Such a big thing happened in the court, but Lu Chen remained as usual. After the morning court, he would either go to the Zichen Palace to teach the empress mathematics, or he would familiarize himself with his new job in the public room, and then go home at midnight, or work overtime to work or teach the empress, and then end A busy day in life.
Eat when you should, drink when you should, but don’t take anything to heart.
It was as if he was not the one who suffered such serious impeachment. He had no intention of proving his innocence and just allowed this undercurrent to flow.
However, when he was living a fulfilling and leisurely life, whether it was the Empress, Gu Simiao, Fang Ping, Liu Dongyang, Xiao Yun, Xiao Yi, etc., it can be said that apart from temporarily being with Cangming Except for Fu Hua, who returned to the Holy Realm with the Holy King, almost everyone who had a good relationship with Lu Chen was paying close attention to the developments of this matter.
The empress even thought about fabricating the facts and letting Lu Chen say that he was ordered by her to find a way to rebel against Chai Hongyu, but she gave up this plan when she thought of Lu Chen's down-to-earth and upright character.
During this period, as long as Lu Chen did not work overtime at Zichen Hall after his shift and went home normally, there would be no shortage of guests at home.
Thanks to this, Luo Xiaoyu, the little housekeeper, suddenly had a much wider network of contacts. After all, when these big guys were waiting for Lu Chen, they would chat with her for a while when they were bored.
After all, Luo Xiaoyu is also Lu Chen's childhood sweetheart, and he is almost the person who knows Lu Chen best. Fang Ping and the others, especially Gu Simiao, are quite interested in Lu Chen's past and know a lot about Lu Chen's past. thing.
Even if she knew that Lu Chen would come back very late, she would still stay in Lu Mansion and chat with Luo Xiaoyu.
After she tasted Luo Xiaoyu's cooking once and learned that it was actually a technique taught to her by Lu Chen himself, she came more frequently.
But just because something doesn't happen for a while, doesn't mean it will never happen.
"Miao'er."
In the Gu Mansion, when the five members of the Gu family's eldest family were eating, Zhao suddenly spoke, breaking the usual calm.
Gu Simiao raised her head, looked at her mother, and said softly.
"What's wrong? Mom, what's the matter?"
Zhao hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Gu Yanming who was silent, then gritted his teeth, and then slowly spoke.
"What is your current relationship with Lu Chen?"
Gu Simiao gently put down the bowl.
"Colleagues with whom I have a relatively good relationship, other than that, there is nothing else."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Really? That's good, that's good..."
He looked extremely lucky.
Gu Simiao frowned and noticed something unusual.
After being severely reprimanded by her father before, her mother, who was prone to criticism, became a lot more honest. She had not mentioned similar topics to her for a long time. Now that she suddenly brought it up, she seemed to want to interfere in her life, and her instinct was immediately I felt something was wrong.
"What's wrong? Mom, why do you say this suddenly?"
Seeing her good daughter asking back, Ms. Zhao hesitated for a moment, but still bit her lower lip and said, "Today, my mother and some of her former best friends went to Baoxiang Temple to offer incense. While eating, I heard a story about Lu Chen bad news.”
Hearing this, a flash of understanding suddenly flashed in Gu Simiao's eyes.
Zhao continued: "I heard... that Lu Chen and the chief general who is the world's number one rebel are a couple, and some righteous people used retroactive spiritual stones to record that they depended on each other for life and death and never left each other when facing powerful enemies. The picture provided is irrefutable evidence that Lu Chen was not a loyal minister, but a rebel who only entered the official position to disrupt the court and overthrow the world for the rebel leader."
"They said that many ministers in the court had requested Lu Chen be executed, but His Majesty was grateful for the loyalty he had pretended to be, and was deceived by his rhetoric. Even in the face of such irrefutable evidence, he refused to execute Lu Chen. Instead, he continued as usual. The trust of the land is more important than him. Based on this, many knowledgeable people in Luo Jing are ready to jointly launch a petition to denounce Lu Ni, get rid of the traitors, and restore peace to the Great Xia court and the world..."
As she spoke, she stared at Gu Simiao seriously.
"Although it sounds incredible, there is no smoke without fire. This matter has caused such a big fuss and so many people say that Lu Chen is a traitor. The irrefutable evidence is true. Miao'er, since you have nothing to do with Lu Chen, you must do it in the future. Stay away from him and never have anything to do with him, lest His Majesty wakes up and implicates our Gu family when he kills Lu Chen..."
Hearing this, Gu Simiao's expression gradually became serious.
Snapped!
As soon as Zhao finished speaking, Gu Yanming slammed the porcelain bowl on the dining table, and the crisp sound suddenly startled Zhao.
"Husband...husband..."
Gu Yanming snorted coldly, ignored her, and turned to look at Gu Simiao.
"Miao'er, don't listen to your mother's nonsense. You know better than us what kind of person Lu Chen is. He can't be a rebel at all. These information and the so-called ironclad evidence must have come from some scornful people. If he was framed and framed, if he was really a rebel, he would not have stood up when His Majesty was controlled by the Demon Queen. After all, the reason why Yu Jiuyuan had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation was because the Queen Mother was in chaos. !”
"Under the rule of the Demon Queen, corruption was rampant in various states and counties, and the people were in dire straits. Only in such a turbulent Great Xia could there be soil for rebels to breed, and only then could rebels like Yu Jiuyuan have the opportunity to grow. How could the rebels hope to be like this? A Holy Lord like Your Majesty is coming to court? So the talk of rebels is pure nonsense."
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao suddenly became angry.
"But they all said so..."
Gu Yanming glanced at her coldly.
"When the Gu family was questioned and imprisoned by the court, they said the same thing. What was the result?"
Faced with her husband's rhetorical question, Zhao's momentum suddenly shrunk by half.
"This... how can this be the same? Miao'er didn't really betray the imperial court..."
"Then how do you know Mr. Lu is not slandered? Is the situation of our Gu family much better than Mr. Lu's back then?"
Zhao was immediately speechless.
"Hmph, long hair makes short sight!"
Gu Simiao: "..."
She glanced at her silver-white waist-length hair speechlessly.
This dad's temperament feels a bit like that piece of wood from Lu Chen...
Could it be that the truly loyal ministers are all heartless and straight-tempered?
The younger brother and sister continued to eat, acting as invisible people as possible and turning a deaf ear to everything around them.
Gu Yanming turned his head again and looked at Gu Simiao.
"Miao'er, my father said that no one has the right to interfere in your life from now on, so you can make your own decision on this matter, but you have to remember one thing."
There was a pause, and his voice became a little heavy.
"Master Lu has been very kind to our Gu family. No matter what, we can't do anything to regret him."
Obviously, he also felt that something seemed unusual about this.
"Um."
Gu Simiao nodded.
"I know, Dad."
Seeing that his daughter's face was not wavering at all, a smile gradually appeared on Gu Yanming's extremely serious face.
………
Facts have proved that what Zhao heard about Lu Chen at Baoxiang Temple was not a rumor.
Early the next morning, when Lu Chen opened the door of his mansion, he saw a crowd of people outside.
Dozens of Imperial College Gongsheng students in Confucian turbans and hundreds of scribes in green shirts were seen surrounding the door. As soon as they saw him coming out, everyone immediately stared.
"The land thief is out!"
Several Gongsheng students shouted loudly, and then violently activated the spiritual power in their bodies. They kept scolding Lu Chen for being a traitor, and they quickly walked towards Lu Chen.
Others immediately followed.
Seeing this scene, Lu Chen couldn't help but squint his eyes.
oh? Is it coming so soon...
Facing the menacing group of passionate teenagers and young men, Lu Chen showed no fear on his face, as if he hadn't seen them, and calmly stepped forward and walked forward.
Seeing that Lu Chen not only did not turn around and run, but instead walked towards this direction unprepared, everyone was stunned. Apparently they did not expect Lu Chen to be so brave.
However, they were just stunned for a moment, and the next second, they sneered, and then quickened their pace, with a trace of impatient look on their faces.
However, their sneers only lasted less than a second, and their faces instantly froze with a sudden burst of cold air.
Click…
Following a crisp sound, these uninvited guests suddenly found that they could not move their feet. At the same time, an extremely cold breath spread rapidly from their feet. In an instant, their feet completely lost feeling.
"ah!!"
A Gongsheng screamed violently, but he saw that his feet had formed a layer of frost at some point, and his entire body was firmly fixed to the ground, unable to move at all.
Not just him, when other people looked down at their legs, they were immediately horrified to find that their feet were also frozen.
"This...this is..."
Before they could react, an extremely terrifying aura suddenly appeared out of thin air, like a huge mountain pressing down heavily, instantly overwhelming them to the point where they were almost breathless. They could do nothing but instinctively breathe desperately for survival. No.
He couldn't even utter a single word of what he had said angrily to Lu Chen before.
snap…
Soon, someone fell heavily to the ground, panting violently and greedily, constantly exhaling white mist.
"Good day, Huaiyu."
As the Gongsheng students fell to the ground one after another, a clear voice sounded softly.
A moment later, Gu Simiao's graceful figure slowly appeared in front of Lu Chen, looking at him with a smile on her face.
"I happened to be passing by, let's go to court together."
Hearing this, Lu Chen was speechless.
The Gu Mansion was between his home and Zhuque Street. Gu Simiao's route to go to court was to the west. Only when he went to go to court would he pass by the Gu Mansion. Gu Simiao would never pass by the Lu Mansion when going to court.
He didn't believe this even a hair on his legs.
But the girl was so kind, what else could he say?
Shaking his head, Lu Chen walked past the fallen Gongsheng scribes and walked to Gu Simiao.
"Miss Gu, did you know that they will come to Lu Mansion to embarrass me today?"
"Um."
Gu Simiao didn't deny it, and she didn't bother to pretend.
"I heard some bad rumors yesterday."
"Yeah…"
Lu Chen sighed softly and did not ask any more questions, but walked forward on his own.
Gu Simiao turned around and followed.
And just when the two of them went to court side by side.
clatter…
Under an inconspicuous roof not far away, with a burst of air shaking, several ghost-like figures slowly appeared. When they saw Gu Simiao filled with extremely huge spiritual power, following Lu Chen step by step, Involuntarily, he put the sword blade in his hand back into its scabbard.
Immediately afterwards, several people looked at each other, and then two of them exerted force on their feet and quickly flew towards the direction of Ziji City, while the others jumped up and came to a group of Gongsheng who were easily subdued by Gu Simiao.
