In the past few years, with the help of General Lu Shu, Lu Qinghuan compared and investigated the paper materials and imitation pen and ink of the military orders one by one, and finally found out the clues, found out the scholar who imitated ghostwriting, and brought him to Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo seemed to be very angry, and ordered someone to pull the scholar down and kill him with a cane, and there was no follow-up.

Zhao Kuo asked Lu Shu to take her back, but she didn't leave.

Zhao Kuo asked her, "What is the result you want?" General Lu died because of his escort, and I have given him the greatest dignity. ”

Yes, the cause of his father's death seems to be because of Chaoyunjun's private entry into the city, but not because of this incident, which makes Lu Qinghuan feel that everything he has done seems to be meaningful but seems to be in vain.

What did she want? At first, she thought that maybe her uncle would repent of his actions because he knew the truth, but suddenly it seemed that the truth didn't matter.

Lu Rate was originally a short-tempered person, and he should have had a seizure according to his original temper. Since the death of General Lu, although he has also been promoted because of his meritorious escort, he has not been sent out again, as if he was deliberately set up there, making him useless in martial arts, and he can only go to the school to teach recruits in his spare time. When Lu Li set out on the expedition, he told him to take care of Qinghuan, and not to go against the emperor at any time.

There are many things that can not be obtained by asking for an explanation.

Lu Sui's clenched fists gradually loosened, and he saluted Zhao Kuo and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Lu is still young, and I asked the emperor not to blame me if she collided with the emperor, and Weichen will take Miss Lu back." After speaking, he forcibly dragged Lu Qinghuan away.

Later, Zhao Jinyu knew about this matter, and he ran to his father without fear and asked if he should apologize to the Lu family.

It was because of this incident that Zhao Jinyu, who had never been punished, was reprimanded by the emperor and locked up for half a year. finally came out, and ran to the queen again, asking his mother to persuade his father to recognize his mistake. After making a big fuss in the Queen's Palace, he was imprisoned for nearly half a year.

Lu Li received a letter from Lu Shu at the border and knew about it, so he wrote to Qing Huan.

In fact, the emperor knew that the Chaoyun Army was not recalled by General Lu, but the emperor's fear needed to be quelled under a pretense, so he happened to push the boat along the water. The emperor is never wrong.

He told Qing Huan to pay attention everywhere, know the etiquette, and mention the past again.

Lu Qinghuan didn't know where her brother knew this, but through this incident, she knew that what her brother said was right, and the emperor would never be wrong. No matter how hard she tried in the past, it was in vain.

When Lu Qinghuan returned to the seat, her brother was not at the seat, she looked around. happened to bump into Su Lin's gaze looking at her.

Su Lin looked at her with a smile, and the smile made his weak face look a little alive. Lu Qinghuan was a little puzzled, but he also responded with a smile on his chin that was very polite. Then I saw Su Lin whispering a few words to Wei Ranze beside him, and Wei Ranze also looked at this side with a smile and nodded to Qing Huan.

After resting for a while, the sound master returned to the banquet one after another. The musician holding the guqin, followed by a little maid, walked through the corridor and was about to return to the palace banquet. met Lu Li who was standing here.

The two walked over without pause, but they didn't want to be stopped by Lu Li: "Girl, please stay, I lost an important object below, can I ask the girl to help me find it below?" ”

"What did you lose?" A crisp sound of pearl came out under the veil.

"Sachet." After saying that, the girl and the little maid also helped to look for it.

"Master, is that the one?" The little girl pointed to a broken sachet at the corner of the column, the edge of which looked like it had been burned by fire.

The girl was stunned, squatted down and picked up the sachet, lowered her head and handed it over and asked, "Is this what Childe is looking for?" ”

Lu Li glanced at it and said, "It's exactly this." ”

The girl still lowered her head and said, "Since it is an important object, please keep it well." ”

"I met the girl today, and this one was given to the girl, and I asked the girl not to dislike it. It's time for me to go back. After speaking, Lu Li turned his head and left.

……

"Master, this man?" The little maid wanted to ask what was so strange about this man.

didn't notice that the purse that had been written by the master with his head down was suddenly wet with two tears.

I don't know if it was because of the emperor's interest in this emperor, or because of the musician's music, today's banquet was much longer than usual. By the time the banquet ended, it was already early.

On the carriage back home, Lu Qinghuan lifted the curtain and looked outside, most of the street stalls were closed, and there were faint candles in a few stores. By the moonlight, everything can be seen clearly.

Lu Qinghuan suddenly remembered that moonlit night many years ago and shivered.

"It's cold, isn't it? Don't open the window when it's cold, the temperature difference is a bit big now. Lu Li instructed her.

Lu Qinghuan closed the curtain and closed her eyes by the car, she was also a little sleepy. She closed her eyes and asked Lu Li, "Where did my brother go when he was halfway?" Went out some time. ”

"It's a little stuffy on the table, go out and breathe."

Lu Qinghuan didn't ask anymore, tilted his head, as if he was asleep.

Lu Li sat next to Qing Huan and put her head on his shoulder. Lu Qinghuan noticed it, but she was really sleepy, so she leaned on the situation and fell asleep.

Lu Li lowered his head, remembering the hands and the crisp and pleasant voice that handed him his purse today. The pair of white hands clearly showed a reddening scar on the fingertips. That kind of scar can only be left by burns.

From the moment she played the piano, he began to pay attention to her. The master's skill was not infallible, and by chance, her piano stopped while the emperor was discussing his marriage.

He also felt that maybe he was thinking too much, but he had been looking for her for so long, even if it was a small possibility, he had to go to verify it.

At that time, Chaoyunjun did not recall, which caused his father to be forced to drink poisoned wine to save the family. Where did the military post order come from, and he and General Lu Shu thought about it for a long time.

There is a special channel for the delivery of military letters, which is much faster than ordinary letters. The person who sent the letter was a loyal dead man who had been specially cultivated, and there was no possibility of leakage. Later, he suddenly thought that in addition to delivering war news, the military post order was also used to pass on family letters. Also, he also used it to send a letterhead to Nangong Zhaoruo.

Naturally, it couldn't be that his mother revealed it, and he also believed that Nangong Zhaoruo would not do such a thing, but the current clues made him have to investigate in that direction.

According to the paper and handwriting of the fake military sticker order, a few people were also arranged to investigate in Nangong Mansion, and it turned out that this fake military sticker order was indeed copied according to the letterhead given by Nangong Mansion.

Nangong Zhaoruo......

I still remember that when I was in the mourning hall of my parents, Lu Li saw Nangong Zhaoruo, who was hiding behind the pillars of the courtyard, probing to his side, so he sent away the officials and relatives who came to offer incense as soon as possible, and sent Xiao Qinghuan, who was crying into tears, back to the room to rest, and sent the people near the mourning hall. He knelt alone on the futon and poured paper into the clay pot where the fire was burning.

Seeing that there was no one else nearby, Nangong Zhaoruo crept into the mourning hall, she knelt on the futon beside Lu Li, bowed three times to the coffin on the mourning hall, and said: "Uncle Lu, Aunt Zhao, I will always accompany Lu Li to take care of Qinghuan, don't worry." After speaking, he solemnly kowtowed.

Lu Li lowered his head and listened quietly, without speaking. I just stared at the paper in the clay pot in front of me being swallowed by the flames and turned into ashes.

Nangong Zhaoruo turned his head to look at Lu Li beside him, his body trembling faintly. Zhaoruo's nose was sore, and her eyes that were already red from crying couldn't stop crying, she ignored etiquette, hugged Lu Li, and comforted softly, "Don't be afraid, I will accompany you." ”

Lu Li calmed down, raised a hand to wipe away the tears on his face, and by the way, he also broke free from Nangong Zhaoruo's embrace.

He calmed down, turned his head to look at Nangong Zhaoruo, looked at her with a lifeless face and said, "In a few days, you will be the crown princess of Xixiang Kingdom, and please Miss Nangong respect herself." ”

Nangong Zhaoruo was stunned, she had never seen Lu Li so alienated from her. No matter how naughty she amused him when she was a child, he would only yell at her angrily, instead of being so expressionless.

But she knew that Lu Li was in a very uncomfortable mood now, and she could understand it.

Nangong Zhaoruo stretched out his hand and pulled the corner of Lu Li's clothes and said, "I won't marry Xijiao, you believe me." When my master was traveling, he had a miraculous medicine that could make people close their pulses and fake their deaths, and I begged him to come, and since then I have been able to escape this marriage, you know my mind, don't you? ”

Lu Li was a little stunned, she was really bold! Once the escape is unsuccessful, this is the guilt of the deception, and once she becomes her, she will become a person with no identity.

But so what? The death of her parents is inseparable from Lord Nangong, how can she be with her without any guilt?

"It's also good to be able to marry Xijiao." Lu Li didn't know if his sentence was against his will.

After all, objectively speaking, Xun Yu has always been clean and self-conscious, and he has never heard of any rumors about which woman he has had, so he must be very good to her in the future.

Nangong Zhaoruo was stunned for a moment, and stood up in disbelief.

"Lu Li! I know that the death of your parents is very painful, and I am very sad that they have died, but you should never say such a thing! Who I marry, I should have the final say on whether it is good or not! Why do you choose for me? Your sadness now is not a reason for you to trample on my heart for you! ”

Lu Li turned his head and looked at her from the bottom up. He smiled suddenly, and the smile was desolate.

He confessed: "My father died not because of escort at all, but because someone used a military post order to recall Chaoyun Junhui to frame him for rebellion." If it weren't for my father's full responsibility, today would be the death day of my Lu Mansion. ”

Hearing this, Nangong Zhaoruo was shocked and didn't know what to say, only to see Lu Li continue.

"I'm in the side, in order to contact you early, the title page of the letter sent to you every month is printed with Chaoyunjun's military sticker."

These words seemed to be thunderclapping on Nangong Zhaoruo's head, and she hurriedly explained: "I never leaked your letterhead!" Don't you believe me? ”

Lu Li smiled bitterly: "I know, I sent someone to investigate, this matter should have nothing to do with you, but you can go back and ask if your father has anything to do with him." ”

Nangong Zhaoruo seemed to understand, and Mu Ran stood there not knowing what to say.

Lu Li took out the sachet she gave him a long time ago from his arms, and he still remembered her delicate appearance at that time. was ruthless and threw it into the clay basin...... The flames enveloped it all at once.

"Don't!" Nangong Zhaoruo suddenly fell down in front of the clay pot, picked up the burning incense sachet from the clay pot with her bare hands, she didn't care about the pain of her fingers being burned by the fire, and slapped out the flame with her fingers.

Lu Li tried to reach out to stop him, but put down his slightly raised hand again.

"Let's go." Lu Li stood up expressionlessly and left the mourning hall.

Lu Li walked to Lu Qinghuan's room, and Pomegranate was sitting on the steps of the door. Lu Li instructed Pomegranate to prepare some light porridge, and pushed the door in.

Lu Qinghuan fell asleep on the bed, there were tear stains on his cheeks, he was very distressed, he gently pulled the quilt to cover her, and then sat on the edge of the bed, looking at one place in a daze.

He sat like this for a long time, and when Pomegranate came in with porridge and vegetables, he whispered, "Call Miss up to eat something, I've worked hard for you these past few days." ”

"Pomegranate will definitely take good care of Miss, by the way, young master, I just passed through the front yard and met Miss Nangong, she asked me to transfer this to you." Stretching out his hand, it was the half-burned sachet.

Lu Li took the sachet and clenched it tightly in his hand, and asked, "What else did she say?" ”

"I just said that I would leave it to you, and I didn't say anything else."

"Oh, she'...... Gone? ”

"I should be gone now."
