Chapter 209: Thorny

"I think he's right, since you have decided to be with Shen Xi, you have to be responsible for her and protect him." After Father Lu heard that Lu Qingyi was back, he also came, which was the first thing he said.

Although Lu's father married two wives, if Mrs. Ru was married after Lu Qingyi's mother died, he may not be a good father, but he can be regarded as a good husband, otherwise after knowing that Mrs. Ru had done so many things to be sorry for him, he would not have just let her go back to his hometown.

He is grateful to Mrs. Ru no matter what, she has helped him support this family for so many years, and as for Mrs. Ru's later results, she is also to blame, and she can't complain about Father Lu.

"I didn't expect you to be able to say such things, if my mother heard it, she would be more relieved under Jiuquan." Lu Qingyi glanced at Father Lu, the relationship between him and Father Lu had improved greatly, but his mother's death had always been between them.

"Alas......"

Father Lu let out a long sigh, "I know you've been investigating the cause of your mother's death, but even if you find out, what? Didn't you get yourself in trouble? Your mother doesn't want you to be like this, and you spend every day in danger. ”

"I told you at the beginning, don't go after the cause of her death, you have to listen! Do you have to put your life into it to know that you regret it? Take 10,000 steps back, your life is not important, what about Shen Xi? How innocent she was! ”

Father Lu knew that Shen Xi was Lu Qingyi's weakness, so he took Shen Xi's life as an example.

Lu Qingyi also knew that Shen Xi should not be involved, if he hadn't let her move to the capital at the beginning, maybe she would be selling books in her own town and living a peaceful life now, but now it's too late to say anything.

As long as one foot has stepped into this abyss, it is almost impossible to get out.

So even if this road is full of thorns, they have to grit their teeth and go on, in this battle for succession, they can only win, they can't afford to lose.

"You also have to take care of yourself, don't die when the real murderer doesn't die, you yourself die first." Father Lu also knew Lu Qingyi's stubbornness, and it was useless to say it, so he told this sentence and left, even though his words were ugly, but it was reasonable.

Before Lu Qingyi went to bed, he glanced at Shen Xi, Shen Xi was sleeping peacefully, and after drinking the medicine, his face looked much more ruddy.

Shen Xi only slept until midnight and woke up, the first thing she did when she woke up was to go to Lu Qingyi's room to see if he was there, pushed open the door, walked to Lu Qingyi's bedside, and was relieved to see that he was sleeping peacefully.

She covered Lu Qingyi with a quilt and was about to leave, but her hand was grabbed by Lu Qingyi, she wanted to get it open, but he grabbed it very tightly, and she was worried that he would wake up, so Shen Xi simply sat down on the edge of the bed.

She only vaguely remembered that it was Lu Qingyi who went into the water to save her, and remembered the sound of swords colliding, she almost thought that she couldn't survive, looking at Lu Qingyi, Shen Xi felt a lot of emotion in her heart.

Counting up, Lu Qingyi didn't know how many times he saved her.

Shen Xi stayed by Lu Qingyi's bed for a long time before Lu Qingyi let go, and then she got up and left gently, for fear of waking Lu Qingyi up.

In the early morning of the second day, the carriage and horses had been prepared outside the Lu Mansion to pick up Luo Han and them into the palace, Shen Xi originally Lu Qingyi would not let her go, Shen Xi insisted on going, but he couldn't resist it, so he should go.

It's just that Lu Qingyi can't wait to put the quilt on Shen Xi's body, for fear that she will be cold. Dancing God eBook

Yiluo and Yizhuang shared a carriage, Chang Yi and Luohan, Lu Qingyi was naturally with Shen Xi, although it was only to enter the palace for Chinese New Year's Eve, but the line was very long, Feng Sheng rode in front to take the lead, and Fu Chuan followed Lu Qingyi's carriage to catch the horse.

The snow had long since stopped, and even the sun was out, and the snow along the way was swept aside, so the team went smoothly.

Entering the palace, it is even more so, there is almost no snow on the ground everywhere you see, Shen Xi opened the curtains and looked at the snow on the trees and the roof, which still covered the entire palace, but because of the sun, it always looked like it had a different flavor.

When you get to your destination, this place is the most spacious place in the palace, and no one usually comes, and only on this occasion.

Shen Xi got out of the carriage and felt a little incredible when he looked at this vast grassland, and outside the palace was a big mountain, which was located in the most remote place of the palace and the closest place to the outside of the palace, so the guard was very strict, and you could see a sentry post after walking a few steps, maybe it was someone who took the opportunity to sneak attack.

Either it is to prevent those concubines who have different intentions and want to escape from the palace.

Although this place is beautiful, no one dares to come to appreciate it, and Shen Xi sighed again.

Because it was Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone's faces were full of smiles, the emperor and the empress and the concubines sat down early, Chang Qing saw Shen Xi, waved to her excitedly, and Shen Xi also smiled back to her.

"Today's Chinese New Year's Eve is a day to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and Shu has arranged many entertainment programs, so that the envoys can open up and have fun." It was probably Chinese New Year's Eve, so the emperor, who had never been angry and arrogant, looked much kinder than usual.

Shen Xi was secretly looking at the queen, the prince's injury was a hurdle in her heart, even if Concubine Chen was now imprisoned in the cold palace, she must be unwilling in her heart, and the prince has not returned to Beijing until now, and the queen must still have hatred for her.

"Father, my son heard that Lu Gongzi is excellent in martial arts, why don't you ask him to compete with Ambassador Chu Han in the last round?" Chang Wen was the first to stand up and propose, although he lowered his head, he still couldn't stop the sharpness in his eyes.

He kept looking at where Lu Qingyi was sitting, he stayed underwater for so long last night, plus the previous burns, he must have consumed a lot of energy, if he lost today's game, Chu State would lose face, and the emperor would blame him for no reason.

"Second Prince, this ambassador has also heard that the Second Prince's martial arts are good, why don't we come and learn from each other?" Luo Han stood up and looked at Chang Wen with a smile on his face.

Chang Wen didn't expect Luo Han to propose a martial arts competition with him, he didn't know anything about Luo Han's martial arts, so he hesitated.

"What, is it possible that the second prince is afraid of this?" Luo Han saw that Chang Wen didn't speak, so he asked with a smile.

"It's just that I heard that the ambassador is superb in martial arts, but this prince is not proficient in learning, if he is compared with the ambassador, he still needs someone like Lu Gongzi to come with martial arts." Chang Wen also responded calmly.

Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi on the side were like watching a play, Lu Qingyi was secretly glad that Luo Han was good to Shen Xi for some reason, so he didn't make enemies with them.

One of the reasons why Luo Han came to Chu must be to check it, and now Chu Han has attracted the attention of the three major countries, even if no one dares to move now, it does not mean that no one will dare to move in the future.

Luo Han listened to Chang Wen's answer, but he began to become serious, he stared at Chang Wen with a solemn face, and said coldly, "The second prince has been pushing this ambassador towards Lu Gongzi, is this looking down on Luo Han?" ”
