Upon hearing Chen He's question, Prince Lu glanced at him and said unhappily, "What's the point of asking about this? Your Majesty hasn't told me about it, so I won't pry. What should I do if Your Majesty becomes suspicious of me?"

After hearing what Prince Lu said, Chen He felt helpless. After all, he couldn't count on this prince.

After thinking for a moment, Chen He calmly asked, "Then, apart from the rebellion, Your Majesty didn't mention anything else?"

"Isn't the idea of ​​rebellion scary?" King Lu said with his eyes wide open. "Anyway, stop talking nonsense. I'm not leaving here. I'm staying here. It seems this is the safest place. Even if someone rebels, I'll be fine."

"Hey, can I talk to His Majesty about bringing my forty-eight wives and concubines here? If someone really rebels, this place will be safer after all."

Prince Lu smacked his lips and said, "Who knows if those rebels will target my home? If they break into my home, I'll suffer a great loss. Losing some property is not a big deal, but if they hurt my forty-eight wives and concubines, that would be a huge loss."

Chen He felt helpless as he watched Prince Lu talking to himself.

Is this His Majesty protecting you?

This is His Majesty putting you under house arrest. You simply don't understand anything!

But that's just the way it is with this prince, he has been a waste since he was young.

This was not what Chen He wanted to hear. He patiently continued to ask, "Your Majesty, is there no other explanation?"

"Oh, yes, there is a reason." Prince Lu seemed to have just remembered it at this time. He turned to look at Chen He and said, "Your Majesty did tell me something else. He asked me to donate some money and food. First, to help the people, and second, to support the army to suppress the rebellion."

"Look at how much food and money we have left. Give us half." After thinking for a moment, Prince Lu gritted his teeth, made a firm decision, and said directly, "Write a petition and submit it to His Majesty tomorrow."

Hearing what King Lu said, Chen He's heart skipped a beat. He stared and said, "Give away half?"

"What's wrong with half?" Prince Lu looked at Chen He's miserly appearance and said unhappily, "Saving your life is the most important thing. Money is just a thing outside of your body. What's wrong with spending some money on His Majesty? Didn't you see what His Majesty ate today? It made me feel heartbroken."

"Speaking of which, have someone prepare some goodies and send them to His Majesty tomorrow. Prepare some delicacies from the mountains and sea, some old mountain ginseng. Prepare plenty. He's the Emperor of our Ming Dynasty, how could he eat those things? Those people under him can't do their job, they're all idiots!"

"By the way, His Majesty also rewarded me with a piece of calligraphy. Please take it out and hang it up."

Chen He was helpless. It was obvious that His Majesty had talked to Prince Lu about a lot of things, but Prince Lu didn't understand at all. He didn't care about many things. He only remembered two things.

One is that someone in Shandong is planning a rebellion, and he is very scared. It is safe to hide here, and Your Majesty will protect him.

The other thing is that His Majesty asked him to provide money and food, and he was ready to give half of it to His Majesty.

These two things are very critical, but they are not the most critical points.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will arrange it right away." Chen He said hurriedly.

After hearing Chen He's words, King Lu nodded with satisfaction.

Then, as if remembering something else, Prince Lu asked, "Why is our palace doing business with the government? Today, Your Majesty asked me about disaster relief food and money, and I was completely confused."

"Haven't you always been in charge of the palace's business? How did such a huge mistake happen? Today, I've covered it up for you. When you return, cut off all these things. If His Majesty pursues you, what good will it be?"

Prince Lu's tone was very serious; he was really scared.

For King Lu, the best thing is to live a peaceful life without causing any trouble. It would be best if he and his forty-eight wives and concubines could live a stable life.

After hearing what King Lu said, Chen He's body trembled violently. He finally heard what he wanted to hear.

His Majesty has indeed paid attention to this matter. As for the King of Lu's claim of covering up for him, Chen He did not believe it at all.

Chen He knew exactly what kind of person the Prince of Lu was. If he hadn't tried to cover up for himself, things might have been better. But now that he was covering up for himself, things got worse.

Thinking of this, Chen He couldn't help but get nervous. Who knew that things would turn out like this this time?

After thinking for a moment, Chen He said, "Your Highness, we have a lot of grain and farmland. I don't know how to manage it right now. Why don't we call the Chief Secretary to ask him?"

After hearing what Chen He said, King Lu said unhappily, "You two should discuss this matter among yourselves."

After standing up and stretching his muscles, Prince Lu said impatiently, "I'm a little tired. I'm exhausted from the long journey, and Your Majesty scared me enough. Now I want to go to sleep."

"By the way, ask one of the maids you brought to come in and sleep with me tonight."

Chen He felt somewhat relieved upon hearing Prince Lu's words. With this, the matter was finally over. As long as Prince Lu handed the matter over to him, the rest would be easy.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. We will send the person over right away." Chen He said hurriedly.

After King Lu left, Chen He did not dare to delay at all. He turned around and walked to the other side.

On this side, there was a relatively secluded room where someone was already waiting for him.
