Look again at the inside of the temple.

Along the way, there were palace maids who asked for an salute, and after entering the hall, they immediately went to the palace on the left.

When I entered in a blink of an eye, I saw Qingqing getting up from the kang, and there was another person on her side. Looking closely, it turned out to be Du Youlan of Chaoxiang Palace.

When the two of them saw Yu Xuan coming in, they got down from the kang and came over to salute and greet them. Yu Xuan waved his hand and said: Get up.

So saying, he sat down at the round table and said to her, "Come and sit down and eat."

Du Youlan nodded and replied with a smile: Yes.

The three of them sat down around a round table to eat. Seeing that Yu Xuan moved the chopsticks first, Du Youlan Fang picked up the chopsticks.

After lunch, Yu Xuan said that he still had state affairs to be busy, so he went back to the Qianqing Palace. Seeing that Du Youlan wanted to take a nap, it was not good to bother again, so she also went back to her Chaoxiang Palace.

Besides, the Lu Mansion is in chaos, and the dragons are leaderless.

The person who was sent out to spread the word earlier counted the little guy who was neat, and chased him out and informed Qi Shiwei of the matter. The others came back early, but they didn't get things done, but they went to the various mansions and asked, and after hearing that the adults went to the morning court, they came back.

The housekeeper calculated the time of the next dynasty, and asked the little servants to run again, and be sure to bring the words.

At this time, Lu Mansion ushered in a person, who was Qi Shiwei.

Leaving from the Qianqing Palace, leaving the palace, he first went back to the palace to change into his official clothes, and then went to the Lu Mansion after wearing his regular clothes.

After being invited into the house, the housekeeper hurriedly came to greet him and said: "It's great that Lord Qi can come!"

Qi Shiwei asked: Is everything okay in the house?

When the butler heard this, he sighed and replied: "Now the house is a mess. The lady was frightened and was lying in bed in the room before getting up, and when this happened, the young master was not nearby, and no one was in charge. The people under them can't live in peace when they do things, and the people are panicked.

After listening to the words, Qi Shiwei asked: Have you sent someone to the young master of Biansai to inform you of this?

When the housekeeper heard this, he had an epiphany and said: What Lord Qi said is that I will send someone.

Qi Shiwei listened, but stopped him and said: Don't worry, your young master will leave it to me. Now this huge Lu Mansion still needs you to be in charge, Mrs. Lu is sick and has to be taken care of, and the prime minister's future affairs must also be prepared.

The housekeeper listened and responded one by one. I will no longer ask about the affairs of land and water.

Then, Qi Shiwei and the housekeeper went to Lu Shilang's study first. The body of Lu Shilang, who was originally leaning on the Taishi's chair, had been carried by several bold subordinates to the lying bed a few steps away for a short rest, and it was covered with a white cloth.

The two approached, Qi Shiwei looked at the white cloth, and asked the housekeeper beside him: Who first found out that the prime minister was killed?

The butler replied: It's me. Because he was about to go to the morning court, he was worried that the master was still in the study and there was no one to serve, so he came to the study early in the morning.

Qi Shiwei asked again: Can you tell us about the situation at that time?

After listening to the question, the housekeeper seemed to hesitate, but still replied: The old man is sitting on the prince's chair with a sharp knife stuck in his neck.

Qi Shiwei said: What about the sharp knife?

The butler replied: No one dared to touch the body of the master, and the knife was still behind the master's neck.

Hearing this, Qi Shiwei took a few steps closer to the recliner, and when he arrived, he was lifting the white cloth.

The housekeeper suddenly said: Slow! To tell the truth, the old man's appearance is really terrifying, so Lord Qi still don't look at it.

Qi Shiwei looked at him and said, "It's okay." I am close friends with Lu Shui, and now that he is not allowed to come back from the foreign army, I can do something for him and fulfill some filial piety, which is also right. What's more, this matter is not trivial, and it is best to investigate it clearly.

When the housekeeper heard this, he had no choice but to admit and leave the study alone.

After Qi Shiwei looked at the corpse, as the housekeeper said, it was a dagger nearly a foot long, which stabbed into the back of the neck in an instant, killing him on the spot.

After coming out of the study, I saw several adults walking towards here, and I thought that the housekeeper had ordered the little servant to pass the word before coming. The few adults who came were the second-rank generals of the dynasty with whom Lu Shilang had a deep relationship.

Qi Shiwei stood in place, waiting for everyone to approach, and then took a few steps forward and said: Shi Wei has seen several adults.

As he spoke, he bowed his hand.

Seeing this, one of the generals at the head said: Lord Qi is polite. I think you're here for this.

When Qi Shiwei heard this, he naturally understood, and replied: Lu Shui is not here at the moment, since he and I are close friends, we should have done what we could.

Several adults nodded their heads when they heard this.

One of them said: A few of our old guys are also people who are about to enter the ground, and they are also powerless in this kind of thing, and now it is best to have Lord Qi to work for it.

When Qi Shiwei heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: You are humble. I should do my best to help the Lu Mansion through this difficult time.

After hearing this, the military general said: If this can be the case, there will be something to come to me in the future.

Qi Shiwei lowered his head and replied: Shi Wei is better to be respectful than to obey his fate.

Qi Shiwei, as an official of the Ministry of Rites, set up his own mansion, and he had his own decision-making to deal with the affairs of the government. From top to bottom, except for the housekeeper and the person who should be in charge, he spoke to each other one by one, explained the errand and the duty he should do, and said a lot of words in the official government, so that they couldn't understand and didn't dare to speak, but I was afraid that this adult was also afraid when he saw his face, how could he have Lu Shui's dashing state, and he didn't want to try the idea.

The top knows the rules, sets the rules for death, and the people below don't dare to slack off when they see and listen to it. For a while, it was the same as usual, and those sluts with bad intentions didn't dare to talk nonsense and stir up trouble anymore.

Even so, the matter has already come out, and there is no assertive person at the beginning, so I let those people in the house who have grown more tongues say it to the outsiders, and the people outside are good right and wrong, and they are even more gossipy, casually talking nonsense.

Inside the Chaoxiang Palace.

After returning from Luanjiao Palace, Du Youlan was about to take a nap, but Zijuan took a note from the hand of the maid of the first palace. After sending the others out, Zijuan unfolded the note, and only one line was written on it: Prime Minister Lu Cheng is dead.

After Zijuan read it, he immediately handed the letter to Du Youlan.

Du Youlan stretched out her hand to take it, swept it gently, retreated from sleepiness, stared at the note a few times, looked at the purple juan beside her, and asked: Is this true?

Zijuan glanced at it again, and replied as if he was considering: There is no mistake in reading the handwriting.

After hearing this, Du Youlan handed the note in her hand back to Zijuan and said: Go, burn it.

Zijuan nodded and took it, and walked away with the candle flame that she had usually lit.

At this time, Du Youlan seemed to have a thousand threads lingering in her heart, and she had her own pain. People who are officials are mostly treacherous and cunning, or obscene and lustful, Du Youlan, as the daughter of a concubine, is in such an official house, and her heart is even more clear and clear. So in her opinion, a person who marries and dies like Lu Shilang and is an honest official is the only upright gentleman in the world.
