"Huh." Cheng Jin shook the whisk and sighed: "What makes Your Majesty most angry about the imperial prison is not that Marquis Pinglan breaks into the imperial prison without permission, nor is the imperial concubine interceding for them."
Cheng Jia was even more puzzled, "If you're not angry at all, why else?"
Cheng Jin rolled his eyes and asked him again, "Why did I accept such a stupid apprentice like you?"
He held a fly whisk in one hand and put the other behind his back, looking at the majestic palace wall in the distance with deep eyes, "As an emperor, what you care about most is your own majesty. Pinglanhou can use the title of noble concubine to take people away from him." Taking him away by imperial edict would undoubtedly violate His Majesty's taboos, and this is one of them."
"Secondly, his information was too well-informed and he came too quickly. The same goes for the imperial concubine. She was already ready to plead for mercy before His Majesty said anything. She obviously heard the news in advance. Where did she hear it? Who did she hear it from? Tell her?"
Cheng Jia finally had an idea at this moment, "Oh! I know, the imperial concubine has someone with your majesty."
Cheng Jin nodded, "The imperial concubine stretched her hand too long and took too broad a role. She had lost her duty as a concubine. Only then did she touch your Majesty's hand. Your Majesty took away the power in the hands of the Fifth Highness. One was to beat Jin. The second is to beat the noble concubine, and the third is to warn the Fifth Highness."
Cheng Jia suddenly realized it and said with emotion: "The imperial concubine was so clever that she was misled by her cleverness. She didn't get what she wanted, but she didn't say anything, and she even made herself a mess."
"Being with you is like being with a tiger. You still have a lot to learn. Please use your elm head more in the future."
Cheng Jin waved his hand: "Hurry up and invite His Highness Seventh Prince to come over."
"Thank you Master for your teaching, apprentice, let's go now!" Cheng Jia rolled away with a smile.
Cheng Jin looked at his back, laughed for a while, shook his head and went back to serve in front of the emperor.

The sky was still sunny when I woke up in the morning, but after half a day a thick layer of clouds had accumulated, and it looked like it was going to rain.
Lu Xingyue walked to the entrance of the palace. As soon as he raised his head, he heard someone calling him: "Sanlang——"
Lu Xingyue turned his head in surprise and saw Shen Lansui standing in front of the carriage on the side, waving to him.
He stepped forward quickly, opened his mouth and exhaled a cloud of white mist, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to take you home." Shen Lansui smiled and put the back of her hand against his. Feeling a little cold, she handed him her hand stove.
No matter when, the word "go home" is extremely tempting.
It is even more heart-warming to say it from the mouth of your sweetheart.
Lu Xingyue looked at Shen Lansui's smiling features and couldn't help but laugh too.
"good."
He got on the carriage first, holding the stove in one hand and holding Shen Lansui's hand in the other. When she stepped on the pedal, he stretched out his arms to wrap around her waist and protected her into the carriage.
The guard at the entrance of the palace looked at this scene and couldn't help but said: "The Marquis and his wife are so loving."
Lu Xingyue nodded with a smile, lowered the car curtain and closed the door.
Shen Lansui sat down opposite him, with half a cup of unfinished tea on the small table in the carriage.
A charcoal pot was placed a few times, and the curtain was opened. The carriage was as warm as spring, with the faint fragrance of Shen Lansui's body.
Lu Xingyue breathed a sigh of relief.
"I heard that Marquis Pinglan went to the imperial prison to make trouble? How about it? Your Majesty didn't say anything, right?"
Shen Lansui poured Lu Xingyue a cup of hot tea.
Lu Xingyue took it, took a sip, and told her the whole story. Of course, the version he told this time was the real version, without any added extravagance like in front of the emperor.
Shen Lansui nodded after hearing this, "In this case, His Majesty may become suspicious of the Imperial Concubine and the Fifth Highness."
"I said that on purpose. Frankly speaking, the Jin family is just the minions of the imperial concubine and the fifth prince. The ones who can really make the decision are the fifth prince and the imperial concubine. If you hit a snake, it will hit you seven inches. Just punishing the Jin family is too light. It won't hurt. Yes, how can it be considered revenge?"
Shen Lansui nodded, "I learned it, Sanlang is awesome."
Lu Xingyue smiled: "You don't need to learn these things, you just need to be safe."
Shen Lansui paused for a moment, and her heart beat unexpectedly out of rhythm.
"I don't know how your Majesty will deal with her in the end. The imperial concubine has been favored by you for many years, and the eldest princess and the fifth prince are with her. I don't think your majesty will punish her severely."
She changed the topic abruptly, how could Lu Xingyue not hear it?
He saw it in his eyes but did not expose it. He followed her and said: "It is true that there will be no heavy punishment. Even if Jin Jianyun is taken back to prison, he will probably bite him to death and deny it. Even if he does, he will take it all on himself." , They all know in their hearts that as long as they don’t give up the fifth prince, they will have a chance to live. If they do, the fifth prince may not be in trouble, but he will definitely die, so it is better to sell them to save the Jin Mansion. "
As he spoke, he paused and looked at Shen Lansui guiltily, "This matter will probably be settled in the end. I still feel wronged to you."
Shen Lansui was startled. She held Lu Xingyue's hand across a few steps and said with relief: "Although the emperor breaks the law and the common people are guilty, this is just talk. Who dares to punish the emperor? The fifth prince is his son. , I am just an outsider, and I am not dead. His Majesty probably turned a blind eye and passed by. I understand that from the beginning, I did not expect them to get what they deserved."
Even in the last days, not everyone is equal, some people also have privileges, let alone in this era where imperial power is supreme.
Lu Xingyue frowned: "But you can't let go of the grievances you have suffered."
"Of course not." Shen Lansui squeezed his hand and smiled slyly: "Don't forget, I'm a miracle doctor. It's best that they don't ask for help from me. Otherwise, I will have to skin them. "
Lu Xingyue paused, then smiled, "I underestimated Madam."
Shen Lansui whispered: "Besides, the fifth prince can't be beaten, isn't there Jin Jianyun? When you get him back, remember to hit him twice for me."
"Definitely." Lu Xingyue agreed.
The carriage stopped in front of the mansion, and Lu Xingyue got out of the car first. He turned around and stretched out his arms to wait for Shen Lansui.
Meng Cheng, who was driving the car, looked at this scene and Zhou Quan, who was following behind, and said with emotion: "As long as the young master is here, he will take all my work as a coachman."
Zhou Quan chuckled softly: "It's just love and fun between the two of us. What are you trying to do?"
"Yes." Meng Cheng scratched his head and laughed.
Shen Lansui got out of the carriage carefully, and suddenly a cold feeling came to the back of her eyes. She blinked in surprise and felt something flying past her eyes.
She looked up and said in surprise: "Lu Yuanzhi, it's snowing!"
Lu Xingyue raised his head and saw fine snow like foam, flying in the air and melting as soon as it fell. If he didn't pay attention, he thought it was raining.
But even such a small amount of snow is enough to make Shen Lansui excited.
The weather in the apocalypse is extreme, and it rarely snows. Even if it does, it is gray and ugly. The pollution will increase at that time, so the base will be sealed and basically no one is allowed to enter or exit.
She excitedly picked it up with her hands, but Lu Xingyue grabbed her wrist.
"Watch the road, go back to the courtyard and play again."
After saying that, he took Shen Lansui's hand and led her towards the house.
The door of the mansion opened wide, and Lu Mingchao walked out. The two parties were caught off guard and met each other on the steps.
