After a night, Qu Qiniang and Yingwei became acquainted with each other, and they also knew the situation Lu Zhaoyi was facing, so they asked.

"No, it will dispel suspicions about me." Lu Zhaoyi replied casually.

Qu Qi Niang is even more confused now.

All the way to the outside of the house, she took Qu Qi Niang's hand and pulled the carriage.

Obviously, all this that happened really made Qu Qi Niang feel incredible.

Only Lu Zhaoyi said lightly, "From today onwards, you are my personal guard, naturally wherever I go, you will go." When I enter the palace, you will be guarding outside the palace. ”

All the way to the palace gate.

Inside the carriage, the two lifted the curtain, but outside it was as lively as the market, as long as it was the family members of the scholars who entered the palace to participate in the court meeting, the princes and nobles, the ministers and officials, all gathered here, and they were polite to each other.

It's just that behind this prosperity and hustle and bustle, there is endless insidiousness.

When they got out of the car, it happened that a luxurious carriage ran past them and stopped not far from the palace gate.

"Who? is so rampage, and there is no shame at all. Qu Qi Niang looked at the carriage that was about to run over them, exuding resentment.

Lu Zhaoyi swept over and smiled, "It's Lu Situ's carriage, one of the three dukes, and the most playful one in the court." ”

With that, she pointed to the middle-aged man who was walking towards Situ's carriage.

"That's Du Youxiang, the two of them stand together, it's probably not a good thing."

This time, she didn't need to remind her, Qu Qi Niang had already seen it.

In the distance, Situ and Youxiang, who got out of the carriage, talked to each other, and their eyes flashed with no cunning.

Just as they were far away from the two, a person quietly walked behind them.

It seemed that Lu Zhaoyi had already noticed it, and when she turned around, her face gradually froze, but it was someone she didn't expect.

"Seventh sister, I haven't seen you go back to Lu's house these days, so my family is worried about you."

The person in front of him is none other than Lu Chengren, the second man with a dark face and the most neglected in the Lu family.

If his words came from Lu Chengye's mouth, she would only be hypocritical, but if it was this second brother, she had reason to believe that he was really worried.

"Second brother, the day before yesterday, His Majesty appointed me as a Lang official and gave me a mansion, so Qi Niang will live in Luojing for a long time." Lu Zhaoyi lowered his eyes slightly, hiding a trace of guilt in his eyes.

Lu Chengren nodded, "That's fine, lest you get entangled with your aunt, aunt, and sister-in-law again." ”

Big Mother?

I haven't seen him for three years, and Lu Zhaoyi never thought that this old lady was still alive.

Back then, it was the old lady who started and united her aunt and sister-in-law to drive her out of the Lu family.

Later, she sat firmly in Lutai in Yedu, and occasionally heard rumors about the old lady, which was the reuse of her maternal clan Cui by Wu Gong.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sneer, it seemed that she still had to go back to the Lu family once and completely end the matter of the year.

Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound at the palace gate, but when the hour came, the courtiers who stayed outside the palace gate looked over one after another, and it should be time to enter the palace to discuss it.

"Let's go! Second brother! ”

After speaking, she told Qu Qiniang to wait outside the palace, and she walked with Lu Chengren all the way to the palace.

Today's court discussion place is the front palace garden, the sky is getting hotter and hotter, and many ministers are already sweating profusely.

When Lu Zhaoyi arrived, the venue was already full of courtiers.

She and Lu Chengren entered one after the other, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

She is not wearing a court dress, although she looks solemn, but it is a deep coat with a big red background, her demeanor is elegant and noble, and her appearance is extraordinary, which naturally attracts the attention of more people.

From beginning to end, she raised her head, first took a look at Lu Chengye, and the three brothers and sisters looked at each other for a long time, but were interrupted by the minister who was anxious to find a seat behind.

And Lu Chengye turned around and went to the place closest to the position of the third prince.

At this time, Lu Chengren beside him whispered to her, "This is the location of Wenchen, you should go to the location of the military general over there, should you be in the direction of the head of the general of the chariot cavalry, go and find it?" ”

Looking in the direction he was pointing, Lu Zhaoyi saw that there were all strong and reckless men over there, dressed in court clothes, and they couldn't hide the anger on their bodies.

However, this group of people is also very familiar to her.

Among the military generals, the closest to the throne, after Xia Yuansheng and Xia Yuanhong, is the general Sang Mi.

The wide blue silk court dress looked extremely incongruous with his strong figure.

It shows that he is more than eight feet tall, a native of Yanzhou, who was a strategist with her, and is good at leading troops to fight, and he has not dealt with him back then.

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but go in that direction.

And Sang Mi didn't notice her, just chatting with one of the nine Qings in front of him, Da Hongluqing Qi Ran.

As if he caught a glimpse of her walking in, Qi Ran raised his head and raised his voice slightly, a little yin and yang, "It is said that General Sang has a new official with a name, and he is worried about not knowing what to call him." You can't call Lu Zhonglang, right? Or should Lu Zhongniang? ”

Obviously, Zeng Li was stunned, as if he didn't react.

And when Lu Zhaoyi heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he secretly scolded in his heart, this Qi Ran is really an old slippery head.

Walking up to Sang Mi, she was in danger and bowed down, "Xiaguan Lu Qiniang, the new Lang official, has seen the general of the chariot cavalry." ”

Her voice is crisp and tactful, but it is capable, neither humble nor arrogant, and loud.

At this time, Sang Mi reacted and looked her up and down, "I heard that Lu Niangzi is a disciple of the military master, but how come I have never seen you all these years?" Could it be that Gouchen Pifu hid you too deeply? ”

It is true that when she was in the army, she herself had always hidden in the camp tent to discuss important military affairs, but she was also separated by a curtain, so naturally she never showed up.

She can't say that she is the Gou Chen puppet in his mouth, right?

simply, she gritted her teeth, "The family teacher naturally won't order me to show up, after all, my daughter's house, and the military camp, have many inconveniences, so Qi Niang has always been in Lutai." ”

"Hahahaha, it's good. Someone is out of thought. Sangmi laughed, his eyes a little appreciative.

Qi Ran, who was a slippery head, saw that Sang Mi not only did not ridicule her, but praised her quite a lot, and there was some resentment on his face, and he turned back to the Wenchen pile.

After half an hour, the inner servant called, His Majesty was in the court, the courtiers left the table and knelt down, and the mountain shouted long live.

Xia Pei sat on the throne, holding on to the dragon case with one hand, his gaze slowly swept over the civil and military officials below, and his gaze swept over a touch of fierceness.

"Zhongqing is flat." He spoke, his voice majestic and loud.

The civil and military officials got up one after another, and Lu Zhaoyi also returned to his seat with the courtiers and knelt down.

Xia Pei's gaze was also locked on her.

Seeing that she was dressed in red, with a cold frost temperament between her eyebrows and eyes, she was like two people when she saw her before.

At this moment, he suddenly felt like a world away, as if he had only met her today.

The chamberlain stepped forward and shouted to the courtiers, "Today's court meeting, started by the two ministers, the three dukes, and the three generals, Your Majesty asked, who will play the ministers first?" ”

Lu Zhaoyi looked straight at each other, and Yuan Qi on the opposite side looked at each other from a distance.

Or they already had a tacit understanding with each other, Yuan Qi quickly stood up and walked to the center of the court, "Your Majesty, the minister plays first!" ”

Xia Pei hummed lightly and motioned for him to continue.

"Your Majesty, the minister sent to Hanoi County to report the long history, the commander of the school and the captain of Henan, Yin Xulu, arbitrarily and arbitrarily, raised the dead in a private house in Ha Duong City. And yesterday at the city gate, the person who attacked the military division was the group of dead soldiers of Captain Xu. ”

When he said this, one of the ministers stood up and shouted, "Blood spews from the mouth." ”

The man was among the ministers, his body was more than seven feet tall, his body was wide and fat, he walked slowly towards Yuan Qi, and bowed his hand to Xia Pei, "Please Your Majesty, the minister has never been as Zuo Xiang said, in the private house of Heyang City, it is the minister's family." If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can go and look it up. ”

This man is Xu Lu.

He is in Heyang's private house, and others don't know if there are any dead soldiers, but the gaffe at him is enough to show that he is indeed fearless.

Xia Pei's eyes were cold, and he slapped the dragon case, which frightened Xu Lu to kneel immediately.

"Have you not, I'll go and check, but was it you who attacked the military advisor yesterday?"

Xu Lu's face turned pale, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and he kowtowed again and again, "Minister, no, Your Majesty." Yesterday, the minister and Lu Situ were eating and drinking in the drunken fragrance house, and they did not know the whereabouts of the military division, Your Majesty, Your Majesty Mingjian! ”

As he spoke, he slammed his head a few more times.

When he looked up, he was flustered and pointed to Lu Lin, who was silent among the ministers, "Your Majesty, in this matter, Lu Situ can testify for the ministers." ”
