Save the disabled male protagonist

Those little Huangmen were all people who could be used by Sima Qian's side, and they came here to obey orders.

When they saw Chu Xiao, they were overjoyed secretly. They didn't expect that Mrs. Pingnan Hou was so good-looking. When the emperor saw her, she would definitely be happy with Long Yan, and the job was well received.

Several people bowed and saluted: "Madam Hou please get on the sedan chair."

Your Majesty has an order, who can refuse?

Chu Xiao was not overwhelmed by flattery, and said flatly: "It's still early, I need to prepare."

Hearing this, the little Huangmen felt displeased, and their tone became a bit tough: "Mrs. Hou, this banquet cannot be delayed."

At this time, Lu Zhi was by the side, seeing it in his eyes, and sneered in his heart.

In the past month, Lu Zhi has also been very unhappy, so he doesn't want to trouble Chu Xiao.

Lu Zhi never thought that Zhang Yuan would reconcile with him.Although this kind of reconciliation has been happening since ancient times, it happened very rarely, not to mention that when Lu Zhi was a poor scholar, he never heard of any woman in the neighborhood insisting on reconciling with her husband!Naturally, Lu Zhi couldn't understand, he was now the Minister of Rites, could Zhang Yuan find someone with a higher official position if he left him?

Lu Zhi only felt ashamed and refused to agree at all, but at this time he realized that his once gentle and docile wife was not someone he could rub at will, and I don't know how Zhang Yuan persuaded the Zhang family, Lu Zhi could only Forced to agree.

And seeing these little yellow gates greet Chu Xiao in person just now, Lu Zhi was very jealous.As a fourth-rank official, although Lu Zhi is eligible to participate, the banquet seats are at the bottom, let alone this honor.

But after seeing this scene now, why doesn't Lu Zhi understand?

It is well known that Sima Qian is very attractive, especially men. Now that Sima Qian specially sent someone to bring Chu Xiao into the palace, the intention couldn't be more obvious.

Lu Zhi finally understood what Eunuch Gao's warning meant that day.

It seemed that his nephew was really pitiful, he was already in poor health, so he might die from anger.

Lu Zhi thought maliciously in his heart, but he also felt a little strange that there was still no news from the main courtyard in this month, and Lu Yuanming was quite able to hold on.

So Lu Zhi persuaded from the side: "Nephew, Your Majesty's kindness is so great, don't hesitate to thank him."

Hearing Lu Zhi's words, the little Huangmen couldn't help but feel a little proud. They helped His Majesty with errands. When did people not please them in every possible way when they saw them?

Although I went to the high gate of the Hou Mansion this time, so what?I had heard that Pingnan Hou Lu Yuanming had been sick for many days, so this Chu Xiao was just a Mrs. Hou in name only.

No, the Minister of Rites is all helping.

The corners of Chu Xiao's lips curved into a smile that was not a smile. In fact, just now, Chu Xiao felt that there was something weird in it, and now he is a little more certain.

He was born to be extremely beautiful, his lips were naturally thin red, and when he looked at people with cold eyes, the tails of his eyes were slightly raised, showing a breathtaking vigor.

Thinking of how many times he had been deflated before, Lu Zhi became a little flustered in an instant.

Chu Xiao also opened his mouth. His voice was naturally as cold as ice springs and flowing water, but he was dressed in a fine attire and a high crown, and he had a gorgeous voice: "As a junior, how dare I go to the banquet ahead of my second uncle? Since Second Uncle yearns for it so much, how about giving this opportunity to Second Uncle?"

Upon hearing this, the complexions of the little Huangmen changed, and they couldn't help but give Lu Zhi a hard look, secretly blaming Lu Zhi for his talkativeness, and if they dared to spoil His Majesty's affairs, they would also be punished accordingly.

Lu Zhi complained incessantly, hating and fearing Chu Xiao, he immediately apologized and said with a smile: "Don't blame my niece, this is just a joke."

And in this way, everyone knew that Chu Xiao was not easy to mess with, so they had to compromise and let Chu Xiao prepare for a while.

Chu Xiao went back to the room and waited for Lu Yuanming, but there was no one there. Seeing that there was no longer any delay, several small yellow doors were about to break into the inner courtyard, and Chu Xiao showed up.

Seeing Chu Xiao finally walk out, the little Huangmen heaved a sigh of relief, feeling a lot relieved.Even if Chu Xiao guessed something, so what if he was unwilling?With such a dying husband, naturally it is important to find someone to rely on!

Several people couldn't help urging: "Madam Hou, time is running out, please get on the sedan chair."

Of course, what Sima Qian had ordered before was just to ask them to bring Chu Xiao ahead of time. Although the time was a bit late, it would be fine as long as it was earlier than the Qianqiu Banquet.

Therefore, the little yellow gates were not in such a hurry, seeing that the matter was about to be done properly, they were all smiles.

However, at this moment, I suddenly heard an extremely cold and stern voice from the main courtyard of the Marquis Mansion behind him, resounding across the floor, sharp as a knife: "He is Mrs. Ben Hou, and I am accompanied by Ben Marquis, why should I enter the palace alone?"

As soon as these words came out, it was no less than a sudden thunder on the ground. Everyone looked back in horror, only to see that the door of the palace that had been closed just now was easily pushed open by a person.

And who is that tall, tall and heroic figure if it's not Lu Yuanming?I saw him wearing a black robe, his face was cold, and his eyes were still covered with a thin layer of shadows, how could he not be afraid?

Lu Yuanming is in good health!

The little Huangmen trembled in fright. They had indeed slandered Pingnanhou in their hearts before, but if Lu Yuanming was in good health, how could they dare to think so?

Who doesn't know how brave and unparalleled Lu Yuanming is. He went to the battlefield at the age of 13 and spent time in the military camp since he was a child. He knows a little about [-] kinds of martial arts.

They are not good enough to chop vegetables in front of such a big killing god.

Seeing those people running away without looking back, Chu Xiao raised his eyebrows and walked towards Lu Yuanming.

Lu Yuanming had a cold face and a cold heart just now, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

During this period of time, Lu Yuanming has been busy in Yicheng without touching the ground, but he has never forgotten the agreement with Chu Xiao. Who knows that he came back this time, hurriedly and slowly, but he was almost a step late.

Lu Yuanming couldn't imagine what would happen if Chu Xiao didn't wait for him in the end?Thinking of this, Lu Yuanming felt boundless anger.

But when Chu Xiao looked back, only the distant and blurred outline of that person remained in Lu Yuanming's eyes.

He came slowly, walking towards him.

In his dark and silent world, lines are drawn, ink is splashed, and colors are embellished.

Lu Yuanming just looked at him intently, nothing else was more important than this moment.

Chu Xiao also looked at Lu Yuanming. A month ago, the other party went to Yicheng, and he just came back now.

Transportation was inconvenient in ancient times, and Lu Yuanming was doing secret things. There was no news about him. Chu Xiao had no way of knowing what the other party was doing these days, and he didn't know what happened to him recently.

So Chu Xiao could only use his eyes to observe, and he found that Lu Yuanming, who had grown better a month ago, looked a little different, the line of his jaw was sharper, and the flesh on his face was sunken.

But it looks like it is shining brightly, in high spirits, and has a charm that people can't take their eyes off.

When Chu Xiao walked to his side, he couldn't help showing a chuckle: "Master Hou, you seem to have lost weight."

Before he had time to say anything else, Lu Yuanming hugged him directly in the next second.

Lu Yuanming embraced the person in front of him with his long arms. He lowered his head, greedily and frantically sniffing the fragrance in the other person's hair. There was no smell of rouge, only the cool fragrance of the other person remained, which relieved his terminally ill addiction .

These days, he misses the person in front of him, his wife, all the time.

But being hugged suddenly, Chu Xiao was only surprised for a moment, with a smile in his eyes, and when he hugged the young man back, he also tightened his arms.

After a while, Chu Xiao helplessly pushed Lu Yuanming who had been buried in his neck: "Master Hou, look at my clothes."

Only then did Lu Yuanming look down, feeling guilty all of a sudden. He has been rushing to the capital for the past few days. Although he has rested at the post station, his clothes are too late to change. The black cloak does not look dirty, but it is already dusty. Fluttering, all of Chu Xiao's new clothes were stained.

When he realized this, Lu Yuanming realized in an instant that he might still smell of sweat...

Lu Yuanming's ears immediately turned red. Although he has made a lot of embarrassments in front of Chu Xiao these days, he has never been as embarrassed as he is now.

Hearing Chu Xiao's brisk laughter, while Lu Yuanming was furious, his heart was throbbing...

Although this Qianqiu Banquet is held for the first time, the people in the palace have the experience of the previous dynasty, and they got busy early a month ago. monthly money.

Such a big ostentation not only fits the meaning of Qianqiu Banquet, but also coincides with the emperor's heart.

For this grand event, the Ministry of Internal Affairs allocated almost most of the funds from the already insufficient treasury, all of which were used for the Qianqiu Banquet.

In fact, it is very unwise to spend such a large amount of money, but no one wants to ruin the emperor's happiness, and dare to persuade the emperor at this juncture.

In addition, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has also done a lot of calculations, knowing that many people will come to present gifts today, and when the time comes, they will receive one by one, and the treasury will be filled again?

As a result, almost everyone at the Qianqiu Banquet was full of joy, and came and went with smiles.

When several little yellow gates walked towards the hall where Sima Qian was in panic, how could they not attract people's attention?

At this time Sima Qian was flipping through the post on the table, it was a secret letter sent by King Yu Sima Chong not long ago.

Before he knew it, Sima Chong had gone to Yicheng to investigate the case for a month. During this period, Sima Chong would send him a secret letter every ten days, reporting the situation in the past few days.

Because Yicheng is [-] miles away from here, and it is going to be sent secretly, not as fast as the urgent military report, Sima Qian knew in his heart that this letter was written by Sima Chong at least a week ago.

Sima Qian still had some things to do, but after seeing the secret letter, he couldn't care about other things, after all, the business was important.

When unfolding the letter, Sima Qian's brows were tightly wrinkled, and there was a glint of predation in his eyes, which seemed to be angry.

Seeing this scene, several palace people nearby trembled in their hearts, and Gao Dehuai, who was waiting by the side, secretly thought that something was wrong.

Fortunately, Sima Qian calmed down after a while. He threw the letter on the table and said coldly, "What a Xiao An!"

Hearing Xiao An's name suddenly, Gao Dehuai felt a chill down his spine.

These days, the Prime Minister Xiao An and others have been at odds with the emperor, and they are pressing every step of the way. They are not as gentle as before. They want Sima Qian to restore the system of aristocratic ministers as soon as possible. problem.

Because of Xiao An, Sima Qian treated Empress Xiao Wei coldly, and even Sima Yuan, who had already been crowned prince, didn't want to see him anymore.

Not only that, Sima Qian also pretended to support the eldest prince Sima Cheng, but Lou Mingyu, who was once Sima Qian's original partner, did not cooperate at all, saying that Sima Cheng had no other ambitions and only wanted to be a virtuous king in the future.

However, Sima Qian was already ashamed of Lou Mingyu, and he couldn't stop Youyou's mouth, so he could only give him this grace.

Now Sima Qian and Xiao Wei are divorced, but they can't find a second more suitable prince. After all, the youngest Sima Hui is only ten years old, and his mother's family has no influence, and the others are even more inappropriate.

Sima Qian has been worrying about this recently, if Xiao An gets involved in this military investigation, the consequences can be imagined.

Gao Dehuai said cautiously: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

Sima Qian looked worried, and said coldly: "I want to save Wu Rui's life, but Xiao An is good, and wants to fight me!"

Gao Dehuai hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, His Royal Highness Prince Yu has always been alert, and he will definitely not disappoint His Majesty."

Hearing this, Sima Qian's face looked a little better.

Just now, when he saw what Sima Chong wrote in the secret compromise, he was furious for a while, but he calmed down quickly. No matter how long Xiao An stretched his hand, he couldn't control the overall situation in Yicheng.After all, Sima Chong was a prince, with him around, nothing could go wrong.

After Li Ziqiu checked, the only person who could push it out was Hu Yue.

Immediately afterwards, Sima Qian looked down and saw that Sima Chong really mentioned Hu Yue, but Sima Chong said that Hu Yue was not an unforgivable person, so it would be better to let him die instead.

Sima Qian knew Sima Chong's temperament very well, and he knew that Hu Yue must have offered Sima Chong a lot of good things.

Sima Qian pampered this little brother, so he laughed and cursed a few words, and then closed the secret letter.

Seeing that Sima Qian finally calmed down, Gao Dehuai just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard some voices coming from outside.

Thinking of what he ordered those little yellow gates to do before, Gao Dehuai said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Hou should have arrived."

Upon hearing this, Sima Qian's eyes lit up. Gao Dehuai specifically mentioned Chu Xiao's beauty after returning to the palace.

It's a pity that during this period of time, Sima Qian was involved in many things, and besides, Chu Xiao was no more than an ordinary person, she was Lu Yuanming's wife, no matter how much Sima Qian liked beauty, he would not be able to take the wife of a minister in broad daylight.

But the Qianqiu Banquet was different, there was an upright reason for bringing Chu Xiao into the palace, and Sima Qian wanted to see what kind of beauty Gao Dehuai praised repeatedly.

However, only a few panicked little yellow doors came in.

As soon as those little yellow gates entered the palace, facing the emperor's gloomy expression, they hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Marquis Pingnan is well now!"

Sima Qian's heart tightened, and the first reaction was Lu Tong, who almost dropped the secret letter in his hand.But when he came back to his senses, he remembered that it was Lu Yuanming who was not doing well.

However, Sima Qian had the demeanor of an emperor, he slapped the royal table and said, "Say, what's going on?"

Several people stumbled out what happened just now.

In fact, those people only had a face-to-face meeting with Lu Yuanming, and the specific situation is still unclear. We only know that Lu Yuanming is now able to get up and walk, but as for other things, it is unknown.

At this time, Sima Qian was relieved when he heard that Lu Yuanming still had white cloud in his eyes, which proved that he was still blind.

He originally suspected that Lu Yuanming might be pretending to be sick these days, but even if it was true, what could a blind man do?

Interrupted by this, Sima Qian didn't think about other things anymore. After a while, the Qianqiu Banquet will start, and it won't be too late to watch it then.

This Qianqiu banquet has been carefully prepared for such a long time, and countless money was spent, so it is natural to do it with the utmost luxury.

The banquet is also divided into inside and outside, inside and outside the hall, are all the princes and nobles in the capital, civil and military officials and their relatives.

Bright lights are shining everywhere, palace flowers and ribbons are everywhere, the dark fragrance is floating in the hall, and the fragrance of clothes and shadows on the temples are full of decadent sounds.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a eunuch singing outside the hall: "Pingnanhou, Mrs. Pingnanhou is here."

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall suddenly fell into silence.

Everyone looked out of the hall, wondering if they had heard something wrong.

Why did Pingnan Hou Lu Yuanming come to the Qianqiu Banquet today? Is he in good health?

Prime Minister Xiao An was even more nervous and his face changed slightly.

At this time, Lu Yuanming and Chu Xiao walked into the hall holding hands together.

Just now Lu Yuanming went to take a bath again and changed his attire, that's why the two of them came late.

But who cares about that?

Lu Yuanming was wearing a black python suit, a jade belt around his waist, and a golden crown in his hair. He always wore armor, and rarely wore this kind of formal court dress, but even so, he still looked full of nobility and dominance.

The gloom in his eyes not only didn't add any flaws to him, but forced him like a blade. How could a person with ghosts in his heart dare to look at each other?

But Chu Xiao next to Lu Yuanming has a different appearance.

Everyone knows that Lu Yuanming once married a good-for-nothing man. He said that he could be happy, but in fact it was a joke. Until recently, many people heard that it was a false rumor. The truth is completely opposite ...

It wasn't until they saw it today that they realized that this was not only a misrepresentation, it was simply a big lie!

I saw that Chu Xiao was also wearing brocade clothes and a white cloak. The two of them almost complemented each other. When Chu Xiao's cool face and beautiful features were revealed, it aroused exclamations from all around.

There are such peerless and magnificent people in this world...

Wei Guogong Wei Shu also cast a glance from a distance, after staring at it for a long time, he silently moved away.

After the two of them sat down, the voices in the hall sounded again, but they were all whispers, which were much quieter than before.

Lu Yuanming seemed to have never changed, chatting with everyone he knew well as usual, but because of this, how many people were restless, and if it wasn't for the Qianqiu Banquet not being able to leave rashly, they would never have endured this torture.

And the most terrified person among them is Xiao An. The distance between him and Lu Yuanming is only a few meters. When Lu Yuanming mentioned that his eyes had recovered a lot, Xiao An felt extremely uneasy.

Suddenly hearing a sound coming from a distance, Xiao An was even more like a shadow of a bow and snake, and almost stood up, attracting the attention of others and snickering softly.

At this moment, the golden bell rang outside, and the emperor Sima Qian, the empress and others also arrived.

Sima Qian's expression was pleasant, he hadn't seen the people in the palace yet, but how could he not be overjoyed by this magnificent scene?

Sima Qian sat in the first seat, and the queen and others sat next to him in turn. Everyone seemed to have lost their previous grievances, and they seemed to be in harmony.

When Sima Qian was about to announce the official start of the Qianqiu Banquet, he casually glanced across the seats, and his eyes froze instantly.

Sima Qian really thought that Lu Yuanming would come before, but at this time, Sima Qian was still not ready, and the look of Chu Xiao next to Lu Yuanming made Sima Qian feel regretful.

Sima Qian froze for a moment, then came back to his senses, but some people still saw it.

Next, Sima Qian questioned Lu Yuanming again in public.

Lu Yuanming had already thought of an explanation. He had been recuperating for the past few months, and now he is recovering, his eyes are recovering.

Sima Qian also had a smile on his face, he was relieved, and mentioned that the military situation under investigation should have a result soon.

Afterwards, Sima Qian gave Lu Yuanming tea, which was the only one, and the eyes of the people below looked at Lu Yuanming even hotter, and there was an endless stream of people toasting.

Everyone already knew that there must be a mystery in this serious military case. Isn't it obvious?

In addition, Lu Yuanming is in good health now, and his eyes will recover in the future, so there may not be a day of comeback.

At that time, Lu Yuanming will receive the military power again, and it is very possible that he will worship the Marshal again just like his father.

Zhang He and the others couldn't help but feel a little happier, while Xiao An and the others looked even more ugly.

At this time, the Qianqiu Banquet is at its busiest time, with endless chatter, singing and dancing, full of prosperous scenes.

There were also people who came to offer treasures, one after another, and it seemed that each of them could make Sima Qian laugh.

Lu Yuanming didn't intend to drink the toasted wine glasses, he just accepted it and put it aside.

Chu Xiao thought that before, Lu Yuanming didn't seem to like drinking, so he couldn't help asking: "Master Hou, why don't you drink?"

He almost wanted to drink.

Lu Yuanming raised his eyebrows and said: "These wines are not made by them personally, but handed over by the servants, so they are called tributes. I accept them to give them face. It doesn't matter if you don't drink them yourself."

Chu Xiao suddenly raised his wine glass and touched it with Lu Yuanming, raised his lips and said, "Then how about I toast Lord Hou?"

Lu Yuanming glanced sideways, and saw that Chu Xiao was still gulping down his drink, and there was an extra layer of watery luster on his always seductive thin red lips, which was really delicious.

Lu Yuanming's Adam's apple twitched slightly, raised the wine in his glass and said softly: "Madam toasts me, of course I will do whatever I want."

After a while, when the banquet was at its busiest, an urgent report came from outside, and a servant ran in in a panic. In his haste, he accidentally stepped on his robe and fell heavily. Wrestling, attracted everyone to look over.

Sima Qian couldn't help feeling displeased, and said coldly: "What's the matter, stand up and talk about it!"

The servant hurriedly stood up and said, "Report, His Royal Highness King Yu was assassinated in Yicheng."
