Your Highness, it's cold.
The emperor did not dare to continue cooking, but even so, he could not escape the harsh scolding.
The Empress came hurriedly, holding the Crown Prince in her left hand and holding the Emperor in her right hand. She was not so furious that she was burning with anger, but at least she was so angry that she wanted to kill everything.
Lu Xingshuang let out a long sigh, then took a deep breath, but still couldn't calm the fire in his chest.
The Empress laughed in anger: "You two, old and young, are really capable. I'm away for one day, and you dare to make such a big fuss?"
Lu Xiyun was sweating profusely and tried to shrink behind the emperor. The young man weakly pleaded, "Aunt... my uncle told me, I, I agree—"
Lu Xingshuang didn't even wait for Lu Xiyun to finish: "Shut up! What do you know about burning contracts? Just burn a piece of that yellow paper, and you will lose at least ten years of your life!!"
Prince Lu hung his head and dared not say a word after being scolded.
Lu Xingshuang flicked his sleeves and turned his sharp eyes to the other culprit.
"And you, Qin Huaijin!"
"He doesn't understand, and you don't understand either, right?!"
"You really want my Lu family to be extinct, right?!"
Lu Xingshuang stepped forward, his eyes nearly blazing with fire. "Which of his three elder brothers didn't sacrifice their lives for their country? Which of their blood wasn't soaked in the land you built?! How has my Lu family ever wronged your Qin family?! With this one remaining child, you won't let him go?!"
The emperor didn't dare to talk back, and only said in a flattering and soothing way: "Xingshuang, calm down, calm down, and take care of yourself."
"Still calming down? I'll be pissed off to death sooner or later!" Lu Xingshuang's eyes were blazing: "How many did you burn, you bastard?!"
The Emperor's voice lowered: "Just... half a sheet."
"Xiyun——" In an instant, the Queen was overwhelmed: "Follow me."
Lu Xiyun looked over honestly: "Where are you going?"
"Go back to the Western Frontier! Even foreigners from other regions wouldn't pay attention to our own people like this!"
Qin Huaijin immediately became anxious: "Xingshuang, don't be impulsive, you are still sick!"
The emperor began to give hints to those around him frantically.
However, the two princes, one looking up at the sky and the other looking at the ground, were pretending to be stupid and ignored him.
Fortunately, he had a sensible nephew, and Lu Xiyun understood what he meant. Prince Lu, who had been able to hold his own against ten men at the gate of the Buddhist temple just now, immediately became unstable.
Lu Xingshuang hurriedly went to touch him: "What's going on?! Do you have a headache and are you dizzy?!" He then made a note of the emperor: "It must be that half of the deed that was burned!"
"Both..." When it came time to act pitiful, Lu Xiyun said without hesitation: "Aunt... feels uncomfortable and wants to take a nap."
The topic immediately turned to bed, so there was no way he could leave.
Lu Xiyun gave Qin Shu another look, and His Royal Highness Prince Xiang understood what he meant.
Qin Shu: "I'll take the prince down to rest."
Qin Shu was willing to take such a risk to stop this matter today, and Lu Xingshuang had a very good impression of the third prince.
The Queen nodded: "In that case, thank you for your hard work, Your Highness."
··
Shengde Temple, Beiyuan.
As soon as Qin Shu stepped into the temple where he was staying, he saw a sea of heads.
It was the group of 'strangers' who came to our aid today.
Qin Shu raised his eyebrows: "Ren Xuan, send the prince inside to rest first."
Ren Xuan clasped his fists in response, but Lu Xiyun refused to cooperate at all.
The so-called rest was just an excuse to run away. Far from feeling sleepy, Prince Lu looked at the uninvited guests with a wary look: "Who are they?"
His Royal Highness Prince Xiang turned his gaze to Ren Xuan.
General Ren said stubbornly, "They are all my friends in the army."
Qin Shu then changed the subject: "Didn't you just say you were dizzy?"
Lu Xiyun waved his hand: "That is to give His Majesty a way out."
Qin Shu lifted the guy's sleeve and asked, "Are you hurt?"
There was blood on the sleeve, but when I lifted it up, the arm was fine.
Lu Xiyun didn't care at all: "That brat didn't fight seriously, only the last move was a little difficult."
Prince Lu was furious: "Someone is actually plotting against you! Don't be afraid, I'll help you explain it to your uncle when we get back!"
Qin Shu was stunned when he heard this. This guy obviously misunderstood something.
Instead, Ren Xuan followed Lu Xiyun's perspective.
Lu Xiyun confused the people surrounding the temple with those guarding it. Prince Lu mistook Yuan Feng, the kid, for an assassin who broke into the temple, and Qin Shu's gang for friendly forces.
In this way, the story in the eyes of Prince Lu changed from Qin Shu deceiving Lu Xiyun away and surrounding the imperial temple to the third prince remaining calm in the face of danger and making great contributions to saving the emperor.
Even negatives can equal positives, damn this emperor is worthy of being the destiny.
Qin Shu, who had also realized what was happening, didn't say a word and was completely happy to go along with it: "Then I'm completely relying on you."
Lu Xiyun was much more direct: "What do you rely on? Just come with me to see my uncle."
Regardless of whether Qin Shu could react or not, the leaders in the temple led everyone to kneel down with their fists clasped.
"Your Highness, think twice!"
"Your Highness, it is a fact that you are now outside the prison."
"If we return to the Imperial City, we will be putting our lives in Lu Xingchuan's hands."
"The prison break has already happened. If Lu Xingchuan goes along with it and denies what happened today, how will you deal with it, Your Highness?"
Qin Shu glanced at the kneeling crowd with an indifferent look.
He was a craftsman, and he knew clearly that among the group of people in front of him, more than half were using craftsman's tools to change their appearance.
Behind Qin Shu, General Ren silently took out the letter from Yan.
The Dog-Dead Emperor: "Ahem—who's the boss here now?"
A single tree cannot make a forest: "Don't ask..."
Moon Watcher: "Kneeling..."
The doctor can't heal himself: "Caught up? So fast?!"
A single tree cannot make a forest: "Don't ask..."
Wang Yue Guiren: "I'm trying to persuade him to come in..."
On this side, His Royal Highness Prince Xiang did not answer but asked: "I wonder how you all would like me to deal with this?"
"As long as Your Highness nods, we will leave the capital with you. The three provinces of Heshuo will be handed over to Your Highness. We are willing to follow Your Highness and work together for the great cause!"
The damned emperor: "?! What are you doing? Advising the emperor to rebel?"
Wangyue Guiren: "This isn't the first time we've rebelled..."
A single tree cannot make a forest: "It is inevitable, so the sooner you start, the less worry you will have."
In fact, he returned to the imperial city, handed his life to Lu Xingchuan, and followed a group of people with unknown background to rebel.
There is not much difference in the evaluation of these two in Qin Shu.
Qin Shu did not respond directly immediately.
The first loyal person in Dagan, who had disappeared for a while, has reappeared.
The most loyal of all: "Your Highness, why are you still hesitating?! Damn! Your Highness, the Prince of Xiang, the destiny has been fulfilled!!"
Here, His Royal Highness Prince Xiang, who had been chosen by fate, only explained to the young man beside him: "Your uncle is very dissatisfied with me. If I go back now, I might not be able to come out alive."
Prince Lu said righteously: "It's not your fault, what are you afraid of?"
Qin Shu spread his hands and said, "The only thing that can be called a fact right now is that I escaped from prison. It's hard to say how Lord Lu will make a fuss about this."
Lu Xiyun was visibly getting anxious: "You're not really going to rebel with them, are you?"
Qin Shu glanced at the group kneeling in front of him, then looked at Lu Xiyun who was in disbelief, and took out a piece of yellow paper from his arms.
In the Yanshu group of the "loyal and good generals", there was another screen flooding with messages.
"What is this?"
"Yanzhi, a disposable wild goose letter."
"What does he mean? Are we making him the emperor?"
"No, I'm still kneeling. What does he think? Can't I listen?"
After receiving the letter, Prince Lu relaxed his brows and said, "Then I will return to the imperial city first. You wait for my news."
"Tsk...it's cold. Kneeling in vain."
"No, if he doesn't rebel now, it doesn't mean he's handing his life over to Lu Xingchuan."
"The Emperor wouldn't do such a thing, would he?!"
"Look at Lu Xiyun's appearance, he definitely can't rebel."
Over there, Qin Shu had already put his arm around Lu Xiyun's shoulder, half-persuadingly saying, "Also, next time, don't go up on your own all the time. A son of a wealthy family shouldn't sit idle, understand?"
In an instant, public resentment boiled over.
"Fuck, it's getting worse, isn't it?"
"?!! If you want to have a relationship, wake me up first. I'm still kneeling, you bastard!!"
"Let's rebel! If he doesn't, we will! Kill the dog emperor!!!"
"Well said! Rebel against him!!"
The Yanshu group was chatting animatedly, but in reality there was no movement in the yard.
It was a sea of black, and they were kneeling in an orderly manner.
It doesn't affect the two of them at all.
Lu Xiyun didn't buy into Qin Shu's preaching at all: "This is the rule of your imperial city. We don't have such a rule in the west."
Qin Shu shook his head and tutted: "Be careful, it's not a bad thing."
On second thought, it is indeed a bit unreasonable to persuade a warrior not to use a knife.
Qin Shu sighed: "Forget it, I'll take care of it."
···
At the Guangning Marquis’ Mansion, Lord Lu has a headache now.
This Lu family, this Qin family, Mr. Chi is doomed...
Early in the morning, two people, one big and one small, came to the Marquis's residence. They were so tactful that they had no intention of going home.
Lu Xiyun: "Uncle. I really don't mind."
Qin Huaizhang: "Xingchuan. Let Xiaoshu go for once."
Lu Xingchuan was speechless.
Lu Xingchuan glanced at Qin Shu behind Qin Huaizhang, and he really looked as innocent as a white lotus.
Haha, it’s acted so realistically.
But it is hard for Lu Xingchuan not to care about what has happened in recent days.
Besides himself, there were other people plotting against Qin Shu. Could it be that Lu Xingchuan was also part of their scheme?
Lord Lu was always good at reflection. Lu Xingchuan cast his gaze over and slowly said five words: "You shouldn't have come back."
Qin Shu didn't deny it, but just smiled and said, "If you don't come back, you will really become a traitor."
Lu Xingchuan smiled jokingly: "Even now, I can still say that all this was arranged by you."
This could certainly be a move directed and acted by Qin Shu himself to confuse the audience.
His beloved nephew still spared no effort to tell outsiders: "Uncle - I saw it with my own eyes, it was definitely not an act."
Lu Xingchuan ignored it. It was a fact that Qin Shu's men injured Qin Huaizhang.
In this imperial city, Qin Huaizhang should be the person closest to Qin Shu, and even his only remaining relatives can be taken into account.
Qin Shu is a thoroughly ambitious man.
Of course, the Lu family cannot place their bets on such a person, so Lu Xingchuan spared no effort in targeting Qin Shu.
But the person who could have taken this opportunity to escape came back, but an ambitious man like Qin Shu chose to hand his life back into the hands of Lu Xingchuan.
The favorability of His Royal Highness Prince Xiang in Lord Lu's heart, which had fallen below the bottom line, had barely recovered a little.
Since Qin Shu dared to be so fearless, perhaps what happened to Ren Xuan was not indeed instructed by Qin Shu.
But if Qin Shu was betting that he would think so, then this boy was a little too scary.
After a period of complicated and ineffective internal friction, Lu Xingchuan let out a long sigh.
"Qin Shu, I will only ask you this once."
Lord Lu's eyes were sharp: "Ren Xuan is your man?"
"yes."
"Did you arrange for Ren Xuan to work in Prince Jin's Mansion?"
"yes."
"Did you instruct Ren Xuan to stab Qin Huaizhang?"
“?!!”
