Zhou Quan whispered: "They were all sent back. His Majesty summoned a few of us, asked about the situation, and read the confessions and evidence. Without any hesitation, he directly ordered the people to be dragged out and beheaded."
Lu Xingyue nodded unexpectedly, "The evidence is irrefutable, there is nothing to hesitate about. With natural disasters currently in sight, people are panicking, and some people are restless. Your Majesty's move is also a warning to the monkeys."
After that, he asked some more about the movements in the court. This was also the reason why he asked Zhou Quan to come back first. Yang Du couldn't be left unattended.
Zhou Quan answered them one by one.
It is already known to everyone that the prince and the fifth prince are fighting openly and secretly. There is nothing to say. As long as it does not affect him, Lu Xingyue will not interfere, and he does not like either of these things.
The remaining trivial matters in the palace are nothing more than which empress was favored again, and which empress made a mistake and fell out of favor. These are important or not. Lu Xingyue just needs to be aware of them.
The master and servant chatted like this for half an hour.
Finally, Lu Xingyue rubbed the side of the porcelain cup with his fingertips and asked in a low voice, "How is the situation in the Duke's Mansion?"
Zhou Quan paused for a moment, looked at Lu Xingyue's face carefully and said, "The Duke has been ill during this period. He asked the imperial doctor to see him. It's nothing serious. He's a little angry. He's almost healed now. The eldest son and the second son have been Young Master…”
Lu Xingyue raised his eyes and looked at him.
Zhou Quan hesitated and said: "The two of them rarely go back to their homes now. They usually stay in the yard where they do errands. Even if they come back, they only move around in the front yard to see that everything is fine."
Everything looks good, but in reality it's not good at all.
The three words "eldest lady" have become taboo, no one is willing to say them easily, and everyone has tacitly forgotten her existence.
There was no emotion or anger on Lu Xingyue's face, and Zhou Quan didn't dare to say any more, so he fell silent.
After a while, Lu Xingyue took a sip of tea, stood up and said, "As long as she doesn't come out, there is no need to report to me the situation in the Duke's Mansion."
"yes."
This means that he still has a grudge against the eldest lady.
Zhou Quan thought about it and felt relieved. Who could not hate what the eldest lady did?
She brought it upon herself.
"Prepare some water. I want to take a bath and enter the palace later."
Lu Xingyue gave instructions and walked out.
Zhou Quan was stunned, "What about Madam?"
"There is no need to wake her up. She is too tired. Let her have a good rest. Besides, she is the wife of a minister. She does not need to enter the palace unless summoned by the Queen."
Zhou Quan thought the same thing, "I'll make arrangements now."
Shen Lansui was still somewhat conscious when he was carried out of the car, but he was in a daze. His eyelids were as heavy as three pounds of iron, and he couldn't open them. He fell asleep the moment he was put on the bed.
When we were in Wanguan City, even if we were relaxed, we were still nervous, for fear of some accident, heavy rain, or earthquake. What should we do?
I don't sleep well every day.
After finally coming back from Wanguan City, she was struck down by physical and mental exhaustion.
She slept until dark before waking up.
When she woke up, the room was completely dark. She lay there to relax for a while, feeling a little unsure of what day it was.
After a while she shouted, and Xia Xia and Chun Guan Chun, who were waiting outside, came in immediately, lighting lamps and pouring water.
Shen Lansui took a sip to moisten her throat and sat holding the cup, her expression still a little tired. She looked around and asked, "Where is the Marquis?"
During the Spring Festival, the last candlestick is lit, and the room is suddenly as bright as day.
She said: "The Marquis has entered the palace. Liu Yan said that the Marquis asked us not to wake the lady. If the lady wakes up, we can eat first without waiting for him."
"Have you entered the palace?" Shen Lansui's reaction was a little slow, and after a while he nodded and said: "You should enter the palace and report to His Majesty."
"How long have you been there?"
Shang Xia thought for a while and said, "It's almost two hours, it's time to come back."
Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.
Zhou Quan and Mulang's voices came from the corridor outside.
Shen Lansui's eyes lit up and his body unconsciously turned towards the door.
Mulan: "Master, be careful of the steps."
Zhou Quan: "I don't know if Madam has eaten yet. I want you to ask the kitchen to prepare the dishes first?"
"Um."
Lu Xingyue responded solemnly.
Before Summer Appreciation and Spring Viewing started, I felt a black shadow suddenly jump out from the corner of my eye.
Watching spring and enjoying summer: "???"
Shen Lansui grabbed the big cloak on one side and wrapped it up. When Lu Xingyue came closer, he opened the door and looked at him with a smile, "Welcome home!"
Lu Xingyue was startled, then he smiled and opened his arms to hug the person.
Shen Lansui: "Huh?"
Lu Xingyue pinched her waist, half hugged her, and half lifted her up. Her feet were in the air, she moved uncomfortably, and her shoes fell to the ground.
Guanchun quickly picked it up and put it next to the bed. He exchanged a knowing look with Shangxia, and the two of them stepped back with a smile.
When Shen Lansui sat down on the bed, Shen Lansui still didn't come back to her senses. Why was she back again?
She wanted to stand up, but Lu Xingyue put his hands on both sides of her body, locking her in place.
He leaned over to look at her and asked warmly: "You don't have any clothes on, are you afraid of catching a cold?"
"Don't I want to greet you as soon as possible and let you feel the warmth of home?"
Shen Lansui smiled and hugged his neck.
Lu Xingyue was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.
He could feel that since that New Year's Eve night, Shen Lansui became more and more natural and bold when facing him.
Now, these intimate gestures were so easy that he couldn't resist.
He looked at Shen Lansui intently for a while, then lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
The two of them looked at each other for a while, and Shen Lansui pinched the back of his neck. Lu Xingyue stopped and breathed slightly, "What's wrong?"
"I haven't asked you yet, what did you do when you entered the palace? What did Your Majesty say?"
Lu Xingyue turned around and sat down next to her, held her hand and asked, "Have you eaten?"
Shen Lansui shook his head.
"Then let's finish eating." Lu Xingyue fetched a clean and soft coat for her, Shen Lansui put it on lazily, casually pulled out a ribbon to tie up her hair, and placed it casually behind her back.
The ribbon was wrapped around the ink-like hair, shining under the light.
Lu Xingyue couldn't help but take another look, and raised his hand to gently stroke the hanging part of the ribbon.
Shen Lansui looked back at him doubtfully, and Lu Xingyue said softly, "Do you know when I first fell in love with you?"
She didn't expect him to say this suddenly. Shen Lansui was a little surprised, but also really curious, so she followed him and asked: "When?"
Lu Xingyue smiled, his eyes moving, looking gentle and charming, "At that time, you just got married, and your hairband was left in the bathroom. I saw it when I went in, and I felt something different in my heart at that time."
"Hairband?" Shen Lansui recalled it, but she couldn't remember when it happened because she often left her hairband in the bathroom eight times if not ten times.
Didn't you expect that Lu Xingyue would have a crush on her so early?
Or is it because of a hair tie?
She looked at Lu Xingyue with a subtle expression, "Lu Yuanzhi, I don't know whether to say you are too innocent or too impure." (End of Chapter)
