Xu Lan led the way in front of her, and Guiren entered the main hall with the support of Ah Xun, and Lu Huiling sat on the main seat, as if he didn't look up at her unintentionally, pretending that he didn't see it.

The noble man walked in, and when he saw that Lu Huiling didn't look up at her, the strange thoughts of arrogance in his heart began to attack again, and he always felt that Lu Huiling deliberately looked down on her.

But his position is relatively below Lu Huiling, even if he is bored in his heart, and no matter how dissatisfied he is with Lu Huiling's emotions, he still has to step forward and bow his head and salute.

"The concubine asks Concubine Ming to say goodbye, Concubine Ming is blessed with Jin'an." The nobleman stepped forward and slowly curtsied to Lu Huiling, who was bowing his head and playing with his sleeves.

Xu Lan bypassed them, leaned against the wall and walked to Concubine Ming's side, leaned over and whispered, "Niangniang, the noble man is here." ”

In this way, Lu Huiling slowly raised her head, and her gestures were unruly and domineering, which made the nobles who didn't like Lu Huiling bored, and they didn't know why Lu Huiling suddenly came to her.

"Yo, the noble man is here, look at the eyes of this palace, why haven't you seen it." Lu Huiling smiled, with a hypocritical look on his face, "Get up, Xu Lan, show the nobles tea." ”

Ah Xun slowly helped the nobleman to get up, bent his knees for too long, the nobleman had not eaten for a long time, and couldn't help but stumble, and Ah Xun almost couldn't help her.

"Oh, noble man, slow down." Lu Huiling said deliberately in a fuss.

Before the nobles came, Lu Huiling knew that the nobles didn't think about tea and food in the past few days, and they sat in the Lanyuan Pavilion and cried all day long, worried about their fathers and brothers.

After the nobles sat down, Lu Huiling said with a smile: "If you are according to the concubine position, you should call the palace a sister, but if you look at the time and age of entering the palace, the palace should call you a sister, this time it will be confusing." ”

The nobleman raised his head and looked at Lu Huiling in surprise, although he didn't have much contact with her, he also knew that Lu Huiling was by no means a good person, and now he deliberately got close to himself, there must be something.

"The concubine is afraid, Concubine Ming can call her whatever she wants." The noble man said humbly.

Lu Huiling looked at the nobleman and smiled, obviously feeling that the nobleman was a little hostile and alienated from him, and he also knew in his heart that the nobleman was very dissatisfied with him, but Lu Huiling could guarantee that after she said what she was going to say, the nobleman should be grateful to her, as if facing her parents.

"Then since you and I are both called sisters, then this palace will call you sister, right? I don't know my sister's name. Lu Huiling said knowingly.

From this sentence alone, the nobleman felt Lu Huiling's contempt, and he was soft-spoken, but now he doesn't even know his name.

"The concubine doesn't dare to insult the golden ear of the mother, and the mother calls the concubine Yin Zhi." Guiren said with a far-fetched smile to Lu Huiling.

"Yin Zhi, good name." Lu Huiling smiled, "Since Sister Yin Xue is older than this palace, then this palace will call you a sister." ”

"Don't dare to be, if the mother doesn't dislike it, just call the concubine Yin Zhi." The nobleman hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, looking flattered.

Lu Huiling looked at her and smiled, then pretended to ponder for a while, and said, "Sister Yin, Ling Zun is Lord Yin of the Five Grades Thousand Households?" ”

Lu Huiling pretended to be surprised, as if she only knew that the two were father and daughter, but in her heart, the relationship network between the harem and the court had already been firmly remembered in her mind, and she was afraid that one day she would be able to use this relationship network.

Xue Guiren heard Lu Huiling unintentionally mention her father, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she knew that Lu Huiling could often enter the Qinzheng Palace to serve the emperor to review and read the folds, if she saw her father's name intentionally or unintentionally, it would be normal, recently, my father and those officials who were corrupt with my father, and the frequent documents were piled up in front of the emperor's case, and it has been several days.

"Exactly. It's hard for the mother to remember. The nobleman forcibly suppressed the sorrow in his heart, and admitted it with no expression, neither humility nor arrogance.

Lu Huiling shook his head with pity, sighed and said, "Really, this kind of thing happened to Lord Yin Qianhu, presumably Sister Yin Xue didn't feel good in her heart." In the past few days, when my father entered the palace to see the palace, he also mentioned Ling Zun's name, and Sister Yin Zhi also knew that there was such a big thing in the court, and my father, as the prime minister, naturally had to do it himself, but my father said that all this still needs to be investigated, and if it is found that the amount is not much, it can only be regarded as an accomplice, and he only took off the black gauze hat, so that the heads of the people on the item will not fall to the ground together... But I don't know, how much is Yin Zhi's sister's father greedy? If it's a place where this palace can help, sister, don't be polite, you and this palace are sisters, what's the matter, talk to this palace, why bother yourself? ”

Lu Huiling's words are high-sounding, just like the two have known each other for many years and are already sisters who have been together for a long time.

Lu Huiling made this sisterhood did not impress the nobles, but when Lu Huiling said that her father was being investigated and sentenced, all the pain in her heart was surging, and she couldn't suppress it, she remembered the humble and pleading attitude and eyes when her mother entered the palace to see her, hoping that she could help go to the emperor to intercede, they put all their hopes on the nobleman alone, but they didn't know that she was also struggling in the palace, and she couldn't help crying under the impetus of all emotions.

Ah Xun behind her saw that her master was crying, still in front of Concubine Ming, she couldn't help but panic, she hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears for the nobleman.

Lu Huiling looked at all this calmly, she was not surprised by this, but it was as she expected, she waited for the moment when the nobleman broke down, and when she looked up at a person with a powerful family and who could speak in front of the emperor, when a person was in a desperate situation, she would grasp the life-saving straw in front of her.

Lu Huiling sat up straight, her eyes did not leave the body of the noble man for a moment, she was waiting for the noble lady to say the words of plea to her in person.

Xu Lan stood aside, watching the noble man crying with her head down, and then at Concubine Ming's calm face, she couldn't help but feel worried and scared, she didn't know what would happen next.

After crying for a while, the nobleman raised his head and stood up, walked up to Lu Huiling, and knelt down.

Her move frightened everyone on the spot.

Ah Xun didn't know why, but when he saw his master kneeling, he hurriedly knelt behind the nobleman and bowed down.

Xu Lan hurriedly stepped forward to help the nobleman, but seeing that Concubine Ming's face was still unfazed, she stretched out her hand and took it back.

Xue Guiren's face was full of tears, her eyes revealed despair and helplessness, she was no longer going to guess what Lu Huiling would let her do, for now she just wanted to do her best to protect her family.

Guiren knew in her heart that according to the huge amount of money embezzled by her father, she was afraid that she would have to be cut off all over the house, but Guiren couldn't bear it in her heart, and she desperately wanted to help her father make up for the shortfall.

But he pawned all the valuable things in Lanyuan Pavilion, and wanted to try his best to make up for some shortfalls before he found his father, but that money was a drop in the bucket for his father's corruption, and it was not worth mentioning.

However, after his father embezzled money, he paid off all his gambling debts, and after that, he kept gambling, although he was a five-product thousand households in Beijing, and he was also majestic when he said that he was a Beijing official, but there was really no rice in the house, and I don't know how my mother survived these years.

When the nobleman thought of this, he couldn't cry himself.

Lu Huiling pretended to be surprised and looked at the nobleman with wide eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up: "Sister Yin, what are you doing here?" This palace calls you sister, why do you make this big gift to this palace? If there is something you get up and say, you are like this, and this palace cannot afford it. ”

The noble man refused to get up, looked at Lu Huiling with red eyes and cried, and said: "Concubine Ming, please save the lives of the concubine's family!" ”

As he spoke, he leaned over and kowtowed.

His posture is humble, and he is like the arrogant nobleman who entered the door.

"What is this that Sister Yin Xue said, you get up first, get up and talk about it." Lu Huiling still pretended to be a good person and helped the nobleman, and then looked at Xu Lan, "What are you still stunned about, quickly help the nobleman to get up." ”

When Xu Lan heard this, she hurriedly stepped forward to hold the hand of the nobleman, and she was able to help her up, and Ah Xun also hurriedly stepped forward to support her master, and helped the nobleman to the seat with Xu Lan.

The noble man sat in the seat, still crying, she looked at Lu Huiling and pleaded pitifully: "Niangniang, the concubine's father did something wrong, this is irreparable, but the concubine, as the daughter of the second elder, really can't bear to see them leave this world before they have enjoyed the joy of family, leaving the concubine alone..."

Lu Huiling listened to what the nobleman said, and his face also made a look of great sadness, and his eyes slowly moistened, as if he was going to cry with the nobleman in the next second.

When the nobleman said this, he got up and knelt on the ground again, and said to Lu Huiling: "The concubine knows that the mother has great powers and is favored by the emperor. The concubine tried everything she could, but there was still nothing she could do, but if she had her mother to help, she only needed to talk to Prime Minister Lu Cheng to save the lives of the concubine's family. There is no need for glory and wealth, just to keep them alive... Mother, the concubine begs you..."

After that, there was another bang: "If the mother is willing to help save the lives of my family... The life of the concubine is the mother's, and she is willing to go to the soup for the mother in this life, and she will not give up. ”
