After Rebirth, I Became the Treacherous Minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 35 The Grand Governor’s Initiative (Part 1)

Lin Wan'er hurriedly knelt down and bowed respectfully.

Lu Luo was so frightened when she heard the voice of His Majesty that she even kowtowed with trepidation.

She never dreamed that they would actually be able to see the emperor!

In the capital, many imperial wives were not qualified to meet the emperor.

Lin Wan'er wore a thin veil. The young emperor only used it to cover her face when going out and didn't think much about anything else.

The young emperor solemnly said: "Your father and brother died at the border. I am very sad. I wonder if Miss Lin still has any relatives in her family? Or are they distant relatives?"

Lin Wan'er shook her head.

The young emperor knew that she was poisoned and mute by the people from Beiliang, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes: "How did your father and brother die?"

The **** behind him brought a small case that had been prepared and placed it in front of Lin Wan'er.

Lin Wan'er picked up the pen, dipped the nib in ink, and wrote on the paper: "Three years ago, General Lu discovered important military information from Shengjing, Beiliang, and rushed back to Yumen Pass overnight to report to General Han. On the way, he encountered a group of bandits from Beiliang. , was rescued by my father and brother. On the way to **** General Lu back to the military camp, the Beiliang thieves came back and brought many secret guard masters with them. My father and brother... eventually died tragically at the hands of those Beiliang people. "

The young emperor looked at her gradually clenching fingers and her gradually red eyes, and suddenly couldn't bear to ask any more questions.

The **** glanced at the emperor and finished the question on his behalf: "Where is Xuan Tie Ling?"

Lin Wan'er held back her tears and continued to write: "Before his death, my father gave the Black Iron Order to General Lu and asked him to come to Ji County to find his daughter."

"I see."

The young emperor nodded, "Does General Han know the identity of your father?"

Lin Wan'er shook her head, dipped in ink again, and wrote: "My father kept his name anonymous. General Han only thought that his father was a deputy general who rose from an ordinary soldier."

The official system of the military camp is slightly different from that of the imperial court. Under the general, officers can be appointed by the general without approval from the Ministry of Revenue.

The young emperor asked: "Do you know the whereabouts of the other eleven guards?"

Lin Wan'er wrote: "I don't know."

The young emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Your father asked Lu Lingxiao to leave the Black Iron Order to you. He must have had some ulterior motive besides entrusting you."

If she was just a caretaker, there was no need to reveal her identity. The life-saving grace alone was enough for Lu Lingxiao to take care of her for the rest of her life.

Lu Xingzhou understood the implication of the young emperor's words. He turned his eyes and immediately said, "Wan'er, when you were at home, did the Eleven Guards come to visit your father?"

Lin Wan'er recalled it and wrote: "Some people have been here, but my father didn't tell me who those people were, and he didn't allow me to ask."

"This is it!" Lu Xingzhou looked at the young emperor excitedly, "Although I don't know where the Eleven Guards have gone, I feel that maybe one day, they will take the initiative to contact Wan'er! Wan'er, if the Eleven Guards come looking for you, you You will report it to Your Majesty, right?"

The young emperor looked at Lin Wan'er for a moment.

Lin Wan'er nodded slowly.

Lu Xingzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

The young emperor asked again: "How are you in the Lu family?"

Lin Wan'er wrote: "My daughter, everything is well."

Luluo knelt on the ground and leaned forward, but stopped talking.

The young emperor's eyes fell on Lin Wan'er's looming veil: "What's wrong with your face?"

I didn't take a closer look just now, but now that I took a closer look, something seemed wrong.

Lin Wan'er touched her face, lifted up the slightly drooping veil, and wrote: "It's okay."

The young emperor frowned.

The **** hurriedly stepped forward and pulled off her veil. Suddenly, a face with finger marks and bruises came into view.

Not to mention the young emperor, even Lu Xingzhou was surprised.

The young emperor said angrily: "Who hurt you?"

Lin Wan'er didn't speak.

The young emperor looked coldly at Lu Luo beside her: "Say! If you dare to lie even half a word, you will be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor!" Lu Luo said tremblingly: "It's... the young lady!"

The young emperor clenched his fists: "How unreasonable!"

Lu Xingzhou glared at Lu Luo fiercely, lifted up the hem of his clothes, knelt down and saluted, "I am guilty of lax management of the family!"

The young emperor was about to get angry when a guard opened the curtain and entered, whispering a few words in his ear.

His expression changed slightly, and the fist in his hand clenched tighter, and after a moment, he slowly loosened it.

Lu Xingzhou observed the words and said wisely: "Your Majesty, I and Wan'er have been away for a long time. It's time for the old lady and my mother to worry. I will leave first, Wan'er."

Lin Wan'er kowtowed and left with Lu Xingzhou with Lu Luo.

The young emperor came out of the pavilion, looked at the mountain ranges, and walked to the small courtyard behind the temple.

Lu Yuan was sitting on the floor of a luxurious and elegant Zen room with not much furniture, a screen, a small case, two futons, one large and one small, and a stove with hot tea.

The imperial doctor just changed his medicine.

He moved erratically, and the wound was not recovering well. The imperial doctor asked him to remain silent, and his upper body was only covered with a thick purple robe.

When the young emperor entered the house, he saw him sitting on the ground with injuries, leaning against the wall and reading Buddhist scriptures.

This disheveled appearance can be said to be a disgrace to the royal family.

But in the capital, who can say anything wrong to the governor of mainland China?

"Father Shang."

The young emperor said.

Lu Yuan paused while reading the Buddhist scriptures, turned around, and smiled: "Why are you here, Your Majesty? I am seriously injured and cannot salute. Please forgive me."

The young emperor sat down on the floor opposite him: "Father Shang is serious. I heard that Father Shang is recuperating in the Dudu Mansion..."

Lu Yuanfeng said calmly: "It's just a cover."

The young emperor said: "Father, do you know who did it?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said: "We are still investigating. If we find anything, we will report it to Your Majesty as soon as possible."

The young emperor lowered his eyes and rubbed the tassel on his waist somewhat helplessly.

Lu Yuan continued to read Buddhist scriptures.

The young emperor broke the sudden silence: "I came to Hanshan Temple today... to meet Miss Lin."

Lu Yuan paused: "Shen Hou's daughter?"

The young emperor nodded: "Yes."

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you can see whoever you want to see. You don't have to tell me."

The young emperor stopped talking and rubbed his ears nervously, as if he wished he could make a twist out of them.

Lu Yuan lazily turned over a page of Buddhist scriptures: "Master Liaokong is next door. Since His Majesty is here, let's go and meet him."

The young emperor stood up, turned around and walked out of the Zen room.

At the door, he turned his back to Lu Yuan and looked at the high distant mountains: "Shangfu heals his wounds carefully and returns to the court as soon as possible. I still need Shangfu to rule the country with me!"

On the other side, when the old lady saw that Lin Wan'er was back, she knew that the things her son had told her were done, so she decided to go back home.

The nanny appeared at the right time: "So the lady is here, disturbing you all!"

She reached out to hug Baoshu.

Baoshu tossed her little head and plunged into Meng Qianqian's arms.
