The queen mother fell to the ground in embarrassment, and took two breaths with a smile.

"You guys, you really are cheating on me."

"It shouldn't be 'you', this is the minister's idea. Right, Your Majesty?"

A gentle voice sounded in the crowd.

Wrapped in white fox fur, wearing a veiled hat, holding a stove, Lou Qingyan walked out of the crowd in a winter attire.

Lu Yu said very modestly in front of his family members: "Indeed. I have a deep relationship with the Empress Dowager, and I will never doubt the Empress Dowager. The shaman told me before that the haunting of the imperial tomb was because the late emperor died without peace. Fortunately, I blamed him. No Thinking about it, the truth will eventually be punished."

The queen mother stared at the two of them singing together, and almost laughed angrily. She stretched out a trembling hand and pointed at Lu Yu's nose: "You, you couple...who are you singing together here for?"

"Queen mother, what are you talking about?" Lu Yu's face suddenly dropped, "What's the matter between me and the witch?"

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the clan members.

As soon as the clansmen were caught by his gaze, they quickly made an unreasonable look, as if they didn't know what the queen mother was referring to.

"You... you... Aijia just got scared and said nothing."

The elders of the clan came out and shouted sharply: "The death of the first emperor is full of mysteries, how can you just let it go without your business?"

The Empress Dowager propped her hands on the ground feebly, trembling all over, and her teeth were clenching.

Lou Qingyan added insult to injury: "Queen Mother, do you know why you saw and heard that just now?"

The Empress Dowager didn't speak, she just rolled her eyes and looked at him from below.

Lou Qingyan took out a kit from his pocket, and pulled out a handkerchief from it: "The cause of the late emperor's death was long-term use of the elixir mixed with fishy fern. And the ashes of your incense burner are also mixed with fishy The end of the fern. When the ash from the incense falls into the ash below, the fern releases gas when heated. The gas is masked by the smell of burning incense."

The word "fishy fern" seemed to touch the Queen Mother's nerves.

Lou Qingyan continued: "The medicinal properties of the fishy fern are very special. It will cause the user to have exaggerated feelings about things, and the mind will be in a trance, and the general medicine for purifying the heart will not work against it. Therefore, you chose it back then, regardless of whether the emperor drank it later. No matter how many heat-clearing decoctions I have taken, it will not help."

The corners of his mouth curled up under the black veil: "Now, it's a double payment."

Lu Yu answered at the right time, "As expected of a shaman, such details will not be overlooked. I believe that the late emperor has knowledge, so he must rest in peace."

Lou Qingyan frowned.

Is he still playing well?

At this time, all the hidden guard masters who played the role of the late emperor took off their disguises and appeared on the sidelines.

When the Queen Mother saw them, her fingers trembled.On a well-maintained face, the only few lines seemed to have collapsed all of a sudden, making her face seem to be full of ravines.

Lu Yu said: "Dear clansmen, according to the rules, the queen mother... oh, no, the Wang family is under arrest."

"That's natural."

The guards of the forbidden army came out in a file, and they set up Wang's family to leave.

When Mrs. Wang was dragged down, it was as if a ghost had been strangled by the neck, and she shouted: "You two bastards, you have evil intentions! Your throne is not in the right place, where is the bastard, confusing the royal blood!"

The clan members seemed to have been fired, and they panicked: "Your Majesty, don't listen to the nonsense of this seductress. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, admired by all people, and he is orthodox."

Lu Yu had a warm expression: "Of course I understand."

Amidst the clamor of Wang's "dog man man", this farce finally came to an end.

The clan watched her being dragged away.

At the front of the crowd, Lou Qingyan, who was wearing a black veiled cap and snow-white fox fur, stood side by side with Lu Yu, who was wearing a dragon robe.

Although no one cared about the Queen Mother's roar, those words still inevitably fell into Lou Qingyan's ears.

Tsk, why did you become a dog boy just by helping him?

Under the black veil, Lou Qingyan squinted at Lu Yu with some displeasure.

Clearly separated by the black veil, Lu Yu seemed to feel his gaze, and suddenly turned to look at him.

Lou Qingyan was taken aback, and quickly moved her eyes back.

It was midnight and the lights were on.

The Clan Mansion resumed the case of the cause of death of the late emperor and empress.

The queen mother was deprived of her honor and was strictly guarded by the clan mansion.

The clan mansion at this time is different from that of three years ago.Everyone in the court knows that the emperor is the backbone of Great Xia.Naturally, these clan members also knew.

In the past few years, under the interweaving of sticks and honey, although the clan's mansion still maintained its independent appearance, it was obviously biased towards the emperor.

Lou Qingyan filed a lawsuit against the Wang family in the capacity of a shaman, and then the Clan House will handle it.

From the beginning to the end, the emperor was just "unbelievable" and "deeply grieved".

They returned to the capital.Lou Qingyan also lived in the courtyard arranged by Lu Yu, went to court on time, went home after court, and lived a long-lost and stable life.

Three days later, when the morning court left, Eunuch Zhang De left Lou Qingyan behind, saying that it was the emperor's favor.

Lou Qingyan followed him to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and found that Lu Yu's condition was worse than he thought.

Originally, Lu Yu should have been relieved of a worry, but he seemed to be even more depressed.

Lou Qingyan's health was almost healed. Wearing thin court clothes, she walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation and closed the door.

"Are you thinking about your mother?"

"Yes." Lu Yu sighed, "Convict the Wang family for murdering the first emperor and the empress Yuan. But no one can be responsible for the death of my mother and concubine."

Lou Qingyan remained silent.

Back then, it was the Empress Yuan who first proposed to use elixir to control the mind of the late emperor, and it was also the empress Yuan who ordered the emperor to kill Yu's concubine.Both the first emperor and the empress Yuan were the murderers who killed Yu concubine.

The Wang family knew from beginning to end.She was Empress Yuan's follower, watched them push Concubine Yu to death, and then she was the oriole catching mantises.

Back then, it was the first emperor who personally ordered.Lu Yu couldn't seek revenge for his mother and concubine. At most, he could only punish the Wang family who had been watching from the sidelines and planning for himself from the beginning to the end. The first emperor and empress Yuan were actually victims.

Lu Yu laughed mockingly: "Thinking about it this way, the Wang family who killed the late emperor and empress also avenged his mother and concubine."

"She is the pusher of indifference, and she needs to pay the price. The sinners back then could not be judged, but what you can do, you have done well." Lou Qingyan said softly, walking to his side.

Lu Yu took a deep breath and rubbed his brows, as if trying to get rid of that displeasure.

"Two days ago, I asked you to stay, but you didn't want to come. Why are you here today?"

"Then it's time for me to ask for my reward." Lou Qingyan said with a smile, "Your Majesty won't forget your promise?"

Lu Yu's back stiffened, and he squinted at Lou Qingyan: "You...brother, it's not time yet."

He changed the title at once, which added a little more intimacy.

Lou Qingyan folded her arms and leaned on the table: "My people have already arrived in the capital, and the accounts and permits for all trades can be transferred. Why didn't it come?"

"This matter is not over yet." Lu Yu stood up and walked to Lou Qingyan, "After Mrs. Wang is punished and all the chapters are completed, I will naturally fulfill my promise."

Lou Qingyan folded her arms and glanced at him: "Your Majesty, I understand one truth."

"what?"

"When someone wants to shirk the reward, no amount of waiting is in vain, because he never intends to honor it from the beginning to the end."

Lu Yu quickly said: "It's not that I don't want to honor it. It's just..."

He leaned over to Lou Qingyan's side, causing the latter's back to shudder, thinking of many things, and quietly moved to the side.

Then he was surrounded by people.

Lou Qingyan: "..."

Lu Yu whispered in his ear: "If this deal is over, will senior brother leave?"

"That's natural."

"But I don't want senior brother to leave." Lu Yu's eyes were shining brightly, like a harmless little beast begging for the mercy of the elders.

No matter how mature his aura is, he can always restrain it in a timely manner. In front of Lou Qingyan, he seems to be able to transform into the soft little junior in his memory at any moment.

"I lost my mother since I was a child. Before my brother took me up the mountain, I never knew what warmth is like. Now even my brother doesn't want me anymore."

Lou Qingyan is not someone who can fall twice in the same pit: "Your Majesty respects himself."

Heh, this guy has been a bit of a drama addict lately.

Lu Yu: "..."

Lou Qingyan remembered clearly the last time she fell in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, got up, straightened her clothes, then waved her sleeves, and saluted: "Your Majesty, Chenyuan, can fulfill his promise as soon as possible and let me leave."

Lu foresees him gnashing his teeth itchy.

Lou Qingyan really knows where his weaknesses are.

A smile subconsciously appeared on Lou Qingyan's face.

Suddenly, Lu Yu's voice lost his breath.

"Ok."

Lou Qingyan looked up and saw him tilting his head to look at himself, with a sharp jaw line.

"Now that the transaction is over, you are no longer a witch."

Lou Qingyan's ears buzzed.

He knew what Lu Yu was up to.

Lou Qingyan jumped, wanting to jump to the door.

However, Lu Yu moved one step faster than him, grabbed Lou Qingyan's sleeve robe, and pulled him into his arms.

"Since you are not a witch, you and I are not monarchs or ministers."

His eyes shone brightly, and he put his chin on Lou Qingyan's shoulder with a light smile: "Since that's the case... I can put my thoughts on Senior Brother on the table, can't I?"

Lou Qingyan: "..."

No, it is absolutely impossible to continue like this.

He said righteously: "I do things for Your Majesty, there will always be an end, whether it is today or in the future. Is Your Majesty still waiting for that day to come and arrest you?"

"Can't you?"

Now it was Lou Qingyan's turn to grit her teeth.

"no……"

Lu Yu looked innocent: "Now, is the shaman still planning to take the reward and leave immediately?"

He is threatening Lou Qingyan!As long as Lou Qingyan said "no longer be a shaman", then the two of them would no longer be monarchs and ministers, and Lou Qingyan's previous method of dealing with Lu Yu would not be effective.

Lou Qingyan's words came out word by word through the gap between his teeth: "The reward is always to be collected..."

He felt something wrong with one hand.

The words continued: "I don't necessarily want to be a shaman."

Hands settled down.

Lu Yu let go of him, with a triumphant expression on his face: "In this case, I will take care of the handover. Prime Minister Wu, the next government affairs, please."

Lou Qingyan felt that he was seeking skin from a tiger, and this tiger was going to eat him alive anytime, anywhere, as if it wasn't Lu Yu who plotted against him before.

No, maybe Lu Yu's plan was to figure him out before swallowing him alive.

Lou Qingyan hurriedly took a few steps back: "Since it's settled, then I will leave."

"Wait." Lu Yu suddenly said, "Can you accompany me to a place?"

The two came to the other courtyard of the clan mansion where Wang was detained.

After all, she used to be a queen and queen mother, and the clan's house didn't treat her harshly, but for Lu Yu's sake, she didn't make it too easy.

"Why did you come? Actually, you don't have to." Lou Qingyan was beside Lu Yu, puzzled.

Lu Yu said: "She has been clamoring to see me. It just so happens that I have something to ask her, so I came here."

Lou Qingyan followed Lu Yu into the room where Wang was detained.

Wang was extremely haggard, but her bun and clothes were clean. Presumably, after the short-term effect of using the fishy fern, she returned to the original proud and self-sufficient state.

The guard opened the door for the two of them.When she heard the movement, she raised her head directly and sneered at the landing officer.

"If you have something to say, you might as well talk it out." Lu Yu said coldly, "I'm so sad, I think I won't talk too much with my queen."

Wang expected him to be in this state, took a deep breath, and said again: "All the witnesses, physical evidence, and testimony?"

"What does the empress mean?" Lu Yu said, "Since you are here, everything must be covered."

Wang turned her head and stared at him viciously: "When did you take that kit?"

"Of course the queen mother accidentally dropped it."

"Accidentally." Wang laughed, "Forget it, I lose if I lose. I've always wanted to see you, do you know why?"

"I'm not curious."

Mrs. Wang continued on her own: "The brocade pouch was a personal item of the late emperor, and he valued this brocade pouch very much before his death. When I packed up the relics, I also kept it. But when I first When I opened the brocade pouch once, I never thought that there was only a handkerchief inside. The late emperor regarded this brocade pouch as such a precious thing, and it was because of the handkerchief."

Lu Yu narrowed his eyes.

Wang's voice was a bit vicissitudes, as if thinking of the events of the past, she was extremely emotional: "Do you know, whose handkerchief is this?"

Lou Qingyan strode up: "Stop talking!"

Lu Yu stopped him.

"It was for my concubine! Your mother embroidered it for him! The late emperor still loved your mother until his death, but he would kill your mother in order to seek 'longevity' and listen to the Taoist priest, but he regretted it afterwards!"

"The two of them are really a perfect match. One is a cheap man who trusts this man with all his heart, and the other is hypocritical and selfish and contradictory!"

Wang looked at Lu Yu with a smile.

"You can kill me."

But I'm heartbroken.

Lu Yu calmly returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, as if he didn't hear Wang's words.

When parting, Lu Yu just said: "She is agitating me or forcibly inserting the judgment of the clan mansion. If she does this, my previous arrangement will be ruined. I will not take what she said to heart, Chen Years ago, I don’t remember either.”

In the next few days, Lu Yu's condition was normal when he went up and down.Lou Qingyan also gradually thought that he really let go.

Lou Qingyan should have been worried about him, but these past few days, Lou Qingyan was too busy to take care of himself and didn't take these things to heart.

The core of Beixing Pavilion has arrived at Xia Guoming's capital, and Lou Qingyan is about to start the business layout on Xia Guoming's face.

Lou Qingyan first set up some stores and yards in the capital for his people to settle down.

He did it generously, and he didn't mean to hide it from Lu Yu at all. Instead, he seemed to be urging Lu Yu to fulfill his promise quickly.

Half of the people who came this time were people in charge of business, and the other half were pure bloods who were in charge of guards.

On the first day Lin Xuehe settled down, he broke into Lou Qingyan's yard, forcefully forcing Lou Qingyan to be unable to move in the yard.

"No...you can report slowly, I'm not in a hurry..."

Lin Xuehe hurriedly put down the package, and took out a scroll from it: "No, these things must be signed by the pavilion master."

"Didn't I agree with you last time?"

"The rules cannot be broken." Lin Xuehe is meticulous in doing things, "Also, this is the entrustment fee secretly entrusted to us by the Rongguo royal family. There is a lot of resistance. The Executive Hall has already taken actions nearby to show our attitude. The rest of the commissions and goods have all been recorded."

"Okay, okay..." Lou Qingyan supported his forehead, "Speak slowly, we can deal with it slowly."

Lin Xuehe threw a pile of documents behind him in front of him blankly: "Come on, 'slowly' deal with it."

Lou Qingyan: "..."
