In the imperial court, in the magnificent meeting hall, the majestic emperor sat on the dragon throne.
Civil and military officials including Yan Xi and He Wei stood in rows below in an orderly manner.
Suddenly, the eunuch's hoarse voice sounded, "General Wang Qing of Zhenbei is summoned to the audience—"
The sounds progressed layer by layer, as if in response.
Lou Jinchuan walked up the long stairs slowly.
As time passed, he entered the hall and everyone turned to look at him.
Lou Jinchuan walked forward step by step without looking around.
Yan Xi, who was among them, was stunned when he saw Lou Jinchuan's handsome features, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
What's wrong with Lou Jinchuan?! He actually showed his true face so brazenly. Isn't he afraid that someone will recognize him?!
Yan Xi really wanted to stop him and ask him clearly, but at this moment, it was too late.
He Wei, the chief civil official, was also shocked. When he saw him, his mind went blank and he involuntarily clenched the jade token in his hand.
He didn't dare to act rashly. He could only watch as Lou Jinchuan walked to the bottom of the emperor and knelt down to pay his respects. His deep and pleasant voice was particularly clear in the hall, "Your humble servant Wang Qing pays homage to the emperor. Long live the emperor!"
The emperor on the throne smiled faintly and raised his hand, "My dear Lord Wang, please stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lou Jinchuan stood steadily, with his head slightly lowered, not looking up to look at the emperor.
The emperor, wanting to see his appearance more clearly, spoke again, "Wang Aiqing, could you please raise your head?"
Lou Jinchuan's hands hung at his side, his fingers clenched tightly together, "Yes."
As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly raised his head and looked straight at the noble and unparalleled person above him.
Although Lou Jinchuan's appearance is more like Lou Wangshi, his eyebrows and features are very similar to Lou Ji's. Only people who are particularly familiar with Lou Ji can notice this at a glance.
Obviously, the emperor was very familiar with Lou Ji. The moment Lou Jinchuan raised his head, his eyes were fixed on his eyebrows. His hands on the armrest of the dragon throne tightened slightly, and his eyes immediately became extremely sharp. He looked him over calmly, and with a smile, he said meaningfully, "My dear Wang, you are brave and good at fighting, and you are handsome. You remind me of someone."
Hearing this, not only Lou Jinchuan was a little nervous, but Yan Xi and He Wei also had their hearts in their throats and their heartbeats were like thunder.
Yan Xi was afraid that the emperor would recognize that Lou Jinchuan was Lou Ji's son.
He Wei was worried that the emperor would find out that Lou Jinchuan was Lou Wang's son.
Lou Jinchuan remained calm, his expression composed. "I wonder which senior I might be able to help His Majesty think of?"
The emperor stared at him closely for a few moments, but couldn't detect anything unusual about him. He narrowed his eyes and said, "I have an old friend, Lou Ji, who was also a founding general of the Li family."
As soon as the word "Lou Ji" came out, all the older officials in the court were shocked.
A panic spread in Yan Xi's heart, and she couldn't stop looking at Lou Jinchuan. Because she was too worried, her palms soon became wet.
When He Wei heard these two words, he was stunned for a moment.
He suddenly looked at Lou Jinchuan, and looked at him carefully for a long time. His gaze fell on those eyes, and immediately half of the blood color on his face faded. His face looked very bad, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes, but his heart was conflicted.
No, Yingying would not deceive him.
However, He Wei's doubts were greater than his trust in Lou Wangshi.
After all, Lou Jinchuan's appearance is there. He has no resemblance to He Wei, but is quite similar to Lou Ji and Lou Wangshi. The truth behind this is self-evident.
He never doubted it over the years.
If all this is a lie, then why did he do all this?!
