The Queen Mother showed no surprise when she saw that Shen Yan was going to receive thirty strokes of the cane. For a moment, she didn't know how to teach Prince Shen a lesson. She was furious and turned away with a flick of her sleeves, leaving all the ministers in the hall looking at each other in bewilderment.
The head eunuch on the side was also stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly shouted loudly to leave the court.
As everyone was walking out, Lu Wan quietly stopped a eunuch and asked in a low voice, "Eunuch, why hasn't His Majesty shown up at court recently? I wonder what happened?"
As he spoke, Lu Wan stuffed a silver ingot into the eunuch's hand.
The young eunuch took the silver, and his impatient expression immediately turned into an extremely enthusiastic one. "Lord Lu really cares about His Majesty, but His Majesty seems to be in a bad mood these days, so he didn't come to court."
Lu Wan was stunned, "Your Majesty is not sick?"
But if he hadn't been sick, the little emperor had been confident enough to say that he wanted to fight for power with the empress dowager. How come only a few days later, he didn't even show up for court?
This is really not in line with the little emperor's character.
The young eunuch was startled by these words. He looked around and saw that no one noticed them. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lu Wan, who seemed to be detached from the matter. He said helplessly, "My Lord Lu! How dare you say such a thing so loudly? If you are caught, it will be fatal."
Fortunately, no one heard it, otherwise Lord Lu would have been punished, and I would have been unjustly beaten for no reason.
Lu Wan also realized his gaffe, and quickly apologized, then frowned and thought.
When Shen Yan and Lu Changxin came over, they saw Lu Wan standing there with a frown on his face, looking confused.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Yan thought something had happened and asked subconsciously.
After Lu Wan glanced at Shen Yan, he spoke out his doubts without any defense, "Didn't you notice that His Majesty hasn't come to court for several days?"
Feeling Lu Wan's puzzled look, her brother Lu Changxin spread his hands and said, "I don't know the answer to this question even if you ask me. Since I returned to the capital, I have only been attending court a few times."
Lu Wan, "..."
No one else except Lu Changxin is so open about being lazy and stealing.
Listening to the conversation between Lu Wan and his sister, Shen Yan was silent for a moment, then said, "If you want to know what happened to the little emperor, why don't you go and see for yourself?"
"yes!"
Lu Wan slapped his head suddenly. Why didn’t he think of such a simple method?
Seeing Lu Wan about to take action, Lu Changxin suddenly stepped forward to stop her. Lu Wan looked at him puzzledly and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Changxin just smiled, "Your Majesty, there shouldn't be anything serious, otherwise that old fellow Xue Xiang would be restless. You won't be able to see His Majesty right now, but we have more important things to do."
