With such a mood, Lu Zheng fled in a panic.

Changshan Changshui carried out his orders very well, and Lu Yan and Lu Zhiyuan were not injured. It was just late, and Lu Zhiyuan had fallen asleep on the nurse.

Lu Zheng cared about his nephews and nieces, and took them back absent-mindedly.

There was no conversation that night, and Lu Zheng felt a little conflicted the next day when he got up. On the one hand, he really didn't want to see Jian Yu now, but on the other hand, the other party was injured, and the house didn't look like there was any atmosphere of fireworks. How would he, a wounded person, solve the problem of eating?

But after a while, he felt that he was just bored. Jian Yu was the commander of the Red Armor Guards after all, so it was no problem for him to call on a subordinate. But he recalled the bloody wound he saw last night. He would rather go back to the house to bandage it, which showed how cautious he was about his situation. Would he really let his subordinates see him injured?

If he continued to dither like this, Lu Zheng felt that he was not himself. Since he was worried about Jian Yu, instead of thinking about it in the house, he might as well go and see him.

When Liu Zhi received Lu Zheng's order to pack the food, she was stunned for a moment, but she did it without asking any questions. In this respect, she did better than Jinlu and Jixiang in the past. It was no wonder that Lu Zheng gradually got used to her care, while Jixiang seemed to be marginalized.

Lu Zheng carried the food box and found the house based on his memory. However, when he stood in front of the house, he was a little hesitant.

He did not bring Ah Fu out, but Chang Shan and Chang Shui followed him. Without noticing that his young master was obviously hesitant, Chang Shui went up and knocked on the door without thinking.

"Hey..."

But it was useless now. Lu Zheng looked at Chang Shui's innocent look and sighed.

"You guys go somewhere else and come back to pick me up around noon."

Changshan and Changshui looked at each other and knew that he had something personal to do, so they agreed.

Lu Zheng knocked on the door again, but found that it was not locked at all. He pushed the door open and walked in directly. The yard was empty, with only a small wind chime hanging on the grape trellis, making a crisp sound.

His heart tightened, and he pushed the door open again, and found that the bedding was tidy. He breathed a sigh of relief, but soon became frustrated again.

He was relieved that Jian Yu was not caught, but frustrated that he really left.

However, Lu Zheng quickly sorted out his mood, walked out of the door and prepared to leave, but at this moment a flower lantern appeared in front of him.

"Do you like it?"

Jian Yu's voice came from the side.

Lu Zheng turned his head and found that his face was still pale, but he had a faint smile, which was really inconsistent with the little rabbit lantern next to him.

Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment: "I thought you left."

"No, I just went out to buy a lantern." Seeing that he didn't take the lantern, Jian Yu's face was gloomy for a moment, and he put down his hand, "But at this time, there are no good-looking lanterns."

Lu Zheng took the lantern from his hand, but still tried to argue: "Sending lanterns is a woman's thing, don't do it next time."

"Okay."

Jian Yu smiled again.

There was a little awkwardness between the two of them. Lu Zheng thought of what happened last night and hated himself for being so quick-witted. What if he really gave people the wrong impression?

In order to quickly dispel the weird pink atmosphere, Lu Zheng quickly asked: "So what are your plans next?" Jian Yu

thought for a while: "After a while, I may go to the border!"

"Border?"

"Well, you have to make achievements in life, build a career, defend your country, and I won't learn this martial art in vain." Jian Yu said calmly, without resentment or unwillingness, and let go of the hatred of his life experience so easily.

Lu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that Jian Yu could not let go, so he was naturally happy for him now. However, Jian Yu suddenly asked him, "What about you?"

"Me?"

"You'll be sixteen next year, right? Do you have any plans?"

Lu Zheng had really never thought about this problem. He seemed to have been busy since he traveled through time and space, and he had never considered where he would go. He looked at Jian Yu and hesitated for a moment: "I don't know."

He looked at the sky, which was much clearer and cleaner than before he traveled through time and space. There was a hint of uneasiness in his voice that he himself was not sure of: "Maybe I wanted to just eat and wait for death in the past. Anyway, I have a family business to support me. Even if I do nothing, I can live a good life." Jian Yu

looked at him seriously.

"But now, I think I can live a different life." Lu Zheng also looked at Jian Yu, "Like you said, one must make achievements in life. I don't have much ability, but I have some talent in solving cases. I hope I don't waste it. I think my life is good now, but like my elder brother said, if I have the opportunity to govern in the future, I think it will be very challenging."

"Then I wish we can all realize our wishes." Jian Yu said softly.

"Yes, in the new year, I wish we can all realize our wishes!"

Lu Zheng and Jian Yu smiled at each other, and the gap between them was completely eliminated in this smile.

Lu Zheng returned home happily with the lantern in his hand, but he had a bad feeling as soon as he entered the gate of the Duke of Yingguo Mansion. Before he could figure it out, he saw the Prince of Chu Rong Zhen sitting in the hall, accompanied by the Lu family father and son.

Lu Zheng's eyes widened, and he was shocked in an instant.

Rong Zhen saw Lu Zheng before they did, and waved to him: "What are you doing standing there?"

Lu Zheng walked in blankly, and found that his father and eldest brother had a complicated expression. Then he looked at Rong Zhen's relaxed expression and blurted out: "Why is His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu here?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lu Qing glared at him, but immediately defended him in front of Rong Zhen, "This child has been spoiled, and he always speaks without restraint. Please forgive me,

Your Highness." Rong Zhen shook his hands, "Why would I bother with a child?" He then said to Lu Zheng, "Of course I'm here to pay New Year's greetings, what else?"

Lu Zheng didn't believe that he was here to pay New Year's greetings. As the dignified Prince of Chu, he was probably the only one who could pay New Year's greetings to him. It was heard that at the palace banquet this year, Emperor Yongning rewarded him highly, and his treatment even surpassed that of other princes, making him the talk of the town.

Rong Zhen found Lu Zheng's expression interesting and immediately said to Lu Qing and the others, "I have been sitting for too long. It's time for me to go back."

Lu Qing and Lu Che seemed to be relieved and they quickly stood up to see him off. However, Rong Zhen waved his hand and pointed at Lu Zheng, "Just let him see me off."

Lu Zheng could only bite the bullet and follow Rong Zhen outside.

Rong Zhen looked at Lu Zheng who was silent beside him and asked: "I have been here for the whole morning, but I haven't seen you. Where have you been?"

"Well, I went to see a friend." Lu Zheng said vaguely.

"The friend who gave you the lantern?" Rong Zhen chuckled.

Lu Zheng then realized that he was still holding the lantern that Jian Yu gave him. He hid it behind his back reflexively, but soon realized what he was doing? !

Rong Zhen stopped and asked: "Whose girl is it?"

Lu Zheng was stunned and shook his head quickly: "No, no..." But he didn't know what to explain, and what was the point of explaining this to the King of Chu.

While Lu Zheng was stunned, Rong Zhen had already walked forward again, and he hurriedly followed him.

Rong Zhen casually said, "Where is the jade pendant that the king gave you? Why aren't you wearing it?"

Speaking of the jade pendant, Lu Zheng felt guilty. Although he quickly used the banknote to redeem the jade pendant, he was always unconsciously flustered and short of breath when facing this question from the King of Chu. He could only stammer, "Put it...put it in the room."

Rong Zhen looked at him meaningfully and said, "Wear it all the time in the future."

"Oh...oh." Lu Zheng agreed and then realized what this meant. He always felt that the King of Chu

's words were not right, but he didn't dare to think about it any more. After sending Rong Zhen to the door, Lu Zheng felt that this journey was extremely long. In fact, Rong Zhen didn't talk much and was very gentle to him, but Lu Zheng just had an indescribable feeling of awkwardness.

Seeing that the person was about to be sent away, Lu Zheng was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when Rong Zhen said, "Since you like lanterns, you must be interested in the Lantern King Selection tonight?"

"Huh?"

Seeing his confused look, Rong Zhen smiled even more: "I'll save a seat for you. If you come with the jade pendant, someone will naturally lead you there."

The seat reserved by His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu must be the best seat, but Lu Zheng didn't think he was the kind of person who would have fun together with the people. Just when he was about to refuse, Rong Zhen reached out and patted his head: "This lantern is too crude. With your conditions, you deserve better."

Lu Zheng was stunned. This tone didn't sound like he was talking about lanterns. He said vaguely, "Well..."

Rong Zhen didn't say any more. He always knew the principle of knowing when to stop. Being interested was one thing, but scaring people was not so good.

Lu Zheng looked at Rong Zhen's back as he left, still not understanding what on earth this prince was here for, and what did he just say, the Lantern King Selection? !

Lu Zheng suddenly realized that Jian Yu had also asked him to watch the Lantern King Selection, and although he didn't agree, what if Jian Yu took it as his tacit consent?

Lu Zheng suddenly felt that the bunny lantern in his hand was a little hot, and suddenly he didn't want to go, but the King of Chu invited him, and not going would be like a slap in the face no matter how you look at it! But if he went... it would be like Shura Field no matter how you look at it!

Lu Zheng wanted to cry but had no tears, how could he feel so inexplicably like a scumbag! !
