When Mother Lu heard her say this, she was slightly shocked and then fell silent.
Yes, what can a little girl like Jin Yue do when facing an emperor who is violent and capricious?
The world is already very harsh on women. If this gets out, how will her daughter live her life?
There were no candles in the room, and even with a few windows open, the light was a little dim.
Lu Jinyue raised her head slightly, revealing her fair neck, and the marks hidden under her clothes were faintly visible.
Mother Lu saw the clue at a glance, but she couldn't ask.
"But that guy didn't say that at the beginning." Mother Lu clenched her fist and pounded the table, making a dull sound, as if this was the only way to vent her resentment.
Lu Jinyue waited quietly for what was to come. She wanted to see how Ye Zhixing was going to frame her.
"That night, he came to our house dressed strangely..." Mother Lu spoke slowly, as if she was recalling the past.
That night, as soon as they left the hospital, they were almost shot to death by arrows.
Grandmother died, and Lu's mother and younger brother were also injured.
Just when everyone thought they were at their wit's end, Shen Yunheng appeared.
He was riding on a tall horse, wearing armor, and the emerald green peacock feather on his helmet made him look majestic. He was also injured, but he still blocked the arrows for the Lu family.
"Chen Yunxiao is incompetent and cruel, killing innocent people indiscriminately! He must kill the Lu family just like he did to the Ye family!" He was full of righteousness, raised his sword, and cut off the arrow that was about to be shot at Lu's father.
The Lu family was as panicked as trapped beasts. When they saw someone coming to rescue them, they felt like they had grabbed a life-saving straw and were rescued by Shen Yunheng and brought into the mansion.
"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, you have seen it! The current emperor Shen Yunxiao is cruel and merciless, and he takes human life lightly. In his eyes, people like us are just ants that can be crushed to death at will! Besides, Jinyue is still in his hands, and I really can't accept it!" Ye Zhixing cried bitterly, full of resentment towards Shen Yunxiao, but he did not mention a word about his flattering face when he abandoned Lu Jinyue.
Since they entered the mansion, someone has been watching them all day long, under the euphemistic name of serving them. Now I think it should be house arrest, right?
After listening to what Lu's mother said, Lu Jinyue sneered.
Who is so foolish and unjust that he kills innocent people?
If all the members of the Lu family died tragically, he, Shen Yunheng, could declare to the public that the Lu family died at the hands of Shen Yunxiao.
Shen Yunxiao is extremely cruel. Not only does he rob people's wives and daughters, he also massacres innocent people. If such a person becomes emperor, Da Rui will sooner or later perish!
The day after the assassination, the whole town was in ruins.
With Shen Yunheng's mansion as the center, there were complaints all around, most of which were insulting the current emperor for being inhuman and killing innocent people.
Shen Yunxiaode is unworthy of his position. People with lofty ideals should rise up and overthrow this tyranny together!
After hearing the public outrage, the people were so enraged that some young and strong laborers joined the uprising, vowing to defend their homes to the death and supporting the former crown prince Shen Yunheng as emperor.
Because of this argument, the young and middle-aged people in several remote towns have joined Shen Yunheng's team.
For a time, Shen Yunxiao's reputation among the people was in jeopardy.
But after hearing this, Shen Yunxiao seemed very calm. He had sophisticated weapons in his hands, so he was not afraid that Shen Yunheng would not come!
"Your brother even volunteered to assassinate the emperor! Was he killed or imprisoned?" Mother Lu was about to cry again when she thought of Lu Mingchuan.
"Mother, my brother tried to assassinate the emperor in public. If I hadn't blocked the sword for the emperor and hadn't had a reason to plead for him, he might still be suffering now." Lu Jinyue helped Lu's mother sit down.
"What? Are you injured? Where are you injured?" Mother Lu anxiously pulled her up and down to look her up and down, accidentally pulling open her collar.
The purple marks were suddenly exposed to the air, and the mother and daughter were stunned.
"Ahem, Mom, I'm fine now." Lu Jinyue hurriedly covered her collar, a suspicious blush appearing on her face.
Mother Lu was an experienced person, so she naturally knew what was going on. Moreover, judging from Lu Jinyue's state, she seemed to have no regrets or hatred, only the shyness of a little girl...
"Jin Yue, you...and the emperor, you..." Mother Lu hesitated, wanting to ask but unable to, after all, this was her daughter's bedroom matter.
Lu Jinyue nodded unnaturally, and added, "The emperor treats me very well. Although he wanted to kill me at the beginning, he is very nice to me now." As for what the process was like, it doesn't matter.
Just like the "omit" in math answers, it's simple enough to drive people crazy.
Mother Lu suppressed her pounding heart and drank a cup of tea.
She felt a little relieved.
As long as my daughter is alive, that's enough.
When Lu's mother wanted to ask something, news came from the front yard that Lu Mingchuan had returned.
Both mother and daughter stood up happily, tidied themselves up and hurried out.
As soon as they arrived at the living room, they saw Lu Mingchuan hugging his father and younger brother and crying bitterly, while Shen Yunxiao sat in the upper seat and drank tea calmly.
Lu Mingchuan was locked up in a cell for several days, and except for the interrogation on the first day, he was treated as a normal prisoner.
With Lu Jinyue's help, he lived more comfortably there.
In the morning, General Hua, who had escorted him here, suddenly told him that he could go home. He was enthusiastic and all the members of the Lu family had been taken to the Lu residence by the emperor, so he could go home directly.
In the prison, I could only see the sky outside through a tiny window, and I had watched the sun rise and the moon set countless times.
Now standing in the sun, he instinctively blocked it with his hands.
It wasn't until he realized he could actually go home that he felt alive again.
His parents and younger brother are still waiting for him at home!
When he ran to the door of his house excitedly, he noticed that the guards guarding the door were not the doormen and servants from before.
He was stunned for a moment, and then the guards at the door grabbed him as a vagrant and took him to the living room.
"Dad! Mom! Brother! Are you all okay?" Lu Mingchuan hugged his father and saw his mother and Lu Jinyue rushing over. Tears kept rolling down his face.
Mother Lu walked forward with red eyes and patted his arm, surprised and happy, with a hint of reproach.
"You kid! How could you be so disobedient that you actually committed an assassination!" Lu's mother was in a coma at the time, her life or death uncertain, and she had no idea that Lu Mingchuan was involved in the assassination.
Lu Mingchuan didn't dare to hide and endured it. After all, Lu's mother wouldn't really hit him.
Lu Jinyue watched the family reunite, tears welling up in her eyes. She turned her head to wipe away her tears, sniffed, and sorted herself out.
"Brother, don't act rashly in the future. The former prince has ulterior motives. He used you and wanted us to kill each other!" Lu Jinyue said with a serious face.
