said that Lu Qiuyue, in order to save her father who was in prison, made an appointment to meet Jiang Chun in the Sifang Pavilion.

She asked, "Is that Taoist priest named Yuan Zhen a person from the Heavenly Owl Organization, and is he the one who instructed Fang Xiaohei to assassinate Ding Jiwu?" ”

Jiang Chun gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"

Lu Qiuyue said: "Did you witness it with your own eyes?" ”

Jiang Chun hesitated for a moment and nodded silently.

Lu Qiuyue's face was pale, and she said steadily: "I know, these words must not be your sincere words, because they are controlling you behind your back, and you can't help yourself."

"Let's not talk about my father's behavior in the court, just because he is my father, I can't watch him being wronged and have any unexpected ...... as a daughter."

She sobbed and said, "Tomorrow is the deadline, and if there is no evidence to clear him tomorrow, he will be questioned by the emperor......

"Jiang Chun, I believe in your character, can you really bear to watch my father give up his life in vain because of your perjury and because you didn't save you when you saw death?

"Jiang Chun, for the sake of the past friendship, you can tell the truth, I will remember your great kindness and virtue for the rest of my life......"

Jiang Chun's heart was confused for a while, he hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Miss, don't say it!" What I said in the lobby that day was all true, and you don't have to have any illusions that I will retract my confession. ”

Lu Qiuyue lost her voice and said: "Jiang Chun ......"

Jiang Chun raised his face and said, "Miss, I'm ashamed that I can't help you." I'm sorry, I failed you, I ......"

He wanted to speak and stopped, sighed lightly, arched his hands at Lu Qiuyue and Ling Yun, and turned away.

Lu Qiuyue's flowers trembled, and she said sadly: "Jiang Chun, I misjudged you!" In the words, she was already in tears.

Jiang Chun was also heartbroken. At one point, he really wanted to turn around and give everything to himself.

However, thinking of Xiao Yongnian and Ouyang Zhen; Thinking of the affection and righteousness between brothers; Think about your responsibilities...... He hesitated again, and he finally didn't look back.

He only felt extremely sad, and he had to admit that he had developed a deep love for Lu Qiuyue.

But what a lot of thinking it would be to hurt your loved ones deeply when you know you can do it, but you can't do it.

Of course, there is also Lu Qiuyue.

She went back and cried. I am sad that my self-confidence and pride have been frustrated, I am sad that I love inhuman, and I am sad that I will lose my father's love if I can't save my father.

Mrs. Lu wanted to comfort her daughter, but she had already shed tears before she could say anything.

There are also Xu Zhi, Ling Yun, Yuan Ping, and Yang Zhen...... and all the people of the Lu Mansion.

"A pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without a blind date. Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow becomes a trio. ……”

Seeing that another day was approaching dusk, and he was still helpless, Ling Yun couldn't help but feel a little more worried.

"After dusk, there is a dark fragrance in the sleeves...... he was pouring himself a drink, and suddenly felt a faint fragrance hit him. What incense?

Laughter suddenly heard behind him, "The beautiful scenery of the good day, Commander Ling is just pouring himself a drink and enjoying it alone!" ”

A man's shadow has come near. Ling Yun looked at it and couldn't help but be stunned, "Oh, it's you?" ”

Standing behind him was the handsome and lovely boy in Tsing Yi, who said with a smile on his face: "Isn't it lonely to drink alone, do you want my little brother to have a few drinks with you?" ”

Ling Yun Wuxu said: "Whatever." ”

The young man in Tsing Yi sat down and said, "Look at you, are you worried, are you worried about Lord Lu's affairs?" ”

Ling Yun replied, "In the past few days in the mansion, your foot injury has healed, right?" ”

The boy in Tsing Yi said: "It's much better!" Commander Ling, if you hadn't made a decision that day, maybe I would have ...... Thank you for saving your life. If there is anything difficult, although it is said that as long as the little brother can help, he will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire! ”

"Where did you learn this set of quacks?"

The boy in Tsing Yi said: "Hey, I'm sincere. Isn't it just to save Lord Lu, it's a trivial matter!"

Ling Yun glanced at him in some surprise, "What did you say?" ”

"Why are you looking at me like that? Hmph, you don't have to look down on me, no matter how stupid I am, I'm better than you stupid officials! ”

Ling Yun said: "Yes, then I want to ask this brother what his opinion is?" ”

The boy in Tsing Yi said: "I can't talk about high opinions, I just want you not to hang yourself on a tree." Do you have to find some evidence of guilt, so you don't go around and ask for help? ”

This sentence suddenly reminded Ling Yun. They stood up and arched their hands at the boy in Tsing Yi and said, "Thank you brother for your advice!" ”

The boy in Tsing Yi said proudly: "You're welcome. I'll just say, you're not stupid at all, you're just a little worse than me. ”

Ling Yun raised his leg to leave, but suddenly stood up again, "By the way, I haven't asked my godbrother Taizun's name yet." ”

The boy in Tsing Yi arched his hand in a dashing manner, "Don't dare, the younger brother's surname is Yuming." The jade of the treasure jade, the king of the sluan. Yuzhuo. ”

"Yujuan? It's a bit of a strange name. ”

"What's the blame? Lingyun, that's a strange name. 'The imperial capital should be innumerable, and endure cutting Lingyun's heart by an inch' is about you, right? ”

Ling Yun said with a smile: "Don't be nonsense, where did you make up the verses from?" ”

Yu Lian said: "Why did I make it up, this is from-"

At this time, Xu Zhi walked over and said, "Commander Ling." ”

Seeing this, Ling Yun made a gesture of being out of company to Yu Lian and went to Xu Zhi.

Yu Lian pouted, seemingly a little unhappy.

As soon as Ling Yun and Xu Zhi met, they said in unison: "There is a way!" ”

The two were stunned, and then asked each other in unison: "What way?" ”

The two looked at each other for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Looking for the Queen Mother!" ”

The two couldn't help but laugh.

Xu Zhidao: "This is called 'a little bit of understanding with a heart'!" ”

Ling Yun nodded and said, "Then when are we going?" ”

Empress Dowager Wei sat quietly in the Cining Palace, and her favored grandson Zhao Ting was in front of her knees. He shook his head and shook his head to endorse the book, which made Empress Dowager Wei burst into bursts of cheerful laughter from time to time.

At this time, Liu Hong, the eunuch next to him, came in to report: "Queen Mother, there is the lord of Huanyu County of Jinling Wangfu outside, asking to see you." ”

Empress Dowager Wei was excited, "I heard from the prince of Jinling a few days ago that this naughty girl ran away from home in order to escape marriage, and sent people everywhere to look for her, but there was no news. Which gust of wind blew this girl here today? ”

"Southeast and northwest winds!" As he spoke, a beautiful woman with brilliant embroidery and brilliance danced in.

The intoxicating demeanor and graceful and luxurious service make her as beautiful as a fairy under the moon.

Empress Dowager Wei smiled: "You crazy girl, where have you slipped away these days?" It's so unseemly, I almost didn't kill your father and your mother! ”

The county lord of Huanyu flicked down at the Empress Dowager Wei and said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager." ”

"You don't have to call the Queen Mother, just call me Aunt. There's no one else here anyway. Sit down, my son! ”

The county lord of Huanyu was not restrained, and sat down next to the Empress Dowager Wei generously, and leaned his head on the Empress Dowager's shoulder affectionately.

Speaking of this Huanyu County Lord, the relationship with Empress Dowager Wei is extraordinary.

As mentioned earlier, the emperor's father has four brothers and sisters: the elder is the former emperor Zhao, the second is the current Sanguan marshal Zhao Rui, the prince of Guangling, the third is the current Jinling prince Zhao Fu, and the fourth is the evergreen princess. And the four brothers and sisters all have their own strengths:

The son of the former emperor is the current emperor Zhao Yu;

The son of the prince of Guangling is named Zhao Xu, who is an all-round talent in humanities and martial arts, with outstanding character, and now follows his father to guard the three passes, and is already a well-known and victorious general;

The prince of Jinling is thin, and there is only one daughter of the lord of Huanyu;

The son of the evergreen princess is He Chenglin, the man of the hour who recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors; And He Chengqi, the second son of He Fu, was born to He Yuting's side room.

Now let's go back to this Huanyu County Lord. Her father, Zhao Fu, the prince of Jinling, and the former emperor are siblings, and her mother, Princess Wei, and Empress Dowager Wei are biological sisters.

In this way, Empress Dowager Wei is not only her aunt, but also her aunt.

For this reason, she and Empress Dowager Wei are really close to each other; And Empress Dowager Wei had no daughter, so once upon a time she discussed with her sister Princess Wei and accepted Huanyu as a righteous daughter.

Therefore, it is even more obvious that the identity of this Huanyu County Lord is extraordinary, and it is no wonder that she acts so unscrupulously.

Empress Dowager Wei said: "Huanyu, you haven't said what you've been doing these days?" ”

Huanyu smiled: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I played in the capital, inquired about some anecdotes, broadened my horizons, and increased a lot of knowledge." ”

Empress Dowager Wei said: "Oh, you are a girl's family, it's too unorthodox - Liu Hong, immediately send someone to inform the prince of Jinling." ”

Huanyu hurriedly said: "Wait, aunt, you are so anxious for my father to pick me up, do you dislike me?" I'm out there dressed as a man and I haven't caused you the slightest thing, what are you worried about?

"Now that I'm back, of course I won't go outside again, and I want to stay here with you for a few more days, but you're in a hurry to send me back - it seems that you don't care about me at all, you only love your little grandson in front of you!"

Empress Dowager Wei smiled: "Look at your poor mouth! ”

Huanyu also laughed with her, and she said: "Auntie, you must be very lonely when you stay in the palace all the time, don't you, do you want to hear some anecdotes that have happened in the capital recently?" ”

Empress Dowager Wei said: "Exactly, I will listen to what you say." ”

Huanyu said: "Don't say anything else, it's just that you must have heard about what happened two days ago about Lord Lu Wenzheng Lu, right?" ”

The Queen Mother was stunned and said, "Lu Wenzheng? Did something happen to him? ”

Huanyu said: "I heard that he has been in some trouble recently, and the Holy One is about to punish him." ”

Empress Dowager Wei exclaimed: "There is such a thing! Why didn't I know at all? Huanyu, tell me what's going on? ”

Huanyu said: "It's a long story. Do you remember what happened in my Aunt Evergreen's house twenty years ago? It's my cousin He Chenglin who was taken away! ”

After being reminded by Huanyu, Empress Dowager Wei remembered.

Huanyu said: "Later, Ge's husband and son became incognito and became Taoist priests. In revenge, they kidnapped Miss Ding and used them to blackmail my uncle and cousin. But it happened that on that day, the bandits of the Tianxiao Organization assassinated Ding Dagongzi, so they put all the charges on the head of the Taoist father and son.

"And that Yuan Zhen Taoist is a demon who has been practicing for many years, and I don't know what demon method he cast, he escaped from the Lu Mansion and broke into the palace to kidnap the saint...... The saint was angry with Lord Lu because he was deceived for a while, and he was going to behead him without asking, aunt, is this very unfair? ”

Empress Dowager Wei groaned and bowed slightly.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was tempted, Huanyu was secretly happy in her heart, and said: "Originally, it's a big deal to be a crime of dereliction of duty, and the crime is not to death; What's more, the Taoist priest still used witchcraft to deceive people's hearts, and he couldn't blame Lord Lu for them; Besides, Lord Lu has made outstanding achievements and served the country loyally; And I also have kindness to my aunt, wouldn't it be a pity if such a loyal and good general died because of this! ”

Empress Dowager Wei nodded frequently; And the main thing is that Lord Lu has a life-saving grace for her, and she also protects Lu Wenzheng selfishly.

She smiled and said, "Huanyu, I see that you are so enthusiastic about this matter, have you received a favor from someone in the Lu Mansion?" ”

Huanyu was stunned for a moment, and said with a red face: "Auntie, look at what you said, what kind of big bribe will the people in the Lu Mansion impress me?" ”

Empress Dowager Wei smiled.

At this time, Liu Hong, the personal eunuch, came in and said, "Queen Mother, Xu Zhi and Ling Yun of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department outside ask to see you." ”

Empress Dowager Wei was stunned and said, "I understand, the two of them must have come here for this matter." ”

Huanyu said: "Then I'll avoid it first." ”

Empress Dowager Wei said: "It is not necessary to pass the bead curtain. ”

After a while, Xu Zhi and Ling Yun came in, kowtowed to the Queen Mother outside the bead curtain and said, "Weichen see the Queen Mother." ”

Empress Dowager Wei got straight to the point and said: "The two Qing families are here, but for Lu Wenzheng's business? ”

This question was abrupt, which made the two of them confused for a while.

Empress Dowager Wei said: "If it is for this matter, the two of you don't have to worry about it, the mourning family knows the beginning and end of the matter, and they will state their interests to the saint and advise the saint to change his original intention." The two Aiqing can rest assured. ”

These words made the two even more confused. Before coming here, the two of them had been carefully thought out and carefully planned (for fear that the Queen Mother would be ruthless in case she turned her face), and they were prepared for the worst; Unexpectedly, things would be solved so easily, it was easy for the two of them to believe that it was true.

If the two of them could look up at this time and see the graceful and luxurious and smiling beautiful county lord behind Empress Dowager Wei, they might suddenly realize after being taken aback.

It's just that the two of them, as courtiers, don't dare to raise their heads out of etiquette, not to mention that they are separated by a layer of crystal bead curtains.

When the two returned to the house, they were still puzzled.

Xu Zhi frowned and said, "Commander Ling, could it be that someone is secretly helping us?" ”

Ling Yun nodded and said, "I think so, but who will this person be?" ”

While everyone was suspicious, Feng Chaoying, the head of the palace, had come to the palace to pardon Lu Wenzheng.

The emperor is notoriously filial; What's more, after a few days of tossing and turning, he felt more and more unbearable to let go of Lu Wenzheng's minister.

Now the persuasion of the Queen Mother and the intercession of the civil and military officials led by the prince of Jinling just catered to the emperor's wishes, and he took the opportunity to pardon Lu Wenzheng.

But the death penalty is forgiven, and the living crime is inevitable, the emperor deducted Lu Wenzheng's one-year salary, and the official demoted one grade, and ordered him to catch the murderer of Ding Jiwu in the near future.

Lu Wenzheng returned to the mansion, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and rejoiced.

Everything was ready, Lu Wenzheng rewarded him according to his merits and punished him according to his crimes, disposed of Dong Wu who neglected his duties and let go of the fugitives, removed him from his post as a five-grade lieutenant, and took 40 heavy responsibilities, and temporarily stayed in the mansion to see the after-effects.

Although Dong Wu had a nest in his heart, he could only consider himself unlucky.

When they were all right, they talked again about the man who had secretly helped them.

Yuan Ping said: "I said that this person must have a very close relationship with the Queen Mother, and he must be someone that the Queen Mother can trust, maybe it is some kind of prince and grandson." ”

Ling Yun said: "It's just that how can these princes and grandsons speak for us, and we are not related to them." ”

Yuan Ping scratched his head and said, "That's what I said." ”

At this time, the boy in Tsing Yi walked in from outside with a spring breeze on his face and said, "Hey, everyone has always been good, the little brother is back!" ”
