"what?"

Rong Sheng thought Lu Yue would not ask any more questions, but for some reason, he had particularly many questions today.

"This..." Her brain was working rapidly, and then she made up a story without changing her expression, "His Royal Highness Prince Ming probably didn't tell you that Rong Dexin also had contact with the Xia family."

"Oh, I see." Lu Yue nodded in understanding and finally stopped asking, "Then Princess, let's go quickly, it's almost dawn."

"call--"

Rong Sheng finally felt relieved after hearing this. She let out a long sigh and then realized that a thin layer of sweat had already seeped out on her forehead.

Then she carefully hid the letter in an inconspicuous corner.

Finally, he checked the location of the wooden box again and then followed Lu Yue out of the house.

The two of them did not dare to delay after leaving Du's house. They trudged all the way and finally arrived near Rongguo Marquis Mansion before dawn.

"Princess, do you think that Lord Zhou will really listen to us during the morning court today?"

"Don't worry, I can see that he still cherishes his life." Rong Sheng said confidently, "Besides, I will hide nearby. If he wants to turn against us, I will report to the emperor alone in the name of Princess Yong'an, and I will definitely tear off the hypocritical mask of the Lu family."

Lu Yue's eyes changed slightly after hearing this, and he couldn't help but admire Rong Sheng's courage: "Then I will also wait outside the palace and let the princess send me orders."

"Okay, go back and rest first. The morning court session should start in another hour."

"My Lord, I'm leaving now."

Lu Yue bowed, turned around and quickly disappeared into the night.

He jumped quickly all the way and only breathed a sigh of relief when he entered Prince Ming's Palace.

Sitting on a stone pier in the mansion with his whole body relaxed, Lu Yue let the bright moonlight spread over his head.

"How strange." He lowered his head and muttered to himself, "Could the princess's words be made up? When did the Xia family have any contact with the Marquis of Rongguo?"

"Besides, the prince would tell me any secrets immediately. It would be unreasonable to hide this information."

He thought about it for a while and felt more and more that Rong Sheng's identity as the Feng family's adopted daughter was unreliable.

"Let's wait for the prince to come out before discussing this."

He shook his head, went straight back into the house and fell into a deep sleep.

The night passed peacefully, and the sun gradually emerged from the horizon.

At this time, there were very few people on the streets of Kyoto.

However, around the imperial city, there was an endless stream of carriages carrying ministers to the morning court.

Of course, Lu Anfei is indispensable among them.

Lu Anfei sat upright in the carriage. As usual, he would close his eyes and rest for a while on the way to court.

The Lu family's driver was also yawning and staring at the road ahead with sleepy eyes.

The Wei family has now been defeated by General Xia, and Lu Anfei finally has some free time these days.

The next step is to replace Rong Jin, otherwise Lu will have to look for him every few days.

But since he has sat in this position, he naturally enjoys it.

If he helps others, money will flow into the pockets of his Lu family continuously.

Now the Lu family’s wealth can be regarded as the hidden richest people in Beijing.

In time, he will be able to resign from his official position and return home with his wife and children.

The scenery in the south of Dazhen is very beautiful, and he can travel around and no longer have to stay in the capital and be servile in front of the prince and others.

I was imagining a bright future and before I knew it I had arrived at the palace gate.

"Sir, here we are."

"So fast..." Lu Anfei slowly raised his eyelids, shook his shoulders and neck, cheered himself up, and got off the carriage.

It was already dawn, and Lu Anfei was walking in the middle of the ministers' team.

As if feeling bored, he glanced around, spotted Zhou Xu in front of him, and slowly walked over.

"Master Zhou, have you sorted out yesterday's accounts?"

"Reply...Reply to Lord Lu, everything has been sorted out. You can go to the Ministry of Revenue to review it later." Zhou Xu recalled the shocking scene he saw in Yancui Pavilion yesterday, and looked at Lu Anfei with some unnatural eyes.

He wrote down everything Rong Sheng had told him yesterday, and now he didn't know if the emperor had seen the memorial...

However, Lu Anfei did not notice Zhou Xu's abnormality. He patted Zhou Xu on the shoulder and said, "No need to review it. I trust you to do the job."

"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Lu." Zhou Xu smiled and walked towards the main hall.

After a while, all the civil and military officials finally gathered in the hall.

Everyone was dressed neatly, holding the tablet in their hands solemnly and waiting quietly for the emperor to appear.

Not long after, the emperor, wearing a golden crown, slowly walked up the stairs and sat on the dragon throne.

As soon as he sat down, some sharp-eyed officials noticed something was wrong.

Because the emperor's expression today was unusually solemn, as if he was about to burst into curses in the next second.

Lu Anfei also discovered it, but he didn't think it was himself. After all, the emperor had never pointed out any mistakes in his life in all these years.

Now that the Wei family and Prince Ming have fallen, it is even less likely that he will be noticed by the emperor.

But he was wrong this time.

The emperor just glanced at all the civil and military officials as usual, and finally fixed his cold eyes on Lu Anfei.

Lu Anfei was staring at the tablet in his hand in a daze, but his thoughts were interrupted by the emperor's sudden cold gaze.

He lowered his head and glanced at the emperor out of the corner of his eye, confirming once again that the emperor was really staring at him at this moment. He couldn't help but feel shocked and surprised.

What have I not done well recently?

Or is it that someone is reporting me?

If it is the latter, combined with the emperor's frightening look at the moment, then the content of the grievance could not be...

"Mr. Lu..." The emperor spoke in a deep voice to Lu Anfei, and waved to Eunuch Gao, signaling him to skip the step of greetings from all the ministers.

"I'm here!" Lu Anfei was startled when he heard the words and hurriedly stood out from the team.

"Take a look, what is this."

The emperor's tone became increasingly cold and stern, and he handed the memorial in his hand to Eunuch Gao.

Afterwards, Eunuch Gao paced steadily and walked through the ministers towards Lu Anfei.

Zhou Xu nodded slightly, glancing at the memorial in Eunuch Gao's hand, feeling a little uneasy.

The emperor must have really seen the memorial that I drafted.

Am I going to appear on stage so soon...
