After the morning court, most of the people who came and went on the palace road were palace people and inspecting imperial troops. Although it was spring, it was still cold. Yang Shen knelt upright on the bricks of the palace road. By an hour, his knees were painful and numb, and his face was frighteningly pale.

His kneeling naturally aroused whispers from those passing by, most of them condemning Lu Yunchuan.

"With the blood of people from northern Xinjiang, it is rude and arrogant."

"Isn't it? I heard that it was Commander Yang and Eunuch An who went to execute the Northern Xinjiang woman back then."

"This kind of person can still lead troops to fight? Maybe he will send Lingxi to Beijiang that day!"

"Who knows, it's a good thing he was recalled to the capital. If he really becomes a frontier general, how can we live a stable life?"

Suddenly there were two soft and gentle birdsongs on the palace road, and the two elderly eunuchs who were walking in front turned their heads. Lu Yunchuan was standing in front of Yang Shen with a birdcage, looking at the two of them with a piercing smile.

The faces of the two were instantly pale.

Lu Yunchuan has never been a man who can suffer from boredom, his appearance is already handsome and fierce, but when he has a cold face, it is even more frightening, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is vicious.

He first walked up to the two internal judges, and said with a smile: "Anxi has been honestly going back to the mansion, you two are quite courageous."

Both of them were weak, and immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Lord Lu, I know my mistake! I know my mistake!"

Lu Yunchuan watched the two of them kowtow in silence until he saw red on the ground, then said coldly: "Get out."

The two of them stumbled away as if they had been pardoned.

Lu Yunchuan hooked the birdcage and turned around, condescendingly looking down at the scholar who could hardly hold on anymore.

"Ha." Yang Shen also turned pale, laughed hoarsely, and mocked: "The bastard with northern Xinjiang blood in his body."

Lu Yunchuan also laughed, his lips moved slightly, and he said two words: "Trash."

Yang Shen was taken aback, and said angrily, "What did you say?"

"I say you are trash." Lu Yunchuan repeated in good faith, not giving him a chance to speak, and said to himself: "You are really capable, you should come and fight with me, so as to avenge your trash father, not—"

He looked contemptuously, paused, and continued: "Kneel here softly and weakly, begging others to decide."

Lu Yunchuan still looked at his posture of a scholar who was about to faint after kneeling for a while, and felt that it was boring for a while, so he turned around and left.

Yang Shen was stabbed by his contempt, Naihe knelt down for a long time and became dizzy, but it was a little late, just as he was about to speak, he found that Lu Yunchuan had already gone far away, his eyes were red with anger, he couldn't kneel for a while, and fell to the seat On the ground, he cursed hysterically from behind: "Bastard! You are not from Liang! Your mother is the daughter of a Beijiang dog, and both your mother and son are bereaved dogs! How dare you play prestige in my Liang!"

"So what if she's dead? Why should someone pay for her life?! She deserves it! She died in Daliang, dirtying Daliang's land!"

He cursed a few times and was almost speechless. He sat on the ground and coughed dryly. After coughing for a long time, he was suddenly shrouded in a shadow.

Yang Shen raised his head, and Lu Yunchuan was standing in front of him with a birdcage in his hands, his eyes were like an endless abyss, but he was calm.

In contrast, he looked even more embarrassed.

With bright contempt and disgust in Lu Yunchuan's eyes, he sneered: "Have you seen her?"

Yang Shen was taken aback.

Lu Yunchuan replied by himself: "That's right, let alone my mother, you haven't even met a person from Northern Xinjiang, have you?"

Yang Shen asked, "What do you mean?"

Lu Yunchuan smiled, "You are a scholar, so I will reason with you. The two countries are at war, and the soldiers follow the military order to act. Whether it is Daliang or Beijiang, even if the soldiers are not mentioned, the people are innocent. Don't tell me the people of Beijiang Do you deserve to die? One day when I, Daliang, invade the territory of Northern Xinjiang, do I want to kill all the people in Northern Xinjiang?"

Yang Shen was speechless.

Lu Yunchuan added: "My mother is not an heir to the royal family, nor is she a civil servant or general, but an ordinary citizen. Now tell me, what crime did she commit that must be paid for with her life?"

Yang took a deep breath, and said harshly, "She is from Beijiang. People from Beijiang should die if they step into Daliang's territory!"

"There are not a few peddlers who walk across the Great Liang and Northern Borders." Lu Yunchuan said indifferently, "Everyone deserves to die?"

Yang Shen broke out in cold sweat under his aggressive questioning, his face turned paler, his chapped lips moved a few times, but he didn't speak.

Lu Yunchuan was still full of words to stop him, but in the end he only said one sentence: "After reading the sage books for so long, don't you know that it is only right and proper to pay back the debt?"

After speaking, he turned around again, and this time he didn't come back.

Little did he know that not long after he left, Yang Shen knelt on the palace road and passed out.

-

Ever since the emperor was injured, he stayed in the Qihua Palace. Anxi hadn't entered the palace for several days. Ban Zhao is eating.

The burn was not easy to heal, and the pain became more severe as the days passed, Ming Wanzhao still couldn't get out of bed, so he set a small table on the couch for dinner, and set out a few light and delicate dishes.

Seeing Lu Yunchuan coming in with the birdcage, Ming Wanzhao's eyes lit up, and he called out crisply, "Brother Lu!"

"En." Lu Yunchuan answered him, thinking that the voice sounded quite nice.

His throat healed quickly, and his voice has returned to its original tone in the past two days, the voice is like broken jade, clear and pleasant.

The hibiscus cage was placed aside, and inside it were two small sparrows huddling together quietly, two fat, round balls of fluff.Lu Yunchuan pointed and said, "Pearl Bird, Your Majesty accepts it?"

After he finished speaking, he saw Ming Wanzhao was in a daze for a moment, and asked, "Pearl bird?"

Lu Yunchuan frowned.

This reaction is too flat, do you not like it?

Just at this moment, there was a gentle and clear chirping sound from inside the hibiscus cage.

Only then did Ming Wanzhao stare blankly at the hibiscus birdcage.

Lu Yunchuan suddenly understood what was going on, held his breath suddenly, and immediately showed annoyance.

The little emperor couldn't see clearly.

He thought that the birds were common things, so no one would be unaware of them, but this pair was extremely cute, so he thought about sending this child who rarely even stepped out of the palace door to make him happy, but he forgot, the little emperor saw unclear.

He probably hasn't seen the bird clearly, so he doesn't know what the bird in the cage looks like, and he can't tell if it's cute or not.

If the pearl bird hadn't called just now, Ming Wanzhao might not have noticed the bird in the cage. In his eyes, there is no difference between the sparrow under the eaves and the pearl bird in this cage.

Lu Yunchuan fell silent, but heard the little emperor say softly and with some surprise: "Is it the pearl bird calling? It sounds good."
