Chapter 81 Wherever you go, there I am She

secretly looked up to check Lu Huaihe's expression, and he really didn't look unhappy, so she bravely sat down next to him, took his arm and leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Why don't you ask me again?"

Perhaps if she asked one more question, Su He would not be able to help but tell everything.

Lu Huaihe tilted his head slightly, his cheek pressed against her hair, and a faint fragrance filled her nose.

"You are not the canary in my cage, you don't have to report everything to me."

Su He paused playing with the corner of his clothes, raised her head, eyes bright: "Can Qingyun obey my orders at any time?"

"Yes, I will stay by your side."

"I don't know if he is willing or not?"

Lu Huaihe pulled the back of her hand and rubbed it carefully, her voice mellow: "Probably willing."

"Did the emperor say anything to you when you entered the palace today?"

Su He didn't pay attention all the way, and only when he got closer did he realize that Lu Huaihe had a trace of fatigue on his eyebrows. Obviously, they were in good spirits when they separated from the Princess's Mansion in the morning, but after entering the palace, the corners of his mouth were turned down.

Lu Huaihe said, "The flood in the southeast region is serious. The court has almost allocated all the national treasury to disaster relief, and it has been a long time since the salary has been paid. Recently, His Majesty learned from the grapevine that the relief money allocated by the court has been distributed along the way and has already been divided up, and there is very little left in the hands of the people."

"In the face of national crisis, it is indeed wrong to embezzle the relief money. Your Majesty is doing this to..."

The carriage stopped steadily in front of Li Garden.

Su He paused, and the words were stuck in his throat.

After entering Li Garden, the two walked side by side in the corridor around the beam. Lu Huaihe held her hand and said with lowered eyebrows: "The factions of the crown prince and the second prince in the court are competing with each other. No matter who he values, he will be displeased."

"So, I chose you to find out where the disaster silver is?"

Lu Huaihe hummed: "The crown prince is of noble status. If he encounters danger on the road, the country will perish. If the second prince is sent, the crown prince will probably be unwilling."

If the second prince completes this task, he can be regarded as being able to win the hearts of the people, but it will bring disaster.

The journey to the southeast is too far. It is estimated that it will take two months to go back and forth, plus the time spent in the local area.

Su He looked a little absent-minded. She and Lu Huaihe had just got married, and they were going to be separated for two months. It wasn't because she was afraid that he would fall in love with someone else, but because she was... not prepared.

As if sensing her emotions, Lu Huaihe tightened his hand slightly and said comfortingly: "It's not time to leave yet. The emperor said that it will take half a month before the decree is issued."

"Yes."

"You stay in the capital, Qingyun will follow you in the future. With your mother around, no one can bully you."

After hearing his arrangement, Su He suddenly felt that this trip was not simple.

In the face of the flood, those officials were still able to embezzle the disaster money openly, perhaps there was an umbrella behind them.

She looked up at Lu Huaihe, paused, her eyes flashing: "I won't stay in the capital."

"Why?"

"Wherever you are, I'll be there."

"The journey is long and the mountains are high. It won't be easy."

Su He replied: "You said that I'm not a canary in a cage. Doesn't the capital count as a cage?"

Lu Huaihe smiled helplessly: "The capital is the capital, a place where people worship, prosperous and thriving, how can it be counted as a cage?"

"To me, it is a cage. Since you are leaving here, why should I stay?" Su He let go of his hand and said angrily: "Anyway, wherever you go, I'll follow you!"

"...We'll discuss this later."

Lu Huaihe followed quickly behind her, looking at her with a playful look, "Let's discuss the return visit, okay?"

Su He glanced at him and deliberately quickened her pace.

In the previous life, after the flood, the plague appeared.

Although Lu Huaihe would not die here, he would be plotted against and lose half his life.

Su He secretly made a decision to stay by his side!

The next day.

The Goldque Tower opened as usual.

Su He came here again in disguise, looked around, and found Liu Jinglei in the corner.

All his money was robbed and his clothes were torn to shreds.

Seeing Su He, his eyes lit up: "Little brother, it's you!"

He reached out and took the money bag from Su He's waist and began to count the money. After counting the money, he happily held the money bag and said to Su He: "Can you consider this money as a loan? I'll return it to you if I win!"

Su He asked: "Where's your money?"

"My money was robbed by a bastard! Damn it, I've always robbed others, when has anyone dared to rob me?" Liu Jinglei had just arrived at Jinque Tower this morning when he was dragged away by a group of masked people and beaten. All his money was looted, and even his trousers were ripped open to check for hidden goods.

He was puzzled, who else could rob him?

Seeing that his face was still covered with bruises, Su He's eyes flashed with pride. He lowered his head, pulled out a stack of banknotes from his waist, threw them in his face, and said calmly: "This money is not a loan, I'll give it to you directly."

"Are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious, but you have to exchange something for it."

Liu Jinglei was a little alert: "What thing?"

He had nothing on his body, only his face was left, it was not worth throwing it away.

Su He said, "It can be jewelry or gossip. I've said before that my wife is rich and doesn't care about this. I spend money just for fun. What do you think? Want to exchange?"

"I don't have anything valuable..." Liu Jinglei was halfway through his speech when he saw Su He take out another stack of banknotes, a total of two stacks of banknotes and a full money bag.

His eyes lit up and his heart itched.

"Do you keep your word?" he asked.

"My word is as good as gold."

Liu Jinglei was silent for a few seconds, looked up at her, and said after a moment, "There is an inside story in the capital, and only I know it. Do you want to hear it?"

Su He raised her eyebrows.

Liu Jinglei stretched out his hand, moved his fingers slightly, and smiled greedily: "The money is not enough, you need more."

Su He curled her lips and stretched out her hand. Pei Xia, who was standing behind her, immediately took out a thicker stack of banknotes and put it in her hand.

Liu Jinglei was shocked.

He also quickly realized that this young man in front of him was indeed rich.

"Can I tell you now?" Su He shook the banknotes in her hand.

Liu Jinglei's eyes followed.

This money is enough to buy a yard!

He swallowed and said word by word with narrowed eyes: "Does the Lu family in the capital know about it?"

"I've heard something about it."

Liu Jinglei laughed mockingly and whispered in Su He's ear: "The dragon and phoenix twins are not actually Lu Yanxiu's flesh and blood at all! Including the baby boy who was born now, the one covered with black spots, is not his."

Su He clenched his hands in his sleeves slightly and said in a cold voice: "How do you know?"

"That aunt is my biological sister. Who made Lu Yanxiu have that thing useless? My sister has been with him for several years and never got pregnant! If I hadn't found her a good old lover, how could she give birth to dragon and phoenix twins?"

After the last word fell, he moved his eyes down and glanced at the ear hole on Su He's earlobe.
