The little guy got the order, so he hurriedly ran to the Lu Mansion more than a dozen streets away to report the news.

Lu Shui came back from the palace and was staying in the study to think about countermeasures. Suddenly, I saw the porter come to report, saying that the Ren government had sent someone to report something. Hearing this, Lu Shui hurriedly said: Let him come in!

The little girl was introduced into the study, and when she saw Lu Shui, she stepped forward and said: Lord Lu, my wife sent me to spread the word, saying that the young lady is willing to enter the palace to participate in the draft girl, and please go to my house!

Lu Shui nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

After speaking, the man had already walked out, followed by the little guy who had come to pass the word. Although Lu Shui didn't understand why Qingqing had changed his mind not long after, but in this way, he had to save him from bothering about it, and if he thought about it carefully, it should be what the second elder of the Ren family said.

Lu Shui took the sedan chair, and the sedan chair man stepped forward quickly, and after a short time, he arrived at Ren's house. When the porter saw that it was him, he hurried into the door and ran to inform his masters.

When Mrs. Ren saw that the little girl who had passed the word was gone, she first told Master Ren the good news, and the two sighed happily for a while, thinking that Lu Shui would come, so they sat in front of the hall and waited for him.

The porter replied and turned to pick up Lu Shui. When he entered the front hall, he saw the second elder looking at him with a smile, so he stepped forward and bowed, saying: The younger generation has seen the old lady!

Master Ren got up from the chair, stretched his hands forward, and said, "Lord Lu, please get up quickly."

Lu Shui got up, smiled and nodded. Master Ren also nodded with a smile, and lifted it to the chair with one hand, Lu Shui understood and sat down with a smile. After Master Ren sat down, he said: Originally, we were supposed to go to Lu Mansion for a trip, but it was really unreasonable to let Lord Lu take this trip.

Lu Shui said with a smile: There is something that should have been taken by the juniors, besides, I am very grateful that you can let me come often, why don't you want to come?

Mrs. Ren smiled: It's okay to say this, after all, it bothers you, please don't mind.

Lu Shui smiled and shook his head.

Mrs. Ren then turned to Master Ren and said: Don't say any more official words, Lu Shui treats us as elders, so we are not outsiders, and we will come and go often in the future, if you are always like this, I can't stand it!

Master Ren listened, smiled and nodded.

Mrs. Ren turned her head and sighed: After you left, I talked to Qing Qinghao for a while, and she agreed to me and was willing to enter the palace.

Even so, she breathed a sigh of relief, but it looked like she still had something on her mind, only to see her turn to Lu Shui and say: It's not my intention to invite you to come, but Qingqing said that she has something to tell you. When we meet her, what she says, please let us know.

Lu Shui has been listening, and when he saw this, he said: It's good, it's just that Mrs. is out again, and I will ask the two of you to call me 'Lu Shui' in the future, so I can save the old lady from calling you, and I will call you 'uncle and aunt'!

Mrs. Ren smiled: That's better!

Master Ren also smiled and nodded.

Then, Lu Shui went to Qingqing's room. Qingqing had been staying in the room, thinking about her thoughts, and when she saw Lu Shui coming, she smiled and asked him to sit down. said directly: I will enter the palace to run for election tomorrow, but there is one thing that you have to promise me.

Sure enough, Mrs. Ren's worries were not out of nowhere. After thinking about it, Lu Shui looked at her and asked, "What's the matter?"

Qingqing said: Let Chu Yun go.

Lu Shui's expression froze, the corners of his mouth stiffened, and asked: Why?

Qingqing lowered her eyes and said: After all, he used to be my brother and treated me like a sister.

Lu Shui intercepted his words and said: But he is a mountain bandit, he does all kinds of evil, kidnaps you into the mountains, and makes your family sad and weep because of this, isn't it his fault? Recognize you as a sister, and there is no other conspiracy among them? Qingqing, have you ever thought that he treats you like a sister, but in fact, he has other plans!

After listening to the words, Qingqing smiled and said: What you said is reasonable, and I have thought about it. But he treated me very well, and it is true, even if he is heinous, I don't want to watch him die because of this.

Lu Shui looked at Qingqing, not knowing what else he had to say to convince her.

I saw Qingqing look over, looked up at Lu Shui, and said softly with relief: I think only in this way can I let him go.

Hearing this, Lu Shui looked at her smiling face, but felt in pain, his throat was dry, and his face twitched. After a while, Fang had a feeling of resignation, his face relaxed, the corners of his mouth relaxed, and he looked at her gently, without saying a word, and accompanied her quietly.

After a while, Qi Xuan brought tea and snacks, and when he saw the two of them sitting there without speaking, he was a little strange, and stepped forward and shouted: Lord Lu!

Curtsey bowed, then looked at Qingqing and asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Qingqing smiled: It's okay, Lord Lu is here, what good things have you prepared?

Qi Xuan saw that Qingqing, who was still lazy just now, instantly regained his usual face, knowing that this was a joke, so he complied, laughed back, and said: How can I have any good things? What has the adult not eaten, besides, he came to see you, how can he care about the taste of these snacks?

After speaking, he poured the tea by himself, and brought it to the two of them in turn.

Qingqing said: Your mouth is getting more and more powerful, I don't know if Ah Qi can stand it?

Qi Xuandao: What's the matter with Ah Qi again?

Qingqing smiled and said nothing, picked up the tea and drank it.

Seeing this, Lu Shui on the side was in a happy mood, and when he saw Qi Xuan standing there stupidly, he said: Your young lady is talking about your life's events!

Qi Xuan asked rhetorically: A lifelong event?

Lu Shui listened, but smiled silently.

Qi Xuan saw that both of them were like this, and only half of the words were spoken, so he said: Miss is like this, who wants Lord Lu to be like this, I can't do it, you eat and drink by yourself, I'll go down first, so as not to make fun of me.

After speaking, he turned around and left.

Lu Shui smiled: You girl is a little like you.

Qingqing smiled and drank tea silently.

After that, Lu Shui sat for a while and left. At this time, it was almost dinner, and Mrs. Ren came to invite Qingqing to come over and have dinner together, but Qingqing refused, saying that she wanted to rest earlier. Mrs. Ren listened to the words of the people who came and went, and did not say anything, so she had dinner with Master Ren and the others.

Qi Xuan saw that Qingqing had sent the man away, and he didn't go over to eat, so he asked, "Miss, why don't I go to the kitchen and bring some food?"

Qingqing said: No need, I can't eat. You'll accompany me somewhere later.

Qi Xuan asked: It's getting late later, where does Miss want to go?

Qing Qing said: Heavenly prison.

In the dead of night, the moon hung high in the sky, and on the wide street, footsteps arose, and two figures walked one after the other. The person in front was holding the lamp, and the person in the back followed step by step, it was Qingqing and Qixuan. They changed into men's clothes, tied up green silk, and there was no trace of rouge and gouache on their faces, in order not to make people suspicious. The two of them were walking towards the prison near the palace.
