Chapter 42
As soon as Lu Songli woke up the next day, her parents invited her to the main courtyard for breakfast. After breakfast, she was invited to the study by her father. Then Lu Songli saw her father mysteriously take something out of his arms.
"Dad, how did you get this?" Lu Songli carefully took the death-free gold medal from his father's hand and looked up and down with bright eyes.
A gold medal to avoid death! Something I've only seen in TV series. She didn't expect Emperor Kang Cheng to be so generous and willing to give one to her father! Like the Qin family, they have protected the land of Dali for generations and shed their blood for it, but they may not be able to get a gold medal for immunity from death.
Hide it, you must hide it!
Lu Songli looked her father up and down. Her father was okay. There wouldn't be any kind of deal between the emperor and her father, right?
"Daughter, what's wrong with you? Don't look at dad like this, dad feels bad." Lu Desheng felt that his daughter's eyes were strange.
Lu Songli looked at it twice and then looked away. Forget it, the emperor probably doesn't like her father's words. It was purely because her father was too good at holding thighs. It seemed that the emperor liked her father's tricks very much.
Lu Desheng cleared his throat and talked to Lu Songli about everything that happened in Yugan Palace last night, in detail.
Originally, Lu Desheng had a plan to express his loyalty to the emperor in the near future, which they had discussed before. When Lu Desheng told his daughter about this, it was considered as giving feedback.
Lu Songli had expected that Emperor Kang Cheng's opinion of her father would improve a lot after her father expressed his loyalty, but Lu Songli never expected that her experience in the Queen Mother's Palace would be different from her father's expression. Loyalty and loyalty collided, and the combination of the two was able to achieve such an achievement - allowing Emperor Kang Cheng to give him a gold medal for immunity from death.
Then her eyes returned to the death-free gold medal in her hand. Now Lu Songli knew why the Queen Mother rushed to Yuqian Palace in such a hurry last night, as if her butt was on fire. It turned out that it wasn't her butt that was burned, but that her father would steal the tower.
Lu Songli calculated the time, and the enemy slipped away just as he was about to reach the battlefield. Her father's departure and the arrival of the Queen Mother should be a matter of front and back.
"Dad, it's a good thing you ran fast." Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether this gold medal for immunity from death would be surnamed Lu or not.
"That's right." Lu Desheng said proudly. He wouldn't hurry up after getting this big treasure.
She thought about it, something was wrong. Her father left earlier than her last night, so he should have arrived home before her.
In response to her doubts, Lu Desheng said, "I took another path." He didn't take a shortcut and took a detour because he was afraid someone would chase him out.
Lu Songli gave him a thumbs up, "You are so treacherous."
Lu Desheng glared at her, "How can you describe your father as treacherous?"
"Dad, I was complimenting you."
"Dad, this is a life-saving thing, you have to keep it." Lu Songli handed the death-free gold medal back to her father after reading it, but she didn't know if this thing was for a special chapter. If not, it would be of great use.
Lu Desheng took it carefully and told her, "As long as you, me, and your mother know about this, don't let it slip."
"That can't be done." Lu Songli was a little surprised when she heard her father's warning, "Won't the eldest brother and the younger brother tell you too?"
Lu Desheng said hurriedly, "Don't tell them yet." It's not that he doesn't trust him. How should I put it? The eldest son already has a wife, so he knows very well how powerful the pillow fanaticism is. "Your eldest brother doesn't have any ideas. As for your brother, I'm afraid of him." Talking in sleep brought this matter out."
A pot came from the sky, Brother Lu Mingzhi: When did he get the habit of talking in his sleep?
Lu Songli: As expected of her father, he has such double standards. I dote on my wife and think my sister-in-law's pillow style is too strong.
Lu Desheng didn't feel there was anything wrong with his decision at all. There have been so many things going on at home recently, both sons are not at home. Although the reasons for not being at home were all excusable, he just felt uncomfortable.
The little girl is different, she can help him. Besides, my daughter must take half of the credit for getting this death-free gold medal from the emperor.
"My mother has no objection?"
"She has no objection." The existence of the death-free gold medal is a trump card, but he just doesn't tell them. If something really happened to the two brothers, they would still have to use it.
Neither of them mentioned her sister Lu Songyun. In Lu Desheng's mind, a married daughter throws away water.
For Lu Songli, her father earned this death-free gold medal through his own ability, so he could do whatever he wanted.
"Dad, I can't keep this secret." After the initial excitement, rationality returned, and Lu Songli thought of the scene where the Queen Mother hurriedly rose to control the palace last night. It is true that not many people know that her father has a gold medal for immunity from death, but if the Queen Mother knows, how can she let the Lu family silently hold such a big killer weapon?
It has been true since ancient times that it is difficult to grab a treasure, but even harder to keep it.
Lu Desheng also thought of this when he heard his daughter's explanation. It was true.
"Be prepared for it."
"Daughter, the emperor also gave me a magical elixir." Lu Desheng took out a red meatball the size of his little finger, "When you get close to this meatball, you can smell it. It has a faint, cold fishy aroma, a very special smell."
Lu Songli was startled, "Dad, you can't touch this thing." This thing is full of poison, mercury poisoning, heavy metal poisoning and mineral poisoning...
"Dad, the ingredients used in this elixir are not meant to prolong life."
Thinking about how this thing is made, it contains cinnabar, gold, mercury and various minerals. I heard that it also contains a girl's menstrual blood. I really dare to put anything in it. Just thinking about it makes my scalp numb. .
Seeing that his daughter was obviously frightened, Lu Desheng quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll keep it and won't touch it."
Lu Songli was still worried after receiving her father's assurance, so she snatched the elixir directly, "I've helped you with this elixir. If the emperor asks, just say you took it."
"Okay, okay." He was also very disgusted when he heard his daughter talking about some of the ingredients for making alchemy.
Seeing this elixir, Lu Songli's heart skipped a beat, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why can't you think of taking this chronic poison!
She originally thought that Emperor Kang Cheng would be a golden thigh. After her father succeeded in grabbing him, the Lu family would have a long period of peace. At least until the death of Emperor Kang Cheng, the Lu family didn't have to worry.
Emperor Kang Cheng is eighty-eight years old this year, and Lu Songli is not greedy. As long as he works hard and lives to sixty. Then their family would have a peaceful life for twelve years, during which the Qin family would be exiled and then counterattack Chang'an. If the Qin family is still as good as the original book says, the Lu family will secretly find an opportunity to make friends with the Qin family and board the Qin family's ship. The Lu family does not seek to remain standing like the Xie family in the original novel. I just hope that when the dynasty changes, the Lu family can transition safely.
However, it is obvious that the current Emperor Kang Cheng has worked too hard. Lu Songli dared to say that Emperor Kang Cheng might not live to be sixty. Now I don’t know if Emperor Kang Cheng takes pills very frequently. If so, I’m afraid it won’t even be a fraction of twelve years.
What should we do now? Obviously, Emperor Kang Cheng's golden thigh is no longer safe, and he doesn't know when it will fail. Should they prepare for a retreat? Let her guess which prince is suitable for the Lu family to secretly place bets on. It's a headache, it's troublesome, no, no, no, no, her father just showed his loyalty and turned around to invest in other princes. Isn't it because he felt that the head on his neck was too comfortable?
Lu Songli wanted to cry but had no tears. Damn it, she should have thought of it earlier, right? Emperor Kangcheng was obsessed with Buddhism and Taoism, and he was known as Taiqingzhenren. How could he not touch the immortality and Taoism elixirs? Think about it again, throughout the past five thousand years, how many wise and mighty emperors have fallen to the elixir refined by this Taoist priest in their later years! The well-known emperors include Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Yongzheng and other emperors with first-class civil and military skills. Compared with the above wise emperors, it is not surprising to her that Emperor Kangcheng was superstitious.
The key is, what should their family do next? What kind of retreat should we prepare? It is best to plan with two hands, grasp with both hands, and be strong with both hands.
