Chapter 155: Master Lu is no longer Master
At this time, Gu Yulou interrupted, "Your Majesty, he also threatened our Gu family, saying that if Lu Hongbo's illness cannot be cured, the eldest princess will definitely divorce him. Once divorced, she will naturally miss my eldest brother again. Now that my eldest brother and the Prime Minister's daughter have not yet been married, there will always be changes in the future."
These words made the emperor's expression change.
"Taifu, what do you think of my daughter, and what do you think of me?"
Master Lu felt guilty and quickly knelt on the ground.
He has lived a life of luxury for many years, but has a group of unpromising descendants, which has long caused a distortion in his heart.
"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of disrespecting the eldest princess. Since the eldest princess married, the Lu family has always been very respectful to her. This time, I have become disgusted with the Gu family because of the matter of treating the eldest princess. If Gu Ruanci had not previously refused to treat the eldest princess, I would not have said this this time."
The emperor didn't say anything, he was really speechless.
Imperial Tutor Lu continued, "When the eldest princess offered to marry my grandson, it was a great honor for the Lu family. I will always remember this. Although she has never given birth to a child, it does not affect her status in the Lu family. Now that I know the whereabouts of the Little Medical Immortal, I naturally want to help the eldest princess get what she wants."
"This has been the eldest princess's concern for the past two years. She hinted to Little Medical Fairy before, but she was evasive. It was also because of a misunderstanding between the two that the eldest princess couldn't continue her request. Naturally, this task had to be handed over to this old minister."
"Now my grandson has also developed a hidden illness, which has affected the eldest princess's future life. I was anxious at the moment and said something inappropriate. I am willing to apologize to the Gu family."
After saying this, he walked up to Gu Congyun and said, "Duke, please forgive my inappropriate choice of words for the sake of worrying about my descendants at my age."
Gu Congyun was a little embarrassed. He had no way of saying no to this kind of moral kidnapping.
Finally, Grand Tutor Mo interrupted Grand Tutor Lu: "What did you just say? Did you just use the wrong words? I've already given you some leeway, letting you admit your mistake, but you don't seem to appreciate it and are still trying to make excuses. Do you need me to scold you again before you behave yourself?"
Master Lu felt guilty and did not dare to refute.
Grand Tutor Mo continued, "You're just taking advantage of your seniority, thinking that after teaching the Emperor a few days, he'll definitely give you this favor. The words you used to threaten the Gu family, firstly, don't take the eldest princess seriously, and secondly, don't take the Gu family seriously. As for you, my grandson, you've brought this upon yourself. Am I wrong? You have to take responsibility for your own mistakes, and yet you're still using a tone of command and threats when asking for help? I think you're getting more confused as you grow older, and you're losing your self-respect as you get older."
Master Lu's forehead was already covered in sweat; he was no match for Master Mo.
The Emperor then interrupted, "Teacher, don't be angry. I believe the Grand Tutor has realized his mistake. For the sake of his descendants, it is understandable, but his behavior is indeed extreme."
Master Mo did not insist. If Grand Tutor Lu dared to say anything else, he would immediately accuse Grand Tutor Lu of trying to stop Gu Runci from treating Lu Enyan and of plotting to murder the royal heir.
Minister Lu and Lu Hongbo didn't dare to speak the whole time, especially after Grand Tutor Mo came. The aura was so overwhelming that they couldn't even raise their heads.
It was already at this time that someone announced that Prince Duan had arrived.
The emperor was stunned. He didn't expect him to come at this time.
After Prince Duan came in and saw Grand Tutor Mo, his cynical look immediately disappeared.
"Greetings to my brother the Emperor... My father-in-law is here too..."
When Master Mo heard what Prince Duan said, he said directly, "How dare I not wait in the palace for the letter I sent to His Highness?"
When the emperor heard this, he knew why his brother came.
He felt relieved, after all, they were not here to cause trouble for him.
"This old man actually tried to use his useless grandson to destroy the reputation of the Gu family's soft words, making it impossible for her to treat Enyan's illness. What do you think as a father?"
When Master Lu heard this, he felt even more upset.
This Prince Duan is a ruthless person. Sometimes he doesn't even give face to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. Master Mo is trying to torture himself to death.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Prince Duan looked at Tutor Lu.
He was already upset because Grand Tutor Mo had brought him into the palace, and now he became even more furious after hearing this.
Normally, he did not care enough about Lu Enyan, but it was another matter if someone dared to plot against his own son. This meant that they did not take him, the Prince of Duan, seriously at all.
"A teacher who is supposed to be a role model actually did such a shameless thing. My Royal Brother, can such a person still be a tutor?"
Prince Duan's words almost made Tutor Lu, who had just stood up, kneel down again.
The emperor narrowed his eyes and asked, "What if it's according to your wishes?"
Prince Duan said bluntly, "When Grand Tutor Lu was teaching us, he seemed to have said that if the emperor breaks the law, he is guilty just like the common people, let alone a Grand Tutor. Since he has done something like this, he is naturally unqualified to continue to be a Grand Tutor. He doesn't even care about his reputation, so it's impossible to blame the emperor."
After Prince Duan finished speaking, Tutor Lu completely wilted.
Minister Lu wanted to plead for his father, but found that he had no way to open his mouth.
Lu Hongbo felt even more regretful and blamed himself.
The emperor looked at the Lu family and then at the Gu family.
"Grand Tutor's actions over the years have been truly unfitting. He has indulged his grandson in a dissolute life of debauchery. I have tolerated this for a long time out of respect for our relationship as master and disciple. Now that Prince Duan has proposed this, I can no longer protect you. Effective immediately, Lu Qing is stripped of his position as Grand Tutor. Lu Hongbo has been unfaithful to the eldest princess for many years after their marriage, and his health is now abnormal, making him unfit to continue serving as an official. He will not be required to attend court tomorrow and can recuperate at home. Tomorrow, the imperial decree for the eldest princess's divorce from Lu Hongbo will be delivered to the Lu family, and no one may prevent the eldest princess from leaving."
Ultimately, the emperor was thinking about his daughter and couldn't let her live with such a useless person.
Lu Hongbo suffered a double blow both physically and mentally, and has lost hope in life.
Master Lu finally felt regretful and knelt on the ground begging for mercy, but it was no use.
The emperor did not forget to punish Gu Yulou. Although his eagerness to protect his sister was understandable, beating the old man in the street did have a bad influence, and he was given twenty strokes of the cane.
Master Mo had no objection to this. He just needed to deal with Master Lu. This bastard was not worthy of standing with him.
Prince Duan always felt that something was wrong. The Emperor had already thought about what to do, so why did he say it was his suggestion?
