"Yeah, we don't dare, but he dares," Lu Zhicheng said solemnly, and then suddenly curled his lips in self-mockery, "Just like in the past, which prince didn't want to stick to the capital? He spends all his time with his father. He had a good future ahead of him, but he didn't care about it at all and went to the front line of southern Xinjiang alone to defend his family and country as a soldier. He stayed there for twelve years and ended up with scars all over his body and a broken leg. My father was disgusted that his future was lost, but he had no regrets for being against him. Now he is even willing to seek an explanation for the people of Southern Xinjiang, even throwing away his wealth and life. How can this be compared to ordinary people like us? Worthy?"
The guard looked at Lu Zhicheng's expression and felt that Lu Zhicheng's mood today was a bit strange. He brought Lu Zhicheng a cup of tea and said, "My lord, how do you think Long Live the Lord will deal with Prince Ning this time?"
"I don't know," Lu Zhicheng took a sip of tea and said after a while, "Father's attitude towards Prince Ning has always been very strange. After all these years, I have never been able to figure it out."
The guard was puzzled: "Strange? Doesn't Long Live Lord always hate Prince Ning the most?"
"Disgusted? If you are disgusted, how can you let him, a defeated general, become the first-class prince? When the late emperor was alive, didn't he value his father's affection for licking calves the most? It can be seen that the father really loved the emperor back then. Brother, maybe I still love you now, but I can’t compare it to the past.” Lu Zhicheng smiled faintly, and said slowly, “Speaking of disgust, it’s just because of the defeat of Hue, but even the culprit back then was too late. The reinforcements from Zhao Jingting have now reached the rank of General Cullen. How much does the father hate Prince Ning? But doesn’t the father dislike Prince Ning? No, the attitude shown by the father is definitely not fake, he does. He also dislikes Prince Ning, probably because he is afraid of Prince Ning's prestige in the military. Therefore, his father must have given up on setting up Prince Ning as his heir long ago, so it is not so much that he dislikes Prince Ning, but rather that he is afraid of him. Prince Ning.”
"Judging from the current situation, who does Long Live Lord intend to appoint as his heir?" The guard frowned, "Prince Huai missed the opportunity, and now he is infamous because of Ruan Xinhuai's incident. Prince Baojun has been After being demoted to a commoner, the only remaining princes in the capital are Prince Ning and you. Is it possible that Long Live Lord plans to make you the crown prince? "
Lu Zhicheng's heart was in a mess. He thought about how Lu Mingwei asked him to take over all war preparation matters a few days ago. His heart was in a mess, as if grass had grown.
"I don't know," Lu Zhicheng still shook his head and sighed softly, "I have never been able to understand my father, and since he deposed the prince, my father's thoughts have become more and more unpredictable."
"But this time, Prince Huai publicly executed the court officials and punished Prince Huai with a stick. Long live the Lord was furious. It was possible that Prince Huai was imprisoned. Maybe Prince Huai would eventually fall in love with Prince Baojun. "The same fate," the guard said hurriedly, "You are the only one left in the court. Your Majesty, you must seize the opportunity!"
Lu Zhicheng frowned and was about to speak when he saw the housekeeper trot in hurriedly and bowed: "Your Majesty, Long Live the Lord has summoned you to enter the palace immediately."
"Change my clothes." Lu Zhicheng put down the tea cup and stood up.
"Yes." The butler was busy helping Lu Zhicheng change into court clothes.
