After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

Although Song Xiang was jealous of Emperor Hui for being too heartless, he never thought that things would develop to this point.

He never expected that his son would lead to foreign invasion, causing great suffering and misery to the people.

Kneeling down slowly, he said resolutely: "I beg the prince and the prince to allow me to go to the front of the army."

Lu Chen thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Prepare a carriage for Lord Song."

After sending the person away, he was still very worried about his daughter-in-law and the entire Fu family.

Summoning Lu Bing, Lu Chen ordered in a deep voice: "Minister Fu was not afraid of power in Yundu City and denounced Song Weizhao and the witch Nalan. He is truly a role model for scholars all over the world. I will never watch the entire Fu family being slaughtered. Lu Bing, you must immediately cross the river with the jade seal and replace the Fu family members."

Lu Linchu immediately refuted: "Father, if you hand over the imperial seal, without the imperial seal, wouldn't it be the same as surrendering to Song Weizhao?"

"Prince, the Fu family is the maternal family of the Crown Prince's wife after all."

Lu Bing advised: "The Crown Prince's Consort has worked hard for our Lu family and Liyang City. How can we abandon the entire Fu family for a piece of stone and disappoint the Crown Prince's Consort?"

After thinking for a while, he said, "As the saying goes, those who are righteous will have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous will have few supporters. The Song family kid and Princess Nalan have betrayed the people's hearts, so even if they get the jade seal, they will still not be popular."

"That's easy for uncle to say."

Lu Linchu said unhappily, "Now that Chen Lin has returned to the north with an army of 250,000, Song Weizhao will be even more powerful. If he gets the jade seal, how can our Lu family have the confidence to fight him?"

"Since the Crown Prince's Consort has married into our Lu family, she should put the Lu family first. Our Lu family has been inferior to others for hundreds of years. It is not easy to get the opportunity to conquer the Central Plains. How can we miss this opportunity because of the Fu family? The Crown Prince's Consort has always been able to see the big picture. I think she will understand my father's difficulties."

Hearing this, Lu Chen also fell into hesitation.

Although he had no ambition to become an emperor, he knew the importance of this jade seal. If it fell into Song Weizhao's hands, it would indeed be a big trouble.

Seeing this, Lu Jin knelt down hurriedly and advised: "Your Highness, since ancient times, the rulers have attached great importance to filial piety, brotherhood, benevolence and righteousness, and the people of the world. Let alone the Fu family, even ordinary people, my Lu family will never watch them being slaughtered."

"When Liyang City was besieged this time, the princess and the prince's wife did not abandon the people of the city. The prince's wife was even more fearless and personally climbed the city wall to guard the capital. She won the hearts of the people and also protected the foundation for the Lu family. If the prince's wife had not defended Liyang, how could we have won the great victory in the southern border, and how could we have been at ease fighting the enemy on the front line."

Hearing this, Lu Bing also knelt down and said, "Please think twice, Your Majesty. If you use the Crown Prince's Concubine's mother's family to exchange for the future of the world, in the future, the world of Daning will only be criticized by future generations."

Lu Chen felt a chill down his spine when he heard this. Without waiting for Lu Linchu to speak again, he immediately raised his hand and said decisively, "Send the jade seal across the river."

Lu Linchu was extremely angry and was the first to leave the meeting hall.

When he returned to his bedroom, Chu Huaixi saw that he came back in a gloomy mood, and guessed the reason. He smiled and asked, "Is the prince worried about the Fu family's affairs?"

Lu Linchu closed his eyes and sighed, "Guiyun has indeed sacrificed a lot for our Lu family. It's not that I am cruel. If it was just an ordinary matter, I would have obeyed her and protected her. But this matter concerns the fate of the Lu family. Father is not an ambitious person. If Song Weizhao gets the jade seal, I am afraid that the Lu family will be inferior to others again."

"It's not the prince's fault."

Chu Huaixi poured him a cup of tea and said casually, "After all, the Fu family is the maternal family of the Crown Prince's Concubine, and Song Weizhao has an old relationship with the Crown Prince's Concubine. The Crown Prince's Concubine was forced to marry into the palace, and it is hard to see how loyal she is to the Lu family. Now the Crown Prince's Concubine's younger sister is in the Dayan Palace. If the Crown Prince's Concubine can help Song Weizhao win the world legitimately, won't Song Weizhao take her back to the palace out of consideration for their old relationship?"

When Lu Linchu heard this, he immediately became furious.

It has been almost two years since I got married to the Crown Prince's Consort, but she still refuses to consummate the marriage with me. I'm afraid she has been waiting for this day.

"In my opinion, using the entire Fu family to exchange for the jade seal might be a self-torture trick jointly sung by Song Weizhao, the Crown Prince's Consort, and Miss Fu's sisters. Even if the jade seal is not sent to Dayan, Song Weizhao may not kill the Fu family members."

Chu Huaixi analyzed for him, "The prince has been indifferent these years and has never asked about the affairs of the mansion, but the prince's wife is different. She seems to be forbearing over the past year, but in fact she has been keeping a low profile and winning the hearts of the people. Not only the prince and princess, but now even the young masters listen to her. If she wants to overthrow the Lu family, it will be easy."

The more Lu Linchu listened, the more horrified he felt. He had never expected that woman to be so sinister.

Chu Huaixi added, "The prince has not yet founded the country, but the princess is eager to seek titles for the princes. Now even Lu Bing and Lu Jin are speaking in favor of the princess. The intention is clear. The princess wants the Lu family to be grateful for her kindness and completely isolate the prince."

She spoke with such certainty that Lu Linchu clenched his fists tightly.

Lu Bing and Lu Jin were originally the Fourth Brother's men. They must have received orders from the Fourth Brother to side with the Crown Princess.

Just as Chu Huaixi said, he had been too lazy in the past few years, which gave Lu Linfeng and Lu Linzhi an opportunity to take advantage of him. Now it was time to eliminate these disobedient people.

Fortunately, the garrison commanders in Dali and Tuoyue are all his trusted confidants, so even if the fourth brother is promoted to lead the southern border, he will not dare to act recklessly. On the contrary, those dissidents around Lu Linfeng and his father who are on the side of the two young masters must be eliminated as soon as possible.

He gently held Chu Huaixi in his arms, and said with a look of satisfaction: "Huaixi, I didn't expect you to be so insightful. I didn't see it before."

Chu Huaixi said calmly, "I was just worried that the prince was deceived, so I dared to make random guesses. I am grateful that the prince does not blame me."

"I know your feelings for me."

Lu Linchu stroked her fair cheek, and when he thought of the deceased Jiu Niang, he felt sad: "Huai Xi, don't worry, I will never let you be inferior to others."

"I don't ask for these."

Chu Huaixi said softly, "I made the mistake myself and angered the prince and princess. I should accept the consequences. The prince must not have any grudges against the prince and princess because of me. As long as I can always be by his side, I will be satisfied."

"Don't ever say such things."

Lu Linchu said distressedly, "I understand what my father and mother are thinking. They are just worried that my doting on you will affect the relationship between me and Guiyun. But I am not such a heartless person. Moreover, Guiyun is indeed worthy of being entrusted with household chores. I also know that even if you marry into the family, you will not compete with her for anything."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for understanding me." Chu Huaixi replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Lu Linchu did not stay in the room for long. Chu Huaixi's words just now were like a revelation to him, and made him feel a lot more crisis-ridden.

He could neither let the imperial seal fall into Song Weizhao's hands, nor let the Fu family members come to Jiangzuo.

He wanted to make the Crown Princess deeply jealous of Song Weizhao.

Summoning his trusted aides, he secretly ordered: "Take back the jade seal, and kill the entire Fu family without mercy."
