Chapter 201: The Ministers Pressed
Su Yuan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded:
"Okay, but I have healing medicine with me, so I can just borrow the general's place to stay for a while."
When Lu Shengling heard the woman's refusal, he tightened his grip on the lantern pole and smiled faintly:
"Okay, let's go."
"Um."
Su Yuan limped behind Lu Shengling into the pavilion, sat on a stone bench, and carefully took off his bloodstained shoes and socks.
She leaned forward slightly to look at her foot, which had a big hole in it and was bleeding profusely, and sighed softly:
"General Lu is indeed from a family of military commanders. He thinks more carefully than others."
At least in all these years of climbing walls and climbing roofs, she had never encountered anyone embedding long thorns on the walls of their homes. However, this kind of weapon was a sharp weapon and could not be found by ordinary people.
Lu Shengling did not respond, but looked at Su Yuan's injured foot, and a flash of heartache appeared in his eyes.
He placed the lantern on the stone table, tore off a piece of cloth from his white robe, half-knelt down beside Su Yuan, and spoke slowly:
"I can't say I was thorough, but it is true that I injured Lord Su. Fortunately, Lord Su's lightness skill was good enough that his foot was not pierced, otherwise I would be guilty."
After saying this, Lu Shengling looked up at Su Yuan and asked:
"Where's the healing medicine that Master mentioned? Since it's inconvenient for you to treat your wound, let me apply the medicine for you!"
Su Yuan shook his head, took out some healing medicine from his sleeve and sprinkled it on the wound, then stretched out his hand to Lu Shengling and said:
"General, give it to me. I am a grown woman, so why would I let a man like you bandage my feet? Wouldn't that be taking advantage of you?"
"Besides, you put the spikes on the wall in self-defense. I didn't see clearly and stepped on it. What's the point of talking about being responsible or not?"
Lu Shengling handed over the white cloth and turned to talk about something else, "Master Su, did you get anything tonight?"
Su Yuan wrapped the cloth around his feet several times and tied a knot. He then stuffed his feet into his shoes without even putting on his bloodstained socks.
Hear Lu Shengling asking questions.
She turned her eyes slightly and whispered:
"Yes, but the general has also seen it. My foot is injured and I can't move easily. I wonder if the general can take the things to His Majesty on my behalf?"
Lu Shengling lowered his eyes and looked at Su Yuan's injured right foot, especially when he saw that his outer robe was now entangled on the woman's snowy feet.
A hint of warmth surged on his face, and he looked away calmly and nodded:
"good."
Su Yuan raised the corners of his lips slightly, took out a folded blue book from his chest and handed it to the man, smiling and saying:
"Then I'll have to trouble you, General."
Lu Shengling looked at the account book in his hand and said in a low voice, "Don't bother, it's my duty."
Su Yuan bent down to pick up the bloodstained brocade socks from the ground, looked at Lu Shengling's face with his head slightly lowered and his expression unclear, stood up and walked out of the pavilion with a slightly unsteady step:
"It's late at night and I'm injured, so I'll take my leave now."
Lu Shengling followed him two steps, his tone carrying a hint of worry:
"Otherwise, Lord Su, please wait here for a while. I will order someone to prepare a carriage to take you back home. If you walk back now, your injury will probably get worse tomorrow."
Su Yuan kept walking and waved his hand behind him:
"No need. I know a little bit of Qinggong, so I can still make it all the way home. It would be too ostentatious to take the carriage of the general's mansion."
"Okay, then Master Su, be careful."
Su Yuan uttered a light "hmm", tapped the ground with his uninjured foot, and used the force of pushing against the wall to flip over, avoiding the long spikes on the top of the wall, and arrived at the empty and deserted street.
She used teleportation and returned to Xiayue Garden in the Su Mansion in just a few breaths.
“Squeak—”
Su Yuan tiptoed to push open the half-open door and walked in. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Song Yuezhong sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed, wearing only his inner clothes.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, walked over slowly and sat down beside the couch:
"Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Hearing the voice, Song Yue lifted his eyelids slightly, scanned the woman's body up and down, and said lightly:
"You're not hurt?"
Su Yuan shook his head and nodded again, then said, "Oh."
"I just got a minor injury, but it's been taken care of."
Song Yue frowned and asked in a stern voice:
"Where is the injury?"
Su Yuan raised her injured foot in front of her husband, and used her injury to call Song Yuezhong:
"The sole of my foot was injured by a long thorn. Fortunately, it was only a cut, but now I can't move easily. Please help your wife get a basin of warm water so that I can wash my feet and go to bed."
Song Yuezhong pursed his thin lips into a straight line and got out of bed without saying a word.
After a while
He brought a basin of warm water, squatted beside the bed, and gently took off Su Yuan's shoes and socks. He picked up her injured foot and examined it through the cloth:
"It's not swollen. The medicine must be working."
Su Yuan yawned sleepily:
"Go to bed, that thing is finally done, I will stay at home to recover from my injuries for the next few days."
Su Yuan mentioned it vaguely when she was borrowing the human skin mask, so Song Yuezhong roughly knew what she was talking about and said:
"Okay, I'll take care of you at home these few days when I have nothing to do."
"Yeah, okay."
…
The next day.
Fengtian Hall.
Emperor Fengwu said as usual, "If you have something to report, please submit it. If you don't, please leave the court."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Shengling stepped out from the row of military officers, holding all the evidence for impeachment in his hands, and said in a cold tone:
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Emperor Fengwu raised his hand slightly to signal him to continue.
Lu Shengling nodded, "I want to report Duke Qi for corruption and breaking the law, violating the court rules, opening a gambling house and buying and selling court officials for personal gain, and forming a clique for personal gain."
When the Duke of Qi heard that this person was impeaching him and had mentioned her buying and selling of officials in great detail, he was shocked.
Her eyelids twitched heavily, and she strode to Lu Shengling and bowed to Emperor Fengwu, speaking indignantly:
"Your Majesty, this is pure fabrication. I have never done this."
She did things so covertly that even the King of Heaven couldn't find any evidence against her.
It was estimated that Lu Shengling heard it from others, and because Ling Wei was punished for taking Lu Shengxue to a brothel, he held a grudge and reported himself to the authorities.
That must be the case. Someone has reported her before.
In the end, doesn’t everything end up in nothing?
Thinking of this, she cried out:
"Your Majesty, please investigate this matter and do not wrongly accuse me!"
As soon as the Duke of Qi finished speaking, a large number of ministers knelt down and begged for mercy. Their high-pitched voices came one after another like the rising tide:
"Your Majesty, please investigate."
"Your Majesty, please investigate."
Emperor Fengwu stared at the kneeling minister for a while without any warmth in his eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
She waved her hand at the palace attendant beside her, and said in a chilling tone:
"Okay, I'll listen to you and investigate immediately."
"Your Majesty is wise." x several times
