Chapter 123 The Husband's Responsibility
Because Lu Jue had to deal with the retrial case, the early dynasty was presided over by Zhongzong. It is also rare to have peace above the court.
After the early dynasty, the Wei brothers, who felt bored, actually played chess in the inner hall of Wei Gao's mansion.
Just as Wei Han was about to win, the maid beside Wei Yuan'er hurriedly ran in in early winter.
Wei Gao looked at her in a hurry and asked, "You are not in the palace to serve Liangdi Niangniang, what are you doing when you come back?" ”
Chu Dong hurriedly saluted: "The eldest lord, the second lord, it's not good, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has detained the queen mother in the palace, quickly find a way to save the queen mother!" ”
"What, that kid is so bold." Wei Han slapped the table angrily and got up, shouting loudly: "Shiliang, Shiliang, Yan Shiliang......"
A middle-aged man with small eyebrows and small eyes ran in from afar, hugged his fists and said, "Here, what does the prince command?" ”
Wei Han grabbed him by the collar: "Go and order a thousand soldiers immediately, we ......"
"Don't worry, let's ask clearly!" However, Wei Gao was not confused, and hurriedly stopped him, turned to look at Chu Dong and asked, "What the hell is going on?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......"
Before Chu Dong could reply, Wei Gao interrupted angrily: "It's all at this time, if there is anything else to ask, order troops immediately." As he spoke, he picked up the sword that was placed on the table and strode out.
"Oops, I knew something was going to happen!" glanced at the early winter and chased out.
……
Zhou Ruoshui was injured, and Liu Fuling and his wife, who had planned to go home to reunite with their families for the New Year, were also called back.
After the diagnosis and examination, Lu Jue drove the two people out and sat back on the edge of the bed with the ointment.
Lu Jue, who didn't say a word, was really scary, and his murderous aura made people dare not approach.
But in front of Zhou Ruoshui, her eyes were still full of pity and gentleness, and her hands and feet were gently ointment for her hands.
Zhou Ruoshui just looked at him quietly and didn't say anything forgiving.
Suddenly, the back of her hand was wet, and Lu Jue was so sad that she cried because she didn't protect her.
"Rokuro, I'm fine!" Raise your hand to wipe away the tears that ran down his cheeks.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Lu Jue held her hand tightly, moved to her lips and gently kissed the wound on her hand, and said sorry several times in a row.
"You're not sorry for me, Liulang......" Hearing his deep apology, Zhou Ruoshui felt extremely uncomfortable, tears also fell, and he choked up holding his hand tightly.
"Don't say it, I know it all." Lu Jue stretched out his hand to cover her mouth, let her lean into his arms, and said softly: "You're tired, it's time to sleep, don't think about anything, when you wake up, it's over!" ”
It's strange to say that Zhou Ruoshui just hummed softly, and he really fell asleep.
Lu Jue looked down at Zhou Ruoshui, who was already asleep, and removed the hand that was blocking her mouth, and there was a neatly folded and delicate handkerchief in his hand.
He glanced down at her, put her away, covered her with the quilt, kissed her on the forehead, and whispered in her ear: "Sleep well!" I'll punish you for the wicked! ”
Straightened up, only to put away the gentleness, and replaced it with a burst of murderous energy.
……
The few people sitting in the main hall were the most uneasy, and Wei Yuan'er was even more trembling.
Wei Hou turned his head and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Wei Yuan'er looked at Empress Wei with a pale face, and said in a trembling voice: "The mole on His Royal Highness the Prince's eyebrows has turned black!" ”
"Don't scare yourself, that mole has been with him since he was born, how can it be easily changed!" After comforting her, Empress Wei began to feel uneasy in her heart.
Concubine Nie Hui even tiptoed back and forth in the hall to relieve her inner uneasiness.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
A loud shout recalled the thoughts of many people, and they all stood up and looked away, Lu Jue had already walked to the center of the main hall.
Mei Hanxue immediately greeted her and asked, "How is Niangniang?" ”
"Sleep, thank you for your concern!" Lu Jue replied coldly.
"The concubine is going to see the mother!" Mei Hanxue was just about to turn around.
Lu Jue stretched out his hand to stop: "No need." Then he glared at the four female guards of the palace people who were kneeling on the ground and said, "Don't stare here, Madame is asleep, no one is guarding, you go to the inner hall!" ”
"Yes." The four of them were ordered to retreat.
After the four of them left, Lu Jue walked directly to the main seat of the main hall and sat down, with his elbows on his knees, his chin on the back of his hands, and smiled lightly: "Everyone comes to my palace as a guest, you are a guest, you don't have to be so polite, don't stand, sit!" ”
Although he had a faint smile on his face, everyone who looked at it shuddered.
At this time, no one dared to say a word, and they all sat down obediently.
"Lu Yin, instruct the kitchen to prepare lunch, and this prince will entertain the queen and concubine Hui well!"
Before Lu Yin walked out, Concubine Nie Hui slapped the table and got up: "His Royal Highness the Prince's palace gate is profound, the palace can't afford to enjoy it, and the palace is going back to the palace!" Then he turned around and walked out of the hall. But as soon as he walked to the gate of the palace, he was stopped by Bai Jiu who was standing there.
She turned around and looked at Lu Jue with anger: "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean by this?" ”
"It's not interesting, I just want to keep my mother for dinner!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's heart Sima Zhao, everyone knows it, telling this lie, is the queen credible? Is Hongu credible? As a concubine, the crown princess doesn't know the system and causes chaos in the palace, can't the palace and the queen mother, as elders, be taught a lesson? ”
Lu Jue smiled, and looked at Concubine Nie Hui with a cold look in her eyes: "Naturally, it is a lesson, Niangniang thinks so thoughtfully for Erchen, won't Erchen set up a banquet to thank Niangniang for her kindness!" ”
"Lu Jue, don't think that you want to do something, the palace will not know, the palace and the queen mother are out of the palace, and the palace knows everything, if there is an accident, you are not afraid of the emperor asking for guilt! This palace is just leaving, I see who dares to stop it! ”
"Our affairs haven't been clarified yet, why should the mother be in a hurry to leave!" He raised his hand and pointed to the seat next to the queen mother and said, "Please take a seat." ”
Concubine Nie Hui knew in her heart that she couldn't get out at all, although she was reluctant, she still returned to her seat, but she still shouted arrogantly: "The crown princess misbehaves, why can't this palace preach and preach to the queen's mother, it needs to be unreasonably detained by His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
"I am Zhou Ruoshui's husband, should I seek justice for her in some things?" Lu Jue glanced at Concubine Nie Hui, and turned to Empress Wei: "May I ask the queen mother, picking up clothes to humiliate and deliberately hurt, is this also the scope of preaching?" ”
… When Lu Jue asked like this, Empress Wei was not embarrassed, she barely squeezed out a smile: "The crown princess is okay, right?" ”
As soon as her words fell, Lu Jue sighed, looked at her and smiled coldly, she is like this!
Squinting at the few grandmothers kneeling on the ground, the palace people asked, "You, who are the grandmothers and palace maids in the palace?" ”
Those few grandmothers and palace maids didn't dare to answer, and they all kowtowed like garlic and begged for mercy: "His Royal Highness the Prince, spare your life!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spares his life! ……”
Lu Jue glared at a few people and shouted: "Say!" ”
Several people were so frightened that their whole bodies trembled, and they all looked at Concubine Nie Hui, and then at Mama Chen, who was the leader.
Mama Chen, who was the leader, immediately climbed forward and kowtowed a few times: "Slaves, slaves, slaves, maids, etc. are the palace people and grandmothers of Yanxi Palace." Please forgive your Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ”
Lu Jue glanced at Concubine Nie Hui, her face sank, she sat up straight, and said loudly: "Come on, cut off all their hands!" ”
"Yes." Huhula suddenly came in more than a dozen black-clothed guards armed with steel knives, led by the night wind.
Seeing this posture, those palace people and grandmothers all crawled in front of Empress Wei and Concubine Nie Hui for help: "Queen Mother, Concubine Hui Mother, save the slaves and maids!" ……”
Concubine Nie Hui is used to being favored, and sometimes she doesn't even pay attention to Empress Wei, let alone Lu Jue, the outdoor prince. She slapped the table and got up and said angrily: "Lu Jue, you were bewitched by a woman and harmed my son's life." It is merciful that the palace did not let her accompany the burial, but you challenged the imperial power for such an innocent woman, and the palace is impatient to see that you are sitting impatiently as the prince! Do you believe ......it or not?"
Ahem...... Empress Wei coughed twice to interrupt Concubine Nie Hui's words, glared at her, stood up and became a peacemaker: "This palace is fair, Concubine Nie Hui, the emperor has decreed that the case of King Qi's unjust death will be retried, as long as it is investigated, it will give justice to your mother and son, you, don't trouble the princess again, how about it?" ”
"Yes, the concubine will obey Yi's order!" Even if she was unwilling, in this case, Concubine Nie Hui had no choice but to take a step back.
Empress Wei nodded with satisfaction, turned to Lu Jue and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, it shouldn't have happened, it happened, even if it is for the sake of the crown princess, it is better to raise your noble hand and let these slaves and maids go, and they will definitely remember the prince's kindness in the future!" ”
"The lives of the slaves and maids are cherished by the queen, so my lady's innocence is not important! Since this matter can't be solved, then whoever doesn't want to get out of this womb! Obviously, these words did not satisfy Lu Jue, he lowered his head and smiled coldly, leaned on the back of the chair, rubbed his hands, a cold light flashed in his eyes, stared at the palace people who were still kneeling in front of Wei, and said sharply: "Right here, cut off their hands in front of me!" ”
"Yes" those trained dead soldiers, but not soft-hearted people, despite the cries and begs for mercy, pressed to the ground, with swords in their hands, five men with ten hands, no less than one.
Suddenly, the men all curled up and cried out in pain.
"Shhhh ”
Suddenly, those people closed their mouths, and they didn't dare to come out, only the broken hands and the beads of sweat that fell from the beans proved what kind of punishment they had just received.
Those delicate princesses and concubines were also trembling with fear.
Concubine Nie Hui, the leader of all this, was even more pale as a pins and needles.
Empress Wei tried several times, but she couldn't maintain the bearing of the mother of the country, and slightly raised the corners of her mouth: "So, His Royal Highness the Prince, you are satisfied!" ”
Lu Jue snorted, held on to the armrest of the chair, stood up, walked between Empress Wei and Concubine Nie Hui, leaned on the square table with one hand, tilted his head and looked at Concubine Nie Hui, whose face had changed, and said: "Erchen is in charge of the previous dynasty, and he doesn't know the etiquette of the harem. I don't know how to deal with these cruel and tyrannical concubines in the harem? ”
Hearing this, Concubine Nie Hui glared at Lu Jue angrily: "What do you mean, is it possible that you still have to cut off your hands in this palace, this palace tells you that you don't have this right." ”
Lu Jue hooked the corners of her mouth, and looked at her coldly: "So, isn't Erchen asking the queen mother, how to deal with it?" ”
"You"
"Rokuro." Zhou Ruoshui's voice came.
Lu Jue turned his head to look, and Zhou Ruoshui, who had changed his clothes again, was about to enter the main hall. He took a few quick steps, covered her eyes before she saw this bloody scene, and asked softly in her ear, "Why did you come out?" ”
It was also at that moment that the mole, which had been blackened, turned back to red.
Zhou Ruoshui asked differently: "Liulang, why are you covering my eyes?" I can't even see the way. ”
"You can't see me holding you. The matter here is not finished yet, those disgusted people have not left, and I don't want to dirty your eyes anymore! He gave Night Wind a look, turned around, turned her back to everything, and smiled softly: "Why don't you sleep more?" ”
"I just heard someone shouting, and I couldn't sleep anymore, so I wanted to come out and see, you didn't punish them severely, did you?"
Lu Jue shook his head: "It's just a slap on their mouths, so it's okay!" ”
Before Zhou Ruoshui could speak, Wei Yuan'er stood up first and interjected: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cut off the hands of five people for you, you ......!" ”
Before she finished her words, Lu Jue looked at her fiercely.
Wei Yuan'er didn't dare to say any more about the next words.
Lu Jue looked back at Zhou Ruoshui's eyes and said solemnly: "They hurt you, you should be cut!" ”
At this moment, Lu Yin hurriedly walked in and hurriedly saluted: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the King of Luoyang led his troops to surround the Prince's Mansion!" People are outside the temple right now! ”
Lu Jue turned around, took Zhou Ruoshui's hand, looked outside the hall and said, "Please!" ”
It could have been a trivial matter, but it was really out of control, and Empress Wei glanced at Wei Yuan'er, who was secretly proud, and it was a headache.
