Chapter 115 General Qi Yu returns to Beijing
Song Junhe looked at the two people in the crowd with a headache.
He had some doubts last time, but this time he was certain that these two had come to join in the fun again, and the emperor must have been behind it.
He was a little confused and didn't understand whether his father hoped that something bad would happen to these two people or wanted to make sure that nothing happened to them.
Lu Xinran's attention was all on the system at this time. She found that all the big melons in the Rong Enbo Mansion had been eaten. Some of this family members died, some were exiled, so why had her life value not been settled yet?
"Tongzi, are you still not going to settle my life points? This story is so complicated, just like a TV drama. Not giving me a few months of life points is unreasonable. How can you keep not settling my life points?"
She hadn't eaten any other big news during this period of time, and she was starting to get anxious as she watched her health points decrease every day.
The system was also a little anxious. Not settling the health points would not do it any good. It was more anxious than the host.
"Don't worry, I'll take a look at what's wrong."
"Hold on tight! Song Junyan needs to recuperate. He probably won't be able to work in Shuntian Prefecture for the next one or two months. He won't be involved in any of the cases there. It's too difficult to sustain your health just by eating melons."
The system whimpers, "I don't want to split"
Lu Xinran: “…”
That's what she thought!
It was approaching three quarters after noon, and the crowd began to become increasingly agitated.
On the execution platform, Zhao Kaile was already on the platform.
He lowered his head and looked around the crowd in panic, hoping that a miracle would happen.
But Tao had already committed suicide by taking poison, Zhao Jingtian and Zhao Kaiyan were imprisoned in the Dali Temple dungeon, and the Rong Enbo Mansion had completely collapsed. No matter how much he hoped, no one would come to save him.
Yuncheng stood in the crowd, looking at Zhao Kaile on the stage with tears in his eyes.
"Dad, sister, the Rong Enbo Mansion has finally collapsed. All members of the Zhao family will be buried with you. Rest in peace."
At three quarters after noon, the executioner spat a mouthful of strong liquor onto the long sword.
Lu Xinran looked at the sword held high, and immediately turned his head away in fear.
Then, they saw a flash of silver light quickly piercing towards the two of them.
She almost subconsciously pulled Lu Xinlan back immediately, and the people behind them quickly rushed in front of them and blocked the dagger.
There was another commotion among the crowd, and the servants of the Lu residence protected them as they squeezed through the crowd and walked out.
They no longer had time to care whether anyone's head fell off the execution ground.
Before getting on the carriage, Lu Xinran did not forget to take another look at the crowd.
"Sister, do you think that man looks like Prince Yu?"
Could it be that he is the one bringing people to harm them again?
Lu Xinlan didn't look back, but pushed her into the carriage, then quickly jumped up and urged the driver to leave quickly.
It was not until she returned to Lu's mansion that she said, "The assassin was probably not sent by Prince Yu. If he really wanted to attack us, he wouldn't have to show up in person."
On the contrary, she had a vague feeling that the people protecting them were sent by Prince Yu.
Lu Xinran felt very strange and was about to reply questioningly when he suddenly heard the excited voice of the system in his mind.
"Host, I found out! It hasn't been settled yet because the program has determined that this matter has not been completely concluded. I have a feeling that we will be able to gain a lot of life points this time."
The overly excited system directly drew away all of Lu Xinran's attention.
Lu Xinlan signaled Cuizhu and Cuixi to take her back to the courtyard, and she went to Pei's courtyard.
"It should be that His Majesty has entrusted the task of protecting you to Prince Yu. That's good. I can rest assured when you go out in the future."
She had a vague idea of the emperor's intention, but it was a bit too much for him to put them in danger time and time again.
In the palace, the emperor looked at his second son, Prince of Chu, Song Junsheng.
Good, I caught another one.
As expected, his six adult sons all began to have their own little thoughts.
Pei, who guessed the emperor's thoughts, immediately arranged for people to arrive near the palace gate, and received the news that the second prince had entered the palace at sunset.
"You should have another team protecting you secretly."
Although Pei said this, there was no sense of relief in her tone.
"Xinran is a very lucky person. Even if no one protects her, nothing will happen to her."
During that thrilling moment last time, they all suffered injuries to varying degrees. Song Junyan, who was a prince, became her flesh pad, and she only had the slightest scratches on her body.
The princes' luck is not as good as his. Even if they encounter an accident in the future, she will not be the one to be injured.
Pei thought of Song Junyan who was still recuperating in the palace, and inexplicably felt that there was some strange truth in these words.
Ten days later, Zhao Jingtian and a group of people from the Rong En Marquis's mansion were handcuffed and chained and set off on the road of exile to Lingnan.
Yun Cheng deliberately rushed to the outside of the city and waited for Zhao Jingtian at the place they had to pass, and threw a basket of rotten eggs on him.
"Host, let's settle it, forget it! One year, we have a full year's worth of life."
The system was so excited that the shouting began to go out of tune.
Lu Xinran was stunned for a moment before realizing what one year meant.
"Are you going to upgrade?"
"Yes, once I upgrade, the distance between us and the melon can be 20 steps."
Twenty steps, so next time she goes to Yizhuang, doesn't she need to enter the courtyard?
It is more convenient to eat melons from such a long distance.
Lu Xinran was delighted, "Is there no other benefit?"
"The next upgrade will be in five years, and there will probably be new features by then."
The system felt guilty that it didn't even know its own functions, and its answer was not disappointing to Lu Xinran.
Her experiences in her previous life made her a contented person.
"How long will it take you to upgrade?"
"How long? I've finished the upgrade. It's just like the game you played in your previous life. Once the progress bar is full, you will automatically upgrade. It doesn't take any extra time."
Lu Xinran walked happily into the yard, measuring how far twenty steps were.
"It's enough for a whole year. We should go to the street to eat some melons to celebrate such a wonderful thing~"
The system was laughing, and everyone was imagining a bright future when Cuizhu ran in quickly, followed by Lu Xinlan and two maids.
"Girl, the older girl is here."
Lu Xinran ran over happily, counting the steps in his mind as he ran.
[Twenty steps is about ten meters. I don’t know if it can be increased to fifty steps in the next upgrade.]
Fifty steps, thirty or forty meters, she can finish eating the melon while sitting in the teahouse.
The more she thought about it, the more beautiful it seemed. It was not until she welcomed the person into the house that she asked out of curiosity.
"What brings my sister here?"
"Can't I come sit here for a while if I have nothing to do?"
Lu Xinlan replied with a smile, and seeing her eyes full of joy, he stopped teasing her, "I just heard a piece of news that General Qi, who was guarding the northwest, has returned to Beijing.
"The night after tomorrow, His Majesty will hold a banquet in the palace to celebrate the great victory of the Qi family army. All officials above the fifth rank in the capital must bring their families to attend."
Lu Xinran stood up instantly and excitedly pulled Lu Xinlan's hand: "General Qi Yu? He returned to Beijing?"
[Will I be able to see the general who never married for the sake of the queen the day after tomorrow night? ]
