Ning Xuanyan lowered his eyes and returned to his own room.
He was sitting at the dressing table, staring at his cheek in the mirror, when suddenly there was a crackling sound.
Ning Xuanyan returned to his true shape.
He lifted up Cui Xin's mask, and a stunningly charming face was instantly revealed. The mole on her high nose bridge added a bit of weirdness.
Ning Xuanyan took off Cui Xin's headdress, and her long hair fell like a waterfall to her waist.
In the bathroom on the other side, Lu Ren suppressed his inner restlessness and held Wen Yu in his arms to wash her carefully, then dressed her and gently carried her back to bed.
Liu Chun walked in and said, "General Lu, the emperor has sent a message to summon you to the palace."
Lu Ren paused as he covered the quilt: "Got it."
"The princess is exhausted. Let her get some sleep and don't wake her up."
Finally, he tucked in the quilt, gave her a kiss on the lips, and left reluctantly.
When we arrived at the palace, the emperor was drinking tea. He stared at the scroll on the table, as if thinking about something.
"Your humble servant Lu Ren pays respect to His Majesty."
The emperor raised his eyes and slowly put down the teacup. After a moment, he sighed imperceptibly: "Are you not going back to Beiyangguan?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have decided to stay in Shengjing City."
The emperor asked again, "I heard that General Lu stayed at the princess's residence last night?"
When Lu Ren heard this question, he naturally knew why the emperor summoned him into the palace.
He lifted up his robe and knelt on the ground. A hint of tenderness flashed across his face, but his tone was calm and firm: "Yes, I stayed at the princess's mansion last night, and I am already husband and wife with the princess."
As soon as Lu Ren finished speaking, a teacup fell on his knees and shattered into pieces.
The emperor's questioning voice was very cold: "Lu Ren, do you admit your guilt?"
"I don't know."
"You and the imperial sister are not married in name, but you secretly had sex. Now that you are married, you still say you don't know what crime you have committed?"
This made Lu Ren silent for a moment. He slowly said, "I have violated the princess before we were married. I know my crime, but I do not regret it. Please punish me, Your Majesty. I will take all the blame."
After these words were spoken, the hall fell silent.
After a while, the emperor at the top sighed and said, "I also know the character of my sister, but did she force you?"
Lu Ren frowned slightly when he heard this: "The princess did not force me. I have been coveting you for a long time. What happened last night was that I couldn't help myself."
The emperor asked, "So you volunteered?"
"Yes, everything is voluntary."
"No." The emperor said word by word, "What I want to ask is, you are willing to stay with your sister even though you have no status?"
Lu Ren clenched his fists upon hearing this, but quickly released them: "Everything is done voluntarily by this humble servant. Even if I have no title or status, I am willing to stay by the princess' side."
The emperor said again: "Don't speak too soon. Given the character of the imperial sister and your pride as General Lu, if the imperial sister wants to favor another man in the future, what will you do?"
Lu Ren whispered, "Since I have stayed, I have made my attitude clear."
The emperor looked at Lu Ren and said in a serious tone: "Now that we have come to this point, if you feel resentful in the future because your sister favors another man, don't blame me for not advising you today."
Lu Ren bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I know your painstaking efforts. Thank you for your help."
After Lu Ren left the hall, he looked at the snow below the stairs and his mood was completely different.
At that time, he was kneeling at the bottom of the stairs, and he didn't want to have too much involvement with the princess, but now, he just wanted to hug the princess from dusk till dawn.
How can a person who has indulged in pleasure too much stop praying for pleasure every night?
It's like the evil dragon only wants to guard its treasure day and night, never leaving.
But Your Majesty was wrong about one thing. He does have a status, a status acknowledged by the princess herself.
Last night, when they were in the midst of the red waves, Lu Ren inserted his fingers between Wen Yu's ten fingers, pressed them against her ears, and asked with red eyes: "I want to be the biggest in the princess's mansion."
Wen Yu's eyes were blurred as she spoke intermittently, "What, what big, what small, they are all equal..."
Lu Ren paused when he heard this, and said in a very aggrieved tone: "I don't want equality, I want to be the greatest."
Wen Yu felt very uncomfortable: "Why did you stop?"
"Princess, I want to be the most powerful one in your house."
"Don't stop..."
Lu Ren pecked the corner of Wen Yu's lips: "Princess, will you promise me?"
"Okay, okay, you're the oldest, so be good, okay?"
A smile flashed in Lu Ren's eyes, and the tent was filled with spring beauty again.
At this time in the clinic, Lin Yuzhi, who was in a coma, slowly opened his eyes.
"Prime Minister, are you awake?"
The imperial physician came early in the morning to check on Lin Yuzhi's condition.
When Lin Yuzhi heard the voice, his vision gradually became clear. He turned his head slightly and looked around, but did not see the figure he expected to see.
"What is the Prime Minister looking at?"
Lin Yuzhi's throat was terribly dry and hoarse: "Nothing."
After the imperial physician took his pulse, he smiled and said, "You will surely have good fortune in the future after surviving such a disaster."
Lin Yuzhi's expression was very calm. He was unmoved by the words of the imperial physician and only said, "Return to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
The imperial physician showed disapproval: "You just woke up, you can't move around at will. It won't be too late to return home after your injuries are almost healed."
"Need not."
"Master Prime Minister, please listen to my advice. Last night, the princess was busy for a long time trying to get your fever down. She even waited until your fever subsided before leaving. If you don't take good care of your injuries, wouldn't the princess' efforts have been in vain?"
Lin Yuzhi paused when he heard this.
"The princess..."
"Yes." The doctor answered hastily, "The princess is trying to persuade you to drink the medicine and change the dressing. If you insist on going back home and the wound ruptures, wouldn't that be..."
Before the imperial physician finished speaking, a smile appeared on Lin Yuzhi's lips. He looked like he had seen a ghost, and the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter a word.
Lin Yuzhi lowered his eyes and said softly: "So that wasn't a dream..."
I don't know why, but my cheeks hurt so much when I spoke.
"Mr. Prime Minister, you should rest and recover from your injuries. The princess has instructed us to take good care of you."
Lin Yuzhi was slightly stunned: "Princess, you are worth a lot of money, how can you trouble me to take care of me?"
Imperial Physician: ...
What should he say? He is just a messenger...
