Chapter 73 The Palace Chaos of Those Years

Lu Huaihe's eyes sparkled as he spoke. Su He thought of the glass of wine and guessed something. After a moment's hesitation, he said softly, "Take care of yourself."

"Okay."

After Su He left, Lu Huaihe leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes for a while. He tapped lightly with his fingers on the armrest, and the door was pushed open.

Baili Feng sneered when he saw him, "You want to get married, why didn't you send me an invitation?"

Lu Huaihe blinked and said in a clear voice, "My wife may not want to see you."

Baili Feng's airs collapsed instantly. He glanced at the opposite side dimly, and didn't care whose chopsticks it was. He sat down and started eating. He took a big bite and asked vaguely, "You are also standing with that fox to deal with this prince?"

First, Su He framed the conspirator Lu Zhili who was recruited by him, and then Lu Huaihe came to ask Su He to marry him. Isn't this a clear intention of protecting him?

"Second Prince, you are worrying too much. The Dali Temple is under the Emperor."

Lu Huaihe only obeyed the Emperor's orders. The struggle for imperial power in the court was a dispute among the princes and had nothing to do with him directly.

Baili Feng ate and drank a lot for a while, put the chopsticks on the table with a slap, wiped his mouth a few times, and smiled with some self-mockery: "You are happy..."

Unlike him, he is alone.

During the holidays, he doesn't even have a close person to talk to.

"Why didn't you continue to investigate at the beginning?" Baili Feng turned his head and looked over. This time, his eyes were deep and dark, unlike the previous wantonness.

His mother was the once-favored Concubine Rong Gui, who was rumored to have committed adultery with the Prince of Jin. With all the evidence, the emperor was furious and ordered her to be killed with a cup of poisoned wine and sent to the palace of Prince Yan.

The entire family of the Prince of Jin was killed, leaving no one alive.

Thinking of the first case he took over the Dali Temple, Lu Huaihe slightly bent his fingers, rubbing his fingertips, and said sympathetically: "When I first took over the Dali Temple, many things were controlled by others. That case has always been a knot in my heart."

His eyes were dark and unclear, and an inexplicable meaning surged.

Lu Huaihe was only seventeen years old when he took the position of the Dali Temple. At that time, there was a major case in the palace, which was related to the reputation of the concubine and the Prince of Jin, and he was specially commissioned to investigate the matter.

It was not that he had no clues during the investigation, but that someone was suppressing him. Lu Huaihe had just emerged and was inexperienced, so he was controlled by others everywhere. Later, the emperor issued two decrees of punishment, sentencing Concubine Rong to death and Prince Jin to exterminate his family. This case shocked the entire capital!

On the night of the execution, Lu Huaihe sat on the steps of the Dali Temple all night, staring at the evidence he had found. Later, he realized that the nature of some cases could not be exposed to the public.

When talking about the case many years ago, Lu Huaihe was somewhat depressed.

Baili Feng propped his head with one hand and played with an empty bowl with the other. His slightly red eyes raised and his mouth curled up with a hint of mockery: "It is precisely because there is no one to help and no one to rely on that this prince will devote everything to it. You can't stop me, and Baili Jun can't stop me. As for the old emperor... Hehe, he killed my mother, I want him to live a life worse than death!"

When talking about his father, Baili Feng's words were full of contempt. In his heart, the two had long been opponents.

Lu Huaihe did not answer.

Baili Feng stood up, smashed the empty bowl in his hand to the ground, shook off the fragments that fell on the corner of his clothes, stood up and looked at him, and said coldly: "I failed to protect the person I wanted to protect, can you guys get away with it? Overthrowing the Su family is a step in my plan, and I will never let them go just because you married Su Ronghai's daughter."

Even if he can't be the crown prince or the new emperor in the end, it doesn't matter. As long as the court becomes smoky and miasma, as long as the old emperor can die with regret, everything is worth it!

"If Concubine Rong Gui was still alive, she wouldn't want to see you torturing yourself like this. From now on, Su He is my wife. If she accidentally offends you, I will pay for her, but if you intend to deal with her... I will protect her at any cost, just like you."

Baili Feng sneered: "She is just a woman. You cherish her so much, which is not decent!"

Lu Huaihe raised his eyes: "Back then, Concubine Rong Gui was also a woman. The emperor loved her and doted on her. Was that cherishing too much considered unfair?" "

Lu Yuan, you!" Baili Feng was furious. His mother was such a brilliant woman. How could a woman like Su He compare to her?

He clenched his teeth and couldn't breathe. He

was just angry about Lu Huaihe's life experience.

If he were an ordinary official, it wouldn't matter if he was beaten and scolded. It just so happened that he was the old emperor's biological sister and the only son of the eldest princess Zhaoyang. If something went wrong and hurt him, how could the eldest princess give up?

But he was a prince, Baili Feng couldn't say it, so he thought about suppressing his status.

Lu Huaihe saw through his thoughts, slowly stood up from the armchair, took out a teacup, filled it with tea, and handed it to him with his fingers twirling.

"Calm down the anger and let it subside for a while."

Baili Feng glared at him resentfully. After two seconds of silence, he took the tea and drank it.

Lu Huaihe patted his head obediently, said goodbye, closed the door and left.

Baili Feng was left holding the teacup tightly and wanted to smash it. After taking a breath, he put the teacup on the table. The next second, the tablecloth was pulled, and all the bowls, chopsticks, plates and spoons were shattered into pieces.

The servant heard the sound of breaking and hurried to check. After seeing that it was Baili Feng, he stood outside the door trembling and dared not come in.

Baili Feng laughed crazily, took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped his hands, raised his head and looked down, saying: "The losses are all recorded in the name of Lord Lu, the Minister of the Dali Temple. He has money to marry a wife, so it should not be difficult for him to pay for a table of bowls and chopsticks."

The servant agreed repeatedly, just wanting to get rid of this ancestor as soon as possible.

The carriage slowly moved and had not yet reached the door of Su's house.

Su He opened the curtain and asked Qing Yun, "What kind of person is the second prince? What is his relationship with your master?"

There are only rumors about the affairs of the palace, and the details are unknown. However, when the emperor favored Concubine Rong, he also showed special care for Baili Feng. In addition, the position of the crown prince was not determined, and the court officials speculated between the first prince Baili Jun and the second prince Baili Feng.

Later, the ending was stained with blood. After the death of Concubine Rong, Baili Feng completely lost power.

Now he wants to come back and want to fight for a share in the struggle for imperial power, but I am afraid it will be even more difficult.

"Lord Lu has handled this case and has some intersections with the second prince." Qing Yun answered while riding a horse.

Unfortunately, the case ended unclearly.

Those who died died, those who perished perished.

If there was anyone who gained something from this palace turmoil, it was only Baili Jun, who obtained the position of heir to the throne.

Lu Mansion.

Liu Qiuqiu was waiting for news that Lu Yanxiu had gone to find the old immortal, but she got news that Su He was getting married. She was a little wary: "Who is Su He going to marry?"

Lu Yanxiu looked a little tired, and said impatiently: "Lu Huaihe, our uncle."

Liu Qiuqiu's tense expression relaxed. She thought Lu Yanxiu was going to marry Su He again. Fortunately, as long as she didn't endanger her existence in the mansion, who did she marry?
