Outside the palace gate, Lu Yan got down from the carriage in a dusty manner, holding a spear tightly in his hand, with a stern look in his eyes.
Zhou Ruiyuan and Du Wanchun came to the door, strode forward to greet them, and said with a smile: "Uncle, are you back?"
Lu Yan put down the spear in his hand and handed it to the attendant behind him. He looked up and looked around and said with emotion: "In the blink of an eye, I have been away from here for ten years."
Zhou Ruiyuan followed his gaze and said, "This place is still the same as before."
Lu Yan withdrew his gaze, looked straight at the palace gate, and asked, "Where is the emperor? I heard that he is ill."
Zhou Ruiyuan looked at the spear held by the attendant behind him and replied slowly: "That's right, now he is lying on the bed with only one breath left."
Du Wanchun took his words and continued: "Because I wasted my body earlier, and now I am suffering from pain. I can't walk on the ground, and I can't even speak."
Lu Yan's face clearly showed joy, "That's a good thing."
He glanced at the attendant behind him and asked him to take the spear down. He lowered his voice and said in a voice that only a few of them could hear: "He has done so many evil things, and it will be easier for him to die. This way That’s fine, let him have a taste of what life is worse than death.”
Zhou Ruiyuan and Du Wanchun looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief. ?.?????.???
Lu Yan had not returned to the capital for almost ten years. This time he rushed directly to the palace gate with a spear in hand, intent on killing the emperor with his own hands in order to avenge his father and brother.
Fortunately, he calmed down after listening to Du Wanchun's words, otherwise Zhou Ruiyuan wouldn't know how to end it now.
"Uncle, you've had a hard journey, why not take a good rest first." Zhou Ruiyuan smiled at him.
Lu Yan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "That's all, I'd better go see the emperor first."
Zhou Ruiyuan did not stop him and led the way: "Okay, uncle, come with me."
Du Wanchun stepped aside and followed them towards the palace.
There were guards and eunuchs walking all the way in the palace. They seemed to have their heads lowered, but in fact they all secretly cast their eyes on Lu Yan.
Everyone knew that Lu Yan had a grudge against the emperor. If he really came in so openly and killed the emperor, it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the capital in the future.
Du Wanchun glanced at the palace maids around him, and then whispered a few instructions to the palace maid Dong'er beside him.
Then there were many fewer maids and eunuchs along the way.
When Lu Yan came to the emperor's palace, he stopped and looked up at the magnificent palace in front of him. His eyes were cold, as if he was thinking of the past.
After hesitating for a moment, he frowned slightly and walked towards the palace.
The emperor had just been upset because of Concubine Li's departure from the palace, and now he was drowsy with his eyes closed. When he heard the noise, he saw the dusty Lu Yan.
His pupils widened instantly, showing a look of surprise.
I shouted loudly in my heart: "Are you still alive? You are actually still alive!"
I wanted to say these words, but I could only make a whimpering sound.
Seeing him like this, Lu Yan immediately relaxed his frown and smiled, "It's exactly what Wanchun said, you can't speak or move."
The emperor looked at him fiercely, unable to move his hands or feet, and could only try to scare him with his eyes.
Unfortunately, these days when he was seriously ill, he aged very quickly, his hair was messy and white, his body was skinny, and the dignity he had in the past had long since disappeared.
Lu Yan saw his desolation completely and burst out laughing, "Your Majesty, I'm here to see you, why are you lying down all the time?"
The emperor was ridiculed by him and lost all face. He gritted his teeth and made a gurgling sound in his mouth.
Zhou Ruiyuan and Du Wanchun had already retired the people in the palace, and now the four of them were left.
Lu Yan slowly approached the emperor, smiling with his eyes red. He looked at the emperor coldly, as if he wanted to eat him alive, "Seeing you like this makes me feel really happy, but what can I do? My father and brother are back."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, my father treats you like his own son, and my brother treats you like his own brother. Why do you treat them like this?"
The emperor gradually calmed down, and a trace of loneliness appeared on his face.
He had been seriously ill for a long time, and this was the first time he had such an expression.
Mr. Lu was like his mentor back then, and the eldest son of the Lu family had been helping him in everything since he was young.
Even when the queen entered the palace, it was thanks to the eldest son of the Lu family who put in good words for her.
If it weren't for them, he wouldn't be in a wheelchair.
Unexpectedly, he would repay kindness with hatred and drive them all to death. He was really cruel.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Ruiyuan still needed this old immortal to stabilize his position in the court, Lu Yan would have pulled out his sword and chopped off his head to comfort his father and brother.
Lu Yan clenched his hands into fists and suppressed the hatred in his heart. He turned to Zhou Ruiyuan and asked, "Your Highness, did the doctor say how long he can live?"
Zhou Ruiyuan thought for a while and replied: "Not for half a month."
Lu Yan laughed, "Okay, okay, but you must call me. I want to watch him die in person."
