Lu Xian was still feeling uneasy.

He was deeply impressed by the dream in which Lu Saburo was so angry that he fled to the border.

He could vaguely see that his third brother was a jealous person. Cousin Luo and his third brother always quarreled, like a pair of bickering lovers, sometimes they were at loggerheads, and sometimes they were as close as glue. If his third brother took the dream seriously, wouldn't he be so angry that he would die?

However, if he didn't mention the King of Hengyang, Lu Erlang couldn't come up with a more appropriate lie. He blamed his third brother for always looking at things differently from him. Lu Xian was afraid that his lie would be seen through by his third brother, who began to doubt whether his dreams could be compared with reality.

It was too difficult to choose the right or the left one. Lu Erlang was so worried that he tossed and turned in bed at night and couldn't sleep. He woke up the next day with a splitting headache and was in a daze until he went to court. In the morning, when he heard that the princess of the Northern Kingdom was about to marry into Jianye and the Northern Kingdom's envoys were about to marry, Lu Erlang's eyelids twitched. He was in a daze all the way back. When he was reading in the study, his eyes were looking at the lush green outside the window. Lu Erlang was suddenly stunned and remembered -

The date of the first Battle of Nanyang that I dreamed of seemed to be around this time?

The green of the south has not yet faded, while the maple leaves of the north are already red.

At this point, Lu Erlang broke out in a cold sweat and no longer cared about whether he was lying or not. He immediately found the half-written letter and quickly finished the rest. Then Lu Erlang hurried out and called the servant to come over, and rode as fast as he could to deliver the letter. Lu Erlang prayed in his heart: I must be in time!

Although the war in the second dream did not seem to cause any accidents to Lu Yun, since Lu Erlang had never dreamed of it, he did not know the specific circumstances of the war... He could only pray that the letter would be delivered in time so that his third brother could be prepared for accidents in advance!

Lu Erlang called out for help, and the servant in the yard ran over quickly. Unexpectedly, when Lu Erlang was walking out with the letter, he bumped into someone because he was walking too fast. The person fell backwards after being knocked down by him. Hearing the girl's cry of pain, Lu Xian quickly reached out to help her. The girl was not strong enough to fall down, and he held the unsteady girl in his arms with his hand.

Lu Jilang asked concernedly: "Your Highness? Why are you here..."

The little princess in Liu Tang's arms immediately blushed and stammered, "Yes, yes, Madam, let me bring some wontons to Erlang..."

Liu Tang was held for a long time, and only remembered after she finished talking, she cried out "Ah", and pushed Lu Erlang away. Liu Tang blushed, and before Lu Xian could react, the princess who said she would bring him wontons turned around and ran out of the yard. The princess's maid who was holding the food box at the door had a blank expression on her face, and she and Lu Erlang looked at each other in bewilderment.

Lu Xian was stunned for a long time before a smile appeared in his eyes: This princess is too timid, isn't she?

He stood at the door and handed the letter to the servant again. Just when he was about to explain, he saw the princess who had run away come back. Liu Tang stood at the door and hesitated for a while before he mustered up the courage to lean forward: "Lu Erlang, are you delivering a letter to Sister Luo? I miss Sister Luo too. Can you wait for me for a while so that I can bring a letter to Sister Luo?"

Lu Erlang was in a hurry to deliver the letter to his brother, and was afraid of delaying the delivery. He looked at the princess's expectant eyes hesitantly, and after a while, he nodded: "I'll only give you one hour."

Liu Tang laughed: "That's enough!"

She was invited into Lu Erlang's study, where Lu Erlang personally ground the paper and helped Princess Ningping write letters.

Mrs. Lu, who had been waiting for the princess to come back, could not sit still. She was afraid that her son would bully the daughter-in-law she had chosen, so she went to Lu Erlang's yard to see him. She was led by a servant to the window of the study. Through the window, she saw the man leaning over and the girl writing, with a few leaves floating on the window. The scene was like a painting. Such a "red sleeves adding fragrance" scene made Mrs. Lu happy and satisfied.

Without disturbing the two, Madam Lu left quietly and went directly to Old Madam Lu, impatiently saying, "Mother, discuss with your husband tonight and then go and ask for Princess Ningping's hand in marriage. The Lu family and the royal family are getting married, a century-old friendship, and the good relationship between the two families. The royal family is also looking forward to it. After all, Erlang must get married first, then Sanlang will be more legitimate, right?"

There was an obvious problem in discussing marriage with Princess Ningping: Princess Ningping was Prince Chen's biological sister, and the Lu family had not taken sides in the dispute over the crown prince.

Old Madam Lu excused herself by saying that she was troubled by the marriages of her grandsons: "Sanlang is in Nanyang, and Madam Luo has also gone to Nanyang. I don't know how to arrange a marriage for them... I haven't received Madam Luo's letter of withdrawal of engagement, either? Should I prepare it?"

Mrs. Lu: "Then let's marry Erlang first! Erlang will definitely be fine... At this time, the elder brother should marry first and the younger brother later. But if there is no time, it would be a good idea for the two brothers to marry at the same time, right?"

Old Lady Lu looked at Mrs. Lu in surprise: the daughter-in-law, who had always been old-fashioned and dignified, only showed such a lively side when she mentioned her son's marriage. It seemed that the daughter-in-law was indeed very satisfied with her grandson's daughter-in-law.

In fact, Mrs. Lu was still afraid of the long night and the many troubles... No matter what, she would give her wife to Erlang first.

Before Lu Jilang realized it, his family elders began to study his marriage as a political event.

At the same time, Prince Chen was sorting out the army and the amount of food. Lu Sanlang's letter made him suspicious, and Liu Chu began to consciously store food for emergency use. Liu Chu hesitated for a while, but he was more careful and separated the state treasury and private funds.

Then, a beautiful lady was sent into the palace, who made His Majesty dizzy and disoriented.

His Majesty the Emperor would only think of Liu Chu when he needed someone to do something. On other days, he would treat this son as an invisible man. This time, because Prince Chen had done a great job in sending the beauty, His Majesty the Emperor praised Prince Chen several times during the court session. It was this move that made the other princes not suspicious, and they stared at Liu Chu with extreme vigilance.

What does King Chen mean by this? Do you want to join them in seizing the throne?

Previously, because Liu Chu was too silent and invisible, and never intended to seize the throne, the princes treated him well. When the Prince of Hengyang bullied the Prince of Chen, the princes would join forces to help. But if the Prince of Chen wanted to compete for the throne, the princes would realize the crisis based on Liu Chu's usual ability to handle affairs.
