Chapter 234 Begins
Wen Chengye waved his hand and took Lu Yongzhu to the palace.
When Mrs. Lu saw this scene, her heart almost broke.
Since ancient times, the family of a general has been in danger and its family members have had a hard time.
During war, they worry about dying on the battlefield; after war, they worry about being too successful and endangering the emperor. Moreover, the court is dangerous, and most of the generals' families are straightforward, and they use all their brains on arranging troops and battle formations.
She was worried day and night, but she never expected that this day would come.
This may be a farewell forever...
What made Mrs. Lu even more nervous was that Lu Yunzheng had once told her with certainty about his so-called past life.
What her Lu family was experiencing at this moment was very similar to what Lu Yunzheng had described about the Shen family. She remembered that in the end... the entire Shen family was executed!
Seeing the carriage driving out of sight so quickly, Mrs. Lu opened her mouth to scream, but her eyes went dark and she suddenly fell backwards.
"lady!"
Everyone was in a panic and gathered around with cries of grief.
From a distance, when Lu Yunzheng saw this, he felt as if a sharp knife had stabbed into his heart.
His eyes instantly turned red, and almost subconsciously, he raised his foot to take a step forward.
But at this moment, Shen Jiasui's words suddenly flashed through his mind -
"You have to think hard and go all out."
Lu Yunzheng's body suddenly stiffened.
If he revealed his whereabouts at this moment, he would be captured by the Imperial Guards immediately. If he resisted, he would be committing an even greater crime.
Thinking of this, Lu Yunzheng gritted his teeth and forcibly retracted his raised foot.
Seeing his mother being helped up by everyone, but with lifeless eyes and tears streaming down her face, his eyes became sore and tears rolled down.
The next moment, he clenched his hands tightly, and then turned and left.
On the way back to the villa, Lu Yunzheng's mind was in a mess. He didn't know what he was thinking about. He turned on his toes and ran in another direction.
When he arrived, he just saw the carriage carrying Shen Zhengsheng being driven towards the palace.
General Dingguo's mansion was also surrounded by the Imperial Guards, and the atmosphere was depressing and desperate.
Lu Yunzheng saw Ji Wan who was stopped at the gate of the mansion, her face full of sadness and worry. The maids and servants were huddled together, just like everyone else in the Lu Mansion.
He watched quietly for a while, silent, and thought of Shen Jiasui again.
When the two governments were in trouble this time, everyone was mentally prepared and had discussed countermeasures early on. Although they didn't know what the outcome would be, they at least had some idea in their minds.
Even so, seeing such a dangerous scene and seeing his mother's tears, he could not hide his panic.
In the previous life, the incident happened suddenly and the Shen family was caught off guard. They were even confused when they were imprisoned.
At that time, Shen Jiasui should have been...
This was the first time that Lu Yunzheng faced this matter in his mind, but after just a brief thought, his eyes dodged in panic, and he dared not think about it any more.
Past sins are like the scorching sun that can burn people. Just a glance will completely expose the evil, selfishness and unbearableness in your heart.
Lu Yunzheng took a deep breath, then gritted his teeth, turned around and rushed to the villa again.
.......
At the same time, Anyang Marquis’ Mansion.
"Sir, just as you expected, the Imperial Guards surrounded the Shen and Lu residences without explaining the reason, and only took away the two generals!"
Nanfeng walked in quickly from outside and reported as soon as he entered the house.
Jiang Xun raised his head from behind the desk, his eyes showing understanding.
"Your Majesty is very thoughtful. He will definitely leave a way out for Prince Rui no matter what. In that case..."
Jiang Xun slowly stood up and said calmly, "Nanfeng, spread it as I said."
Nan Feng hurriedly cupped his hands and replied, "Yes!"
He turned and went out, and as soon as he stepped out of the room, he brushed past the hurried north wind.
"Sir, the emperor urgently summons you to the palace."
Jiang Xun responded lightly and walked around the long table, obviously already prepared.
As he stepped out of the study, the sunlight poured down on him unreservedly.
Jiang Xun raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the imperial palace; the bright sunlight made him squint slightly.
"Teacher, Sui Sui, it's time to start——"
Jiang Xun murmured softly and walked out quickly.
By the time Jiang Xun's carriage reached the palace gate, the news had spread outside.
It is said that Prince Rui went to the emperor to accuse the Shen and Lu families of treason and collusion with the enemy, and the evidence is solid.
Now that Generals Shen and Lu have been taken into the palace, I’m afraid that soon, the entire family will be executed!
For a moment, there was a great shock in the capital.
Since ancient times, cases of treason and collaboration with the enemy have always involved a wide range of people, causing panic in the streets, alleys, teahouses and restaurants, and no one dared to speak loudly.
All the high-ranking officials were worried and sent their trusted aides to investigate.
Then the news spread quickly to every corner of the capital as if it had wings.
Some people among the people have praised that it was Prince Rui who had a keen eye and a keen vision. When everyone else was deceived, he discovered in time that Shen Zhengsheng and Lu Yongzhu were in cahoots with each other, so that no big mistake was made.
Some people also murmured secretly after hearing this, no matter how insightful Prince Rui is, can he be more powerful than the emperor?
How come His Majesty is unaware of this, and Prince Rui is...
Furthermore, the aftermath of the investigation into the Ministry of Personnel was not yet over, and with this sudden incident, the incident in which the Minister of Personnel was reported by dozens of people was suppressed.
If they remembered correctly, the Minister of Personnel...is Prince Rui's grandfather, right?
Here it seems...
As they spoke, everyone looked at each other and dared not say anything.
Rumors were like wild horses running free of their reins, with no certainty, so everyone turned their eyes to the vermilion palace walls, waiting for the definitive truth.
......
The other side.
Lu Yao, following Zhao Huailang's orders, led a group of secret guards to the villa where Gu Xizhi was.
When he reached the outside of the courtyard wall, he gestured to his men, then leaped into the villa.
The courtyard is not big and the main house is clearly visible.
Lu Yao pushed the door open and walked in, only to find that the room was quiet. There was only a person lying on the couch. From the back, she had a slender figure and was undoubtedly a woman.
Lu Yao immediately walked up quickly, stretched out his hand to push the woman on the couch, and said in a calm voice:
"Miss Gu, the prince has sent his subordinates to pick you up."
The person on the couch seemed to be fast asleep and did not respond.
Lu Yao frowned upon seeing this. After all, he was a man of the world and didn't care about so many rules. Not bringing his subordinates in with him was already considered abiding by the broken rules about separation between men and women.
So he used force on his hands to turn the person on the couch over, and his voice became louder: "Miss Gu."
However, what came into view was a familiar face.
Lu Yao's expression changed slightly.
Isn’t this Hong Tao, the girl that the prince sent to serve Gu Xizhi?
Snap——
At this moment, a sudden sound came from behind.
Lu Yao pulled out the soft sword from his waist with a whoosh, glanced back, and was stunned again.
A person walked out from behind the screen in the side room. Wasn't it Gu Xizhi?
"Miss Gu, what do you mean?"
Lu Yao lowered his hands and asked in a cold voice.
