Following Lu Wenqian's instructions, Ji Zhen sent Feng Yage's servants to the various courtyards of the Lu Mansion to convey orders, preparing to invite everyone in the house to take refuge in the Xiyuan Bank.

When Lu Boting and Lu Boyong heard this, they felt that Lu Wenqian had no good intentions, and they all ran to Jiang Rui's courtyard to complain.

The people of the Lu Mansion who had just dispersed gathered around Qishuang Courtyard again.

"Sister-in-law, this kid Wen Qian clearly wants to drag our whole family into human targets, and he even pretends to be a refuge."

Lu Boting angrily rebuked: "No one in Yanyang City knows that Wen Qian secretly trusted Li Du to encircle and suppress the rebels. Even if the rebels were defeated and poured into Yanyang City, they would only vent their anger on him." , if we go to Xiyuan Bank to take refuge, we will really die together with him."

"I think he just wants everyone to help him guard the Xiyuan Bank."

Lu Boyong was also quite dissatisfied.

"Second uncle, third uncle, don't blame your brother for his kindness."

Lu Junwan said: "Brother has traveled all over the country over the years and has cultivated some good hands under his staff. Although Fengyage is located on the outskirts of Lu Mansion, the Xiyuan Bank is located on a steep terrain. With this place, if everyone works together, , it’s better than a bunch of rabble guarding Nuo Da’s mansion that has no security.”

"What the third sister said is absolutely true."

Lu Wenjing savored Sanniang's words carefully and agreed with her point of view: "Although our family has thousands of servants guarding the courtyard, few of them have actually fought on the battlefield. At most, they are just relying on the power of the Lu family to bully the weak. Yes, if a war really breaks out, how can we stand up to those desperadoes?"

"Wen Jing, don't try to destroy your own prestige and enhance the ambition of others."

Lu Boyong scolded with an arrogant look: "I heard that Yan Chao also has many good hands. With him here, there will be no trouble in the Lu family."

"Yes."

Lu Boting smiled coldly: "Wen Jing, I know you and Wen Qian have a deep relationship, but this is not the time to show favoritism. Wen Qian is clearly harboring evil intentions. How can we listen to his orders?"

"In that case, please ask the second uncle and the third uncle to stay at home."

Lu Junwan was extremely heartbroken. He slowly looked at Jiang Rui and begged: "Mom, no matter what, we can't let our second brother stay alone in Fengyage. I also ask my mother to go with me to the Xiyuan Bank for refuge. In this way, everyone can also It’s good to have someone to take care of you.”

"If you can't let him go, just let him be."

Jiang Rui felt deeply helpless towards his daughter, and with a heartbeat, he waved his hand and said: "If you want to go to Fengyage Pavilion to die, no one will stop me today."

"Mother……"

Lu Junwan is very dissatisfied with her mother's current attitude.

But looking at her gloomy face, she was already determined, and there was no room for further persuasion.

She didn't know what her second brother had done wrong to make her mother dislike him so much. She refused to take him back to the main courtyard for refuge, nor to persuade everyone to go to Fengyage to fight against the rebels.

Anyway, I want to completely isolate the second brother.

Half of the credit for the big Lu family is supported by the second brother.

No matter what the second brother's purpose is, she will choose to live or die with him this time.

After blessing Jiang Rui heavily, she turned around and left resolutely.

"lady."

Jiang Yunqing was a little overwhelmed and had no choice but to chase after him.

Lu Wenjing and his wife Tang Shuli looked at each other and silently left Qishuang Courtyard.

……

In Fengya Pavilion, Lu Wenqian was helped out to inspect the surrounding defenses. Mrs. Wei led Qu A'a to follow him, her eyes full of anxiety.

"Uncle, people in the city are in panic right now. This kid Xiaochu is really shameless. He doesn't even know he's coming back..."

Before she finished speaking, Lu Wenqian immediately waved his hand: "Don't worry, mother-in-law, Madam will be fine, and we will all be fine."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lu Junwan walking in gloomily, followed by his son-in-law and his fourth wife.

"Mother……"

Lu Wenqian glanced at the people and saw that there was no one else behind him. He was about to mention Jiang Rui, but he swallowed the words as he spoke.

Her own life and death are now of no importance to her. How can she entrust her life and fortune to Feng Yage?

It seems that my good intentions have been misunderstood.

"That's it, that's all, pack up and prepare to evacuate to Xiyuan Bank."

Not allowing anyone to speak, Lu Wenqian turned around lonely and went straight back to the house.

<divclass="contentadv">No one was in the mood to be pretentious at this time. They looked at each other and started to get busy, preparing for defense together.

……

Imperial City, inside Wanshou Temple

Emperor Ming Zhao missed the late Concubine Chen and her dead child so much that he fell ill for several days. He could dream about the tragic death of the concubine every night, and he seemed to hear the cries of the baby and the woman.

Emperor Zhao of the Ming Dynasty was so frightened that he ordered Hongzhen to prepare rituals and personally save the souls of his beloved concubine and child.

After the preparations for the dojo were completed, Zhang Jinnian accompanied Emperor Ming Zhao to the temple. Emperor Ming Zhao looked at the portrait of Concubine Chen hanging in the dojo. The lifelike appearance made Emperor Ming Zhao fall in love with the scene. He knelt on the ground and couldn't help crying. stand up.

Hongzhen saw the right moment and silently recited the spell.

Not long after, the lights in the room trembled, and the ghost suddenly appeared above the hall.

Hongzhen and Gui Cha secretly glanced at each other, and then they saw a beautiful figure in white suddenly floating out from behind Gui Cha.

After the clothes swayed gracefully in the air, the figure slowly moved into the painting, and the person in the painting immediately started to move.

"The Imperial Concubine... The Imperial Concubine has appeared."

Zhang Jinnian pretended to be surprised and shouted out loud at first.

Emperor Ming Zhao looked up and saw that the person in the painting came to life and began to blink.

"Concubine."

Emperor Ming Zhao was startled at first, but then he boldly pounced on him, staring blankly at the person in the painting, and shouted excitedly: "My beloved concubine, is it really you?"

"Your Majesty, my concubine's blessings are shallow and I cannot stay by your Majesty's side for a long time. I am guilty of this."

Concubine Chen cried with blurred eyes.

"Never say that."

Emperor Ming Zhao also shed tears: "It's all my fault. I failed to take good care of you mother and son."

"No, it's not your Majesty's fault."

The person in the painting shook his head, his eyes full of anger: "It's the wet nurse. It was the wet nurse who harmed my concubine."

"Nurse?"

Emperor Ming Zhao turned his head to look at Zhang Jinnian in disbelief.

Zhang Jinnian knelt down in panic, too scared to speak.

The other eunuchs at the door also fell to the ground in fear.

"Zhang Ergou, tell me, what is going on?"

Emperor Ming Zhao was filled with indignation and asked sternly while staring at Nuo with big pupils.

Zhang Jinnian tremblingly took out a small bag containing medicinal powder from his arms and presented it to Emperor Ming Zhao with both hands:

"I accidentally discovered this strange medicinal powder when I was sorting out the clothes of the Holy Lady recently. I asked the imperial master to check and found out that this medicinal powder was returned."

"Fall back?"

Emperor Ming Zhao looked at Hongzhen: "What is it?"

"There are strange poisons in the world that are colorless and tasteless, destroy people's will, attract evil spirits to possess them, grind people's essence, and thus harm their lives."

Hongzhen said calmly.

"This old slave is guilty, please convict your Majesty."

Zhang Jinnian quickly kowtowed and begged.

Emperor Ming Zhao was about to cry but had no tears. He felt that the whole world had collapsed. He slowly looked at the person in the painting and said with sobs: "In this way, my queen, my beloved concubine..."

"His Majesty."

Concubine Chen was so distraught that she said hysterically: "Your Majesty wants to avenge my concubine and the Queen's sister."

As the words fell, the figures in the painting gradually disappeared, and finally faded into a piece of white paper.
