When Lu Chen woke up again, he found that he was already in the room of the inn.

"Uh-huh."

As soon as I propped up my upper body, my brain gushed out with a feeling of swelling pain, and my mind was a little groggy for a while, and I couldn't help but groan.

As soon as the sound fell, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

Squeak

The door was gently opened, and then Chai Hongyu, dressed in a red suit, appeared at the door.

Seeing Lu Chen get up, a flash of joy flashed on her face, and then she walked quickly towards Lu Chen.

"Huaiyu, you're awake."

"Chai Girl."

Lu Chen rubbed his slightly swollen temples in response.

After regaining consciousness, the memories also flooded back like a tide, and in just a moment, he recalled what had happened before he lost consciousness, and suddenly he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly.

I will be unconscious on the spot.

Damn, it's too TM to worry about surgery or something, and if you come a few more, I'm afraid you won't have to die suddenly on the spot

Chai Hongyu walked to the side of the bed, lowered her body, and then reached out without saying a word, gently placed it on Lu Chen's chest, and constantly sensed the situation in Lu Chen's body through her heart.

After a moment, her face relaxed slightly.

It seems that Lu Chen is simply overworked, as long as he rests for a while, his body is fine.

"Huaiyu, you don't want to be so rash in the future."

While retracting her hand, Chai Hongyu sighed lightly.

"Although it is said that the officials should be diligent and love the people, the people are anxious, it is natural to stand up, and there is nothing wrong with saving that girl, but you are now in a high position, and you are concerned about the well-being of all the people, if there is anything wrong."

Lu Chen waved his hand.

"With His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Holy King here, nothing can happen."

As a native of Zhongzhou, Chai Hongyu naturally knows what the Holy King means.

And although the empress does not have the terrifying strength of the Holy King, she is the actual controller of Great Xia, the supreme human emperor, the way of the emperor is unparalleled in the world, extremely strong, and there are countless treasures of heaven and earth, which should not be underestimated.

Compared to them, Liyue's own strength, as a master of Xuanjiwei, was completely negligible.

If something happens under their full protection, even if it is a powerhouse like her, it will be useless.

But even so, Chai Hongyu still shook her head and didn't agree with Lu Chen's words.

"Don't be afraid of 10,000 in everything, just in case, there is never anything foolproof in this world, even if Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Holy King are strong, it is impossible to prevent accidents from happening, if you rely too much and put yourself in danger, it is very likely to expose flaws, giving the enemy a chance to take advantage of."

As she spoke, she looked at Lu Chen with a solemn expression.

"Seek the country first, now there are more and more traitors in the court who hate you to the core, and they can't wait to kill them and then hurry up, Huaiyu acts, you should protect yourself, this is not only for yourself, but also for the people of the world, for the country and the society of Daxia."

Regarding Chai Hongyu's advice, Lu Chen sighed lightly.

"Miss Chai, I understand what you said, and I know that you are doing it for my good, but"

He lifted the quilt from his body and slowly got up.

"If I don't save the ugly girl this time, the next time I encounter a similar situation, I may make the same choice, and then use excuses like [I have a hard time] and "I have to take care of the overall situation" to numb myself until I am completely numb."

"People have the inertia of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, as long as they compromise with themselves once, there will be a second, third, and again compromises, which is enough to destroy any belief, as the so-called embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed in the anthill, who can guarantee that after compromising for the so-called overall situation, they can also clarify their hearts and move forward?"

Hearing Lu Chen say this, Chai Hongyu was speechless for a while.

I don't know how to persuade it anymore.

Intellectually, she should refute Lu Chen and tell him not to take risks in the future, after all, he is too important to the country and the people now, and he can't tolerate the slightest mistake.

But what Lu Chen said was right, his insistence is, in a sense, also a manifestation of taking into account the overall situation.

In the end, he's also taking precautions.

So Chai Hongyu began to get entangled, and her expression became a little confused.

"Okay, let's not talk about that."

Lu Chen didn't talk to her anymore, but got down to business.

"Miss Chai, how is that ugly girl? How long have I been in a coma? Did she get better while in a coma? ”

Seeing that as soon as he opened his mouth, Chai Hongyu couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart.

That's right, this is the Governor Lu whom she admires so much, and only such a great husband who is unparalleled in the world is worthy of her giving everything without regrets and being willing to follow.

In that case, you can only work on yourself.

Only by constantly improving his cultivation, constantly becoming stronger, and becoming stronger than anyone else, can he protect Lu Chen to the greatest extent.

As soon as she thought of this, she couldn't help but clench her fists.

At this moment, in her heart, there was an unprecedented desire for power.

Even more hungry than a child.

After a few moments, she quickly adjusted her emotions and responded, "You've been in a coma for a day, and after you passed out yesterday, that girl was sent back to the Xipingfang camp by Liyue girls, and early this morning, she took Liu Ruowei and Liu over with them, and they haven't come back yet, I don't know what the specific situation is, I'll know when Liyue girls come back." ”

"But what is certain is that the ugly girl is not dead, otherwise Liyue girl would have returned to report to Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Lu Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Director Liu, have they arrived? When was this? ”

"Last night."

Chai Hongyu doesn't have any prejudices against Liu Ruowei, after all, she just knows that there is such a person, and she doesn't know much about other aspects, and she is not interested in understanding.

"yes, since they're here......"

Lu Chen propped up his body and was about to get out of bed.

"Without further ado, Miss Chai, please send me to Xipingfang."

Chai Hongyu subconsciously wanted to stop it, but when she thought of Lu Chen's words, she reluctantly swallowed back the words that had been dissuading.

"I'll go and report to Your Majesty first."

She stood up and told Lu Chen to wait for her here for a while, then turned around and left the room, walking quickly towards the attic where the empress was.

Lu Chen didn't leave without hesitation.

Soon, footsteps sounded outside the door again, and of course there was more than one.

A moment later, the figures of the empress and Chai Hongyu appeared at the door.

"Wechen see Your Majesty."

Lu Chen habitually bowed to the empress.

Jiang Chengwan waved her hand, then looked at Lu Chen, and said softly:

"Lu Qing, you just passed out in a coma due to overwork yesterday, and your body is not yet well, today you have a good rest, you have enough spirits, will you go over tomorrow?"

Regarding the empress's kind words and persuasion, Lu Chen responded without hesitation:

"Your Majesty, your kindness is appreciated, but ...... Wechen really can't rest assured. ”

"Now that the blood epidemic is raging, the hearts of the people in Xingping County are fluctuating, the people are panicked and tortured, and Weichen, as an official of the imperial court, can he have a moment of slack off at this critical time?"

Seeing Lu Chen's resolute attitude, Jiang Chengwan suddenly showed a look that really didn't take you seriously.

In the end, she could only sigh secretly and nod helplessly.

What else can I do?

Is it still possible to use a cup of sleeping black tea to get him down?

If he did this in this special period, as long as Lu Chen was not stupid, he would definitely know what was going on, and what would he think of her when the time came?

Knowing it earlier would have made him wake up a day late......

With the approval of the empress, Lu Chen immediately cleaned up, and Chao couldn't wait to leave the inn accompanied by the two.

"By the way, Your Majesty."

After getting into the carriage, Lu Chen seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked the empress:

"What about His Highness the Holy King? Don't you come with us? ”

Jiang Chengwan habitually stroked the hair that was quite obstructive in her ears, and said softly: "The Holy King has an old man to visit, and he went out not long ago, and I don't know when he will come back, so I won't wait for him." ”

"Chai Aiqing is here, it's enough."

Chai Hongyu raised her hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."

"The deceased?"

Lu Chen was a little puzzled.

As we all know, the Holy King comes from the Holy Realm, and before the Divine Soldiers descended from heaven last year to help the Empress Yuyu in the world, he had never appeared in the mortal world, and he had never even left the Holy Realm, and now he was in the hinterland of the Great Xia Imperial Capital, where did he come from?

"Has Your Majesty seen the old man and knows the identity of that person?"

Seeing that he was quite concerned about this, Jiang Chengwan thought about it for a while, and then spoke again: "See, it's a man of about twenty years old, he doesn't look special, as for the identity, I didn't ask, and the Holy King didn't tell me." ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but be a little speechless.

Miss, do you know how important the Cangming Holy King is to Great Xia now?

Not to mention anything else, the terrifying deterrent power of the Holy King alone is the most basic guarantee to ensure the implementation of the New Deal.

If it weren't for the full support of the Holy King, with the prestige of the Empress, I am afraid that it would be a question of whether the government decree could leave the land of Gyeonggi, although in the long run, the Empress must not rely too much on the power of the Cangming Holy Realm, and one day she will have to get rid of this dependence.

After all, it is impossible for every Holy King to help the empress unconditionally like now.

But there is always a process to everything.

For now, the empress is inseparable from the support of the Holy King.

Whether it was Tiance Mansion or Xuan Jiwei, or Fang Yu, who was gradually emerging, and other capable officials who had been trained by Lu Chen, most of them were people from the Holy Realm.

The trustworthy Daxia Nengchen, he Lu Chen is one, Liu Dongyang, Fang Ping, Xia Yan, Wu Yue, etc. can also be entrusted with important tasks, and some of them also have reserve talents such as Lin Yi and Chu Fan, in terms of combat power, Chai Hongyu and Gu Simiao, the two powerhouses of the One Realm, are proper royalists, and the forbidden army has also become one of the strong armies after absorbing the Qingning Army and the Cangling Army one after another.

But on the whole, the current power in the hands of the empress is not enough to support her to take charge alone.

If the Holy King is influenced by someone or something and suddenly stops supporting the empress, it will be an absolutely devastating blow to the empress who is now unstable.

In this case, you don't care about the Saint King's movements

It's as if the Holy King of the People's Republic of China owed you in his last life, and there is absolutely no possibility of betrayal of you, this girl's heart is a little too big. Why don't you ask a few more words and express the importance you attach to the Holy King

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Lu Chen's face was different, Jiang Chengwan couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "Does Lu Qing care about anything?" ”

Lu Chen retracted his thoughts, and then shook his head.

"It's nothing, Weichen was thinking about this blood epidemic, and he was a little distracted, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

It's hard to say this kind of thing, so he has to find an excuse to fool around.

Jiang Chengwan naturally wouldn't blame Lu Chen.

"Really? That's good. ”

Lu Chen rubbed his temples with a little headache.

This girl. It's so worrying.

Let's go back and have a few drinks with the Holy King, and see if I can talk about it.

Between words, the carriage came to the entrance of Xipingfang.

The three of them got out of the car one after another, and Chai Hongyu walked behind Lu Chen very consciously and let Lu Chen and the empress walk side by side.

Jiang Chengwan glanced at her with a subtle expression, and then nodded imperceptibly.

Lu Chen was completely unaware of her small movements.

At this time, all his attention was on the patches of wards in front of him.

He then casually called a Qingning guard and inquired about Liyue's ward, and after learning that Liyue was now in Ward No. 7, he walked briskly towards Ward No. 7.

"Huh? Lord Lu? ”

As soon as he walked to the door of the barracks, a familiar voice suddenly sounded beside him.

Lu Chen subconsciously turned his head to look, and suddenly saw a beautiful woman in a white robe with a small medicine box around her waist looking at him in surprise.

It is Liu Dongyang's youngest daughter, a talented girl who is as famous as Xiao Yun at a young age, and the director of the Qingbao Bureau, a subordinate department of the Tiangong Division, Liu Ruowei.

The moment she saw Liu Ruowei, Jiang Chengwan's good-looking brows frowned almost instinctively.

"It's you, Director Liu."

Lu Chen smiled slightly and greeted Liu Ruowei.

Liu Ruowei saw the empress beside Lu Chen clearly at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted the empress.

"The director of the Weichen Green Capsule Bureau, see Your Majesty!"

As the ladies of the Liu family, naturally they don't even understand the most basic etiquette of monarchs and ministers.

Jiang Chengwan took her hand and said lightly: "Liu Aiqing doesn't have to be polite. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Ruowei respectfully walked through the process, and then slowly got up.

Immediately after, without waiting for Lu Chen to ask, Jiang Chengwan looked at Liu Ruowei with a solemn face and asked, "How is that girl now?" Do you have an eye for the fight against the blood plague? ”

Hearing her emperor's personal inquiry, Liu Ruowei immediately said: "Back to Your Majesty, through the efforts of everyone in the Green Bag Bureau, that ugly girl is now out of danger. ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes suddenly relaxed.

Just get out of danger.

Then he was about to ask for some details, but every time he just wanted to speak, Jiang Chengwan took the first step to ask Liu Ruowei to explain the current situation of the ugly girl, and walked inside while listening.

It was the emperor who was asking, and Lu Chen, as a courtier, was naturally not good at interrupting.

And what Jiang Chengwan asked was what he wanted to know, so there was no need to repeat the question, so he silently shut up and prepared to listen to Liu Ruowei.

Also because it was the emperor who was questioning, Liu Ruowei could only report to Jiang Chengwan, and she couldn't catch a second sentence with Lu Chen from beginning to end. (End of chapter)
