Chapter 204 Going to Liuyundu
Lu Shengling said "hmm" lightly.
He lowered the corners of his lips, looked down at the woman lying on the table who was not awake, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Cousin, please carry Su Yuan on your back and ask for a day off for her tomorrow."
"oh oh."
Lu Yanxin nodded rapidly, bypassed Lu Shengling and trotted over to carry the man onto his shoulders, shaking his head and saying:
"This person said she was taking leave for me, but in the end I was the one taking leave for her."
Lu Shengling ignored her mumbling, put on his mask again, and followed Lu Yanxin out of Ruyizhai.
Just crossed the threshold of the lobby.
Lu Yanxin's eyes lit up, and he waved to a carriage parked on the right and shouted:
"Qing Er, come and get your master, she's drunk."
Su Qinger was reclining in the front room and taking a nap.
Hearing the sound, she suddenly woke up and looked towards the source of the sound, and saw her master being carried on the shoulders of Lord Lu.
Su Qinger immediately jumped off the carriage and ran to Lu Yanxin's side, asking in a worried tone:
"Lord Lu, what happened to my master?"
Lu Yanxin said casually:
"No problem, just drunk."
Su Qinger breathed a sigh of relief, took over Su Yuan, and skillfully carried him to the soft cushion in the carriage and placed him down.
She lifted the carriage curtain and sat back in the front room, looking at Lu Yanxin and Lu Shengling behind her, and flicked the whip:
"Thank you both for seeing me off. I will take my master back home right away."
After he finished speaking, the carriage started off with a "clack clack" sound, passing the two people on the side of the road.
Seeing this, Lu Yanxin stretched his neck and shouted:
"I will ask for leave for Su Yuan tomorrow, Qing Er, remember to tell her——"
Of course, the carriage had already gone far away at this moment.
Lu Yanxin didn't know whether Su Qinger heard it or not. She sighed helplessly:
"Cousin, let's go too!"
"Um."
The other side.
Because it was getting late, and considering that his master had to go to court the next morning, Su Qing drove the carriage faster.
Now that they had passed Lin'an Street, she realized that she seemed to have heard Lord Lu's voice just now.
Su Qinger frowned and murmured:
"Hey, what did Lord Lu say? I didn't hear it clearly. Why don't you go back and ask? I hope it's nothing important."
I'm hesitating!
Suddenly a clear female voice came from the carriage:
"Don't ask, I know everything."
Su Qing said happily:
"Master, are you awake?"
In the dimly lit carriage.
Su Yuan stared at the corner of the curtain fluttering in the wind, not knowing what she was thinking. After a while, she lightly touched her forehead with the back of her hand and said calmly:
"Well, I'm going to take a day off tomorrow. Remember to call Qing San along, and we'll go to the Wanfo Temple to pick up the master and the others."
"Understood, Patriarch."
——At the same time.
Imperial city, cold palace.
Qi Fengjun no longer had the glory of the past. He was only wearing a plain robe and sat slumped on a paint-chip wooden chair with an almost numb expression.
“Squeak—”
Suddenly, there was the sound of a door being pushed open in the quiet hall. Perhaps it was because the noise of the door opening was too loud, so he slowly looked over.
After seeing clearly who the person was, Qi Fengjun blinked very slowly, lowered his head and ignored him.
But the man refused to follow his wishes and walked briskly around the hall, saying in a mocking tone:
"Tsk tsk, look at this, this is where people live. How can something so dirty and shabby be worthy of our precious Qi Fengjun?"
He paused, leaned closer and raised his eyebrows:
"Mr. Feng, isn't that right?"
Qi Fengjun glanced at him and said indifferently:
"As my lackey, don't you know that my misfortune today will be your misfortune? If you have the time to spare, Lord Mu, you should take care of yourself and the Mu family."
Mu Guijun sneered from his nose, straightened his back and looked down at the person below with his eyes lowered.
He shook his head and said proudly:
"Your Majesty is merciful and has long said that he will not vent his anger on others because of the Qi thief. So, if anyone has to die, it should be the Qi family. You, Lord Qi Feng, should die. Oh... I forgot that the Crown Princess Feng Yetian was also deposed."
"Speaking of which, I have to thank Lord Feng. The Third Princess is still young, and my daughter Ye Jing is the only one left in Fengqi. It won't be long before I can become the head of the harem, and you will be the deposed monarch, no, the deceased monarch."
Qi Fengjun lightly lifted his eyelids, his eyes were calm without a trace of fear of a dying man, his tone was desolate, and he smiled:
"Her Majesty is going to kill me. Haha, she is finally going to kill me."
Seeing that he looked crazy, Mu Guijun frowned, took a few steps back and called out:
"People outside, come in and send the deposed king off."
Several palace servants walked in from outside the palace. One of them walked up to Mu Guijun with poisoned wine and whispered:
"Sir, please take action."
Mu Guijun raised his chin and sneered:
"Go and pin him down. I will do it myself."
The two palace servants responded "yes" and stepped forward to force Qi Fengjun to his knees on the ground.
Mu Guijun's lips curved slightly, and as he gently picked up the wine cup and poured wine into Qi Fengjun's mouth, he leaned close to his ear and whispered:
"I'll tell you one more thing. I was the one who secretly killed your child. It's ridiculous that you've hated the wrong person all these years. You're such a fool. Tsk tsk, so pitiful."
Below.
A surge of hatred burst out from Qi Fengjun's gray eyes. He struggled desperately and threw himself towards Mu Guijun, but his arms were restrained by palace servants and he had taken poison.
After a while.
His face was pale and bluish, revealing a look of death, with large amounts of bright red blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. He tilted his head and died.
Seeing this, Mu Guijun rubbed his blood-stained hands on Qi Fengjun's clothes and said slowly:
"Go and reply to His Majesty."
"Yes, noble sir."
…………
Spring goes and summer comes. The weather gradually becomes hotter and three months pass in the blink of an eye.
Fengtian Hall.
Minister of War Sun Yang stepped out with a smile on his face:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. Since the Mingwei Army rebelled two months ago, General Lu has won several battles in a row and forced the rebels to Liuyun Ferry. I think it won't be long before our army returns with a great victory."
The corners of Emperor Fengwu's mouth curved slightly, and his voice was low and drawn out:
"Hmm, that's right."
She changed the subject and continued:
"However, news came from the front that the army was short of food and grass. The Liuyundu area is mostly desert, so it is difficult to supply large amounts of food. Therefore, I decided to send people from the capital to escort the food and grass. Do any of you want to go?"
After these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent for a moment.
Everyone knows that the climate in Liuyundu is bad, especially now that it is hot in midsummer. They are sweating profusely just staying in the capital on weekdays, and no one is willing to do such a thankless job.
The empress narrowed her eyes and called out directly:
"Master Lu, your mother praised you a lot in front of me. This time you are escorting food and grass for the Lu family army. You will be the one to do this job."
Because the Lu family had made many military achievements, the playboy Lu Shengxue was protected and given a sixth-rank official title. Now she was suddenly named by Emperor Fengwu.
Her body softened and she knelt down, hesitating:
"Your Majesty, I am very willing to go there, but I am too weak to go there! Otherwise, otherwise..."
She glanced around and saw Su Yuanshi, the culprit who had caused her to be beaten by His Majesty last time.
Lu Shengxue's eyes turned and he suggested:
"Otherwise, let Scholar Su go. Scholar Su is a role model for the younger generation like me. She is mature and steady in her work. If we give this matter to her, she will definitely be able to handle it well."
Emperor Fengwu looked at Lu Shengxue who was cowering below him, his eyelids twitched violently, and he shifted his gaze to Su Yuan:
"Mr. Su is indeed appropriate."
After that, she thought for a moment:
"Well... Tomorrow the Ministry of War will prepare 100,000 tons of food and fodder. Three days later, Scholar Su will escort the food to Liuyun Ferry."
Su Yuan pursed her lips and nodded, "Yes."
