Every word Lu Yanluo spoke was full of gems, and each one touched Lu's sore spot.

Mrs. Lu could no longer escape, so she stood up, walked in front of Lu Yanluo, and slowly knelt down.

"A Luo, it's my fault. I'm sorry for the child and the Lu family. I beg you, can you help me? Please help me one more time!"

If it were before, Lu Yanluo would have agreed without thinking, but after this incident, Mrs. Lu made her truly realize how fickle people's hearts are and how ruthless they can be. She had to admit that she was a little heartbroken.

Mrs. Lu saw Lu Yanluo's hesitation and began to beg her, hoping that she would remember their past friendship and help her through the difficult times.

"I swear, as long as I can get out of here, from now on, I will never see Zhou Sheng again. Ah Luo, now only you can help me, I beg you!"

"Okay." Lu Yanluo agreed, but with conditions.

"In the past, the queen was pregnant and lived in fear in the palace. At that time, the queen came to me, hoping to use the power of the Night King's Mansion to protect you and your son. At that time, the queen said that she would persuade General Lu to submit to the Night King."

"At that time, I thought about how difficult it was for the queen, so I took on the responsibility."

"My queen, times have changed. It's time for you to fulfill your promise. I can save you. I want the military power and influence of the Lu family. It depends on whether you are willing to give it up now."

Are they willing to give it up? Of course they are not willing to give it up. If it was the time when the Night King was in power, it would be possible. The Lu family followed the Night King and helped him ascend the throne. In the future, they would be the heroes who followed the dragon.

But now the Night King is seriously ill and may die at any time. If the Lu family submits to the Night King at this time, it will be like drawing water with a bamboo basket. How can the Lu family agree to this?

"The Night King has already... What's the point of you still wanting the Lu family's power? Ah Luo, I can promise you that as long as you help me, when the Night King is gone and the new emperor takes the throne, no matter how difficult it is, I will protect you and the two children."

Lu Yanluo smiled and ignored Lu's proposal: "Your Majesty, don't worry about our prince. You just need to think about whether to use the Lu family to exchange for your and the Seventh Prince's future. I won't force you. Your Majesty can think about it carefully. I will come to ask for an answer in two days."

"A'Luo..." Lu called out subconsciously, but unfortunately Lu Yanluo did not stop and walked away without looking back.

Lu Yanluo was in a bad mood after coming out of the prison. She had never thought that her friendship with Lu would be destroyed by a man.

Not long after returning home, Lu Yanluo went into the palace because she heard that Zhou Sheng had been released and was still working in the palace. This incident had no effect on Zhou Sheng at all, which was really outrageous.

When Lu Yanluo entered the palace, Zhou Sheng had already changed his clothes and was on duty. He looked refreshed and energetic, and it was hard to tell that he had just been released from the imperial prison.

On the side, Consort Xian and another palace concubine were dressed in gorgeous clothes, with hairpins and rings everywhere, talking to Zhou Sheng with smiles on their faces. The distance between them was not too far, and it looked like they just met by chance and talked casually.

When Concubine Xian saw Lu Yanluo walking slowly towards her, the smile on her face gradually faded, and there was a hint of resentment in her eyes. The other concubine also restrained her smile and fell silent.

Mr. Zhou seemed to sense something, and he looked in the direction the two were looking. He was stunned for a moment, then bowed respectfully.

"Your Highness, I join the Night Princess."

Lu Yanluo walked closer and leaned forward slightly: "Greetings, ladies."

Concubine Xian snorted coldly as a response. Concubine Yong beside her nodded slightly and smiled at Lu Yanluo in a friendly manner.

Lu Yanluo stood up and looked at Zhou Sheng with a serious expression: "Guard Zhou has come out of prison?"

"My princess, your majesty is wise and brave. He found out that the incident that day was caused by the imperial concubine's coercion on me. It was not my intention. Therefore, he was particularly lenient and not only released me, but also allowed me to return to my original position."

"You have been reinstated." Lu Yanluo looked Zhou Sheng up and down, pointed at him unceremoniously and said, "Since you have been reinstated, why don't you go to the Taiji Palace to guard, but instead linger in the harem again? Have you not learned your lesson from the past few days? In this case, this princess will take over your duties today. Come! Take down Zhou Sheng who has left his post without permission and punish him with fifty strokes of the cane!"

The guards around responded, but hesitated before arresting Zhou Sheng. After all, Concubine Xian was the master here, and Lu Yanluo was just a princess.

Concubine Xian said sarcastically, "The Night Palace is so arrogant that they dare to run rampant in the palace!"

"Capture her! Didn't you hear what this princess said?" Lu Yanluo shouted harshly without even looking at Concubine Xian.

"Mr. Zhou has left his post without permission and entered the harem privately. The matter of the Imperial Concubine has not been resolved yet, and now he dares to contact the Imperial Concubine. This is a crime of great disrespect. Since the Queen is kind-hearted and unwilling to take action, let the younger generation teach him a lesson and take action!"

What Lu Yanluo said was reasonable. Concubine Xian wanted to refute it, but she didn't dare to say much. If someone else bit back, it would be a waste of time.

Upon seeing this, the guards grabbed Zhou Sheng and took out the executioner's cane, beating him with it 50 times.

Zhou Sheng had been beaten so badly that he could not speak. Lu Yanluo approached him, leaned over to Zhou Sheng, and said word by word: "Master Zhou, God is watching you. If you walk too much at night, you will inevitably encounter ghosts. I advise Master Zhou to keep a low profile and learn from this lesson in the future."

Zhou Sheng wanted to throw the woman in front of him away, but the fact was that he endured the pain in his body and thanked Lu Yanluo: "Thank you for your advice, Princess. I will keep it in mind."

Sooner or later, it will be paid back a million times over!

Lu Yanluo snorted lightly, smiled disdainfully, stood up, faced the direction of Concubine Xian and Concubine Yong, and bowed gently: "It's not dark anymore, I'll take my leave."

After beating the guy and venting her anger, Lu Yanluo turned around gracefully, leaving behind a few people with ferocious faces.

Coming from the direction of the Imperial Garden, just as I was about to pass through the corridor, a little girl appeared at the end of the corridor. It was the Eleventh Princess.

Lu Yanluo had a hunch that the child was waiting for her.

"Princess Eleven, why are you here?"

"I heard everything you just said, Princess Ye." Princess Eleven suddenly knelt down. This was the second person who knelt on the ground to beg her today.

Princess Eleven's eyes were red, and she tried to hold back her tears and said, "Can I beg you to save my mother?"

Everyone in the palace knows that the Eleventh Princess's mother, Concubine Jing, was banished to the cold palace by the emperor in anger because she had an affair with a guard. It has been five years. How can she be saved?

The eleventh princess obviously knew Lu Yanluo's doubts, and she explained, "My mother was wrongly accused. She didn't know the guard at all, and she was accused of having an affair. Because of the Royal Concubine's incident, my father thought of my mother and ordered that my mother and the Royal Concubine be executed together."
