Hearing this, Lu Zhi smiled slightly: "It seems that my mother seems to have a lot of experience in the past two years." ”

Mrs. Wu sighed when she heard this, looked at Lu Zhi and said abruptly: "Since I ran the shop you gave me, I have never experienced or encountered it before, and I have realized how willful I was back then, and I have not contacted my father and brother at home for many years, how ruthless it is." ”

Lu Zhi didn't say anything, but said: "If my mother has already made a plan, just leave everything to Zhi'er." ”

Mrs. Wu nodded: "I really should go back, Zhi'er, you can just go and do it." ”

After coming out of Mrs. Wu's place, Lu Zhi thought about it and went to the courtyard of the Chen family and the Ma family, and told them separately about her plan to leave the capital and go to Jiangnan.

Chen did not hesitate, and immediately decided to go to Jiangnan to join Lu Heng after hearing this, but asked Lu Zhi to give some time to deal with the settlement of the belongings.

But Ma hesitated for a long time, Lu Zhi did not persuade her to stay or not, nor did she inform her of the news that Mrs. Wu and Chen were leaving, but only told her that she planned to leave the capital and return to Jiangnan, and asked Ma if she would go with her to live with Lu Zhe or stay in the capital.

Ma Shi was silent for a long time, and then said to Lu Zhi: "I know that you look down on me, I don't blame you, I only blame me for my own sins, the master has such a big thing, even if it comes out, it will be wasted, as soon as you leave, Mrs. will naturally go with you, Chen has no thoughts in the capital, Lu Heng is in Jiangnan, she will naturally leave, if I leave again, the master will really have nothing." ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhi was stunned, looked at Ma Shi in front of her, and suddenly became a little unfamiliar, she lowered her eyes and whispered: "Zhi'er respects her aunt's decision, just reminds her aunt, what kind of temper and temperament her father is, aunt should also understand, advise aunt to stay, leave or not, you have to make some plans for yourself, plan for the future, and in the future, aunt can only rely on herself." ”

Ma sighed, and finally spoke: "Thank you, I have made up my mind." ”

On the second day, Lu Zhi began to deal with the rest of the matter, sold the gouache shop at a discounted price, and handed over all the silver to Mrs. Wu.

After dealing with these things, it was already two days later, and the news he got from Xie Qing, Lu Shaofu insisted that he had not done those unconscionable things, but the woman insisted that he had done it, and also pulled a person to testify, and the witness was either someone else, or the bandit leader back then.

Lu Shaofu was scared on the spot, but fortunately, the Ministry of Works, that is, Lu Xin's father, Lu Shangshu scolded at a critical time, which made Lu Shaofu come back to his senses, although there were two witnesses, and all the things they listed were in line with the details of the year, but Lu Shaofu did not admit his guilt, and Emperor Zhengde has not been decided.

After a few more days like this, Lu Zhi calculated the days, and it should only be four or five days before the onset of the tiger and wolf medicine.

Her plan was very simple, that is, on the day of Emperor Zhengde's death, she would quietly leave the capital when no one was free to take care of her.

It doesn't matter if Young Master Lu is released, the emperor dies, and the civil and military officials will naturally go to the Qianqing Palace, Young Master Lu has not been convicted, and no one will find a reason to take away his official position for a while, so he naturally wants to go.

By the time he came back after guarding the Qianqing Palace for three days and three nights, they had already gone down the river to Jiangnan.

Her plan was very good, even the carriage and route out of the city had been prepared, and Mrs. Wu and Chen had been walking very close these days, and there was joy on their faces that they were about to get a new life.

Lu Zhi's heart is also happy, but in the dead of night, when she looks at the bright moon in the sky, she will think of the young man who is as lonely as the night, and the eyes that are as cold as the moonlight.

Occasionally, when I think of it, my heart can't help but tighten, he always helps her, helps her, and she will leave when he is most painful.

Thinking of this, she would always close her eyes in a hurry, forcing herself not to think, not to ask, not to look, he was very busy, much busier than her, because after the death of Emperor Zhengde, he faced not only the pain of losing his father, but also the enmity with his brother.

The days passed like this, and Emperor Zhengde seemed to have made up his mind, not to pronounce whether Lu Shaofu was guilty or innocent, but to go to the court every day to listen to the confrontation between the woman and Lu Shaofu.

This is actually partiality.

So some people began to speak out to argue for Young Master Lu, but after all, they still didn't want to be with him in their bones, and only said that the protégé of the Son of Heaven had been conscientious all these years, how could he be imprisoned because of the verbal words of a mere grass people?

If this is the case, where is the justice, where is the reason!

There were more and more people pleading, and Emperor Zhengde finally opened his mouth, first asking the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, how to sentence in this situation, and then asked Dali Temple Qingzheng, how to sentence.

The answer is obvious, the criminal department Shangshu said that if the crime is convicted, it will be executed. If he is not convicted, he will be released on the spot.

Dali Temple Qingzheng said that now it is a civil prosecutor, and the official should not be tried in court, or even not in court, but this is a natural matter of imperial trial.

He also said that although what this woman said had some truth, it was only a word of tongue after all, and there was no evidence, and after so many years, it was no longer clear who was right and who was wrong in the events of that year, let alone verified, so Lu Shaofu could not be convicted according to the law.

After Emperor Zhengde heard this, he pondered for a while, and finally made a final decision: "Lu Aiqing happened to this incident, although the evidence is insufficient to convict, but virtue needs to be considered, and the official will be demoted by three levels to set an example!"

Young Master Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted, "Thank you, Lord Longen." Then he was full of anticipation and could be released in court, and walked out of here with his head held high.

It's a pity that after Emperor Zhengde said this, he suddenly tilted his body and fell down from the dragon chair of the Jinluan Palace, but fortunately Deng Hai hugged him, so that Emperor Zhengde would not fall to the ground.

Then chaos ensued, Deng Hai carried Emperor Zhengde to the apse, and the Tai Hospital poured out.

The civil and military officials stood on top of the main hall, all as anxious as ants in a hot pot, where did anyone notice Young Master Lu kneeling on the ground.

Half an hour later, a eunuch came to the main hall with tears in his eyes: "Emperor Xue ......"

In the apse of the Qianqing Palace, Duan Yi stood in front of the dragon bed, quietly looking at the face lying on it, because the essence blood was exhausted, that face looked very dry.

was supposed to cry loudly in the room, but there were only four people: Empress Xiao, Gao Nuguan, Deng Hai and Duan Yi.

Empress Xiao sat on the dragon bed, holding Emperor Zhengde's withered hand, with a smile on her face, looking at his appearance, she smiled very sweetly, but tears slipped down: "You ask me, do you complain about you, and I don't regret marrying you later, now, I can tell you the answer." ”
