Chapter 173 Who asked him?
The emperor's initial shock and disbelief at Xiao Tingye's recent outrageous behavior gradually turned him into numbness.
I don't know since when, this brat has become more and more unscrupulous.
Every time he went to court, the emperor would break out in a cold sweat, fearing that he would say something shocking again.
After all, there are civil and military officials in the court below him, and as an emperor, he still has some sense of shame.
After all, he is not as thick-skinned as Xiao Tingye.
Lin Zhaoyue also frowned slightly.
Is there something wrong with this person?
Who asked him?
The expressions of all the civil and military officials were somewhat meaningful.
Speaking of courage, Lord Xiao is the bravest...
After all, if someone in such a high position of power doesn't have any interest in women, it's hard not to make people think...
When Lu Chenzhou heard Xiao Tingye's words, his expression darkened.
[I'm clearly pointing at you, scumbag]
Lu Chenzhou was furious, roaring inwardly: Who asked you?!
[Why does the villain look a bit like a peacock spreading its feathers? ]
[Isn't this clearly telling the princess: Look, my dear, I am completely different from this despicable man. I am pure and chaste, and I keep it just for you.]
[Something is wrong with Lao Xiao recently, he is becoming more and more rampant]
[I see, it’s getting worse and worse]
[Hilarious! The villain hasn't been close to women for a long time, so everyone suspects he's not capable. Hahahaha]
If he can't do it, no one can... People who are holding it in are like a flood.
[Is the person above very experienced? Please elaborate]
…
Lin Zhaoyue only glanced at the subtitles when she attended court. Sometimes when they were too noisy, she would selectively block them out.
This time, when he glanced at it, he accidentally saw a few sentences and his expression became a little unnatural.
She had experienced up close whether Xiao Ting could travel at night or not.
But when I think about it now, I feel inexplicably hot.
It seems that after the illness is completely cured.
She really needs to take one or two male favorites into her house.
At this moment, the court was silent, and everyone was waiting for the emperor's response.
Lu Chenzhou knelt in the hall, his eyes slightly lowered, unable to see the expression hidden in the shadows.
The emperor tapped the armrest of the dragon throne lightly, but it was obvious that he was very happy.
"Xi Ling's loyalty to the court makes me deeply pleased. In this case—"
He looked at Xiao Tingye and said, "Lord Xiao, immediately send troops to take over the disbanded army and city in Xiling."
Xiao Tingye stepped forward, bowed his hands and said respectfully, "I obey your command."
Lu Chenzhou's face turned cold and his eyes darkened.
The emperor continued his instructions, "Concubine Chun has been in charge of the harem for many years. Although she has made no contributions, she has also worked hard. Although she has committed serious offenses, considering the loyalty of the Xuanping Marquis' family to the court, this time, her death penalty will be pardoned and she will be sent back to Xiling."
When he said this, he was looking at Lin Zhaoyue.
The place where Concubine Chun was imprisoned was the Criminal Department under Lin Zhaoyue's command.
If we want to release Concubine Chun, we must let her go.
Therefore, Lin Zhaoyue also understood and stepped forward, nodding respectfully: "Your son obeys your command."
Lu Chenzhou also bowed respectfully at this time, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
At the same time, all the civil and military officials in the court saluted and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Lin Zhaoyue and Xiao Tingye, who had originally lowered their heads, looked at each other tacitly at this moment. After exchanging glances, they continued to lower their eyes without saying a word.
Following the ministers:
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Father is wise!"
When the morning court is over.
Lin Zhaoyue walked slowly down the white marble steps outside the hall and suddenly saw a familiar figure standing in front of her.
Lu Chenzhou, who should have left long ago, was just ahead.
Lu Chenzhou was wearing a blue brocade robe today. He should have been as bright and cheerful as the moon, but now he was gloomy, and even his appearance seemed to have changed.
He used to be extremely handsome, and his face, which had once been the dream of the ladies in the capital, was now stained with a haze, and there was a circle of blue stubble around his mouth.
Lin Zhaoyue had seen the young and romantic Lu Chenzhou, seen him in his handsome and bright years, and seen him with a pure heart.
It’s a pity that he is no longer the Lu Chenzhou of the past.
The young Lu Chenzhou of that year seemed like a flash in the pan.
When the poison of desire and power seeped into his bones, the former Lu Chenzhou disappeared bit by bit.
She always believed that human life is only a few decades long and it is difficult for anyone to remain unchanged.
It’s so difficult to keep your original heart.
But for Lin Zhaoyue, if a person's changes threaten her or he loses his value in her heart.
Then, she no longer wants this person.
This is true for everyone.
She has been in the vortex of power since she was a child. What she learned, in addition to the art of power and intrigue, is to be ruthless enough to remain invincible.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to this point today.
So even though Lin Ye was her biological brother whom she protected to the core.
Once she realizes that he has turned away from her, she will strangle him in the cradle without hesitation.
Not to mention Lu Chenzhou.
When he saw her, his eyes were glued to her like a shadow.
He put one hand behind his back, with a slight smile on his lips: "Yue'er, long time no see."
At this time, many officials who were leaving could not help but stay and watch the fun when they saw this scene.
There were also some officials from the princess's party who were extremely disgusted at the moment.
"You really have the nerve to wait for Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"That's right! Even after acting like this, you still dare to covet our noble princess. How shameless!"
Among them, Minister Pei put his hands in his sleeves and said calmly: "In my opinion, this Lu Shizi still has feelings for Her Royal Highness the Princess..."
Another member of the princess's party sneered, "Since you still have feelings for her, when the princess comes to recruit lovers, you can consider including Prince Lu among them. I just don't know if Prince Lu is willing to do so."
These words were said in a sarcastic tone, and were obviously more of a mockery than a ridicule of Lu Chenzhou.
Princess Zhaohua is now at the peak of her career, and the princess's supporters are naturally arrogant. Now they naturally stand tall and defend the princess to the death.
Therefore, they naturally hated Prince Lu, who had betrayed the princess and shamelessly had an affair with other women, and felt that he was not worthy of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
So much so that the princess party and the like are now trying every possible means to make Princess Dona their lover.
But unfortunately, there was another person in the court who was determined to oppose the princess and not let her feel comfortable.
He always sabotaged their plans to choose a lover for the princess.
So now they are all discussing in private, and they dare not even let the news leak out.
However, at this moment, the person who did not allow the princess to feel comfortable also appeared not far behind the princess.
At this moment, the patrolling imperial guards' orders interrupted everyone's whispers.
"My Lords, the morning court session is over. Please leave the palace immediately."
The ministers all agreed, and then left in twos and threes, but they continued to gossip.
Lin Zhaoyue looked at Lu Chenzhou and said coldly, "Does it really matter to me to see you?"
Lu Chenzhou's eyes dimmed a little, "You are still angry."
