"Haixin."
"Your Highness."
The two stood there for a long time, and finally broke the silence in unison.
The two were stunned at first, and then smiled at each other.
They all saw nostalgia, disbelief and shock in each other's eyes.
The "His Highness" that Lu Changgong mentioned is the Third Prince, Sima Chengqi, whose courtesy name is Zichu.
The third prince's mother's family was not prominent. When he was young, his mother was a concubine who lived in the cold palace for a long time. Later, she could not bear the torture and committed suicide.
At that time, His Royal Highness the Third Prince was only a six-year-old child. Ever since his mother passed away, he often went hungry and was often bullied by eunuchs and palace maids.
One day, Lu Zhan was off duty and took Lu Changgong with him. On the way back from the palace, Lu Changgong was only four years old at that time.
The four-year-old child was full of curiosity about things and happened to be attracted by a snow-white fox. He followed the white fox all the way to the cold palace.
He happened to see the eunuch insulting the third prince and asking him to crawl under the eunuch's crotch.
The third prince gritted his teeth, shed tears, stood straight, and stubbornly refused to surrender.
Seeing this, several eunuchs became furious and pushed the Third Emperor to the ground, punching and kicking the young Third Emperor.
Lu Changgong has always been fond of fighting for justice since he was a child. Lu Zhan taught him martial arts when he was two years old.
Therefore, although he was only four years old at the time, it was no problem for him to deal with a few eunuchs.
Several eunuchs were beaten by Lu Changgong and begged for mercy. Lu Changgong warned them in a domineering manner not to bully the third prince again.
If he finds them bullying the third prince again, he will report it to the emperor. You must know that bullying the royal family will result in the punishment of all nine generations of the family.
The eunuchs were not afraid of the third prince who had no protection from his maternal family, but they were afraid of the newly promoted General Changsheng, and this four-year-old little boy was General Changsheng's legitimate son Lu Changgong.
Lu Changgong became famous in the palace at a young age and became the topic of conversation among everyone in Beijing after dinner.
Who would have thought that a four-year-old little dumpling would actually beat up the twelve-year-old Crown Prince.
I still remember that when Lu Changgong first entered the palace, he beat the prince so badly that his face was bruised and swollen.
Not only was Lu Changgong not punished by the emperor for beating the crown prince, but the crown prince was punished instead.
Therefore, the eunuchs had to listen to the warning of the Little Overlord Lu Changgong.
If someone dares to hit the crown prince, it would be difficult for him to deal with this group of eunuchs, not to mention finding a reason. Even if he were to beat them to death with sticks, there wouldn't be any damage.
When they met for the first time, Lu Changgong patted his chest and comforted Sima Chengqi, who was crying, like a little adult. He told the third prince not to be afraid of anything and to come to him if he had any problems, and he would stand up for him.
Since then, the two have formed a deep friendship. They are both king and subject, friends, brothers and family.
Whenever Lu Changgong entered the palace, he would avoid being seen and go to the cold palace to play with the third prince.
During this period, Lu Changgong taught him martial arts, how to read and write, how to lie dormant, how to hide, and how to protect himself.
The third prince was also an excellent student. He could grasp everything Lu Changgong taught him after just one listen and apply it to other situations.
Since meeting Lu Changgong, the third prince has no longer been bullied.
Even if someone bullies him, humiliates him, or insults him, he has learned to hide his emotions and divert conflicts to protect himself.
And won't let others suspect him.
Because outside, he is the third prince who is stupid, dull, stupid, has no maternal family, and no one to rely on.
No one could see the end at a glance, and no one believed that the six-year-old Third Prince had passed the crisis on.
But afterwards, the consequences for the eunuchs and palace maids who had bullied him were not very good.
Either they committed a crime and were beaten to death by a noble person, or they were retaliated against because of their overly arrogant and domineering nature.
From then on, the eunuchs and maids in the palace no longer dared to bully him.
Even in the eyes of outsiders, his impression is that of being dull, wooden, and stupid.
At the same time, there were rumors among the eunuchs and palace maids that anyone who provoked him would be in trouble.
Therefore, the eunuchs and palace maids did not dare to do anything rash again. They would take a detour when they saw him, and they did not dare to slander or make up stories about him behind his back.
No one in the palace bullied him anymore, so he became invisible for a long time.
Even if he appeared in front of everyone, the emperor, empress, other princes, and concubines would not remember that there was such a person in the palace!
If Lu Changgong had not been in trouble two years ago, the dormant Third Prince would have rushed to the emperor regardless of everything and pleaded for Lu Changgong.
The Emperor of Dai Viet then remembered that there was a concubine and the third prince living in the cold palace.
But seeing that he was so stupid that he couldn't even speak a complete sentence, he dismissed him with disgust and didn't listen to him.
Just when he was desperate to throw away his disguise, Lu Changgong stopped him before he fell into a coma.
Lu Changgong was trapped in the Changsha Palace for two years, and they still kept in touch privately.
Not long ago, Lu Changgong secretly contacted the third prince, and with the help of internal and external forces, he overthrew the Minister of the Dali Temple, and only then was Lu Changgong's people replaced.
Zichu was the courtesy name given to him by Lu Changgong.
A courtesy name that is not known to outsiders.
Similarly, outsiders did not know Lu Changgong's courtesy name.
In theory, courtesy names are used to address outsiders, while given names are used to address family members.
For some unknown reason, Lu Zhan did not agree with them using their courtesy names in public.
"Huai Xin, is your leg healed? Is the poison also removed?"
Even though he saw it with his own eyes, he still found it incredible.
Because they consulted so many famous doctors, but the answers they got were all shakes of head and regret.
They all said that it would be impossible for Lu Changgong to stand up in his lifetime, and that the unknown poison in his body would cause him to die of heart failure.
They all asserted that Lu Changgong would not live past the age of twenty-five.
The third prince pressed his legs uncertainly, and as he touched them, he felt the muscles throbbing in his hands, and his eyes couldn't help but get hot.
