That day, Lv Desheng was summoned to the palace to accompany the emperor.

He talked with the emperor for a while, and seeing that his face was a little gray, another eunuch came in to report something, and tactfully said that he was going to solve the three urgent needs of life.

Squatting in the palace toilet, Lv Desheng felt his heart pounding very hard.

The emperor's dragon body was failing too quickly. It scared him to death.

My daughter had said before that if the emperor had symptoms, it would be very fast. Because the appearance of symptoms means that his dragon body can no longer withstand the poison of the elixir, which is equivalent to the final stage, and death is also a matter of time.

But the emperor should have no choice. Since he chose to continue taking the elixir, it was tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst. It must be that the consequences of not taking the elixir were very serious, which made him choose to take the elixir and then overdraw his life or extract the last vitality to refresh himself.

He told himself that at this critical moment, he must be stable.

When Lv Desheng came out to wash his hands after relieving himself, he happened to see Wei Zili.

Lv Desheng's eyes lit up and he came over, "Wei Daban..."

"Lord Lv." Wei Zili smiled at him and then washed his hands seriously.

"I heard that someone has been looking for you in private recently?" he asked in a low voice.

"What is Lord Lv talking about? I don't understand what you mean." Wei Zili still smiled.

Lv Desheng didn't care whether he understood or not, and said directly, "Wei Daban, I'm not saying that we are all serving the emperor. At this critical moment, don't make mistakes." Little guy, you are still pretending with him.

Wei Zili frowned.

Lv Desheng continued, "Some ships look good, but be careful not to step on empty when you get on the ship."

Hearing this, Wei Zili lowered his voice and asked, "Fourth - did he also ask someone to look for you?"

Lv Desheng gave him an unfathomable look, neither saying yes nor no, but screaming in his heart, Four, what four? You want to talk about the fourth prince? ! My daughter guessed right, there really is someone! The fourth prince is really the man behind the scenes!

A sentence slowly emerged in Wei Zili's mind, this fourth prince is unbearable to be with. Things are accomplished by secrecy, and words fail by leaking. Why does he ask everyone about it?

"It is better to serve the emperor well than anything else." Lu Desheng said a heartfelt word to him because they were both wanderers and the information he revealed.

Wei Zili nodded and agreed with him. He originally thought of preparing a back road, but now he doesn't think so. The so-called back road, if too many people know it, it will be a dead end.

The two did not say anything to communicate with each other. Some words can be kept tacitly, but speaking them out will cause trouble.

After relieving himself, Lu Desheng slowly walked back to the imperial study, and there was a faint voice coming from inside.

Lu Desheng noticed that Wei Zili went in with his waist bent, probably for the handover. Sure enough, not long after, his apprentice came out.

Soon, the door of the imperial study opened, and a 13- or 14-year-old boy with a thin figure and gentle eyes walked out.

"I have met His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."

"Lord Lu——" Song Mo seemed to have not expected to meet Lu Desheng. He greeted him shyly, then left quickly with his head slightly lowered.

Lu Desheng looked at his back and wondered if this Fourth Prince with a fresh face, no hair on his face, and a kind look was really the mastermind behind the scenes? It's really a dog that bites without barking. No, you can't judge a person by his appearance.

"Why don't you come in?" Emperor Kang Cheng's voice came from inside.

Lu Desheng quickly gathered his mind and went in.

"What were you thinking just now?"

"Your Majesty, I think the Fourth Prince is very filial and a careful child. He seems to have seen that Your Majesty is not feeling well, so he has been coming to show his filial piety recently."

And the Fourth Prince's methods are quite clever. It seems that he knows that he is not favored by the emperor, and he doesn't come often, but he always sends things to the emperor. For example, a plum blossom in full bloom was sent yesterday: and like the day before yesterday, the fourth prince occasionally ate a dish, and he would tell the Imperial Palace to let the Imperial Kitchen serve the emperor the same one. It gives people a kind of silent care, just like the care of an ordinary son for his sick old father.

Emperor Kang Cheng's eyes were deep, and he didn't say the fourth prince, but tapped his forehead with his finger, "You, you--" Only he dared to say that his dragon body was not feeling well. Many people dared not say more even if they knew that his dragon body was not feeling well, for fear of breaking some taboo.

Speaking of his son, Emperor Kang Cheng couldn't help but mention the prince in the north.

Lu Desheng found that his life was really hard recently.

The emperor was sometimes satisfied with the prince, and sometimes dissatisfied, and he couldn't agree with the emperor. The emperor can complain about the prince, saying that he is not good here and that he is not good at doing well, can he nod his head? If he agrees, it is like looking for shit with a lantern in the toilet.

Then, he can't not speak, right? You let the emperor play a solo, right?

What can he do? He can only praise the prince. The emperor said that the prince was not good at governing, so he praised the prince for being popular and popular, and the ministers were willing to assist him. After he ascended the throne, he only needed to take charge of the government: the emperor said that the prince was indecisive, so he praised the prince for being thoughtful, listening to the opinions of the ministers, and not being arbitrary...

I am so tired...

He felt that if the prince could come back alive, he would be sorry for praising him so much if he didn't give him a higher position after he ascended the throne!

When the topic came up today, Emperor Kang Cheng complained about the prince, and then changed the subject to him, "Lord Lu, you should have no worries, right? Last time at Hongsheng Restaurant, your two children came to see the emperor. They are your youngest son and daughter, right? Although we only met briefly, and I occasionally heard you mention them, I think they are very good."

Look, it's here, it's here again!

Lv Desheng smiled shyly, "Yes, Your Majesty, they are my youngest son and daughter, they are really good. Especially my little daughter, she is very smart." Proud! He dared to say that the situation of his family was not clear to the emperor.

Then, he changed the subject, "But, I am also very annoyed."

Emperor Kang Cheng asked curiously, "What are you annoyed about?"

Lv Desheng said honestly, "I am annoyed with my eldest son."

The emperor has so many worries, and you live a better and happier life than the emperor, and your children are better than the emperor's sons and daughters. Isn't this annoying the emperor? It's hateful!

Moreover, the emperor is saying that the prince is not good in this and that. Your child is so outstanding. Isn't it clear that the emperor is not as good as you? Even so, the emperor can still be close to you? Isn't it a fuss?

Lu Desheng had no choice but to drag out his eldest son.

He continued to say that the whole meaning was, Your Majesty, my eldest son is a bit useless. As the eldest son, his ability may not be enough to support this family. I am currently rescuing him to see if I can save him, but in order to be on the safe side, I have quietly practiced the trumpet.

The eldest son is only useful for this, so don't waste him.

Lu Desheng finally understood what his daughter had been saying all along, there is no pure garbage in the world, only people who don't know how to use it. As a person, you should have an open mind.

Emperors are suspicious, and Lu Desheng is not afraid of him to check. He can find out what the eldest son has been doing over the years. And he himself has indeed brought his eldest grandson Lu Xiao with him to teach him recently. The younger son has a good brain, but he is tired of worldly affairs, so forget it.

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

Seeing Emperor Kang Cheng fall into deep thought, Lv Desheng hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I am a humble minister with a small family and a small business, and I can withstand the tossing. Anyway, the worst case scenario is that I will return to the time when I was penniless overnight. But you are different. You have a big family and a big business, so you must think twice." No, you can't even think about it! Don't have that kind of thought.

Emperor Kang Cheng: No, it is precisely because he is a big family and a big business that we have to think about it, let him think about it.

Lv Desheng looked worried, but he was secretly excited in his heart: Your Majesty, the pattern has been opened, and we have more than just sons as an option, but also grandsons.

As for whether his reminder will make the fourth prince hate him, Lv Desheng thought to himself, whatever. Anyway, the fourth prince is going to calculate the Qin family, and there is no room for him, so why not let him secretly make some trouble? If something happens to the prince, it really allows the emperor to establish the crown prince, which is better than the fourth prince taking the throne.

Tonight is Christmas Eve again.

As soon as Lu Desheng got home, he hugged his old wife and cried. He had a hard time. The emperor had been very difficult to serve recently. He now had a deep understanding of the saying that serving the emperor was like serving a tiger.

When Lu Desheng was having dinner, he saw his eldest son coming back from running errands outside. He smiled and praised him for being very capable and useful recently.

This made Lu Zhiyuan flattered. His father had been finding fault with him recently, which made him feel very uncomfortable. Today, his father smiled at him and praised him. Does it mean that the previous things are over?
