Chapter 396: Telling the Truth
Lu Lingzhi looked at the back of Ye Hao leaving, he didn't catch up, he didn't suspect that she betrayed him, and told the emperor the news that Shuang'er was not dead, and when he saw her today, he denied this idea again, Xiaoxiao was not sure that Shuang'er was still alive, she had no evidence, and the emperor also found the little nun, how could he suspect that he betrayed him.
He didn't want to force her to accept his feelings, now he has nothing, and he will be demoted to the border city, if it weren't for the emperor's view that he still has the skill of the dragon, he would probably have directly raided his house, how could he let him go to the border town to guard the territory.
Maybe there's another reason, it's because of the premature death.
Lu Lingzhi shook his head in disbelief and smiled bitterly, even if he pretended to be very indifferent and confident, he still couldn't hide the confusion in his heart in front of the untimely death, he really didn't know...... There is still no chance of making a comeback, and for the first time in so many years, he has a kind of fear of not knowing what to do.
Before he knew it, he had come to the outside of Lu Shiming's study.
"Third uncle." He knocked softly on the door, knowing that the third uncle must have been waiting for him in the study.
"Come in." Lu Shiming's deep voice came out.
Lu Lingzhi walked into the study, only to find that the third uncle had also prepared dinner for him, and for a moment, his eyes were a little damp, "Third uncle, I'm back." ”
"You must have not eaten all day, come and sit down, just eat with me." Lu Shiming said with a smile, pointing to the opposite position and asking Lu Lingzhi to sit down.
"I bothered the third uncle today." Lu Lingzhi suddenly knelt down, "It was I who failed the expectations of my grandmother and you. ”
Lu Shiming patted him on the shoulder, "Don't say these words for the time being, fill your stomach first, the old lady doesn't blame you, she just worries about you." ”
"Third uncle......" Lu Lingzhi lowered his head, he really didn't know what to say.
"Let's eat." Lu Shiming said, "Your mother was stimulated today, and the doctor has already shown her, but you still need to persuade her again." ”
Lu Lingzhi stood up and sat down opposite Lu Shiming, clutching the chopsticks tightly in his hand, "I have already told my mother that she will not be noisy." ”
It's best for the Liu family to be quiet, Lu Shiming can't be as tolerant of the Liu family as he is to a few nephews, "Eat, we're talking about things after eating." ”
The uncle and nephew quietly ate all the food on the table, which was probably the most fragrant meal Lu Lingzhi had ever eaten.
After the two of them were full, Lu Shiming asked people to come in and clean up, and then he sat down on both sides of the coffee table with Lu Lingzhi, "We will move back to the original house early tomorrow morning, and today we have asked the next person to go over to clean up first, and we can live in tomorrow when we go over, but ...... There is a difference between the ordinary mansion and the Hou Mansion, I just hope everyone can get used to it. ”
"Tomorrow ......" Lu Lingzhi said with some bitterness, "Third uncle, I was demoted to the border town to guard the territory, and it is time to leave tomorrow." ”
Lu Shiming raised his head in surprise, "Did the emperor demote you to the border city?" ”
"Without the emperor's decree, I will never be able to come back." Lu Lingzhi lowered his head, this was his biggest worry.
"What did you do to make the emperor so ......" mercilessly! Let Lu Lingzhi go to the territory and not be able to come back, this is already a great punishment.
Lu Lingzhi said, "There is one thing I have never said, the reason why Shuang'er was able to be canonized as a concubine is because she pretended to be the life-saving benefactor that the emperor met when he was a teenager, and the emperor later knew that she was impersonating, Shuang'er lost her favor, and because she did something wrong, she was abolished as a sister-in-law, I can't bear to see her only in Nianci Temple for the rest of her life, so ...... sent her to another place, and the emperor knew about it. ”
"Impersonation...... The emperor's savior? Is Shuang'er crazy, how can this be casually recognized? Lu Shiming glared at his nephew in shock, "Shuang'er was not burned to death by fire, was you let go?" You set the fire in the Nianci Temple? ”
"Third uncle, it was already difficult to ride a tiger at that time, and I couldn't bear to see Shuang'er sad, so I ......" Lu Lingzhi sighed, in fact, it was for Shuang'er for one reason, and another reason was that he also had his own ambitions.
Lu Shiming slapped the case heavily, "You are just messing around!" For the sake of Shuang'er, can you gamble with the lives of your whole family? You are not only guilty of bullying the king, this is a great crime to punish the nine clans, do you know? Even if Shuang'er is deposed as a concubine, she is also the emperor's woman, ...... You actually burned down the Nianci Temple like this and sent her away? ”
"Yes." Lu Lingzhi lowered his head with a pale face.
"That's not right!" Lu Shiming was furious and remembered that not long ago there was a rumor of a stunning woman in the palace, "What's the matter with that Ye Yaoyao?" ”
Lu Lingzhi knew that there was nothing to hide from the third uncle, and told the third uncle all the truth, so that the Lu family could be kept in the future," ...... Shuang'er told the emperor that it was her father who asked her to pretend to be the life-saving benefactor, and the woman who really saved the emperor was put under house arrest. ”
"Ye Yaoyao is not a real lifesaver, you have prepared it a long time ago, right?" Lu Shiming is such a smart person, he immediately guessed Ye Yaoyao's purpose, "Yanzhi, Ye Yaoyao is a trick that you have prepared a long time ago, in case Shuang'er's identity is exposed, you ...... You've let me down so much. ”
"Third uncle, I can't help it, except for doing this, I don't know what else can be done to keep the Lu family from being implicated." Lu Lingzhi said in a dumb voice, he had already regretted it, but ...... What could he do? After he poisoned Ye Hao, there was no turning back.
"This Ye Yaoyao is not the person the emperor is looking for, who is the person who really saved the emperor?" Lu Shiming wanted to reprimand this nephew, but what was the use of scolding now?
Lu Lingzhi took a deep breath, "I only learned today that the woman who once saved the emperor has a nickname called Xiao Xiao...... With the same name as the third sister, no wonder...... The emperor would be so sure that he suspected that Shuang'er was not the one who saved him back then. ”
"Young?" Lu Shiming exclaimed in astonishment, "The emperor is suspicious of Shuang'er because of his untimely death?" ”
"I don't know when the emperor began to suspect Shuang'er, third uncle, that's the way it is, the emperor will abolish my title today......" Lu Lingzhi lowered his head in pain, in fact, the emperor should have suspected him a long time ago, and he didn't make an order to move him for a long time, is it because he cares about the old feelings?
So what is the reason that the emperor no longer cares about the old feelings?
Lu Lingzhi thought of Lu Yaoyao.
"The emperor just abolished your title, and he is already merciful." Lu Shiming said in a deep voice, "You can only tell me about this matter, and don't mention it again to the old lady, so as not to hurt her heart." ”
"I know." Lu Lingzhi nodded lightly, "Third uncle, what is the death...... Whose biological daughter is it? ”
