Soon... the world will be in chaos...
Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from the darkness, followed by several black figures slicing through the night sky and quickly disappearing outside the Lu residence.
The next day, the entire Lu residence was bustling with activity.
Lu Peiran stood in the dark room, silently watching the servants outside carrying luggage.
The door behind me creaked open, and someone walked in.
"Second Young Master, the Master wants you to go to the council hall."
Lu Peiran silently turned around, "Let's go."
The guards led Lu Peiran from the secluded garden to the council hall.
When he arrived, the place was already full of people, all of whom were direct descendants of the Lu family.
Seeing that Lu Peiran had also been brought in, they all showed a hint of surprise on their faces.
Although they had many questions in their minds, most of them refrained from asking them because of Lu Heng sitting in the hall.
Lu Peiran ignored the stares and went straight to his seat.
Beside him, Lu Jinran glanced at him again and again, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Second brother, when did you get back?"
Lu Peiran's expression was indifferent. "The day before yesterday."
Lu Jinran couldn't help but frown. "You came back the day before yesterday, so why did you only show up today?"
We've been so... We've been so...
Lu Peiran interrupted him, "Brother, now is not the time to say such things."
Lu Jinran was speechless, looking at her younger brother whom she hadn't seen for two years, feeling a sense of unfamiliarity.
Although he had some unpleasantness with his younger brother because of Princess Chaoyang.
However, Lu Peiran was his only younger brother. The two brothers grew up together, so how could their relationship not be good?
In the past two years, he often thought of his younger brother and wondered how he was doing.
He had wanted to visit his younger brother, but his father stopped him.
Under his father's orders, family members were not allowed to visit Lu Peiran at will, nor were they allowed to inquire about him.
Therefore, Lu Jinran was very happy to see Lu Peiran return.
However, although he was happy, he couldn't utter any touching words.
The two brothers eventually drifted apart...
Amidst the various thoughts on everyone's minds, Lu Heng, seated at the head of the table, gently tapped the table.
The crowd in the hall fell silent instantly, looking at Lu Heng with respect.
In front of all the Lu family members present, Lu Heng said calmly, "You all know the situation in the capital, which is very unfavorable to us."
Currently, the Emperor is obsessed with alchemy, and Princess Chaoyang holds absolute power.
You should know very well what kind of person Princess Chaoyang is.
These days, she can't wait to take action against our Lu family.
Last night I received news that Princess Chaoyang and the Emperor, on the advice of those Taoist priests, are preparing to build large-scale Taoist temples in various places.
The person in charge of this matter was Princess Chaoyang.
Using this incident as a pretext, she had already prepared a trap in the palace.
We're bound to be the target of any controversy if we attend this banquet, but what exactly that controversy will be remains to be seen.
What are your thoughts on this matter?
