After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

Lu Kui couldn't believe it. His eyes moved up little by little, and met the man sitting high on the black horse.

The man was only wearing a dark blue waisted robe and a pure golden crown, with no other decorations. In the deep night, his face was as clear as jade and his radiance was compelling.

This time, Lu Kui really rolled off the car. He looked up and called out in confusion, "Your Majesty?"

Seeing him like this, Chu Huan lowered his whip and gently brushed his shoulder: "What are you doing hanging around out there? Hurry up and get up."

Even he didn't expect to meet his subordinates at the entrance of this alley.

Since Lu Kui could sit in the position of commander-in-chief, he must be very skilled. He jumped up and came to Chu Huan's horse, and naturally took the reins for his master.

He had not yet recovered from the shock of encountering His Majesty outside the palace: "Master, why are you out at this time?"

Lu Kui looked around and saw that His Majesty was accompanied by only a few guards and no ceremonial guards, so he was obviously leaving the palace incognito. Xiao Ding still had that icy face and nodded when he saw him, followed by his taciturn apprentice.

Chu Huan looked down at him. How come after being thrown to the beach for several months, this kid still looked like a pale scholar?

He was in no mood for idle chatter at this moment, so he just asked, "Where did you come from again?"

Seeing that His Majesty was talking to him but did not stop for a moment and kept walking forward, Lu Kui was puzzled. What happened to make His Majesty, who was always calm, so anxious?

What most people don't know is that Lu Kui is the most trusted confidant of Emperor Zhaoyuan, and the most loyal of his loyalists. Ever since he was saved by Your Majesty when he was eight years old, his life and death, honor and disgrace have been dependent on Your Majesty alone.

If it weren't for Emperor Zhaoyuan's protection, it's doubtful whether Lu Kui could have grown up alive, let alone lived a decent life. The two of them were nominally master and servant, but in reality, in Lu Kui's heart, he always regarded the emperor as his father and brother.

Although, in terms of age, Your Majesty is only two years older than him.

Lu Kui hurriedly said, "Master, I am coming from the Xinyuan Marquis's Mansion."

Chu Huan reined in his horse. He and Wu Xiang turned their heads to look at Lu Kui. “What?”

Lu Kui was confused for a moment. He stopped and asked hesitantly, "What do you mean, Master?"

Chu Huan ignored him. A young voice interrupted: "Master, Lord Lu did go to Marquis Shen's mansion today."

Lu Kui turned his head and saw that it was Han Guang, Xiao Ding's sword-wielding apprentice, who was speaking. He added, "If I am not mistaken, when I left the mansion, Lord Lu should still be in the mansion."

Lu Kui then realized that Han Guang had been planted in the Marquis' Mansion by the Emperor as an insider. Looking at this familiar route, all sorts of conspiracies and tricks started to come to his mind.

The emperor went out in night clothes, accompanied by his imperial guards, and also arranged spies in the Shen family... Oh no! Could it be that His Majesty is going to clean up the Xinyuan Marquis Mansion?

It doesn't matter whether Shen Chongyan is dead or alive, but his daughter Ning'er is still in the Marquis' Mansion. If His Majesty really has this plan, I have to find a way to get Ning'er out before the Shen family gets into trouble.

He suddenly became anxious: "Master, are you going to the Shen family?"

Chu Huan sneered and said, "It seems that after half a year, you have become more capable and are now meddling in my affairs."

Upon hearing this, Lu Kui untied a horse from the carriage behind him, climbed up, and lagged half a body length behind Chu Huan. He argued, "Lu Kui wouldn't dare! I have absolutely no such intention! It's just, it's just..."

Chu Huan asked: "Just what?"

Lu Kui gritted his teeth and asked directly: "Are you going to get rid of Marquis Xinyuan?" He moved his hand across his throat, making a gesture of wiping his neck.

Emperor Zhao Yuan glanced at his personal army commander and couldn't help but doubt his own judgment: "Did you forget your mind after going to Luliang? If you want to kill Shen Chongyan, why should I go to so much trouble to save him?"

However, if it weren't for Ning'er's sake, just because of the grudges in the previous life, he really wouldn't mind sending Shen Chongyan to the next life earlier.

Lu Kui breathed a sigh of relief: "Then why did you think of going to Xinyuan Marquis's residence?"

Chu Huan glanced at him and said, "Have you finished your work? You have the leisure to do this. Either shut up or get out of here."

Lu Kui did not dare to act rudely in front of the emperor. He just kept his mouth shut and guarded Emperor Zhao Yuan.

Han Guang raised his whip and pointed forward, clasping his fists and saying, "Master, look to the west."

Chu Huan had excellent eyesight. Even though it was night, he could still see wisps of black smoke rising from the west and rear of Xinyuan Marquis' Mansion.

When Wu Xiang saw the smoke, he snorted anxiously and turned around twice. Chu Huan reached out and touched his beloved horse's mane soothingly.

His face was as gloomy as water: "How long has this been burning? Hasn't the fire been extinguished yet?"

Han Guang said, "Although the Xixi Temple that caught fire is located in a remote area, it has been in disrepair for a long time and there are many debris. The weather has been dry in the past few days, and there are large trees in the small Buddhist hall. Once the fire starts, it will be difficult to put it out with human power."

"However, the second master of the Shen family has ordered his men to clear out the nearby open space to ensure that the fire will not spread out. The worst that can happen is that the fire will burn out naturally."

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "It is a foolish thing to leave your life to fate."

Although there are many easterly winds in spring, there is no guarantee that the wind direction will be different. If a strong wind blows tonight and blows the burning objects away, who can guarantee that there will not be fires elsewhere? It is safer to put out the fire as soon as possible.

Lu Kui whispered, "Master, when the Xinyuan Marquis's mansion was hit by a fire, I was a guest there."

"It's strange to say, a fire is no small matter. No matter how many people there are in the Marquis' Mansion, they are still negligent in fire control. At that time, I suggested to them that we should report it to the patrol soldiers, and soldiers who are responsible for firefighting would come to help immediately. But from what they said, they would rather have their own people do it and spend more effort, rather than involve the soldiers."

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Xiao Ding, find a way to tell Shen Chongyao that the firefighters from the Central City Military Division will be here soon. Tell him to be prepared and not to think of any other ideas. Put out the fire as soon as possible!"

He then instructed Han Guang: "You go in first and tell your master that I have arrived. Just let her rest assured if there is anything. If she has any further instructions, come back immediately."

Han Guang responded softly, and in a moment, he disappeared into the walled courtyard.

Lu Kui thought it was incredible that there was a big Buddha hidden in this mansion, who could command His Majesty's people and become the master of Xiao Ding's apprentice. I shouldn't have offended this person before, right?

Thinking of this, he became more determined to rescue Miss Ning'er as soon as possible. Otherwise, if she were to face this giant Buddha every day and accidentally offend the nobleman, wouldn't his daughter suffer?

How could he bear to do that?
