Li Chengyu suddenly realized for a moment that the past was still vivid in his mind, but before he knew it, time had passed and things had changed.
In the study room of Bei'an Houfu, Qing Shenyuan lowered his head slightly and reported everything that happened these days.
Lu Qing played with the jade ring in his hand. There was no expression on his face. He just raised his eyes after Qing Shenyuan finished speaking.
"Oh? In other words, we have not gained anything these days, but we have also fallen into the trap set by others, lost a lot of people, lost our informants, and also completely exposed our own identity?"
Qing Shenyuan did not argue, and knelt down directly: "Ameng is not doing well, please master punish me."
Lu Qing's eyes were dim and unclear, and he looked at the person in front of him with a half-smile.
"Ameng, it's been quite a while since I bought you back at the auction, right?"
"Five years and seven months."
Lu Qing smiled: "Ah, it's not short anymore, but since you started with me, I seem to have never punished you."
"It's my subordinate who failed my master's love. It's A Meng who didn't do things well. I can accept any punishment. I just ask the master not to drive me away."
Lu Qing stood up, crossed the table and walked towards her. He gently pressed his hand on Qing Shenyuan's shoulder.
"How can I be willing to chase you away? You are so beautiful, I can't even bear to punish you."
"Master, I'm sorry."
Lu Qing patted her shoulder: "Well... To be honest, you are actually very good. Li Chengyu and the others have resorted to this method in order to find out the traitor. I haven't thought of it yet. Get up."
"yes."
"I'm going to see my brother. You go down and receive your punishment."
Lu Qing said he couldn't bear it, but he just said that Qing Shenyuan was not surprised. It would be strange if he was really fascinated by her face.
"Yes, I am resigning."
"By the way, that Lin Jue." Lu Qing chuckled, "You must find it for me and live."
Qing Shenyuan said: "Master, don't worry."
Lin Jin looked at the bloody clothes behind her and frowned slightly.
"This seems to be the first time you have been punished."
Qing Shenyuan was drinking from a jar of wine, but she only glanced at Lin Jin when he came.
"Come to see a joke?"
Lin Jin sneered: "Who am I to laugh at you?"
It must be said that he has been punished much more times than Qing Shen Yuan in recent years.
"Aren't you going to take medicine?"
Qing Shenyuan said indifferently: "I can't die, the pain will last forever."
Lin Jin was amused by these words and took out a bottle to give to her. Before Qing Shenyuan refused, he said: "Young master gave it to me, take it."
At this moment, he saw the rare trace of emotion in Qing Shenyuan's eyes.
"Thanks."
Lin Jin had always been curious about why Qing Shenyuan fell in love with the young master. For Lin Jin, who had been with Lu Qing for ten years, he found Qing Shenyuan's feelings very baffling.
Lin Jin was absolutely loyal to Lu Qing, but he also had a lot of fear. This master was really the kind of moody person who would be kind to you one second, but might give you a knife the next.
For such a person, loyalty can be achieved, but love...
Except for Mu Yingran who was deceived by his appearance, Lin Jin, who knew his true character well, wondered if Qing Shenyuan was abnormal in some way.
"Why on earth do you like Young Master?"
Qing Shenyuan paused after hearing this and glanced at him without saying anything. Lin Jin touched his nose angrily and accidentally asked.
Just when he was dazed, Qing Shenyuan suddenly poured the half-jar of wine he had saved directly onto his wound, then dropped the jar and left without saying a word.
Lin Jin was stunned. Look, people who like Lu Qing are not normal people.
Lu Qing has met countless people in the past two days since he came back. He has been promoted to a high position and is naturally crowded with people. Lu Tingyun took the time to not receive him, so he pushed him out. They were all flattery, which was boring, but for the sake of the future
We can’t all be turned away.
You have to deal with these people in the front, and you have to appease Mu Yingran later.
In fact, Mu Yingran is quite easy to deal with. It was his brother who gave him a big head and made him sarcastic in the military camp. Didn't he say that Mu Yingran was a gentleman?
Go to hell!
"Lu Qing!" Mu Yingran waved to him from a distance and ran over happily.
"Yingran."
"You haven't come to see me in the past two days since you came back." Mu Yingran said with a little blame in her tone.
Lu Qing said with a smile: "It's not like you don't know. How can I visit you in our current situation? Your brother probably won't let me enter your house, right?"
"No way!" Although she said this, Mu Yingran was still unsure.
Her brother is extremely rude and unreasonable towards his family, especially her sister, but he is still very kind to most outsiders. However, it is obvious that Lu Qing is not a family member, but he is also excluded from most outsiders.
Inside.
Lu Qing: "Okay, let's go. It's my fault. I've been too busy recently. Let's go. I'll take you out to play today. You can go wherever you want."
Mu Yingran has not been outside the Bei'an Marquis Mansion in the past two days. If she is seen by those officials in the court, she may not know what she will say in front of her brother!
Mu Yingran was actually quite annoyed with the routine in the imperial court. Every time her brother came back from the army, a group of people would flock to her house and flatter her. She could memorize those words after hearing them for a long time.
In fact, Mu Yingran was in a passive state during this relationship, and she was not aware of this.
But she can also understand that Lu Qing has various involuntary actions. She understands and is willing to wait.
Tanyou grabbed Hua Ling's ears, ignoring her resistance.
"Tell me, what exactly did you say to that idiot prince of your family, huh?"
"Oh! You actually dare to pull my ears! You're so presumptuous!"
Tanyou: "Which charming princess in the palace have you stayed with for a long time? Stop talking nonsense! Be honest, or I will kill you!"
Hua Ling covers her ears and purses her mouth. This flower is so cute, but Tanyou actually pulls her ears! How presumptuous! Humph!
"Zhixia told you? Then you should know everything, why are you asking me?"
Tanyou crossed his arms and snorted: "I asked you why that idiot prince looked at me so strangely recently. It turns out it's you. You're good enough. What kind of influence did those crappy books give you?"
"Then what can I do?" Hua Ling pouted, "It's a good thing I responded quickly when the prince asked, otherwise, as the oldest old woman, you must have a reason for not getting married, and you also
Didn’t go back to the grassland.”
"Who are you calling the old woman?"
"What are you shouting for?" Hua Ling covered her ears, "It's based on your identity."
Tanyou: "So you just want to give me the reputation of being a bad guy?"
"What's wrong with me?" A certain little flower spirit's voice became smaller and smaller because of its guilty conscience.
Tanyou pointed at herself: "You are an old woman?" Then she pointed at Hua Ling, "Hey, don't forget, you are older than anyone else!"
Hua Ling put her hands on her hips: "I don't! Although I am powerful, I am cute!"
Tanyou said scornfully: "Who said you are powerful?"
"I'm not that old. Based on the time I came to this world, I'm less than ten years old! I have a high level of cultivation, but I'm cute!"
Ming Feng and Fei Xun helplessly watched the whole quarrel between these two childish ghosts: "Tsk, tsk, is Tanyou infected by Gardenia?"
Feixun: "What does this have to do with Gardenia?"
"Gardenia's quarrel is so childish."
"Is Gardenia childish?"
"Childish."
"..."
Tanyou snorted coldly: "But then again, when it comes to age, that idiot prince of your family is the one who is old! He is an old man who got married late!"
Hua Ling was furious and almost jumped up: "You are talking nonsense! My prince is the best! He is not old at all! If you want to say old, you don't even know how old the prince is! You big stick!"
Tanyou: "...what did you say about me?"
In Hua Ling's eyes, her prince is the best! No one can say anything about it, anyone who says it is a stick!
Fei Xun: "Brother Ming Feng, aren't you bored?"
Ming Feng shook his head: "It's not just boring, it's downright boring."
Fei Xun was surprised: "Then you still want to read?"
Ming Feng let out a long sigh: "There is no other way, we have to find materials for our livelihood."
Fei Xun patted Ming Feng on the shoulder: "I didn't expect Brother Ming Feng to care so much about our bookstore. Then you continue, I'll leave first!"
Ming Feng waved his hand and continued to watch this boring quarrel. He had already thought about the content of the next episode and deepened it. He wrote Tanyou as the object of his favorite prince and sacrificed Tanyou to make the story a little fuller...
…
Li Chengyu was chatting with Mu Sirong when he suddenly sneezed.
"Hey, how many times has this sneeze happened? Are you catching a cold?"
Li Chengyu: "No, could it be that... someone is thinking about me?"
Before Mu Sirong said anything, Li Chengyu thought to himself again: "She must be my little princess. Hey, when I'm not with her, she misses me so much that she always laughs and laughs."
Mu Sirong: "..."
Can you bear this? You have a wife? He not only has a wife but also a son!
Thus, Prince Yu and General Mu began a back-and-forth showdown between men.
Shen Miaomiao, who had just entered, silently retreated.
"Ye Linwei?"
"Yes, to report to the Emperor, I have found out the existence of Ye Linwei and found out its specific location today. It is a pity that in the end, things went wrong and I alerted the enemy. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Huh, sure enough," Li Chenglan sneered, "I'm just wondering, how could he not have a backup plan? I'm afraid he has been thinking about my position for a long time!"
The incense burner next to him was knocked over, and Li Chenglan was full of rage.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
"I really don't know what's so special about him. Why am I obviously the emperor, but I'm suppressed by him everywhere? Even my people and my mother and queen are all facing him!"
Lu Qing: "Your Majesty, calm down. Your Majesty will always be your Majesty. Prince Yu is good at deceiving people, but I didn't expect that he would... raise private soldiers..."
Li Chenglan suddenly smiled and seemed to calm down: "Brother Huang has always been thoughtful, which is not surprising. But Lu Qing, I think you should know how to do it."
Lu Qing: "I will do my best to share the emperor's worries."
