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

Zhou Shiyue returned to the palace.

As soon as he got off the carriage, his eyes flashed and he turned to look at the shadow of a tree not far away.

"get out."

Qinglin and others drew their swords and pointed them at that direction.

A man stepped out timidly from the shadows.

When they came under the light of the palace's lanterns, everyone could see him clearly.

"The second young master of the Lu family?" Qing Feng was stunned.

Lu Anfan?

But now Lu Anfan looks really embarrassed.

He was only wearing a shirt with torn sleeves, and his pants were stained with grass and moss.

His face was slightly swollen and his mouth was pale.

"Brother-in-law..."

Zhou Shiyue's voice was stuck in his throat for a moment.

Lu Anfan called him again.

"Brother-in-law."

"Why are you here?" Zhou Shiyue finally spoke.

Lu Anfan gritted his teeth. He couldn't cry anymore.

When he was about to go back to the academy in the afternoon, he realized that he was penniless, had no carriage or horse, and if he wanted to walk to the academy, he would probably not be able to reach it until the evening.

Moreover, he remembered that the academy was temporarily closed recently because the place they lived in needed to be renovated due to a previous fire.

So, he couldn't go back to the academy.

Another point is that he has no money left. The Lu family will definitely say that the tuition was paid by them. If he has ambitions, he should not continue studying.

Learning martial arts also costs some money, and he can't afford it now.

Lu Zhaoling was not there either, and no one knew where she had gone.

In his current state, he couldn't afford to lose face and go look for other classmates, let alone walk on the street.

When curfew came, Lu Anfan realized that the capital was so big that there was no place for him to stay.

In the end, he didn't know how he thought of Prince Jin's Mansion.

This is his brother-in-law's house, he should be able to come, right?

Zhou Shiyue glanced at him and turned to walk in.

"come in."

Lu Anfan breathed a sigh of relief.

He followed him in and walked behind Zhou Shiyue. Suddenly, his stomach growled.

"Take him and clean him up."

Zhou Shiyue didn't even turn his head.

"Yes."

Qinglin took Lu Anfan to the guest house.

"Who is this?" Yun Bo saw him but didn't recognize him at first.

"The second son of the Lu family."

Lu Anfan was silent for a moment, then corrected him, "Just call me Lu Anfan. I'm still young and I only have one sister. I'm not the second young master."

Qinglin looked at him, "You only have one sister?"

"Yes, the prince is my brother-in-law."

So, there is no need to ask who his sister is, right?

"Oh, kid, how did you get into this state? Come on, I'll find you some clothes, wash and change into them."

Yun Bo felt friendly when he heard it. Doesn’t that mean they are a family?

He had the demeanor of a majestic steward of the palace just now, but now he instantly turned into a kind and enthusiastic old man.

He waved his hand and told Qinglin to go on with his work.

Qinglin said, "This child probably didn't have dinner."

Yun Bo felt distressed, "I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some food."

"This is the butler, you can call him Uncle Yun. When you have packed up, someone will take you to see the prince." Qinglin gave instructions and left.

Lu Anfan sniffed lightly.

He didn't feel like crying when he was waiting outside just now, but now his eyes are a little tearful.

The eunuch Tan also entered the palace at this time.

Zhou Shiyue was already rocking leisurely in the rocking chair, with a book covering his face.

Anonymous Hu Yunji.

This kind of book is obviously compiled by unknown literati and ruffians. It is full of nonsense and it is obvious that it is nonsense.

Eunuch Tan took a look at the book.

The Emperor should like Prince Jin to read books like this the most.

"Little Tanzi has met the prince."

Zhou Shiyue slowly took the book down and sat up.

"Eunuch Tan? It's so late, what's the matter?"

Qing Feng next to him: Your Majesty is getting more and more pretentious.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor invites you to the palace."

"Now?" Zhou Shiyue was surprised, "My brother has a dragon body..."

Oh, my Lord, don't guess! Eunuch Tan said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, I wish you good health. I wish you good health."

If we are not careful, Prince Jin might say that the emperor is in poor health.

"What news did the Empress Dowager send back to the capital? That's not right. She shouldn't have arrived at Ciyu Temple yet, right? Halfway..." Zhou Shiyue was surprised again.

"Have a safe journey, Queen Mother. Your Majesty, it's about the Second Prince and the Lu family." Eunuch Tan spoke quickly.

Zhou Shiyue lay down again.

"What does their business have to do with me?"

"Your Highness, the Emperor is furious and has summoned you to the palace. I guess he has something to discuss with you?" Eunuch Qin wanted to help him up.

Is this person so difficult to invite? Please don't make it difficult for him.

Eunuch Tan's eyes rolled, and he suddenly thought of something, "Your Majesty, I have a piece of news, but I don't know if I should tell you."

"You don't have to tell me."

"It's related to Miss Lu Zhaoling, the second one."

"Ok?"

Seeing that there was a way out, Eunuch Tan quickly stepped forward, bowed, and lowered his voice, "When the concubine and the emperor were arguing, she mentioned the second young lady and said that since the Lu family had made a mistake with the eldest daughter, they should correct it."

Change it?

Zhou Shiyue immediately sneered.

How are they going to change it?

"The last time I went to the Lu family to pass on the imperial edict, it was me who went. At that time, I followed the prince's instructions and told the second young lady that she was exempted from the ceremony of kneeling..."

Eunuch Qin seized the opportunity to claim some small credit.

This time, Zhou Shiyue looked at him straight in the eye.

"You went there."

Could the King of Jin have forgotten this? Definitely not.

This means not to embarrass him.

"It was me. The Second Miss even chatted with me for a while at that time." Eunuch Qin smiled with great honor.

Second Miss Lu doesn't hate servants.

"Let's go. I will go to the palace."

Only then did Zhou Shiyue stand up.

Entering the palace at this time is a big deal.

The palace gates were already closed, and even if Eunuch Qin had received the emperor's order and had the right cards, he still had to go through several checkpoints.

Originally, we could just go in like this, but this person wanted to take a sedan chair.

He was sitting there leisurely, and whenever the Royal Guards stopped him for inspection, he would say naturally, "I heard that the Second Prince made a mistake, so I came to see if my nephew was beaten by my brother."

Enter a level and say it again.

In the middle of the night, they actually spread the news that the Second Prince was beaten into a pig's head by the Emperor.

Eunuch Qin walked in front, his clothes wet with sweat.

He didn't even know why the emperor summoned Prince Jin into the palace now. What would happen tomorrow?

The emperor will definitely regret it.

The imperial study is brightly lit at this moment.

There were many palace maids and nannies kneeling outside. Zhou Shiyue looked and wondered why there was a man there.

"Tan Liang?" He recognized him.

Doctor Tan knelt down so hard that he began to doubt his life.

He must have had bad luck recently!

"Greetings, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin." Tan Liang knelt and turned in another direction.

"What are you kneeling for?" Zhou Shiyue did not ignore the fact that he was pressing his knees while turning, with a look of forbearance on his face.

Tan Liang didn't know how to answer for a moment. Of course, it was Concubine Shu who asked him to be here.

"Get up. I am going to get off the sedan chair. You come and support me." Zhou Shiyue said.
