Shen Yunxiao prides himself on being upright and honest in his actions, and usually seeks revenge directly, except when dealing with Ye Zhixing.
Now when he heard Lu Mingchuan say that he sent people to assassinate the Lu family, he felt like he was hearing a joke.
Hua Wuyang also frowned, looking at Shen Yunxiao solemnly. His good brother, however, seemed to take this matter lightly, twirling around in front of the various torture instruments with ease. "Why are you silent? Are you trying to torture me now that I've exposed your dirty and despicable methods?"
Lu Mingchuan spat in the direction of Shen Yunxiao, and Hua Wuyang, feeling disgusted, couldn't help but punch him.
"I have never sent anyone to assassinate the Lu family. I know you all despise my cruelty and ruthlessness and wish to kill me. But so what? I have the most elite soldiers and the most sophisticated weapons in the world. You can't touch me in the slightest."
Shen Yunxiao raised his chin proudly, his face smug.
Lu Mingchuan gritted his teeth at him but remained silent.
This man is the eldest son of the Lu family and also the eldest brother of that woman. If he is killed like this, it might not be so fun.
Shen Yunxiao blew on the tongs that were red from the burning charcoal. The top of the tongs was made into a flat triangle with the word "奸" engraved on it.
If someone gets hit in the face like this, their life will be ruined.
"You, what do you want to do! A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated! Tyrant, don't humiliate me in this way!" Lu Mingchuan felt the heat coming towards his face, and he instinctively shrank back.
"To me, you are a traitor, what's the problem?" Shen Yunxiao pretended to burn his face.
Lu Mingchuan closed his eyes in fear. "Forget it, I'm not interested anymore. Wu Yang, I'll give you three days to find out what's going on."
It is really puzzling why Lu Mingchuan, who was thousands of miles away from the Lu family, suddenly entered the palace to assassinate him.
Hua Wuyang agreed and watched Shen Yunxiao leave. When he got outside, the cold wind made him feel much more sober.
Putting aside Lu Mingchuan’s affairs, he actually started to worry about Lu Jinyue.
He paused, thinking that he might be going crazy.
Snowflakes fell on his face and hair, and then dissipated in the wind.
Forget it, considering that this woman is about to die, I should think about her a little.
Lu Jinyue slept restlessly in her bedroom. Sometimes she dreamed of completing all her KPIs and successfully resurrecting in the modern era. Other times, she dreamed of Shen Yunxiao chasing her to the present day, standing in the crowd, gazing at her sinisterly. She shuddered with fear, and the surrounding scene quickly dissolved and distorted like snowflakes, revealing its original, dark form.
The next thing she saw was Shen Yunxiao, who had already appeared in front of her and stabbed her hard.
In an instant, a clear pain spread throughout her body and penetrated deep into her bones. She groaned in pain, and her eyelashes trembled as she opened her eyes.
"Don't, don't kill me, it hurts." Lu Jinyue was in a daze. Shen Yunxiao reached out and found that she had a fever again.
This time he didn't throw her directly into the bathtub. After all, she had just been wounded by a sword and the bleeding had just stopped, so she couldn't touch water.
He wanted to give this woman a good time, but hesitated when he touched her hot skin.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally decided to let her have a good rest.
He asked Baozhen to bring some water over, and he personally washed her to cool her down.
Although Baozhen was shocked, she lowered her head and hid the shock in her eyes very well.
"Don't get me wrong, I just have something to ask her, she can't die yet." Shen Yunxiao, who was used to being served by others, felt very awkward seeing Baozhen next to him, and actually started to explain.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that he was sick. He was the emperor of Da Rui! Did he need to explain to others what he did?
"Yes." Baozhen responded softly, wishing she could disappear right there, but the emperor didn't tell her to leave, so she wouldn't dare to do so even if she had ten thousand guts.
Lu Jinyue felt a coolness all over her body. Without hesitation, she clung to that coolness and pressed her face against it. After a while, she let out a small sigh.
Shen Yunxiao, whose arm was hugged by her, had a blank expression on his face. He tried to pull his hand out but it didn't move at all.
Only then did he remember Lu Jinyue's strange strength, so he simply threw the handkerchief away, took advantage of the situation, and started to show off.
"Go away." Baozhen was really an eyesore here, so he waved his hand and drove her away.
Baozhen retreated hastily as if she had been pardoned.
This New Year's Eve was destined to be a sleepless night for these court ministers.
After Hua Wuyang's investigation, he actually found some information. The reason why Lu Mingchuan was able to infiltrate the guard so easily was because he had the support of Deputy General Mei. With his people in the guard, replacing someone else became a simple matter.
Deputy General Mei led three thousand elite soldiers to station in the suburbs of Beijing. After Hua Wuyang learned this result, he led his men to rush over and bring the man to justice.
But when he got there, he found that Deputy General Mei and several of his close associates had disappeared overnight.
"This old fox knew that his crime would be exposed a long time ago, so he escaped overnight?" There were many checkpoints for the deputy general to leave the city, so this person must have disguised himself and taken a secret passage. The double insurance prevented him from being discovered in time.
Hua Wuyang rode on a tall horse, looked at the dark mountain road, and pounded the saddle in annoyance.
With three thousand elite soldiers left unattended, he temporarily served as a staff officer and acting deputy general, and returned with the news.
Hua Wuyang had to juggle several duties that night. His father and mother couldn't bear to see him working so hard, so it was already dawn, and his father took advantage of his job to bring him back home.
When Lu Jinyue woke up, she felt a pain in her neck. When she saw the strong arms under her neck, she regained consciousness.
Did she sleep with her head resting on his arm last night? Turning around, he met a pair of eyes full of resentment. She smiled awkwardly, moved back, and motioned for him to take his arm back.
But the slightest movement caused the wound to hurt so much that her face turned pale.
"I told you not to show off. If it weren't for me, you would have died long ago." Shen Yunxiao shook his sore arms, and her pale face was reflected in his clean and refreshing eyes.
Lu Jinyue thanked him in a low voice, "If the emperor believes me, I will definitely give birth to an heir for you one day. But the prerequisite is that you must make me the queen."
Is becoming the queen so important to her? She almost died last night.
"Why do you want to be the queen?" Shen Yunxiao asked.
"Who doesn't want status? Didn't Ye Zhixing bring me home in a sedan chair carried by eight men? That was the most glorious time of my life, I think." Lu Jinyue said this, a hint of nostalgia on her face. It's unclear whether she was still nostalgic for Ye Zhixing, or for the glory of being brought home in a sedan chair carried by eight men.
