That's really... not a single repeated word in an hour!
Why didn’t I realize that Lu Wan had this side before?
Just a housekeeper...
Chen Yan glanced at the housekeeper and ordered calmly, "No need to check. Send a few guards to guard Miss Lu's place. No outsiders are allowed in, including Concubine Lu."
The butler nodded in agreement, secretly breathing a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, he had sent people to guard the place earlier, otherwise he would not be able to bear the consequences if the prince blamed him.
"in addition--"
Stopping the housekeeper who was about to leave, Chen Yan ordered, "Pass on my order. Concubine Lu has acted beyond her rights. She will be punished by confinement for three months."
Although the order just now was within the housekeeper's expectations, the matter of punishing Lu Baixue really stirred up a storm in his heart.
No matter what happened in the past, he had never seen the prince touch Concubine Lu's little finger, let alone put her under house arrest.
No matter how surprised he was, the butler didn't say a word and went to do his job as he was told. But he was muttering in his heart that things might change in Prince Shen's Mansion.
Chen Yan looked back at Lu Wan's closed door, knowing that she was still asleep, and couldn't help but show a bit of guilt on his face.
She must have been terrified when she saw Lu Baixue ordering people to drag her away.
The maid filled a hot water bottle and was about to put Lu Wan under the quilt to warm her up. But when she opened the curtain, she saw Lu Wan with a pair of big grape-like eyes wide open, without a trace of sleepiness in them.
Shocked by the scene in front of her, the maid hurriedly said with a smile, "My lord, you are awake. Do you want me to serve you dinner? The prince just personally ordered us to prepare dinner for you when you wake up."
Lu Wan was not awake, but she did not sleep at all, or rather, she only slept for a short while.
When the guard pushed the door and asked Chen Yan if he wanted to eat, she had already woken up. After all, it would be strange for her to fall asleep in such an uncomfortable position.
Afraid that Chen Yan would urge him to grind ink for him again, he pretended to be unconscious.
This body of mine is only sixteen years old. If it were in the 21st century, King Shen would be employing child labor. No matter how powerful he is, he would still be sent to jail.
Originally, she thought she would be scolded by Chen Yan, but she didn't expect Chen Yan to carefully bring her directly to the bedroom, and even use the princess hug posture.
Ahhhhhhh! ! !
Lu Wan rolled around in the bed, luckily her face was blocked by Chen Yan's cloak, otherwise with so many people on the road, would she still be able to live as a human being in the future?
If Lu Wan was lazy and didn't want to open her eyes before, later on, she simply didn't dare to open her eyes.
Firstly, it would be awkward to look into Shen Yan's eyes, and secondly, I would inevitably think of what Shen Yan said when he drank the poisoned wine for me.
She was afraid that she would be tempted if she took one look at Shen Yan.
People are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless? What's more, Chen Yan is strong and handsome, and he is rare and considerate to himself, and he is willing to risk his life for himself.
Although Lu Wanwan devoted her entire life to scientific research, at that moment, her heart couldn't help but beat a few times.
It was that involuntary heartbeat that made Lu Wan feel that she should stay away from him.
She can and is willing to help Shen Yan solve those difficult problems, but she cannot like him.
Even if there was no Lu Baixue between them, there was still the beautiful girls in the yard.
Lu Wan's pride prevents her from sharing a man with other women. If she must do so, she might as well withdraw while she is not too deeply involved.
After the maid finished speaking, she saw that Lu Wan hadn't responded for a long time, so she couldn't help but look at her in confusion, "Master Lu?"
Lu Wan came back to his senses and nodded to the maid, "Bring up all the hot food."
When she heard about food, she actually felt a little hungry.
The maid smiled and went down to prepare.
But when the food was served, Lu Wan only ate two bites quickly. She was worried about going to court tomorrow.
She and Shen Yan teamed up with the little emperor to trick the empress dowager. Given the empress dowager's temper, she would naturally not let it go.
But no matter how worried Lu Wan was, the sun still rose as usual the next day.
Standing in the majestic and grand Golden Throne Hall, Lu Wan dozed off quietly because she did not get enough sleep. However, the half-asleep state did not prevent her from feeling the tense atmosphere in the hall.
Shen Yan submitted a memorial yesterday, requesting that Lu Changxin be promoted to the rank of second-class general. Logically speaking, after such a great victory, the reward is inevitable, but everyone in the court knows that Lu Changxin is Shen Yan's man.
Giving Lu Changxin a higher rank at this time is like giving the tiger Shen Yan a pair of wings. With time, he will be even more difficult to suppress.
"Regarding the title, although I think General Lu has done a great job, he is still young and has plenty of opportunities to make meritorious contributions. If he is given a title now, his title will be higher than most generals in the court. They have fought for Nanxia all their lives, and they can't let a junior suppress them, right?"
The voice came from behind the bead curtain beside the dragon throne. The sound of suppressed anger easily made people realize that its owner was on the verge of a rage.
After she finished speaking, she asked the little emperor, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
The little emperor was embarrassed when asked, and he looked behind the curtain fearfully. Although he couldn't see the empress dowager's face clearly, he seemed to be frightened and stammered, "I think... I think what the Empress Dowager said is right."
The Queen Mother retreated to advance, and ordinary ministers would naturally know when to stop, but it was even more obvious that Shen Yan was not an ordinary minister.
As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, Shen Yan stood up and bowed to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, I have something to say. Although I have to take care of my face, General Lu's achievements were earned by fighting to the death. If Your Majesty does not reward him for his merits, which general will be willing to fight for you on the battlefield in the future?"
His words were so decisive that no one could find any fault with them. Even Lu Wan, who was standing at the back, couldn't help but nod secretly.
As expected of the person who can finally sit on the throne, his scheming and courage are all one in a million. Although the Queen Mother is full of tricks, it seems that she is still no match for Shen Yan, the dog prince.
But if the Queen Mother is pushed too hard, she will inevitably do something desperate, and the result will be more harm than good.
Shen Yan, who was about to continue speaking, had already opened his mouth, but he didn't know what he heard, so he lowered his head again, and glanced lightly at the last row of civil servants. As expected, he saw a companion who was nodding secretly.
The emperor saw that Shen Yan was silent, so he thought he was angry and hurried to comfort him, "I think what Prince Shen said makes sense--"
Before he finished speaking, a rebuke came from behind the beaded curtain, "Emperor, an emperor should behave like an emperor. How can you be easily led astray by the words and deeds of your subjects?"
