"you……"

Princess Leyang couldn't believe what she heard, she looked at Xie Yan and Gu Ning, jealousy rolled in her heart.

She first fell in love with Xie Yan because Xie Yan was highly valued by the emperor, but when she saw Xie Yan today, she found that he was handsome, far superior to all the men she had ever seen.

Gu Ning's reputation has long been rotten, and he is still unclear with other men, how can he compare to himself?Princess Leyang is very confident. She thought that her status was more noble than Gu Ning, and it would be easy to win the Xie Yan, but she was humiliated like this.

Why can Gu Ning get such a husband-in-law?

Princess Leyang gritted her teeth and said, "How dare you disrespect me? I want to tell my father!"

As she spoke, she strode towards the Tai Chi Hall.

Everyone in the Pei family has lost their official positions, and the emperor has long disliked the Pei family. She went to sue today, and at least it can cure Gu Ning of a big crime of disrespect!

She wants to see if Gu Ning can still be as stubborn as he is now!

"I'm also going to tell the emperor that the princess wants to seize the fiancé of the courtier's daughter! She even slapped the courtier's daughter! It's a shame for the royal family!" Gu Ning sneered, moving faster than Princess Leyang, and walked in front of her in a few steps.

Xie Yan's cold phoenix eyes swept across Princess Leyang's body, and followed Gu Ning with strides.

Princess Leyang was stared at by her sweetheart, and seeing the backs of the two people who were so well matched, she was trembling with anger, and vowed to get Gu Ning out of the capital.

"Princess, why don't you give in? If this matter is brought up in front of the emperor, I'm afraid the emperor will take the blame on you." Xinyue persuaded her with a drum in her heart.

After hearing this, Princess Leyang glanced fiercely at Xinyue: "Are you crazy? I am the most beloved daughter of my father! I am going to give in to Gu Ning? What is she?"

Xinyue was so sad that she tried to convince Princess Leyang: "The county owner is the Pei family..."

"Don't you know?" Speaking of this, Princess Leyang showed a hearty smile, "The Pei family has been dismissed by the father except for the old general Pei, and the current Pei family can't be her backing!"

Princess Leyang was very arrogant, and even deliberately raised her voice so that Gu Ning in front could hear it.

However, Gu Ning was not as angry as she imagined, but quickened her pace.

She stared fiercely at Gu Ning's back, gritted her teeth and said, "Isn't she really afraid that the father will come down?"

Xinyue was worried and told her instinctively that the matter of the Pei family was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, but Princess Leyang was determined to bring this matter before the emperor. effect.

Gu Ning, who was walking in front, turned sideways and whispered in a voice that only two people could hear: "How is it? Does he have any doubts?"

In Gu Ning's eyes, Princess Leyang's clamor was like a clown. The reason why she came to the palace today was to visit the recovered queen mother, but the real purpose was to see Xie Yan.

No matter how powerful a person is, they cannot be without any fluctuations when facing the corpses of their parents, not to mention the tragic deaths of the first prince and the first princess.

When Gu Ning spoke, his beautiful eyes didn't even blink, just looking at Xie Yan.

Her eyes were full of worry and uneasiness, and her hand subconsciously touched Xie Yan. She wanted to say something, but swallowed it back again.

In such a situation, she didn't know how to appease Xie Yan.

At this time, a big hand held her hand tightly, and the two intertwined their fingers. Gu Ning raised his eyes and met the smile in Xie Yan's eyes.

"I'm fine. This is what I've wanted to do for many years. Scatter their ashes into the river and sea. They mentioned it when I was a child." The tenderness in his phoenix eyes almost turned into substance, "And he He never doubted me, everything I did was following his orders, so how could he doubt me?"

Gu Ning breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words: "That's good."

The emperor is very suspicious, and at such a critical time, he can't be suspected.

The reason why Xie Yan hasn't done anything yet is to sit on the throne in a legitimate way. Now that the edict is in hand, as long as he gets the legendary Jade Seal of Chuanguo and publicizes it, he can become the man who is destined by the people in the mouth of the people. , It's just a pity that she didn't see the whereabouts of the Chuanguo Yuxi in the original book. Even in the ending of the book, when Chu Yunyi ascended the throne, she never found the Chuanguo Yuxi.

I am afraid that only the first emperor will know whether the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom still exists in the world. In this way, Xie Yan must accumulate a reputation for himself.

Gu Ning approached Xie Yan and said in a low voice: "Should we make some more troubles and continue to let Lu Shibo act in the name of the former princess?"

When Xie Yan heard this, a hint of sarcasm flashed across his eyes: "When I entered the palace today, my uncle had already been called into the palace, presumably it was for this matter."

"He's in such a hurry?" Gu Ning said disappointedly, "I thought he would just let it go."

"He got the wrong position, so he was already guilty. Now that the people are talking about the concubine mother and the Lu family again, he will naturally worry that the people will think of the father." Xie Yan looked indifferent and suppressed all the hatred.

Just as Xie Yan said, the atmosphere in the Tai Chi Hall at this time was particularly dignified.

Lu Shikai knelt on the ground, his back was straight, only his head was drooping.

His appearance fell into the eyes of the emperor, making the emperor's face even more ugly.

"Lu Aiqing, I know that you are dedicated to serving the people of the world, but the Lu family is a relative of a traitor. You should not publish prescriptions or open drug stores in her name!"

It took only a few days, and if one didn't pay attention, the name of the first concubine appeared in the mouths of the people in the capital. Even the prescriptions passed down to Jiangnan and other places were called the spirit of the first concubine. How does this not annoy him?How not to be afraid?

He has been in power for more than ten years, and spent more than ten years of time and energy to eliminate the influence of these two people in the hearts of the people. However, after a smallpox, one of the names he feared the most appeared in the mouths of the people again.

What if they use the name of the first prince to do good deeds in the future?

As long as the emperor thought of this, he felt extremely terrified in his heart.

He stared at Lu Shikai, already suspicious.

But Lu Shikai cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, my younger sister died unjustly. At first, the prince conspired against her, so she would not have involved her. She was stupid, but she burned the East Palace on fire and died in the sea of ​​flames. Since then, The younger sister, like the previous prince, became a sinner of treason! The younger sister was raised by the minister, and I really don't want the younger sister to bear such a crime after death."

"The reason why the smallpox prescription was announced in the name of the younger sister is indeed because I want to clean up the crime for the younger sister, but other than that, I have no other intentions."

Although Lu Shikai didn't say it clearly, he has already mentioned the matter that the emperor is most worried about.

The emperor's eyes were gloomy, and he glanced at Lu Shikai, but he still didn't speak.

Seeing this, Lu Shikai said again: "Little sister is just a girl, I did this for her, and also for the reputation of the Lu family. Our Lu family has been clean for a hundred years, but because of the conspiracy of rebels, people all over the world ridiculed me. I refuse to accept it!"

When he said this, his credibility was much higher.

The emperor was selfish, so of course he would not believe that Lu Shikai was just trying to clean up his sister's reputation, but if he brought the entire Lu family with him, it would be very reasonable for the emperor.

The Lu family is full of dead and sick, Lu Shikai is unwilling to marry and have children, and he is the only one left in the direct lineage. The emperor also learned from the shadow guard before that the collateral lineage of the Lu family is fighting for the family property, relying on nothing more than More than ten years ago, the rebellion of the former prince plunged the Lu family into a quagmire.

And Lu Shikai didn't directly say this reason, the emperor also understood very well, after all, Lu Shikai was so arrogant, how could he admit that he made public prescriptions to help others for the sake of his family property?Such a literati is the most proud, and absolutely refuses to involve these good deeds with interests.

After thinking for a moment, the emperor waved his hand: "Forget it, it's just this one time, if there is another time, don't blame me for being merciless."

Lu Shikai responded blankly, secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, these years, he has always shown weakness, ignoring these complicated matters, the emperor will not be so wary of him, if it is the Pei family...

I'm afraid that the moment the prescription is made public, they will be surrounded by the Imperial Army.

Seeing that Lu Shikai still had that haughty look, the emperor was not annoyed.

On the contrary, what he appreciates the most is these qualities of the Lu family. It's a pity that most capable members of the Lu family are arrogant and cannot accept having in-laws with rebels. After Qichen's change, the head of the Lu family brought a few children He hanged himself, leaving only a single seedling, Lu Shikai, and he happened to spare Lu Shikai's life, so as to show his mind to the world.

Just when the emperor was about to speak, outside the door, Li Dehai said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Princess Leyang and the County Lord Changning are here... and Mr. Xie is also waiting outside the hall."

Hearing this, the emperor's face turned cold: "What are they here for?"

Li Dehai glanced at Lu Shikai, but did not speak.

Seeing this, the emperor waved his hand: "Lu Aiqing is one of my own, you don't need to worry, just say it."

"The princess and the county lord are here to sue you. The county lord Changning said that the princess wanted to rob her fiancé, but beat her if she couldn't. The princess said that the county lord despised the royal family and asked you to punish him."

The emperor squeezed the armrest tightly, and secretly cursed the idiot in his heart.

"Your Majesty, it's time for me to leave." Lu Shikai cupped his hands, "This is your family matter, if I continue to listen, I'm afraid it won't be good."

A celebrity like him has never been restrained by other courtiers in front of the emperor, and the emperor is used to this, so he nodded immediately.

When Lu Shikai walked out of the hall, he happened to see Gu Ning who was standing next to Xie Yan, who was talking small things with tears in his eyes.

And Xie Yan was standing there at a loss, wanting to comfort her, but he was worried about so many guards around him watching, so he could only stand outside Gu Ning, covering her from the hot sun. Crystal beads of sweat.

A smile flashed across Lu Shikai's eyes, he had never seen such an expression on his nephew's face, even when he was young, he always had a cold face, like an exiled immortal, uncontaminated by any human fireworks.

But now...

Gu Ning turned his head and met Lu Shikai's smiling eyes.

Her body froze immediately, who could tell her why such a coincidence happened?How come Lu Shibo has come out and there is still no movement in the hall?She quickly pushed Xie Yan away, and the distance between the two was a little further.

Lu Shikai saluted Gu Ning with a smile, and nodded slightly to Xie Yan. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a sharp female voice from behind.

"Who are you? You don't even salute when you see this princess?"

Princess Leyang stood in the shadow under the eaves, staring at Lu Shikai with gloomy eyes.

"I seldom go to Beijing, so I don't know who the princess is..." Lu Shikai smiled, still not giving Princess Leyang any face.

His words made Princess Leyang even more angry: "This princess is the only Princess Leyang who was bestowed the title by the emperor! If you despise this princess, you are despising the emperor! Come on! Drag him down and beat him twenty times !"

"Princess, no!" Li Dehai hurried out and persuaded in a low voice, "Lord Lu is not in the capital all year round, so it is reasonable to not know your name."

Xinyue also hurriedly said: "Princess, even if you want to punish the minister, you should sue the emperor. If you go ahead of the emperor and do it yourself, I'm afraid the censor's papers will be full tomorrow."

After Princess Leyang calmed down, her complexion was not very good, but Li Dehai came out, and Li Dehai represented the attitude of the emperor, she dared not refuse, so she could only grit her teeth: "I'll let you off this time!"

After finishing speaking, she lifted her skirt and strode into the Tai Chi Hall.
