Lu Changzhou was afraid that if he sent the people from Chunqiu Pavilion to the Princess's Mansion, Fu Yunxi would be in danger, so he lived in the Dali Temple Mansion recently.
The room in the Dali Temple was very simple. Lu Changzhou, who was used to living in the eldest princess's room, couldn't sleep for a while. Later, he fell asleep and had strange dreams.
He dreamed that he didn't like the eldest princess, so he turned a blind eye to everything she did for him. Not only that, he regarded Zhong Nanyiyi as his confidante, so when he later learned that the eldest princess had committed treason, he helped capture the eldest princess and interrogate her.
In the end, the woman fell off the cliff. The feeling was too real. Lu Changzhou woke up from his dream. When he looked outside, it was still dark, but he couldn't fall asleep again.
Lu Changzhou didn't know why he had such a dream, but he found that his behavior in it was too strange. However, he was like a bystander and could not move at all.
It was clearly just a dream, but Lu Changzhou felt uneasy, fearing that it was a premonition dream.
Lu Changzhou could only distract himself by doing something else and stop thinking about the dream. He reminded himself that he would never do such a thing, so Fu Yunxi would be safe.
And because he had led the killer to the Spring and Autumn Pavilion's lair this time, he had made a great contribution. If Lu Changzhou had not realized in time that the bowl of tea was poisonous, the killer might have died and would not have confessed so much information.
The emperor was very satisfied with the case Lu Changzhou completed this time, so he gave him a reward during the morning court session.
But Lu Changzhou refused the reward, kneeling down and saying, "I haven't figured out whose orders that officer was following, so I don't dare take credit for it."
Lu Changzhou has always been meticulous in his work. He was like this when he was in the Ministry of Rites, so other officials just thought he was a bit rigid. However, this kind of person is not slick, but is more capable of getting things done.
Now even those rough men in the Dali Temple admire Lu Changzhou very much. After all, they used to think that he was a scholar who would probably faint at the sight of blood.
But later it was discovered that he not only possessed the courage of a warrior, but also the intelligence of a scholar, which was a blessing for the Dali Temple.
Zhong Nanyiyi in the Third Princess's Mansion was feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment. She had already told Leng Que about this matter when she came back, and asked him to arrange the evacuation of Chunqiu Pavilion as soon as possible, but a lot of people were still lost.
Leng Que, as the head of the Chunqiu Pavilion, although everything he did was for Zhong Nanyiyi, but now that there has been such a huge loss, he can only force a smile, and his heart is naturally in great pain.
In order to make Leng Que feel better, Zhong Nanyi gently comforted him. Seeing that he had a higher status in the woman's heart, Leng Que felt better.
Fu Yunxi felt even happier when he saw Zhong Nanyiyi busy and flustered.
Moreover, even Lu Changzhou has not been living in the Princess's Mansion recently, so Fu Yunxi feels that the years are peaceful and quiet.
If she could ever marry Rong Jing, everything would be more to her liking.
In fact, it is not that difficult to "marry" Rong Jing. After all, her good "imperial brother", the current emperor, does not want her to be with those noble sons, but this dying "sickly man".
The emperor was also happy to see Fu Yunxi with such a person who was only attractive in appearance, so it should not be difficult for Fu Yunxi to ask him to grant her marriage.
Although Lu Changzhou at the Dali Temple had some suspicions about Zhong Nanyiyi, he could not produce any evidence. Moreover, the Dali Temple could not search the Third Princess's Mansion without evidence.
Lu Changzhou heard some movement near the window and saw that it was a letter sent by carrier pigeon. He took the paper and stroked it repeatedly and found something different.
The content above is the task issued by Chunqiu Pavilion, and the paper feels very delicate. Even ordinary marquisates cannot use such paper.
In addition to Lu Changzhou's last suspicion of Zhong Nanyiyi, he was actually sure where the paper came from.
Lu Changzhou applied for a search warrant from the emperor, after all, the place to be searched was the Third Princess's mansion.
Zhong Nanyiyi already knew this when Lu Changzhou went to apply for a search warrant. She bit her lip, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.
She clearly wanted to help Lu Changzhou, so why did Lu Changzhou go against her?
She felt very wronged, especially after this incident, Lu Changzhou actually began to doubt her. Could she still win his heart?
Although the emperor was nice to Zhong Nanyiyi, it was only because he was not very close to the eldest princess. In order to express his benevolent side, he favored Zhong Nanyiyi a little.
Leng Que was still in his room, arranging the whereabouts of those people from Chunqiu Pavilion, when he saw Zhong Nanyiyi come in with a sad face.
"Yier, what's wrong with you?" Leng Que asked with a distressed look on his face.
"The emperor already knows about this matter. I'm afraid he will come to search soon." Zhong Nanyiyi answered while crying, and his whole body was trembling.
Leng Que couldn't bear to see Zhong Nanyi suffer such injustice, so he said to Zhong Nanyi, "All of this was caused by my subordinates, so I will take responsibility."
In Leng Que's heart, he would rather give up his own life than make Zhong Nanyi unhappy.
His answer was also in Zhong Nanyi's plan, so he stopped crying and sobbed, "In order to protect Chunqiu Pavilion, I arranged for people from the Dali Temple to do it. Although there is no evidence, it was discovered."
Leng Que didn't expect this incident to happen in the middle. He naturally did not doubt Zhong Nanyiyi's words, and he felt that he had to take responsibility.
Having found a scapegoat who was willing to do so, Zhong Nanyiyi finally calmed down a bit.
Zhong Nanyiyi went straight into the palace before Lu Changzhou arrived at his residence.
When the emperor first learned that Zhong Nanyiyi might have planted people in the Dali Temple, he felt more alert than when he knew it was related to the Chunqiu Pavilion.
"Imperial sister, how do you explain what happened this time?" When the emperor saw the paper Lu Changzhou handed over, he knew that it was the paper bestowed by him, and it was not available anywhere else.
In order to show that he had acknowledged his mistake, Zhong Nanyi quickly knelt down and said, "Imperial sister, I am responsible for my negligence. I didn't know there were people from the Spring and Autumn Pavilion in the mansion."
The emperor's eyes flickered slightly, not knowing whether he had received the letter or not. However, he maintained a gentle expression as he helped Zhong Nanyi up. "I and my sister have always been close, so I naturally want to believe what she says. But who is that person?"
Zhong Nanyi then slowly stood up and spoke out the words she had prepared earlier, "That man was the imperial sister's husband's servant. When I rescued him, I didn't know his identity, so I caused so much trouble."
Although she was responsible for negligence, it was not a big deal. As long as she cooperated in handing the man over to the Dali Temple, the emperor would reward her.
Zhong Nanyiyi understood the hidden meaning of the emperor's words. When she entered the palace today, she was ready to sacrifice her car to save her king.
