Chapter 203 Lu Shengling's Secret Kiss
The red sun in the sky slowly sets in the west, and the sunset emits thousands of rays of light.
This morning, Emperor Fengwu issued four imperial edicts:
1. Duke Qi Xuan of Qi led his troops into the palace last night with the intention of treason. All nine clans of Qi were executed, and Lord Qi Feng was sentenced to death.
2. Depose Princess Feng Yetian.
3. Su Yuan, a direct academician of the Hanlin Academy, made great contributions in eliminating the rebels and was promoted to a third-rank academician of the Hanlin Academy.
4. Order the national defense general Lu Shengling to lead troops to garrison in Dengzhou.
This caused all the civil and military officials in the court to be in an uproar, and at the same time they began to worry about their own situation.
It's the next shift now.
Su Yuan walked out of the Qinxian Hall leisurely, and as soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw Lu Yanxin standing outside the hall with his back to the outside and his hands behind his back.
She raised her eyebrows and called out:
"Yan Xin."
Hearing this, Lu Yanxin turned around in surprise and walked over to Su Yuan, bowed, and said in a serious manner:
"Your humble servant has met Scholar Su. Congratulations on your promotion. Hehehe——"
Su Yuan smiled and shook his head:
"It's off-duty time now. There's no need to be so polite between you and me, good friends."
After saying this, she raised her eyebrows and asked:
"You're not waiting outside just to congratulate me, right?"
Lu Yanxin uttered a "hmm", raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Taihe Gate, and said softly:
"Tsk, I was originally going to ask you to go have a drink, but there's a group of people waiting outside to curry your favor, so in case you get snatched away, I'll risk running into His Majesty and go to the Qinxian Palace to wait for you. How about that? Be righteous!"
As for why that group of people didn't dare, His Majesty hates officials forming factions the most, so of course they were afraid of being reprimanded!
Su Yuan looked up at the darkening sky, then walked past Lu Yanxin and changed direction, saying as he walked:
"There are too many people in Taihe Sect, so I won't go over there. As for drinking, it won't be too late to get together again on a few days off. Now it's getting late, so I'd better go back home!"
Lu Yanxin took a few quick steps to catch up and explained:
"Sheng Ling will lead his troops to war tomorrow. I thought you've been getting along well with him recently. He's always been a loner and has no friends. I invited him to have a drink to see him off, so I thought I'd invite you along to make things more lively."
Su Yuan stopped and pondered for a moment before saying:
"Okay, let's go. He helped me a lot before, so it's only right that I see him off."
Lu Yanxin readily agreed:
"Okay, he has already gone to Ruyi Zhai to order a banquet. You can take my carriage later. I will send a servant to tell Qing Er to go back to the mansion and tell Uncle Su that you will not be returning for dinner."
Su Yuan nodded, "Yeah."
After one stick of incense.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of Ruyizhai.
Lu Yanxin led Su Yuan to the third-floor wing room. She glanced at the wooden sign hanging on the door, knocked on the door twice with her fingers, turned around and said to Su Yuan:
“This is the one.”
Before Su Yuan could answer.
The door was opened from the inside with a creaky sound.
Lu Shengling held one hand on the wooden frame, raised his eyes and glanced at the two people outside the door, and saw the woman behind Lu Yanxin.
There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly under the mask. He nodded slightly to Su Yuan:
"Lord Su."
Su Yuanqing nodded "hmm", and walked into the room with Lu Yanxin and sat side by side opposite Lu Shengling.
Seeing everyone seated, Lu Yanxin took the wine jug and filled the empty glasses in front of the three people with wine, then raised the porcelain cup towards Lu Shengling.
Talking loudly and with a bold look on his face:
"Come, let me toast you. I have admired the loyalty and bravery of the Lu family since I was a child, and now my cousin has become the person I have always dreamed of.
Tomorrow you will lead troops to Dengzhou again. I won’t say much else. I wish you a safe return. I will treat you to a drink then.”
Lu Shengling drank it all in one gulp.
Then he turned his gaze to Su Yuan, poured a glass of wine gracefully and raised it, his voice casual with a hint of laziness:
"Master Su, thank you for seeing me off."
Seeing this, Su Yuan picked up the wine and put it into his mouth, smiling like a warm spring breeze:
"General, you have helped me a lot before, so I should be the one thanking you. Since Yan Xin just said that he is safe, I wish you a successful start and a speedy return to the court."
Lu Shengling sighed and lowered his voice:
"Lord Su is really smart. Nothing can be hidden from you."
His Majesty ordered the Lu family army to garrison Dengzhou. In fact, he wanted him to guard against General Mingwei's rebellion due to the downfall of the Qi family. It's just that they haven't received the news yet, so it's inconvenient to say it clearly.
Su Yuan smiled softly, took out a jade box from his sleeve and handed it over:
"This is a healing medicine I prepared myself. It has a miraculous effect when applied externally and can quickly heal wounds. I came here in a hurry just now, so I will give this to the general as a farewell gift. I hope you don't mind."
Lu Shengling raised his eyebrows, and with two distinct fingers he gently pinched the jade box and brought it close to his eyes to take a look, and said in a low voice:
"It's very good. I like it very much."
Lu Yanxin glanced at the two of them, waved his hand and said:
"I've given you the things and accepted the gifts. Stop wasting time and come over for a drink."
"Tsk - even though we can't get drunk tonight, it's good to get a little tipsy. We can't just toast each other with a glass of wine and call it a day. That's like scratching an itch through a shoe and not satisfying a craving!"
Hearing what Lu Yanxin said.
Su Yuan raised his eyebrows in understanding and said:
"Okay, I'll take leave for you tomorrow."
Lu Yanxin glared at her, turned his head and yelled outside:
"Waiter, bring me three more bottles of Rouge Wine."
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."
Wait for the waiter to bring the wine to the table.
Lu Yanxin's eyes immediately flashed with two green wolf lights, and he drank with the two people who had finally gathered together, especially Lu Shengling, who drank a thousand cups without getting drunk and only stopped at midnight:
"I, burp..., cousin is going to the toilet, we'll leave when I come back."
Lu Yanxin supported Su Yuan, who was lying on the table next to her, and stumbled to her feet with the help of Su Yuan. She left after saying a few words to Lu Shengling and walked out.
Hearing this, Lu Shengling glanced at Lu Yanxin's leaving back, then turned to look at Su Yuan who was lying on the table facing him.
The woman's cheeks were flushed, and a few strands of black hair were scattered on her face, which was glowing softly. Occasionally, the wind blew across her slightly curled long eyelashes, adding a bit of seductive charm.
Probably drunk.
Lu Shengling felt a burning sensation in his heart. His fair and well-proportioned hands slowly took off the mask on his face. He slowly stood up and walked to the woman and sat down.
His narrow eyes were fixed on Su Yuan's profile. Suddenly, he leaned closer to the woman and felt the woman's warm breath mixed with a faint scent of alcohol spraying on his face.
Lu Shengling's body trembled, and his hands on his knees clenched involuntarily. His red lips trembled slightly as he moved closer to the woman's forehead and restrainedly gave her a gentle kiss.
After a moment, he looked up and gradually left, an indescribable emotion quickly flashed across his deep eyes.
Lu Shengling's voice was barely perceptible, and he snorted and laughed:
"I don't know when we'll meet again. Hmm, maybe... I don't know how old your husband is, right?"
Outside the door.
Lu Yanxin looked at the scene in the room, frowned at first, and seriously suspected that he had seen it wrong.
Then he gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand and pinched his thigh, "hiss..."
It really hurts.
Feeling the real pain, Lu Yanxin's drunkenness instantly disappeared and he covered his mouth in disbelief.
My cousin, my cousin...
Kissed Su Yuan secretly!
However, before Lu Yanxin could be shocked for long, the man in the room suddenly turned his head and glanced at her sharply, and said in a low voice:
"Come in."
Lu Yanxin swallowed nervously, walked slowly to his cousin's side, coughed lightly and said:
"I don't see anything."
After she finished speaking, she pointed outside:
"Well, go back."
