Chapter 31: Leaving the Prince's Mansion
Lu Xin looked at a large table full of dishes, but she had no intention of eating, and sat alone in a daze, Xuanyuan Rui came over and asked softly, "Why don't you have to eat yet?" But it's not done well? ”
Lu Xin said lightly: "I have no appetite, I don't want to eat."
Xuanyuan Rui immediately called the housekeeper and said, "Change all the dishes."
I saw that the butler was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "Yes, prince."
Seeing this, Lu Xin hurriedly stopped and said, "Rui, no, I'm just worried about my parents and family, so I'm .........!"
As soon as Lu Xin's words came out, the housekeepers and slaves were even more stunned, this woman actually called them the prince's name? That's so bold! It seems that in the heart of the prince, he is not an ordinary person.
Seeing Xuanyuan Rui waving his hand to signal everyone to retreat, he said softly to Lu Xin: "Xin'er, I have arranged for someone to find out the news, and I will definitely know the ins and outs tomorrow." You need to stabilize your mood and eat something at this time! ”
After he finished speaking, he took some vegetables and put them in Lu Xin's bowl, seeing that Lu Xin still didn't mean to move the chopsticks. He said, "Just eat a little with me, okay?"
Seeing that he cared so much about himself, Lu Xin couldn't bear to refuse his kindness again. So, they ate it, and Xuanyuan Rui looked at her well-behaved and obedient appearance, and felt satisfied.
Lu Xin couldn't sleep at night no matter what, all she thought about was that her family was suffering, she thought of her mother, she thought of her sister-in-law. They are all pampered and weak women, how can they endure this prison? There is also a careful liver in the hearts of the family, her lovely nephew boy Yang, he is still so young, why is he guilty? Why is it that the ancient laws and dogmas are so chilling and disregard for the lives of others?
She thought that she was now a prisoner of the imperial court, and she was worried that it would affect Xuanyuan Rui. And the Lu family committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, if it is found that she is hiding in the prince's mansion of another country, isn't it equivalent to confirming the crime of the Lu family? She analyzed and analyzed, and always felt that it was inappropriate. She decided to leave, otherwise the Lu family would have no chance to turn over.
Thinking so, she went to find Xuanyuan Rui, Xuanyuan Rui's dormitory was next to the Chasing Bird Pavilion, and after being informed by the housekeeper, Lu Xin walked directly into the inner hall. She saw Xuanyuan Rui dressed in civilian clothes, sitting on a mahogany desk and looking at the book.
When Xuanyuan Rui saw Lu Xin come in, he smiled and asked, "Why hasn't Xin'er gone to bed yet?"
Lu Xin didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "I came to say goodbye to you, I ............!"
After hearing this, Xuanyuan Rui hurriedly got up, approached her side and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?" Don't you want to wait for news from your family? The government is arresting you, isn't it tantamount to throwing yourself into the net when you go out? ”
Of course, Lu Xin understood what he said, she said: "It's not that I'm going to the criminal department, I'm going to meet the emperor and avenge my Lu family, I can't just sit here and wait, do nothing, just watch my family suffer in prison."
Xuanyuan Rui was very angry when he heard this, and he said disdainfully: "Ignorance, have you ever thought about how to redress your grievances after you go out?" Do you have any evidentiary reasons to overturn it? I'm afraid that before you get close to the palace gate, you will be arrested and imprisoned with them. ”
Lu Xin didn't listen, she stubbornly said, "So what? I can't just stay here, even if I'm captured with them, I'm willing. Lu Xin complained bitterly, she just wanted to leave to find them, she was afraid of losing that home, whether she was really their daughter or not, but what she had in her body was their blood, and she could feel their kindness to herself.
Xuanyuan Rui grabbed Lu Xin's shoulders and pulled them in front of him, let Lu Xin look at him, and said, "Do you know how sad and sad your father and mother will be if you are willing?" They may be glad that you are not involved, they wish you went as far as possible, the Lu family of 106 people, don't you think you have died enough? ”
Xuanyuan Rui analyzed like this, hoping that Lu Xin would dispel the idea of leaving, but Lu Xin was very stubborn, she looked at Xuanyuan Rui and sobbed and shouted: "I don't care, I don't care, I can't lose them, otherwise I will have nothing in this world."
At this time, Lu Xin was completely overwhelmed by emotions, and Xuanyuan Rui still persuaded him: "Xin'er, you listen to me calmly first, the crime of treason with the enemy has been convicted, and the holy decree has been issued, and three days later, the Lu family will be beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market." If you go out, you will be sent to death, and I will not let you out. ”
When Lu Xin heard this, the whole person was stunned. She looked at Xuanyuan Rui in disbelief, she knew that the holy decree really couldn't be saved, she felt extremely painful, she shook her head in disbelief. She only learned of their imprisonment at noon, and in the evening came the news that they were going to be beheaded. She weakly held Xuanyuan Rui's arm and muttered, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it, it's not true, how can this be?" She didn't cry, but her tears kept flowing.
At this moment, Lu Xin was heartbroken.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Rui took revenge on his mother, but his heart was not happy, and all his joys, sorrows and sorrows changed because of her.
Xuanyuan Rui looked at Lu Xin's painful struggle, so heartbroken. originally thought that he should be happy to relieve his hatred when he beheaded Lu Xiang. But at this time, he didn't realize the slightest joy, and some of them were all unspeakable. He didn't know how to comfort her? He wanted to tell Xin'er that she still had him to rely on and that he would take care of her. But at this time, he is her enemy who destroyed the door, how can he say such a thing?
Xuanyuan Rui finally did not let Lu Xin leave the prince's mansion. Lu Xin also obediently listened to Xuanyuan Rui's words and lay down to rest in the Chasing Bird Pavilion.
On this night, although Lu Xin obeyed Xuanyuan Rui's words, she agreed to stay in the prince's mansion. But she took advantage of the middle of the night, left a note, and smuggled away.
