Hearing what the official said, the scholar who was pointed at by swords and guns turned out to be the empress of the imperial court. The officials and guests who were watching looked shocked.
How could they not know what the crime of attacking the emperor's master was?
After taking a look at the situation in the field, these officials looked at each other in confusion. Then they all made up their minds and walked into the field, blocking Lu Heng's face.
In the blink of an eye, the situation on the field took a huge turn.
Lu Heng's side, which was originally weak, gained the support of everyone present in the blink of an eye. Even the warriors holding steel swords looked frightened after hearing what the official said. They turned their heads,
Looking at the prince, he was at a loss for a moment.
Attacking the emperor's master is tantamount to rebellion, which is a serious crime against the nine tribes.
Originally, when the official said it, some people still didn't believe it. However, at this time, seeing so many officials standing beside the scholar, no matter how dull these warriors were, they knew that something was wrong.
"Nonsense, he is not the emperor's master!" Prince Jin did not expect that things would suddenly turn around. He originally thought of scaring Lu Heng, preferably so that Lu Heng would kneel down and beg for mercy. However, what he did not expect was that,
Officials who were originally close friends of his father suddenly turned against him and stood against him.
At this time, the prince's heart was in chaos, sweat was dripping from his forehead, and his eyes were blurred.
He raised his sleeves to wipe his sweat, pointed at Lu Heng weakly and said: "He is fake..."
Snapped……
Before Prince Jin could finish his words, he saw a figure dressed in pink appear.
Then, he saw the woman appearing with a frosty face. She raised her hand and slapped the prince on the face.
A snap, a crisp slap in the face, echoed in the night sky, and shocked the hearts of everyone present.
"Do you want the entire palace to die?" The sudden appearance of Princess Qinglan completely broke the stalemate in the field, and the cold murderous aura immediately disappeared.
At this time, the woman's face was as cold as frost, and the silver stars in her eyes were twinkling. She stared at the prince in front of her, covering her face, and said in a deep voice.
"Auntie!" Seeing the woman appear, the prince murmured with obsession in his eyes. For a moment, he even forgot about being slapped.
Princess Qinglan glanced at him with disgust, looked away, waved her hand, and said to her servant: "Your Majesty is tired, take him back to the house!"
After pushing away the servants, the guards on the left and right picked up the prince and walked towards the mansion.
The prince who was added up kept flapping in the air, shouting loudly: "Auntie, please don't be angry, please, I was wrong, wrong! It's all that person..."
Such words, combined with the way the Crown Prince looked at Princess Qinglan just now, everyone in the room could see that His Highness seemed to have a certain liking for his aunt...
However, these guys in the field are all old fritters who have been involved in the officialdom. Although they are like a mirror in their hearts, they all act calmly, like old monks in meditation.
The officials stared intently and lowered their eyes, as if they heard or saw nothing.
The prince was pulled in, and the servants holding knives lost their backbone for a moment and stood there, with cold sweat on their faces and at a loss.
"If you don't put down the sword, do you want to rebel?" Princess Qinglan's pretty face turned cold, she stared at the servants and shouted sternly.
After hearing what the princess said, the servants could no longer hold on and threw away the steel knives in their hands with a crash. Then, they all fell to their knees with a plop. They begged Princess Qinglan for mercy: "Princess Princess
Help! This villain doesn’t know!”
Kowtowing loudly, the hard stone slab broke the foreheads of these servants in a moment. But these servants, as if they didn't notice, were still crying bitterly, kowtowing like pounding garlic. The blood on their faces was very disturbing.
miserable.
Princess Qinglan glanced at them coldly, waved her hand, and said to her subordinates: "Drag them down, break a leg, and expel them from the palace!"
As soon as these words came out, the people watching couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
If a martial arts practitioner breaks a leg, what else can he do except wait for death?
Seeing this beautiful woman with such ruthless skills, all the officials felt mixed emotions.
"yes!"
After hearing the princess's order, the guards stepped forward and dragged down the servants who were kowtowing in thanks.
Until this moment, the atmosphere in the venue was completely calm.
The murderous aura disappeared, replaced by a very strange atmosphere.
Officials, they want to see how the newly promoted Imperial Master handles this matter. At the same time, they also want to see what Princess Qinglan will do!
So, everyone held their breath and waited to see what happened.
Princess Qinglan gathered up her skirt and walked down the steps. She walked up to Lu Heng. She raised her head and took a look. She was so close yet looked like a scholar far away. She lowered her head and bit her tongue.
Bit your lip.
Then, under everyone's astonished gaze, Princess Qinglan gathered up her skirt and knelt down.
Lu Heng looked at Princess Qinglan who was kneeling in front of him, his eyes flashing. Just when he was about to reach out to stop her, he felt his arm being pulled.
Turning around, he saw Hong Quan looking at him and shaking his head slightly.
Seeing the solemn look on Hong Quan's face, Lu Heng frowned and suddenly understood in his heart.
He is no longer the scholar he was back then, he is now an imperial master.
Although Lu Heng has not yet awakened to being an Imperial Master. But his lack of awakening does not mean that he can ignore the weight of this identity at will, especially what this identity represents.
Today, the Crown Prince of Jin made arrogant words and ordered his men to attack him. Not only did he threaten himself, but more importantly, he despised the imperial power.
As a child of the royal family, to despise the imperial power and attack the emperor's master is no less than treason and rebellion.
If I let him off easily today, not only would my status as Imperial Master be challenged, but the majesty of the royal family would also be insulted.
Therefore, Hong Quancai warned him.
You know, there might be a nightingale among the people present. If the emperor knew that he had spared the prince of Jin, he would definitely not let it go. Maybe even he would be implicated.
As he was thinking in his mind, Princess Qinglan knelt down in front of him.
She lowered her head, expressionless. She bit her lips and closed her eyes slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she kowtowed.
"My lord, my discipline was lax and I bumped into Mr. Lu. I hope you will forgive me!" Princess Qinglan's voice was respectful, but she couldn't hear the usual jokes and ridicules. The unfamiliar feeling made Lu Heng tremble in his heart.
For a moment.
Her delicate and delicate body, like the petals on the branches, is swaying in the night wind. Her pink dress is swaying lightly in the wind. Her cloud-like blue silk hair is slightly messy in the night wind.
Looking at the frail Princess Qinglan with her black hair dancing wildly in front of her, Lu Heng's face was a little stiff, his eyes were slightly closed, and he sighed in his heart.
By now, the fate between the two may have really been severed.
Although, in the past, I also knew that there was a lot of hostility between the two. However, a beautiful enemy, with a little ambiguity during the period. This feeling makes people feel extremely itchy.
In the past, Lu Heng would occasionally fantasize about the encounter with this beautiful enemy. But now, looking at Princess Qinglan's faint expression and unfamiliar eyes, Lu Heng felt vaguely in his heart that maybe everything was over.
Thinking of the time just now, His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, was calling one aunt after another. He didn’t care about Princess Qinglan’s face at all, and was just enjoying himself. Looking at the woman kneeling in front of him now, at this moment, Lu Heng seemed to be able to feel this
The heart of a woman who looks strong but is weak.
A woman from the common people was not taken seriously as a child and grew up in discrimination. Her biological mother passed away because she was ostracized. For more than 20 years, she was used to the indifference of the world, and she also experienced the dangers of people's hearts.
Growing up in such an environment, she must have longed for power and the submission of others more than anyone else.
but……
He raised his head and looked at the dense and imposing high-walled courtyard of Prince Jin's Mansion in the night.
Lu Heng lowered his head, looked at the woman in front of him, and sighed in his heart.
Things in the world are unpredictable and people's hearts are sinister. How can it be as simple as imagined?
Under the respectful gazes of the onlookers, Lu Heng sighed softly, bent down, and wanted to take the woman's arm.
Unexpectedly, Princess Qinglan, who was kneeling in front of her, glanced at Lu Heng, quickly lowered her head and backed away in fear.
The moment he raised his head, the strange and distant look flashed in his beautiful eyes, causing Lu Heng's hands to freeze in the air.
"Get up!" Lu Heng straightened up, looked down at Princess Qinglan condescendingly, looked at him intently, and said lightly.
Hearing this, Princess Qinglan closed her beautiful eyes slightly. She took a deep breath, kowtowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for your kindness!"
He stood up slowly, adjusted his long skirt, and then stepped back. During the whole process, he did not raise his head to look at Lu Heng.
"It is a great honor for the palace that Lord Lu is here. Sir, please!" Princess Qinglan moved away, put her hands on her waist, and said respectfully to Lu Heng.
Lu Heng glanced at her quietly for a long time, and saw that the woman's eyes were cold and lacked the previous enthusiasm. Lu Heng withdrew his gaze, nodded, and walked towards the door.
The moment they passed each other, Princess Qinglan looked at the scholar's back behind her, with tears shining on her trembling eyelashes.
However, all the surrounding officials came forward to say hello to Lu Heng, and no one saw the woman crying and looking sad and miserable.
In the night breeze, her long pink dress fluttered with the wind, and her black hair was flying!
At night, the palace was filled with colorful lights and a lively scene.
Along the way, there were constant greetings from people around him, mostly from unfamiliar faces. But the official who was the first to rescue him was blocked from behind and could not get closer.
Lu Heng glanced at the crowd and saw the lost figure of the official on the periphery.
After smiling, he walked straight towards the official.
Beside him, dozens of officials followed behind him. It was a mighty and spectacular scene.
"What are you doing here alone?" Lu Heng asked with a smile as he stood side by side with the official by the lake.
Upon hearing this, the official was startled. He turned around and found that the person standing next to him was actually the Imperial Master. He was so frightened that he didn't know how to speak.
