Chapter 195: Lu Shui enters the temple

What Lu Yun said was naturally the "fornication" that happened the day before yesterday.

Qingqing looked at Lu Yun, smiled, and said, "It's not easy to come here, why are you talking about those things." Let's talk about you, has the emperor gone to your palace to stay overnight?

As soon as he heard this, Lu Yun was so ashamed that his face was flushed, he didn't dare to look at people, and hurriedly said: Sister, don't make fun of me anymore. Besides, what does it matter if the emperor goes up or not? I don't care.

Hearing this, Qingqing stopped saying that, and instead said: Has your brother come to you recently?

Lu Yun nodded and said, "It was a few days ago.

Qingqing said: I have something to ask him, if he goes to look for you, you will let him come to me.

Lu Yundao: Okay. If there is something urgent, I will ask the girl to go out and pass a message to my brother, and he will enter the palace immediately.

Qingqing smiled and said: This is very good.

The girl Lu Yun said was the palace maid who served her, and her rank was higher than that of the ordinary rough palace maid, just like Qi Xuan of Luanjiao Palace. Most of the affairs of Yiju Pavilion have to ask the girl, Lu Yun trusts her very much, and she also said a lot when she let Lu Yun and Luan Jiaodian walk around at the beginning. When Lu Shui came, he explained to the girl more about everything, and when he came and went, he naturally knew how to spread the word.

Sure enough, until the next day.

Already downward, Lu Shui entered the harem in official uniforms, first went to Yiju Pavilion, and after asking for clarification, he rushed to Luanjiao Palace. When Lord Wen Lu came, Qingqing was still having breakfast. Qi Xuan led Lu Shui into the hall to wait, and Dye Zhi came to spread the word and waited for Qingqing to pass.

From the right side of the hall through the bead curtain, through the hall, to the left side to the resting place. Lu Shui was standing at the round table under the window behind the curtain.

Qingqing looked at it with a slight smile. Lu Shui heard the footsteps, turned his head to look, and saw Qingqing walking in, his heart shook, thinking about etiquette, he knelt down and asked for Andao: Weichen to Niangniang, Niangniang Wan'an.

When they got closer, Qingqing smiled and said, "My lord, please get up."

Lu Shui got up, and the two looked at each other and smiled. Qingqing said: I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?

Lu Shuidao: Okay.

The two sat down separately, and Qi Xuan served tea from a distance.

Qingqing said: I asked you to come today because I want to ask you something.

Lu Shui asked, "What's the matter?"

Qingqing said: Were the guards of the harem personally selected by you?

Lu Shuidao: Not all of them were chosen by me, and there were naturally those who entered the harem by relying on relationships.

Hearing this, Qingqing suddenly thought of Chengli, and couldn't help laughing: Chengli is not one of them.

Lu Shui smiled slightly and said: He is your person, and he is my person. Let him enter the palace, which can be regarded as my personal choice.

This sounds like a little overthink. But Qingqing didn't think so, she just trusted Lu Shui more, and that's it. I saw her smile more and more gentle, her eyes were clear and bright, and she said: With you, I am much more relieved.

Then he said, "That's right." Father, mother, are they okay?

Lu Shui hurriedly regained his mind and replied: Uncle and aunt are all right. I went there the other day and everything was fine.

Qingqing said: That's fine.

Then he said: Then again, do you know a person named 'Liu Yue'?

Lu Shui thought for a while and said: There is indeed such a person.

Qingqing asked again: Is he the person you personally selected?

Lu Shuidao: No. He was recommended to me by Prime Minister Du Cheng and let him enter the palace as the Imperial Forest Army.

Qingqing said: Then this 'Liu Yue' should be regarded as Prime Minister Du Cheng's person.

Lu Shuidao: That's true. When he first entered the palace, he was only asked to guard the imperial garden, and when the time came, he patrolled around along the route. He didn't dare to let him walk around in the other palaces. Anyway, how did you know about this person?

Qingqing smiled coldly and said: This person has a good future, and now he has entered this Luanjiao Palace, and he has also harmed a girl in my palace.

Lu Shui asked: What's going on?

Qingqing said: He tricked the girl into the back garden for fornication.

Lu Shui was taken aback and asked, "Then, what did you do?"

Qingqing picked up the tea, touched the tea lid and the edge of the tea, looked up at Lu Shui, and saw that he still had a worried look, staring at him. She laughed and said, "What can I do?"

When Lu Shui heard this, his expression was relieved, and when he saw Qingqing's funny appearance, he laughed unconsciously, and said: Qing'er, you are really worrying!

"Qing'er" is not something that ordinary people can call. Fortunately, there were two girls in the room who accompanied them, and they were Qingqing's close confidants, so they didn't care when they heard it.

Qingqing didn't care how to call her, just listened to her say: They are in the Criminal Division, but I don't think it's that simple, when I saw the guard, he was not afraid, even if 'fornication' is a capital crime, it seems to him that he doesn't care at all, which is strange.

Lu Shui listened and said: Do you think he did it on purpose?

Qingqing nodded.

Seeing this, Lu Shui thought carefully and said: Since this is the case, then I must personally choose the guards of this harem. As for that person, when I find out the details, I'll talk to you about it.

Qingqing nodded. smiled again and said: I often chat with Lu Yun, and when she talks about you, she always smiles and looks happy. Now that I look at you again, I feel like her.

Lu Shui showed a hint of a smile, and said as he got up: That's fine.

After speaking, he saluted and said: Weichen retired first.

After getting up, Lu Shui glanced at Qingqing again before turning around and leaving.

Lu Shui returned to the house to investigate, Liu Yue was a distant relative of Prime Minister Du Cheng, and sent him to the emperor's harem, which was to install an eyeliner next to the emperor. Lu Shui naturally knew this, but he didn't expect that the Du family's hands were stretched long enough, and they actually sent people to Luanjiao Hall to take up their posts. This is beyond the bottom line of Lu Shui, and it may even hurt the people he cares about.

After this incident, Lu Shui secretly decided that the guards in front and behind Luan Jiao Hall should be replaced by his cronies, and no matter what, he could not let the people of Luan Jiao Hall make a mistake.

Inside the Criminal Division.

It's hell and not yes. Torture, hard labor, whipping, verbal abuse, crying, cursing, sickness. There, life and death are up to you. They are all minions who have committed crimes, and most of them are dragged in when they annoy their masters, and palace felonies like "fornication" are not ordinary punishments.

The poor girl was whipped for several days, and the rest of the time she was dragged to work as rough laborers. Although it was difficult, it was impossible to go back to a good life when I got in, and it was fortunate that I was not killed. As for the guard, he was locked up in the torture cell for several days, hanging all day long, and all kinds of torture instruments were used on him one by one. He fainted in pain, poured some wine on the wound and woke up, and was tortured again. Day and night, the fathers-in-law in the bureau took turns and worked hard.

Just one question: Why did you 'fornicate'?
