The most important thing in Queen Lu's heart is her son, as long as her prince can be well.
She didn't care what happened to other people.
"What Song Tangning wants is justice for the Lu family, and what she hates is Lu Zhinian. I have never treated her badly in the past. Since she was able to refuse to enter the palace that day, she was smart. Xiao Yan, the eunuch, will not let her have sex with me. Mother and son are fighting to death."
"After you give her this Fengchai, tell her that as long as she is willing to let this matter go and not involve the fourth prince, I will make the decision to cancel the Lu family's engagement for her, and will let Lu Zhinian apologize to her personally. I will never Damage her reputation."
"Besides, I will definitely make them repay double the things the Lu family took away, so that she will not suffer any loss. This nine-tailed phoenix hairpin is my token to her, and I will never break my promise."
Empress Lu knew that giving this golden hairpin away would be equivalent to giving someone a handle, but she wanted to protect the fourth prince and couldn't care about anything else at the moment.
She looked at Jin Zhi with calm eyes: "After all, Lu Chongyuan is not my biological father, and eldest brother and the others may not sacrifice the interests of the Lu family for the sake of Zheng Zhi. Jin Zhi, I only believe in you."
"You are going to make this trip for me. No matter what, you must not let Song Tangning make things worse."
Jin Zhi thought about it in his heart, holding the golden hairpin and nodding heavily: "Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely comfort Little Madam Song."
…
When it got dark, the Lu brothers returned to their home angrily after running around all day in vain.
The news that the palace suddenly ordered a cane to be punished could not be hidden from anyone at all. In addition, some people deliberately exaggerated it. Now everyone in the street knew that Lu Jiasanlang was punished by His Majesty.
Lu Zhinian was a delicate man and had been beaten with twenty sticks. It was said that his back was dripping with blood. The Lu family could not go to the imperial prison to visit. When the news came out, the already anxious Lu family became even more anxious. Mrs. Lu, who loved her grandson very much, was so anxious that she burst into tears.
"How could Sanlang suddenly be punished with a stick? How could he bear it?" Mrs. Lu cried.
"You have to bear it even if you can't bear it. Who made him act confused!" Lu Chongyuan cursed in a low voice.
Mrs. Lu did not dare to refute, so she could only hide her face and cry.
The crying made Lu Chongyuan frown in annoyance, and he was too lazy to pay attention to Mrs. Lu. He only asked Lu Zhao and the others, "What's the news? Why is Your Majesty angry?"
Lu Zhao shook his head: "No news came out from the palace. The only word from the prison is that His Majesty sent someone to send a message to them to beat him hard."
The news from the palace could not be spread, and no one knew what Lu Zhinian had done to make Emperor An angry again, so that he would issue an edict and punish him one day later.
Lu Chongyuan was so angry that he slammed the table hard.
"Master Lang, someone is coming from the palace."
When someone came in to announce something, Lu Zhao quickly raised his head: "Who is here?"
"It's Miss Jinzhi from the Queen's Palace."
Lu Zhao was immediately overjoyed: "Invite people in quickly!"
The Lu family was in a state of distress. Everyone was happy when they heard that the palace attendants from Fengxi Palace were coming, thinking that the Queen was sending some good news. However, when they saw Jin Zhi coming in with a heavy eye, Lu Zhao and the others were filled with joy. Ding.
"Something happened in the palace."
Jin Zhi's words made Lu Chongyuan stand up suddenly.
"Ms. Song is suing Master Lang and the Lu family."
Following Empress Lu's instructions, Jin Zhi took out the roll of paper from her arms and handed it to Lu Chongyuan, and saw the visible stiffness on the faces of the Lu family.
Lu Chongyuan held the paper in his hand with trembling hands, and heard Jin Zhi say: "The Queen didn't know this, and she wholeheartedly interceded for Mr. Sanlang. Unexpectedly, she was angrily scolded by Your Majesty in public, and even smashed her forehead with this paper and something."
"His Majesty was extremely angry and scolded the empress for helping the Lu family to humiliate the Rong family's orphan. He also said that this paper was not only in the palace, but also in the Jingzhao Mansion. I don't know if it is in Yushitai's hands."
"Master Sir, Mrs. Song is really going all out to make the matter bigger. If the matter cannot be solved today, I am afraid that the Fourth Highness, you, and my uncle will all become the laughingstock of the court tomorrow morning."
Lu Chongyuan's eyes darkened when he heard Jin Zhi's words, and he fell straight back.
"Father!"
Lu Zhao was frightened and panicked.
Lu Qin and others also looked pale and panicked as they helped Lu Chongyuan sit on the chair. Anyone in the Lu family can fall, but Lu Chongyuan cannot. He is the pillar and backbone of the Lu family. If he falls, the Lu family will also fall. It's over.
Mrs. Lu didn't care to cry anymore, she was anxious to help Lu Chongyuan, and she was a little angry: "Then Song Tangning agreed to a three-day period, and today is the second day, how could she go back on her word?!"
Jin Zhi whispered: "Mrs. Song said that three days ago, but Master Lang angered the people in Jiuyun Lane yesterday..."
"shut up!"
Lu Qin saw that Lu Chongyuan's face turned even more ugly and his breathing became rapid. He turned his head and cursed at Jin Zhi: "How can you talk like a dog slave?!"
He looked ferocious: "My father did this for the sake of the queen and the fourth prince. If he hadn't taken care of them, how could he have taken the risk to touch Xiao Yan? Now that something has happened, your master blames us for angering the Song family." Female, she is simply..."
"Second brother!!"
Lu Zhao hurriedly stopped Lu Qin before he could say anything evil, but the look on his face was not much better.
"Aunt Jinzhi, the Lu family and the Empress are one and the same. We have never treated them poorly, and we have always been dedicated to the affairs of the fourth prince. Your master's words are too chilling." Lu Zhaohan said.
The rest of the Lu family were also very angry: "That is, although she is the queen, don't forget that she is also a Lu family, and the blood of the Lu family flows in her body!"
"Yes, her status today is partly due to our Lu family. If something happens to the Lu family, how can she be better off?"
"Our Lu family has never betrayed the queen and the fourth prince. Now something like this happened, and the queen is separated from the Lu family. Is she going to fall out with the Lu family?!"
Everyone in the Lu family was extremely angry and felt that the Queen's behavior was too cold.
In the past, the Lu family always looked after the Queen and her son, and how much manpower and material resources they put in to help the fourth prince. They always regarded Queen Lu as one of their own, and used all the family strength to help the fourth prince seize power. But now that they are in trouble, the Queen actually said Such words.
This is simply chilling.
Jin Zhi's face turned pale when everyone looked at her, and she was also at a loss because of everyone's words. The Queen couldn't live without the Lu family, and she couldn't really offend the Lu family.
Jin Zhi hurriedly lowered his head and said anxiously: "This slave made a mistake, please forgive me. The Queen has always been devoted to the Lu family and has no intention of shirk..."
"What a joke, if she wasn't trying to push the envelope, what did you just say?!" Lu Qin sneered.
Lu Zhao did not comment on Jin Zhi's words. He looked deeply at Jin Zhi and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the Queen, she is just a little girl. The Lu family will not be a joke, and neither will the Fourth Highness. The Lu family will handle Song Tangning's matter."
Jin Zhi pursed his lips and wanted to ask the Lu family what they planned to do, but the looks of everyone in the Lu family were so numb that they dared not say anything.
