Rong Li and Lu Nanjun also waited in the house early in the morning, and when they saw Lu Xuan coming in, Lu Nanjun hurriedly stepped forward and handed her a soup woman, "It's cold outside, my brother must have frozen when he got up early in the morning and tossed around." ”

Lu Xuan took it and smiled worriedly.

Cui Shi saw that something was wrong with Lu Xuan, frowned, and said suspiciously, "Ah Xuan, what's wrong?" Could it be that today is not going well in the court? ”

When Lu Nanjun heard this, he also frowned and smashed his fist, "Is that King Chang bullying you again?" He was originally biased towards those people in the Shu Branch, brother, now that you have the fierce king as a backer, if the king dares to do anything to you again, you can go and talk to His Royal Highness the fierce king! ”

Lu Nanjun's words were full of indignation, but Lu Xuan couldn't help shaking his head and chuckling.

"Okay, it has nothing to do with King Chang," Lu Xuan said, sighing lightly, "It's the epidemic in Jiangnan, and the emperor intends to let me go to deal with it." ”

As soon as her words fell, everyone in the room was stunned on the spot.

Rong Li was the first to react, his brows furrowed tightly, "No, the epidemic is too terrible, Ah Xuan, you have always been in bad health, how can you go to that kind of place?" ”

Cui Shi also came back to his senses, and began to wipe his tears, sobbing quietly, "Ah Xuan, no, my mother can't let you go to that kind of place to take risks, that is, you don't want this official position, you don't want the future of the Lu family, you can't go, tomorrow you will go and resign from the emperor, even if you don't join my Lu family, you can do well!" ”

Lu Xuan had already guessed that she would react violently when she talked to them about this, and she was thinking about how to speak all the way back, but now it seems that it is indeed like what she thought before.

Officialdom is not child's play, it is not what she wants, if the emperor really gives an order, it is a crime to resist the decree if she does not go.

Lu Xuan took a deep breath and pretended to smile lightly, "Okay, the emperor just intended to let me go, this matter has not been finalized, maybe tomorrow the emperor will find someone else." ”

Although Lu Xuan said this, he knew that Emperor Liang Qin would probably not change his mind.

If it weren't for Gu Huanli's last sentence today, probably the matter of her going to Jiangnan would have been decided a long time ago, although Emperor Liang Qin said that he thought about it again, he should have already made a certain number in his heart.

As soon as she left like this, the Lu family had no one to rely on, and what Lu Xuan was most afraid of was that Lu Qingmeng and those people from the Shu branch came to bully the Cui family.

After all, those people are bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and she was still eyeing her when she was there, not to mention after she left.

It seems that there are some things that need to be prepared in advance.

After comforting Cui Shi a few more words, so that she could rest assured for the time being, Lu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and went back to his room.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, and it was Rong Li's at the door.

Seeing Rong Li, Lu Xuan was not surprised by it, and chuckled, "My cousin came just right, and the tea was ready." ”

Rong Liao raised his eyebrows slightly, "You knew I would come?" ”

Lu Xuan shrugged her shoulders noncommittally, according to her understanding of Rong Li, Rong Li would not easily agree to this matter, but he didn't say anything in the main hall just now, and probably guessed that she didn't want to worry about Cui's.

She got up, pushed the lied wheelchair into the room, and poured him another cup of tea.

Rong Li took the tea, but he didn't have the heart to taste it, put it aside, and frowned, "There is really no room for turning around in this matter?" ”

Lu Xuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "No." ”

The epidemic in Jiangnan originally broke out two months ago, but the local prefect kept the matter down and did not report it to the imperial court, who knew that the epidemic was getting more and more serious, and by now, most of Jiangnan has fallen.

The Jiangnan prefect left this mess and died by himself, but Emperor Liang Qin always had to find someone to clean it up.

Speaking of which, if there is no intentional recommendation of the prince, I am afraid that the first thing that Emperor Liang Qin thinks of will not be her.

Lu Xuan sneered, this prince is really as ruthless as in the previous life, she is a hot talent, if the prince can't get it, he would rather be ruined than let her fall under someone else's door.

Rong Li was much calmer than Lu Nanjun and Cui's, hesitated again and again, but still sighed lightly, "That is the case, tomorrow I will secretly protect you with the people of the Rong family, and go to Jiangnan with you, so that we can take care of each other." ”

Lu Xuan waved his hand lightly, "Cousin, don't worry, if I go to Jiangnan, the emperor should assign me some accompanying troops, and those people from the Rong family will stay in the capital, so as to protect the Lu Mansion." ”

If she leaves, the burden of the house will all fall on Rong Li's hands.

Rong Li was slightly stunned for a moment, and after understanding Lu Xuan's meaning in the next moment, he nodded heavily and patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, Ah Xuan, you can go to Jiangnan with peace of mind and come back safely, everything here is left to me, even if I fight hard, I will protect Lu Mansion safe and sound." ”

With Rong Li's words, she was much more relieved, but it was not enough, Lu Xuan squinted slightly, and there were some things she still had to entrust to others.

……

The murderous king's mansion at this moment.

Gu Huanli sat casually on the first place, his fingers lightly clasped the tabletop, and there was silence around him.

The prince sat aside, his palms were slightly sweaty, and he hung his head and didn't dare to look at Gu Huanli.

I don't know how long it took, Gu Huanli suddenly moved, stood up, and walked in front of the prince.

"The Emperor...... Uncle Huang. The prince was so frightened that he subconsciously wanted to stand up, but was pressed back by Gu Huanli.

As soon as he got out of the early court, the prince received a message, saying that the fierce king had invited him to the palace to talk.

His Royal Highness the Fierce King has always been indifferent to people, rarely close to people, and he is even unwilling to look at these royal relatives and nobles.

just called him over after Lu Xuan's incident, and the prince only thought about it for a while, and then understood the reason.

It's just that he originally thought that Gu Huanli had a casual temperament and wouldn't care about these things, so he had the courage to openly promote Lu Xuan above the court, but he never thought that Gu Huanli would take care of these trivial things.

The prince swallowed his saliva in fright, looked at Gu Huanli nervously, and couldn't even speak.

The corners of Gu Huanli's lips curled slightly, he looked the prince up and down, and then said meaninglessly, "You did a good job in today's court." ”

If someone who is familiar with Gu Huanli is here, they will definitely know that Gu Huanli's current laughter is very dangerous.

"Uncle Huang, I just think that the article on the last palace examination in the history of Lu Shuling was very exciting, so I moved such a thought, and I didn't mean anything else." The prince arched his hand and cautiously explained.

Gu Huanli glanced at him with slanted eyes, his face unchanged, "Really? ”

The crown prince nodded again and again, "Naturally, it's true, don't dare to deceive the imperial uncle." ”

With a "snap", as soon as Gu Huanli's hand was released, the jade cup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces.

With this voice, the prince was agitated and looked at Gu Huanli at a loss.

"You'd better pray that what you said is true," Gu Huanli's expression turned cold, and a faint murderous aura lingered throughout his life, "This king is the most protective person, if you let this king know that you have any thoughts that you shouldn't have in the future, this king will definitely kill you." ”

Others said that if they wanted to kill the crown prince of the dynasty, they might be regarded as arrogant and crazy people, but when these words came out of Gu Huanli's mouth, people had to believe that they were true.

Cold sweat oozed from the prince's forehead, and he knew that since Gu Huanli had let go of his words, he would be able to do what he said.

"The Emperor...... Uncle Huang, please rest assured, I won't have any thoughts that I shouldn't have, everything I do is also for the sake of the country. He replied tremblingly.

"Master, Lord Lu has come to visit." As he was talking, Lin Xiao came in from outside and arched his hand.

As soon as he heard Lu Xuan's name, Gu Huanli's expression changed.

He glanced back at the prince, "What are you doing here?" ”

Seeing that Gu Huanli was finally ready, the prince breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Uncle Huang, I'll come to see you another day." ”

After that, he didn't even stop for a moment, and left as if fleeing.

At this time, Lu Xuan had been led in by the subordinates of the Murderous King's Mansion, and was running into the prince who had fled.

Seeing the prince, Lu Xuan was slightly stunned, how could he be here at Gu Huanli at this time?

"Lord Lu, the prince is affectionate." was in a daze, Lin Wei at the door suddenly spoke.

Lu Xuan's thoughts were pulled back to reality, nodded hurriedly, and followed Lin Wei in.

The mess on the ground had been cleaned up, Gu Huanli sat back in the first place, and smiled lightly when he saw Lu Xuan coming in.

"Lu Shulingshi, sit."

Lu Xuan nodded slightly, and randomly found a place close to the door to sit down.

Gu Huanli frowned a little displeased when he saw it, "Lu Shuling Shi is disgusted with this king, and he is doing so far?" ”

Gu Huanli's question came too suddenly, Lu Xuan didn't react for a while, looked at him in a daze, and then shook his head and said, "The prince forgives the sin, it's just that the villain has been thinking about things all the way, and he has forgotten the rules for a while." ”

She said, but her ass didn't move.

Gu Huanli snorted lightly and stopped talking.

Cautiously looking up at Gu Huanli, Lu Xuan's heart was a little apprehensive, thinking of what she was going to say, she suddenly felt a little bottomless.

"Gu Shulingshi came to find this king today, but it's for the matter of Jiangnan?" Just as he was thinking about how to speak, Gu Huanli had already asked first.

Lu Xuan nodded and shook his head again.

"Yes and no." As she spoke, she observed Gu Huanli's expression and saw that there was nothing unusual in his expression, so she continued, "Xiaosheng wants to ask you to take more care of the villain's family during the time when the villain leaves." ”

When Gu Huanli heard this, he glanced at her with some surprise.

He had also heard about the things in the Lu family's branches, so he naturally knew what Lu Xuan's mouth meant.

In fact, even if Lu Xuan didn't speak, he would have ordered someone to arrange these things, but now seeing Lu Xuan's cramped appearance, Gu Huanli suddenly had a bit of teasing thoughts in his heart.
