CHAPTER XXV
After the morning court, Lu Shun walked down the steps made of white jade in despair, and for a while, he lost his direction, and he didn't know where to go, the pace under his feet suddenly stumbled, and he almost fell to the ground, Xu Mai next to him hurriedly helped him, and hurriedly said: "Lord Lu, are you okay?"
Lu Shun stood up straight with his strength, waved his hand weakly, and said weakly: "It's okay."
Xu Mai sighed and said, "Lord Lu, don't worry too much, how the courtiers are, it all depends on ......" He pointed to the blue sky above his head, paused, and continued: "You and I are powerless to resist this matter at all."
Lu Shun nodded, he knew it in his heart. It's just that he was so loyal to the prince before, and he offended many officials for the prince, and now he was demoted, I am afraid that he will be squeezed by many people, and the Lu family is afraid that it will be difficult to move an inch.
Thinking of this, he sighed and shook his head helplessly. When Xu Mai saw him like this, he couldn't bear it, and thought about comforting him:
"Lord Lu, look at An Lehou...... This, the rank is high. Don't worry too much. ”
Lu Shun: "What is the situation, I know it in my heart, it's just that the chilling prince ......" He suddenly remembered that he couldn't say much, paused, shook his head and sighed softly, and stopped.
Xu Mai walked with him, although Lu Shun stopped talking, but he also understood what he wanted to express, so he had to stretch out his slightly wrinkled hand and gently pat Lu Shun's hand in front of his abdomen, and said, "Lord Lu, I understand what you mean." It's just that now that it has come to this point, I have to comply with the will of God. ”
Besides, he had also bowed his head to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before, but today's early incident made him a little vigilant, His Royal Highness the Prince, I am afraid that he is slowly wearing out the patience of the Son of Heaven. Moreover, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not virtuous enough, ruthless enough, and he is also suspicious of the people around him.
Today's matter, perhaps His Royal Highness King Huai will no longer be grounded, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince uses people in the wrong way, so I am afraid that more eunuchs will be biased towards His Royal Highness King Huai.
From this point of view, neither of them wants to take refuge, but who can they take refuge in besides these two people......
Wait a minute!
Xu Mai's head suddenly flashed like a light, and he thought to himself: His Royal Highness King Zhen's performance today is not bad, he treats his brothers deeply and treats his staff, and he is very close to him......
At this time, he was about to walk out of the palace gate, he looked at Lu Shun, who was about to walk away, hurriedly walked over, and grabbed the sleeve of Lu Shun's official uniform, Lu Shun looked back puzzled, wanting to ask him what he was doing.
Xu Mai hurriedly stopped him from opening his mouth and said in a low voice: "Lord Lu, I have something urgent to tell you." It's not convenient here, you go back to the house and arrange all the matters, come to the cold house to find me. After that, he bowed to Lu Shun and said again: "Lord Lu remembers, I am always free." Then he turned and left, afraid to leave a handle.
Lu Shun was puzzled, and thought about it for a while, but he couldn't think of what it was, so he had to keep this matter in his heart and solve the matter of relocation.

Taiwei Mansion.
As soon as the early dynasty ended, Bai Jugao returned to the Taiwei Mansion. I changed into my official uniform and went to the study. But he thought about the things of this morning, and his mind couldn't calm down to deal with affairs, so he walked around the study a few times, and went to the Wenfu Courtyard in Baizi.
And Bai Zi is holding a white child in one hand and a black child in the other, playing against himself. After hearing Leshan's report that Bai Jugao came over, he raised his eyes, a little surprised, and didn't understand what he was doing at this time.
"I'll go out now." She instructed Leshui: "Leshui, go make a cup of hot tea."
Leshui ordered: "Yes."
When I went outside, I saw Bai Jugao sitting on a chair with a sad face.
Bai Zi's heart paused slightly, and then he called him: "Father?"
Bai Jugao raised his head, saw Bai Zi a few steps away, and smiled: "It's here."
Bai nodded to himself, let Leshan push her over, sat in front of Bai Jugao, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong with my father?"
Bai Jugao sighed lightly, Leshui just brought the tea up, put it in front of Bai Jugao and Bai Zi, Bai Jugao reached out and picked up the teacup, and took a sip of it a little depressed, Leshui retreated and put down the curtain easily.
Bai asked with concern, "Father, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Jugao put down the teacup and said, "Yuan Gu is in the early dynasty today, and the Son of Heaven moved Lu Shun and Lu Shangshu to Anle Hou."
Bai Zizi heard this, lowered his eyes and glanced at the teacup on the table, before he said slowly: "What happened in the early dynasty?"
Bai Jugao: "The Huangshan faction did all kinds of evil and killed many people, Xu Mai reported that the Huangshan faction had a nepotistic relationship with the criminal minister Han Zhong, which annoyed the Son of Heaven. Lu Shun moved to An Lehou, and Xu Mai was idle for half a month. ”
Bai heard what she said, nodded, she understood.
It's just that he can't bear the crown prince Ling Yin and wants to pull King Huai down, and he hates Lu Shun, Xu Mai, and hates this fight.
Bai Jugao said again: "According to my father, His Royal Highness King Huai should be able to go to court soon." But the matter of the prince before ......"
When Bai Zi heard this, he smiled and said, "Daddy, don't worry, it's okay."
Bai Jugao asked anxiously: "How do you say this?"
Bai Zi: "When the New Year was celebrated before, didn't my father just give the courtiers a gift to His Royal Highness the Prince?" Besides, if you see that the prince asked Xu Mai to do this instead of calling you, then he knows in his heart that you have not yet submitted to him. Therefore, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will do in the future is to win you over. She paused for a moment and continued, "However, His Royal Highness King Huai is coming out again, and the former ministers who returned to obedience will definitely return to King Huai's side." Besides, His Royal Highness King Huai will repay him, and he will definitely not miss the opportunity to make a stumbling block for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. In this way, the two of them will have no time to take care of the Taiwei Mansion. ”
Bai Jugao listened to her words, exhaled a straight breath, and then put his mind at ease.
Then, this matter, as all of them guessed, Huai Wang Lingjing didn't need to be grounded. As soon as the early dynasty was issued, a holy decree fell from the palace to the Huai Wangfu, saying that there was no need to be grounded again, and many other things were given.
Ling Jing closed her eyes, her slender eyelashes covering the dark underparts of her eyes. At this time, the depression in his heart for many days finally dissipated, he could be banned for a month, this time grounded, I don't know how many people have been damaged and how many courtiers have been lost.
His eyes were gloomy, and he turned a blind eye to all the things that were given, and he was grounded this time, and he realized that what kind of prince and what prince he was, where could he be better than sitting on that yellow chair! This time, he didn't let him repent of everything, but he was even more determined to sit on the throne.
It's just that......
He thought hatefully: If Ling Yin is not allowed to shed his skin this time, he will not be reconciled!!
