The ministers knew that what the emperor decided would not be changed.
Yuan Boyang did not give any more advice, but shook his head slightly towards Gu Jingning, indicating that it would not work.
Gu Jingning casually glanced in the direction of Lu Xinghe, his eyes filled with evil spirits.
As a result, he lost a lot of power in the court, and he would have to get this situation back sooner or later.
Just after coming to court, Yuan Boyang found Lu Xinghe.
"Come with me."
"yes."
After all, he is his teacher who has taught him for several years. Of course, Lu Xinghe cannot disobey in public, otherwise he will be labeled as deviant and disrespectful by the officials if he turns around.
Although he is not afraid of people's words, he is about to get married now, so he should not be careless in anything, otherwise he may spread the war in the officialdom to the little girl at home.
Thinking of Chu Yue who was still waiting for him at home, Lu Xinghe felt soft in his heart.
He shook his head helplessly.
He didn't know what kind of medicine the little girl had given him, but she hadn't seen her for more than an hour, and she made him so worried.
With thoughts of Chu Yue, Lu Xinghe followed Yuan Boyang into Yuan Mansion.
Xu Shi knew that Lu Xinghe would come, and as soon as the two of them stepped into Yuan Mansion, Yuan Xueer came over dressed up.
The hair on his head was obviously burnt clean before, but now it is still long and waist-length. Upon closer inspection, the corners of his forehead are slightly raised, indicating that he is wearing a wig.
As for the eyebrows on the face, after two months, they have grown out, but they are not as thick as before, but because of the heavy makeup, it is not obvious.
"Dad, you're back." He turned to look at Lu Xinghe behind him, with a surprised look on his face, "Ah! Brother Xinghe is here too! We haven't seen you for a long time, how are you?"
Lu Xinghe nodded slightly, with a distant look on his polite expression.
"Everything is fine. Thank you very much, Miss Yuan, for remembering me."
Yuan Xueer did not show any dissatisfaction because of his attitude. She stepped forward affectionately and wanted to hug Lu Xinghe's arm.
"I heard that Princess Heyue was injured while trying to save brother Xinghe in Jiangnan. Can she recover now?"
Lu Xinghe turned slightly to avoid Yuan Xueer's touch, because he didn't know what Yuan Xueer was thinking and didn't want to mention Chu Yue too much in front of her.
"Miss Yuan, please respect yourself."
Yuan Xueer said coquettishly with a hurt face, "Brother Xinghe~"
There was a trace of frustration in her heart. Lu Xinghe was like this three years ago, with an attitude of rejecting her thousands of miles away.
This is still the case today.
She was just about to hold her sincerity in front of him.
There was no expression on Lu Xinghe's face.
"Miss Yuan, you should call me by my first name. My father and four brothers only have one cousin. Now I feel uncomfortable hearing Miss Yuan call me that."
Yuan Xueer immediately smiled and said, "Then I'll call you Xinghe."
Lu Xinghe frowned and wanted to say something, but he heard Yuan Boyang on the side say impatiently, "Xue'er, go back to your courtyard, don't think that you can just run away after shutting up and thinking about your past, your father is still here. Here it is!”
His voice was majestic, and Yuan Xueer had to do what he wanted no matter how reluctant she was.
Otherwise, if her father is not happy and locks her up for another month, then she and Lu Xinghe will really have no hope at all.
Stomping her feet, Yuan Xueer left in a depressed tone.
Lu Xinghe followed Yuan Boyang into the study. Yuan Boyang sat behind the desk and pointed at the chair by the window.
"sit down."
Lu Xinghe sat down and looked at Yuan Boyang.
"I wonder why the teacher summoned me to Yuan Mansion alone?"
Yuan Boyang took a sip of the tea that the maid had just brought and raised his eyes to glance at Lu Xinghe.
"If I'm not mistaken, are you going against Prince Jing?"
Lu Xinghe had guessed that Yuan Boyang was from Prince Jing before, but now that he asked such a question, his deepest thoughts were suddenly confirmed.
Yuan Boyang was dissatisfied with the implementation of the New Deal before, so he resigned and went to Nanping Town to be a master for half a year.
It is not known whether he was related to the conspiracy at that time.
"Prince Jing is a noble man, how dare students go against him?" Lu Xinghe replied quietly.
"Really?"
Yuan Boyang asked with some uncertainty.
Lu Xinghe nodded, no emotion visible in his eyes.
"Indeed not." As if thinking of something, he looked up at Yuan Boyang, "This time we went to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief, it was a coincidence that we were able to uncover the evidence of the crimes of the officials behind them. Could it be that they are Prince Jing's people?"
Yuan Boyang choked when he asked him this question.
He sneered and said, "Your Majesty does not allow the ministers of the DPRK to form cliques. It's not like you don't know. How can they be members of His Highness Prince Jing?"
Lu Xinghe hummed quietly.
"That's good. I thought I offended Prince Jing because of this."
After a moment of silence, Yuan Boyang spoke again.
"You are developing well in the court now. If you succeed in serving the dragon in the future, you will be granted the title of marquis and prime minister. Will you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Xinghe took over his words.
"Didn't the teacher say that your majesty doesn't like the ministers of the court to form cliques? Is it the king's land in the whole world, and the king's ministers on the shore of the land. There is only one monarch in Nanyuan, and that is your majesty. Students believe in their own abilities. I don’t care if I have the merit of following the dragon.”
Besides, His Majesty is still in his prime. As long as he wants to, he can still sit on this throne for at least ten or twenty years. Ten or twenty years is a long time. No one knows what will happen during this period. The teacher has been studying in the court for many years. But the most important point was ignored.
The only person who truly determines the survival of this world is the emperor.
At any time, loyalty to the emperor is the most correct choice.
Looking at Lu Xinghe's magnanimous eyes, Yuan Boyang had a sneer on his face.
"Do you really think that His Majesty values you now just because of your talent?"
He snorted coldly and stood with his hands behind his back.
"I have been an official for more than twenty years. What kind of outstanding people have I not seen? Many people are weak in the court, and few of them have a good end. Are you sure you won't consider it anymore? Even if it's not for yourself, you Don’t your family members care about you anymore?”
Hearing this, Lu Xinghe clenched his fists under his wide sleeves.
If there is any conspiracy against him, he doesn't care. Soldiers will come to block the situation, but the family will be his enemy.
Now that Yuan Boyang has raised it openly, the threat is self-evident.
Lu Xinghe stood up with a calm expression and bowed respectfully towards Yuan Boyang.
"The teacher has carefully taught and cultivated her for three years. The student is very grateful. However, this matter is of great importance and I have to consider it carefully. Now that the wedding is approaching, there are still things at home waiting for me to go back to deal with, so I will leave first."
After saying that, he turned around and left the study.
Yuan Boyang looked at Lu Xinghe's retreating back, with a dark look in his eyes. He slapped his palm heavily on the desk, with anger in his tone.
"It's so stubborn!"
