Chapter 312: Dilemma (3)
Lu Ping's color changed slightly.
Why did King Yan suddenly come to the Lu family?
This act of condescension and dignity, at such a sensitive juncture, not only did not make people feel moved, but revealed an unpredictable and strange uneasiness.
Lu Hong reminded in a low voice: "Second uncle, His Royal Highness King Yan specially came to the door, there must be something important. Don't delay, hurry up and welcome His Highness in! ”
Lupin came to his senses and nodded.
King Yan is coming, and everyone in the Lu family has to follow Lu Ping.
"His Royal Highness personally came, which flattered Weichen and was sincerely afraid." Lupin bowed respectfully. The Lu family behind him saluted with Lu Ping.
King Yan tugged at the corners of his lips, and his voice was quite gentle: "Director Lu doesn't need to be polite, this king is also here on the orders of his father." ”
Lupin: "......"
He is just the head of the military department, and he is not even qualified to participate in the court meeting on weekdays. Why did the emperor suddenly think about him?
Lu Ping bowed and laughed repeatedly: "I don't know what the emperor has to say?" ”
King Yan's gaze swept and landed on the handsome young man behind Lu Ping, and a trace of gloom and coldness flashed in his eyes.
It's this Lu Hong!
If it weren't for him, Princess Changping would not have killed Xu Yuma in a daze, let alone ended up like this. Now that Princess Changping is imprisoned in Ciyun Nunnery, he doesn't want to stay out of it and be at ease.
King Yan's gaze on Lu Hong was too obvious.
Lupin's heart sank. The bad feeling is getting stronger!
Lu Hong hung his head, still feeling King Yan's gaze scraping his face like a blade, secretly frightened.
I only heard King Yan say leisurely: "Actually, it's nothing important. The father heard that the eldest prince of Lu was unparalleled in talent and suave, and he had the heart to see it. The king was ordered to personally come to pick up the eldest prince Lu into the palace to face the saint. ”
Lu Hong: "......"
Everyone in the Lu family: "......"
In just a few words, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and everyone was dizzy.
How could the emperor hear about Lu Hong's name? It's just that the talent is unparalleled, but the four words are meaningful, and it is very scary to think about it!
Not to mention Lu Hong, even the sleek and sophisticated Lu Ping was shocked by these words and was speechless for a long time.
King Yan looked at Lu Hong's pale face coldly, snorted secretly in his heart, and said with a smile: "Grand Master Lu, let's enter the palace with this king now!" Father is still waiting to see you. ”
The emperor's summons, of course, cannot be refused.
Lu Hong calmed down and arched his hand: "Please also ask Your Highness to allow me to change into clean new clothes and refresh, and then enter the palace to face the saint." "I just took this opportunity to discuss countermeasures with my second uncle.
King Yan obviously saw through Lu Hong's thoughts, and said a little impatiently: "It's not a woman, you don't need to freshen up and change clothes, just get in the carriage now." ”
The tone reveals the rightfully domineering!
Lu Hong's heart tightened, but he didn't dare to refuse.
Lu Ping watched Lu Hong get into the carriage with King Yan, and watched the carriage set off with restlessness.
After the carriage disappeared in front of him, his face became solemn, and he quickly whispered: "Ah Qian, you immediately repair a letter and return to Jizhou, and tell your father about this matter." ”
Lu Qian answered, and was about to turn around and leave, but Lu Ping changed his mind again: "That's it!" For such an important matter, it is better for me to write a letter myself. Come with me to the study! ”
Lu Qian followed Lu Ping into the study.
Lupin furrowed his brow and spread out the letter. Lu Qian silently stood aside and studied ink, feeling at a loss in his heart.
Everything is different from the previous life!
Empress Xu and Princess Changping stepped across the stage respectively, leaving only King Yan to support them. King Yan's hopes of competing for the position of prince are becoming more and more slim.
If King Yan can't sit on that dragon chair, what will happen to the Lu family who are attached to King Yan? What will be the fate of Lu Hong, who was summoned to the palace saint? There is also Ling Jingshu, who was originally a female official next to Queen Xu, but now she is trapped in the palace, is there still a chance to get out of the palace? What exactly can he do?
All kinds of questions weigh heavily on my heart, making people breathless.
Lu Ping was full of thoughts, and he didn't notice Lu Qian's abnormality at all, so he quickly wrote a letter and ordered someone to send it to Jizhou day and night.
……
Lu Hong once fantasized about entering the palace several times to face the saint.
Among these fantasies, without exception, he took the high school entrance examination, and then shined in the palace examination and won the favor of the emperor. Since then, the future has been bright.
He never thought that he would be summoned to the palace by the emperor in such an embarrassing situation.
Along the way, King Yan closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and he didn't say a word to him from beginning to end.
Lu Hong sat in the carriage silently, full of thoughts.
After entering the palace gate, he followed King Yan into the Zichen Palace. After King Yan entered the hall, he stood alone under the eaves of the corridor and waited for more than an hour. It wasn't until the legs and feet that he stood were sore, and he waited for the emperor's summons.
The Zichen Hall was full of medicinal smells, mixed with sandalwood, forming a not very good and depressing smell.
The emperor did not wear a dragon robe, only a regular dress, and sat on the dragon chair half-leaning and half-leaning.
Lu Hong didn't dare to raise his head, and knelt down and bowed: "Student Lu Hong, see the emperor." ”
He is a man of great merit and fame, and it is appropriate to call himself a student.
The emperor didn't speak, and his sharp gaze fell on him fixedly.
Lu Hong didn't dare to get up, still maintaining a kneeling posture, and cold sweat gradually oozed from his back. Along the way, I was nervous and uneasy, and now, this bad premonition has finally been confirmed.
The emperor really didn't have good intentions!
The matter between him and Princess Changping has long been spread throughout the capital under the instigation and spread by well-intentioned people. The emperor must have heard about it, so he summoned him to the palace to inquire.
Today, I don't know if he will be able to walk out of the Zichen Hall alive......
I don't know how long it took before the emperor asked lightly: "You are Lu Hong?" ”
Lu Hong knelt up straight and replied respectfully.
"Raise your head and let me take a look." There was no joy or anger in the emperor's voice, but there was a frightening majesty.
Lu Hong had to raise his head.
He finally saw the emperor's appearance clearly.
The emperor was already old, his face was sickly pale, the corners of his eyes were full of wrinkles, and he looked no different from other old people. But those slightly narrowed eyes were surprisingly sharp and compelling.
The emperor looked at it a few times, smiled meaninglessly, and said slowly: "You are really handsome and elegant, and your demeanor is outstanding. Changping's eyesight is not bad. ”
Lu Hong's face turned pale.
Sure enough, it's because of Princess Changping!
In front of the emperor who knew about Yiqiē, Lu Hong couldn't think of any rebuttal, silently swallowed the humiliation, and replied in a low voice: "The student has a despicable mind, he doesn't dare to be praised by the emperor, and he is not worthy of the favor of Her Royal Highness the princess."
