The emperor nodded slightly, and then turned his head to Lu Bingyan and said: "Today, since you have been given an order to demote the official and let you be punished, I won't say much about it, and this matter will be handed over to you, can Lu Shuling have any objections?" ”

Where did Lu Bingyan dare to have any objections, he immediately shook his head and said, "Weichen doesn't dare, Weichen doesn't dare." ”

The emperor was silent, and his eyes motioned for Lu Bingyan to retreat.

Seeing this, Lu Bingyan hurriedly bowed down and retreated to the corner.

At this time, everyone didn't look at him like before, but they had a trace of respect for Lu Bingyan as before.

Lu Bingyan also noticed the change, and muttered in his heart, but it was not difficult to guess the reason.

His Royal Highness Xu Cai helped him speak, so that everyone could see that his position in the court was not lost.

Everyone was thinking about a recent rumor about the second prince, that is, the two princes wanted to ask to marry Lu Guanlan, the daughter of the Lu family.

It was just a rumor before, and everyone only heard about it in the community.

Now it looks like it's true.

The second prince of Fang Cai defended Lu Bingyan like that, but it really seemed that he was defending his future father-in-law.

To say that the biggest thing in the DPRK today is the news that Lu Bingyan was demoted and Li Duan's body is about to arrive in Kyoto.

After going down, Lu Bingyan saw that Cheng Mo was about to walk out, so he wanted to go up and say a few words of gratitude.

At this time, the voice of Zhao Gonggong came from behind him.

"Lu Shuling, wait for the minions, Your Majesty asked the minions to go to the mansion with Lu Shuling to get official uniforms," Zhao Quan took two steps down from the steps of the throne and caught up with Lu Bingyan.

Lu Bingyan hurriedly turned around when he heard the movement, and he didn't care about thanking His Royal Highness the Second Highness, so he immediately greeted Zhao Quandao: "I'm tired of Father-in-law Zhao, then Father-in-law Zhao will go back with me." ”

Zhao Quan smiled and nodded, and then followed Lu Bingyan out of the main hall.

Cheng Ye walked at the end, raised his eyes to see the location where Cheng Mo had left, and saw that Zhao Quan followed Lu Bingyan at this time.

From this point of view, today's incident, Lu Bingyan is afraid that he is extremely grateful to Chengmo.

As for Zhao Quan, it should have been his father who sent him to deliberately see if the child in Lu Jingzhu's belly was real or fake.

I'm afraid, I'm afraid, when the father really asked him to marry Lu Jingzhu, in this way, he married a concubine in the third prince's house, which is telling everyone how little he is valued.

Thinking about it, Narino slowly walked out of the hall.

Strangely, under the steps outside the main hall, he saw that Cheng Mo didn't seem to plan to go first, but stood in place and wanted to wait for someone.

At this time, I saw Cheng Mo suddenly turn around, and the direction of his eyes was himself.

He was slightly stunned, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

Tao yuan.

Lu Guanlan was looking at the scroll, and Ah Li was peeling oranges for Lu Guanlan on the side, feeding them without a mouthful.

After a while, I saw Chu Yu coming in from outside, it seemed that he was frozen hard, and the green silk was stained with a layer of frost, and after entering the house with a cold air, he hurriedly squatted next to a brazier at the door and stretched out his hand to bake the fire, and he didn't dare to get too close to Lu Guanlan.

Lu Guanlan raised his head at this time, looking at Chu Yu like this, he was also a little distressed, but said with a smile: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to do anything." ”

Chu Yu was very useful to Lu Guanlan's words, she used to be very reluctant to do things for Lu Guanlan, but now although she is not reluctant, in the end, she is not happy to change to someone else in such a big winter all day long, but she feels that she is used to it now, and even feels that Lu Guanlan has to be herself.

Chu Yu sighed into his hand and said, "That's nature. ”

Ah Li smiled when she heard this, turned her head and threw an orange to Chu Yu, "No, Miss specially left a few for a few of our girls, you can taste them first." ”

Hatsuyu took it quickly, quickly peeled the orange, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Then he said: "Mo Yuan is very anxious today, when I went to take a look, I heard Lu Jingzhu and the maid Ping'er next to him talking about worry, I don't know whether I was worried about his father or the third highness I was thinking about." ”

Lu Guanlan smiled faintly when he heard this, "Naturally, I have it." ”

is worried about Lu Bingyan, because he is afraid that he will not have the protection of the Lu family, and I am afraid that he will not even be qualified to be a concubine.

is worried about Chengye, because he is afraid that his sweetheart will be sinned, after all, he really has Chengye's child in his belly.

What she is most curious about now is that Narino will deny this child.

If she doesn't admit it, then she is really right to look down on Chengye.

If she admits it, then I didn't think that she would really be a matchmaker in this life, and she fulfilled Lu Jingzhu.

Count, did a good deed?

Thinking like this, she couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.

For some reason, she was sure that even if Chengye was forced to admit it, Lu Jingzhu's life would not be easy in the future.

After all, this means that he is worthy of being a concubine.

This is a big joke for a prince, and it is also a great insult.

"Also, the slave maid told you last time that the master I met in the pawn office came to find the slave maid today," Chu Yu said again at this time.

Lu Guanlan came back to his senses and raised his eyes to look at Chu Yu, "Oh? ”

Chu Yu continued: "He said that his master hopes that the promise you promised them, Miss, will be fulfilled soon, it is not only a transaction, but also a transaction." ”

Lu Guanlan smiled, but did not speak.

Come to think of it, Wen Ruofei was really anxious, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed her like this.

It's just that she really has something to do, and I'm afraid she won't be able to do it in the first place.

After thinking about it, he said to Chu Yu: "Then you go to the pawn office again tomorrow and tell his master, and say that when I do it, I will complete this promise as soon as possible." ”

Hatsuyu nodded his head.

At this time, I suddenly remembered what I heard on the street, raised my eyes to look at Lu Guanlan, and lowered my eyes again, not knowing whether to say it for a while.

Lu Guanlan found that Chu Yu looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, thinking that Chu Yu had something else to report, so he asked, "But what else is going on?" ”

The first words of the heart are like this, is there anything to be embarrassed about? Or—looking for her help?

Chu Yu raised his head to look at Lu Guanlan again when he heard this, but he was still a little embarrassed, and hesitated and did not speak.

"But it doesn't hurt to say anything," Lu Guanlan smiled lightly.

Chu Yu frowned slightly, and said a little: "Slave maid······ When the slave and maid went out into the street today, they heard ······ I heard someone say that General Li ······ him He's almost on the outskirts of Beijing······"

After saying this, Chu Yu buried his head back again.

Ah Li was also taken aback when she heard this, and immediately involuntarily turned her head to look at the young lady.

Lu Guanlan didn't have the slightest difference on his face, as if what he heard was just an ordinary anecdote in the market.

Ah Li breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The master will be back later, Chu Yu, you should go and stare at the gate, and if there is any news, you can come back and report to the young lady." ”

As he spoke, he got up and picked up a soft cloth-wrapped hand warmer from the table, walked over to Chu Yu and handed it to Chu Yu, and whispered, "Go quickly." ”

Chu Yu also knew which pot he didn't open and which pot he didn't open, and when he saw Lu Guanlan's calm expression, he quickly listened to Ah Li's words, bowed his head towards Lu Guanlan, and went out with the stove.

Lu Guanlan turned his head to look out the window at this time, and just said softly: "The snow is falling heavily again." ”

It seems to be just emotional.

Ah Li turned around and saw Lu Guanlan's long eyelashes moving slightly, but the light in his eyes dimmed.

After seeing it, Ah Li quietly exited the door, leaving Lu Guanlan alone in the room.

At this time, let's let the young lady be quiet by herself.

After Lu Guanlan looked out the window and said this, he suddenly smiled.

She actually thought that he would feel cold.

After that, he felt ridiculous, how could he feel cold at this time.

If he arrives in Kyoto, how will she think of meeting him?

Beijing.

Zhang Sanzhi was bored lying in the carriage, lying on the empty coffin in front of him and eating cakes.

In front of him was the outskirts of Beijing, and he walked fast, although he arrived in Kyoto before the general, but if it was too early, it would not be timely.

In this way, he was a little embarrassed.

So, the son stopped here with a few henchmen around him, planning to send a letter to the general, know where the general has arrived this time, and then move again.

Just as he was thinking about it, Zhang Sanzhi suddenly heard a loud bang from the roof of the carriage.

The carriage also shook violently.

Zhang Sanzhi immediately lifted the curtain and saw his general standing on the roof of the carriage, and then lowered his head and stared at him with a smile on his face.

Zhang Sanzhi was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed: "Will ······ Son! I miss you! ”

Li Duan smiled, "When did my surname Jiang?" ”

Zhang Sanzhi smiled and said, "Fang Cai's subordinates still want to repair a book for you, I never thought you would ······ so quickly."

As he spoke, he suddenly felt incredible.

The general, who had come from the frontier, could not have caught up with them so quickly.

Immediately, his heart sank, and he said, "Should you ······ How many horses ran to death, right? ”

Li Duan looked at Zhang Sanzhi's face differently, thinking that Zhang Sanzhi was vigilant and defensive, but when he heard Zhang Sanzhi say such a sentence, he couldn't help frowning.

"If that's what you think, then those who are suspicious have a chance," said Li Quan, jumping off the roof of the carriage and getting into it.

After seeing the pitiful coffin, he frowned again.

Zhang Sanzhi said: "Don't I know you too well, whether the real general or the fake general standing in front of me can be seen at a glance." ”

Immediately, I caught a glimpse of Li Quan's eyes looking at the coffin, so he smiled again and said: "At that time, I was in a hurry to use it, and in the coffin shop in the nearest town, there was such a ready-made coffin, although it was for half-grown children, but we couldn't do without it, so we had to be decent." ”

Li Duan glared at Zhang Sanzhi, "If your coffin is brought to Your Majesty, do you believe that Your Majesty can give you another coffin, and it will make you lie down comfortably at that time." ”

Zhang Sanzhi coughed lightly when he heard this, "I was thinking, when I got to Beijing, I would like to go around the alley and buy another bite secretly." ”

Li Duan was almost angry with Zhang Sanzhi.

Not to mention that once they entered the capital, it would not be because of Zhang Sanzhi's report that they would know their whereabouts, once they entered Beijing, they would be noticed at any time.

Besides, he walked out the news that he was dead.

At this time, when you arrive in Kyoto, whether it is the people or the rest of the people who are interested, they will look at them all the way.

At this time, I went to buy a coffin, knowing that it was a suitable one for him, but I didn't know, I thought that Zhang Sanzhi was too sad, and felt that he had brought the general back to Kyoto, completed his mission, and planned to go with him in martyrdom.

After thinking about it, Li Duan shook his head and said, "What's wrong along the way?" ”
