Luo Lingyu reacted very quickly and chased after him: "Sir, is it him..."

She wanted to ask, "Is there any news about him?"

Liu Mu interrupted her: "I will help him myself."

He leaned down and looked at the girl who was looking up at him. The girl's eyes were clear and beautiful, and she was concerned about another man. Liu Mu felt a little prickly in his heart, but he still said to her: "I will tell you if there is any news, don't worry."

He did receive the news from Luoyang and was about to go and see, but he didn't want to cause Luo Lingyu undue panic.

Liu Mu brushed off the snow on his horse's back, said "Go!", and rode away. An army followed closely behind!

At the gate behind them, Luo Lingyu watched leisurely, her heart in turmoil, and she just tried to stop herself from thinking too much -

However, Lu Yun's death was imminent. She had no one to vent her sorrow to, and the slightest disturbance made her uneasy. She was like a frightened bird...

When will she see him return safely?

The stinky man made her so angry.

…

Taichu Palace in Jianye City was covered with a thin layer of snow. The imperial city was foggy at night, the palace lights flickered, and there were very few palace ladies in the corridors. Outside the emperor's bedroom, Prince Chen Liuchu had a calm expression. He had been waiting for almost an hour, but his father had not called him in.

He saw the bright lights in the palace and heard the singing and dancing inside... After standing in the corridor for a while and calculating the time, Liu Chu did not wait any longer and went straight in. The eunuchs outside the palace wanted to stop him, but after Liu Chu gave them a few ingots of gold, they shut up. They were father and son, so it should be okay for the prince to enter, right?

Liu Chu's shoulders were covered with frost from outside the house. He stepped into the warmth of the hall, and the snow under his boots fell to the ground, wet like a stream.

The drunken emperor looked up at the desk and saw three or four shadows in front of him. He stared at them but couldn't recognize who they were. After all, this son was too inconspicuous.

The princess of the Northern Kingdom, who was drinking with the emperor, was startled to see the prince suddenly come in: "Your Highness Prince Chen, how did you come in? His Majesty didn't summon you!"

The Princess of the Northern Kingdom wanted to tell him to leave, and even turned around to complain to His Majesty. But the two beautiful maidens sitting next to His Majesty rolled their eyes at her, and blocked His Majesty from getting close to the Princess of the Northern Kingdom. They patted their chests and greeted His Royal Highness Prince Chen, then turned around and continued to pass the wine to His Majesty: "Your Majesty, Prince Chen is here to see you."

The voice was so delicate and charming, how could a serious girl like the Princess of the Northern Country utter such words?

The princess of the northern kingdom was filled with shock.

I heard Chen Wang Liu Chu calmly say, "You all go down first."

The Princess of the Northern Kingdom was naturally unwilling and naturally wanted to reprimand the young man for ignoring the authority of His Majesty. However, the two concubines who were beside His Majesty were all given to his father by Prince Chen. They were grateful for Liu Chu's kindness, so Liu Chu asked them to leave, and they carried the Princess of the Northern Kingdom away.

The Princess of the Northern Kingdom kept turning her head back: "You can't, you can't... Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Behind the screen, shadows were thick and the lights were dim, making it unclear. The Princess of the Northern Kingdom saw the King Chen walk up the steps and bow down to His Majesty. Growing up in the palace, she was used to seeing intrigues and schemes. The Princess of the Northern Kingdom was sweating on her back and her mind was blank. She thought that King Chen was going to assassinate the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom.

How can you do that?!

If Your Majesty...

The princess of the Northern Kingdom opened her mouth to scream, but was covered by the two women beside her. One of the two women said to her, "Why are you screaming? They are father and son talking in private, why are you always blocking their way? Are you really a spy sent by the Northern Kingdom? Humph, you have no good intentions, and you deserve His Majesty's dislike for you."

After a moment, when Prince Chen came out again, he still had that delicate face, calm and almost indifferent. He did not explain anything to these people, just said that the emperor fell asleep. The Princess of the Northern Kingdom pulled away the hand covering her mouth and ran to the hall to check.

She was terrified, fearing that she might witness a secret murder in the palace. Her legs went weak, and she trembled as she stepped onto the steps, falling to the ground. She rubbed her knees and climbed up forcefully, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Those who don't know the inside story would definitely think that the princess truly loves the emperor.

When Liu Chu reached the door of the main hall, he just glanced at it calmly, then walked out of the hall and headed out of the imperial city with an umbrella.

The princess of the Northern Kingdom fell to the throne of the Southern Kingdom's emperor, her eyes wet with tears, and she placed her trembling fingers under the old emperor's nose. She was about to cry, but she felt a steady breath on her fingers.

Princess of the Northern Kingdom: “……?!”

The old emperor was just asleep and not killed by Liu Chu? How is that possible? She was overthinking it? Could it be that Chen Wang Liu Chu was really a filial son as the outside world said? He stepped on the snow to enter the palace in the middle of the night and stood in the snow for an hour. It wasn't that he had other purposes, but that he really just cared about his father?

The Princess of the Northern Kingdom was confused and could not understand what Liu Chu meant.

Liu Chu walked out of the palace gate and walked along the city wall to a shaded place. A hand suddenly appeared and pulled him behind a tree. Behind the tree, Lu Erlang was nervous: "Did you get it? Did you really get the imperial edict to send troops and provide food? Did His Majesty really agree?"

Liu Chu took out an imperial edict from his sleeve, his beautiful eyelashes drooping: "He, didn't respond, but he drank, too much."

Lu Xian: “…”

Liu Chu's attitude was so natural that Lu Xian suddenly felt that it was natural. Liu Chu showed him the imperial edict. Lu Xian glanced at it and saw that it was indeed the imperial edict they wanted, so he smiled. Then Lu Erlang reacted and raised his head suddenly: "...Sir, you don't mean that you forged this imperial edict and just went in to get the imperial seal to stamp it? You, you are committing treason... Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will wake up and punish you?!"

Liu Chu: "Sanlang, I can't wait any longer. I can't delay any longer."

"…So you are plotting against your father?"

Liu Chu still had a calm expression: "He is drunk."

He might not remember what happened in detail. And even if he did remember... Liu Chu lowered his eyes: "I hope the Lu family will not waver."

Lu Erlang tightened his grip on the imperial edict.
