When Lu Qipei returned to the Princess Mansion, it was already dark.

Qi Yang was naturally waiting for her, and when he saw her coming back, he asked: "Why did you come back so late, what did Brother Chu ask you to say?"

When Lu Qipei saw Qi Yang, he complained first: "The king of Chu is so stingy, he invited me to Taoranju during dinner time, but he only ordered a pot of tea, and he didn't even invite me to have a meal." After finishing speaking Looking pitifully at Qi Yang: "A-Ning, I'm hungry."

When Qi Yang heard the words, he couldn't care less about the King of Chu's purpose, so he hurriedly ordered Zhiting to pass on the food—in fact, knowing that the son-in-law was invited by the King of Chu to Tao Ranju, who would have thought that she didn't even get a meal?Right now, the princess has had her dinner long ago, and there is no meal prepared in the kitchen. If she wants to pass the meal, she has to make it now, and it will take some time.

Lu Qipei knew it well, after changing into normal clothes, he brought a plate of pastries to pad his stomach.

Seeing her like this, Qi Yang couldn't help but blame the King of Chu for being stingy, and he felt pity for his son-in-law even more.However, after changing the topic twice, he turned back: "What's going on today?"

Lu Qipei didn't hide it from her after being coquettish, so he ate the milk cake and told Qi Yang everything about today.

At the end, Qi Yang couldn't help laughing: "It seems that I wrongly blamed Brother Chu before. He is not stingy, he is full of you, and he forgot to have dinner."

Lu Qipei raised the corners of his lips, and also laughed, with an inexplicably smug look.

After Qi Yang laughed, he picked up a piece of milk cake, fed it to Lu Qipei's lips, and asked: "That man, King Chu, thinks he's smart, and you should have ignored him in the first place. How do you plan to end the trouble now?"

Lu Qipei obediently bit the milk cake and ate it, then lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "The prince's health is getting worse and worse, these princes are becoming more and more unable to sit still. From what I see, it's time to make an example of them."

The Gyeongju governor's case is neither big nor small, at least based on Lu Qipei's three years of experience in Dali Temple, there is nothing about this case that could alarm her.In fact, the official position of governor of this state is not small, especially for the king of Chu and others, they don't have much power in the court at all, so they can only spend their efforts on local affairs.

It is not easy for the king of Chu to win over a governor, and more importantly, if he can protect the governor of Qingzhou this time, others will think highly of him. In the future, it will be much easier for him to use his methods to win people's hearts.

In addition, it was his plan to drag Lu Qipei into the water - if Lu Qipei really helped him this time, then there will be two in the future, and he has more handles to insert his hand into Dali Temple up.If not, he would disclose the so-called "evidence" to Qi Yang, and let Nan Ping go out to publicize it, and the loving couple would have to be broken up!

Three years of interests have been tied up. Don't look at Lu Qipei who is now only nesting in Dali Temple as a young minister. There are also many forces from the prince's line behind her.If she is separated from Qi Yang and even the crown prince, then the benefits for King Chu and others may not be less.

The young couple understood all of this, Qi Yang shook his head and sighed: "My brothers, none of them are really smart. He just eagerly sent the handle to you like this. It doesn't count if he is the governor of Qingzhou, he still has to do it." It’s only fun to pay yourself in.”

Lu Qipei smiled and pulled him into his arms: "I have to dig a bigger hole for him."

In the middle of March, the governor of Qingzhou was arrested and brought to Beijing. Knowing that he was a member of King Chu, they all waited to see the excitement of King Chu.

Lu Qipei was still investigating the case in her Dali Temple, and the King of Chu's letter was pressed from every three or two days to one every day, as if he was afraid that no one would know that she had something to do with the King of Chu.

Qi Yang is also very irritable recently.In spring, when Yan Yin was in full bloom, she met Nan Ping a few more times. Every time the latter saw her, his chin was upturned, and his gaze looked at her even higher, revealing an undisguised complacency.

To be honest, Qi Yang has never been treated like this before at such a young age, and he almost laughed angrily for a while.

Finally, Qi Yang's patience ran out, and in the evening, he grabbed Lu Qipei who had just returned home, and opened his mouth to ask, "Have you dug that hole yet?"

Lu Qipei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he immediately reacted and smiled reassuringly: "It's almost there. But if Your Highness can't wait, there will be a court meeting in the future, how about letting them worry for a while?"

Qi Yang praised himself, turned his head and put the matter aside.

Two days later, at the court meeting, Lu Qipei stood in the ranks and did not move, and the censor took the initiative to stand up for impeachment.The object of impeachment is naturally the King of Chu, and the crime is that the King of Chu accepts bribes, disregards human lives with his ministers, and seeks the people's land and property.

The piles of evidence were laid out one by one, not to mention that the king of Chu and the governor of Qingzhou were tied together, and the main messenger was changed into the king of Chu.

The king of Chu defended himself in the hall, but he was not loved and valued by the emperor, and now the evidence is conclusive.The emperor was furious and didn't listen to his sophistry, so he ordered Habayashi to take him back to the palace and order Dali Temple to investigate the case thoroughly.

Before being taken away, the king of Chu looked at Lu Qipei, his eyes were full of panic asking for help, how could he have the arrogance he had back then?

Lu Qipei looked at King Chu being taken away by Yu Lin, silently looked away, noncommittal.

That night, the Princess Mansion welcomed a guest, Nanping.

Nanping and the king of Chu are not from the same mother, but just like the prince and Qi Yang, the prince and princess in the palace often hug each other.Especially for those who have no siblings, they have formed an alliance with each other early, and they can make life much easier if they advance and retreat together.

Now that the king of Chu is in trouble, Nanping certainly cannot stay out of it.She came here this time not for Qi Yang, but for the son-in-law. She is also a princess, so how can she be alone with her sister's son-in-law?

So in the end, they couldn't avoid Qi Yang, and when they arrived at the flower hall, the three of them sat together.

Qi Yang cooked tea casually, quietly admiring Nanping's ugly face opposite him.Finally, the tea was cooked and the three of them poured out a cup, and then asked calmly: "Sister Huang came to my house at night, I don't know why?"

However, Nanping no longer has the aloofness he had in front of Qi Yang recently.She pursed her lips tightly and looked at Lu Qipei, but she saw Lu Qipei drinking tea unhurriedly, occasionally looking at Qi Yang, his eyes were still full of affection, and the two people's detached appearance was still so dazzling.

The two of them were able to wait, but Nanping couldn't wait, she didn't even touch the tea that Qi Yang poured, and said straight to the point: "Today's court meeting, Brother Chu was set up by someone, and now the case has been handed over to Dali Temple for trial, I hope Lu Shaoqing will investigate clearly. "

Nanping bit the word "Mingcha" very hard, obviously implying something.

Lu Qipei seemed not to understand, calmly nodded and said: "Princess, don't worry, I will deal with it fairly."

Nan Ping looked at her, under the flickering lights, the young and handsome face was full of calm, the sentence "handle it fairly" was obviously not a lie.Suddenly, more anxiety arose in her heart, and her hands hidden in her sleeves could not help but twist into a ball, but she still managed to maintain her composure on her face: "King Chu is innocent, he was framed by others, I believe Lu Shaoqing will be able to pay back." He's fair, isn't he?"

Lu Qipei laughed, and her smile was as bright as the moon, and few people would not be attracted: "If His Royal Highness Chu Wang is innocent, Dali Temple will give him justice, the princess can rest assured."

Nan Ping was also dazzled by her expression, and immediately realized that Lu Qipei opened his mouth twice today, but he shied away twice - she was not as the king of Chu said, because she was restrained, on the contrary, she seemed to be making trouble!

Looking at Lu Qipei, and then at Qi Yang who was always calm, Nan Ping suddenly felt a little chilly.

Compared with King Chu, Nanping was obviously more impatient.Facing Lu Qipei's indifferent appearance, she finally couldn't help blurting out: "Lu Qipei, do you think that if brother Chu has something to do, you can sit back and relax?"

Lu Qipei chuckled lightly when he heard the words, but remained unmoved: "Lu always sits back and relax, what is he doing with His Royal Highness Chu?"

Qi Yang listened to the conversation between the two without interrupting, as if he didn't care about the wit in their conversation.Seeing that Lu Qipei had drunk most of the tea, he even lifted the pot to refill it for her. The husband and wife were in harmony, which made people's teeth itch.

Nan Ping finally stood up as soon as he took the case, and no longer hid it: "Lu Qipei, you are not afraid of letting people know about the good deeds you have done, so I will have a good talk with my imperial sister." After she finished speaking, she looked at Qi Yang, There was a sneering smile on his face again: "My good imperial sister, you don't know yet, your good son-in-law brought his illegitimate son back to the princess mansion, are you happy raising him?"

Without the expected panic, nor the expected rage, Qi Yang picked up the teacup and took a sip quietly, and replied: "Lu Sheng is very cute, I am very happy raising him."

Nanping was stunned when he heard the words, and then narrowed his eyes slightly: "You don't believe me?"

Qi Yang drank tea without saying a word, looking at her like he was looking at a clown.

Nanping was so angry that she said three good words in succession, but she thought she was full of confidence, so she said again: "You don't believe me, can you trust these evidences?" She took out a stack of papers from her sleeve, and said : "If you don't believe me, I still have witnesses."

Qi Yang took the paper that Nan Ping threw angrily, and Lu Qipei curiously moved up to read it with her.However, this stack of papers is mostly testimonials, including the doctor who treated Lu Qicheng back then, and the woman Wen who later delivered Lu Sheng's baby. There are many testimonies from all kinds of people, and they almost checked everything before and after Lu Sheng's birth. .

It's a pity that there is no testimony from the servants of the Lu family, otherwise the King of Chu and Nanping would at least know one thing, that is, Lu Sheng's biological mother used to serve in Lu Qicheng's room, and had nothing to do with Lu Qipei.

After reading it, Lu Qipei said with emotion: "Qi Bo governs the family very strictly."

Qi Yang nodded in agreement, looking at the stack of so-called testimony evidence, she didn't even raise her eyebrows.

The neutral reaction of the two was completely beyond Nanping's expectation, especially Nanping paid a lot of attention to Qi Yang, so he knew a lot about it.Looking at Qi Yang's expression, she knew that she was not trying to save face in front of her, but that she really didn't take this matter to heart.

But why?Do you still believe her?But her evidence was clear, and the son-in-law didn't even say a word, so Qi Yang trusted her like that?If Nanping doesn't believe it, no one who comes out of the palace is unsuspecting!

In the end, Qi Yang said calmly: "Even if these are true, so what? At that time, the son-in-law and I have not yet married."
