After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Zhaoming Palace.

The retired emperor was reading the memorials reviewed by Zong Zhengxi when Eunuch Fu walked into the main hall, panting. He was hunched over with his hands raised behind his back. This extremely strange posture made two generations of emperors frown at the same time.

Zong Zhengxi asked: "Fuluhai, what are you carrying on your back?"

Eunuch Fu sighed and said, "I am carrying a pot on my back, a pot given by the old lady."

After saying this, he pulled out the stick that had been tucked into his waist and presented it with both hands, "The murder weapon, the old lady beat up Master Xun."

The Emperor: “…”

Zong Zhengxi: “…”

As soon as Prime Minister Xun came home from court, he heard that his son had been beaten like a birthday god and hurried back to the prime minister's residence.

Xun Yu was lying on the bed, looking like a ghost. His forehead was so swollen that his eyes could not be opened.

If it weren't for the fact that this was his own son, Prime Minister Xun would have kicked him out.

At this time, the court doctor was treating him, but because his injuries were too severe, the doctor didn't know where to start.

"master."

The court physician bowed to Prime Minister Xun with great fear and trepidation.

Xun Yu's head was buzzing with pain. Not to mention speaking, even moving his lips would pull his swollen forehead.

Prime Minister Xun called his son's servant over.

The servant didn't dare to lie in front of his master, so he started to report everything from the moment Xun Yu opened his eyes today, which was to go to the toilet. He told the whole story in detail, no matter how big or small, and he didn't dare to hide a word or exaggerate.

He even confessed to pushing the second wife of the Lu family to the ground.

Prime Minister Xun was silent and thoughtful.

It didn't look like Lu Yuan's plan, because even if Lu Yuan had calculated that the Lu family would come to pick up the old lady today to collect her salary, he didn't expect Xun Yu to come.

It’s all Xun Yu’s bad luck, as he got into trouble by trying to stand out.

Prime Minister Xun looked at the servant.

The servant was trembling with fear, "Master, please spare me! Master, please spare me! I shouldn't have pushed the women of the Lu family, I shouldn't have let the prince get hurt, I..."

Prime Minister Xun asked, "What did they talk about in the hall?"

Prime Minister Xun asked.

The servant was stunned and quickly replied: "The prince asked the Grand Commander how he escaped from the temple that night. The Grand Commander said that his wife and the old lady came to the mountain to find him, and the emperor released them for the old lady's sake."

This situation is exactly the same as what Prime Minister Xun found out.

But the old lady of the Lu family——

Prime Minister Xun's gaze fell on his son's forehead, which was swollen like a birthday star. Could it be that the old lady really didn't do it on purpose?

Just as he was thinking about it, a servant outside the door reported: "Master, someone is coming from the palace."

The people who came were Eunuch Fu and the Director of the Imperial Medical Service. The Director was in charge of the entire Imperial Medical Service. His official position was higher than the two judges on the left and right, and he would not easily see patients.

Eunuch Fu said with concern, "Today, when I went to deliver salary to the old lady, I learned that she was ill again and accidentally injured Xun Shizi. I immediately returned to the palace to report to the emperor. The emperor was worried about Xun Shizi's injury and specially asked Envoy Yang to come and treat Xun Shizi."

Prime Minister Xun cupped his hands and said, "I am deeply grateful for the kindness of the Supreme Emperor!"

Yang Yuanshi carried the medicine box to treat Xun Yu.

Eunuch Fu sighed, "The old lady is old, and it's not the first time she beats people. I heard from the emperor that Steward Cen of the Governor's Office was also beaten up by her."

This matter can be checked.

On the day that Lu Lingxiao brought Lin Wan'er back to Beijing, the old lady had a fight with Manager Cen over buying osmanthus cake for Meng Qianqian. Naturally, she was the main one doing the fighting, and Manager Cen was beaten black and blue but did not fight back.

Eunuch Fu said this just to tell the Prime Minister: The Supreme Emperor said that the old lady was definitely not targeting Xun Yu on purpose.

Eunuch Fu smiled and said, "The Prime Minister is very generous and will not argue with a foolish old man."

Prime Minister Xun said, "Master Fu is too serious. My son was trying to stop the fight but failed to keep an eye on his servants. He accidentally injured Madam Lu. The old lady is just too protective of her. Please report this to the emperor on my behalf. This is my son's fault. I failed to teach my son well. I will apologize to the old lady and Madam Lu later."

It was clearly her own son who was beaten, but she still had to apologize to the person who beat him. This time, the old lady really made the prime minister's family suffer a big loss.

The old lady knew nothing about the conspiracy between the retired emperor and the prime minister's residence. After she finished putting the blame on others, she happily went to play with Tan'er and Baoshu.

The servants in the mansion were also patient and respectful to the old lady, unlike in the Lu family, where many people said one thing in front of her and another behind her back.

Mother Lu retracted her gaze and said to Meng Qianqian with relief, "I feel relieved that you and your grandmother are living well in the Governor's Mansion."

The reason why she came today was to see how the two were doing. On the wedding day, she felt how much Lu Yuan valued Qianqian, and she believed that Qianqian's life would not be worse than when she was in the Lu family.

But the old lady is a member of the Lu family after all, and she is a little worried that Qianqian will have a hard time in the Governor's Mansion.

Now it seems that I was too worried.

She held Meng Qianqian's hand and said, "The Grand Commander is a very good person. I'm afraid there are many misunderstandings about him in the outside world. Will today's incident cause you any trouble?"

Meng Qianqian smiled: "No, don't worry."

Just as he finished speaking, the steward of the Xiangguo Mansion came with gifts to apologize to the old lady.

The old lady said angrily, "Tell him to take care of his own son! If he bullies the second son's family again, I will beat him too!"

Meng Qianqian stuffed a purse into the Xun family's steward's pocket and said, "You don't need to convey this."

The Governor's Mansion seemed to be particularly lively today. Just after seeing off Lu's mother, Zong Zhengxi arrived.

He left the palace secretly, accompanied only by Xiao Dezi, who was dressed as a book boy.

As soon as Steward Cen saw the young Majesty, he was startled: "Your Majesty... Young Master!"

"Where's Lu Yuan?"

Zong Zhengxi strode into the mansion, "Tell him to come out and see me!"

"Yes Yes."

Manager Cen invited Zong Zhengxi to sit at the seat of honor in the flower hall in advance, and had people serve him snacks and honey flower tea.

In the past, even if Zong Zhengxi had a hundred guts, he would not dare to shout at Lu Yuan. But now the Prime Minister has returned to the court and his father has also returned to the capital. Lu Yuan has long been a paper tiger and he no longer needs to be afraid of Lu Yuan.

He sat with a broad stroke to show his kingly and domineering attitude.

He picked up the teacup and said arrogantly: "If you don't come again, I will chop off his head!"

"Whose head do you want to chop off, Your Majesty?"

Accompanied by a casual voice, Lu Yuan walked into the flower hall with a smile on his face.

Zong Zhengxi's body trembled, and he almost dropped the teacup in his hand in a panic. He stood up almost instinctively and blurted out: "Shangfu!"

Xiao Dezi couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

Lu Yuan raised his lips and said, "I didn't know that Your Majesty had arrived. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I just heard Your Majesty say that he wanted to chop off someone's head. Do you need my help?"

The blood pressure that came over him made Zong Zhengxi tremble again and again: "No, no need."

After answering, I realized that Lu Yuan was no longer the same Lu Yuan as before, and I didn't need to be afraid of him at all.

"It's so embarrassing, so disgusting."

He muttered in irritation.

Lu Yuan sat down next to Zong Zhengxi.

Zong Zhengxi watched him sit firmly before he slowly sat down. This time he sat upright and said, "I heard that you beat up the prime minister's son. Although it was the old lady who did it, it must have been you who ordered it, right? After all, you are the only one in the world who could do it."

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, are you praising me for my intelligence?"

Zong Zhengxi's body trembled. "No! I, I, I meant to say that you are... cunning! Fortunately, the Prime Minister is magnanimous and doesn't bother with you."

Lu Yuan did not comment, but smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are here just in time. I have something to return to Your Majesty."

Zong Zhengxi asked unhappily, "What?"

Lu Yuan presented a treasure book and a big seal: "From now on, the emperor's Jinyiwei will be returned to its original owner."
