The beautiful and powerful minister hooked up with the crazy emperor and couldn't escape

Princess Lanshu was also extremely angry: "How dare you use the name of the Prime Minister to do this? You really deserve to die! Has the Prime Minister been punished by His Majesty? I will go to the palace to see the Queen Mother now."

Prime Minister Lu held Lan Shu back and said, "Madam, please don't worry. Your Majesty is merciful. He only stripped my husband of his title of Marquis and ordered me to reflect on my mistakes behind closed doors. I must not make the same mistake again. Your Majesty did not demote me. I am still the Prime Minister. And I am ashamed and do not have the face to beg for mercy. If I had not been blinded by family affection, the people of Suizhou would not have suffered this disaster. It is my fault after all."

Prime Minister Lu shook his head and sighed, "You hold a high position but fail to judge people, which leads to endless troubles. I am so wrong!"

Princess Lanshu comforted him, "Your Excellency has also been deceived. Don't blame yourself too much."

"It's not good! It's not good, my Lord! Madam! General Wen Chu's adjutant is outside the door asking to see you, saying that he has brought an imperial edict!"

Prime Minister Lu and Lan Shu looked at each other, and both had a bad feeling in their hearts.

It was common knowledge in the court that the Prime Minister's Office and the Grand Tutor's Office were at odds with each other, and Wen Chu was a mad dog of the Grand Tutor. Although the Grand Tutor had retired, the relationship between the Prime Minister's Office and General Wen's Office had not improved, but had intensified.

The main reason was that the prime minister liked to find fault with the grand tutor. When the grand tutor was in power, the prime minister never gained any advantage. He thought that he could speak freely after the grand tutor retired.

As a result, the military officers under the Grand Tutor were not pushovers at all. Although their literary talent was far inferior to that of the Prime Minister, they were not illiterate. In addition, they spoke bluntly, or in other words, harshly. The Prime Minister did not gain any advantage. Instead, he was even more angry than when the Grand Tutor was there. After all, the Grand Tutor would not curse people casually. At most, he would make sarcastic remarks in a roundabout way, and he would also control the cursing of those rough men.

Wen Chu was the one who scolded him the most, no matter if he was right or not, as long as he dared to find fault with the Grand Tutor, he would start scolding him immediately and then talk about it after he was done. But Wen Chu, a warrior, was quite favored by the Majesty, and he had not done anything wrong. The biggest fault was probably that he was a homosexual.

When the prime minister and his wife arrived at the front hall, they saw Wen Chu's adjutant Zhang holding the imperial edict in a haughty manner. He did not even bow when he saw them, but just said loudly, "Prime Minister Lu, please accept the edict."

Prime Minister Lu looked extremely unhappy, but he had no choice but to kneel down and accept the order: "I accept the order."

"The Emperor, by the order of Heaven and Mandate, declares that the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion has behaved inappropriately... He is to be handed over to General Wen Chu within three days to be disciplined for a month. This is my decree."

After the imperial edict was read, Prime Minister Lu's face became paler and paler, and Princess Lanshu almost fainted.

Adjutant Zhang sneered and said, "Prime Minister, please accept my order!"

Prime Minister Lu placed his hands tremblingly on his head and said, "I accept your order."

"Prepare the horses to enter the palace!"

Princess Lan Shu had tears in her eyes. She stood up suddenly and then fell down again unsteadily.

Prime Minister Lu immediately caught the person: "Madam!"

Deputy Officer Zhang said expressionlessly, "Your Highness, His Majesty has issued an oral instruction: The Queen Mother has been sincerely worshipping Buddha recently, so Aunt Lanshu should not be disturbed. The imperial edict and oral instructions have been delivered, and I will take my leave."

Adjutant Zhang turned and left, not wanting to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion any longer. Dare to insult the Grand Tutor in the street, do you really think they are dead? It's only a month of education, but I don't know if the tender-skinned young master can bear it.

Princess Lan Shu covered her chest with her hands and burst into tears: "This is going to kill me!"

Prime Minister Lu was also heartbroken. His youngest son, Lu Yu, was born after his wife had a difficult labor. He had been spoiled since childhood and could not stand the teachings of those reckless men. Besides, the reckless man surnamed Wen was a homosexual. What if he had such thoughts about Yu'er, what should he do?

This matter started three months ago. Because the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Grand Tutor were not on good terms, Lu Yu couldn't help but said some unpleasant words when he met someone from the Grand Tutor's Mansion on the street. The next day, Wen Chu made a scene at the Prime Minister's Mansion. The Prime Minister's Mansion was indeed in the wrong, so they sent Lu Yu to his uncle's house to avoid the limelight.

Wen Chu didn't find Lu Yu that day, so he left after making some harsh remarks. They originally thought that the matter was over, but they didn't expect that Wen Chu would make things even more serious for him and actually asked for an imperial edict.

His Majesty obviously stood on Wen Chu's side, and did not allow the princess to disturb the Queen Mother, perhaps because he was implicated by Lu Youzhong. He was confined by His Majesty to reflect on his mistakes, and then Wen Chu's people came to deliver the imperial edict. It was hard to say that it was not intentional.

"Prepare the horses. If I cannot enter the palace, I will go to the palace gate and kneel down to beg His Majesty until he is willing to see me."

Lan Shu struggled to stand up and was about to go out, but was stopped by Prime Minister Lu.

"Useless lady, His Majesty is not in the palace."

"what?"

Prime Minister Lu explained, "Your Majesty has gone on a private visit in disguise. Currently, only a few of us ministers know about it. Madam, please keep it a secret."

"Then I will go and kneel down to beg the Queen Mother. No matter what, Yu'er cannot be handed over to Wen Chu." Lan Shu looked determined.

"Your Majesty has forbidden Madam to see the Queen Mother. Even if Madam goes, she won't be able to see her. She will also be charged with the crime of disobeying the Emperor's order! I'm afraid Yu'er will be in a more difficult situation by then. Madam, don't worry. I will think of a solution."

Lan Shu cried and sobbed: "What else can we do?"

At this moment, a servant suddenly came to report: "Sir, there is a young man outside the door claiming to be Master Lu Qi in the mansion, and he wants to go back to the mansion to pay a visit to you and your wife."

Prime Minister Lu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up: "What did you say? Say it again!"

The servant repeated it again, and Prime Minister Lu suddenly laughed out loud: "Madam, Yu'er is saved!"

Lan Shu also stopped crying: "How to save her?"

Prime Minister Lu said softly, "Madam, do you still remember how the imperial edict called Yu'er? The young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but in fact Yu'er can be the sixth, and Lu Qi is the real young master. It's just that he has been kept outside and is unknown to the public. We just need to hand Lu Qi over to Wen Chu."

Lan Shu frowned slightly: "Will this work?"

Prime Minister Lu smiled, "He is the youngest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He is completely following the imperial edict. It is not considered disobedience. Even Wen Chu cannot find fault with him. Besides, Lu Qi is the son of a maid who climbed into bed. If it were not for Madam's kindness, he would not have had the chance to be born. This time, just regard him as atoning for his mother's sin."

"Let him in!"

"Yes."

The servant took the order and went out. Soon he brought in Feng Jiuqing, who was wearing coarse linen clothes. Even the most inferior clothes could not hide Feng Jiuqing's unparalleled elegance.

Lan Shu was a little surprised. The maid was at most pretty, so how come the son she gave birth to was even more handsome than the son of her, who was the most beautiful woman in the capital at that time.

Feng Jiuqing concealed the emotions in his eyes and said, "Greetings to the Prime Minister, greetings to the Princess!"

A trace of disgust flashed across Prime Minister Lu's eyes, but he didn't notice that Feng Jiuqing's eyebrows and eyes looked familiar.

"You can't even kneel down and salute?"

Feng Jiuqing still stood straight: "My Lord Prime Minister, you may have forgotten that Lu Qi grew up in the countryside and doesn't know etiquette."

He threw him to the home of a distant relative and ignored him for more than ten years, and still had the nerve to say that he didn't know etiquette. Didn't Prime Minister Lu know that it was the father's fault for not educating the child?

"How outrageous! You rebellious son! You don't even know the most basic filial piety." The disgust in Prime Minister Lu's eyes became even stronger.
