Lu Saburo!
When the cousins heard Lu Yun's voice, they all turned their heads. Luo Lingyu urged them to leave but they refused to leave. Luo Lingyu met Lu Yun's eyes full of malicious smile: "..."
This evil star.
When Luo Lingyu was racking her brains to think of how to stop Lu Yun from causing trouble for her, she suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves. The women turned around in surprise and saw two knights riding horses. They ran past them and rushed to Lu Sanlang who seemed to have difficulty walking. When they got to Lu Sanlang, the two knights dismounted and said something to him anxiously.
From a distance, Luo Lingyu saw Lu Yun's expression change.
He didn't have time to settle accounts with her, so he mounted his horse and left with the knight, without even telling Lu Erlang who was still in the temple. He rode away from Zhongshan, entered Jianye, and rode all the way to Chen Wangfu. When he got off the horse, he fell down because of a painful knee injury, but Lu Sanlang didn't care at all, threw away the reins and rushed all the way to Chen Wangfu.
Pushing open the study door, he saw Chen Wang Liu Chu writing a memorial with his head down. He raised his eyes and met Lu Sanlang, who had a grim look on his face.
Lu Yun said in a tense voice: "I handed the assassin to you because I trusted you to find out the truth and see who wanted to assassinate the Prince of Hengyang. Liu Chu, you actually killed him directly?"
Liu Chu spoke slowly: "No, yes, I want to kill him. I, have to, not."
Lu Yun: “Tell me why!”
Liu Chu's eyes were calm, and he looked at his old friend calmly. He shrank his hands slightly on the table, and spoke more slowly: "Because, because. The person who wants to kill him is, is, my father."
The person who wanted to kill the Prince of Hengyang was the current emperor, the father of Prince Chen Liu Chu and the elder brother of Prince Hengyang Liu Mu. In order to prevent the truth from being exposed, Liu Chu received an order from the emperor to kill the assassin directly when he was close to the truth.
In the study, the two gentlemen looked at each other.
Suddenly there was a rumble of thunder in the sky, and heavy rain came down.
Chapter 35
The city of Jianye was washed by the spring rain, and the main roads and the gardens were surrounded by the rain. From time to time, thunder could be heard from the sky. Pedestrians on the street hurriedly sought shelter from the rain under the eaves, with their hands over their eyes looking at the vast rain. In the Taichu Palace, there was singing and dancing. The emperor wore a Taoist robe and brushed off the dust, listening to the Taoist priests in the palace drowsily. The Prince of Hengyang and his men gathered in the study to discuss the assassin who was killed by the Prince of Chen...
"Everyone, thinks I killed him." It was really inconvenient to say it, so Chen Wang Liu Chu simply used water to write on the table for Lu Sanlang to see, "Hengyang Wang will blame me, which is better than him finding out that it was my father."
This is what His Majesty the Emperor meant when he asked his own son to take the blame for him.
There is no kinship in the imperial family. The relationship between father and son is barely acceptable, but between brothers... especially when the eldest brother is the emperor and the younger brother is also highly expected by the previous emperor. The current emperor is addicted to sensual pleasures and is not active in state affairs. The whole Jianye is a place of extravagance and drunkenness. However, even so, the emperor cannot tolerate having such a younger brother who was given a secret order by the previous emperor.
After knowing the truth, Lu Sanlang's expression calmed down a little. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his pupils were dark. Langjun lifted his robe and sat down. There was a sound of rain outside. After hesitating for a moment, he whispered to King Chen opposite him: "Could it be that the legendary secret decree really exists?"
This is the secret decree from the late emperor, hoping that Your Majesty would pass the throne to Prince Hengyang.
Liu Chu frowned and shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
Lu Sanlang stared at him for a long time and taunted him, "That's good. From now on, Prince Hengyang will target you in the court. You should be prepared. I hope our Majesty will give you some compensation..."
Liu Chu interrupted in a low voice: "There is compensation."
Lu Yun asked casually: "Hmm?"
Liu Chu: "I asked my father for an official position for you."
This word was too complicated for Liu Chu to say, so he had to write: "In charge of serving Shi Lang, and also as a guest of my school."
He was in charge of the Shilang of the Imperial Guards, the officials in charge of the promotion and promotion of all officials, the imperial edicts, the public office, and miscellaneous affairs. Among them, miscellaneous affairs were the most. These duties were busy, but the most important position was the guest of Prince Chen. At first, everyone in Jianye knew that Lu Sanlang was the man of Prince Chen, but Prince Chen had never said it openly; Liu Chu was just a young man who stuttered and was silent most of the time. He was really inconspicuous among the young men. In fact, except for a few people like Lu Yun...even the emperor didn't know that Liu Chu stuttered! When Liu Chu finally got a name from the emperor, he immediately asked for an imperial edict for Lu Yun.
Lu Yunnong fluttered his eyelashes and stared at him quietly.
Liu Chu advised him: "I know you are aloof, but if you want to do practical things, you must have a legitimate teacher. It is better to have an official position than to be just 'Lu Sanlang'."
Liu Chu: "I know you are unwilling to accept your uncle's favor, and you don't want to have an idle job to kill time. Lu Sanlang is arrogant. If he wants to be an official, he must do something, and he doesn't want to be idle. I, I... I am not capable enough now, so I can only give you such an official position. But don't worry, you, you and I are brothers, and I will give you whatever I have. Now, now you are just a Yu Shilang, in the future, in the future... I will not treat you badly."
He held Lu Yun's hand and looked at him with a little guilt.
He and Lu Yun met when they were both in humble circumstances. At that time, Lu Sanlang's father had just passed away and his mother had just committed suicide for love. When young Lu Sanlang first came to Jianye, he saw for the first time such a large and glorious family as the Lu family. The shock of his parents' early death was still fresh in his mind, and before he could digest it, a strange and gorgeous world had already opened up in front of young Lu Yun. For a child who was born in the border and had never known the elegance of a noble family, the Lu family would not make him feel honored, but only afraid. It was at that time that Lu Yun and Liu Chu met...
Lu Yun lowered his eyes and pulled his hand away: "Don't say that. Your stuttering is caused by accidentally catching a fever while trying to save me when I was a naughty kid. I am the one who feels guilty about this."
Lu Yun said calmly: "My life is yours, you can take it anytime. I will accept whatever position you give me."
He had already decided what path Liu Chu would take, and he would just follow him.
Liu Chu looked at him dimly and nodded: "I will definitely live up to your trust."
