Su Xi grew her mouth, she always thought that the current Ning Guogong was older than her father-in-law. But since his father-in-law is the son, why did his younger brother inherit the title in the end?

I only heard Lu Youzhen explain: "The Lu family has been the emperor's right-hand man since Emperor Taizu, as long as it is the emperor's wishes, the Lu family has nothing to disobey, so some people say that the Lu family is the most loyal dog under the emperor's seat."

"Grandfather is no exception, he is loyal to the emperor, and everything he does is based on the will of the emperor, the emperor favored the prince, so he sent his father to the prince to read, so my father and the prince can be said to have grown up together since childhood, and later became princelings.

"The second uncle is different, he doesn't have to attack the lord, his grandfather is more lenient in his control, and he is more casual in making friends. By chance, the second uncle became friends with the fourth prince, who is now the emperor.

"Back then, the four princes launched the palace to wash the East Palace, and the second uncle also participated, so after the four princes took control of the government, they did not take action against the Ningguo Mansion.

"After the death of the first emperor, my grandfather committed suicide by poisoning himself for the sake of his loyalty to the emperor and for the protection of the Lu family. After the fourth prince ascended the throne, he did not hold his father accountable for the sake of the second uncle's face, but only deprived him of the position of the son of the world, so that he could not enter Beijing for the rest of his life.

"Now the Ningguo Mansion is still the most loyal dog under the emperor's seat, and my father took us to Sifang City to live an ordinary life, of course, the emperor's eyeliner is indispensable in the house, and my father walks the dog and teases the birds every day in order to reassure the emperor, and lingers in the backyard.

"My father doesn't dare to mention these things now, they were all found out when I was investigating the murderer of my mother's relatives."

The Lu family has such a past, no wonder the Lu family has been living in a low-key manner for many years in Sifang City, this is because they are afraid that people will say that they have ulterior motives for interacting with local forces.

"It's been so many years, the emperor didn't investigate it at the time, how can he investigate it now, is something happening again?" Su Xi asked.

Lu Youzhen told him about the Longtu cavalry and the Longtu decree, he has thought a lot about it these days, if he still can't reverse the tragedy of the Lu family in the end, maybe he should let Su Xi go.

But every time he thought about it, his heart always hurt so much that he couldn't breathe. He didn't dare to look at Su Xi, hung his head and said, "Xi'er, if there is no news of the Longtu decree, you can go back to Su's house." ”

"What did you say?" Su Xi looked at him with round eyes, she didn't know that Lu Youzhen was thinking about her, but she didn't expect Lu Youzhen to give up so easily, give up hope of life, and give up on her.

"It's easy to marry me, isn't it, so it's easy to say what you want to say, isn't it?" Su Xi raised his voice and asked.

"No, Xi'er, I-"

"Don't explain," Su Xi interrupted him and said with a cold face, "I didn't expect you Lu You to be such a cowardly turtle with a shrunken head. ”

"Xi'er......" Lu Youzhen's eyes showed a hint of pleading.

"You said that you would always protect me, you said it yourself, if you give up, who can save you, if you die, others will bully me in the future, who can protect me?" Su Xi looked at Lu Youzhen with red eyes.

"Xi'er, don't cry, it's not the last moment yet," Lu Youzhen smiled reluctantly.

Bai Chao has no close people around him, and those who can speak a little bit in the capital have been invited to drink tea in the inner prison, and friends who have drunk and bragged with him on the rivers and lakes are now also targeted by people from all walks of life.

There is no news of the Longtu decree anywhere, so where did Lu Youzhen get the confidence to resolve the crisis of the Lu family.

"Lu Youzhen," Su Xi called, she looked at Lu Youzhen seriously and said, "I am your wife and a member of the Lu family, no matter what happens to the Lu family, I will always be a member of the Lu family." ”

As he spoke, he took Lu Youzhen's hand again, and said resolutely word by word: "Never let go." ”

Looking at the hands of the two of them, Lu Youzhen was speechless in a daze, and after a long time he breathed a sigh of relief and softened his body, he hugged Su Xi tightly, as if he wanted to melt her into his own blood and bones.

The atmosphere in the courtyard is still dull, but Lu Youzhen will no longer avoid Su Xi, they go in and out together as before, read books and do things together, and swim in the lake and enjoy the scenery together.

Even at night, the two are reluctant to go to sleep, preferring to sit on the roof and drink and admire the moon, as if they want to condense their lives in this minute.

That night, Lu Youzhen set up a small table on the roof again, holding a food box in one hand and Su Xi in the other, and the two of them put the wine and food away one by one, snuggling to enjoy this beautiful moment, but at this time an uninvited guest came.

"Yo, the two of you are really interested, so I envy my brother."

Before the person arrived, Lu Youzhen knew that it was Jiang Wumeng as soon as he heard it, and when he turned his head, he saw Jiang Wumeng in red stepping on the rubble.

"When did you come back?" Lu Youzhen asked.

"Just arrived," Jiang Wumeng sat down at the table with a stroke of his robe, and poured himself a glass of wine unceremoniously.

"Where did Second Brother Jiang go to play? I've been there for more than a month. Su Xi toasted him, she still liked this interesting Jiang Wumeng.

"Play? Your second brother and I have a lot of opportunities every day, but it's not like someone who doesn't care about everything and hugs his daughter-in-law every day. Jiang Wumeng looked at Lu Youzhen as he spoke, his face full of disgust.

"If you are envious, just say it, Xi'er has a sister who can introduce you to you."

Su Xi's sister? Jiang Wumeng couldn't help but think of Su Wenhan who was dressed as a woman, he shuddered, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm very happy alone." ”

Then he took out a basket of lychees from behind him and handed it to Su Xi: "I promised to send you lychees last time, and I brought some by the way on my trip to Lingnan this time. ”

Su Xi thanked her with a smile, and couldn't wait to peel one off and eat it, the sweet taste made her intoxicated, and peeled one for Lu Youzhen, but Lu Youzhen didn't like to eat anything too sweet, so Su Xi fed him, so he could eat some.

"It's not safe outside lately," Jiang Wumeng said thoughtfully, "I've heard about it, how are you at home?" ”

Jiang Wumeng's news was sometimes better than him, and Lu Youzhen was not surprised that he would know those things. He smiled bitterly and said, "The crown prince and the second prince are both in Sifang City, and the Lu family has been targeted. ”

Jiang Wumeng didn't answer, and silently drank several glasses of wine before saying, "Don't worry too much, maybe it will be fine in a few days." ”

"Who knows? There is wine today, and there is drunkness today. Lu Youzhen raised his glass and touched a glass with him.

"Don't worry, you'll definitely be fine," Jiang Wumeng said with certainty, "Our brothers' days are still long." ”

Lu You was really moved, he believed that if there was really such a day, Jiang Wumeng would definitely bring someone to rescue him, but he didn't want to involve this good brother.

Lu Youzhen said: "Life and death are fate, Su Xi and I have already seen it, you don't need to take risks for me, if there is really that day, take care of the Su family for us." ”

Jiang Wumeng knew that Lu Youzhen had misunderstood what he meant, so he paused slightly with his toast before he raised his head and drank it, and then stopped talking after saying "Say it again", and only poured wine with Lu Youzhen on his head.
