Chapter 163: An Uninvited Guest
Such a big thing happened in the court, but Lu Chen was still as usual, after the early dynasty, he either went to the Zichen Hall to teach the empress mathematics, or familiarized himself with the new job in the public house, and then went home at the next point, or worked overtime to work or teach the empress, ending a busy day's life.
You should eat, you should drink, and you should not put anything in your heart.
It's as if he wasn't the one who was impeached so badly, and he had no intention of proving his innocence at all, so he just let this undercurrent surge.
However, when he was living a fulfilling day, whether it was the empress, Gu Simiao, or Fang Ping, Liu Dongyang, Xiao Yun, Xiao Yi, etc., it could be said that except for Fu Huan, who temporarily returned to the Holy Realm with the Holy King of Cangming, almost all the people who had a good relationship with Lu Chen were paying close attention to the dynamics of this matter.
The empress even thought of fabricating the facts and asking Lu Chen to say that she was ordered by her to find a way to rebel against Chai Hongyu, but when she thought of Lu Chen's realistic and upright temperament, she gave up this plan.
During this time, as long as Lu Chen does not work overtime in Zichen Hall after his duty and goes home normally, guests will be indispensable at home.
Thanks to this, Luo Xiaoyu's little housekeeper's network has suddenly expanded a lot, after all, when these bigwigs wait for Lu Chen, they will chat with her for a while when they are bored.
No matter what, Luo Xiaoyu is also Lu Chen's childhood sweetheart, almost the person who knows Lu Chen the most, Fang Ping and them, especially Gu Simiao, are still quite interested in Lu Chen's past, and know a lot of Lu Chen's past.
Even if she knew that Lu Chen would come back very late, she would stay in the Lu Mansion and chat with Luo Xiaoyu.
After tasting the food cooked by Luo Xiaoyu once, and learning that this was actually the skill that Lu Chen personally taught her, she came more often.
However, just because something doesn't happen for a while doesn't mean it won't happen.
"Miao'er."
Gu Mansion, when the five members of the Gu family's big house were eating, the Zhao family suddenly spoke, breaking the previous peace.
Gu Simiao raised her head, looked at her mother, and said softly.
"What's wrong? Mother, what's the matter? ”
Zhao hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Gu Yanming, who was speechless, then gritted his teeth, and then slowly spoke.
"What is the relationship between you and that Lu Chen now?"
Gu Simiao gently put down the bowl.
"Colleagues with a good relationship, nothing else."
Hearing this, Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Really? That's good, that's good......"
A look of great joy.
Gu Simiao frowned, sensing a trace of abnormality.
After the previous father's stern reprimand, her mother, who tended to be inflammatory, was a lot more honest, and she hadn't mentioned a similar topic with her for a long time, and now she suddenly brought it up, as if she wanted to interfere with her life a little, which suddenly made her instinctively feel that something was wrong.
"What's wrong? Mother, why do you suddenly say this? ”
Seeing the good daughter asking, Zhao hesitated, but still bit his lip and said, "Today, I went to Baoxiang Temple to offer incense for my mother and a few former boudoir friends, and when I was fasting, I heard a bad news about Lu Chen. ”
Hearing this, a flash of clarity suddenly flashed in Gu Simiao's eyes.
Zhao continued: "I heard... That Lu Chen and the chief general of today's number one anti-thief seat are a husband and wife, and there are righteous people who use retrospective spirit stones to record the picture of their life and death in the face of a strong enemy, and they will never give up, and the evidence is ironclad that Lu Chen is not a loyal minister, but an anti-thief, who entered the office only to disrupt the court and overturn the world for the anti-thief leader. ”
"They said that there have been many ministers in the court who have asked Lu Chen to punish him, but His Majesty is grateful for the loyalty he once pretended, and he was deceived by his rhetoric, even in the face of such ironclad evidence, he refused to execute Lu Chen, but trusted him as always, based on this, there are many people of insight in Luojing who are ready to jointly launch a document to denounce Lu Rebellion, get rid of the unsubordinate, and return the Great Xia court and the world to a peaceful ......"
As she spoke, she stared at Gu Simiao with a serious face.
"Although it sounds incredible, but there is no wind and no waves, this matter is so big, so many people say that Lu Chen is a thief, then the ironclad evidence is also true, Miao'er, since you have nothing to do with that Lu Chen, you must stay away from him in the future, and you must not have anything to do with him, lest Your Majesty suddenly wake up and implicate our Gu family when Lu Chen is killed......"
Hearing this, Gu Simiao's face gradually became solemn.
Syllable!
As soon as Zhao finished speaking, Gu Yanming slammed the porcelain bowl on the dining table, and the crisp sound suddenly startled Zhao.
"Husband... Husband..."
Gu Yanming snorted coldly, ignored her, and turned his head to look at Gu Simiao.
"Miao'er, don't listen to your mother's nonsense, what kind of person Lu Chen is, you know better than us, he can't be a thief at all, these news, as well as the so-called ironclad evidence, must be framed by some petty people, not to mention anything else, if he is really a thief, when His Majesty was controlled by the demon queen, he would not stand up at all, after all, the reason why Yu Jiuyuan had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation was that the queen mother was in chaos!"
"At the beginning, under the rule of the demon queen, corruption was rampant in various states and counties, and the people were struggling to make a living, so the turbulent Great Xia had the soil for the breeding of anti-thieves, and only then did Yu Jiuyuan and other rebellious thieves have the opportunity to grow, how could the anti-thieves hope that a holy lord like His Majesty would come to the court? Therefore, the anti-thief argument is pure nonsense. ”
Hearing this, Zhao suddenly became a little angry.
"But that's what they all say......"
Gu Yanming glanced at her coldly.
"When the Gu family was questioned by the court and imprisoned, they also said the same, but what happened?"
Faced with her husband's rhetorical question, Zhao's momentum shrank by half at once.
"It's... How can this be the same, Miao'er didn't really betray the imperial court......"
"Then how do you know that Lord Lu is not slandered? Could it be that the situation of our Gu family was much better than that of Lord Lu at the beginning? ”
Zhao was speechless.
"Hmph, long hair and short knowledge!"
Gu Simiao: "......"
She looked at her waist-length silver-white hair a little speechlessly.
This father's temperament feels a bit similar to Lu Chen's piece of wood...
Could it be that the truly loyal ministers are all straightforward people who have no heart?
The younger siblings continue to cook and act as invisible as much as possible, turning a deaf ear to everything around them.
Gu Yanming turned his head again and looked at Gu Simiao.
"Miao'er, as my father said, no one is qualified to interfere in your life in the future, so how to decide this matter, you can make your own decision, but there is one thing you have to remember."
After a pause, his voice became a little heavy.
"Lord Lu has a great kindness to our Gu family, no matter what, we can't do anything to be sorry for him."
Obviously, he also sensed that something unusual about this matter.
"Hmm."
Gu Simiao nodded.
"I know, Dad."
Seeing that his daughter's face did not waver in the slightest, Gu Yanming's extremely serious face gradually showed a smile.
………
It turned out that what the Zhao family heard in Baoxiang Temple about the text against Lu Chen was not a rumor.
Early the next morning, when Lu Chen opened the door of the mansion, he saw a crowd outside.
I saw dozens of Gongsheng, the eunuch of the country, dressed in Confucian scarves and shirts, and hundreds of scribes in green shirts gathered in front of the door, and as soon as they saw him come out, everyone immediately stared.
"The land thief is out!"
Several tribute students shouted, and then violently urged the spiritual power in their bodies, and while constantly insulting Lu Chen for being a thief, everyone was punished, and walked towards Lu Chen quickly.
Others immediately followed.
Seeing this scene, Lu Chen couldn't help but squint his eyes.
Oh? Is it coming so soon...
Facing the menacing group of hot-blooded teenagers and hot-blooded youths, Lu Chen did not see the slightest fear on his face, as if he didn't see them, he calmly stepped forward and walked forward.
Seeing that Lu Chen not only didn't turn around and ran, but walked towards this side defenselessly, everyone was stunned, obviously they didn't expect Lu Chen to be so brave.
But they were just stunned for a moment, and the next second, they sneered, and then quickened their pace, with a hint of impatience on their faces.
However, their sneers only lasted less than a second before they instantly froze on their faces with a sudden chill.
Click...
With a crisp sound, these uninvited guests suddenly found that their feet could not move, and at the same time, an extremely cold aura spread rapidly from their feet, and in an instant, their feet completely lost sensation.
"Ahh
One of the tributes screamed violently, but saw that his feet had formed a layer of frost at some point, and his whole body was firmly grounded, completely unable to move.
Not only him, but when the others looked down at their legs, they immediately found that their feet were also frozen.
"It's... It's ......"
Before they could react, an extremely terrifying momentum suddenly appeared out of thin air, like a mountain weighing down, instantly crushing them almost out of breath, and the whole person could not do anything except instinctively breathe desperately to survive.
The words that scolded Lu Chen angrily before, he couldn't say a word at all.
Smack...
Soon, someone fell to the ground heavily, panting greedily and violently, exhaling a white mist.
"Good day, Huaiyu."
As the tributes fell to the ground one by one, a crisp voice sounded softly.
A moment later, Gu Simiao's beautiful shadow slowly appeared in front of Lu Chen, looking at him with a smile on his face.
"I happened to be passing by, let's go to court together."
Hearing this, Lu Chen was speechless.
Gu Mansion is in the middle of his house and Suzaku Street, Gu Simiao's route to the court is to the west, only when he goes out to go to the court will pass by Gu Mansion, there will be no situation where Gu Simiao passes by Lu Mansion at all.
He didn't believe a single leg hair.
But with the kindness of the girl, what else can he say?
Shaking his head, Lu Chen directly walked past the fallen Gongsheng scribes and walked in front of Gu Simiao.
"Miss Gu, do you know that they will come to the Lu Mansion today to embarrass them?"
"Hmm."
Gu Simiao didn't deny it, and she didn't bother to pretend.
"I heard some bad rumors yesterday."
"Is it..."
Lu Chen sighed lightly, didn't ask any more questions, but walked forward by himself.
Gu Simiao turned around and followed.
And just when the two were facing side by side.
Da...
Under an inconspicuous eaves not far away, with a wave of air shaking, several ghost-like figures slowly appeared, and when they saw Gu Simiao permeated with extremely huge spiritual power, they followed behind Lu Chen step by step, and invariably withdrew the blade in their hands into the scabbard.
Immediately after, several people glanced at each other, and then two of them violently slammed their feet and swept towards the direction where Ziji City was located, while the others jumped in one by one and came to the group of Gongsheng who were easily subdued by Gu Simiao.
