"Your Majesty, please respect yourself!"

Lu Zhaoyi was the first to react from the exclamation, his eyes flashed, and he was a little dazed as he stared at this impeccable appearance.

However, Xia Pei didn't care about all this.

The moment he saw Lu Zhaoyi's face, his pupils trembled violently, and a hint of surprise appeared, but after seeing her face clearly, it quickly disappeared.

Sensing the change in Xia Pei's expression, Lu Zhaoyi slightly lowered his eyelids, clenched his hands hanging at his sides into fists, and tried hard to suppress the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart.

She tried her best to break free from Xia Pei's arms and turned to leave.

"stop!"

Hearing the sound, Lu Zhaoyi paused, turned around, and asked respectfully: "Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions?"

"Why did you appear in Gouchen Courtyard?" Xia Pei narrowed his eyes slightly, and his cold voice froze Lu Zhaoyi's bones like ice.

Immediately, she was shocked, but she didn't show it at all on her face, "Your Majesty also said that this is the Gouchen Courtyard, so why are you also here?"

Xia Pei lowered his eyes and said, "It's because of political matters that I want to ask the military advisor for help."

"But your majesty brought his personal guards and entered the other courtyard in disguise, did you ever think that it would displease the military advisor?" Lu Zhaoyi couldn't help but sneered, and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute." Xia Pei shouted at her back, "You don't want to know who sent someone to murder the military advisor?"

This time, she walked forward without looking back. As she walked, she said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to waste your efforts. If you want to investigate, start investigating from the officials in the court who were originally from Yue and Jing."

."

After saying that, she left, leaving Xia Pei standing alone in the courtyard.

Xia Pei's eyes suddenly froze as he watched Lu Zhaoyi's figure gradually move away. After a while, he looked away.

"Preach my will and find out for me the leader who wants to assassinate the military advisor at all costs."

Over the years, he has become accustomed to it. Once he gives an order, he never makes a mistake and does not allow anyone to disobey his decision. "Yes." The subordinate responded and left.

…

On the other side, Lu Zhaoyi was not in a hurry to leave the courtyard, but went to the master bedroom in the backyard.

Soon, two men covered in armor hurriedly rushed outside the master bedroom door. One of them was Shadow Wind, the deputy commander of the Shadow Moon Guard, and the other was the commander-in-chief Ying Yun.

"My subordinate Ying Yun was lured into a trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain. It is really a crime of negligence and deserves death. Please give me a punishment, sir."

"My subordinate, Yingfeng, was negligent in guarding, which caused His Majesty and the killer to enter the other courtyard. His guilt is unforgivable, and he is willing to accept the punishment."

The two of them stood outside the door, like two stone sculptures, standing still.

After being in a daze for a long time, Lu Zhaoyi slowly walked out of the inner room and signaled to the two of them, "I don't blame you today, it's my own negligence. I know that when I return to Beijing this time, I will be monitored by many eyes and ears, but now I insist on going my own way.

The Lu family is rushing back."

"This subordinate is incompetent! Please punish me, sir!"

Shadow Wind and Shadow Cloud responded at the same time.

"Punishment?" Lu Zhaoyi snorted coldly, "Yes, if you should be punished, you will be punished. You two secretly investigated whether the right prime minister, Du Yan, and Situ Lulin had hired a killer to kill me."

"gentlemen!"

As soon as he said this, Yingyun suddenly raised his head, stared with surprise: "Sir, you are suspicious. Right Prime Minister Du and Lu Situ..."

Halfway through his words, he couldn't continue.

However, Lu Zhaoyi shook his head slightly and paced in the room, "Apart from the two of them, I can't think of anyone else who has murderous intentions towards me."

Hearing this, both of them were shocked, "Sir, you mean..."

Lu Zhaoyi was indifferent, "You don't need to worry, I have my own way to deal with this matter."

As she said that, she turned her eyes, her gaze piercing towards the two of them, and her tone was serious, "Remember, Du Yan is the only one, you have to be careful not to be noticed by him at all times."

Yingfeng swallowed inadvertently and said with firm eyes, "Yes, sir, I obey!"

"You go first! Yingyun stays!" Lu Zhaoyi waved his hand, signaling for Yingfeng to retreat first.

After Yingfeng left, she turned her head and looked at Yingyun seriously, "Time is limited, I will keep my story short, please listen carefully."

"Sir, just ask."

"I want you to re-investigate my father's case."

Yingyun raised his head and hesitated for a while, "Sir, the case involving Prefect Lu back then was not the fault of the old lady?"

After hearing these words, she appeared calm and composed, but in fact her heart was already turbulent.

Since her confrontation with Lu Huaide yesterday, she knew in her heart that her father's death may have something to do with the Grand Duke, but he was not the main instigator. What she wanted was to find out who was behind all this and avenge her father in her own way.

At the moment, of course she wanted to admit the matter, but she felt anxious in her heart. The result of three years of secret investigation turned out to be in vain.

"I can't stay here too long. I will contact you through secret messages in the future." Lu Zhaoyi waved his sleeves and turned around to explain when he left, "One more thing, you take my souvenir and order the leader of the Zuo Qin Hall of the World Alliance to bring three hundred

People came to Beijing secretly to cooperate with you."

Her voice was slightly cold, with a hint of hoarseness, "Remember, this must be done cleanly and neatly, and their whereabouts in Beijing must not be revealed."

As she spoke, she stared at Yingyun and left with confidence after receiving his affirmative response.

On the way back to the Lu family, Lu Zhaoyi felt uneasy. Not only did she learn that someone was planning to assassinate her, but she also knew that Xia Pei was always guarding the other courtyard. She couldn't help but worry about how he would treat her in the court in the future.

…

After a night, calm seemed to have returned.

Everyone in the Lu family was still sarcastic and sarcastic towards her, as if they couldn't stand it. Even the servants of the Hou family did not take her seriously, and they were all arrogant, which really gave Lu Zhaoyi a headache.

"Excessive!"

Gu Manquan has seen the attitude of everyone in the house these days, and he is now angry and dissatisfied.

"These people from the Lu family are so unkind to Qiniang. If Duke Wu is still alive, he will definitely teach them a lesson."

From a distance, Lu Zhaoyi looked at his young and tender face, the bulging look was very cute, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Qiniang, are you still laughing at me?"

Lu Zhaoyi put down the carving wood and carving knife in his hands, "Since you have nothing to do, why not go and deliver the letter for me?"

After saying that, she took the already written letter from the side and handed it over.

"Please give this to Qinyu Pavilion in Luojing Nancheng."

Hearing this, Gu Man was shocked for a moment, "Qinyu Pavilion? Tianxia Alliance? Is Qiniang going to fight back?"

"Yeah." Lu Zhaoyi nodded slightly and said nothing.

He is just a ten-year-old child. He remembers quickly and forgets quickly. The next moment, he took the letter and left happily.

Shortly after he left, there was a burst of noise outside Yutang Court, and soon two women were seen rushing in.

Looking at these two people, Lu Zhaoyi had a headache. One was the second mother, Lu Zhaowan, and the other was the fifth mother, Lu Zhaoxu. They always worked with Lu Chengye to avoid dealing with her. Even three years ago, they rarely appeared in front of her.

However, the second mother had already married, and the fifth mother's wedding was approaching, so her sudden visit would definitely not be a good intention.

Thinking about it, she frowned and looked them over, "Second mother is so lucky. She has become a married woman and can go in and out of the marquis's house as she pleases. Mother-in-law of the Su family treats you well."

"Qiniang!" Lu Zhaoxu shouted arrogantly, "You are so sinister and eccentric, do you still think you are a member of the Lu family?"

Lu Zhaoyi grinned slightly, "I'm afraid Wu Niang has forgotten that I have been kicked out of the house by the Lu family a long time ago. But you, if you have the time to come here to find trouble, why not think about how to please your future mother-in-law."

"you……"

Hearing her disrespectful rebuttal, Wu Niang choked and blushed, but was speechless and could only stare.

But Er Niang, who was gritting her teeth with anger, couldn't help but said, "It's amazing that you have become a disciple of the military advisor. The day before yesterday, you were disrespectful to your eldest brother and sister-in-law when you came back, and you made your eldest father sick to the point of being sick. Others are afraid of you, but I can't.

I’m not afraid of you, I will teach you a lesson for you today.”

As she said this, two thugs came in from outside. They seemed to be servants of the Su family. Looking at the torture sticks in their hands, they seemed to be serious about using them.

But Lu Zhaoyi didn't show any fear, and chuckled: "Second mother is so majestic. I have brought all the torture sticks from Tingwei's mansion. Do you know that if you steal the torture stick privately, you will be punished with a stick?"

"Stop threatening me, come on, just hit me!" Lu Erniang was furious and didn't care about her reminder.

However, Lu Zhaoyi remained calm, and then his tone became a little frivolous.
