After leaving the Princess's Mansion, Lu Zheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Princess Shanyang is lying."

"Why do you think so?" Rong Zhen asked.

"When she talked about Mianchun, her voice rose and her hands were tightly clasped, which showed that she was nervous inside." Lu Zheng said, "Even though she tried her best to control her facial expressions, you can still see that her smile was rather stiff. When she said this, she kept looking at Uncle Nineteen. I think it's because she thinks Uncle Nineteen is the most threatening among us, so she wants to observe Uncle Nineteen's expression to determine whether her lie is successful."

Rong Zhen smiled slightly: "It seems that my reaction reassured her?"

"Just the opposite." Lu Zheng said, "When we left, Princess Shanyang did not show a relieved expression, but became more serious. This shows that she does not believe the expression you show, at least, not at this moment." Rong

Zhen thought for a while, then said: "I know, You don't need to worry about this matter anymore."

Lu Zheng's eyes widened. He said this not to exclude Rong Zhen from the case. He immediately retorted: "But this case clearly has an inside story!"

"What inside story?" Rong Zhen asked, "If it is finally proved that it was Ge Hui's wife Xian who committed the crime, what will you do? Xian is a noble family, and the concubine is a lowly person, According to the law, it is not illegal for the mistress to beat and kill the concubine. Even if it is a disturbance, at most she will be fined some silver. Xian is still innocent, but you will offend the Princess of Shanyang because of this. Isn't it necessary to make up for the loss?"

Lu Zheng argued: "But this is murder! Although the nobles enjoy special privileges, there are still ten unforgivable crimes! If the concubine did not commit a crime, the mistress killed her at will, and she must be punished according to the law!"

Rong Zhen shook his head. "It's just a nice thing to say. You have enjoyed this privilege since you were a child. I thought you wouldn't say such naive words."

Lu Zheng felt guilty. He was an ordinary civilian before and had only enjoyed this privilege for a few months. So when he heard Rong Zhen say so matter-of-factly that it was not illegal for nobles to kill people, he felt angry. He just didn't expect Rong Zhen to be so sensitive.

Rong Zhen still said calmly: "The so-called 'princes who break the law are guilty of the same crime as common people' can only be realized if the superiors say it. If you take this as a golden rule, you will only fall in the future."

Lu Zheng looked at Rong Zhen. He was not wearing the prince's clothes that showed his status, but no one dared to ignore him. Is this the power of power?

Lu Zheng felt that his three perspectives were impacted. He traveled from a society ruled by law where everyone was equal. He thought he had gradually been able to integrate into their society, but in the end, they were still fundamentally different. At least when it came to treating human life, he would never agree with them.

The two eventually parted ways unhappily.

Lu Zheng lay on the roof, looking at the sky. He was not a person who was easily frustrated, but Rong Zhen's words made him realize that he was hugely incompatible with this era. Most importantly, he had to sadly admit that he could only listen to Rong Zhen. He couldn't bear the wrath of a princess for an outcome that was destined to be fruitless. Although the Princess of Shanyang has been relatively low-key in recent years, her energy is still not small.

There was a slight sound from the tiles beside him, and Lu Zheng heard Jian Yu's voice: "What's wrong?" Lu

Zheng had long been accustomed to the ups and downs of people like them, and he just said lazily: "Nothing, I've been stuck in the house for a whole winter, so I came out to get some sun."

Jian Yu sat next to him and seemed to smile softly: "I see you're not very happy?"

"Nothing, I just feel like I'm looking for trouble!" Lu Zheng also sat up, turned to ask Jian Yu, "Do you also think I was wrong?"

Jian Yu had been listening to the conversation between Lu Zheng and Rong Zhen, but he didn't express his own thoughts. When he heard Lu Zheng ask this, he said calmly, "At the beginning, no one thought that I could become the commander of the Red Armor Guard, but I didn't think so. In the end, facts proved that I was right."

Lu Zheng heard that Jian Yu was trying to comfort him, and he sighed, "I really don't understand why human lives have to be divided into noble and humble, everyone is raised by their parents! Why are we all the same, but we have to divide ourselves into different levels?"

Jian Yu heard that Lu Zheng was not asking him, he was just venting his frustration.

The more Lu Zheng thought about it, the more depressed he became: "I really can't understand why Princess Shanyang is so nervous about this matter. Could it be that Xian really killed the person? But that's not right. If it was the daughter-in-law who killed her son's favorite concubine, why would the mother-in-law blame her son? This doesn't make sense!" He had a wild idea, "Could it be that Xian is the son of Princess Shanyang, and Ge Hui is actually born to someone else?"

Jian Yu was amazed by his imagination: "The royal bloodline cannot be confused. Every clan has its own bloodline. Whenever a child is born to a clan, someone from the clan would record the mother’s pregnancy period and the child’s birth date. The number of people involved is so huge that it is absolutely impossible to falsify the information, unless…”

In fact, Lu Zheng knew he was wrong the moment he said this. He was also confused and took the TV show seriously. But Jian Yu actually explained it to him so seriously instead of looking at him with a caring expression for a mentally retarded person. So he didn’t feel so embarrassed. Noticing that Jian Yu paused, he couldn’t help but ask, “Unless what?”

“Nothing.” Jian Yu shook his head.

Lu Zheng didn't care. After he finished talking, he felt much better. He said to Jian Yu, "Thank you for your comfort. Actually, I was just being too picky."

But Jian Yu said seriously, "I'm not comforting you. The more people there are, the more correct it is. If you still can't let it go, I can accompany you to secretly investigate the news."

Lu Zheng shook his head, "I will go and investigate, but not now. If Princess Shanyang is really so nervous about this matter, she will definitely send someone to follow us. Anyway, this case has been going on for so long, it doesn't hurt to wait a little longer."

Jian Yu looked at Lu Zheng, who was smiling brightly in the sun, and felt as if his heart was slowly filled with something warm. He also curled the corners of his mouth.

"By the way, why are you here?" Lu Zheng asked, "Isn't the Three Departments' Trial coming up soon? I heard that you, the Red Armor Guard, are in charge of this defense, so shouldn't you be very busy?"

Jian Yu shook his head, "I have arranged everything that needs to be arranged, but now there is another big thing happening in Yanjing, so I'm afraid not many people are paying attention to this."

"What's the matter?" Lu Zheng asked curiously.

"The envoys from the Jie people's imperial court have arrived, and the sixth prince of the Jie people will arrive in Yanjing soon."

The Jie people and the Great Xia Dynasty have been at war for many years, and it can be said that they have been enemies for generations. However, for the people of Yanjing, it is more interesting to watch these envoys who are completely different from the Central Plains people rather than caring about a war that has nothing to do with them.

The Jie people have fair skin, high noses and deep eyes, their hair is mostly brown and red, and their eyes are mostly blue and green, which is completely different from the appearance of the people in the Central Plains. There are also many noble families in the Central Plains whose ancestors have Hu blood, such as Jian Yu's mother's family Gao family, as well as the Murong family and the Lan family. However, after many years of intermarriage, their Hu characteristics have almost disappeared, so when they see the Jie people, they will make the people of Yanjing so curious. When the delegation entered Beijing, the onlookers almost blocked the streets.

Emperor Yongning hosted a banquet for the delegation, and Lu Zheng also followed his father and brother to the banquet. This was the first time Lu Zheng saw Emperor Yongning. He was of medium build, about 40 or 50 years old, with a pair of phoenix eyes like the Prince of Chu Rongzhen. His appearance was not handsome, but full of majesty.

Lu Zheng had no interest in the cold dishes, so he focused all his attention on the people in the room.

Several princes of Emperor Yongning were present, but only the eldest prince and the fourth prince attracted the most attention. The eldest prince looked gentle and elegant, while the fourth prince seemed much more flamboyant. The two of them were also competing with each other, and the smell of gunpowder was full. However, Emperor Yongning, who was sitting in the upper seat, did not seem to notice the smoke of gunpowder between his sons. Instead, he smiled and said to the Sixth Prince of the Jie people, "I heard that the Sixth Prince is a rare beauty of the Jie people. Today I see that your reputation is indeed worthy of yours." The

Sixth Prince's name was Su Yiyun Ge. He had long golden hair braided into a long pigtail behind his head. His skin was like flawless jade, and his pair of emerald eyes were like the finest jade. No matter which country he was from, his appearance could be called extreme. However, for such a man, praising his appearance was by no means an exaggeration.

Su Yiyunge seemed not to have heard the sarcastic words. She stood up and saluted towards Emperor Yongning, saying, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. How can I be called a beauty? It's just that people at that time spread

the rumor wrongly." "Oh? What do you mean?"

"There is indeed the most beautiful woman in our country, but she is not us, but our sister, Princess Su Yidaer, the pearl of our country."

With the suspense raised by Su Yiyunge, everyone was curious about Princess Daer.

At this moment, a clear bell sounded suddenly. Su Yiyunge smiled and said, "Daier specially choreographed a dance for this visit to the Great Xia Dynasty. Please enjoy it." As

soon as Su Yiyunge finished speaking, a woman who looked 70% similar to Su Yiyunge, wearing the traditional costume of the Jie people, slowly walked to the center of the hall. With a few drum beats, her footsteps moved lightly, like a skylark flying across the sky.

When Lu Zheng was watching TV, he complained about why a foreign princess had to dance in ancient times. It was not until he actually saw Su Yidai'er's dance that he realized that such a dance posture could indeed be called a national treasure.

After Su Yidaer finished dancing, most people were still immersed in her dancing and couldn't come back to their senses. It was Emperor Yongning who clapped his hands first: "It is indeed a very moving dance, and Princess Daier's beauty is also impressive."

Su Yiyunge touched her chest again and saluted: "In fact, in our country, women will hand over the flowers on their hair to their loved ones after dancing to show their love."

As he spoke, Su Yidaer had already taken off the flowers on her head and walked towards the upper seat with a smile. There were several princes and princes sitting there, but no one knew who had the blessing to be loved by this foreign princess.

In full view of the crowd, Su Yidaer handed the flowers in her hand to King Rongzhen of Chu.
