When Lu Yueqin saw Fu Ruihai say such words, she thought that he had a way. She asked,"If Young Master Fu has anything to say, just say it. There's no need to be polite. This little girl is willing to hear the details.”
"First of all, this matter cannot be told to the emperor. The Emperor is suppressing Zhao Shengming. This time, He Yunxiu can enter the palace but Zhao Luyan can't. Anyone with eyes can see that. Otherwise, Zhao Luyan wouldn't be able to find you. However, it was not impossible for Zhao Luyan to enter the palace. Although there was no Empress in the Inner Palace, Consort Shu was in charge of the Inner Palace. It was obvious that Consort Shu was a modest person. If you went to beg her, she would definitely agree. However, he could not tell her that this person was Zhao Luyan. Otherwise, he would not have succeeded.”Seeing that Lu Yueqin seemed to be hesitating, Fu Ruihai added," As far as I know, Consort Shu has a good relationship with you. On your account, she probably won't refuse.”
"Looks like you know quite a lot.”Lu Yueqin smiled bitterly. She had long heard that Zhao Shengming had many eyes and ears in the Imperial Palace. Now it seemed that it was indeed true. However, these things did not seem to have anything to do with her. She did not want to think about it, but she was still worried." If Zhao Luyan wants to stand out, she must get close to the Emperor. I think this is her goal. If the emperor finds out about her identity, he will definitely be furious. Wouldn't that implicate me?”
Fu Ruihai smiled." Empress, you don't have to worry about this. Zhao Luyan will consider it herself." However, when she came tomorrow, the Empress still had to make these things clear and see how Zhao Luyan would answer, in case she suddenly changed her mind and caught the Empress off guard.”
Lu Yueqin thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense. This was the only way to agree to Zhao Luyan's request. Nodding, she said," I know what to do. Zhao Luyan will come tomorrow morning, so I know what to say. Thank you for your reminder, Young Master Fu. I'm very grateful."”As he spoke, he was about to bow to Rui Hai.
"Empress, you can't." Fu Ruihai suddenly felt that he was favored and was shocked. He wanted to help her up, but he knew that it was inappropriate. He could only bow to her." You are Consort Chen, and I am just a small figure. It is inappropriate for you to bow to me. Fu Ruihai can't accept it. Consort Chen, you can't do this. You can't break the rules.”
"This is the Lu Residence, not the Imperial Palace. There are no rules here. Young Master Fu saved my life, so I should thank him.”
"I don't deserve it. I'm doing this because I was entrusted by someone. Fu Ruihai also knew that Lord Lu and Consort Chen were good people, so he wanted to remind them to take care of themselves.”Fu Ruihai said humbly.
Lu Yueqin found it strange." I was entrusted by someone. Who entrusted me? I wonder if I can meet them?"”
"Is it Shen Xiyin and Huangfu Ye?”Lu Wangyuan immediately guessed the answer.
Fu Ruihai nodded." It's the two of them. To be exact, it's Shen Xiyin alone." Shen Xiyin remembered the kindness of Daren for taking her in and had no way to repay it. When she left Jiangluo City, she asked me to say goodbye to Daren and asked me to say a few words on Daren's behalf when Zhao Shengming and Zhao Luyan made things difficult for Daren. Since I've promised, I must keep my word. I've been with Zhao Shengming every day, so I know the temper of the father and daughter. Please listen to me, Lord Lu. No matter how dissatisfied you are with Zhao Shengming, going against him at this time is like throwing an egg at a rock. You won't gain any advantage. For the safety of Consort Chen, there were some things that one had to think twice before doing.”
"I know what you mean by that, and I know you're doing this for my own good. However, Zhao Shengming was so overbearing that it was unbearable to watch.”Lu Wangyuan seemed very angry." If this continues, I'm afraid that the country will change sides. It will be too late for regrets."”
"What, Lord Lu actually believes that Zhao Shengming will have such a day?”Fu Ruihai sneered." Your Excellency is 'bedridden' and doesn't come out every day. He doesn't know anything about the outside world, especially the matters of the imperial court. Then let me tell you, the Emperor has obviously distanced himself from Zhao Shengming. Otherwise, why would Zhao Luyan be in such a hurry to enter the palace? With Zhao Shengming's status, it would be easy for Zhao Luyan to enter the palace. He Yunxiu was the only girl chosen to enter the palace this year. As long as she entered the palace, He Zhong would be put in an important position, and He Huafeng would also be promoted. Lord Lu is so smart, he probably understands what the emperor means, right?”
"Are you saying that the emperor wants to use He Zhong to deal with Zhao Shengming?”Lu Wangyuan was enlightened. He Zhong and Zhao Shengming never got along. If He Zhong got the power, the first person he would deal with would be Zhao Shengming. Letting He Yunxiu enter the palace was indeed a way to rope in He Zhong. Thinking of this, Lu Wangyuan's blood boiled. If such a day really came, he shouldn't have been " bedridden " at home. Should he go to He Zhong and fight Zhao Shengming with him?
Fu Ruihai saw through his thoughts and hurriedly advised,"That's true, but Lord Lu must not think of things too simply. The Emperor was the fisherman who would benefit from the fight between the snipe and clam. No matter who won or lost in the end, the Emperor would have the last laugh. There was another point. Since the Emperor had ordered Zhao Shengming to seize the Night-Luminescent Pearls and silence them, Zhao Shengming definitely knew the secrets of the Night-Luminescent Pearls. If he used this as a last resort, Grand Preceptor He might not be able to escape.”
"It was Grand Preceptor He who helped us in the impeachment of Zhao Shengming three years ago. Otherwise, we would have been killed by Zhao Shengming long ago. How can I sit back and do nothing at this time?”Lu Wangyuan retorted firmly.
"But Lord Lu, you are now under the control of others and can't even protect yourself. What else can you do?”Fu Ruihai sneered and asked," If you're smart, it's best if you don't do anything. Just wait and see who will win in the end before making a decision." Of course, I don't want you to submit to Zhao Shengming, and you can't do that. But your current identity is indeed no match for Zhao Shengming. You can wait until Grand Preceptor He's strength grows before choosing to join him. Lord Lu, do you think what I said is right?”
Lu Wangyuan thought carefully and nodded."Young Master Fu's words are quite reasonable. I have benefited a lot. However, I still have one more thing to ask Young Master Fu. How are Miss Shen Xiyin and Young Master Huangfu Ye now? Are they safe? Have you contacted them?”
" This..." Fu Ruihai wanted to tell him about it, but he decided not to. If Lu Wangyuan knew about it, he would not ignore it. If he offended Zhao Shengming, or if Zhao Shengming knew about it, the consequences would be unimaginable. She endured it and decided not to tell him. So he said," The two of them are now outside the pass, thousands of miles away from here. It's really inconvenient for them to communicate. Besides, I killed Huangfu Lingtian, and Huangfu Ye is my enemy. How could he possibly associate with me? However, Lord Lu, don't worry. Zhao Luyan and Zhao Shengming thought that they were dead, so they wouldn't harm them. They should be very safe now.”
Lu Wangyuan thought about it and nodded." You're right. No news is the best news. I hope they can be safe. I'm relieved." However, Huangfu Ye probably wouldn't let things end so quickly. Especially when he knows that you are his father's murderer. Zhao Shengming and Zhao Luyan lied to him, so he must be very angry. If things go wrong, he might come back to take revenge. I hope that Young Master Fu can spare his life if he sees him.”Lu Wangyuan said and was about to kneel.
Fu Ruihai quickly supported him and said,"Lord Lu, don't be like this. Since I saved their lives in Jiangluo City, I won't let them die in vain. As long as I see them, I will definitely think of a way to protect them and send them away.”After saying that, Fu Ruihai sighed helplessly. It was easier said than done to ask them to leave. He had no idea where Huangfu Ye was and he was very anxious. However, he could not say these words out loud. "Lord Lu, it's getting late. Zhao Luyan is still waiting for my news. I can't go back too late.”
"Young Master Fu, take care too." He cupped his hands and watched Fu Ruihai leave. Lu Wangyuan retracted his gaze and saw Lu Yueqin frowning. She seemed to be full of worries, so he asked," What's wrong? Is there a problem?"”
"I'm thinking, if Zhao Luyan enters the palace, how should I get along with her?”Lu Yueqin seemed to be in a difficult position." Although she's my servant girl, look at her. Will she listen to me? How dare I order her around?”
Lu Wangyuan also looked helpless." But what if you don't agree? Zhao Luyan is determined to get you. She has something on you. We can only give in now." Young Master Fu is right. Zhao Luyan can be unreasonable in front of us, but once she enters the Imperial Palace and is in front of the Emperor, I don't think she will dare to be impudent. I don't think she will do anything. If you're still worried, you can ask around tomorrow and make a decision. No matter what, Zhao Luyan is the one who begged us this time. We can't let her be too impudent.”After hearing these words, Lu Yueqin was slightly relieved and nodded gently.
After Fu Ruihai returned, he told Zhao Luyan about the matter. Zhao Luyan was very happy."Senior brother is indeed senior brother. You handled the matter so thoroughly. I really didn't misjudge you. I believed that you would succeed long ago.”As she spoke, she couldn't help but pat his shoulder.
Fu Ruihai pushed her hand away in disgust and said coldly,"Don't be too happy yet. They agreed, but there are still conditions. They said that if you don't agree, there's no need to talk about it.”
"They still have conditions?" Zhao Luyan frowned. It seemed that Lu Yueqin was becoming harder to deal with after becoming Consort Chen. He coughed lightly and asked seriously," What conditions do they have?”
"It's very simple. We can't implicate them.”Fu Ruihai said seriously. Lu Yueqin was supposed to bring up this matter personally tomorrow, but he wanted to see Zhao Luyan's reaction, so he said it. After saying that, he looked at Zhao Luyan and saw the change in her expression.
Zhao Luyan snorted coldly and asked,"I want to use them. If I harm them, I will harm myself. Don't they understand? Why did they ask such a childish question?”
"You've misunderstood. They didn't mean it exactly like that. They were mainly afraid that the emperor would be furious if he knew your identity, and they would be implicated.”Fu Ruihai explained," Just now, you also told them that the Emperor deliberately did not allow you to enter the Palace. If he finds out, Lu Yueqin might not be able to bear the responsibility.”
"Hmph, I just want the emperor to find out. I'm really afraid that he won't find out.”Zhao Luyan said disapprovingly," Go back and tell them that I, Zhao Luyan, entered the palace for the Emperor. I want the Emperor to find out." As for them, I know what to do. I promise I won't implicate them and let them rest assured.”
"I don't think I need to go. You're going tomorrow anyway. Why don't you tell them yourself?”
"Alright, I'll tell them, lest they don't believe me.”Zhao Luyan said impatiently. Suddenly, she thought of something. She looked at Fu Ruihai and asked," Did Lu Yueqin tell you how she planned to bring me in?”
"If Lu Yueqin was really that smart and could think of a way, she probably wouldn't have to be threatened by you." Fu Ruihai smiled bitterly.”Seeing Zhao Luyan's dissatisfied look, Fu Ruihai did not console her. Instead, he continued," I was the one who gave her the idea. I heard that she has a very good relationship with Consort Shu. As long as Consort Shu is in charge of the harem, there should be no problem. However, the prerequisite is that you can't reveal your identity. Otherwise, you definitely won't be able to enter.”
