Liu Chu spoke slowly: "The night is long and dreams are many, first send the decree out of the imperial city overnight. Your Majesty, I will take over first."

As long as Lu Sanlang wins and the Lu family stands on his side, Liu Chu will still have some room to maneuver with His Majesty. But if the Nanyang troops are defeated... Liu Chu will be sentenced to death.

Lu Xian was shocked, and looked at the young man deeply again - it was the first time he knew that this King Chen, who looked delicate and usually kept a low profile, could be so bold at a critical moment. He even dared to forge an imperial edict!

Just to save my third brother?

Lu Xian whispered: "…Don't worry, Your Highness. If His Majesty blames us, the Lu family will definitely stand on your side."

Liu Chu hummed "hmm" and said nothing more, signaling Lu Erlang to stop talking nonsense. Before the emperor woke up, the first priority was to send the tens of millions of troops and food carrying the imperial edict to the north.

Everything is slowly deviating from the track in Lu Jilang's dream.

It was late at night, snow was falling in Jianye, and Lu Erlang drove alone in the cold night. He was full of passion, carrying a hot imperial edict, and drove to the brightly lit Sima Mansion.

He got the imperial edict! The Grand Marshal should send troops immediately! Action must be taken before dawn!

Faster, faster, faster!

In Nanyang, the army was exhausted and the nobles were struggling. Luo Lingyu actively ran between the army, the nobles and the common people. She twisted her fingers and kept looking into the distance.

In Jianye City, the forged imperial edict was delivered to the Sima Mansion. The next day, when a large number of troops left the city, a fire broke out in the Sima Mansion, burning tens of thousands of scrolls and the imperial edict from last night. His Royal Highness Prince Chen sat in the mansion and asked the person who set the fire to leave the city directly. When the Sima Mansion in Jianye was in chaos, Prince Chen climbed up to a high place, looking into the distance, and waiting for the question from His Majesty who was about to wake up.

Further north, in Luoyang City, the sensation caused by Lady Chen Xue was quietly coming to an end. Heavy snow had fallen for three days, but it did not dampen the interest of the governor of Luoyang. That night, the governor wanted to take Lady Chen Xue as his concubine, and invited soldiers and nobles to watch the ceremony. The snow at night was as bright as water, illuminating the beautiful woman playing the piano behind the screen.

Chen Xue's charm once again made those nobles who admired beauties shake their heads and sigh.

Chen Xue came out and, accompanied by the prefect, toasted everyone one by one.

Across a river, in a small house in the center of the lake, a famous scholar was painting a picture for the girl Chen Xue.

After a while, Chen Xue claimed to change clothes and left the prefect. The prefect had not been seen for a long time, and he was a little uneasy after drinking at the banquet. The guests at the banquet were getting drunker and the atmosphere was getting quieter. The prefect was uneasy and stood up suddenly. He stumbled out of the room, his head was dizzy, but he grabbed a waiter who was serving wine and asked, "Where is Xuexue? Why hasn't she come back yet?"

Servants: "It seems the girl has returned to her room..."

The governor shook his head, forcing himself to sober up. He felt more and more uneasy, and the courtyard was so quiet that it made him uncomfortable. He looked back at the drunk people at the banquet, the wine spilling on the floor, and then looked at the reflections on the screen in the water hall in the distance, knowing that those celebrities should still be painting... The governor stumbled and went to Chen Xue's house to look for someone.

He pushed open the door and said drunkenly: "Xuexue, Xuexue..."

The room was quiet, the lights were off, he fumbled in the dark, and accidentally kicked over the screen. The screen fell to the ground with a clang, tripping the governor. The governor was alert, and raised his head, but was stunned. He saw the inner room behind the screen, the window was open, and a person was facing away from him, half dressed, and his snow-white spine was reflected in his eyes.

The other person's hair was long and spread out, with her hair crown slightly tilted.

Just the back view made his eyes burn. He said dryly: "Xuexue..."

The man paused and turned around. He was handsome and as beautiful as jade, but... he looked like a man.

Lu Yun raised his eyebrows and smiled gently.

The governor of Luoyang was furious and stood up alertly: "Who are you? Why are you in my concubine's room? What is your relationship with her? Someone come! Could it be, could it be..."

Lu Sanlang smiled, put on his clothes, stood up slowly, and provided an answer: "Could it be that I am having an affair with your concubine?"

Governor: “……!!!”

Chapter 119

The snow was bright, shining through the window. A milky glow floated on the young man who stood up. This man had a handsome face, which the Luoyang governor had only seen in his life. He was the kind of face that an ordinary girl would not want to take her eyes off if she met him on the street.

Moreover, his clothes were disheveled, presenting a slovenly beauty that was enchanting.

After the governor stumbled into the house, he pulled up the outer coat on his shoulders to cover the plain inner garment. When he looked over, his expression was somewhat playful and lazy, and his demeanor made people feel extremely elegant. There was no light in the house, so the governor could only judge by the faint light of the snow from the window. His heart skipped a beat, because he saw that the young man seemed to have thrown red and blue women's clothing silk at his feet, and on the silk and belt, there were hairpins, brooches, bracelets and other things that glowed with the fluorescent color of jade.

Those... are clearly Chen Xue’s things!

Having an affair!

The governor's face turned pale: Chen Xue's personality was mysterious and erratic, always making him puzzled; she also had a rough life, and the governor had doubts in his heart, but the people he sent to investigate her life were too experienced for a while to find out. Chen Xue was usually distant from him, and her every frown and smile was full of melancholy. This man in front of him, this man...

Such a handsome appearance!

As he approached, the governor felt that he and his beloved overlapped in a trance... But the governor immediately shook his head, thinking that he must have drunk too much. How could they overlap? His Xuexue would never betray him. She must have been bullied by this man...

The governor's mind was in a mess, and he always felt that his thoughts were not clear. But he just drank a few cups of wine... The governor of Luoyang couldn't bear it anymore, so he leaned back and supported himself on the chopping board to prevent himself from falling. He tried to maintain: "Where is Xuexue? Hand her over. I can't blame you for breaking into the governor's mansion at night..."

Lu Yun walked towards him. Lu Sanlang had regained his manhood, his mind was as clear as snow, his face as white as jade. He walked towards the governor in the darkness. He was wearing an ordinary grey robe for men, which was convenient for night travel, but his tall and slender figure made him look like a noble and elegant person. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and walked slowly. He was unmoved by the governor's words, but his eyebrows slightly raised.
