After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Lin Wan'er hurriedly knelt down and performed the ceremony of kneeling respectfully.

When Luluo heard the word "Your Majesty", she was so frightened that she even kowtowed with trembling hands.

She never dreamed that they would be able to meet the emperor!

In the capital, many ladies with royal titles were not qualified to meet the emperor.

Lin Wan'er wore a thin veil, and the young emperor thought it was just to cover her face when going out, and didn't think much about anything else.

The young emperor said solemnly: "Your father and brother died at the border, and I am deeply saddened. I wonder if Miss Lin has any relatives at home? Or even distant relatives?"

Lin Wan'er shook her head.

The young emperor knew that she had been poisoned and silenced by the Beiliang people, and a trace of pity flashed across his eyes: "How did your father and brother sacrifice themselves?"

The eunuch behind him brought a small table that had been prepared long ago and placed it in front of Lin Wan'er.

Lin Wan'er picked up the pen, dipped the tip of the pen in ink, and wrote on the paper: "Three years ago, General Lu learned important military information from Shengjing, Beiliang, and rushed back to Yumen Pass overnight to report to General Han. On the way, he encountered a group of Beiliang bandits and was rescued by my father and brother. On the way to escort General Lu back to the military camp, the Beiliang bandits made a comeback and brought a lot of secret guards with them. My father and brother... eventually died tragically at the hands of that group of Beiliang people."

The young emperor looked at her fingers gradually clenching and her eyes gradually turning red, and suddenly he couldn't bear to ask any more questions.

The eunuch glanced at the emperor and asked on his behalf: "Where is the Black Iron Order?"

Lin Wan'er held back her tears and continued writing, "Before my father died, he gave the Black Iron Order to General Lu and asked him to come to Ji County to find me."

"I see."

The young emperor nodded, "General Han, do you know the identity of your father?"

Lin Wan'er shook her head, dipped the ink again, and wrote: "My father kept his real name secret. General Han only thought that my father was promoted from an ordinary soldier to a deputy general."

The official system of the military camp is slightly different from that of the imperial court. Officials below the general do not need to be approved by the Ministry of Revenue and can be appointed by the general himself.

The young emperor asked, "Do you know the whereabouts of the other eleven guards?"

Lin Wan'er wrote: "I don't know."

The young emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Your father asked Lu Lingxiao to leave the Black Iron Order to you. In addition to entrusting him with his care, he must have other intentions."

If it was just a request for an orphan, there would be no need to reveal her identity. The grace of saving her life alone was enough for Lu Lingxiao to take care of her for the rest of her life.

Lu Xingzhou understood the young emperor's hidden meaning. His eyes turned and he immediately said, "Wan'er, when you were at home, did the Eleventh Guards ever come to visit your father?"

Lin Wan'er recalled and wrote: "Some people did come, but my father didn't tell me who they were, and he didn't allow me to ask."

"That's it!" Lu Xingzhou looked at the young emperor excitedly, "Although I don't know where the eleventh guard has gone, I think that maybe one day, they will take the initiative to contact Wan'er! Wan'er, if the eleventh guard comes to look for you, you will report it to His Majesty, right?"

The young emperor looked at Lin Wan'er without blinking.

Lin Wan'er nodded slowly.

Lu Xingzhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The young emperor asked again: "How are you doing in the Lu family?"

Lin Wan'er wrote: "Everything is fine with this minister."

Luoluo knelt on the ground, leaned forward, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

The young emperor's eyes fell on Lin Wan'er's half-revealed veil: "What's wrong with your face?"

I didn't look at it carefully just now, but now that I look at it carefully, something seems to be wrong.

Lin Wan'er touched her face, lifted up her slightly drooping veil, and wrote, "It's okay."

The young emperor frowned.

The eunuch hurried forward and pulled off her veil. Suddenly, a face with fingerprints and bruises came into view.

Not to mention the young emperor, even Lu Xingzhou was surprised.

The young emperor asked angrily, "Who hurt you?"

Lin Wan'er didn't say anything.

The young emperor looked coldly at Luluo beside her: "You say! If you dare to lie to me, I will punish you for deceiving the emperor!"

Luoluo said in a trembling voice: "Yes... the eldest young master's wife!"

The young emperor clenched his fists: "How can this be possible!"

Lu Xingzhou glared at Luluo, lifted his skirt, knelt down and saluted, saying: "I am guilty of not managing my family properly!"

The young emperor was about to lose his temper when a guard came in through the curtain and whispered something in his ear.

His expression changed slightly, and he clenched his fists tighter. After a moment, he slowly loosened them.

Lu Xingzhou observed the expression and said tactfully, "Your Majesty, Wan'er and I have been away for a long time. The old lady and my mother must be worried. I will take my leave first, Wan'er."

Lin Wan'er kowtowed, then left with Lu Xingzhou, taking Luluo with her.

The young emperor came out of the pavilion, looked at the mountains, and walked to the small courtyard behind the temple.

Lu Yuan sat on the floor of a luxurious and elegant Zen room. There were not many furnitures, just a screen, a small table, two cushions, one large and one small, and a stove for warming hot tea.

The imperial physician just changed his medicine.

He moved around a lot and his wounds didn't heal well, so the imperial physician told him to keep himself occupied, and he only wore a thick purple robe on his upper body.

When the young emperor entered the room, he saw him sitting on the ground with injuries, leaning against the wall and reading Buddhist scriptures.

This disheveled appearance is truly inappropriate in front of the emperor.

But in the capital, who can say anything bad about General Lu?

"Shangfu."

The young emperor said.

Lu Yuan paused while reading the Buddhist scriptures, turned around, and smiled, "Why is your Majesty here? I am seriously injured and cannot perform the ceremony. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The young emperor sat down on the floor opposite him: "Father, you are too kind. I heard that you are recovering from your injuries in the Governor's Mansion..."

Lu Yuan said calmly, "It's just a cover."

The young emperor asked, "Father, do you know who did this?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "We are still investigating. If we find anything, we will report it to Your Majesty immediately."

The young emperor lowered his eyes and rubbed the tassel on his waist helplessly.

Lu Yuan continued to read Buddhist scriptures.

The young emperor broke the sudden silence: "I came to Hanshan Temple today... and met Miss Lin."

Lu Yuan paused: "Shen Hou's daughter?"

The young emperor nodded: "Yes."

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you can see whoever you want to see. You don't need to tell me."

The young emperor stopped talking and rubbed the ears of corn awkwardly, as if he wanted to make a twist of dough.

Lu Yuan lazily flipped a page of the Buddhist scriptures: "Master Liaokong is next door. Since Your Majesty is here, go and meet him."

The young emperor stood up, turned and walked out of the meditation room.

At the door, he turned his back to Lu Yuan and looked at the tall mountains in the distance: "Father Shang, take good care of your injuries and return to the court as soon as possible. I still need Father Shang to govern the country with me!"

On the other side, when the old lady saw Lin Wan'er coming back, she knew that the things her son had asked her to do had been done, so she decided to go home.

The nanny appeared at the right moment: "So the young lady is here. Sorry to bother you all!"

She reached out to hug Baoshu.

Baoshu shook her little head and threw herself into Meng Qianqian's arms.
