Chapter 197



Soon after Luo Shenyuan finished his breakfast, he immediately went to deal with the remaining matters.

He took a carriage and went to the prison to see Lu Jiaxue first.

Lu Jiaxue was lying down drinking tea, looking half dead, but his expression was very calm.

Ever since he saved Luo Yining, he seemed to have untied a knot in his heart. He became even freer than before and didn't care about being in prison.

Maybe it's because I finally completed something I regretted.

"Master Luo is here!" Lu Jiaxue laughed sarcastically. He had no respect for someone who was impressed by a woman.

Luo Shenyuan stood before him, and he suddenly remembered that this was the cell where Yang Ling had been imprisoned. He had half-knelt there, holding Yang Ling's hand as he listened to his last words.

Then he decided to let righteousness exist forever between heaven and earth.

No matter what way or means.

"I know what you are thinking." Luo Shenyuan slowly walked to Lu Jiaxue with a light tone.

This young man, who was once humble before him, now moves with great momentum, has lofty ambitions, and uses unscrupulous and ruthless methods.

It’s really amazing.

Lu Jiaxue smiled and asked, "Did the Lord take his anger out on Yining?"

Luo Shenyuan glanced at him and said, "Do you know how easy it is for you to die? Since you cherish the life she saved, don't irritate me."

Lu Jiaxue fell silent, as if he had returned to being a concubine's son in a marquis's mansion, with nothing.

Luo Shenyuan leaned over, looked at the blood-soaked bandages on his body, smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you die. But - don't even think about coming back in this lifetime. I'm only here to see you one last time. I'll send you to the border in half a month."

"As for what happened between you and her in the past, after all, it's the past." Luo Shenyuan stood up and walked out of the cell.

He finally said softly, "Goodbye, Lord Lu."

Lu Jiaxue stopped talking. Only when he saw Luo Shenyuan disappear did he clench the beads in his hand.

Her voice echoed in my ears, interwoven in the dim light of the cell, as bright as spring sunshine: "Lu Jiaxue, why did you marry me?... Lu Jiaxue, why did you laugh at my ugly handwriting? What's so beautiful about Epiphyllum?... Lu Jiaxue, the dog you brought home is so ugly!" The last voice was, "Does it hurt? Lu Jiaxue, does it hurt?"

He closed his eyes and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It hurts, Luo Yining.

The spring breeze in February is like a pair of scissors. The snow in the yard has melted long ago, and the water in the small pond has slowly risen.

In early spring, the lotus leaves have new pointed buds and light pink buds.

Baoger, sitting in his nurse's arms, stretched out his hands to catch the drooping willow branches, grabbed a handful of tender shoots, and turned back to show Yining, "My Lady, My Lady."

Luo Yining hugged him and touched his back, and found that he was not sweating.

She was stunned by the spring scene in front of her.

The outcome of the palace coup finally came: Zhou Yingyou was beheaded, the empress was deposed, and the third prince was imprisoned. The eldest prince successfully ascended the throne. As expected, the emperor did not kill Lu Jiaxue, but instead demoted him several ranks, sending him to the remote Shuozhou Guard to serve as a sinecure. After a month of recuperation, he was immediately sent to Shuozhou Guard. Although it was called a sinecure, Luo Shenyuan personally sent people to monitor him. Perhaps one day, if a foreign invader came, he would once again become the powerful Governor Lu. If not, the emperor would continue to suppress him, and he would never be promoted.

As long as the alien race is not destroyed, Lu Jiaxue will never die.

Luo Yining suddenly realized this truth. Because in this respect, no one could compare to him.

She thought of Lu Jiaxue and could only remain silent. She owed him more than she could repay, and this was her last act of help. She hoped he would have a better life at the border, better than in the capital...better than when she was around.

To avoid implicating his family, Cheng Lang surrendered. The emperor, venting his anger, had executed a large number of people, but now that his anger had subsided, he became submissive. Cheng Lang was demoted to a commoner, but he didn't mind it. He followed Master Cheng to Hangzhou on business. He even visited Luo Yining's children and left gifts for Bao Ge'er, but his father threw them all into the warehouse, never to be opened again.

When he left Northern Zhili, he brought back a three-year-old child.

After seeing the child, Xie Yun never mentioned the child again. Only she knew the many feelings in her heart.

Since the coup, Luo Shenyuan has become a prominent figure in the imperial court. However, he is now in opposition to Wang Yuan, and it is unclear when this battle will end.

Lin Hairu sat behind Luo Yining, holding her hand. Luo Yining came back to her senses and heard someone ask her, "When will you tell him?"

"Let's wait until he comes back." Luo Yining handed the jumping Bao Ge'er to the wet nurse. She was not in a hurry at all. "He's only two months old."

Lin Hairu looked at her belly and sighed softly: "If another kid pops out of your belly, Luo San will have a headache--" There is one more person grabbing the bed, one more young boy, but none of them are as caring as a daughter.

Bao Ge'er has recently learned to talk. He clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Daddy! I have a headache!"

Lin Hairu was amused by him and tapped his forehead: "Oh, you are still happy!"

Outside, the cabinet minister had returned, exhausted from dealing with the remnants of Zhou Yingyou's gang. Yi Ning offered him tea and chatted with him for a long time. Luo Shenyuan spoke to her intermittently, perhaps lost in thought. Finally, Yi Ning said, "Oh, by the way, do I have something to tell you?"

Luo Shenyuan looked up: "Hmm?"

Finally came back to your senses!

Luo Yining said, "Your son might be having a brother or sister." It was only two months old, and if Bao Ge'er hadn't recently lost his appetite and she hadn't seen a doctor, she wouldn't have known. But as she shared the news with him, the corners of her mouth kept curling up.
