The fight was quickly stopped and no one was killed, but everyone present was injured.

No one could do anything about the people from the Five Cities Military Department on both sides, so they were all sent to the emperor together.

When the emperor heard this, he said he didn't care and told them to get out.

"I am innocent."

Of course Zhu Zan would not run away, but knelt outside the palace gate and shouted.

"I don't accept it. Your Majesty must punish him. He coveted my wife and flirted with her in broad daylight..."

The noise was so loud that all the eunuchs and palace maids passing by in the distance looked over.

The eunuchs standing outside the palace shouted anxiously.

"My prince," said the chief eunuch, "please stop making such a fuss. This is not a glorious matter."

Zhu Zan glared and said "Pooh".

"He has no shame, so why should I save face for him? His shameful deeds must be known to everyone," he said.

It's not a glorious thing for you to have your wife teased by someone else. The eunuchs were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Of course I am proud," Zhu Zan said. "This shows that my wife is very beautiful. This is a good thing. I am proud of it."

What a mess! The eunuchs looked at him in amazement.

"But this glory is our business, not something that Lu Yunqi can covet and flirt with." Zhu Zan said, limping forward, "Your Majesty, I don't accept it. Lu Yunqi broke my leg..."

The eunuchs rushed to stop him.

"I say, my Lord, please stop making trouble."

"When His Majesty is in a good mood, please don't cause trouble."

"Your Majesty, even though you didn't mention it, it doesn't mean it didn't happen."

"Be careful, or His Majesty will get angry and drive you away to the north, where you won't be able to see your wife for a year."

Perhaps these words shocked Zhu Zan. He turned around angrily and saw Lu Yunqi kneeling quietly beside him.

"Just wait, you bastard. I'll beat you up every time I see you." He shouted in a low voice.

Lu Yunqi didn't even look at him, but just knelt straight.

Zhu Zan strode away, without any sign of limping from a broken leg.

The eunuchs heaved a sigh of relief and wiped their sweat, thinking that they could just get rid of this ancestor.

They looked at Lu Yunqi again.

"Lord Lu, His Majesty does not blame you, you can go back soon." They said, looking at Lu Yunqi's bruised face and the bloodstains still on his ears.

He didn't shout or cry out, but he was also injured a lot.

"I want to see His Majesty." Lu Yunqi said.

The eunuchs looked at each other helplessly. Prince Zhu was making a fuss and yelling, but they dared to scold him with both coaxing and threats, because they knew that although Prince Zhu was absurd, he would not do anything to them, but Lu Yunqi...

This person is silent, doesn't make a fuss, is neither happy nor angry, but is like a dark snake staring at you. You don't know when you have said something that offended him, and he will remember you and bite you silently, and you will still have a smile on your face when you die.

He doesn't care about your status. No matter who you are, a high-ranking official or a pawnbroker, as long as you provoke him, he will bite you mercilessly.

There were more than one eunuchs who had fallen on bad terms at his hands, not to mention the forgotten head of the Imperial Hospital who was still imprisoned in the Imperial Guard.

What about the director of the Imperial Hospital? What about the person the Queen Mother relied on? The Queen Mother forgot about him after not seeing him for a month. The Imperial Hospital was also replaced by new people. Who would remember him?

Even the eunuchs couldn't remember what the visitor's name was.

What a terrible person, what a terrible thing.

It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. This is probably the reason.

At that moment, several eunuchs looked at each other.

"Then please wait a moment, sir, we will try again." said an eunuch.

Lu Yunqi knelt silently and watched the eunuch walk away quickly. After a full incense stick of time, the eunuch finally came hurriedly when the sunlight gradually set.

"Lord Lu, His Majesty has summoned you," he said.

Hearing the voice, Lu Yunqi wanted to stand up, but because he had been kneeling for too long and was injured, he staggered and was unable to stand up. The eunuchs on both sides rushed to support him.

Lu Yunqi waved them away, stumbled to his feet and walked forward.

The eunuchs followed at a distance.

"Is it worth it for a woman?" An eunuch couldn't help but mutter, "Ms. Jun is just so-so in appearance, and she has such a fierce temper, how can we train her to obey?"

"You don't understand. The more you can't get something, the more you want it." Another eunuch laughed softly, "The more powerful the horse, the more attractive it is to ride."

The eunuch rolled his eyes at him.

"You sound like you understand what I'm saying. What do you know more than me?" he said.

The eunuch made a "Pooh" sound, and the other two started to curse and swear. They saw Lu Yunqi had already entered the hall in front of them.

The palace was a bit stuffy on a summer evening.

"What are you doing?" the emperor shouted angrily, "Isn't it chaotic enough?"

Lu Yunqi just knelt on the ground and said nothing.

"Duke Cheng is in the limelight right now. I will not slap him in the face, let alone slap myself in the face." The emperor said coldly, "If you give others a handle like this, Duke Cheng will take the opportunity to get rid of you. I dare not guarantee to protect you."

Lu Yunqi raised his head.

"Your Majesty originally promised to give Princess Jiuling to me," he said.

When the emperor heard the word "at the beginning", his expression changed slightly.

"This Miss Jun is not her." He said angrily, "Besides, I have already given her to you. Her death is not my fault."

Without waiting for Lu Yunqi to speak, he stood up and walked back and forth.

"She wanted to kill me, how could I keep her?"

He became angrier and angrier as he spoke, as if he was thinking back to the scene at that time, and felt a little scared.

"I trust you, and I trust her, but who would have thought that a knife would be drawn suddenly? It's a pity that I dodged it quickly!"

Then he stopped.

"Have you finished investigating what happened? In addition to that maid, are there any other accomplices?"

"No." Lu Yunqi looked blank, "Bing'er committed suicide, Jiuling is also dead, we can't find out what they said."

The emperor let out a breath and looked at Lu Yunqi's pale face. Even in this twilight, he felt a little nervous.

"Yunqi," he said in a softer voice, "I know you can't bear to do that, but since Jiuling has come to kill me, she must have known the truth. You know Jiuling's personality very well. She is stubborn and has let her temper get the better of her. If you don't kill her, she will definitely kill you."

Speaking of this, he sighed.

"You can't keep her."

Lu Yunqi didn't say anything, just looked at the ground.

The bluestone floor was bright and clean in the twilight, but he seemed to see blood staining underneath.

Can't be kept.

Can't you keep it?

…

The twilight faded away, the night fell, and the imperial city became darker and darker. Lu Yunqi walked slowly inside and walked out of the palace gate. The Jinyi Guards swarmed in.

In addition to the horses, there was also a carriage.

"Please take the car, sir." Jiang Qianhu advised in a low voice.

Zhu Zan had been in the army for a long time and had killed so many people, so he was extremely ruthless in beating people. Lu Yunqi must have been seriously injured now.

Lu Yunqi ignored him and walked to the front of the horse.

"Lord Lu."

There was a sound coming from behind.

Lu Yunqi tilted his head slightly and saw from the corner of his eye that someone was walking out of the government office nearby, trembling.

"Mr. Lu, please stay. I want to borrow something from you." Huang Cheng said kindly.
