Jun Canglan raised his eyebrows slightly, and when he looked at Concubine Luo Xian, his eyes suddenly darkened.
The power of the Fanyang Lu family is now too great.
If this continues, the court will be almost entirely controlled by these aristocratic families.
By that time, they will be able to cover the sky with one hand, and that will be troublesome.
He was worried that he couldn't find any evidence to hold against the Lu family, so he could use it to crack down on them and reduce the arrogance of the nobles in the officialdom, so that they would know who was in charge in the Xichen Kingdom.
Unexpectedly, the little girl sent the message up immediately.
Although this girl likes to have a stern face, she is quite cute.
When Concubine Luo saw His Majesty smiling, she thought that this matter would be successful.
She smiled and said, "Your Majesty!"
However, when Jun Canglan raised his eyes to look at Concubine Luo Xian, his eyes were extremely cold. He picked up the teacup beside him and gently turned it around, smiling with his lips curled: "Let me spare Concubine Lu Shu?"
"Don't let her stay in the cold palace?"
Concubine Luo nodded.
Jun Canglan smiled and said, "Okay, then chop it off!"
Concubine Luo Xian's eyes widened in shock, and she immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty! My cousin didn't hurt anyone, so her crime doesn't deserve the death penalty!"
Jun Canglan: "Didn't you say that you wanted her to leave the cold palace?"
"What? I satisfy you, but you're still unwilling?"
"Why, are you going to die for her?"
Concubine Luo was panicked: "Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. I think that even if my cousin did something wrong, the Lu family has made a lot of efforts and money for the Xichen Kingdom, and even trained many meritorious people. Even if there is no merit, there is hard work!"
"Your Majesty, please spare my cousin's life!"
Jun Canglan looked over with deep eyes: "Hard work? A meritorious person?"
"I heard that a few days ago, the eldest son of the Lu family fell in love with a girl and forced her to have sex with him!"
"The Dali Temple has investigated this matter, right?"
"That girl, pressured by the rumors, ended up jumping into the river with her child and committing suicide."
"I'm not wrong!"
Concubine Luo Xian didn't understand what His Majesty wanted to do by saying this.
She nodded, but didn't deny it.
Jun Canglan took a sip of tea and said, "But it seems to me that this matter is not that simple!"
"Li Gaoyi, tell the Dali Temple to re-investigate the case at the Lu Mansion!"
