Lu Zhishan nodded and affirmed: "I will never admit my mistake."

Du Heng asked suspiciously: "General, why do you mean to be so sure?"

"Because I met him once when I was a child," Lu Zhishan said calmly. "When my mother-in-law was dying, she was speechless and kept holding my hand and crying. I cried with her and asked my father if I could To save my concubine, my father later gave me a Heaven and Earth Tongshou Pill. My concubine lived an extra day. My father came to me and told me that it was the secret medicine of the Dali royal family. Pills, but with the sudden death of Dr. Xu, I am afraid they will become extinct. "

After a period of silence, Du Heng changed the subject again and continued his analysis: "So, what happened is like this. A mysterious figure in the royal family found the Taoist priest and took him to that remote courtyard. , tortured the Taoist priest to force him to confess, and the Taoist priest fainted from the pain. Later, he was fed the Tiandi Tongshou Pills, which made it difficult for the Taoist priest to even want to die. The Taoist priest could not bear the torture, and finally told the secret. The Taoist priest was silenced. Ten days later, Viscount Buren's mansion was suddenly hit by a fire, and his whole family was buried in the flames. Dali Temple only said that the fire was an accident. Now it seems that Viscount Buren's mansion was silenced, but that Who is the mysterious man? What secrets did he get from the Taoist priest? "

Lu Zhishan stared at the Tiandi Tongshou Pill for a long time before speaking: "From now on, you will carefully watch the Heshuo Princess Mansion. No matter where County Master Mu goes, someone will secretly protect him."

Du Heng touched his nose: "Doesn't the general not allow his subordinates to be talkative women?"

The corner of Lu Zhishan's mouth twitched: "...get out."

After Du Heng retreated, Lu Zhishan still stared at the Tiandi Tongshou Pill in silence. He didn't know what secret the mysterious person in the royal family needed to get from the Taoist priest, but for this secret, he even went so far as to kill the entire family of Viscount Buren. This shows how important it is to keep this secret.

He vaguely realized that this secret should be related to Mu Nanzhi. He thought about the confessions of Deng and the Taoist priest, and lived them word by word in his mind.

The young prince was born with a disease... He needed the heart blood of a noble girl from the north to make medicine... Mu Nanzhi came to Beijing... His zodiac signs were all consistent with the noble girl from the north... Deng proposed to marry Mu Nanzhi on behalf of the young prince... The Taoist priest felt pity for the general. The matter was revealed... Deng went to die... The Taoist priest could not withstand the torture and confessed his secrets and was killed... Ten days later, the Viscount Buren's house was destroyed...

Which link holds the secret

Who is that mysterious royal person

Lu Zhishan couldn't figure it out. He just knew that the royal family was afraid of holding back a disaster, and Mu Nanzhi would also be involved. He had to protect Mu Nanzhi.

Jiasheng 19th Double Ninth Festival

Dali attaches great importance to filial piety, and the royal family sets an example for the world. Every year during the Double Ninth Festival, the descendants of the royal family pay homage to their ancestors and enter the palace to pay their respects to the Queen Mother. Lu Zhishan has not been there for several years due to leg illness. This year, the Queen Mother issued an edict and said she wanted to see her. When he saw him, the great grandson of the emperor, Lu Zhishan got up early, took a bath, burned incense, changed clothes, and combed his hair. Not daring to be careless at all, Song Fu inserted a piece of dogwood in his bun.

After finishing dressing, Lu Zhishan limped out of the hall. Song Fu's eyes couldn't help but follow Lu Zhishan's footsteps. He moved the corners of his mouth and silently followed Lu Zhishan out of the second door, supporting Lu Zhishan. He crossed the high threshold and climbed into the carriage with great difficulty.
