Chapter 369: Lu Zhao returns home
Chu Fuyan said solemnly: "Don't worry, madam, even if I live on the streets one day, I won't let you live a hard life." ”
Lin Qingwan sneered: "Since you have said so, then I will believe you once." ”
The two of them talked together for a while, and Chu Fuyan officially began to deal with what had happened recently.
However, before he could figure it out, on the way back to his house, he was blocked by Lu Zhao's personal maid.
"Master Horse, the princess invites you to come over to the house. Chu Fuyan's face was slightly gloomy, and he said coldly: "Go and tell your princess that I don't have anything to say to her, so don't come to me again in the future." ”
Hearing Chu Fuyan's words, Lu Zhao's personal maid suddenly became anxious: "Master Horse, if I can't invite you today, I will definitely be blamed by the princess, you should be considerate and considerate of the slave maid, and go with me." ”
Chu Fuyan's expression was complicated, obviously thinking of Lu Zhao's character, and it was really possible for her to do such a thing to anger the slave maid.
However, knowing is knowing, but it doesn't mean that he will compromise unconditionally, there are many slaves and maids in the princess's mansion like her, if he has to take care of everyone, wouldn't there be no majesty at all.
"It's useless to talk too much, you go back and tell me what I mean, she won't do anything to you. ”
As he spoke, he ignored the maid's mournful look and rode away directly.
The maid who returned to the princess's mansion told Lu Zhao this sentence.
Lu Zhao's face suddenly turned pale, and there was a hint of sadness in her expression, she had always been a woman of Chu Fuyan, and she loved him so much, she didn't expect him to be so ruthless.
"Since he doesn't come, then I can't force it, you go and clean up and enter the palace with me. ”
She saw the predicament that the Chu family was facing recently, and the reason why she chose to go back at this time was also to hope that the person behind the scenes could see her identity as a princess and show mercy to Chu Fuyan.
"Princess, are we going to enter the palace and ask the emperor to make the decision for you? ”
Although she doesn't know much about Chu Fuyan, as long as she is a man with some ability, she will probably be tired of her wife oppressing people with power.
What a maid can think of, Lu Zhao can naturally think of, she said indifferently: "It doesn't matter what I do, no matter what I do, he still doesn't have me in his heart, only Lin Qingjuan's woman." ”
Hearing this, the maid hesitated and said, "In that case, what else do you want to do in the palace, princess?"
Lu Zhao smiled bitterly, I'm afraid there are not many women like her who know that there will be no results, but still want to get up.
She immediately reprimanded: "You know that there is no good in that, just do what I tell you." ”
The maid was silent for a moment, put on the princess's court clothes for Lu Zhao to enter the palace, and left the princess's mansion in a carriage.
Emperor Dongjia in the imperial study was still thinking about sending Chu Fuyan to guard the frontier, and suddenly heard that Lu Zhao asked to see him, and his expression was quite surprised.
"Let her in. ”
As soon as Lu Zhao entered the door, he directly lifted his skirt and knelt down: "Zhao'er has something to ask his father to call the shots." ”
Emperor Dongjia concentrated on the recital, and didn't even raise his head: "Oh?
"My daughter asks her father to give me an order to return to Chu Mansion, and I promise that I will be a good concubine of Chu Fuyan, and I will never cause trouble again, and I will not let you be embarrassed. ”
Emperor Dongjia laughed at first, and then said again: "Do you know the truth that you have no jokes? Just because of your own affairs, how many wills your father has made, don't you count them in your heart? Or do you want your father to be a complete faint monarch?"
Lu Zhao was suddenly taken aback by his sternness, and he didn't care about any etiquette at the moment, so he stood up directly and said: "Father, you know that my daughter doesn't mean this, I really like Chu Fuyan, even if he doesn't like me, I want to stay with him and ask my father to fulfill it." ”
Emperor Dongjia suddenly had a headache from the noise: "Since you have made up your mind, it is not impossible for me to fulfill your wish, but if you ask me to come to me for Chu Fuyan's affairs in the future, then you will no longer be able to talk so well." ”
When Lu Zhao heard this, his expression suddenly became happy, and he knelt down happily and said, "Daughter, thank you, father." ”
Emperor Dongjia waved his hand: "The purpose of your visit this time has also been achieved, then don't stay here to get in my way, pack up and go back to Chu Mansion, my holy decree will then be sent to Chu Mansion." ”
Lu Zhao respectfully retired, and then arrived at the princess's mansion and began to pack his things.
At the same time, Emperor Dongjia's decree was also delivered on time.
When he arrived, because Chu Fuyan was not in the mansion, the holy decree was greeted by Chu Yan and his family kneeling down.
Hearing the content of the holy decree, Lin Qingwan's face sank, the matter in front of her had not been resolved, but she didn't expect Lu Zhao to come back at this time, and she didn't know what the purpose of her trip was.
It's just that since it is an order from Emperor Dongjia, then they naturally have no way to disobey, since Lu Zhao is back, then they will be well settled, and strive not to make any mistakes.
Not long after the group received the holy decree, Chu Fuyan got the news from his colleagues, and hurriedly returned to the mansion to ask Lin Qingwan for news.
"What's the matter, why did she come back all of a sudden?" Chu Fuyan had some questions.
Such a big thing happened, Emperor Dongjia would actually send his daughter back to Chu Mansion, which he didn't expect.
After all, as the king of a country, the most important thing is face, and the person who can make Emperor Dongjia abandon these is either the person behind the scenes, or Lu Zhao must have put a lot of effort into it.
Lin Qingwan said angrily: "You ask me? I still want to ask you, she obviously lived in the palace during this time, why did she suddenly come back at this time?"
Chu Fuyan sighed helplessly: "This time she didn't come back by herself, but asked for the holy decree of Emperor Dongjia, speaking of which, we have no way to drive her away, after all, she just lived in the palace at the beginning, I didn't give her a letter of resignation, nominally it is still my concubine." ”
As soon as he said this, Lin Qingwan became even more angry, saying that it was not appropriate for Chu Fuyan to handle things, otherwise such a thing would not have happened now.
"Anyway, I don't have the heart to deal with her, if something really happens, you still have to bear it, I am only responsible for the safety of this family, and it is not within my jurisdiction to deal with trivial matters. ”
Chu Fuyan suddenly smiled: "Okay, according to what you said, I will bear all the responsibilities of what happened." ”
While the two were still talking, Lu Zhao's carriage also happened to arrive at the door of the Chu Mansion.
The little guy who was guarding the door saw that Lu Zhao was back, so he hurriedly went to the house to spread the word and unload the things on the carriage for her.
She was not polite, and said directly to her maid: "You look at them, transport all these things to my room, don't bump into them." ”
The maid immediately turned around and should be, when Lu Zhao was packing up her things, she was watching from the sidelines, the box was full of valuable porcelain, as well as some fabrics for making clothes, these were Lu Zhao's favorites, she naturally had to look at it, and she couldn't make any mistakes.
After arranging the things at hand, Lu Zhao immediately set off alone and went to Lin Qingwan's courtyard.
When Chu Fuyan arrived, he was still there, but Lin Qingjuan immediately stepped forward as if he was fine: "Welcome Sister Lu back." ”
Chu Fuyan, who was sitting not far away and watching, twitched the corners of her mouth, if she hadn't seen what Lin Qingwan looked like in private, maybe she would really be deceived by her simple and harmless expression.
If Lu Zhao is vicious, then Lin Qingwan's skills are deeper than her, and the whole person is black to the bones, and it is a black lotus.
Being treated like this by Lin Qingwan, Lu Zhao was a little embarrassed, and she smiled stiffly: "I came back this time, did I cause you trouble?"
There was really some trepidation in her tone, which surprised the two people on the side.
Lu Zhao has always been a character who is not afraid of heaven and earth, when will he be afraid of becoming like this because of this little thing.
The room was silent for a while, Lu Zhao moved his lips, and was about to explain, but was interrupted by Lin Qingwan with a smile: "Sister Lu is too worried, there is no such thing as you think, you are the concubine of the husband, speaking of which we are still a family, where is there any trouble or not, do you say, husband?"
Lin Qingwan's voice made a bend in the word husband, and Chu Fuyan's goosebumps came out when he listened.
He had no choice but to nod obediently: "What Madam said is very true, the following things will be arranged by you, I still have some things, I want to go out now." ”
Chu Fuyan said, and immediately went out quickly.
Lin Qingwan watched from behind, almost couldn't hold back his laughter, his expression as if he was being chased by a wolf, it looked really funny.
As soon as Chu Fuyan left, Lu Zhao also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, she said: "I know that when I come back this time, you may suspect me of bad intentions, but I can swear to God that I definitely have no bad thoughts." I have already heard about the matter of Chu Mansion, and the reason why I came back this time is nothing more than to help him, and when the crisis is resolved, I can return to the palace immediately. ”
Lin Qingwan was silent on her face, but she still had a little doubt in her heart, Lu Zhao said that she would change it, but she didn't believe that a person's personality would suddenly change to this extent.
"Why are you willing to help Chu Mansion willingly, and you still love him?" Lin Qingwan asked rhetorically.
Lu Zhao smiled bitterly: "If I say I don't love it, not only can't I fool myself, but I can't fool you." Yes, I still love him, but I can't be so strong that I'm desperate. ”
