Chapter 25: The Lu family is in trouble
Lu Xin introduced her and Rui to Zhang Daquan and his wife from the beginning. The two were robbed by bandits when they went out for business, and they were seriously injured and fell off the cliff. Of course, she also told Xuanyuan Rui about the wording of the lie she made, and asked him to cooperate with her to continue acting until she was injured and left.
In Shuxinguo, it is necessary for men and women to live in the same room only as husband and wife, Lu Xin was forced to tell a lie because of the environment at that time, she mainly didn't want Zhang Daquan and his wife to be embarrassed for their housing. She couldn't thank them enough to ask them to vacate a room for her and Xuanyuan Rui to live in.
After hearing this, Xuanyuan Rui also agreed with her and said, "I will be responsible for you."
When Lu Xin heard him say this, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, and said: "You just need to take me out of here after you are injured, when did I say that you will be responsible, and besides, a royal prince like you will never be my Lu Xin's lover."
Xuanyuan Rui thought that she would gladly accept what she proposed, after all, he had kissed her, and now they had been in the same room for many days, and they had all slept together. If it were another woman, if he didn't say so, it was estimated that the woman would die or die. He also said this out of the actions of a gentleman, and no matter how many concubines he had in his house, he would not be inferior to her, as for how he would treat her in the future, it would be another matter. Leaving her life to ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life can be regarded as worthy of her life-saving grace today.
Then he thought, "Is it because she already has a heart?" He immediately thought of Li Qingyuan, "She was originally Li Qingyuan's canonized concubine, and it is normal for her to like him, not to mention, who in the world can not love the king?" Since she doesn't want to accept it, let her go. However, Xuanyuan Rui was rejected by a woman for the first time, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart, especially feeling depressed in his heart, and he couldn't tell what it was like.
He asked solemnly, "How do you know that I must be a royal man?"
Lu Xin smiled slyly, and said in a tricky way: "I don't know! Why don't you tell me? ”
When Xuanyuan Rui heard this, he ignored her anymore. Seeing that he refused to say any more, Lu Xin still had a cold face and ignored people, she felt that she was bored. I thought to myself: "Why is this man so cold, always so rejecting people thousands of miles away." Was it true that all men in ancient times were like this? Then she remembered the first time she saw Qing.
In the palace of the new country, in the Yilan Palace, Lu Ya sat in front of the bronze mirror, her face was full of irrepressible excitement, and her delicate face looked even more charming and moving because she had been carefully whitewashed. More than an hour ago, the emperor's side came to report that the emperor had turned over her card, and she would come over after the discussion was over, so she could prepare well.
Lu Ya had only been in the palace for two days, and she never dreamed that she would be blessed by the emperor so soon. She was so flattered that it was finally time for her to raise her eyebrows. She admired herself in the mirror, she was confident, she thought, she was going to see the emperor in a while, and she couldn't help but be excited and nervous in her heart, this is what many women in the world dream of!
Li Qingyuan impatiently listened to the nagging old ministers in the council hall playing domestic affairs. He just wanted to end his departure as soon as possible and hurried to see Xin'er, since he knew that Xin'er had entered the palace yesterday, he was bent on seeing her. I don't know how long it took, the ministers finally left one after another, and Li Qingyuan said to Ming Gonggong: "Drive the Yilan Palace."
On the way there, Li Qingyuan thought a lot in his heart: "I haven't seen her for a few days, and my heart is full of longing, I wonder if she will miss herself so much" He couldn't help but think of the drunken words that Lu Xin said when he was drinking that day: "Does she really not want to enter the palace as a concubine?" Do you really not want to be the emperor's woman? If we meet later, will she blame herself for hiding her identity from her? I don't know what kind of expression she will have when she sees herself. He thought so in his heart, looking forward to it and struggling with it.
Outside the Yilan Palace, Ming Gonggong wanted to inform Lu Ya to come out to pick up the car, but was stopped by Li Qingyuan. He withdrew from everyone, strolled into the hall alone, and saw a beautifully dressed woman in the hall sitting in front of the mirror, as if she was grooming in the mirror, completely unaware of Li Qingyuan, who had already entered outside the door.
Li Qingyuan looked at the back in the room, and he thought, "Xin'er must be the most beautiful tonight."
He coughed lightly, attracting the attention of Lu Ya, who was dressing up in front of the mirror. But the moment Lu Ya turned around, Li Qingyuan's joy stopped abruptly. Lu Ya was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly got up and bowed: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live."
Li Qingyuan stood at the door, looking at the kneeling man in horror. At this moment, the sense of disparity in his heart made him at a loss, and the person he was in a hurry to see in the past two days was not the person in his heart.
Lu Ya knelt for a while, but she didn't see the emperor call her up, she didn't dare to raise her head to look at him, this was the rule taught before entering the palace, so she had to wait patiently.
Li Qingyuan put away the feeling of loss just now, and asked loudly: "You are Lu Xin, the daughter of the prime minister?"
Lu Ya was shocked and thought: "The holy decree did not specify Xin'er to enter the palace, why would the emperor know Xin'er's name?" She replied cautiously: "The concubine is indeed the daughter of the prime minister, her name is Lu Ya, and Xin'er is the sister of the concubine."
After Li Qingyuan listened, he finally knew what was going on, and he immediately brushed his sleeves away, leaving Lu Ya kneeling there with a blank face.
Li Qingyuan angrily returned to his dormitory and was furious. Gonggong Ming was anxious in his eyes, and he had never seen the emperor show his form like this, this time it was all because of the daughter of the prime minister's family. He hurriedly knelt down and said, "Please ask the emperor to calm his anger, don't be angry with the dragon body!"
Li Qingyuan shouted angrily: "Prime Minister Lu Cheng is empty-eyed, and today he actually sent the concubine woman into the palace as a concubine, disregarding his status and humility, and despising the laws of the court, does he think that I really can't help him?" Li Qingyuan has long been dissatisfied with the prime minister.
The next day, in the court, the faction of hostile forces with Prime Minister Lu Cheng presented a memorabilia about the Prime Minister's collaboration with the enemy and treason, and another official document stamped with the seal of Cheng Cheng. This is the powerful evidence of the prime minister's treason against the enemy.
Since Li Qingyuan ascended the throne, he has been unable to change his government and reform because of the few ministers left by the former emperor, especially the one-party forces headed by the prime minister who are the most opposed to his new policy. He had long wanted to suppress Lu Xiang, but he never found an opportunity. Now that there is evidence of treason against the enemy and the fact that he sent the children of his concubines into the palace, he can be justifiably removed. He immediately ordered the prime minister to be handed over to the Criminal Law Temple for review, and temporarily removed the prime minister from his position, and Lu Ya was also sent to the cold palace and postponed for disposal.
