Looking at Sheng Tianyou, who was leaving in a negative mood, Yin Xu said to Lu Dingyuan with a look of embarrassment: "Master Lu, Your Majesty has an order, and the miscellaneous family does not dare to disobey it, it is offended." ”

Lu Dingyuan got up and walked out of the Zhengyang Hall with an expressionless face, lifted his robe, and knelt straight on the ground covered with layers of cold snow in this snowy winter day.

As the sun set, Mu Weiwei frequently looked outside the courtyard gate many times, and there was a sorrow between her eyebrows and eyes that she didn't even notice.

"Madam, do you want to ask Jiu Niang to go to the outer courtyard to have a look? The lord may have returned home a little late because of his heavy official duties. Mama Ruan led Lu Qingbai to Mu Weiwei's side and said softly.

"Mama, what did you say, how could I worry that he would not return home?" Mu Weiwei replied duplicitously, took Lu Qingbai in her hand and walked to the table and sat down.

Mama Ruan walked to Lu Qingbai's side to prepare vegetables for him with a faceless expression, Mu Weiwei didn't dare to face Mama Ruan directly, and concentrated on dinner.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the mother and son sat down, a man's voice begged to be seen outside the courtyard gate.

Without Lu Dingyuan's order and Mu Weiwei's summons, the foreign men in the mansion would never dare to rashly step into the inner courtyard, and they could only shout loudly outside the courtyard to see their wife.

"Ma'am, it's Thirteen's voice, but you want to call him in?" Jiu Niang's ears are very good, and she recognized it as the thirteenth voice at once, but without Mu Weiwei's approval, she didn't dare to let people in casually.

Mu Weiwei didn't know what happened to Thirteen suddenly coming to the door, so he nodded towards Jiu Niang.

Thirteen strode in, and said to Mu Weiwei with an eager face: "Madam, something has happened to the lord. ”

"What's the matter? Isn't Xiangye an errand boy in the palace? How could something happen? Where are the others now? Mu Weiwei put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, stood up and asked with a helpless expression.

Thirteen didn't say it explicitly, but just brought Lu Dingyuan's words: "Please Mrs. go to the Surprise Courtyard with her subordinates, and the prime minister wants to see you." ”

Since Lu Dingyuan wants to see her, it means that the others are awake now, then something tricky must have happened, otherwise it would be impossible for him to delay it until today according to his usual duty hour.

Glancing at the uneasy villain opposite, Mu Weiwei didn't want him to participate in too many adult affairs, so he coaxed, "Barbarian, mother go to your father's place to have a look, can Barbarian play in the room for a while first?" The mother came back soon. ”

Lu Qingbai pursed his lips and wanted to refuse, but his mother didn't let him go, he wanted to listen to his mother.

"Okay, my mother wants to come back soon."

"It's pretty good! Mother will be back soon. Mu touched his little head lovingly, nodded at Mama Ruan, and then took Jiuniang and Thirteen out of the Frost Fall Courtyard.

When he arrived at the Surprise Courtyard, Lu Dingyuan was lying on the bed in the study with a pale face.

The doctor was applying plasters to his knees, but his face was a little solemn.

"What's wrong with your leg? Hurt? Before the man could come up to him, the words of concern had already blurted out uncontrollably.

Mu Weiwei hated his disobedient heart, and he hated how much he cared about him.

Listening to the strange concern with a little familiarity, Lu Dingyuan smiled at Mu Wei and said, "I just knelt for two hours, but I didn't expect that I almost couldn't walk." ”

When the house doctor heard Lu Dingyuan's attitude of taking it seriously, he suddenly became angry, and he didn't care about the difference between master and servant, so he reprimanded with a tiger face.

"Madame, don't listen to the lord's nonsense! What can't you walk? Is this a light sentence that can be uncovered if you can't walk? ”

"What time of year is it? The Lord Monarch knelt in the ice and snow without any pads for two hours! Do you really think you can't be beaten with iron? ”

"If you can't take good care of it, every cold winter in the future, I'm afraid that the lord's legs will not be complete, and the cold disease is not a joke!"

"It's not that serious, okay, you go down first."

Lu Dingyuan is very clear about his physical condition, he has survived the bitter cold of the military camp for three years, but after kneeling for two hours, how big can it be.

After the excitement, the doctor also realized his gaffe, put down the plaster in his hand and said, "Yes, my subordinates will retire." ”

There were only two husbands and wives left in the study, and Lu Dingyuan stretched out his hand towards Mu Weiwei.

"Weiwei, come here."

Mu frowned slightly and walked to a stop a foot away from him, looking at his outstretched hand towards him, the hand that had held her tightly and not letting go.

Since when did the hand, which was originally just a little callouse, now have a few small scars on it.

Is it because the hand holding the pen has changed to a knife and gun, so it is also wearing armor?

"Weiwei, don't worry, I'm fine."

"Mother said that you once carried a hundred or ten catties of rocks for two taels of broken silver in winter, and went out early and returned late every day for the livelihood of the family, I just knelt for two hours, compared with the suffering you have suffered, what is this?"

Lu Dingyuan was about to stand up as he spoke, but the next moment he was stopped by Mu Weiwei, "What are you doing!" Do you want your legs anymore? ”

Suddenly scolded by her like this, Lu Dingyuan subconsciously stopped his movements, and defended himself with some grievances: "I just want to be closer to you." ”

Mu Weiwei endured the inexplicable anger, for the sake of being a patient, he reluctantly moved forward another foot, and finally did as he wished.

"You are not a reckless person, why are you punished today?"

Whether it was him in the past or now, he is cautious and confident, and it is rare to see him make any mistakes.

Lu Dingyuan held her cold hand quietly, and replied with a flat face: "It's just that the emperor is looking for an excuse to be angry, as soon as the Empress Dowager Song died, he boasted that no one could restrain him anymore, and it happened that Mama Du returned to the palace to complain, and the emperor was upset and wanted to beat me." ”

"Sheng Qingyi is crying to the emperor again?" Except for this reason, Mu Weiwei really couldn't think of anything else.

"Not exactly." Lu Dingyuan rubbed her hands, held them hard to prevent her from breaking free, and then talked about the real reason why she was punished by Sheng Tianyou for kneeling.

"The eldest princess's deceased concubine is my best friend in the army, he died inexplicably in the water bandit disaster three years ago, the emperor suspects that his generals are used by me, but there is no evidence and I can't do anything, I can only use Sheng Qingyi's name to spread fire."

Sheng Tianjiao's young widow and child, Mu Weiwei naturally heard Mama Ruan mention it, but he didn't expect Lu Dingyuan to have an old relationship with Mama Ruan, and it was no wonder that Sheng Tianjiao would let Mama Ruan come to his side.

"Is it true or is the emperor framing you?" Mu Weiwei suddenly raised his head to look at him, and those bright eyes crashed into Lu Dingyuan's field of vision.

He can defend himself skillfully in front of everyone, tell his innocence and prove his innocence, but only in the face of her, he doesn't want to have a trace of estrangement with her.
