Hearing this, the little boy burst into tears and said, "Is it because the little prince has always been in bad condition, and the elder brother has never been able to get out?"

"..." Although Lu Zhaozhao felt that he was crying pitifully, he didn't want to lie to him: "...Yes!"

The little boy said 'Wow' and cried even louder.

Lu Zhaozhao hurriedly covered his mouth: "Do you also want to go in to accompany your brother? How dare you cry so loudly outside the eldest princess's house!"

"Well! I want to go in and accompany my brother! My brother must be very scared now!" the little boy said vaguely.

Lu Zhaozhao almost laughed angrily: "I had to talk hard, so the eldest princess agreed to spare your brother's life. Now you are crying and making a fuss in front of the eldest princess's house. If you offend the eldest princess, let alone your brother's life, even yours." I’m afraid I can’t even save my life!”

When the little boy heard the warning in her words, he immediately fell silent.

Her big eyes were filled with tears, but she didn't dare to make any sound.

She was afraid that if she offended the eldest princess, she would kill her brother in anger!
Lu Zhaozhao looked at his pitiful appearance and let go of his mouth: "Do you want to come with me?"

The little boy shook his head subconsciously: "I want to be here, waiting for my brother to come out!"

"It's no use waiting here. Why don't you go back with me and know the news about your brother as soon as possible!" Lu Zhaozhao said.

Hearing this, the little boy raised his little face and looked at her: "If I follow you, can I really know the news about my brother as soon as possible?"

"Of course!" Lu Zhaozhao touched his little head again: "So, do you want to follow me?"

"Yes!" The little boy didn't hesitate at this moment.

Because he knew that instead of waiting outside the eldest princess's house and knowing nothing, it would be better to follow her and learn the news about his brother as soon as possible!
Lu Zhaozhao gave him one on the spot. You have a discerning look, kid!
"Shut up!"

While they were talking, Chang Ze had stopped the carriage in front of the eldest princess's mansion.

Lu Zhaozhao suddenly, as if he suddenly remembered something, his eyes fell on Dugu Fan.

How could she forget that she was still dependent on someone else?

"Your Majesty! You don't mind if your family temporarily takes in a child, right?" Lu Zhaozhao smiled and leaned towards him.

Dugu Fan said coolly: "Now that I think about it, have you asked me for my opinion?"

Lu Zhaozhao chuckled and said in a flattering manner: "I know, my lord, you are the most broad-minded!"

Dugufan glanced at her noncommittally, and went straight onto the carriage without saying anything.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent!" Lu Zhaozhao said towards his back.

Immediately, he grabbed the little boy's hand and followed him into the carriage.

The carriage was covered with pure white fur mats, making the little boy stand with a reserved expression, not daring to move.

Lu Zhaozhao pulled him to sit next to him: "We have known each other for a while, but I still don't know your name?"

"My, my name is Zhu Zifan!" the little boy whispered back.

"Then what's your brother's name?" Lu Zhaozhao asked again.

"My brother's name is Zhu Ziteng!" Zhu Zifan said.

Lu Zhaozhao was a little surprised.

Many of the poor people here think that nicknames make a living, so many children are called Goudan, Zhuzhu, Tiedan, etc. Unexpectedly, the names of these two brothers are quite good!
"Who gave you your name? It sounds so nice!" Lu Zhaozhao asked with a smile. "Mother!" When Zhu Zifan mentioned his mother, his little face was filled with pride, but mixed with a bit of longing: "My grandparents told us that our names were given by our mother, because when she gave birth to us, she happened to be When the wisteria blooms profusely, my mother named my brother Zhu Ziteng, and my name is Zhu Zifan!"

"Your mother is so amazing, and her names are so nice!" Lu Zhaozhao praised.

When Zhu Zifan heard this, his first smile of the day appeared on his little face: "I also think the name my mother chose is very nice!"

Seeing the restraint on his face slowly fade away, Lu Zhaozhao reached out and touched his little brain again.

child!

You should be happy!

The next day.

Just after dawn, there was a knock on the door from outside.

Lu Zhaozhao opened his sleepy eyes and looked towards the door: "What's the matter?"

"Aunt Lu...Mr. Zhao! Prince Wei is here! The prince asked his servant to call you to the front hall!" Qing Ju's voice came from outside the door.

"Okay! I know!" Lu Zhaozhao shook his head, obviously not awake yet, propped himself up, and slowly got out of bed.

It was clear that when Dugu Wei arrived at this time, he must have found some clues.

In a quarter of an hour...

Lu Zhaozhao walked into the main hall after briefly freshening up.

I saw Dugu Fan and Dugu Wei sitting side by side, talking to each other.

"Have you found it?" Lu Zhaozhao asked.

"Found it!" Duguwei handed two pieces of rice paper to her.

Lu Zhaozhao took it and glanced at it roughly: "Are we going to the eldest princess's mansion now?"

"There are still a lot of people on the rice paper, let's screen it again!" Duguwei said: "Sister Huang has to take care of Heng'er at night. I'm afraid she just fell asleep right now, so we should wait until we select the candidates. Present it to Sister Huang!"

"..." Lu Zhaozhao.

Got it!
Just say it directly, you feel sorry for your eldest sister, and you don't hesitate to drag her and the prince to work as coolies!

"The rice paper below is a list of all the noble houses in the capital that have osmanthus trees, and the rice paper above is a list of the houses with the same age as the woman. As for the check mark at the back , is a mansion with both sweet-scented osmanthus trees and bamboo forests!" Dugu Wei spoke concisely and explained the contents of the two pieces of rice paper.

When Lu Zhaozhao heard this, his eyes fell on the rice paper above.

After careful counting, there were three mansions with both sweet-scented osmanthus trees and bamboo forests.

"Who lives in these three mansions?" Lu Zhaozhao asked.

"The mansion at the top is lived by a merchant who has some money at home. His youngest daughter is similar in age to that woman, but due to her status, she has no access to the eldest sister, so I feel that her The degree of suspicion is very low. The mansion in the middle is the mansion of a fourth-grade master. There are several concubines in his house who are similar in age to that woman. Although there are not many opportunities to contact the eldest sister of the emperor on weekdays, no one knows , did you have any quarrel with the eldest sister Huang? As for the last residence, it is the residence of the brother-in-law!" Dugu Wei said truthfully.

When Lu Zhaozhao heard this, he was obviously stunned: "What did you say? The last mansion is the prince-consort's mansion?"

Dugu Wei nodded: "Brother-in-law usually lives in the eldest princess's mansion, but his own family is very good. That was the mansion he lived in before!"

Lu Zhaozhao looked at him thoughtfully: "Is there a woman of that woman's age living in your brother-in-law's mansion?"
