Where Zhu Yunwen didn't notice, a fierce look flashed across Lu's eyes.
Then he stepped forward with a gentle smile, opened his arms to hold Zhu Yunwen in his arms, and gently stroked Zhu Yunwen's head with his palms.
"Yunwen, even if something big happens, my mother-in-law will never let anything happen to you!"
Because the prince was ill and in a coma, Zhu Yunwen had been worried and anxious after receiving the news today.
Being held in the arms of the mother and concubine at this time is like being held in the arms of the mother and concubine when I was a child, when I fell and was injured and cried non-stop.
Feeling the familiar smell of his mother and concubine, Zhu Yunwen finally felt at ease.
Mrs. Lu took the opportunity to let go of Zhu Yunwen, patted his head, then turned and left with the old nanny.
Mrs. Lu only took the old man who had been married into the palace with her, avoiding the attention of most people in the palace, and quietly left the East Palace.
The two of them walked all the way to the back of the East Palace.
When they reached a deserted place, Ms. Lu whispered, "Has the news been passed on?"
The old woman whispered: "If you go back to your Majesty, Zhou Huwei is already waiting for you in front."
Lu nodded, but suddenly stopped.
She bit her cherry lips lightly, but hesitated to speak, and her face was quite tangled.
The old woman looked at Lu's expression and said, "Is the queen hesitant?"
Lu said: "I know that if I don't do anything, Yunwen will always live in the shadow of that person in his life. But...but if I take this step, there will be no way back for me. That is Yunwen."
Maybe..."
The old woman's face darkened, and she added: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to an end, even if I don't take this step today. But the paper can't cover the fire after all. If what the Madam did before is discovered, the Madam and the Second Master will...
Can it be settled?"
There was still some hesitation on Lu's face.
The old woman continued: "Have you forgotten what you have always dreamed of?"
"I haven't forgotten!"
Lu turned around, glared at the old woman, and then sighed: "Yunwen must sit in that seat! The only one who can be the empress, empress dowager, and empress dowager of the Ming Dynasty is me! Yunwen will also become the Ming Dynasty's queen."
The prosperous lord of the dynasty!"
At this moment, Lu's ambition was fully exposed.
The old woman smiled silently and stepped forward to push Mrs. Lu: "Madam, the condition of the Crown Prince is unknown now, His Majesty's body is ill, and the third son is far away in Zhongdu. This is your last chance!"
As she spoke, the old woman pushed Ms. Lu to turn forward.
Behind the heavy green shade, there was a faint general wearing the uniform of the Imperial Guard, hiding anxiously behind.
Lu looked over with twinkling eyes, a little panicked in her heart. With the old woman's constant comfort, she took a deep breath and took steps.
"The general will finally meet the Crown Princess!"
"Crown Princess, may you be blessed!"
Zhou Ji, the son of the Marquis of Jiang Xia and a personal guard of the Forbidden Army, was on one knee on the ground, with his hands clasped in his fists, his head held high, and his eyes swept over Lu's body infatuatedly.
Finally, it stopped at Lu's full eyes, which were as fiery and eager as to be almost burning. Lu subconsciously moved to look at them.
"Get up now."
Zhou Ji suppressed the desire in his heart, and taking the opportunity to stand up, he couldn't help but step forward and close the distance between him and the Crown Princess.
Lu's heart tightened almost subconsciously, and she was about to step back, but she saw the old nanny hiding in the dark, watching and vigilant for her, looking at her.
Only then did Lu stop retreating, suppress her feelings for the prince, and raised her head to meet Zhou Ji's increasingly hot gaze.
She took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty is now very old. The prince is unexpectedly seriously ill and unconscious, and the country is in turmoil. Every time I think about it, I feel..."
Bang!
Zhou Ji could no longer suppress the possessive desire in his heart. He overcame many restrictions and tightly grasped Lu's hands with both hands.
His hands gently pulled towards him, and Lu immediately stepped forward unsteadily, and the two of them were almost touching each other in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Ji said in a deep voice: "My Majesty, I am willing to go through fire and water for your Majesty! Now that the country is in unrest, and the situation between Your Majesty and the Crown Prince is unknown, I am willing to protect and assist the Second Master to the death!"
Ever since she married into the royal family, Ms. Lu had never experienced something like this that had violated the prohibition. She was in a panic and could only hear Zhou Ji's voice continuing to reach her ears.
"If Your Majesty and the Crown Prince are serious... No! As long as the Queen Mother says a word, I will take the supreme position for the Second Master! I only wish to be by the Queen Mother's side and serve her."
Lu's heart beat faster and faster.
She almost squeezed out a voice from her throat: "Well... General Zhou... Lang Zhou took the trouble. As long as you are here, I... I can't repay you..."
After hesitantly finished speaking, Lu's whole body was almost trembling.
She witnessed with her own eyes how Yun Wen had been repeatedly praised by the emperor, and now Zhu Yunxi, the governor of Huaiyou, was observing the government, and now he was engaged to Duke Xinguo.
She knew very well that if nothing unexpected happened to her biological son, he would never have a chance to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty again.
She is unwilling to give in.
The sudden change in just a few months made it impossible for her to adapt.
This is her last chance, and she must not let this opportunity pass away from her.
"Well..."
Lu replied.
A deep voice came from Lu's throat.
Lu's eyes were closed tightly, and her eyelashes were trembling.
……
"Where's the news I want?"
In the Zhongji Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was not very good, but his body was not as sick as the rumors outside. He just lay tiredly on the soft couch and looked at the commander of the Jin Yiwei kneeling in front of him, Jiang Wei. p>
Not far away, Shan Yongnian, the envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital, led several imperial doctors. After preparing a prescription for the emperor to condition his body and nourish his qi and blood, he sat aside and accompanied the emperor to finish the play. Jiang Wei lowered his head, recalling all the reactions that had taken place in Yingtian City in the past few hours.
As news spread that the prince was seriously ill, and as news spread that the emperor's body was ill, Yingtian City became noisy for a while.
Countless people are secretly speculating on where the Ming Dynasty will go next.
Jiang Wei tried his best to keep it short and clear, and replied in a low voice.
"There are five military governors and several princes sitting in the army. It is very quiet at the moment."
"There were only some voices coming from the court, and they seemed to be worried. If it is the Crown Prince... if it is..."
Zhu Yuanzhang took a medicinal decoction that nourished qi and blood, and his face became more colorful.
