No matter who it is, a large-scale plague is no small matter.

Lu Jingyuan also felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

On the contrary, after hearing the news, Lu Youyou immediately realized that something was wrong.

"That is to say, is it possible that the emperor is also a bad person?"

This was the first time Lu Youyou said a complete sentence, but just such a sentence frightened everyone in the general's mansion.

Lu Shengqing quickly stepped forward and covered his sister's mouth.

"You can't say this casually."

Everyone felt scared precisely because everyone had such speculation in their hearts, but Lu Youyou was the only one who said it out loud.

Lu Jingyuan's face suddenly darkened, and he signaled Lu Shengqing to let Lu Youyou go.

"Hey, don't say this nonsense again."

"I knew that my sister could speak, but I didn't expect that she would be so shocked when she spoke."

Lu Shengqing smiled awkwardly, but he still had some lingering fears.

"It's okay. In fact, I have been able to speak for a long time. I just don't want to say it in front of outsiders. My sensible elder brother."

Lu Youyou couldn't bear it anymore, so she said this. Seeing that everyone in her family was worried about the prince, she felt that it was unnecessary.

Everyone in the general's house was shocked that Lu Youyou could always speak but never mentioned this matter. They had even forgotten the shocking words she blurted out just now.

Lu Zhiyan was more serious and quickly brought everyone back to the topic.

"There are only a few of us here now. If you have anything to say, you can say it directly, but you can't say it after you leave the house."

Although he is not in the officialdom, Lu Zhiyan should be considered the most cautious person in their family.

"Why did the emperor suddenly place the prince under house arrest? Why did the plague suddenly break out at this time? Why did the emperor only send a few people to follow the prince when it was clearly an emergency?"

Lu Youyou can't directly say that she knows the plot, but she can find all the clues and guide her family to think about it.

"That makes sense." Lu Jingyuan is a general who cares about the country and the people after all. He doesn't think such a serious matter can be joked about. "Do you need me to send a few people to follow you?"

He has never had any opinions and likes to seek his wife's opinion on everything. But now that Lin Yuyan is not around, he seems to have lost his backbone.

"Don't do it. It's obvious that the emperor wants to get rid of the prince. If we intervene, we might also be involved..."

Halfway through, he realized that the faces of the people around him were not very good. Lu Youyou also quickly closed her mouth. After thinking for a long time, she still didn't speak.

But she forgot that the whole family could hear her voice.

[The prince was originally an ungrateful guy. He just helped him a while ago, but he turned around and wanted to drag the general's mansion into trouble again. Who knows if he will be like this again this time? 】

Lu Wushuang nodded and felt that what his sister said made sense.

"What if we intervene again and still get no good results?"

He also slowly began to care less about the people around him, let alone the prince who tried to harm them several times.

"If I had known this, I shouldn't have even given him the herbs." When Lu Youyou saw Third Brother's expression, she realized that they could hear what she was saying, so she simply put her hands in front of her chest, trying to think of something else to divert her attention.

"You can't say that. If this is really a small move by someone with good intentions, we can't really let them succeed."

"But the prince..."

Lu Jingyuan and Lu Wushuang each have their own worries, but the most important thing right now is whether they can maintain their status as prince.

He can also serve as a shield for the general's palace in a short period of time. If Sheng Jingxuan is really allowed to take the position, neither the emperor nor Sheng Jingxuan will allow the general to continue to hold military power.

Although Lu Youyou knew that the prince's trip would be unlucky and that he would encounter many disasters along the way, she still chose to stay put for the time being when she thought about how he had treated the General's Mansion before.

Lu Youyou didn't tell everything she knew, so that she could leave a way out for herself and her family.

On the other hand, the prince was very happy with the emperor's arrangement.

After finally being able to lift the confinement, he now yearns for freedom very much.

In addition, he was going to show off his skills after going to Dingzhou this time, and he was bound to make some achievements to show the emperor. He was so confident that he didn't notice anything wrong at all.

Fortunately, the queen had been in the harem for many years and had some experience. As soon as she saw the entourage arranged by the emperor for the prince, she realized that something was wrong.

"Ruier, are these the people your father arranged for you?"

The queen looked at the few guards and felt uneasy, so she stopped the prince directly.

"How about you get to know the situation first before going? After all, you have never been to Dingzhou."

Although it was a sincere advice, the prince did not take it to heart.

He just felt that his mother had stayed in the harem for too long, and hesitation would only affect his progress.

"Don't worry, queen mother, when my son comes back this time, he will be able to sit firmly as the prince. No one will want to attack us two again."

The prince saw his mother being bullied by other concubines in the harem even though she was a queen. He saw this and knew that it was because he, the prince, was not valued, so his mother was bullied.

Although the prince had many things that made people dissatisfied, he always treated the queen wholeheartedly.

It can be said that he is not a filial son.

"Good boy, I know you are doing this for your mother's good, but since the matter is serious, we should investigate carefully before setting off."

The queen still couldn't let go, but the prince had already packed his bags and was ready to go.

Although he had already made up his mind, the prince was still somewhat shaken by the Queen's words.

He was already about to leave the palace, but he suddenly decided to return to the East Palace.

"Isn't this brother? Your luggage has been packed, why are you going back again?"

There was something sinister in Sheng Jingxuan's tone. The prince usually disliked him very much, but now he was even more unpleasant to look at.

"Isn't this the Seventh Brother? Why don't you just stay at home and show off? Don't bring out any more assassins and send them to Father. I'm afraid it won't be so easy for the Seventh Brother to get rid of him next time. It’s related.”
