Chapter 15: The Paranoid Emperor vs. the Convicted Minister's Wife



"The deposed prince is in Huaizhou, let's catch him off guard!" Shen Yunxiao thought for a moment and made up his mind.

Hua Wuyang also leaned over and looked at the letter and map. Huaizhou was not far from the capital, separated by two big cities.

It seems that he has already established himself as the king over there. If we leave him alone, he will become a threat in a few months!

Hua Wuyang paused as he wiped the blood. "Ah? Aren't we being too hasty? Mei Liangxin was captured, and right after that we came to kill them. Aren't they prepared?"

"That's exactly the idea!" Shen Yunxiao looked at the sky, asked Eunuch Ma to prepare half a month's worth of dry food and water bottles, and then took Hua Wuyang to the garrison outside Beijing to select soldiers.

Lu Jinyue had no idea that Chen Yunxiao and Hua Wuyang were leading the troops to war. She was currently recuperating in the Qianqing Palace. She had been unconscious for the entire day, sleeping all the time except for meals.

It was not until the night was dark that I woke up.

After resting for a day, she felt much better and the wound was not so painful anymore.

As expected, it is produced by the system mall, and the efficacy is guaranteed.

"Why hasn't the emperor come back yet?" Lu Jinyue asked Baozhen after glancing at the night scene outside the window. In the past, he would have come back by this time.

"The emperor came back at noon and told me to take good care of Miss Lu. He and General Hua had already led the troops to the battle." Baozhen didn't know the rest of the story.

Lu Jinyue nodded thoughtfully. Does that mean she'll be alone in the empty room tonight?

This was really too sudden. She couldn't help feeling sad when she thought about having no one by her side.

"Why is the emperor so anxious? It seems that I will have to spend this long night alone tonight or in the future." His tone was sad and the corners of his mouth could not be suppressed from rising.

Baozhen took a look at her expression and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. When the late emperor was still alive, she had seen many of his concubines. Every concubine fought to the death for favor. None of them looked as lively and bright as Lu Jinyue.

Without Shen Yunxiao's interruption, Lu Jinyue indeed had a good sleep.

The next day, I slept until I woke up naturally. "Miss Lu, you can't get out of bed! Your injury hasn't healed yet!"

The one who came today was Baohuan, and she was already well. "It's you, your injury is almost healed?" Lu Jinyue looked at Baohuan with surprise when she saw her.

Seeing that she was in good spirits and moving skillfully, I felt happy for her.

Baohuan nodded happily and thanked her sincerely, "If it weren't for the medicine you gave me, I would have to lie down for several more months."

Lu Jinyue enjoyed her service and didn't have to wash herself. It felt so good.

But after just an hour she no longer thought so.

Because she had a full sleep yesterday, she couldn't fall asleep today, and her back would be sore if she slept any longer.

In order to help her pass the time, Baohuan told her a lot of gossip.

For example, on New Year's Eve, Hua Xue Ning, the daughter of General Hua, actually quarreled with the daughter of the Jia family. The reason for the quarrel was Lu Jinyue who was beside Shen Yunxiao.

"Me?" Lu Jinyue pointed at her nose, looking confused.

How could she not know that by concentrating on her career, she had become a trigger in the eyes of others?

"Yes!" Baohuan nodded, "Miss Hua and Miss Jia both like the emperor."

Is there anyone who likes such a tyrant?

The only redeeming quality about Shen Yunxiao is his face. How can anyone like him with such a violent personality?

Lu Jinyue didn't believe it.

Of course, Lu Jinyue could only complain about this in her heart and didn't dare to say it openly, even if Shen Yunxiao was not here.

"Isn't this simple? Wouldn't it be better for the emperor to take them both into the palace?" She was alone now, and it was a bit too lonely.

"The emperor has no such plan. A minister once advised him to take a concubine, but he refused. The old man actually hit his head against the wall and died in the hall!" Baohuan said this with such confidence that Lu Jinyue exclaimed, "What a guy!"

Although she could guess the reason, she could only keep this secret in her heart. If she told others, she would be doomed.

Baohuan talked like this for the whole morning. After lunch, Baohuan wanted to continue, but Lu Jinyue was not in the mood to listen.

"Baohuan, can you come out of the palace and help me with something?"

"Of course I can. We have two chances to leave the palace every month," Baohuan said.

"Take me to see him." Lu Jinyue said directly.

Baohuan naturally refused. Lu Jinyue had just suffered such a serious injury. The imperial physician said at the time that if the sword had deviated by just two inches, even a god would not have been able to save Miss Lu!

How could she let Miss Lu take such a big risk!

Seeing that Baohuan refused to agree no matter what she said, Lu Jinyue lowered her demands.

"Please help me go to the prison to see my brother and see if he is safe." Lu Jinyue was really worried about her brother, but Baohuan refused to take her out, so she had to let Baohuan do it for her.

Baohuan naturally agreed, took the things Lu Jinyue gave her and left in a hurry.

Lu Mingchuan was imprisoned in the Dali Temple's prison. If he wanted to visit him, he would have to make some arrangements.

It was an hour later when I saw Lu Mingchuan.

"Who sent you here?" Lu Mingchuan was punished. Although the injuries were not fatal, he was seriously injured.

"It's Miss Lu," Baohuan answered truthfully. "She wants me to ask Master Lu why he behaved this way. The Lu family has clearly left the capital, so there's no need for them to get involved in this kind of trouble."

When talking about this, Lu Mingchuan's eyes were filled with sadness and resentment.

That night was the most difficult and darkest time in his life. Arrows and hidden weapons were flying towards them. In order to protect him, his grandmother was shot to death, and his mother and brother were injured. How could he not avenge such a grudge?

Baohuan was stunned after hearing this. She told Lu Jinyue every word without missing a word, and Lu Jinyue also looked confused.

As Shen Yunxiao's bedmate, she didn't even know that he had done so many bad things that hurt the Lu family!

At first, she thought that there must be some unknown misunderstanding behind Lu Mingchuan's sudden entry into the palace, but now that she heard Baozhen's account with her own ears, she felt that it must be an ironclad fact.

Lu Jinyue's nails dug deep into her palms without her realizing it, and she took several deep breaths before calming down.

Now that Shen Yunxiao is no longer in the palace, she can’t do it for him in person even if she wants to.

"Do you know where the emperor went?" Lu Jinyue asked.

"I didn't know that Miss Lu is still injured. It would be better for her to rest well." Baohuan advised her to lie down and rest, and tucked the corners of the quilt for her.

Lu Jinyue had no choice. She had suffered such a serious sword wound. If she said she could recover in a day or two, no one would believe it.

But when she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with the scene of Lu Mingchuan being arrested, and her heart was filled with grief.

"No, I still have to ask him in person tomorrow!" Lu Jinyue made up her mind before slowly falling asleep.
