Lu Qipei was not at all afraid of King Wei's witnesses. In the past half-month, she has already checked several sides of her subordinates, and confirmed that apart from the late Qi Bo, none of her subordinates were involved in the Chaoyanglou case. As for whether anyone from Xie Yuan fell into the hands of King Wei, she didn't care. Because Xie Yuan is dead, whether the rest of the people know her identity or not, as long as she doesn't admit it, it will be a bite.
If the first emperor and the first prince were still there, Lu Qipei would not be able to stand up to such a bite. But now that the two are gone, the little emperor still needs her and Qi Yang's support, so no matter what King Wei says or does, unless there is hard evidence, it will be meaningless.
Lu Qipei knew this, and so were the people present. So far, most of them are watching the excitement—Lu Qipei squinted at King Wei, not sure if he was really stupid or he had no plans.
King Wei came here full of confidence and didn't care about other people's eyes. Hearing Lu Qipei's words, he felt provocative. Only when she did not die until the Yellow River, she personally went out of the temple to get someone to bring people into the temple.
After a while, the so-called witnesses appeared in the hall. Lu Qipei glanced at the man and was slightly startled.
Qi Yang naturally noticed the change in her expression, he frowned slightly and leaned beside her, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Lu Qipei retracted his eyes and thought for a while, and also replied softly: "This person looks familiar, I think I have seen it in the Lu Mansion." After speaking, he was afraid that Qi Yang would be overwhelmed, and added: "There are also some ordinary servants in the Lu Mansion, I am only responsible for some chores in the outer court, and I was hired and purchased from outside."
Qi Yang understood what she meant, and looked at King Wei suddenly with two more unkind eyes - he actually brought in the servants of Lu's house to testify, or it was perjury, thinking that he had been planning for a long time. It seems that the other party is not only targeting Lu Qipei, but also her!
King Wei was triumphant, but he did not take Qi Yang's eyes in his eyes, waved to the witness and said, "Tell me what you know."
Facing the emperor and the high officials, the witness was obviously a little shy, but after listening to King Wei's instructions, he still stumbled and said: "Little man Zhang Wu is a servant of Lu's house and is in charge of cleaning the courtyard. The concubine once returned to the house before the Yuan Dynasty. , asked the housekeeper Qi Bo to talk. The villain was cleaning the Qibo courtyard at the time, and when he swept under the window, he heard the concubine talking to Qi Bo about 'fire, medicine' and revenge. The villain did not understand at the time What did the concubine mean, or did the Chaoyang Tower blow up in Shangyuan night, and Qi Bo died in Shangyuan, the villain, the villain understands…”
This is just a family word, but because Zhang Wu is a servant of the Lu family, it adds two points to this remark. But then again, how can you ensure everyone's loyalty in the mansion without dozens or hundreds of servants
After listening to the three teachers, the three teachers were noncommittal, but the little emperor pretended to be serious and asked: "That's it, there is no other evidence?"
Zhang Wu shrank his neck a little at a loss, and secretly raised his eyes to glance at King Wei, only to be stunned by King Wei before he said: "Yes, there is fire and medicine, there are fire and medicine hidden in the Lu Mansion, I saw it when I was a little swept. !"
Before Lu Qipei and Qi Yang heard the words, they muttered after watching the lively general of Zhen Guo for a long time: "It's a coincidence, a low-level servant who is responsible for cleaning, but the master can't hide anything from him."
Qi Yang couldn't help laughing when he heard this, thinking that King Wei must have bribed other servants of Lu's house, but those with a little status in Lu's house were not ordinary servants. They have been loyal to the Lu family for generations, how could they be easily bought off by King Wei? Even the person in front of him was only taken advantage of by King Wei because of the lack of control in the Lu Mansion after Qi Bo's death.
But this person's identity is too low, and he "knows" too much, which is the biggest flaw.
Lu Qipei was obviously not in a hurry, but just now he said calmly: "I usually don't go back to Lu's house, but only a few times after the housekeeper died. This person said that he saw me returning to the house before Shangyuan, which is absurd. As for the fire , I don't know about medicine, but please send someone to search."
Her expression was magnanimous, without panic, the little emperor and the third division were somewhat convinced. Only King Wei was a little annoyed, and seemed to recognize her guilt, and insisted: "Search and search, I still don't believe that you can do it perfectly!"
As soon as he said these words, Qi Yang and Lu Qipei looked sideways, and both of them were a little surprised.
But no matter what Qi Yang and Lu Qipei thought, King Wei was so flamboyant and noisy that it always had to end. In addition, Lu Qipei has actively requested, and the search has become necessary.
After seeing the face of his aunt, the little emperor nodded in agreement. Only now that Lu Qipei is in charge of Yulin and works in Dali Temple, the two people are not at ease, and in the end, he personally led the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion to search the Lu Mansion.
However, after searching the entire mansion, it was clean, not to mention fire and medicine, not even the fireworks and firecrackers left over from the Chinese New Year!
Back in the palace, King Wei was frustrated, but his eyes on Lu Qipei became more and more sharp - when others saw it, they would not believe that Lu Qipei had saved King Wei's life, on the contrary, they would think that the two had some deep hatred.
Lu Qipei was puzzled by King Wei's excessive hostility, and King Wei said to Shang Lu Qipei, "Don't think that if you hide it well, this king will not be able to find out anything, you surnamed Lu wait, this king Sooner or later I'll catch your braids!"
King Lu watched the farce for a long time, and finally couldn't listen to it anymore, and waved his hand and directly drove the person out of the palace.
However, no one knows whether this farce has left a trace in the hearts of everyone.
After the farce ended, Qi Yang and Lu Qipei returned to their home early.
Today, although there are loopholes in King Wei's accusations and inquiries, Qi Yang's maintenance in front of the palace is still sincere, and it has completely broken the awkward estrangement that remained between the two.
Sitting on the carriage returning to the residence, Lu Qipei coughed lightly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your protection today."
Hearing this, Qi Yang felt uncomfortable, frowned and turned his face away.
After all, the two have been married for several years. How could Lu Qipei not understand Qi Yang's thoughts, and the corners of his lips rose. But he was afraid that Qi Yang would see it, so he endured it again, and only sneaked up to Qi Yang's side, but he didn't see her escape.
Lu Qipei was completely relieved, she took Qi Yang's hand in her palm, and said softly, "A Ning, if you are willing to speak for me, you won't be angry with me, right?"
Qi Yang had mixed feelings in her heart when she heard this. She turned to look at Lu Qipei, but she was speechless for a while - this person used to have a light-hearted temperament. So cautious.
The more he thought about it, the more guilt he felt in Qi Yang's heart, and the more speechless Wang Lu Qipei became.
Luckily, Lu Qipei knew her the best, and when he saw Qi Yang's appearance, he guessed what she was thinking. She didn't realize anything, seeing that Qi Yang couldn't let go, she simply leaned forward and kissed the other party's cool lips: "If you don't speak, then I will acquiesce that we have made peace. ,OK?"
Qi Yang nodded lightly, and finally said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I'm taking my anger out these days."
Two months ago, it was Lu Qipei who said sorry, because Qi Bo participated in the assassination of Chaoyang Tower. And now the person who said sorry was replaced by Qi Yang, because of her anger and cowardice.
But how much does the whole thing have to do with them? But they were all involved by innocent people.
Lu Qipei didn't mean to blame Qi Yang, nor did he have the position to blame her for anything. She stretched out her hand to take her sweetheart into her arms, and the long-lost breath filled her arms, which also made her empty heart fall back to reality: "Don't mention these, let's be fine, okay?"
Qi Yang buried his head in her arms, breathing the familiar cold plum fragrance, and his heart gradually calmed down: "Okay."
Amidst the tenderness, all the way back to the Princess Mansion. The servants in the mansion could obviously feel that the relationship between the two had broken, and even the atmosphere of the entire princess mansion was much more relaxed. Although no one dared to laugh during the national mourning, everyone's footsteps became brisk.
During dinner, Lu Sheng was called over by the way, and the family of three finally got together again after going to the Yuan Dynasty.
The child didn't ask much about what happened in the past two months, which made the atmosphere in the house tense, and she didn't have the opportunity to meet the two of them. It's just that I was left out too much when I was young. The two months of being left out made the already cheerful dumplings become a lot more restrained... When Lu Sheng saw the two of them with her rabbit in her arms, she didn't know whether to join them or not. close before.
Seeing her timid appearance, Qi Yang thought of Lu Qipei who brought her hot water this morning for no reason, and suddenly felt a lot of pity in his heart. She beckoned and called Lu Sheng to come closer, and then she touched her little head and said, "Don't be afraid, A Sheng, my uncle and I have been too busy for the past two months, so I couldn't take care of you, and I won't be able to take care of you in the future. I will."
This is for Lu Sheng, and it's not a promise to Lu Qipei.
A smile flashed in Lu Qipei's clear eyes, and Lu Sheng nodded in face: "His Royal Highness and uncle are busy, A Sheng will be obedient and will not cause any trouble for you." She said, touching the little tail of the rabbit : "A Sheng has a rabbit to accompany her."
Hearing this, Qi Yang couldn't help crying and laughing at the fat rabbit, the last haze in his heart gradually dissipated, and the sullenness between his brows disappeared.
The next meal was easily spent in Lu Sheng's childish words. After dinner, Qi Yang took one big and one small for a walk, but unfortunately, the rabbit in Lu Sheng's arms jumped out and ran into the grass to eat.
Lu Sheng didn't leave, he squatted beside him watching the rabbit eat grass, raised his head and said to the two, "The rabbit is hungry."
In the spring, everything recovers, and many weeds grow in the garden of the Princess Mansion. Originally, these weeds would be removed by the gardener, but Lu Sheng's rabbits liked to eat them, so they stayed. After such a short time, the rabbit swelled in a circle like blowing air, and he didn't eat carrots. He liked to lie in the grass and eat grass all day long.
Lu Sheng also enjoyed watching the rabbits eat grass, but the two adults were obviously not so relaxed. The two stayed with Lu Sheng for a while, and seeing that the child was unwilling to leave, they simply left her to play with the rabbit.
Qi Yang and Lu Qipei walked side by side on the garden path, watching the flowers bloom in the yard, and only then did they realize that spring had arrived.
