Therefore, I cannot accept the princess's feelings!
Upon hearing this, Princess Chaoyang was completely stunned. She had imagined what kind of reason Lu Peiran would give for refusing her.
But this reason was something she had never even considered!
Even the emperor was slightly taken aback and looked at Lu Heng, the head of the Lu family and Lu Peiran's father.
Lu Heng was also shocked by his son's statement, but he understood his son's intentions.
I couldn't help but sigh inwardly, wondering what terrible things I had done!
The Lu family has a thousand-year-old tradition of harmony and has never experienced any discord among its brothers. Unexpectedly, such a thing has happened with his son...
Lu Peiran's mother, who had been standing behind and watching the situation with trepidation, could no longer suppress her dizziness upon hearing her son's words.
Even a woman like her knew the consequences of saying such things in front of the Emperor.
She only has two sons, whom she has always cherished dearly.
The eldest son was taken away by the patriarch and raised by her personally from a young age, while the second son was raised by her own hands, so their relationship was naturally very special.
Needless to say, her second son is a thoughtful and filial son, and she has long been looking for the best daughter-in-law for him.
But unexpectedly, she received this news!
Her beloved son was going to become a monk at the age of twenty!
All of this is the fault of Princess Chaoyang! How many more people will this willful and capricious princess harm before she's satisfied?
Unable to contain her resentment, Lu Peiran's mother fainted, causing the surrounding maids to panic.
The situation with the women did not attract much attention. The emperor simply stared at Lu Peiran, who looked completely calm, and then called out Lu Heng's name.
"Lu Qingjia, are all these things your second son said true?"
Lu Heng sighed, stepped out from among the officials, and knelt respectfully on the ground, saying, "Indeed! My son is so useless, Your Majesty must be ashamed."
The ministers and their families were shocked by how things unfolded and began to discuss it amongst themselves.
Princess Chaoyang, enraged and embarrassed, grabbed a wine cup and threw it at Lu Peiran and his son.
"Your Lu family has some nerve! How dare you mock this princess like this! Guards, drag them away and behead them!"
The Lu family is a large family with a history of thousands of years. It existed long before the establishment of this dynasty, so its power is deeply rooted.
Upon seeing the princess utter such outrageous words, someone immediately stepped forward and said, "Princess, you mustn't! The Lu family is full of loyal ministers and generals who have made countless contributions to our dynasty!"
How could they kill the Lu family patriarch and his son simply because of the thoughts of one of their children? This is the head of the Lu family!
Once one person spoke up, the others followed suit and pleaded for leniency.
Looking at the ministers kneeling all over the ground below, the emperor's face darkened.
Good! It turns out that, without anyone noticing, more than half of the court officials had sided with the Lu family...
Princess Chaoyang naturally saw this as well, but she lacked the emperor's patience and blurted it out.
"So many of you are speaking in favor of the Lu family, do you even know who your ruler really is?!"
I think you're planning a rebellion!
