The deployment of troops to the northwest was quickly completed and sent to the cabinet. Lu Hengxiu checked and found that there was nothing wrong with it, so he added another person's name to the list of dispatched troops: Ning Yuanhang.

Unfortunately, Su Jia happened to bump into him, and couldn't help asking: "My lord, who is this person? I have never heard that he was involved in this transfer of troops."

"It's just an insignificant young general. For such a large-scale deployment, it doesn't matter if there is one more. Ning Yuanhang only has more than 1000 people in his hand, so he will merge his team into the Liangzhou army to practice and practice."

"I don't know what kind of relationship this General Ning has with your lord. To be so favored by your lord, you don't hesitate to change the strategic deployment of the Ministry of War without authorization, but you have to add this person." Su Jia said with a smile.

"You, why are you thinking so much? Although I changed it without authorization, I will have to submit it to the emperor in a while. I will naturally report it at that time. I have nothing to do with Ning Yuanhang. When he was an official in the Ministry of Officials in the past, he was still a Centurion, he committed a crime at the border and was dealt with, I just saved him once."

"Your Excellency is not a person who can cheat for personal gain in order to form a party for personal gain. Why would you come forward to protect a stranger?"

"Because what he committed was wronged, and his relatives and friends begged me to come to my door, so I just offered to help. Besides, how do you know that I am not a person who can cheat for personal gain for the sake of forming a party?" Lu Hengxiu turned back and smiled. He, Su Jia is a measured person, and he is also the most caring person in the cabinet, so he does not avoid Su Jia in general matters.

"I know the character of your lord. Even if you don't talk about the wind and the moon, you don't think you will do such things as forming a party for personal gain. Even if you form a party, your lord will not do it for yourself."

"Stop talking nonsense, go and send the official documents in." Lu Hengxiu sorted out the official documents, and pushed forward to signal Su Jia to deliver the official documents.

"Eh? Your Excellency won't be entering the palace today?"

"Not going, there are other things."

"Yes." It seems that this errand matter has fallen on her head again, Su Jia thought with a wry smile.

The deployment of the war in the Northwest has been determined so far, and Lu Hengxiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, remembering that he still has the title of Grand Tutor.

He taught the crown prince Jing Ke carefully before, and finally dispelled the little crown prince's hostility. He has been busy with the affairs of the northwest, and he hasn't been to the East Palace for a long time, so it's time to visit now.

Lu Hengxiu has the status of the prince and grand tutor, so it is very convenient to walk to the East Palace, so he made up his mind and left the official documents to go to the East Palace.

It just snowed last night, and you can still see the palace people sweeping the snow along the way. Although the main road has been cleared, it is still a bit slippery. Walk on the palace road.

When he was near the East Palace, a thinly dressed court lady suddenly rushed out of the stabbing, carrying a basin of water and putting it on Lu Hengxiu.

"My servant knows my mistake, my servant knows my mistake, my lord, please forgive me, my lord, please forgive me!" Seeing that she had caused trouble, the maid immediately knelt down in the snow and kowtowed, chanting loudly.

After being splashed with water in the winter, the cold wind could almost freeze people to death. Lu Hengxiu was furious, but he didn't want to blame the maid for such a trivial matter, so he asked the maid who caused trouble to get up.

The palace maid stood up tremblingly, Lu Hengxiu saw that she looked familiar, and only after ordering her to raise her head did she recognize this person.

It turned out that the lady-in-waiting who caused trouble was Hong Liao, the maid-in-waiting next to Empress Duan. Lu Hengxiu had seen her several times a few years ago. She was arrogant and domineering, and she had ridiculed Lu Hengxiu, so she was more impressive.

"Hong Liao, you..." Before Lu Hengxiu had time to deal with it, the eunuch in charge of the East Palace greeted him.

"Oh, hey, what a crime, why is Mrs. Lu splashed with water in this cold weather, go in with the servants and change clothes." The eunuch in charge came over in a hurry, and only saw Hong Liao when he got closer.

"Why did you come here again? I told you that you would never see the prince. You are a sinful slave. The emperor spared your life because of his kindness. You are so ungrateful that you still insist on not leaving."

"Eunuch, leave her alone, just send her away, don't be embarrassed." Lu Hengxiu didn't expect that Hong Liao was still alive, let alone that the bright and bright Hong Liao, the big maid next to the empress in the past, would change into the present appearance.

"Oh, Taifu Lu, you are really kind. Did you hear that, why don't you thank Master Taifu for your kindness."

"Thank you, Master Taifu, for your kindness." After hearing this, Hong Liao knelt down and kowtowed.

"Okay, okay, let's go, don't be an eyesore here." The eunuch in charge waved her off, and Hong Liao left with his head down.

"Teacher, you are here. His Royal Highness is thinking about you. If you don't come again, the servant will have to invite you."

Lu Hengxiu listened absently to the eunuch in charge, and then looked in the direction where Hong Liao was leaving.

"Does she always come here? I thought they were all dealt with."

"Yeah, I turned around to take a look every few days, but she was so low that she couldn't even enter the door, so she lingered for a while and then left. Originally, these people should be executed, but the emperor's house is kind, and the queen stayed behind before she died. The suicide note, begging the emperor to let go of the old servants in the queen's palace, so the emperor just sent them to the laundry room, and did not kill them."

"So that's it. Does the eunuch know why she always wanders around the East Palace?"

"Thinking about climbing high branches, I heard that this Hong Liao was a celebrity in front of the empress, and I thought she had served the prince personally. Now I can't stand the drudgery of the laundry room, so I want to ask the prince to save her, but she also Don't think about it, the one who sent them away is the emperor, how can His Royal Highness be the master at such a young age?"

"So she is also a confused person. Father-in-law must stop her in the future, and don't let her scare His Highness the Crown Prince."

"How can this be? Don't worry, the servant must have taken a good look at her. She will be here soon. You should change your clothes first so you don't catch a cold."

"Thank you, father-in-law." Lu Hengxiu walked in as he said, and changed his robe that was about to freeze.

Hong Liao's behavior is really strange, just now she bumped into him, not accidentally, but on purpose.Also, when she looked up at herself just now, she clearly wanted to say something, but just as the eunuch in charge came over, she stopped talking.

What does she have to say to me?In the past, I never had any friendship with her. What is the reason why she stopped me even at the risk?
