Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 729
He Jiuniang wasn't very sure why the old emperor's feelings for her could quickly change from a relationship between a man and a woman to an elder's concern for a younger generation. But the situation now was obviously much better than before, so she didn't dwell on it and nodded in agreement.

Concubine Liu is not very old, just a few years older than her, so she has quite a conversation with her. She is very interested in her makeup and clothes. The conversation between the two of them develops like this, and they talk to the old and the young next to them. They have nothing to do with each other, but they are still harmonious.

In the study room of the East Palace, Lu Baichuan recounted the news he learned at the city gate last night, and then said: "During this period, the East Palace has sent a large number of people to the capital. I must have completed the plan. I will not go to the military camp these days. Keep an eye on the cell, just in case."

King Chen nodded and said: "I was just about to tell you about this. Some time ago, someone reported that there were many suspicious people entering the city. I also sent people to keep an eye on it, but there was no movement. So far, we haven’t found their stronghold, which is the biggest problem.”

If we find a stronghold, we can still find opportunities to get rid of them first, but now these people have no contact and have not behaved suspiciously since entering the city. It is impossible to deal with them.

Lu Baichuan didn't think much about it at first, thinking that these people came to the city to rob the prison, but after hearing what the prince said, he instantly had doubts.

"Is there a possibility that this is entirely an attempt to make a fool of yourself in the east and attack the west?"

Lu Baichuan also just realized this. This is so unusual.

The prince was also a little confused by this reminder, it seemed that this was indeed possible!

Lu Baichuan continued: "The people of Dongting can't be so obviously stupid. Although those people have disguised themselves, but even so, their large number can still attract our attention. At this time, although there is no explicit prohibition of exchanges between several countries, , but they are not so frequent, and they still use such rough fake documents. This is obviously to attract our attention deliberately. Your Highness, think about it, have you sent many brothers out to follow up recently, but there has been no progress. "

If there are more people sent out to follow, there will be fewer people to actually defend or do other things, which will allow those people to take advantage of the loopholes.

The reason is very simple, but it is not easy to react immediately.

Only then did the prince realize that he had been tricked, and he gritted his teeth in anger.

"In a moment, I will send people to the cell to strengthen the defense. No matter what tricks the Dongting people want to play, we can deal with it."

The prince had a serious look on his face. Fortunately, he discovered it not too late and could still remedy the situation at this time. Otherwise, he would only find out that he had been tricked when the prison was robbed, which would be called a slap in the face.

Before, I thought that nothing would happen for the time being, so I asked Lu Baichuan to go to the military camp to train people. I didn't expect that not long after, there would be such a big mistake on his side. Lu Baichuan was really inseparable from him at all.

The prince was a little troubled. He wanted to transfer Lu Baichuan back to his side, but as a general of the auxiliary country, Lu Baichuan had a lot to do. He couldn't just do things for him like before. It seemed that he had to train talents in large quantities. .

After that, the two talked about training people again. Lu Baichuan said that he had found several good seedlings in the military camp and could focus on training them. The prince was very satisfied and completely gave up the urge to transfer him back. Lu Baichuan was more suitable in the military camp. Some.

The two of them talked for a while before they came out. Only then did they realize that He Jiuniang and Gou'er had been called away by the old emperor. Just as Lu Baichuan was about to pick up their mother and son, a eunuch came over to report that the emperor had told them that they had all gone over to have a meal.

It was very interesting that the old emperor invited guests to dinner tonight. He only invited the prince's family and Lu Baichuan's family, and did not think of the other sons and daughters at all.

Well, even if he thought about it, he didn't want to shout. His original intention was just to invite Lu Baichuan's family, and even the prince's family was included.When the prince heard this, he joked to Lu Baichuan: "Those who don't know think that my younger siblings are my father's daughters. During this time, all kinds of rumors have spread throughout the country. My father himself knows it, but he doesn't care at all. I'm even vaguely happy, I don't know what my father is thinking."

Speaking of this, the prince really felt that the old emperor seemed to have changed. When he believed in the evil way before, others would not listen to anything he said and just thought about immortality all day long. Now it is better and everyone's opinions are different. After hearing this, I became a lot more tolerant to the people below me, but my kindness to He Jiuniang was a little out of control. Those who didn't know it really thought that there was some improper relationship between the two of them.

But even with that illicit relationship, over the years, many women have been favored by the old emperor. Even the concubines in the period of great favor have never been favored with such a bottom line.

Moreover, the old emperor's attitude towards He Jiuniang was exactly like an old father's preference for his younger daughter, which was so enviable.

Not to mention those serious princesses who were unhappy, even the prince was a little annoyed. His father had never been so kind to him since he was a child!

He even deeply suspected that he could become the prince so quickly and smoothly because of He Jiuniang's blessing.

Lu Baichuan smiled understandingly and said, "Jiu'er cured the emperor's illness. The emperor was grateful, so he was more partial to Jiu'er."

He said this deliberately to dispel the prince's doubts. Although the relationship was good, some things had to be kept unclear. Once the seeds of doubt were planted, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Haha, that's right. My father has transferred his passion for monasticism to your wife."

The prince laughed out loud, and felt that this reason was very reasonable. After all, the old emperor's body was indeed cured by He Jiuniang. His body and bones were healthier than in previous years, and everyone could see it.

The most important thing is that his father really cares about the length of his life. Now that he knows that the Taoist priest has no hope, he only hopes that He Jiuniang will help him take good care of his body, so he is especially kind to He Jiuniang.

The two of them chatted and laughed and went to pick up the crown princess and the young prince, and then went to the old emperor's place for dinner together. At this time, the dog had been tested by the old emperor for a lot of knowledge. At this time, he was talking about the famous sayings of Confucius in the Analects of Confucius. : A gentleman wants to be slow in words but quick in deeds.

The explanation given by Gou'er was: "Confucius said that a gentleman should talk less and do more. If talking too much is useless, don't waste that time!"

This is not the first time that Gou'er has surprised the old emperor. The meaning of this sentence does exist, but most students will just follow the explanation in the book, but Gou'er said it all based on his own understanding.

"Hahaha, is this something you understand yourself, or was it taught to you by someone else?"

The dog straightened his chest and replied: "Mr. Kang taught us. Mr. Kang said that every inch of time is worth an inch of gold. If you can prove it with actions, there is no need to waste words and time. Time waits for no one."

"Yes, yes, who is this Mr. Kang?"

The old emperor immediately became interested in Mr. Kang, who he thought was an interesting person.
