In the backyard.
Lu Anan was talking to Chu Jinshen.
In the crystal ball on the table.
It was Xuan Ting and his little boy Aji.
The two people finally came out of the deep mountains and forests.
Aji was covered in dust, but his face was relatively clean.
Xuan Ting was still dressed in black, his whole body buried in his cloak.
"A Shen, what is he doing wandering around?"
Logically speaking, the news of Lu Heyi's death at their hands.
At least that person knew.
Now that Xuan Ting is not going back, it might attract attention.
"What is he waiting for?"
Besides, this walking direction...
A bit strange.
"This goes against the direction of returning to Beijing, doesn't it?"
Chu Jinshen nodded: "If we continue in this direction, Yuezhou is ahead."
"Yuezhou?!"
Lu Anan turned around and asked: "What is he doing in Yuezhou?!"
The Anluo Kingdom had long been destroyed.
I'm afraid I'm returning to the old place for other reasons.
"If he doesn't go back to the capital, won't that person be suspicious?"
Chu Jinshen shook his head instead: "Probably not. Xuan Ting mentioned before that he needs to travel around."
Lu Anan frowned.
No matter what, they are now under the eyes of her and Chu Jinshen.
There's no way to escape.
The only thing Lu Anan was worried about was how long this ability would last.
But Xiwen relieved their worries.
[Magician Xiwen: Don't worry, this little guy can last at least ten years.]
As the two were talking, there was a noise outside the house.
Lu Anan put the crystal ball into the space and stood up.
The visitors were none other than Lord Lanzhou and Steward Zhou.
"Your Highness."
"General Weiyuan and Lord Zhu have already gone to Hongcheng."
The Lord of Lanzhou had a bitter look on his face.
He knew that in the end, he would have to bear the responsibility alone.
"Did Xu Hesheng bring it back?"
Steward Zhou looked outside the courtyard and said, "When those two gentlemen arrived just now, I sent the other city guards away."
"He should have returned by now."
Butler Zhou was also a little confused. Logically, the person should have been brought back by now.
Why is there no movement yet?
Before he could figure it out.
A servant stumbled in.
"My lord! My lord!"
Butler Zhou frowned: "Shouting and yelling, how disgraceful!"
The servant suddenly knelt in front of Butler Zhou.
"Master Zhu is here!"
The Lord of Lanzhou was stunned: "Why is he here?"
Didn’t Lord Zhu leave with General Weiyuan?
This boy came here secretly.
He was so flustered that his words were incoherent.
The Lord of Lanzhou was helpless and scolded: "Speak properly!"
"I heard the news at the door. Master Zhu was stopped by the eldest son of the Xu family."
The Lord of Lanzhou frowned, "Stopped by Xu Hesheng?!"
This Lord Zhu had never been very prominent before.
Lanzhou is far away from the capital, although it is known that the previous prime minister had committed a crime.
But he was not familiar with the later Prime Minister Li at all.
Not to mention that this Lord Zhu is his man.
"Yes, I heard from them that I am going to come and ask the adults for punishment!"
The Lord of Lanzhou's face suddenly turned ugly.
If it was because of Hongcheng's matter, he had no fault to blame.
Now this Lord Zhu is looking for trouble with him because of the Xu family.
Then don't blame him for speaking harshly.
Although the position of Lord of Lanzhou may be gone by then.
But at least the family has the support of the Empress Dowager.
At least your life can be saved.
"They are almost at the house, my lord."
This servant ran fast and came to inform the Lord of Lanzhou.
Butler Zhou looked at the Lord of Lanzhou.
"Sir, now..."
"I want to see what the Xu family is planning to do!"
The Lord of Lanzhou, who was relatively good-tempered, was so angry that he almost laughed.
Xu Hesheng couldn't even clean himself up, yet he still wanted to take advantage of Lord Zhu's help.
I'm probably used to having sweet dreams.
As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.
He has been in Lanzhou for so many years and he must have some skills.
"Your Highness, I will go and take care of it first."
Chu Jinshen nodded. "Grandmother will not sit idly by. This incident is unprovoked for you. There is no need to worry."
This sentence was a reassurance to the Lord of Lanzhou.
Even his walking caused the wind to blow.
"You said that Lord Zhu wanted to do something."
Chu Jinshen lowered his eyes and said, "The situation in the court has changed. This Lord Zhu is Chu Shengan's man."
"But does he know what happened in Hongcheng?"
Chu Jinshen frowned and shook his head slightly.
"The person behind this can't be Chu Shengan."
"I'm afraid he doesn't know about this."
Lu Anan seemed to be thinking: "A Shen means that this Mr. Zhu is openly from Chu Shengan's faction."
"Actually... the master is someone else?"
"An An is smart."
In this case, Lu Anan was even more certain that the person must be next to Chu Shengan.
"I still don't know what was written in the letter from the Imperial Grandmother."
Chu Jinshen found some time and wrote another letter to the Empress Dowager.
There is no response yet.
He was slightly worried.
"The Empress Dowager is in the palace, so that person won't act so brazenly."
Lu Anan comforted her.
"I asked Li Si to arrange people to protect the Empress Dowager."
Lu Anan noticed something was wrong before the letter arrived.
Chu Jinshen knew Lu Anan’s arrangement and nodded.
At this point, they cannot return to the capital for the time being.
We can only be more protective.
"That person's methods are extremely strange, so let Li Si pass a message through."
"If that doesn't work, let the Empress Dowager go outside the palace under the pretext of praying for blessings."
The Empress Dowager devoted herself to Buddhism.
Even a small special Buddhist temple was built in the palace.
I often go to the temple to pray every year.
So even if she left at this time, no one would suspect anything.
"What An An said makes sense."
Rather than staying in the palace, it is better to stay away and be safer.
"Let's go and see what's going on."
Although it cannot appear, it is always worth a look.
What exactly does Xu Hesheng want to do?
On the other side, Lord Zhu and Xu Hesheng sat in the flower hall.
He raised his eyes and looked at Xu Hesheng in front of him.
"What do you want to say?"
Xu Hesheng was very respectful at this time.
"I know what Your Majesty means, but that useless cousin has offended the Lord of Lanzhou."
"I'm afraid I need Lord Zhu's help."
Lord Zhu frowned: "What do you mean?"
"There's some rift between my cousin and I, so he's definitely going to put all the blame on me."
"However, considering our relationship, I still want to ask you to save him."
Lord Zhu was about to speak.
The Lord of Lanzhou came over.
"I greet the Lord."
The Lord of Lanzhou said with a forced smile: "It seems that inviting Master Xu to come here is not easy."
Lord Zhu heard the hidden meaning in his words and coughed lightly.
"Since there's nothing wrong, just let it go."
