The gate of the Prince of Qin's mansion suddenly opened, and a group of guards rushed out. They quickly surrounded the group of young men in long shirts and did not allow them to leave.
Guan Yu was wearing a wide-sleeved green shirt and waving a feather fan in his hand. He looked at the group of young men and said, "My dear young men, if you want to leave, you must explain everything clearly before you leave."
"Tianyun."
Lu Tianyun walked out of the Prince of Qin's Mansion gracefully. She was wearing a lilac-colored brocade dress with large sleeves, and the two crabapple flowers on her bun were motionless. She had elegant manners, was graceful and dignified, and had a great demeanor. She was truly a lady from a famous family and would one day become the prince's consort.
Her delicate hands were folded on her belly, holding a silk handkerchief embroidered with magnolias on a green background. Her phoenix eyes gazed at the youthful young man, a kind smile on her beautiful face. "I won't make things difficult for you. As long as you write down everything you said today, including whether anyone instructed you to do so, and sign your names, I will let you go. I will not hold you accountable or seek revenge later."
As they listened to Lu Tianyun's words, the young men's faces turned pale and blue.
Hua Fushu immediately understood Lu Tianyun's intention and said, "That's a good idea."
These young men came to the Qin Palace to cause trouble because of a rumor. They were either bribed or instigated by someone.
These teenagers are students in a private school. They are only fourteen or fifteen years old and most of them have simple minds. If they are really instigated and bewitched by someone, the person behind it must be investigated.
Lu Tianyun turned his head and instructed Guan Yu, "Manager Guan Yu, have someone bring some paper and pen. I want to see them finish writing."
"Yes, Princess." Guan Yu immediately accepted the order and ordered someone to bring out the writing desk.
Soon, a dozen servants came out one after another, some holding pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and some carrying tables and desks.
Two long tables were arranged neatly, with pens, ink, paper and inkstone placed upwards.
Lu Tianyun said slowly, "Everyone, please."
"I won't write!"
"I'm the one who wants to write. You guys at the Prince of Qin's Mansion are just intimidating me!"
The teenagers protested, saying they didn’t want to write such things!
However, their protests were doomed to be ineffective.
Lu Tianyun smiled faintly, "How can I force you? You went to my Qin Wang Mansion and caused a scene, isn't that true? Didn't you say those slanderous words against Qin Wang?"
The young men were suddenly speechless and silent.
Guan Yu turned his head and instructed two servants to bring out two chairs.
The servant obeyed the order and soon two chairs were brought out.
"Princess, please take a seat." said a servant.
Another servant also said, "Miss Fushu, please sit down."
Hua Fushu glanced at the servant. Isn’t this servant the younger brother of Tianxuanwei?
Not to mention, wearing the servant's clothes, you really can't tell that he is a specially trained Tianxuan Guard. She sat down openly and watched with Lu Tianyun.
All of these young men had sullen faces, full of reluctance. Guan Yu thought it would take quite a while for them to finish recording, so he ordered the servant beside him, "Bring up a pot of tea. There are mung bean cakes in the kitchen, bring some up as well."
The servant responded and turned back to the house.
The tea is jasmine tea and the pastry is golden mung bean cake.
Hua Fushu took a piece of mung bean cake and ate it while continuing to look at the young men.
The young men were quite determined and remained in a stalemate for half an hour without anyone starting to write.
Guan Yu waved his feather fan and said righteously, "My dear young gentlemen, I advise you to explain yourself clearly. The Prince of Qin's Mansion will not take care of your food, drink, and toilet needs."
I don’t know how long it was, but finally one of the teenagers couldn’t hold it in any longer. He hadn’t drunk any water or gone to the toilet for the entire day. Although it was April and the sun wasn’t very hot, he had been exposed to the sun for most of the day. He was sweating profusely and had to pee urgently, and he could hardly hold it in any longer.
His courage finally softened and he picked up his pen and put it on paper.
"Can I go now?"
The guard nodded, and the boy ran away at a brisk pace.
Once one person took the lead, other young people followed suit and wrote down everything they said and did on paper. Some young people were ambitious and were not afraid of being forced by powerful forces.
Seeing that most of the young men in long shirts had left, Lu Tianyun realized that her goal had been achieved, so she said to Guan Yu, "Manager Guan Yu, that's enough. Let them all go back."
Guan Yu waved his hand and the guards stepped aside.
Suddenly able to leave, the young men walked in a hurry.
Guan Yu collected the notes from the young men on the table and handed them to Lu Tianyun, "Princess, please review this."
Lu Tianyun took the thick stack of papers, flipped through a few of them, and looked very satisfied. Everything that needed to be written was complete.
She said, "Fushu, let's go to the Peony Courtyard."
The two young ladies happily walked through the gate and headed towards the peony courtyard.
Guan Yu ordered the servant to move the desk, writing materials and ink back to the house.
The peonies have been transplanted into the Peony Courtyard, and this season is the time for them to bloom. The flowers, as big as bowls, are stacked layer upon layer, dazzling and gorgeous like brocade.
"Fushu, you came to the Prince of Qin's Mansion because you heard those rumors."
Lu Tianyun was really surprised when she heard those rumors. The protagonist of the rumors was the master of His Royal Highness Prince Qin. She didn't know much about His Royal Highness Prince Qin's master. She heard from Guan Yu and Mu Qing that His Royal Highness treated the Lord of Lanling City like a mother and was very close to him.
She originally wanted to drive away the troublemakers, but Guan Yu stopped her and said that she should wait until the teenagers made trouble for a while before driving them away.
Guan Yu looked at the hourglass and felt that the time was almost up and it was time for them to "invite" these young men to leave. At this moment, he heard the sound of firecrackers outside the gate and Hua Fushu's voice angrily scolding those young men.
Even though they were separated by two doors, they could hear clearly what Hua Fushu said in defense of Lanling City Lord and Qin Youran.
She nodded, "I happened to have some time, so I came to see if Master was in the Prince Qin's Mansion."
Lu Tianyun shook his head, "Master is not at home. Master left the Prince Qin's Mansion two days ago."
After hearing what Lu Tianyun said, Hua Fushu knew in her heart that her master was not in the Prince Qin's Mansion and must have gone somewhere else. Her master's whereabouts have always been mysterious, and sometimes she couldn't guess where her master would go.
The decisive battle at Ziying Mountain is imminent, and the master must still be in Tokyo.
"Fushu, what do you think about your master?" Lu Tianyun thought of the rumor that 'whoever inherits the Mei family's descendants will inherit the world'.
Hua Fushu said seriously, "Tianyun, there are only two things that are most important to my master in his life: researching medicine, and seeking revenge. My master came to the capital not only to attend my senior brother's wedding, but also to personally kill the enemy who wiped out his clan. Because my master's enemy is in the capital, and when my master was still in the capital, such rumors were spread. The person who spread the rumors must have ulterior motives. His purpose is very clear, which is to target my master, to use public pressure to attack my master, and then use the hands of the court and even the people of the world to harm my master."
"My master is indifferent to fame and fortune. She became the Lord of Lanling City because she is the leader of the Xinglin Society. Lanling is the Lanling of the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty is the Song Dynasty of the Zhao family."
