Zhang Shou had heard the words "imperial attendant" before, because he had experienced the attack of the rebels and the assassination in Cuiyun. After the background of the enemy was found out, he had heard these words before. Moreover, there was a boy around him who almost got stabbed and became an imperial attendant. Now he even felt lucky for Ah Liu when he thought about it. If he got stabbed, he would not be a man!
Ah Liu himself always felt lucky that he could not become a close attendant to the emperor. Therefore, after he mentioned these four words, although he could not see the expression of Zhang Shou who was sitting there with his back to him, he could sense Zhang Shou's mood swings from the slight tremors of his back and shoulders.
Therefore, he just stood there in silence for a moment, then asked again: "The people are in the backyard of the Lu Mansion. The madman and the eldest lady are both there. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Zhang Shou glanced at Zhang Chen who was still drinking at a table not far away. He thought that Lu Sanlang had already slipped back to his room to enjoy his wedding night, and the Fourth Prince had been sent away by Lu Wan like a plague god. He didn't have to worry about the naughty boy causing trouble again. He nodded and said, "Go and pick up Zhang Chen. I'll go say hello to Lu Jijiu and then I'll go over."
Borrowing someone else's place, and the person he captured was a close imperial servant, if he didn't say hello to the master, it would be too arrogant. However, just as Zhang Shou expected, when he personally came to the door and mentioned this to Lu Wan who was seeing him off, Lu Wan, who originally thought he was coming to say goodbye before leaving, suddenly changed color.
Zhang Shou only needed one sentence to calm Lu Wan, who was about to explode, down: "That guy was captured by Ah Liu and Hua Qiye together. Hua Qiye is the emperor's man."
Thinking back to when he had tried every possible means to overthrow Duke Zhao Zhu Jing and his son, and how he had ended up with countless impeachments from the censors, and how Lord Jiang and Grand Secretary Kong had provided countless support, both overtly and covertly, yet he had ultimately lost everything, and when he heard that the most trusted retainer of the Duke Zhao's mansion was actually the emperor's man, Lu Wan heaved a deep sigh in his heart.
The lunatic most trusted by Duke Zhao turned out to be the emperor's man... Maybe he was not just the current emperor's man. Judging from his age and the merits he had made with Zhu Jing, he might have been the man of the previous Emperor Ruizong! Zhu Jing had already done this, so it was natural for two generations of emperors to trust such a relative!
If he were the emperor, a relative who could calmly keep the emperor's confidants by his side would also believe it without a doubt!
With this in mind, and thinking about the fact that Hua Qi and Ah Liu had caught an imperial attendant in his own home, Lu Wan no longer felt angry, but rather felt fortunate. He nodded and said solemnly, "Then I'll leave it all to you, Master Zhang."
When Zhang Shou and Ah Liu took the drunk Zhang Chen to a courtyard deep inside the Lu Mansion, he saw that there was no one there, only the main room was still lit. However, it was silent inside, and there was no interrogation scene as he had imagined. When he arrived at the door, he coughed and lifted the thick cotton curtain to go in, and saw Zhu Ying yawning while leaning against the Luohan bed.
