The spring breeze blew gently on the cheeks of several people, bringing a cool chill. The not-so-dazzling sunlight shone straight down from the sky, casting fine light and shadow through the sparse branches and leaves, just like the mottled and complicated hearts of several people.

"Hold still." For a long time, Wang Yao only said these four words.

The rest of the people are also smart people, and they all understand what Wang Yao means. Now that Emperor Tianlong's edict has not been issued, it proves that he has not yet received the news, and if the Wang family rashly makes a move, he may not be able to give the suspicious emperor some handle.

And Prince Hongcheng may not know about it, it seems that ...... The Li family's attention to various families has never been relaxed.

A few people sat in Wang Yao's courtyard, the flowers blooming in the flowers were extremely delicate, a thriving spring scene, but none of them had the heart to appreciate the flowers, and even the pleasant sound added a lot of boredom to the heart.

It wasn't until the evening that several people waited for the edict from the palace.

As expected, Emperor Tianlong summoned people from the Wang family into the palace.

On the spacious carriage, Wang Jin sat opposite Hua Xiyan, looked at her calm face, and sighed: "It's really been an eventful time recently......

Wang Yan's body shook, the hand on his knee tightened involuntarily, and the brocade clothes immediately appeared wrinkles.

Wang Yao glanced at Wang Jin quietly, and the latter scratched his head and shut up in recognition.

"Big brother." Huaxi Yanqingling's voice sounded in the silent carriage, which made Wang Yan, who had always been calm and calm, suddenly excited.

"You have to be prepared, the Lu family's matter is only big and not small compared to the Wen family."

Wang Yan also knew that this was powerful, closed his eyes slightly, and nodded heavily.

Hua Xiyan and the Lu family have no friendship, and the only people they know are Lu Kite and Lu Qi. Lu Yuan is her sister-in-law, and she doesn't need to say it because of her own family, but because of the incident at Jinju Academy last time, she really doesn't have a good impression of Lu Qi.

"The identity of the Lu family is too special." Hua Xiyan turned his head to look at Wang Yao, and saw that he was closing his eyes to recuperate, so he couldn't help but lower his voice, "If you want to preserve, I'm afraid it's not easy." ”

Huaxi Yan is hindered by Wang Yan being here, so this is very polite, not that it is not easy, but there is no room for return to this matter at all.

The Lu family is a descendant of the previous dynasty, and when the Holy Heaven opened the country, a prince descended to the Holy Heaven, which saved his own line. In order to show the emperor's grace, the founding empress fiefdom Fan Yang was given the title of "King Ping". Among the Holy Heavenly Emperors of the past dynasties, whether it is the Holy One or the Dumb One, but when it comes to suspicion, no one can stand out from the Tianlong Emperor. Coupled with the growing power of the Lu family, there is a faint trend of separating the vassal kings, I am afraid that Emperor Tianlong has long wanted to find an opportunity to destroy the Lu family.

Sure enough, after all the ministers of the humerus of the Holy Heaven went to the Jinluan Palace, Emperor Tianlong couldn't help but say, and directly issued a death order: Fan Yang Lu clan, exterminate the nine clans!

"Your Majesty!" Xiao Tianyou, the left minister, immediately came out of the queue and said to Emperor Tianlong, "Is it better to find out after a while?" ”

"Find out?" Emperor Tianlong snorted coldly, "The seven sect temples are clearly placed there, how can they be found out?" I see that the Lu family has long had a heart of disobedience, and wants to overthrow my holy heaven and restore the previous dynasty! ”

"The Lu family has been in peace for hundreds of years, and there has never been a disobedience, I'm afraid there is something strange about this matter!" Xiao Tianyou then admonished.

Emperor Tianlong's eyes deepened slightly, looked Xiao Tianyou up and down, and slowed down his voice for a while: "Zuo Xiang is in such a hurry to intercede for the Lu family, could it be that he has any close relationship with the Lu family?" ”

Xiao Tianyou was drenched in cold sweat when he heard this, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and didn't dare to say that he didn't dare to look up and look back at Emperor Tianlong's inquiring eyes.

Seeing that Zuo Xiang was innocently implicated, the ministers who had pleaded for the Lu family in the DPRK and China all dispelled their thoughts, and they hung their heads vigorously and did not dare to come out.

"But you still have objections to my decision?" Emperor Tianlong's words carried dozens of coercion, and Mount Tai came towards everyone like a top. Under the oppression of this breath of the Son of Heaven, the ministers had to say in unison, whether they were willing or unwilling: "My emperor is shengming! ”

"The Lu family's move is a great rebellion, and the power of the father emperor has always been inviolable, let alone a small prince! This move of my father is not only to maintain the imperial power, but also to maintain the foundation of my holy heaven for hundreds of years, and to preserve the face of the ancestors of the past generations, which is really a holy move! Prince Hongcheng stepped forward, his voice was loud and vibrant, and his words made Emperor Tianlong's face soften a lot.

Immediately, a large chorus of echoes rang out in the hall.

Lu Yuan was supported to stand beside Hua Xiyan, her face was pale and she looked like she was going to faint at any time, especially after Emperor Tianlong issued the death order, her mind was even more buzzing, and the whole person stood there and staggered.

Seeing the direction of the wind that is now falling on this side, Lu Yuan bit her bloodless lower lip tightly, and wanted to push away the person who was supporting her to intercede.

Hua Xiyan had already seen through Lu Yuan's motives, grabbed her when she had just taken a step, and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, think about Qingyu." ”

Lu Kite's body froze in place suddenly, and only then did she realize that she still had a son! She is so impulsive, what if she affects her son?

But how could she watch her close relatives being slaughtered? The Lu family is a big family, and there are hundreds of people in the side branches! How she watched them all lose their lives!

Lu Yuan's cherry lips trembled uncontrollably, and tears had already fallen from her eyes, but she didn't dare to make a sound because this was above the Jinluan Palace.

Hua Xiyan pulled Lu Yuan tightly, although she is the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, she still has a title on her body, and she has an indelible relationship with the Lu family. Emperor Tianlong left Wen Guiyi because she was the crown princess, which was related to the face of the royal family, but for Lu Yuan, it was not necessarily the case.

Sure enough, Emperor Tianlong's old eyes swept heavily among the ministers, and finally settled on Lu Yuan.

Bumped into Emperor Tianlong's eyes without any emotion, Lu Yuan only felt that her breath was suffocating, as if a pair of hands were tightly choking her neck, and the next moment, she would be wiped out under that gaze.

"Lord Linqing." Emperor Tianlong opened his mouth and summoned this title that would push Lu Yuan to the forefront at any time.

Hua Xiyan's heart trembled, the hand holding Lu Yuan's arm tightened, and a pair of bright eyes looked at Emperor Tianlong with a little cold light.

"Your Majesty!" In the main hall, another beautiful male voice suddenly sounded, and it was Wang Yan who knelt down and started playing.

Hua Xiyan instantly understood what Wang Yan's intentions were, so he had to sigh in his heart.

It's a pity, but it's the only way to do it today.

"Jinju Academy made such a big mistake last time, and the courtiers really don't have the face to continue to operate, so I hope that the saint will send another high office, so as to make a name for himself and reassure the people!"

One of the reasons why the Wang family has withdrawn from the court for so many years, but still retains its majesty, is this Jinju Academy. Jinju Academy and Guozijian are on a par with each other, and they are places where Wenchen is cultivated. The people who came out of Jinju Academy would more or less miss the Wang family behind the academy, which is why Emperor Tianlong wanted to take back Jinju Academy for a long time.

It's just that Wang Yan runs the academy very well, and there has never been any mistakes, and Emperor Tianlong has never been able to find any reason. Although the accident happened this time, the main reason was the Wen family, and there was no substantial relationship with Wang Yan.

Seeing that Wang Yan was a knowledgeable person, the corners of Emperor Tianlong's lips showed a smug smile, and he pretended to ponder for a moment, then nodded and said in a lazy voice: "So, quasi-play!" ”

Wang Yan's hanging heart was slightly lowered, and he called "My Emperor Shengming" and retreated to Wang Yao's side.

"Lord Linqing, the prince has both ability and political integrity, marrying him is your blessing, you can have a good husband and children in the future, so that you can live a harmonious life!"

For some people, the voice is like a heavenly sound, but in Lu Yuan's ears, it is like the sound of ghosts from hell, which makes people's hearts like knives. She and Wang Yan have been married for so many years, so they naturally know what Jinzhou Academy represents to him, but now they are ......

It wasn't until she felt the pain in her wrist that Lu Yuan suddenly came back to her senses, and knelt down faster than her mind to thank her: "Daughter-in-law obeys the holy decree!" ”

Emperor Tianlong did not let the people of the Wang family out of the palace, but left the group in the palace on the grounds that "I haven't seen the monarch and ministers for many years", but anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is Chiguoguo's house arrest.

Hua Xiyan doesn't matter, anyway, the palace won't treat them badly, it's the same everywhere, and there is another reason, that is, there is no Yun Qi in the palace.

The sudden thought startled Hua Xiyan. The person who wanted to stick together from time to time is now letting her escape like this. It's not that she has any resentment towards Yun Qi, but she can't see his grievances in front of her, maybe he is willing to do it, but she has to admit that she can't bear it.

She felt that he needed to be quiet, and when he got out of the hurdle in his heart, it was a good time for the two of them to talk about something.

Lu Yuan didn't hold back after all, and before he returned to the dormitory that Emperor Tianlong had prepared for them, he fainted softly.

Wang Yan knew that this was a rush to attack his heart, so he didn't lose his sense of proportion, picked up Lu Yuan and went back to the dormitory without saying a word.

A few people were not much annoyed or stunned, because Emperor Tianlong's punishment of the Lu family was expected.

For the first time in her life, Hua Xiyan felt powerless, whether it was in Xinzhou or Taiyuan before, she had the ability to turn the tide with anything. But at this moment, she has always had no idea in her shrewd mind.

wanted to open her mouth to ask Wang Yao, but seeing that there was a rare look of exhaustion on his face, the sentence that came to his mouth was suppressed by her.

Several people were sitting in the courtyard, thinking differently, and a report from the eunuch came from outside, saying that the five princes were coming.

Ning Xi didn't care about the state of the Wang family at all, and strode in, even with the same chic smile on his face. After nodding to Wang Yao, he directly pulled up Huaxi cigarettes: "You finally came to the palace once, and I will take you around." ”

Hua Xiyan frowned, although he knew that the person in front of him was his brother, but he was still uncomfortable with such a touch, so he took two steps back and broke free of Ning Xi's hand.

Ning Xi didn't care, and still smiled wantonly: "It's useless for you to sit stupidly here, just walk around and relax, and you will come here if you can't make up your mind!" ”

Hua Xiyan blinked, how could she think that Ning Xi's words seemed to mean something?
