Prime Minister Lu thought about it, then walked to the pavilion and sat down.

Before he could open his mouth, he heard his daughter's worried question: "Dad, I heard rumors that Chen Wei seemed to have offended the emperor."

"Did you go to the palace today for this matter?"

Prime Minister Lu's impression of Chen Wei was not good at first, but it improved later.

The first time he heard about Chen Wei was from his daughter. She often praised Chen Wei for being so brave, which was completely different from the rumors outside. At that time, Prime Minister Lu did not take it seriously.

What really made him notice her was that Chen Wei led everyone in the martial arts hall to provide porridge and treat the weak.

And the last time he calmed the people's fear without making a fuss.

But just now in the palace, Prime Minister Lu truly realized that she was indeed a special and brave woman. Once he met her, he would never forget her fearless temperament.

Prime Minister Lu had seen many women, but in the face of imperial power, only Chen Wei stood up straight and even dared to look directly at the emperor.

The unyielding expression in her brows made Lu Xiangguo confused and surprised.

What's more, he couldn't help but wonder what kind of family Chen Wei lived in to develop such a fearless demeanor?

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangguo sighed softly and said to his daughter:

"The Emperor summoned Chen Wei to the palace, intending to send him and the apprentices from the martial arts school to the Xiongnu."

"This has already been decided. Zhao Chenwei was just asking for permission as a formality."

"But Chen Wei dared to contradict him in front of the emperor. In a rage, the emperor imprisoned Chen Wei and another woman who was traveling with her in the Dali Temple."

When Miss Lu heard the truth from her father, her face suddenly changed.

But she quickly realized, "How could he have noticed the martial arts gym? The Emperor is so busy with all sorts of things, it's impossible that he noticed it just because of the disaster relief."

"Even if they noticed, how could they have just decided to sacrifice them?"

Prime Minister Lu looked at his daughter with admiration and said:

"Yes, someone brought it up."

"Then, the ministers in the court all tacitly pushed for the martial arts school to be promoted. Firstly, they were afraid that if the selection was conducted from the public, it would cause excessive public outrage. Secondly, they were worried that as ministers, they had to set an example."

Miss Lu felt angry, but also helpless.

She knew all too well about these things happening in the court, which was why she felt powerless and even felt a hint of despair in her heart.

"Chen Wei, no matter what choice you make this time, it will be useless."

"She can either remain imprisoned in the Dali Temple, or she can actively admit her mistakes and make amends to persuade the female students in the martial arts school to willingly retreat to the northern border and be sent to serve the Xiongnu..."

"No matter what choice you make, it will be the worst outcome."

But why should they bear the consequences?

Miss Lu felt sad.

At this time.

The housekeeper of the Lu Mansion came in from outside, glanced at the Prime Minister secretly, and then said to Miss Lu: "Miss, the clerk of the longevity cake shop is outside and wants to see you."

Miss Lu immediately thought of Zhao Xiangrong and stood up immediately.

Prime Minister Lu, who was sitting next to her, raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Miss Lu for half a second. An unclear emotion flashed in his eyes, but in the end he did not say anything to stop her.

Miss Lu hurried to the side hall. As soon as she entered the hospital, she saw Zhao Xiangrong at the door, who appeared calm on the outside but was anxious inside.

Zhao Xiangrong stood up suddenly and said awkwardly:

"Ms. Lu, I know I shouldn't bother you right now."
