Chapter 567: The Holy Will Is Difficult
The next morning, Lu Li still inevitably wanted to go to the early court, thinking that he killed Zhou Xuan, His Majesty would definitely not let go of this matter easily.
looked at Xiao Man next to the pillow, still sleeping quietly, not getting up in the morning to help Lu Li make up as usual, thinking that it was because the loss of the child hit her too hard.
Lu Li looked at Xiao Man, and felt a faint pain in his heart, but he could only dare to go to the Jinluan Palace, and when he arrived at the Jinluan Palace, the civil and military officials all talked about it when they saw Lu Li coming, and it seemed that the matter of him killing the imperial court official yesterday had been spread throughout Shangjing.
"The emperor has arrived."
Hearing the voice of the eunuch, the civil and military officials all knelt down respectfully, and the emperor sat on the first seat, with a faint sneer on his face.
"Flat."
Hearing this, everyone slowly stood up, and as soon as they stood up, there were already civil officials who were impatient to pull Lu Li off the horse and rectify it.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music, yesterday General Lu killed the imperial court officials in the city without an imperial order, which is really contempt for the emperor's authority, this is a great disrespectful behavior!"
The emperor didn't say a word, just looked at Lu Li, his eyes became gloomy and evil, as sharp as a knife blade, Lu Li naturally knew the emperor's current intentions, so he immediately knelt down and confessed.
"Weichen admits his mistake and asks the emperor to punish him."
Seeing Lu Li's grievances, some of the military generals in the court couldn't stand it, it was obvious that Zhou Xuan was too deceitful, and the emperor couldn't help but talk to the end, so they stood up one by one to plead for Lu Li.
"Your Majesty, General Lu was impulsive because Zhou Xuan insulted Mrs. Lu first."
Seeing the recklessness of the generals, Lu Li's heart became nervous again, if the generals didn't speak for him, wouldn't this speech prove his prestige in the court.
Sure enough, Lord Liu had insight into the situation in front of him, and immediately started to make an article about this matter.
"You military attachés are very loyal to Lord Lu."
A short sentence, to the point, the military attachés who said it were speechless for a while, after all, they are all people who fight on the battlefield, and they can win these civilian officials in terms of tongue.
"Hahahaha, what a big deal is this, it's obviously that Zhou Xuan, who disregards the law and discipline, and should be killed!"
Lu Li didn't expect that the high-ranking emperor actually sat on the dragon chair and laughed, but this smile Lu Li could be sure that it was not sincere, but just wanted to pretend to be in the court.
"Lu Li, you get up."
After Lu Li heard the emperor's words, he stood up, and the jealous eyes of the civil officials around him appeared, and there was nothing wrong with killing the court officials, and His Majesty was too fond of him.
Only the elders of the Three Dynasties like Lord Liu understand that people with power in the world can never talk about eternal trust, and if Lu Li is killed like this, the entire government and the opposition will regard him as a target.
"Lu Li, I want to reward you, it is you who have caused a great disaster for me!"
As soon as the emperor waved his hand, the eunuch understood and immediately ran out in a hurry, it seemed that the emperor had already prepared.
A moment later, a beautiful woman from the Western Regions walked up to the Jinluan Palace.
This beauty is wearing a red bed dress and a veil, but through the veil, you can faintly perceive her beautiful face, a pair of blue eyes, bright and transparent, such a beautiful exotic style, instantly conquered the civil and military officials present.
"Your Majesty."
As soon as this beauty saw Lu Li, it was like she had fallen into a love Gu, her eyes could no longer be taken away, and the emperor was very satisfied when he looked at this pair.
"This is Princess Sharia of the Western Regions, Lu Li, what do you think?"
Lu Li was in a slight daze, he had heard the name of Sharia before, it was said that she was the most beautiful princess in the Western Regions, but unfortunately it was only a princess, this time she came to Beijing to make peace.
"This, how can the minister evaluate the princess."
The emperor smiled, stepped off the stage, and stood in front of Lu Li, who suddenly felt the emperor's indisobedient majesty.
"Lord Lu, Sharia came from the Western Regions this time, not to make peace with the royal family, but to marry the most powerful hero of Donglan."
Lu Li gasped, this woman from the Western Regions is really enthusiastic, such a marriage can be said calmly in front of the civil and military officials, seeing that the emperor means that he is really ready to marry Sharia to himself.
The eyes of other officials began to be filled with flames, wanting to burn Lu Li to death, why could he marry such a beautiful princess even if he made a mistake.
"Your Majesty, the minister already has a wife, and besides, there are many heroes in our Donglan Kingdom, and there is more than one Lu Li."
Lu Li's excuse, Sha Li's mouth immediately pursed when she heard this, looking very unhappy.
"General Lu, is your wife more noble than Princess Ben?"
The emperor coughed twice, if it was her turn to be in status, this princess from the Western Regions might not be as good as Su Xiaoman, but fortunately, this princess could help her monitor Lu Li, and it would be great if she could divide Su Xiaoman and Lu Li.
"Okay, what's the need for this dispute between wives and concubines, our Donglan Kingdom also has a precedent for equal wives."
Lu Li became more and more panicked in his heart, Xiao Man had just lost his child, how could he marry a woman from the Western Regions and come back, wouldn't this stab Xiao Man again?
"Your Majesty, I..."
The emperor frowned, if it was difficult for a strong man like himself, it would not be good to spread it.
"Is Lord Lu afraid that Mrs. Lu will not be able to accept the princess, if so, it is better to call Mrs. Lu to ask, maybe it is Lord Lu's own villainous heart, our Mrs. Lu can be generous,"
Lord Liu fanned the flames on the side, the princess blinked, her eyes were full of anticipation, she also wanted to see what kind of woman it was, which would make Lu Li look down on her.
"Okay, according to what Liu Qing's family said, Mrs. Xuanlu, invite the queen again."
Of course, the queen still has to decide this kind of marriage, and soon the queen walked up to the Jinluan Hall with majestic steps, surrounded by the eunuchs and palace maids.
Originally, she was worried that the emperor would be confused by this stunning princess, but now, the emperor used the tribute of the Western Regions to contain this princess, so that she had to be willing to be the royal eyeliner.
With her entering the Lu house, Lu Li's every move, the emperor will know it clearly.
When the queen came, Pearl helped Su Xiaoman to enter the palace, Su Xiaoman's face was still very pale, and he didn't have any spirit at first glance.
Entering the hall, Shari saw that Su Xiaoman was actually such a sick woman, although she looked quite small and jade, but she still lost a step compared to herself, and she didn't know why Lu Li liked such a person.
"Courtiers meet the emperor, queen."
"Get up."
The queen's tone was gentle, and the two dimples on her face were deep, looking very kind.
"Xiaoman, you see that you and Lu Ion's heirs are scarce, today I will give Lu Li the Sharia from the Western Regions, as a flat wife, what do you think?"
Hearing the queen say this, Xiao Man's steps became unsteady, Pearl hurriedly held Xiao Man firmly, and looked at Sharia twice, this alien princess has a first-class personality and appearance, and she can't find a reason to refuse at all.
"It's... The Lu family is afraid that they have wronged the princess. ”
"I don't feel wronged, besides, isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, you can't force General Lu to guard you alone for the rest of your life."
Sharia was innocent, she didn't know that Xiao Man had just lost her child, and if she didn't mean it, it would become a sword that stabbed Xiao Man, Xiao Man only felt that her mind was messed up, and her soul was about to leave this rotten body.
"What the princess said makes sense, besides, General Lu is still young, the heirs are thin, and your body is not good, so you can still let the princess extend the heirs for the Lu family."
Lu Li wanted to stop the queen's words, but the queen said it all in one go, and when she saw Xiaoman looking at her in surprise, she realized that she didn't know that she couldn't have children anymore.
"What did you say, Queen Mother?"
"It's... Didn't Lu Qing tell you? ”
Su Xiaoman sneered, it turned out that he was no longer infertile, and the civil and military officials next to him looked at him as if he was watching a joke, his expression was fixed and he looked at Lu Li, he had apologies in his eyes, but this could not kill the resentment in Xiaoman's heart,
"Okay, thank you for your love."
Xiao Man's heart is already in despair, maybe he can only grow old slowly in the Lu Mansion in the future, and this princess of the Western Regions will grow old with Lu Li and share the family.
"Xiaoman, you..."
I thought that if they refused together, they could push this princess away, but I didn't expect Xiaoman to break away from him at this critical moment, which made Lu Li feel painful.
"Okay, okay, then I'll choose a good day and an auspicious day to let the princess marry into the Lu Mansion."
The emperor and queen had a ghost in their hearts, looked at each other and smiled, the princess saw that she got what she wanted and could marry Ruyi Langjun, she was naturally happy, and no one took care of Xiaoman and Lu Li, the poor people.
After the morning court, Lu Li and Xiaoman took a carriage home, and Pearl wanted them to talk to each other, so they got out of the car and walked beside them.
"Xiaoman, I really don't mean to marry her."
Xiao Man's eyes didn't want to look at Lu Li at all, just stared out the window, and there were vendors shouting and selling rattles outside the window, she always wanted to have another daughter, but unfortunately she would never have it again.
"She's beautiful, and she looks like a person with a hearty personality, so there's nothing wrong with that."
Listening to Xiao Man's cold answer, Lu Li sat a little further away from Xiao Man, and forcibly grabbed Xiao Man into his arms, no matter how Xiao Man struggled, he didn't let go.
"Don't break free."
Lu Li roared softly, this was his rare appearance as a general in front of Xiao Man, Xiao Man heard his low voice, and he also obediently lay in his arms.
"Su Xiaoman, listen up, I only need you in this life."
Hearing this, Su Xiaoman's nose was sour, and he cried in Lu Li's arms, and the grievances and sourness of the past few days were slowly eliminated in this pain.
