An assassin appeared at the celebration banquet, the emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation!
Marquis Changning and his wife were rewarded for their service in rescuing the emperor, and were promoted to the rank of Captain of the Fenglin Guard, in charge of the infantry battalion and responsible for guarding the imperial city. Marquis Changning's wife, Shen, was granted the title of Second Rank Imperial Concubine, with the title of Consort.
"Ancestors bless us! Ancestors bless us!"
When Mrs. Lu heard the good news, her whole body was filled with new radiance.
"I heard that the assassins appeared suddenly, and the guards were caught off guard. Fortunately, you were there, and that's how the Emperor and the Queen Mother escaped harm. Jing'er, you and Ruoyan really made the Marquisate proud!"
People outside said that the Changning Marquisate would rise from now on. First, Lu Jing gained the emperor's trust, and now he has the merit of saving the emperor, and his glory is endless.
Even the wife of Marquis Changning saved the Queen Mother - the whole family was together, and no one was left out of the credit. It was really enviable!
Lu Jing was in high spirits. Even though he didn't like what Mrs. Lu said, it didn't affect his good mood.
Captain!
That’s the captain of Fenglinwei!
The official position that the children of noble families are vying for just falls on his head?
Until now, Lu Jing still felt that this seemed like a dream, vague and unclear, and hard to believe.
His chest was wrapped tightly and he could only lie in bed. Even drinking water required someone to serve him. It was a painful price he paid.
Shen Ruoyan pressed the corner of his eyes with a handkerchief and said, "The doctor said that if the sword had deviated a little more, the Marquis' life would have been in danger. Fortunately, the Marquis was lucky enough to escape danger."
Madam Lu was shocked, "So dangerous?!"
When she received the news and rushed over, Shen Ruoyan had already made arrangements.
The palace physicians accompanied him, not daring to slack off in the slightest. By the time Old Lady Lu arrived, Lu Jing had already been bandaged up, and he looked like he had only suffered minor injuries, so she thought it was a blessing from the ancestors.
Unexpectedly, this time it was his grandson who risked his life!
A rare look of embarrassment appeared on Mrs. Lu's face, but it was not obvious on her wrinkled face.
Fortunately, Lu Jing didn't care. He looked at Shen Ruoyan and smiled, "Madam, you also stepped forward this time and actually saved the Queen Mother. In the future, our blessings are still to come!"
He really thought so. He saved the emperor, and Shen Ruoyan saved the empress dowager. The two most noble people in the world were all saved by them!
What an honor!
Although Lu Jing knew that he had saved the emperor, it was a blind cat catching a dead mouse - but the situation was chaotic at the time, and even the emperor himself was not sure whether he was being pinned down and wanted to turn over, or if he turned over deliberately to block the sword for him...
Others will not question it even more.
Now that the imperial decree has been issued, no one can take away this credit!
Lu Jing fell asleep contentedly. He must have been having a sweet dream, as the corners of his mouth were raised.
Shen Ruoyan and Old Madam Lu walked out quietly. When they got outside, Old Madam Lu remembered that Shen Ruoyan had also been granted an imperial decree, so she praised her, "Ruoyan, you did a great job this time. You are worthy of being the daughter-in-law of my mansion. You know how to bring honor to the mansion!"
"Grandma, you're too kind. I didn't think too much about it at the time. It was all just instinct." Shen Ruoyan said modestly.
Although they were in the Marquis' Mansion, this time, she and Lu Jing suddenly came into everyone's sight, and there were people staring at them everywhere.
Walls have ears, and that’s not just a saying.
Shen Ruoyan's neither humble nor arrogant attitude made Mrs. Lu appreciate her even more. Suddenly, she felt that the daughter of the Shen family was indeed good. She could always hold the scene in such a big occasion.
If it was someone like Fang Rou, she would be thankful that she didn't drag the Queen Mother down with her...
It seems that Zhuhong's son will have to be taught by Shen Ruoyan in the future.
After all, they come from aristocratic families, and the children they educate have different temperaments.
Lu Changchuan, an adopted son from outside, has become more and more extraordinary. If you go outside, you might think he is the son of some noble family.
It is enough to see that Shen Ruoyan is indeed a good parent.
At this time, Shen Ruoyan didn't know that she had been targeted by Madam Lu again.
When she went to block the Queen Mother, her elbow hit the ground and was slightly scratched. At this moment, Chun Xi was carefully applying medicine to her.
"Those assassins were so bold! They actually dared to attack us during the celebration banquet. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm and nothing serious happened. But my lady, you must take care of yourself in the future. They are assassins who kill without blinking an eye!"
Chun Xi couldn't even imagine how Shen Ruoyan would have been able to save her life if the guards hadn't arrived in time.
Not to mention saving the Queen Mother!
This is truly the result of risking one’s life!
Shen Ruoyan smiled slightly and did not answer.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
The palace was heavily guarded, so it was naturally difficult for ordinary assassins to carry out the assassination. But what if there was someone familiar with the palace's defenses, who could tip them off and arrange for someone to meet them inside?
After being reborn from Shen Ruoyan's body, all of Lu Hua's previous men were out of contact.
In addition, after her death, the emperor cut off the roots of her family and took the opportunity to stir up trouble, sending her family out of Shengjing. He also re-checked the staff in the palace, which had a great impact on her layout.
Fortunately, hard work pays off, and she consolidated the power of the Marquis' Mansion into her own hands.
They were also not idle with the outside world. They finally gathered their previous strength and re-established contact.
Did Zhuang Mi and her son think that they could do whatever they wanted after they left?
As the empress dowager, it is a mistake not to take the ancestral country as your own responsibility!
As an emperor, it is a mistake not to take responsibility for the people and the country!
As a human being, it is a huge mistake to disregard human life and be selfish!
She had sown the seeds with her own hands, and now she had to reap the fruits! Meng Su released the tiger back to the mountain. With the courage and ambition of the new emperor Meng Su, his ambition would definitely not be affected by this failure.
Instead, it will allow him to sum up his experience and make adequate preparations for a comeback.
Before that day arrives, she must ensure that the superiors have a clear mind. At the very least, they won't make the absurd decision of ceding territory and paying compensation!
When Meng Su's army headed straight for Nanwu, the emperor's first thought was not how to fight back, but how to seek peace!
Cede territory and pay compensation, or even send a princess as a bride, these absurd ideas are more outrageous than the last!
Did he think that no one would know unless he issued an edict?
All of these things, one by one, were under Shen Ruoyan's control! Otherwise, there would not have been this assassination!
Dasheng has begun to decay.
The root of this corruption lies in the palace and in the court, and it is a path of corruption from top to bottom!
When she was the Queen Mother, she was worshipped by the people and respected by all the officials - now, it is time for her to take responsibility!
