“Ahem, in my opinion, Lord Wang simply looks down on you generals.

After all, you only know how to ask Lord Wang for weapons, armor, and war horses, and you beat him up if he is slow to prepare them, but you don’t know how to use money to bribe him.”

As the regent who was nominally second only to the emperor, Xiao Churan also attended the banquet despite his illness.

Lord Wang asked for help from the Minister of War and the Prime Minister with a sad face. After being ignored by the two, he knelt down in front of Emperor Mingde.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged!"

"Lord Wang, where is the injustice?"

Emperor Mingde embraced Concubine Su, who had a face as beautiful as a distant mountain. He held a pure gold dragon-patterned wine jar with his bony fingers, gently shaking it and casually feeding it to the beauty's lips.

The transparent wine overflowed from the red lips, flowed over the smooth white neck, and seeped into the beautiful mountains half-covered by the gorgeous brocade.

The beauty was already drunk, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were dazed, and she stared blankly at the slightly sharp jawline behind the golden mask in front of her, as if she was wondering what day it was.

The scene was erotic and charming, but no one dared to look directly at the holy face.

As an emperor, there was no need for him to argue with his ministers. Before he could get impatient, the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple and the Minister of Justice came forward together and accused Wang Wentian of a series of crimes, including abusing his power for personal gain, accepting bribes, and raping women.

"anything else?"

The emperor continued to treat Concubine Su as a favorite and forced her to drink in front of her father and brother. He glanced at the princes and spoke in a casual tone.

All the princes who were swept by his gaze trembled and became very restrained at the banquet.

The Dali Temple Minister and the Ministry of Justice Minister looked at each other.

"And there are intentions of rebellion!"

"Your Majesty, please punish me!"

Emperor Mingde sighed softly and tilted the wine cup, as if to comfort an old friend.

"I'll leave this trivial matter of killing nine clans to you two dear ministers."

He laughed out loud and ordered the singer to continue dancing. He leaned against the dragon throne with squinting eyes. His dragon robe was slightly messy, giving him a sense of bohemianness.

……

Xiao Churan went to the palace to attend the banquet, leaving Lu Yingxue alone in the Regent's Palace.

Because he had specifically ordered that no outsiders were allowed to approach Qingzhu Courtyard, and anyone who tried to spy on the identities of the people living in the courtyard would be torn into pieces by five horses.

There were only two servants in the yard who were responsible for cleaning. After finishing their work, they would leave quickly.

It was three quarters past eight in the evening, and the lights in the courtyard were still not lit.

Lu Yingxue was lying on her side outside the bed, and had been staring at Lu Ningshuang in the darkness for a long time.

The girl lay quietly, even her breathing was weak. She was much more obedient than Miss Lu who usually ridiculed or framed her.

"At first I thought that if I was more lively, I could bring joy to the family, but my mother cursed me and said that I was deliberately showing off."

Lu Yingxue lifted a strand of the girl's hair and brushed it across the tip of her fair nose, sneering:

"You are really crying because of my envy."

At that time, the sick child was very small and weak. He couldn't leave his room and the arms of adults.

I could only watch her having fun through the window with envy.

It's so pitiful that he can't even walk.

“Later I thought if I was calmer and more obedient, they would like me, but they still ignored me.

When I was sick in bed, I realized that only the crying child gets candy, just like you. When you cry, it seems that the whole house is heartbroken. "

Lu Yingxue laughed out loud, tears silently flowing from the corners of her eyes. She said self-deprecatingly:

"When I tried to cry and make a scene to attract their attention, all I got was vicious scolding from my mother. She asked me how I could cry after I had done this to me, and asked me why I was so tough.

I suddenly realized that it doesn’t matter whether you cry or not. What matters is you. As long as it’s you, they will like whatever you do.

You are a family, and I am the extra one. Just like now, they are willing to die with you, but they directly kicked me out. "

Lu Yingxue suddenly reached out and gently touched the girl's face. Her skin was smoother than silk, more tender than milk, and more elastic than eggs.

They really take good care of their treasures!

And she was a poor creature who was abandoned like a worn-out shoe.

Lu Yingxue touched the girl's throat with her calloused hand, raised her lips and sneered, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"The affection between you three is so touching! But what can I do if I can't bear to see you loving each other?"

Her fingertips imitated the movement of a knife across the slender neck, but the next moment, she buried her face in the girl's neck, her body trembling slightly.

She cried for a long time, as if she wanted to let go of all the grievances from past and present lives.

When the tears stopped, her eyes became dim and her expression became cold.

"Didn't you say that we are the closest people in the world? Sickly boy, come with me."

……

Jing Shiyue is busy like a top all day long.

He had to treat Mrs. Lu, heal Fu Nanjia's leg, and look up information to detoxify Xiao Churan.

Of course, the most important thing is to take care of the Second Young Lady every day and find a way to prolong her life.

It’s good enough if I can sleep for an hour a day.

When he came to the palace from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion after treating Fu Nanjia's leg, he was so shocked that he couldn't breathe when he saw the empty bed.

"Second miss..."

He fell headfirst onto the bed.

……

The state banquet was a success, for most people.

After presenting a gift package of reincarnation for all nine clans to the Minister of War who had cooperated with Concubine Li in murdering her youngest daughter and colluded with the Qiang State to assassinate Prince Baili, Duke Lu, who was drunk, returned home humming a little tune.

But before I could even get comfortable in my chair or swallow the sobering soup, someone came stumbling in to report.

"Master, something bad has happened. Something terrible has happened..."

"It's unlucky to say this at the end of the year! What's all the fuss about?"

Lu Jianzhang frowned and scolded him.

Outside the Regent Palace, the subordinate who was doing surveillance and protection said with a sad face:

"The eldest lady has kidnapped the second lady!"

"what?!"

Lu Jianzhang's face turned pale and he shouted angrily, "Evil creature! Chase them! Be careful, don't hurt the Second Miss!"

……

On the empty street, a carriage was speeding towards the outside of the city. Qinghe was driving the carriage with a very serious expression.

Hanqiu, who was pretending to be Lu Yingxue, leaned against the wall of the car, vomiting and muttering:

"What on earth are you trying to do, young lady, hi... Qinghe, could you please drive more steadily, hi... hi..."

Qiu Ju, the fake second young lady, who was lying on the couch, shook her head to adapt to the bumpy rhythm of the car and said leisurely:

"What else could it be? The master wants to hide the second young lady."

"What are you hiding for?"

Although Hanqiu is Lu Yingxue's most trusted confidant, she is still a bit naive. Qiuju deliberately joked:

"What else can you do if you hide a beautiful girl in a golden house?"

Hanqiu: (⊙o⊙)!

"No, isn't it?"

Seeing Hanqiu, who looked pale, putting on a mask of fear, Qiuju laughed out loud.

"Silly girl, do you really believe it?"

Hanqiu wiped his mouth, feeling a little frustrated.

"We are both the eldest lady's confidants, and we should trust each other. How could I have thought that you would lie to me?"

"Hold on tight! Go!"

After Qinghe gave the cold instructions, he whipped the horse hard.

Qiuju hurriedly grabbed the car wall, and the dazed Hanqiu hit her head against the window sill. The curtains were blown open by the strong wind, and she suddenly saw countless flames behind her.

"This, this, this..."

Will the master send thousands of troops to chase them?

The overwhelming murderous aura made Hanqiu's heart pound, as if he would die of fear in the next moment.
