When Lu Wan heard this question, he knew that his actions just now had aroused the Queen Mother's suspicion, and hurriedly explained, "I am not a worm in the Regent's stomach. I only need to see that the Regent has been involved in state affairs for these years and has been conscientious in government affairs and has never dared to make the slightest mistake. I know that the Regent has no intention of disobeying me."
This is not to say that Lu Wan is lying with a shameless face. Regardless of the original history or the history that was changed because of Lu Wan's arrival, Shen Yan did a lot of good things for the people during his tenure as regent. It was precisely because he was too upright and selfless that many officials privately said some things that distorted right and wrong and ruined Shen Yan's reputation.
Before coming to Nanxia, Lu Wan had once thought about why Shen Yan, such a capable person, did not even say a word to defend himself when he was in disgrace.
After hearing what Lu Wan said, the Queen Mother just sneered.
If she could believe these words, she would be a three-year-old child.
"You get up first."
Looking at Lu Wan kneeling on the ground, the empress dowager, who had just looked as cold as the coldest days of winter, suddenly became cheerful again.
Lu Wan stood up carefully and asked, "What about the regent——"
The Queen Mother smiled slightly, "The Regent has done a great job on this trip. When this matter is settled in the future, I will naturally reward you according to your merits."
Lu Wan finally felt relieved and returned to his seat.
Song Ping seemed unwilling to give in. He bowed to the Queen Mother again, "Queen Mother, Chen Yan is not someone who is willing to be inferior to others——"
Before he could finish his words, the Queen Mother interrupted him, "I already know the truth about this matter, my dear minister, there is no need to say more."
Song Ping seemed dissatisfied with the result and was about to say something else when she saw the empress dowager giving her a look.
No matter how unwilling she was, Song Ping had no choice but to stand back.
When the court session was over and all the ministers were heading out of the palace, a young eunuch suddenly came forward, blocked Song Ping's way, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Song Ping's eyes flashed, and then she nodded.
Lu Wan naturally followed the others and walked out, but she was also keeping an eye on Song Ping's every move. When she saw the familiar-looking little eunuch, a hint of doubt flashed across Lu Wan's eyes.
Soon, Song Ping followed the young eunuch and left. Although Lu Wan wanted to follow and take a look, this was the imperial palace and if he was not careful he would be committing a capital crime.
There was no other way, Lu Wan could only leave first and then try to find out who Song Ping was going to meet.
Lu Wan was full of suspicions, but she didn't expect that after she left the Golden Palace, a little tail soon followed her.
"Why, Lord Lu is walking so slowly, is he waiting for me?"
Lu Wan was startled by the sudden voice behind him. When he turned around hastily, he saw Song Ping standing behind him with her arms folded.
