Lu Mingyue's carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, and there were already many carriages parked here.

Lu Mingyue got out of the carriage, and Jinxin helped Lu Mingyue to walk towards the gate of the palace.

"Seventh sister-in-law."

Nangong Rui was calling her behind Lu Mingyue.

Lu Mingyue turned around and saw Nangong Rui walking this way.

"When did the ninth brother return to Beijing?"

Lu Mingyue saw Nangong Rui suddenly appear at the gate of the palace, thinking that he had been back for a few days.

"I just came back yesterday, and just now the eunuch in the palace came to deliver the decree, my father was seriously ill, and let me enter the palace, and I don't know how my father's health is."

Nangong Rui approached Lu Mingyue with a worried look on his face.

Lu Mingyue said, "Let's go in quickly." ”

The two of them hurried to the palace gate.

"The maid can't go in."

The guards guarding the palace gate said to Lu Mingyue.

Lu Mingyue thought, "There is no such rule on weekdays, it is not that the emperor is seriously ill now, in order to watch out for something." ”

And Jinxin looked at the full moon that had already appeared in the sky, and was worried, "Tonight is a full moon night, what can I do if I am not by the princess's side." ”

Nangong Rui saw Jinxin looking at the night sky, and also looked up, and when he saw that it was a full moon, he understood Jinxin's worries.

The people who came later entered one after another, and the maids and servants were waiting outside the palace, presumably Lu Mingyue was no exception here.

"Jinxin, you wait outside the palace."

Lu Mingyue had no choice but to let Jinxin wait outside the palace.

"But, Princess, tonight."

Jinxin is very anxious and worried about Lu Mingyue, tonight is a full moon, not to mention that Lu Mingyue is pregnant now, there can be no accident.

"I know, it's fine."

Lu Mingyue took Jinxin's hand and patted it, thinking that she would not be able to stay long when she entered the palace, even if she had to stay for a long time, there were many palace maids in the palace, and she still had a way to solve tonight's matter.

Jinxin was still not at ease and frowned.

"Miss Jin, after the seventh sister-in-law enters the palace, I will take care of it, don't worry."

At this time, Nangong Rui said loudly.

Lu Mingyue and Nangong Rui had already delayed entering the palace for many hours, and they really couldn't delay any longer.

Jinxin looked at Nangong Rui and nodded: "Then trouble Lord Rui." ”

Nangong Rui also nodded, and Lu Mingyue and Nangong Rui hurriedly entered the palace.

When Lu Mingyue and Nangong Rui came to the emperor's bedroom, there were already many relatives of the emperor kneeling outside the palace.

Lu Mingyue and Nangong Rui naturally knelt down and waited outside the hall.

After a while, the queen came out of it, her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.

The queen said to the kneeling crowd below, "The emperor has come to see the crown prince." ”

So the prince got up in haste, and went into the palace.

After a while, the prince came out and went in a few more princes, and after that, Nangong Rui was summoned in.

Lu Mingyue thought to herself, "The emperor summoned me one by one, presumably the illness has not yet reached the moment of crisis, and Nangong is definitely not there, so he should not summon me in." ”

Lu Mingyue looked at the full moon in the sky, her body began to change slowly, and she whispered to the palace grandmother who was guarding on the side: "Mama, I'm in a hurry, can I go to the toilet?" ”

Mama immediately went to report to the queen, and after saying it in the queen's ear, the queen nodded.

Mama asked Lu Mingyue to go and come back quickly, and Lu Mingyue got up and went to the toilet.

Lu Mingyue walked cautiously all the way, paying attention to the palace maids and eunuchs who came and went.

At a corner, Lu Mingyue suddenly took out a handkerchief and shook it in front of an oncoming palace maid, and the palace maid's body fell down.

Lu Mingyue caught the palace maid and dragged the palace maid into the corner of the side...... After Nangong Rui entered the emperor's bedroom, he walked directly to the emperor's bed.

The emperor released the news that he was critically ill, that is, he knew that his time was running out, and he wanted to do what he had to do.

"Father."

Nangong Rui came to the emperor's bedside, his eyes full of worry.

"How's that for what you're thinking about?"

The emperor directly asked what he said to Nangong Rui a few days ago.

"Father, I'm afraid my sons can't take on this heavy responsibility."

Nangong Rui still refused.

"You have been away for many years, and I have not restrained you, and now I have not agreed to my last request?"

The emperor persuaded Nangong Rui bitterly.

"Father, this prince really can't take over, not to mention that the crown prince is still there."

Nangong Rui said.

"The prince's affairs, I have my own arrangements, you don't have to worry."

The emperor thought that Nangong Rui was worried about the prince, so he reassured Nangong Rui that the emperor did have some arrangements.

"Father, even if there is no prince, I am not competent, there are many princes who are stronger than me."

Nangong Rui said again.

The emperor understands that Nangong Rui just doesn't have the heart to compete for the throne, Nangong Rui's heart is really like his mother.

"Do you really not want the throne? You know how many people want this position. ”

The emperor grabbed Nangong Rui's hand.

"My father knows that his sons and ministers are concerned about the mountains and rivers, and they are unwilling to be trapped within this city wall."

Nangong Rui said to the emperor.

The emperor sighed: "That's it, that's it, let it be." ”

Then let go of Nangong Rui's hand.

When Nangong Rui came out, the queen glanced at him meaningfully.

At this time, suddenly a royal guard came in a hurry, and said something in the ear of the eunuch waiting outside the door, and the eunuch went in to report.

After a while, the eunuch came out and let the imperial guards in, and the imperial guards hurriedly entered the palace.

Everyone outside the temple was speculating, what happened?

After a while, the imperial guard came out and left.

Nangong Rui came out for a while, only to find that Lu Mingyue was gone.

Nangong Rui asked the grandmother on the side, knowing that Lu Mingyue went to the toilet, so he guessed the real purpose of Lu Mingyue's going, and he also said an excuse to find Lu Mingyue.

Nangong Rui searched for a long time but didn't find Lu Mingyue, thinking if Lu Mingyue had already gone back, so he turned around and walked back.

At this time, Nangong Rui saw not far away, the imperial guard just now escorted a person to somewhere.

Nangong Rui didn't want to pay attention to the affairs in this palace, and just wanted to leave, but he saw how the figure of the person who was escorted looked like Lu Mingyue.

The loose hair of the person who was escorted covered most of his cheeks, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but the clothes on that person were exactly the same as Lu Mingyue.

Nangong Rui had a premonition that it was not good, and hurriedly followed.

"Please wait a minute."

Nangong Rui stopped the imperial guard.

The imperial guard looked back and saw that it was Nangong Rui, and hurriedly saluted: "The minister sees Lord Rui." ”

"Where are you going?"

When Nangong Rui asked the imperial guard, he secretly glanced at the person who was being escorted, it was really Lu Mingyue, Nangong Rui was shocked.

At this time, Lu Mingyue was a little weak, her hands were tied, her hair was scattered, and her head was lowered.

"Lord Huirui, I am ordered by the emperor to take the bloodsucking suspect to the heavenly prison and wait for trial."

The imperial guard replied.
