Quick Wear: Saving the Sickly and Paranoid Villain

At 16:30, accompanied by Di Lian, Lu Yi arrived at the royal reception room on time. Di Lian said that the emperor met him in a private capacity and therefore not in a special conference room.

The longer things were delayed, the worse it got. Yesterday, the Lu Group fell to a historic low. Lu Yi sat upright on the chair carved with exquisite patterns, but his hands unconsciously clenched the armrests. The anxiety in his heart surged like a tide, but he tried his best to keep a calm face, as if nothing had happened.

However, only he himself knew that at this moment his heart was already filled with endless worries and uneasiness, like a sea ravaged by a storm, unable to calm down.

Di Lian and Lu Yi have known each other for many years, so she has a certain understanding of Lu Yi. She passed the tea brought by the palace maid to Lu Yi and said, "My husband, Lian'er will help you try to persuade our father. No matter what, Lian'er will stand on your side."

Lu Yi took a sip of tea and said, "Lian'er, you have always been the most considerate and sensible. It is my honor to marry you. But now that this has happened... I am sorry for having wronged you."

Before she even got married, such a scandal broke out in her fiancé's family. Even ordinary people would find it hard to accept, let alone a princess of the empire.

Di Lian raised her head slightly, her eyes sparkling: "Lian'er is not wronged, Lian'er did it willingly."

Lu Yi sighed with relief and patted her hands.

The Emperor is 82 years old this year, but he is still energetic and radiant. Today, he is wearing a bright red casual suit, which makes him particularly eye-catching. His temples are gray and his face has deep and shallow wrinkles.

His eyes were bright and full of energy, revealing a light of perseverance and wisdom, as if he could see through everything in the world. His steps were steady and powerful, without any sense of old age, but instead gave people an impression of calmness and confidence. The whole person exuded a unique charm, attracting people around him to unconsciously approach him, wanting to listen to his stories and teachings.

"Father, you are here~" Di Lian quickly stood up to greet him and saluted, and Lu Yi followed closely.

Emperor Wei nodded seriously: "Don't be shy, sit down."

"Yes." Di Lian and Lu Yi sat down as instructed.

"Mr. Lu, long time no see." Emperor Xie sat on a chair with his hands crossed and a calm expression. Behind him stood two tall royal guards, giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression.

A week before the marriage was announced, Lu Yi was summoned to the palace and met Emperor Huan.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I didn't expect that we would meet under such circumstances." Di Wei stared at him, unable to discern his expression.

"This is a complete misunderstanding," Lu Yi said. "My son was brought back to City A in such a high-profile manner. It was obviously someone deliberately framed him. Yunzhao Village was involved in abduction and trafficking crimes. My son stood up for justice. Although it is against the law, I hope you can understand the heart of a young man who is eager to rid the country of harm."

"As soon as the incident happened, my son took the initiative to surrender himself, and," Lu Yi's eyes turned red, "my son was only 12 years old..."

"But the trafficking in Yunzhao Village is still questionable."

"That's because someone is secretly controlling the villagers of Yunzhao Village and preventing them from telling the truth!"

"Who dares to do this?"

This old thing! Lu Yi cursed in his heart, but said: "You have always been for the country and the people, but some people with evil intentions want to destroy the reputation of the empire. For the sake of the empire's face, I am willing to do my best!"

"How about this, there is not much that I, Lu, can do. I will voluntarily donate the land in the eastern district of City A to the royal family. This will also fulfill my long-cherished wish."

"Oh," Di Xu's eyes were calm, and his tone was filled with a hint of doubt, "Which piece of land?"

Lu Yi's face froze, and he took a deep breath and said, "I donated both plots of land in the east of the city."

Two plots of land in the capital, that's one billion! Lu Yi felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Di Qi's expression eased a little: "I know you have always been thinking about the empire. No wonder Lian'er has been thinking about you all these years. How about this, I will ask Di Qi to go to Yunzhao Village to find out the truth."

Diqi is the sixth prince of the empire and Dilian's biological brother from the same mother. He is two years older than Dilian.

"Father~" Lian'er looked at Lu Yi shyly.

Lu Yi returned an affectionate look, and then said to Emperor Xu: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I hope my son can be cleared of all charges."

Emperor Xu nodded lightly, a look of fatigue appearing on his face.

Di Lian said considerately: "Father, if you are tired, go and rest. Shall we take our leave first?"

"Ah."

Di Lian and Lu Yi stood up, bowed, and then left.
