Chapter 111 Staying in the Palace
But it's okay.
Even in his dream, he didn't have the courage to take off the princess' clothes.
Lu Mingfeng heaved a sigh of relief for some reason. He clumsily got off the bed, his fingertips not even touching his undershirt on the floor.
Su Yunyao's voice came from behind, "Why are you not sleeping so early in the morning?"
A black line flashed over Lu Mingfeng's head, and his whole body seemed to be hit by a needle, and he remained motionless in the posture of picking up the clothes.
Su Yunyao supported her head with one hand, lying on the bed, staring at him intently, "What are you doing?"
Lu Mingfeng: ...
Next second.
He slowly turned around, knelt on the ground, and didn't dare to look up. "Princess, please forgive me."
"Forgive me?" Su Yunyao raised an eyebrow. "Forgive me for what?"
Lu Mingfeng pursed his lips deeply and said, "I have insulted the princess. Please punish me."
"Blasphemy?" Su Yunyao looked at his embarrassed expression and wanted to tease him again. "Blasphemy what? Did you take advantage of your drunken state and climb into my bed last night?"
Lu Mingfeng: ...
"I will go to the Dali Temple to accept punishment now." Lu Mingfeng buried his head and lowered it a little more.
"How is the punishment?" Su Yunyao narrowed her eyes and yawned lazily.
"According to the laws of our dynasty, anyone who insults the princess shall be punished with fifty lashes of the cane."
Su Yunyao really couldn't stand watching him kneeling there naked and speaking seriously.
"Fifty lashes of the cane?" Su Yunyao repeated his words, "But Lord Lu Siqing, do you know that if I intend to be punished with clothes on, I..."
Su Yunyao said this, lifted the quilt, and walked away from the bed. She leaned over slightly, leaned close to his ear, and whispered softly, "... but taking off clothes and hitting on him is called flirting."
flirt?
Lu Mingfeng couldn't help but tremble all over.
The princess was very close to him, and he could clearly smell the unique scent of the princess.
Especially when she spoke, the heat between her lips and teeth fell on his earlobe, making him feel itchy and making his originally pale cheeks suddenly turn a shade of red.
A numbing sensation quickly spread from his ear to his entire body, finally landing on his tailbone, triggering an even stronger numbness.
It made him shudder inadvertently.
"Is it cold?" Su Yunyao stood up straight. Before she could finish her words, she saw...
"so?"
Su Yunyao thought so in her heart and said it out loud without any reservation.
Lu Mingfeng was slightly stunned and didn't react to what she was saying.
He followed her gaze in surprise, and his cheeks instantly turned red.
He subconsciously covered himself with his hands, quickly picked up the messy clothes on the ground, and put them on himself casually.
"Don't look, Princess."
Su Yunyao raised an eyebrow, squatted down and grabbed his wrist, "Why can't I watch?"
The veins on Lu Mingfeng's forehead throbbed and his mind went blank in an instant.
"Good figure, don't hide it."
Lu Mingfeng: ...
Su Yunyao was woken up by him. Her eyelids were so sleepy that she had no time to think about anything romantic.
She let go of his hand, yawned lazily, and lay down on the bed, "Let's go."
Let’s go?
Lu Mingfeng paused as he was tidying up his clothes.
Princess, what does this mean?
Last night clearly...
Could it be that the princess was dissatisfied after seeing him?
Lu Mingfeng, who had solved countless cases, was now completely confused and had no idea what the princess meant.
But Su Yunyao had already closed her eyes.
He was not sure whether the princess was asleep or not, and he did not dare to disturb her.
He simply said, "Princess, I'm going to court now."
Then he tiptoed to the bedroom.
Lu Mingfeng usually arrives earlier when he goes to court on weekdays.
At this time, when he arrived outside the Golden Palace, many court officials had already gathered outside the palace.
At this time, someone in the crowd seemed to have noticed him.
"Is that Lord Lu? Why did he come from that direction? Did the Emperor summon Lord Lu to the palace early in the morning?"
"Even if the emperor summoned Lord Lu to the Xuanzheng Hall to discuss matters, he shouldn't be heading in that direction. Isn't that the direction of the harem?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Harem?
How could a minister appear in the harem so early in the morning?
The emperor would reward his subjects by letting them stay overnight in the harem, mostly after banquets.
"Could it be that last night, Lord Lu discussed something important with the Emperor, and because it was so late, the Emperor asked Lord Lu to stay overnight in the harem?"
"Wasn't Lord Shen also there to discuss matters yesterday?"
As soon as this person finished speaking.
Everyone's eyes turned to Shen Qiu Nian.
At this time, Chen Qiu Nian was also looking at Lu Mingfeng who was walking towards him from afar, his eyes dim and unclear.
The princess really let him stay overnight in the palace.
At this moment, Lu Mingfeng walked over. A quick-talking official almost blurted out, "Sir Lu, why are you coming from that direction so early in the morning? Could it be that the emperor had someone stay overnight in the harem yesterday?"
Lu Mingfeng was slightly stunned for a moment, then glanced at Chen Qiu Nian and smiled with relief: "I did stay overnight in the harem yesterday, but it was not the emperor's gift, but the eldest princess's gift."
The eldest princess?
Hear these three words.
There was a distinct sound of people sucking in a breath of cold air from the crowd.
Everyone looked at each other.
The eldest princess and Lord Lu?
Before General Huo went to war, didn’t the princess kiss him in front of all the civil and military officials?
What is happening now?
Everyone was amazed, and finally all looked towards Shen Qiu Nian.
Shen Qiunian looked indifferent.
At this time, Wu Jixiang came out and announced to everyone to enter the hall.
Only then did everyone retract their anxious thoughts.
However, their eyes could not be idle for a moment. They looked at Lord Lu, then at Lord Shen, and some people even silently imagined General Huo in their minds.
The most talked about topic in the court today was Huo Xiao's attack on the Xijing Imperial City.
In the past, when people mentioned General Huo, no one would associate him with Lu Mingfeng.
At this time, because of Lu Mingfeng's earlier words, whenever people talked about Huo Xiao, their eyes would inadvertently glance at Lu Mingfeng, and the atmosphere inexplicably became a little weird.
at the same time.
In the meditation room of Huguo Temple outside Shengjing City, Sang Yi lay on the bed, casually turning the exquisite medicine bottle in his hand.
Wanying pushed the door open and walked in with a serious expression. "Prince, the news from the West Gate Pass is that the Xijing Imperial City has been breached, the King and the Second Prince have been captured, and the Third Prince's whereabouts are unknown. What should we do next?"
"Is this the information you gathered?" Sang Yi paused, his fingers twirling the medicine bottle, his eyes cold. "There are explosives planted by Sang Ye in the Imperial City. How could Huo Xiao have broken into it?"
