After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle
Chapter 272: Common Outrage
Lu Linchu left the palace quickly. Thinking about how he was today, Fu Guiyun seemed to feel a lot more relieved as she no longer had to worry about consummating the marriage with him in the future.
When he woke up the next day, You Dian came to the palace and told Lu Qingchen what happened last night.
He has always been trustworthy in his work, and Fu Guiyun is not worried that Lu Linchu will punish the little guy for a few more days. It is not a bad thing to let him kneel in Du Jiuniang's sacrificial room for a few more days.
After You Dian reported Lu Qingchen's affairs, he mentioned another matter to Fu Guiyun.
"Queen, the Chu family has been escorted back from the north."
He said, "But I heard an interesting story. Because the north is still under the control of Dayan, the guards sent by Your Majesty are not many. However, the father and son of the Chu family forced the yamen runners and petty officials of the entire supervision camp to act as cart animals to pull the cart for the Chu family."
"There is such an interesting thing."
Fu Guiyun smiled speechlessly.
It is reasonable for people who have been exiled to be supervised. The bailiffs guarding the place of exile will naturally not think that these criminals have a chance to turn things around, and will only bully them in every possible way.
However, she heard that Lu Linchu had sent people to secretly take care of the Chu family, so she thought that they would not suffer too much.
Not to mention that the north is still controlled by Dayan, this family has not yet returned to the south, but they have already started to seek revenge, and even refused to let go of the minor official who had guarded them. I'm afraid they don't expect to return safely.
If anything happens, I'll be dead without a burial place.
You Dian looked at her and continued, "I wonder if the Queen still remembers my godfather, Eunuch Han?"
"Han Mao?"
Fu Guiyun has been asking about Juan's whereabouts and really wants to find him.
"My foster father has been fleeing east and west since Dakang was destroyed. He met the Chu family in the north and said he wanted to share the queen's worries, except for the father and son of the Chu family."
You Dian said: "I also think that it is imperative to get rid of the Chu family father and son, and we must not let the Chu family return to Daning."
"I appreciate Eunuch Han's kindness. Tell him that there is no need to do anything unnecessary to avoid trouble."
Fu Guiyun smiled and said, "It is said that one who commits evil will suffer. The father and son of the Chu family have not yet returned to Daning, but they are so arrogant and domineering. They do not know how to be patient and dormant. I am afraid that the guards sent by Your Majesty cannot protect them."
After thinking for a moment, she said, "We don't need to take action. There are people who cannot tolerate the Chu family. If Eunuch Han really wants to relieve me of my worries, you can ask him to find out the whereabouts of Hu An for me."
"Yes."
You Dian left immediately.
Fu Guiyun and Lu Qingyu had just finished their breakfast when they saw Cheng Kui rushing in.
"Queen, something terrible has happened."
He said hurriedly, "Your Majesty has issued an edict to posthumously confer the title of Empress Duanren on Du Jiuniang and to confer the title of Imperial Consort Chun on Chu Huaixi. The father-in-law of the emperor has led many court officials to kneel in the Yangxin Palace, trying to persuade His Majesty to revoke the order."
Fu Guiyun remained calm after hearing this. He recited the two titles carefully and felt that they were extremely ironic.
Of those two, one was a woman who disobeyed her parents and assassinated her own children's grandparents and was posthumously named "dignified and kind", while the other had ulterior motives and was canonized as the "Pure" imperial concubine.
"Queen, why don't you quickly take out the Queen Mother's will and present it to His Majesty."
Cheng Kui frowned and said, "The father-in-law has always been a straightforward person. If Your Majesty refuses to give in, the father-in-law and the court officials will probably anger Your Majesty, and the consequences will be disastrous."
"No, the Queen Mother's will is not enough to change your Majesty's mind at this time."
Fu Guiyun already had a plan in mind. If he wanted Lu Linchu to feel disgusted by his decision today, the will would only work after he himself felt the absurdity of his decision.
Besides, most of the Fu family members were grateful to Lu Linchu for sending his soldiers across the river to rescue them, so it was time for them to distance themselves from him.
Although my father will suffer some torture because of this uproar, it will intensify the dissatisfaction of all the civil and military officials in the court towards Chu Huaixi.
It would not be difficult to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of the Chu father and son.
"Xiao Kuizi, what kind of trouble can a concubine without any external support cause in this palace?"
She asked Cheng Kui meaningfully.
Cheng Kui was confused: "I don't understand what the Queen means."
Fu Guiyun smiled lightly: "It's okay, you will know in a few days."
"Then the father-in-law..."
"You've already said that my father is a straightforward person. If he chooses to speak out directly, how can I stop him?"
Fu Guiyun warned in a deep voice: "Let them make trouble."
Cheng Kui nodded and had to leave.
The city of Dongyi was in an uproar over the emperor's posthumous title conferred on Du Jiuniang, and the two events soon spread to the cities of Jiurong and Liyang.
Lu Linfeng originally hated this woman Chu Huaixi, but it was a pity that he failed to get rid of her directly at the beginning. Now that he learned that she was suddenly promoted to a noble concubine, he was even more angry.
If she found out that it was me who sent people to assassinate her, then my career as Prince Li would probably be over.
"Ever since that Chu girl came to power, Your Majesty's behavior has become more and more absurd."
Sitting in the palace, he kept complaining to several trusted aides: "I heard from the spies in the palace that the Chu family has started to take revenge before they return. I am afraid that once the Chu family returns to Dongyi City, our Lu family will have a hard time."
"Prince Li is probably worrying too much."
The Right Chief Clerk said, "No matter how scheming the Chu family girl is, at least she is under the control of the Queen. Even if the father and son return, they won't be able to cause any trouble."
"The Queen's submissive nature can restrain her from doing anything."
Lu Linfeng scolded: "It was the Queen who took the initiative to mention the posthumous title of Du Jiuniang. The brat under her wing is a little devil. He made his father furious as soon as he entered the new capital. I'm afraid the Queen's life is like walking on thin ice now."
After thinking it over, he solemnly ordered: "Don't let the Chu family return to Daning. The Chu family father and son must be killed in the northern border."
Just as he was arranging the assassins and the specific actions, Cui Ying suddenly rushed into the hall and said, "My husband, please do not act rashly."
She said, "Now that the Queen and the Fu family are so powerful, why bother provoking that evil villain? Let them fight among themselves. Wouldn't it be better if both sides suffer losses?"
"It's really a woman's opinion, so stupid."
Lu Linfeng would never tell her about the assassination attempt on Chu Huaixi. He glared at Cui Ying in dissatisfaction.
"The queen is at least sensible and sensible. If anything goes wrong with her and the Fu family, and that scheming girl from the Chu family gains power, do you still expect to live a peaceful life? Do you think that girl from the Chu family is as kind and generous as the queen, and will protect you everywhere?"
Cui Ying was very anxious: "But if His Majesty knew that my husband sent someone to assassinate the Chu family father and son, he would never let Prince Li off easily."
Lu Linfeng's eyes flashed with cunning: "I know my limits."
He had no intention of paying any more attention to this woman and was about to leave with two of his confidants.
Cui Ying felt that he was deliberately protecting the queen and wanted to remove obstacles for her.
She didn't understand where that woman got such great charm that she could bewitch all the Lu family members.
She couldn't bear to see her husband always thinking about other women.
