The emperor knew today what happened in his house yesterday?

Lu Bozhou felt a layer of cold sweat on his spine.

He fell to his knees with a plop. In his haste, he could not think of any excuse to refuse, so he spoke directly and honestly: "My wife and I have a deep affection for each other, and I do not want a beauty."

The emperor placed his hands on the table and slowly stood up.

He walked up to Lu Bozhou with his hands behind his back.

Circled around Lu Bozhou.

He laughed: "A loving couple? Then why is your wife still a virgin?"

Cold sweat broke out on Lu Bozhou's forehead all of a sudden.

"I... your servant... your servant has not yet married my wife. When I got married, I was still a prisoner. My wife married me while holding a rooster..."

Lu Bozhou took a deep breath and gradually recovered from his panic.

"I love her deeply and don't want to offend her. So, I want to find another opportunity to hold a grand wedding for her and marry her again."

"And then the bridal chamber."

The emperor circled around Lu Bozhou again, with a grim smile on his lips: "They say that when one passes the imperial examination, one should spend the wedding night together. Why didn't you want to spend the wedding night together when you passed the imperial examination?"

"Lord Lu, deceiving the emperor is a capital crime!"

Lu Bozhou replied: "At that time, I was called away by the officials of the Ministry of Rites to learn etiquette for a night, and I missed the opportunity."

The emperor stopped circling, stood in front of Lu Bozhou, and suddenly said, "I heard that Lord Lu had birthmarks on both arms when he was born. I am very curious. Can you let me see them?"

Lu Bozhou was stunned for a moment.

Li Jinglan never consummated the marriage with him and never saw his body.

How could the emperor know something that even Li Jinglan didn't know?

There's something weird everywhere today.

But the emperor was right before his eyes, leaving him no time to think.

He rolled up his sleeves, revealing the plum blossom moles on both arms.

A bolt of thunder struck from outside the ninth heaven.

The emperor was stunned.

When he first saw the Golden Palace, he had doubts.

With every meeting and every conversation afterwards, the doubts in my heart deepened.

He had thought countless times about how to recognize each other and what to say when they did.

Now, the eighteen years of anticipation are right before our eyes.

He just had to bend down.

Just bend down and call me my son...

The emperor took a half step back, his voice was very soft, but his hands hidden in his sleeves were trembling slightly: "I give you two choices."

"First, I will officiate at your wedding."

"Second, I will grant Zhou Jin a marriage."

"Lord Lu, you choose!"

Lu Bozhou's eyes suddenly widened and stared at the hem of the emperor's dragon robe.

Countless information flooded into my brain, causing it to hurt.

The faces of Li Jinglan and Zhou Jin flashed alternately before his eyes.

He gritted his teeth and leaned forward: "I beg Your Majesty to grant Zhou Jin a marriage."

The emperor frowned and looked at Lu Bozhou who was kneeling on the ground, with no expression on his face.

"The daughter of He Chang, the academician of Jingzhao Prefecture, is gentle, kind and respectful, and can be a good match."

"Go down!" the emperor said slowly.

After Lu Bozhou left, the emperor walked back and forth in the palace.

After a while, he turned around and said, "Reward!"

There was uncontrollable excitement in his voice, "Shang Ze'er..."

At this point, he suddenly changed his words, "It's too hot this month, so I'll reward King Jin with 1,000 taels of gold, 10 blocks of ice, a hot spring villa, and two three-foot-tall red corals."

"Reward each of the seven cabinet members with two blocks of ice and five baskets of fresh fruit."

After saying this, the emperor said in a cold voice: "If even one word of what happened today gets out, everyone in the palace will be beaten to death."

All the eunuchs in the hall knelt down.

The emperor walked to the table, picked up the scripture and opened a page, but he couldn't continue reading.

"I am happy today."

"I am happy and love killing people!!"

The emperor threw the scriptures onto the table.

After returning to Wenyuan Pavilion, Lu Bozhou still looked somewhat distraught.

Zhou Jin noticed something was wrong and hurried over: "What's wrong?"

Hearing Zhou Jin's voice, Lu Bozhou came to his senses and pulled Zhou Jin into a remote and deserted place.

He lowered his voice and said, "I was delivering the scriptures just now, and His Majesty suddenly asked about you. I made up my mind and asked His Majesty to grant me marriage."

"What?" Zhou Jin was horrified, and his voice became louder involuntarily, "You are confused! How can you beg..."

He lowered his voice and said, "I told you I would ask for it myself. You have a bright future, and you can't let this matter involve you."

Lu Bozhou smiled and assured him, "His Majesty has agreed, saying, 'The daughter of He Chang, the academician of Jingzhao Prefecture, is gentle, kind and respectful, and can be a good match.' I think there will be an imperial decree to give it to you soon."

Zhou Jin stared at Lu Bozhou in a daze.

I recalled the distraught look on Lu Bozhou's face when he came back from the palace just now.

Something must have happened in the palace.

What did Lu Bozhou use to exchange for the opportunity of marriage?

Zhou Jin was sad and held Lu Bozhou's hand tightly: "I will tell you my intention on the Golden Terrace and die for you with Yulong."

Done.

Zhou Jin straightened his clothes and bowed deeply to the ground.

Jin Palace.

After hearing the imperial edict, Prince Jin looked at the two red corals and ten carts of ice in front of him, feeling somewhat puzzled.

There are quite a lot of rewards today.

The King of Jin asked Liu Quan, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly give so many rewards?"

Liu Quan kept shaking his head: "My Lord, please don't make things difficult for me."

Prince Jin took out a silver note worth one hundred taels.

Liu Quan took the banknote and bowed. Perhaps because he bowed too much, his sleeves slipped down a little. "My Lord, I have to go back to the palace to report."

"Hey! This brat, he takes the money but doesn't do anything." Prince Jin glanced at Liu Quan's sleeves, pointed at Liu Quan and scolded him with a smile.

After Liu Quan returned to the palace, he honestly repeated the words of Prince Jin to the emperor.

She also took out the banknotes and said, "The prince rewards this servant with one hundred taels of silver."

The emperor nodded and continued to read the memorials.

Then he threw the memorial to the ground and launched into a rage:

"What a salt inspector, what a Songjiang Prefecture, they treat human life as worthless."

"Pass the order down and call the cabinet to discuss the matter!"

"I want to ask the cabinet, is this how they manage the country for me? Is this how they treat my people?"

Liu Quan thought of the words 'I like to kill people when I am happy' and also of the time when he bowed to the Prince of Jin.

My legs went limp and I fell to my knees.

After climbing twice without getting up, he used his hands and feet to crawl out of the hall.

He went to convey the order tremblingly.

Seven cabinet ministers entered the palace to discuss matters.

The news spread throughout Wenyuan Pavilion in an instant.

Didn’t Your Majesty just reward the seven cabinet ministers with ice and fruit? Why is he so angry all of a sudden?

Everyone in Wenyuan Pavilion was terrified.

Lu Bozhou glanced at the people in the pavilion and thought about the audience with the emperor today.

Shocked and frightened.

The emperor placed spies around him.

Who is this spy?

who is it?

The people around him were all brought from Nanli County.

Who betrayed him?

He desperately wanted to find someone to talk to.

I'm desperate to get off work.

Want to go home.

after get off work.

Li Jinglan stood at the second gate to greet him.

As soon as I saw Li Jinglan.

Lu Bozhou felt like a small boat that had finally reached the shore and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He held Li Jinglan in his arms, "Jinglan..."

"What's wrong?" Li Jinglan felt Lu Bozhou's body trembling slightly and asked him softly.

Lu Bozhou didn't want to say this in front of the servants, so he just hummed and said, "I'm tired, let's go back."

Go back inside and wait until all the servants have gone down.

Talk about what happened today.

"How did your Majesty know that I have a plum blossom mole on my arm? Jinglan..."

Lu Bozhou grabbed Li Jinglan's hand and said, "Someone in my family betrayed me. Find that person. Is it Lu An? He bathed me."

Li Jinglan felt that Lu Bozhou was frightened today, and comforted him softly: "Lu An came into contact with us because Lu Xuande came to our house and became your servant. He was born in the Lu family and grew up in Xishui Village. We are so good to him and Lu Ping, is there any need for him to betray you?"

"Not Lu An? Then who is it? I have to know who is your majesty's man." Lu Bozhou was like a frightened bird.

He clenched Li Jinglan's hand and said, "We must find it out! Otherwise, I will be afraid even when I sleep, and I will suspect everyone."

Li Jinglan knew what was going on, but she didn't dare to say it and kept her voice down.

"Today, you checked the servants at home as soon as you got home because of the plum blossom mole. In the eyes of His Majesty, he will think you are provoking him."

"What should we do after we find him? Can we chase him out or kill him?"

"It's better to know nothing and continue like this."

"But..." Lu Bozhou was about to say something else, but Li Jinglan stood on tiptoe and pecked him lightly on the lips.

Lu Bozhou felt a warmth between his lips, but before he could savor the taste, everything disappeared.

But with this peck, the panic and uneasiness in his heart gradually disappeared.

I can't mess up!

I can't panic!

I have a family and I must protect them!

Lu Bozhou finally regained his composure.

He opened his arms, hugged Li Jinglan in his arms, and closed his eyes.

Everything in the past flashed through my mind.

Lu Bozhou spoke slowly, "There is something wrong with Mr. Wu You! Cooling off at the hot spring villa... He wants to see my arm."

"Princess Ningguo's appearance is also problematic. How could she, a princess, care whether I was humiliated or not? And she even sent me a compensation gift worth several thousand taels?"

"Who is Qingyangzi? Who sent him?..." Lu Bozhou murmured.

Li Jinglan leaned in Lu Bozhou's arms.

Know everything.

But I can't say anything.

"Tomorrow, you go meet Qingyangzi and test him." Lu Bozhou spoke to Li Jinglan in his arms.

Li Jinglan said, "Okay."

Lu Bozhou also warned Li Jinglan, "Don't tell your uncle about this, and don't tell your uncle or Uncle Wang. Just keep it to yourself, and it should be known only to the two of us."

Li Jinglan still said yes.

"Keep an eye on Xiao Yu'er and don't let her meet Mr. Wu You again."

Speaking of Lu Guanyu.

Li Jinglan sighed in her heart.

Lu Guanyu's toys are almost filling up his bed.

King Jin sent people to deliver things to Lu Guanyu every night.

If this continues, what will happen?

I really need to have a good talk with Qing Yangzi.

It can't be sent any further.

Something bad will happen.
