"But it's good to have a princess, so that you don't have to be constantly stared at by so many pairs of eyes, making it inconvenient to get in and out."
Du Heng also nodded and agreed: "Speaking of it, it is better for the general to marry the Princess of Korea than the noble daughter of Dali. The Princess of Korea left her hometown to marry into the palace and has to rely on the general for everything. Naturally, it is easier to control than the noble daughter of Dali. I will definitely not miss the general’s important event.”
"Prince, the medicinal bath has been prepared." Song Fu came in holding up the curtain to report.
Du Heng was so busy that he helped Lu Zhishan to the backyard.
Jiasheng December 19th
Cullen sent a secret message.
Lu Zhishan read the secret letter and handed it to Du Heng. After Du Hengfu took a few glances, he was filled with joy and said, "Princess Duanhui and Shuo's ideas coincide with ours."
Lu Zhishan Min took a sip of tea, said nothing, and his eyes were a little deep.
Du Heng didn't notice Lu Zhishan's emotions, so he read the letter carefully again, and then smiled: "Princess is a noble person, and marrying a barbarian from Beidi is extremely wronged. The princess has endured it for so many years, and she is still the same now." We have run out of patience. Since we can help, we might as well help. In the future, there will be a princess in Beidi, stability in the northwest of Dali is in sight, and General Zhao can also train his troops with peace of mind. It seems that Xie Lun has not been traveling between Dali and Beidi in vain for the past six months. between."
Lu Zhishan still said nothing. He reached for the letter on the table, put it on the candle and ignited it. He looked at the beautiful flames and threw the letter into the brazier.
Only then did Du Heng notice something strange about Lu Zhishan and asked cautiously: "General, is there nothing wrong with this?"
Lu Zhishan said nothing, and watched the letter burn out without blinking, and finally turned into a pair of ashes. He suddenly remembered four years ago.
It was also winter, and it was freezing cold. Duan had a new funeral, and no one came to pay homage. Only the girl came to express condolences in plain clothes. He could not remember much what the girl said to him that day. He only remembered the girl Jing Jing. Sitting quietly next to him, he and he threw paper money into the brazier in tacit agreement.
The weather was surprisingly good that day, but it was also freezing cold, but the brazier filled with ashes gave off a strange warmth.
"Have there been any contact between the Fourth Prince's Mansion and Princess Duanhui Heshuo's Mansion recently?" Lu Zhishan suddenly asked after a long silence.
Du Heng was startled. He really didn't understand why Lu Zhishan mentioned the Fourth Prince and County Lord Mu at this time. After a pause, he replied: "After the autumn hunting, the Fourth Prince rewarded the County Lord with two fox skins. The County Lord returned I bought two boxes of pastries from the Fourth Prince. On the county lord’s birthday last month, the fourth prince sent someone to send a set of mutton-fat jade jewelry. County lord Mu came to thank him the next day. Apart from that, there was no other exchange. However, recently The Empress summoned County Lord Mu to the palace twice."
After a long silence, Lu Zhishan said in a deep voice: "Reply to the princess and tell her that now is not the best time yet and ask her to endure it."
Du Heng was shocked: "General, think twice! Now is the best time. It's freezing cold and there's no weather. The Beidi royal family is most afraid of something happening at this time. If something happens, they don't dare to make a fuss. If they miss this year, they'll have to wait again." Last year…”
"Just do it." Lu Zhishan waved his hand irritably, interrupting Du Heng's words.
"Yes, I understand." Du Heng had no choice but to retreat.
There was silence in the room, and Lu Zhishan rubbed his temples tiredly: "Song Fu, go bring me a bowl of milk tea."
