In the next few days, the palace gradually became lively, and it was no longer the cold and deserted appearance it had before. A large number of palace maids were recruited by Tang Man, and people shuttling could be seen everywhere in the palace.

On the other side, there was also news about Liang Xiao's inspection of many concubines in the harem.

In the study, Lu Chen was sitting there reviewing the passages from all over the place, Liang Xiao bowed slightly beside him and said, "King, the matter of the harem has been investigated. ”

"Oh." Lu Chen didn't raise his head and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

"As the two women said, the two of them are the daughters of ordinary families in Nanyang County, and Weichen has also sent someone to investigate, and they were indeed forcibly arrested into the palace by Ding Rui's forbidden army at that time." Liang smiled back.

"Is there any family still around?" Lu Chen asked again.

"His father was killed by Ding Rui's forbidden army in the rebellion at that time, and his mother is still alive and begging." Liang said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lu Chen closed the letter that had been approved, looked up at Liang Xiao, and suddenly changed his words and said: "Liang Xiao, the first two Japanese kings awarded the title of 100 officials, but you alone did not get any reward, don't you have anything to say to this king?" ”

When Liang Xiao heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said urgently: "King, it is a great honor for Weichen to be by the king's side, and I dare not have any other extravagance!" ”

"Haha—you get up first." Lu Chen got up and walked around the table, pulled up Liang Xiao who was kneeling on the ground, and at the same time straightened his clothes, and said sincerely: "Liang Xiao, do you know, you are the most trusted person of this king, but your responsibility is to lead the secret guard, and the secret guard must be hidden in the dark, so if you feel that you have any grievances, you can confide in this king, and this king will never blame you." ”

"Big, king, Weichen is terrified!" The king sorted out the clothes of his courtiers, which almost scared Liang Xiao to death! And Lu Chen's actions also made Liang Xiao want to kneel on the ground again, but was stopped by Lu Chen first.

Then, he took out a rectangular brocade box from the bookshelf, opened it, handed it to Liang Xiao, and said: "This king knows that your weapon is a folding fan, so as early as half a month ago, he specially asked someone to create this black jade fan, you see if you like it." ”

This black fan, the fan branch is made of extremely rare black jade, and the fan body is a black brocade cloth with excellent texture, Liang Xiao saw this, and was immediately stunned, he never thought that the dignified king of a country would actually build a black fan specifically for him, a courtier.

He knelt on the ground with a puff, raised his hands high, took the brocade box handed by Lu Chen, his lips trembled, tears were about to fall, and he choked up and said, "King! O king...... Weichen, how can Weichen be so troubled, let the king bother so much, it really hurts Weichen...... The king's kindness, even if Weichen is broken, it will be difficult to repay it......"

"Huh? Why are you kneeling again, get up quickly, get up quickly. ”

Lu Chen said: "This king may not be able to give you a clear official position, but a count is still no problem, and your Liang family, this king also hopes to become a hero who protects my Gale King for generations." ”

"Don't worry, the king! The Liang family, eternal and eternal, will guard the king's side! If anyone tries to disadvantage the king, they must first step on the corpse of the Liang family! Liang Xiao said with ruddy eyes.

"Good!" Lu Chen nodded, then stretched and asked, "What time is it?" ”

"Back to the king, it's almost dinner time now, and Weichen has asked the palace maid to go down to inform the dining room and ask her to send the king's favorite dishes to the study." Liang Xiao wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve and said, and then the baby seemed to hold the brocade box carefully in his arms.

Just kidding, this is a gift from the king, how can he use it easily!

Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "Forget it, didn't you mention those two women just now, let's go, follow me and prepare some snacks by the way." ”

"No."

The harem, where Murong Qing is.

There was only one person by Lu Chen's side, Liang Xiao was just about to act as an attendant, shouting 'The king has arrived', but Lu Chen waved his hand to stop him, and asked, "These two women, do you know their names?" ”

Liang Xiao was in charge of investigating this matter, and these were naturally clarified, and he hurriedly returned: "King Yu, his sister's name is Murong Qing, and his sister's name is Murong Xue. ”

"Oh." Lu Chen responded, and couldn't help but secretly think that the personalities of these two sisters are really very different.

He stood still outside the palace, and immediately shouted loudly: "Murong Qing! Murong Xue! ”

In the room, hearing the shouting, Murong Xue was the first to say in surprise: "Sister, it seems that someone is calling our names." ”

Since being locked in the deep palace, for so many days, this is the first time that someone has called her name, Murong Qing was also slightly surprised, a look of surprise flashed on her face, and then she said softly: "This, it seems to be that person's voice." ”

"Who's my sister."

"The King."

Hearing the word king, Murong Xue's face changed, in her impression, kings are all brutal people, and if they are a little unsatisfactory, they will kill this and that at every turn!

She has a pair of natural charming eyes, which are moving, but her young age makes her look extremely charming, and at this moment, she seems to be a little panicked.

However, Murong Qing quickly calmed down and said, "Don't be afraid, if the king wants to kill the two of us, it only takes one sentence, why do you need to come here in person." ”

As she spoke, she took her sister's hand and walked outside.

After arriving outside the door, the second daughter first saluted Lu Chen, and then Murong Qing said: "The people don't know that the king has arrived, and she has missed the distance, and she hopes that the king will forgive her sins." ”

"No need to be polite." Lu Chen waved his hand, and then asked for no reason, "Have you eaten it?" ”

"Ah......" Murong Qing was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the king, it's ...... Not yet......" She couldn't help but think in her heart, how could there be such a king.

"It just so happened that I brought some snacks." Lu Chen gestured to Liang Xiao, Liang Xiao understood, stepped forward and handed the basket to Murong Qing.

Is it toxic? Murong Qing took it in a daze, not understanding what Lu Chen meant at all, but soon, she shook her head secretly, just like she said, Lu Chen wanted to kill him, it was just a matter of one sentence, how could it be such a waste of time.

Seeing that she was stunned, Lu Chen smiled slightly and asked, "Is there tea in the house?" ”

"Huh? Ah, yes, yes, the King, please—"

After entering the second daughter's room, Lu Chen first raised his eyes and looked at him for a week, then fixed his eyes on Murong Xue, who had been hiding behind Murong Qing, and asked with a smile:

"Why, does this king look like a man-eating demon? ...... makes Murong Xue so scared of Miss Murong Xue"
