The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Logically speaking, the lanterns placed in the palace should not be missing.

It can’t be found because someone has hidden it on purpose.

"That slave girl has been holding a grudge against her sister because she died in the palace. She has been harboring evil intentions for so many years. I don't know where she heard that the lantern was unlucky, so she hid it on purpose. She was originally responsible for taking care of the sundries in the palace, and no one else knows as much as she does..."

Concubine Shu has been very ill these past few days. The imperial physician has changed the prescription several times, but to no avail.

But this illness doesn't seem to be extremely serious. She feels uncomfortable in many parts of her body, but she can't explain why. Even if she asks the assistant doctor to see her more times, it's no use.

The assistant doctor only came to see me once!

Later, I told the emperor that the imperial physician would also be fine, but he was really old and his medical skills were not that great.

She was so angry.

"Where is that bitch?" The second prince was also very angry after hearing this.

No wonder the lantern could not be found. It turned out that the palace maid who was in charge of these things had deliberately hidden it.

"She's dead! After the truth was revealed, she actually hit her head against the pillar!"

Concubine Shu was extremely angry because the palace maid had hit her head against the pillar in her palace. She had to die in front of her and in her bedroom!

Moreover, the palace maid did it on purpose. She acted like a coward at the beginning and even fooled her.

If we had known in advance that she was seeking death, we would have had someone hold her down long ago. How could we have given her the chance to die here?

The pillar had been cleaned and even wrapped with purple gauze, but she still felt unlucky in her heart and felt depressed whenever she saw the pillar.

"Don't worry, mother. I'll ask everyone to put down what they are doing and search with all their strength. I don't believe we won't be able to find it."

The Second Prince passed down the order, and soon the entire bedroom became busy and everyone was searching, some were even climbing the walls, some were on the tiles, and some were exploring holes, as if they were going to turn the place upside down.

"What about your engagement with Lu Zhaoyun?" Concubine Shu was also depressed when she thought about this. "Did they really send the marriage certificate to the emperor?"

The second prince thought of Lu Zhaoyun's frail appearance, her tearful eyes as she nestled in his arms, and the rainy night she mentioned that year. The gratitude and pity in his heart were still aroused.

In addition to these few times, Lu Zhaoyun was really gentle to him and very close to him, so he was somewhat overwhelmed.

"Yes, the marriage certificate has indeed been sent to the emperor, but the emperor is not feeling well and has ignored it."

The Second Prince observed her expression and said, "Mother, the eldest son of the Lu family has done a good deed that is praised by everyone in the capital. Dai Xu and others also regard him as a benefactor. In addition, Lu Ming has presented a rare copy to the emperor. I think the Lu family may not be unable to take this opportunity to mention it."

"Lu Ming presented a unique copy? What unique copy?" Concubine Shu was stunned.

It seemed that she was really sick and confused, and she didn't even know about this.

"A small book written by Mr. Xianhe."

Mr. Xianhe was a capable lay scholar in the previous dynasty who had unique insights into all aspects of national governance, people's livelihood and geography. It is said that when the emperor was a teenager, he quoted Mr. Xianhe's arguments in a discussion among princes and performed well, which made the retired emperor determined to make him the crown prince.

Since then, the emperor has respected Mr. Xianhe even more.

"Lu Ming actually has this?" Concubine Shu was also shocked. This was completely beyond her expectations. "This small strategy book was what your father had ordered people to look for in his early years."

The emperor has long wanted this little policy book.

She quickly asked, "Could the book be fake?"

"Father asked the Prime Minister to check it carefully, and it should be true. Father is in a much better mood after receiving this unique copy."

If it weren’t for the incident with Marquis Qing Fu this time, my father might have already prepared to reward Lu Ming.

Concubine Shu's heart moved, "In this case, the Lu family is quite lucky."

Seeing that her attitude had softened somewhat, the Second Prince quickly said, "Isn't it? Although we all dislike Lu Zhaoling who came from the countryside, we have to say that it is also a blessing that she met the Emperor's uncle as soon as she entered the capital."

From this perspective, it seems to be correct?

Concubine Shu had never thought about it this way before, but now that the Second Prince said this, it seems to make some sense?

The second prince added, "The marriage contract was written in the Jingwen before, and it has been widely spread. Now that Lu Ming has taken out the marriage certificate, if we do not recognize it, we have to find a reasonable reason."

This reason is not easy to find.

Moreover, it depends on the emperor's opinion. The emperor is very concerned about his reputation, and the marriage certificate was presented in front of all the civil and military officials in the court. It should have been spread. If the emperor wants to deny the engagement, he may be afraid of being accused of not keeping his word.

Concubine Shu's thoughts changed.

"My son, go and find out your father's attitude towards the Lu family and see if he will reward the Lu family."

If the emperor looks at Lu Ming differently because of the rare copy, then the Lu family may have a chance to rise rapidly.

At that time, he could pick one with a good family background and let Lu Zhaoyun be his concubine. Then the engagement would not be considered as broken, and the prince would still have the support of his wife's family.

"Also, even if Lu Zhaoyun really wants to enter your house, she can only be a concubine. You have to handle this matter yourself and can't let her, who is from a small family, control her."

The second prince nodded.

Royal study room.

The emperor seems to be in better spirits today.

But he got a headache when he saw Prince Jin.

"Ayue, are you here today?"

"Brother Emperor, I'm here to see you. Are you feeling better today?" Zhou Shiyue looked concerned and sincere.

The emperor felt a little uneasy. Why didn't he believe it? Why did he care about him so much?

"much better."

Yesterday, the Qingfu Marquis's Mansion was searched, but not much profit was found. He felt distressed when he thought about the 100,000 taels he had sent to Lu Zhaoling.

"That's good, my brother..."

Zhou Shiyue was just thinking about revealing Zhu Minghao's affairs in order to teach Lu Zhaoyun a lesson, when out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of the small policy paper on the emperor's desk.

His mind flashed and he instantly thought of a possibility.

This was presented by Lu Ming, and he also received the news.

While talking to him just now, the emperor's eyes would occasionally fall on the solitary copy. This was -

Like it very much.

If he likes it so much, he should reward Lu Ming, right? In addition to Lu Anrong's contribution in saving so many people in the academy, this time, the Lu family may indeed have some luck.

Lu Ming will probably be promoted as he has made great progress in front of the emperor.

So......

Shouldn't he wait until Lu Zhaoyun and the second prince's engagement is confirmed before attacking Lu Zhaoyun?

"I heard that Lu Ming donated a unique copy, which was originally in his hands. I wonder if the children of the Lu family have read it carefully? So Lu Anrong is quite famous in the academy." Zhou Shiyue said.

The emperor was a little surprised, "That's possible."

So, maybe Lu Anrong is a talented person who can be an official?
