a big fight. Just retreat."
"Yes, I obey." Du Heng had no choice but to bow and retreat.
"Cousin, are you really okay?" After Du Heng retreated, Mu Nanzhi hurriedly asked Lu Zhishan, "What if it is really as Du Heng speculated? Is it possible that you just sit back and wait for death? No, this way It’s too risky, you should leave the city now…”
"Nanny, don't worry, I can still guess a little bit about your father's thoughts," Lu Zhishan said with a smile while smoothing Mu Nanzhi's slightly frowned eyebrows, "Think about it, Queen Chunxiao's new death, the Queen Mother While he was still ill, the news came out early in the harem that Concubine Wan Gui was about to be enthroned as empress. My father always attached great importance to filial piety, and I am afraid he would have been extremely angry. He had been holding it in for a long time before he yelled anxiously after the first month. It's obvious who the target is, if the father wants to attack me, he can just summon me into the palace and imprison me directly, so why bother to go to war like this? "
"If you're not afraid of ten thousand, you're afraid of the worst." Mu Nanzhi felt a little calmer, but still a little uneasy, "Cousin, I'm really afraid that something will happen to you."
"Nothing will happen to me," Lu Zhishan gently rubbed Mu Nanzhi's dry lips with his fingertips, "I promised you that we will die in bed from now on."
Mu Nanzhi's eyes suddenly heated up: "Just remember."
"I remember, remember it all the time, so I will never play with my own life." Lu Zhishan said every word seriously.

Yanxi Palace.
As soon as the first lunar month came out, Long live the Lord couldn't wait to summon Concubine Wan Gui to come to bed with him. Concubine Wan Gui couldn't help being happy. She had been busy taking baths and incense since the afternoon. Although she was over forty, she had taken good care of herself, so she was still in good shape. She is slim and has exquisite facial features. If you don't look carefully, you can't even see the faint fine lines at the corners of her eyes. Today, she was specially dressed up carefully, making her look even more charming.
"Your Majesty, these are the new clothes that Long Live Master has just asked the Needlework Bureau to send to you." The little maid kneeled down and brought a tray to Concubine Wan Gui, her face beaming with joy. "I am very happy! This is the talent of the Empress." The auspicious dress of Feiluo, golden thorns and five phoenixes, Long Live the Lord really loves the Empress."
