When Lu Zhao's rest was over, on the first day of resuming the previous dynasty, he was left by Lu Wuji to talk.

focused on asking him about the hanging of the third prince, of course Lu Zhao would not admit it, and only asked Lu Wuji to ask Lu Qingming.

This can be regarded as a tacit understanding between their brothers, no matter how ugly the door trouble between them is, they will not let Lu Wuji interfere.

In fact, it wasn't like this before, when they were teenagers, they had a fierce quarrel, someone secretly complained to Lu Wuji in private, and then the brothers all fell into bad luck, Lu Wuji tortured people, but the six relatives didn't recognize it.

Since then, they have no longer complained, and if they have any grievances in private, they will also settle them separately, and they will not let Lu Wuji interfere.

Therefore, Lu Zhao is not afraid of revealing his stuff, even if he hangs Lu Qingming at the gate of the palace, Lu Wuji will not have any definite evidence, even if he has guesses, it is useless.

Sure enough, under his repeated questioning, Lu Zhao never let go, and Lu Wuji had no choice but to give up.

"What happened to the Kong Ming lantern last night?" Lu Wuji began a new round of questioning.

"The crown princess was tired a few days ago, and Erchen wanted to make her happy, so she got some Kong Ming lanterns to put together, and she was in a good mood after seeing it." Lu Zhao explained.

"In ancient times, there were princes of Zhou Youwang Beacon Fire Opera, and now you Lu Zhao lit a hundred Kong Ming lanterns, and Princess Bo smiled?" Lu Wuji's tone was gentle, it sounded like he was joking, but it was a heart-wrenching statement.

King Zhou You is a faint king through the ages, and comparing the two of them together, it is clear that he is beating him.

Lu Zhao immediately saluted: "Erchen doesn't dare, it was just Erchen and the crown princess last night." Originally, the retainers wanted to set off fireworks, but they were afraid of disturbing their father, so they replaced them with Kong Ming lanterns. ”

Lu Wuji was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Setting off fireworks can also make women happy?" ”

It's just that this sentence sounds like it is unrelated at first glance, and it makes people confused.

"If the fireworks were set off for that person, they would be happy." Lu Zhao thought about it and gave his own answer.

"Okay, there you go." Lu Wuji waved his hand and let him go.

Lu Zhao was a little puzzled by Lu Wuji's abrupt question, and he didn't understand until he returned to the dormitory at night, so he simply mentioned a few words to Chen Xueying.

Chen Xueying blinked, seemed to be a little stunned, and then suddenly laughed, as if she had figured out something.

"What are you laughing at? Did I tell any jokes? He was puzzled.

Chen Xueying laughed enough, then slowly stopped, poured a cup of tea to moisten her throat.

"This old pervert can't really want the iron tree to bloom, right? One foot is about to be buried in the coffin board, and you start to think about falling in love with a woman? "Her mouth is full of sharp language, most of which is curse.

If these words reached Lu Wuji's ears, it would probably make him angry to death.

Lu Zhao was shocked and nervous at the beginning, but now he is used to it.

"You're saying he's going to use fireworks to coax women?" He's not stupid either, just a little bit thorough.

"Naturally, or he would ask you what to do. I have to say that this Jia Zhaoyi is really capable, and she can make the old pervert give birth to such a charming mind. Chen Xueying said thoughtfully.

"If she comes to my alliance next time, maybe she doesn't have to refuse her indifferently, a concubine who is likely to fall out of favor at any time is completely different from a woman who can be treated with care by an old pervert."

Her brain raced, and then her mind started to think in an instant.

"You don't want to be in danger, you can realize this, Jia Zhaoyi herself can be more aware. Maybe she didn't ask for much at first, just to be able to live in peace in the harem, but with more and more holy favors, her mind will also become bigger, plus she is now pregnant, no one can say what she thinks after that. ”

Lu Zhao immediately stopped her, and then thought about it carefully, feeling that forming an alliance with Jia Zhaoyi would indeed have a lot of benefits.

"If you really want to form an alliance, let me negotiate with her."

Chen Xueying saw that he was so serious, but she didn't ask for anything else, so she couldn't help but snort.

"What's the difference between you going and me going? If the matter is revealed, the old pervert is held accountable, and you are beheaded, can I still get the benefit? She clearly disagreed.

That's why she really wants to go back to modern times, and even sitting on her will kill her.

The truth was just as she guessed, a few days later, one night, fireworks suddenly set off in the palace.

Colorful fireworks exploded in mid-air, brilliant and beautiful, and the door instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The masters of each palace are asking who is setting off fireworks, after all, fireworks are only released during the New Year's holidays, and even the people of the whole city can see them and enjoy with the people.

But this time, the fireworks were not festive, and there was not even a notice in the palace, how could such a big scene suddenly be made.

There happened to be several concubines living in the same palace, but the main hall and the secondary hall were divided, and they got together at this time, enjoying the fireworks and discussing at the same time.

"Who tossed it this time?"

"Could it be the crown prince again, in order to make the crown princess happy?"

"It's very likely that either young people still have a heart, even if it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is thousands of miles away, now that he has someone he cares about, he will try his best to make people happy."

"A few days ago, I made a hundred Kong Ming lanterns to make a wish, and today I started to set off fireworks again, look at this unstoppable posture, won't you have to make a hundred rings?"

"Hey, it's cheaper for us, let's watch the fireworks together."

Several people talked happily with each other, and began to ridicule the prince and the princess in their words, completely watching the play with the mentality of elders.

Soon a palace person came back to report: "Qi Yu Niangniang, this fireworks were not set off by the prince." ”

"Oh, who put that?" Several concubines couldn't help but be curious.

In addition to the prince, who else is so attentive and bold, after all, such a high-profile act of setting off fireworks, ordinary people really dare not do it.

The eunuch hesitated for a moment before he whispered, "It was released by the emperor." ”

"The emperor put it? Why, praying for a good harvest, do you want a good harvest this year? ”

Several people looked at each other and couldn't help but be shocked.

What kind of fireworks did the emperor set off, except for praying for the blessings of the people, they couldn't think of any other answer.

The reason why he didn't think about coaxing women was that when the emperor was young, he never had emotions like this, and no matter how much he pampered anyone, he was greedy for a moment of freshness, and few of them were pampered.

The second reason is that he is not only a man, but also the Ninety-Five Emperor who rules the world, how can he be so fanfare because of his little love and love, he must be concerned about the people of Limin.

It's a pity that this eunuch once again shattered their cognition, and he said hesitantly: "No, no, it's for-"

"Oh, if you want to say it, say it quickly, when it becomes a stammer, and then you can't tell if you drag it down." Someone couldn't bear it anymore and raised his voice to threaten.

In an instant, the little eunuch's tongue straightened, and he knelt directly on the ground, and said urgently: "The emperor is for Jia Zhaoyi's fireworks, saying that the heat is unbearable, Jia Zhaoyi is pregnant with a dragon heir, and also takes care of the emperor intimately, they are tired and thin, and General Zhong is fighting hard outside, so he can't come to escape the heat, and he won the battle before, so he set off fireworks to pray for General Zhong and Jia Zhaoyi's fetus in the womb." ”

He was so frightened that he spoke a long list of words so smoothly that he didn't even stumble.

The concubines, who were originally full of curiosity, instantly felt half cold after hearing this reason.

Some people couldn't sit still at all, and if it weren't for the back of the chair behind them, they were afraid that they would fall down in shock on the spot.

"Did the emperor really say that? Did he tell you that himself? ”

The little eunuch hurriedly shook his head, "The servants didn't see the emperor, many palace people were sent to inquire, it was Chief Qin who found the servants and said it himself." This is the original words of Chief Qin, the slave has a good memory, and he guarantees that it is word for word. ”

The little eunuch was obviously frightened by what Fang had just opened his mouth, and at this time he promised again and again, hoping that his master would spare him.

It's a pity that several concubines are angry at this time, and when they see him swearing like this, they are even more angry, and his master jumps up directly, clenching his fists and pounding him.

"You have a good memory, what a fart, this is showing off in front of this concubine."

"The master spares his life, and the master spares his life."

This kind of situation is playing out in various palaces, and the emperor obviously has no intention of hiding it, and even has the intention of showing off, so he asked Qin Youan to publicize it everywhere and say such straightforward words directly.

At first glance, it sounds like he is going to reward General Zhong, but these words put Jia Zhaoyi in the first place, which shows the emperor's true intentions, in fact, General Zhong is by the way, mainly to reward Jia Zhaoyi.

Concubine Yu naturally received the news, even if she was as indifferent as her, she couldn't hold back at the moment, and directly threw a set of tea sets angrily to stabilize the anger in her heart.

She sneered: "The emperor is so old, why did he come to engage in true love, don't you feel stumbling?" The previous Concubine Li was also a member of the Zhong family, and she was still a concubine, and she didn't see the emperor setting off fireworks for General Zhong, and even scolded General Zhong several times, and then pulled him out as a shield, just because she was afraid that the courtiers would not do his job properly and indulge in women. ”

In the entire palace, the saddest one at this moment must be the concubine.

She stayed in front of the hospital bed, and the third prince was lying on the bed, still looking sick.

He was rescued from the palace gate, although his life was worry-free, but these hands were wasted, and the imperial doctor came to diagnose the pulse, saying that he could cure it, and he could continue to practice martial arts, but he couldn't do the fine work.

Lu Qingming is a man, and he doesn't need to learn the delicate work of embroidery, so it didn't have a big impact originally.

However, the third prince already had a leg disease, and he was particularly sensitive to physical disabilities, and when he heard the imperial doctor say that his fingers could not do fine work, the suffering he suffered when he had a leg disease before also came to his heart, and the whole person was depressed in an instant.

was already weak and injured, coupled with a depressed mood, the whole person was like a serious injury, lying directly on the bed, groggy all day long, looking at the appearance of premature aging.

The concubines were in a mess, and they went to beg the emperor several times.

Originally, Lu Wuji was also angry, after all, his son was beaten like this, and he was still hanging on the palace gate, which made several important ministers laugh, and the self-esteem of the Ninety-Five Emperor did not allow such a thing to happen.

But the murderer has not been found, and even accompanied her to cry and beg several times in a row, and the emperor's annoyance gradually subsided.

It's only been a few days now, and Lu Wuji has stopped mentioning this matter, and tonight he is still laughing for the Pomeranians, setting off fireworks, and announcing to the whole palace, making everyone hate and jealous Jia Zhaoyi.

When the third prince woke up in a daze, he heard someone crying in his ear.

"Who's crying?" He asked in a hoarse voice.

"Qingming, are you awake?" The concubine immediately wiped two handfuls with a brocade handler and asked urgently.

"Mother, are you crying?"

"No, you heard me wrong. Thirsty or not? ”

The concubine hurriedly denied it, poured a cup of tea, and fed him lightly.

Lu Qingming drank the tea and looked at the concubine carefully, but the concubine's eyes dodged.

"Mother, what's going on? Your eyes are red, and you have clearly cried, so don't lie to me. ”

Seeing that she couldn't hide it, the concubine couldn't help but sigh, and said in a low tone: "I see that you are still not awake, I am worried, and I can't help but feel sad, but you are awake now, and I will let the imperial doctor take a look later." Son, you must cheer up, or you will let me rely on someone in the future! ”

The mother and son were talking, and there was a "snap" outside.

Lu Qingming looked up at the window, and the night sky was lit up by gorgeous fireworks.

"Who's setting off the fireworks? Is it Lu Zhao? His tone was low, and his face became gloomy.

Seeing that he was so annoyed, the concubine hurriedly denied: "It's not the prince, the emperor is in one day, how dare he be so presumptuous." This was asked by the emperor to put it. ”

"My father let me put it, and when I came out to escape the summer, it was easy for those courtiers to participate in the extravagance, why do you have to set off fireworks at this time, for what?"

"I didn't inquire clearly, I'll ask when you're well. It's not our turn to do this. The concubine avoided answering, but lowered her head and tucked the horns.

"Is it for Jia Zhaoyi?" Lu Qingming tried to explore the tunnel.

The concubine's movements stopped, and then returned to normal.

"The inquirer hasn't come back yet, and I don't know."

"Mother doesn't have to hide it from me, I need someone to stimulate me at this time, so I have the desire to survive. If my father really set off fireworks here for the sake of a Zhaoyi, making an appearance of celebrating the whole world, and not caring about my life or death, then it can stimulate my fighting spirit even more. He smiled wryly.

I don't know if it's anticipation or panic.

The concubine looked at him in a daze, as if she was pondering the truth of what he said, and finally she nodded.

"It's really for Jia Zhaoyi, and the emperor didn't hide it, and directly asked Qin Youan to tell all the palace people who went to inquire that he wanted to favor Jia Zhaoyi and tell the world."

Lu Qingming's face sank, he gritted his teeth, and there was hatred in his eyes.

"Son, don't take it too seriously, Jia Zhaoyi is not favored and has nothing to do with us. Anyway, even if she is not favored, she will not be able to reach her mother. I am already old and decrepit, and I don't expect your father's favor at all, I only hope that you will be safe and not suffer these hardships again. ”

"This time, you were plotted by someone, lying in the same bed as the crown princess, and letting the prince put such a heavy hand on you, it must have been done by the second prince. The two of them are the ones you should deal with. It's hateful that the emperor wants to use you to contain each other, and you have received such a heavy weight because of them, and it is not good to join forces with one of them to deal with the remaining one, and I don't know when this revenge will be able to take revenge. ”

Lu Qingming's eyes flashed, obviously he didn't agree with what the concubine said, but he couldn't say a lot of things.

"Mother, don't worry, I have my own plans." He whispered reassuringly.

Chen Xueying and Lu Zhao stood hand in hand in the courtyard at this moment, looking up at the sky.

She couldn't help but sigh: "Tut, this hundred rings have passed, and they are still playing." The emperor has made a lot of money, more than other people's birthdays. ”

Lu Zhao didn't say anything, just watched seriously.

Chen Xueying couldn't bear the loneliness, after all, this fireworks were set off by the old pervert for Jia Zhaoyi, full of gossip.

"Don't say that this old pervert is very good at tossing, I think he is competing with you, you put a hundred Kong Ming lanterns, and he will have more fireworks than you. Look at it, I estimate two hundred. ”

Lu Zhao pursed his lips and said disapprenously: "Let it go, it's better to have three hundred rings and four hundred rings, and tomorrow the official will arrest him with ginseng." ”

Chen Xueying sneered lightly: "Don't put gold on the faces of your Northern Qi officials, they don't have the guts." ”

If it was replaced by Dayan's speech official, she would still have some confidence, but the Northern Qi Dynasty seriously emphasized martial arts and neglected literature, and Lu Wuji was notoriously strong in control, and even the military generals with outstanding military achievements did not dare to disobey him, let alone the Wenchen who was not taken seriously.

"What are you doing so seriously, do fireworks look better than me?" Chen Xueying saw him talking to herself, but she didn't look at herself, and couldn't help but bump him with her shoulder, and her tone was dissatisfied. ：，，
