Chapter 93 I am not a member of the palace

Feng Zhi lowered his head and didn't intend to answer this question.

Seeing that the two of them were not going to say anything, Lu Heyu simply stopped asking.

After everyone finished their meal and the waiter cleared the plates and served tea, he took out a booklet and handed it to Su Nuobai.

Su Nuobai took the booklet from his hand, which contained the birth dates of women, all of whom were daughters of officials in Shengjing.

She looked at him puzzledly: "What do you mean?"

Lu Heyu started to make tea: "His Majesty asked you to help look up the concubine's birth date and horoscope."

Su Nuobai glanced casually and saw his own name.

But if you think about it, you will know that she is now Doctor Su's concubine's daughter. Her older sisters are either married or dead, and she is the only one of marriageable age.

The ones below are either young or have various problems.

She tapped her fingers on the table. "Does it include the queen?"

Lu Heyu shook his head: "Your Majesty does not intend to appoint a queen."

Su Nuobai was a little stunned and opened the list in the booklet to read it.

She is not destined to be an emperor or empress. Being an emperor or empress represents the fate of a country. Once she is contaminated, she will be bound to the country by cause and effect.

Pushing the booklet in front of Lu Heyu, he said, "I am not considered a member of the palace."

Lu Heyu has also recently taken time to read some books on metaphysics and Taoism. He has discussed this with Taoist Master Luo Zhen and found that it is not the order of the emperor or empress.

He took the booklet back and said, "You're making it difficult for me to return to the palace to report."

Su Nuobai looked at Lu Heyu: "Whether he chooses someone or not depends entirely on his taste."

Lu Heyu actually laughed: "If this gets back, I'm afraid he'll have a headache too."

Su Nuobai just smiled and didn't intend to explain.

After eating and drinking her fill, she didn't plan to set up a stall today and was going back to the Su Mansion to check on the situation.

Judging from the time, Su Deyi and the others should have received the news of Su Yiyao's death.

Lu Heyu looked at her and asked, "The person who took Su Yiyao and Cai Mingyue away was the same person?"

Su Nuobai nodded. "They were tortured before they died, and their resentment was overwhelming. People with weak mental qualities should not watch this."

Feng Zhi was a little surprised and turned to look at her: "Is it scary?"

Su Nuobai thought for a moment: "Cai Mingyue's entire skin was peeled off alive and made into a human skin lantern. Su Yiyao is much more miserable than her."

Lu Heyu raised his eyebrows: "Even worse off than her?"

"Su Yiyao has a penchant for torturing and killing animals. She has killed hundreds, if not thousands, of animals, each one suffering a horrific death."

"Those animals didn't leave after they died and wanted to seek revenge on her, so I helped them. I didn't expect this person to use my rebound charm to cause her a lot of torture."

"She should have been dead, but someone locked her soul in her body and tortured her for a long time, allowing her to be resentful and kill her again."

Lu Heyu frowned: "Is this bad for you?"

Su Nuobai shrugged: "The rebound talisman is for anti-harm. She hurt others first, and the punishment she received has nothing to do with me."

Lu Heyu felt relieved. If she was involved in a death, it would be harmful to her and would not benefit her in any way.

"You don't have to worry about the village's affairs. I have already arranged for someone to go there."

Su Nuobai nodded: "If nothing happens, I'll go back and rest. I'm tired after a full meal."

After she finished speaking, she yawned in a very ungraceful manner.

Lu Heyu nodded, and after she left, he picked up the list on the table and went into the palace.

But before that, he asked Xingyun to find out what the gossip Feng Zhi was talking about was.

By the time he finished listening, he also understood where that part was.

What made him curious was why Prince Qing'an was so unlucky?

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.

Lu Heyu placed the list respectfully on the dragon table, then retreated three steps and stood still.

Xi Jinyou looked at the booklet on the table and asked, "Is it finished so soon?"

Lu Heyu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the people from the Gui tribe said that those who are close to Your Majesty do not count."

Xi Jinyou put down the brush in his hand: "What do you mean?"

Lu Heyu stood up and looked him in the eye. "The emperor's fate is related to the fate of the country. The people around you are related to the fate of the country. Calculating for them is equivalent to participating in the fate of the country."

Xi Jinyou frowned, "In the past, there were even national masters who calculated the nation's destiny. Why is it that they have so many problems now?"

Lu Heyu: "Without some ability, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to be the national teacher and bear the consequences of the country."

Xi Jinyou opened the list and looked at the name that he had repeated in his mind countless times. How could the cause and effect of a country be so easy to bear?

Even if she is willing, I can't bear to do it.

He sighed and said, "If that's the case, then just let it be!"

Lu Heyu thought for a moment and said, "Master Xiao Su said that Your Majesty should just follow your own taste and not worry about family status."

Xi Jinyou smiled bitterly in his heart.

Lu Heyu looked at him and said, "Your Majesty, when you sit in this position, you often have no control over your own actions."

"I know it very well, but I always want to fight for it again." Xi Jinyou felt tired as he looked at his friend of many years.

Lu Heyu: "She is different now. Putting aside whether she is willing or not, even if she is the same as before, can you protect her well once she enters this palace?"

How could Xi Jinyou not know this, so he kept putting it off, thinking that if he tried a little harder, he would definitely be able to protect her.

But this road is too difficult and too tiring to walk, and he is unwilling to let her accompany him on this adventure.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lu Heyu just bowed silently and walked out.

…

When Su Nuobai returned to the Su Mansion, it was in chaos.

Su Deyi, Cai and Su Jingye had already left with the people from the yamen.

No one in the mansion knew what had happened. They only knew that after the bailiffs arrived, Cai fainted.

She woke up crying her heart out, and regardless of whether she was still sick, she forced herself to go out with Su Deyi.

At this time, Nanny Wei came over and said, "Seventh Miss, Butler Mu is here."

Su Nuobai was drawing a talisman in his hand: "I understand."

She put away the talisman and went to the small hall to meet Butler Mu.

Butler Mu saw her come in and quickly stood up and saluted: "Seventh Miss."

"Butler Mu, please sit down." Su Nuobai asked him to sit down after he sat down.

After thanking him, Butler Mu only half-sat down on the chair and said, "Seventh Miss, someone just came from the government office and said that the Fourth Miss has died, and asked the Master and the Madam to identify the body."

Su Nuobai was a little surprised: "Dead?"

Butler Mu nodded. "The yamen runners didn't specify the specifics, but just said that it seemed like they encountered bandits committing a crime."

Su Nuobai's face was filled with sorrow. "Father and Mother will be very sad. Butler Mu must help prepare for Fourth Sister's funeral."

Butler Mu nodded and said, "I will prepare it right away. I won't disturb Miss Seven's rest."

Su Nuobai asked Feng Zhi to send Butler Mu away, and then several little paper figures came in.

Even if Butler Mu didn't come, she knew what happened in the mansion.
