Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

After the officials left Lingyun Mansion, Lu Chen dragged his tired body back to the inner courtyard. As he walked towards the study, he said to the two people beside him:

"Have you prepared your horse?"

Fu Hua nodded.

"It's ready. The official Tianxing Formation has also been activated. You can set off back to Beijing at any time."

"That's right."

Lu Chen's eyelids started to tremble.

"That's good."

Seeing his tired face, a look of pity flashed across Chai Hongyu's face.

She hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "How about waiting for a day before setting off back to Beijing."

"After you were assassinated today, you have to meet with His Majesty, give lectures, and discuss politics. You can't rest for a moment. It's very stressful. If you continue to travel and travel, I'm afraid it will damage your roots."

Although it is reasonable to say that they can actually rest on the carriage, but they are taking the highest-level official road and using the strongest Tianxing Formation. The price of returning to the capital very quickly is a strong dizziness like traveling through time and space. , in an extremely noisy environment, it is difficult to get adequate rest.

Fortunately, they, the warriors of the Guiyi Realm, were not greatly affected by the chariot given by the emperor, but Lu Chen was bound to be affected and it was difficult to rest well.

And it will take several days to use the Tianxing Formation to return to Beijing from Yuzhou, which will be punished.

Lu Chen shook his head.

"No, the situation is urgent and there is no room for a moment's delay."

After a pause, he glanced at Chai Hongyu and said softly: "Don't worry, Miss Chai, I'm not trying to be brave, I know it well."

Hearing this, Chai Hongyu could only smile bitterly and shake her head.

The power of the First Emperor was of great importance, and she also knew the importance. How could someone like Lu Chen, who put national affairs first in everything, be at ease about the situation in the capital, so she did not persuade him.

Soon, the attendants packed their bags.

Fu Huan followed Lu Chen all the way until she reached the carriage parked at the back door. She had no intention of stopping. She seemed to want to follow the carriage to take Lu Chen out of the city.

Seeing this, Lu Chen paused before getting into the car.

"Liangyu stays."

He looked at Fu Hua speechlessly.

"Just send it here. Xuanji Guard's official duties are heavy, and all the affairs are inseparable from your assistance. Go back and rest early."

Hearing this, Fu Huan bit her red lips inexplicably.

"Just one more section and we'll get out of the city."

As she said that, she slowly took a few steps forward and approached Lu Chen. She raised her beautiful eyes and met Lu Chen's eyes, with a trace of reluctance and worry flashing in her eyes.

"Nowadays, there is chaos in all directions and the country is in turmoil. You and I both have heavy responsibilities. We say goodbye today and I don't know when we will meet again, so..."

At this point, Fu Huan paused inexplicably, and then his tone became dull for no apparent reason.

"Huaiyu, just let me be a little more willful. This way, I can worry less."

care?

When he heard her say this, Lu Chen's expression suddenly became a little strange.

It's not the right word to use as a gift for a good friend... Tsk tsk, this girl is usually meticulous and serious in everything she says and does. I didn't expect that there would be times when she spoke inappropriately.

Chai Hongyu on the side looked surprised.

She looked at Fu Hua carefully, as if she wanted to see something from her, but even if the latter noticed her strange gaze, his eyes did not waver at all. He looked at Lu Chen so openly, as if he wanted to Lu Chen's appearance was deeply imprinted in the deepest part of his heart.

Lu Chen shook his head.

"Okay, then Lao Liangyu will escort you on the next section of the road."

Seeing that he agreed, Fu Hua suddenly raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and the melancholy and dullness in her eyes dissipated a little.

However, seeing that Lu Chen's expression was as normal and he was obviously not affected by the slightly outrageous words just now, she couldn't help but lower her eyes, with a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.

The three of them had different thoughts. The Jueying Divine Horse given by the Empress had the ability to read the atmosphere and galloped along the horse path out of the city at an extremely fast speed.

…………

Two days flew by.

Northern Hebei Province, Nanpi City.

Dingyuanhou Mansion.

"mother."

Gu Simiao looked expressionlessly at the old lady who was lying on the bed looking sick and had brought countless troubles to her life. She said calmly: "If you pretend to be sick and trick me into coming back, it's just to let me arrange it." If a cousin, cousin, or uncle takes a job in the government, you'd better not talk about it."

Hearing that her daughter had directly exposed herself without any courtesy, a look of uneasiness flashed across Zhao's face.

"Hey, you kid, what are you talking about? Are you pretending to be sick? Is that the kind of person I am? Mom is just..."

She wanted to make a quibble, but Gu Simiao was too lazy to talk nonsense to her. She waved her hand and interrupted: "Although this level of disguise can deceive father, it can't deceive me. You don't know whether you are pretending to be sick or not." clear."

Zhao was choked and her face became a little ugly.

Gu Simiao turned a blind eye to her reaction and continued: "Let's not mention this anymore. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. I have official duties to attend to later and I don't have time to accompany you to fool around here."

For Zhao, a mother who only has her family in her heart, it is really hard for her to have a good impression of her as a daughter.

After all, she had been pushed into the fire pit by her biological mother more than once.

Not to mention anything else, just to pave the way for her mother's family, forcing her to marry Zhao Feifan almost ruined her life.

Not only was she cheated, but the entire Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was also almost trapped because of her actions such as randomly taking sides, using the influence of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to infiltrate her family members in the military and political circles, and relying on the political resources obtained by selling her daughter to strengthen the Zhao family. There is no recovery.

This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!

If Lu Chen hadn't been born and supported him at all costs in the court, everyone in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion would have had grass on their graves three feet high.

After such a cruel lesson, the Zhao family actually only stopped for a year before reappearing as a demon. She repeatedly tried to use her current power to seduce the Zhao family in Dingbei Mansion. How could she agree to such an act?

Although as a senior official in the empire, she does have the power to recruit talents and freely mobilize various political, military and economic resources within her jurisdiction. Dingbei Mansion does have some vacancies, so arranging a sinecure is not a big problem.

But she really didn't want to deal with the greedy gangsters in Lao Zhao's family, and even a mere idle job couldn't satisfy the family's appetite.

Regarding her mother, she couldn't say much due to the relationship between mother and daughter, but she was extremely disgusted with those cousins.

In the past, she might have given them official positions for her mother's sake, but now, under the influence of Lu Chen, a man who couldn't tolerate dirt in his eyes, she didn't want to get involved in even the slightest bit of gossip. superior.

The unkind words made Zhao's face look even more ugly.

But she didn't dare to have an attack. After all, she had finally deceived Gu Yanming and deceived her daughter back. If Gu Simiao just left after a disagreement, it would be even harder to see her later.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, and then forced a smile and said softly: "Miao'er, you misunderstood my mother. My mother does not intend to let you arrange official positions for your cousin and the others. "

Gu Simiao raised her eyebrows, but did not speak, just looking at Zhao without saying a word.

He looked like he was watching what tricks she was playing.

Mrs. Zhao looked a little unnatural as she stared at her.

She didn't have much money to begin with, so she was naturally not good at hiding her true inner thoughts.

In the final analysis, she is just a woman who has no bottom line towards her mother's family.

"That's right."

She smacked her lips and said slowly: "Your second uncle came over a few days ago and cried to his mother, saying that Fang Yu, the magistrate of Yongning Prefecture, has been targeting our Zhao family for some reason since he took office. Either he goes to search various properties of the Zhao family from time to time and makes a mess, or he willfully humiliate the children of the Zhao family. "

Speaking of this, her face showed resentment.

"That man surnamed Fang went too far. He took your cousins ​​to the magistrate's prison and tortured them on a random charge. He is still suffering the crime now. Even your second, fifth, and seventh cousins They were also sentenced to death, and Xun'er and a dozen of them were sentenced to exile. "

"Miao'er, who in the whole of Northern Hebei doesn't know that the Zhao family is my mother's natal family and the in-laws of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. They know this, but they still act so arrogantly and without scruples. Obviously they have not let you, the governor, go. In my eyes, I don’t take Dingyuan Marquis Mansion seriously. This is obviously a slap in your face!”

After a pause, she seemed to be thinking of the miserable situation of her nephews and nieces in the prison. She was filled with sadness and said while wiping away tears: "Miao'er, you also know that your cousins ​​have always been law-abiding and never caused trouble. They have treated us very well." We have always been respectful, and the Zhao family has always been a good family, never doing evil to others..."

Hearing this, Gu Simiao suddenly couldn't help but sneered.

"Oh."

Zhao raised her head and looked at Gu Simiao, with a flash of dissatisfaction in her eyes.

"Miao'er, why are you laughing?"

Gu Simiao did not answer, but sneered: "Stand by yourself? A family that accumulates good deeds? Never do evil to others?"

As she spoke, she suddenly raised her hand, took out several photo scrolls from the Qiankun Ring, opened them and threw them in front of Zhao.

"You mean that those who do evil to you cannot be regarded as human beings in the eyes of your Zhao family, right?"

Click…

The photo scroll opened, and a curtain of light appeared in front of Zhao.

The next second, when he saw the scene in the light curtain, Zhao's expression suddenly changed. (End of chapter)
