Chapter 548 I'm back, don't you know?
Lu Sui's deeds in the palace spread throughout the capital in less than half a day.
I thought he would be condemned by everyone.
But unexpectedly, this time all the people stood on his side.
"Two years ago, Young Marquis Lu was carried back with serious injuries. Everyone thought he was dead this time. The people in the Swift Wind Camp were in a panic. As a result, the next day, the Swift Wind Camp released all the pensions. During the second year's New Year, Madam Lu personally visited the injured family members to comfort them. No matter who was in need, she tried her best to arrange work for them."
"That's right. My husband delivers horse feed to the Swift Wind Camp. Not to mention during the Chinese New Year, even on normal days, the guards of the Swift Wind Camp always take the initiative to help my husband when they see how hard he works. When he leaves, they even give him food and gifts. When Young Marquis Lu was injured, the soldiers of the Swift Wind Camp went up the mountain to suppress bandits and maintain law and order in the capital."
"You're right. Young Marquis Lu always supports us common people. If he hadn't gone out to save the day, the Northern Qiang people would have invaded the capital, and we would all be homeless."
"We don't care what Young Marquis Lu's identity is. We only know that he truly stands on the side of us, the people. Not only did the emperor not reward him, but he also took back his power. How can this be justified in the world?"
"We will ask the Emperor to return Young Marquis Lu's military power. I will kneel at the palace gate now."
"I'll go as well."
"Our whole family will go. Anyway, I'm an old man and I don't have many years left to live. For Young Marquis Lu, I'm willing to risk it all."
"Let's go!"
A group of ordinary people spontaneously organized themselves and pleaded for Lu Sui in their own way.
After Chu Batian, who was in control of every move in the capital, learned of this, he immediately sent people to add many people to the team, and then asked his subordinates to publicize the matter to various places to let everyone know that Lu Sui, who had returned from a victorious battle, had been treated unfairly.
And inside the palace, the emperor's bedroom.
After listening to the eunuch's report, the emperor was so angry that he kicked the eunuch and said, "What a bunch of rabble! Let Luan Fengyu deal with them quickly. If anyone refuses to change his ways, just kill them. There is no need to report to me."
The eunuch crawled out, and Taoist Fuchen walked behind the emperor and handed him some tea: "Your Majesty, Lu Sui's current luck has not only affected you, but also the luck of the entire Dazhao."
"really?"
The emperor was filled with astonishment. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then held Taoist Fu Chen's hand and said, "You are the only one I trust in the entire palace. You must think of a way to help me."
"Your Majesty, rest assured. Since you trust me, I will definitely help you." Taoist Fu Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of darkness. "I have said before that the key to destroying Lu Sui's luck lies in Yuan Buwei, but she is a very cautious person and has someone protecting her. It is indeed a bit difficult to trick her into coming."
"That's not a problem. Let Luan Fengyu handle this matter first. If the people's voices are still very loud, I will invite them to the palace. Wouldn't that be a good opportunity?"
Taoist Fu Chen nodded quickly: "Your Majesty is wise."
Princess Jinghe's Mansion.
Princess Jinghe was teasing her son in her arms. When she heard what her subordinate said, a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes: "Who is this Fuchen? Why is he so determined to go against Lu Sui?"
"Princess, what's going on right now?"
"In that case, go find Luan Fengyu and tell him to make the people's voices louder."
When the emperor was bedridden, Luan Fengyu had already taken refuge with Princess Jinghe. With her help, he found out that the cause of his brother's death was related to the emperor.
Luan Fengyu had only one younger brother, but he died at the hands of the emperor. Over the years, he worked hard to climb to the position of commander, just in the hope that one day he would be able to find out the truth.
Now that the real murderer is right in front of him, how could he miss this opportunity?
Five days later.
Not only did the people's protests not decrease, but they grew stronger. Even the major families began to speak out for Lu Sui.
The first among them are the Xie and Shangguan families.
These two families are the best among the aristocratic families. Once they give a call, all the aristocratic families, big and small, will follow suit.
The emperor was very happy to hear the news and immediately summoned Lu Sui and Yuan Buwei.
"See the Emperor."
Long before, Lu Sui and Yuan Buwei knew what the emperor wanted to do, so they had made full preparations before entering the palace today.
"Lu Sui, Bu Wei, get up quickly."
The emperor personally walked up to the two of them, smiling: "Before, I was a little uncomfortable, so my words were inappropriate..."
"You are the emperor, and your words are golden. How dare a commoner get angry with you?" Lu Sui snorted coldly.
"Hu Tu, I didn't agree to your resignation. Let's sit down and have a good meal and drink some wine today." The emperor took Lu Sui's hand and walked to the huge dining table, which was filled with rare delicacies.
"emperor……"
"Lu Sui, no matter what, you have to finish this meal with me, right?"
Since the emperor had said so, Lu Sui could only obey: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Bu Wei, you come too."
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."
As soon as the three of them sat down, a palace maid came up to pour wine. As a result, the palace maid who was pouring wine for Yuan Buwei accidentally bumped into the wine glass when she moved her hand away.
The wine glass fell on Yuan Buwei's skirt and wet it.
"This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die."
"You bastard, you can't even do such a small thing, drag it on."
"Your Majesty, please spare me. I really didn't mean it."
When Yuan Buwei saw the maid's head broken and bleeding, she immediately said, "Your Majesty, I'm fine. It's just that my skirt is a little wet."
"That won't work. Wine isn't water. Someone, come here." The emperor waved his hand and two maids came in immediately. "Take Bu Wei out and change her clothes."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be so troublesome."
"Bu Wei, can I harm you?"
"My wife..."
The emperor's words left Yuan Buwei speechless. She could only stand up, salute, and follow the two maids out.
"Madams, where are you taking me?"
"almost."
After walking for almost an incense stick of time, they arrived at the palace where guests were usually accommodated overnight.
After Yuan Buwei entered a room, the two maids left.
"Mommy..."
As Yuan Buwei walked to the door, it was suddenly closed.
She felt something was wrong, reached out and pushed it, but found that it wouldn't open.
"Don't waste your efforts."
A voice came from behind. Yuan Buwei was startled and turned to face Taoist Fu Chen, no, it should be said that it was Jiang Weiming.
"Master Fuchen, why is it you?"
Yuan Buwei slowly calmed down and looked at him in confusion: "Have I ever offended you somewhere?"
"Bu Wei..."
Taoist Priest Fuchen quickly walked up to Yuan Buwei and grabbed her hand, his eyes full of desire and eagerness for her: "I am your husband Jiang Weiming, I am back, did you know that?"
