"Wait a minute——"

Covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, Eunuch Fu and his men quickly walked around the back door of the general's mansion.

He avoided the smelly Lu Yitong with some disgust, suppressed his surprise, bowed his head and saluted Jun Yiyan, then glanced at the crutch that was still hooked around Hua Weiwei's neck.

"Uncle Lame..."

Shaking his head to signal his lame uncle to put away his crutches, Xu Wanchou cupped his hands and asked in confusion: "Eunuch Fu, it's so late, why are you here?"

"Not only our family, but His Majesty is also in the palace."

"Oh, His Majesty is here too?"

Unlike Hua Weiwei and the others who were suddenly nervous, Xu Wanchou was delighted and asked with a worried look on his face, "When did His Majesty come? Did you not disturb the emperor?"

"Ugh……"

With a deep sigh, under everyone's terrified gaze, Eunuch Fu simply explained, "Marshal Xu has not been feeling well recently, and His Majesty is worried, so he brought our family to visit him. Who would have thought..."

Covering his mouth and nose tightly with a handkerchief, Eunuch Fu frowned and looked at the mess at the entrance of the Marshal's Mansion. He sighed and shook his head. He bowed and reported to Jun Yiyan and others, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, His Majesty is now in the General's Mansion. He is curious about who was responsible for tonight's incident. You, Young Master Hua, and Lord Lu, please follow me into the mansion and report..."

"This……"

Jun Yiyan's heart was beating wildly and he suddenly skipped a beat.

Fearing that Lu Yitong would talk nonsense, he smiled and pretended to be calm to buy time from Eunuch Fu, "Eunuch Fu, before he sees the emperor, I will send someone to wash Lu Yitong first. Don't let him get dirty and lose his manners in front of the emperor, and alarm the emperor."

"Your Highness, this makes sense."

Xu Wanchou nodded in agreement.

He didn't know whether Jun Yiyan had anything to do with this matter, or how much he had to do with it. He was afraid that Jun Yiyan would take the opportunity to collude with others, so he didn't give him the chance to be alone with Lu Yitong, and looked directly at Uncle Lame beside him.

Uncle Lame nodded in understanding, and immediately hooked Lu Yitong's neck with his crutch, and said to Jun Yiyan and Eunuch Fu with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Highness, don't worry, Eunuch Fu, as soon as we enter the mansion, I will take Lu Yitong to clean up. I will make sure he is washed thoroughly, and the dirty things on his body will not pollute the eyes of the emperor..."

"That's good……"

As if he was blind to the turbulent undercurrents between them, Eunuch Fu smiled and nodded with a look of relief.

He respectfully made a gesture of invitation to Jun Yiyan, and then followed Jun Yiyan, and the group entered the general's mansion from the back door in a mighty manner...

After entering the general's mansion, the group split into two teams.

Eunuch Fu led Jun Yiyan, Hua Weiwei and Xu Wanchou to the direction of Qingxizhai, while Uncle Bo brought the filthy Lu Yitong to the stable in the front yard.

"Come in you!"

The crutch was hooked around Lu Yitong's neck. After Uncle Lame entered the stable, he used the crutch to push Lu Yitong into the half-person-high water tank in the stable.

He held Lu Yitong's head with a crutch to prevent him from coming out. After asking the servants to find him a simple set of clothes, he drove everyone out.

"Gudong Gudong..."

Lu Yitong was caught off guard and drank all the cold water in the jar. Although he couldn't see the quality of the water in the jar in the moonlight, this was a stable, and he knew without thinking that the horse washing water in the jar would never be very clean.

The dirty horse washing water plus his night fragrance, this taste...

"啕——"

The more he thought about it, the more disgusted he felt. Lu Yitong struggled to grab the edge of the tank, and then he lay on the edge of the tank and vomited with a wow sound...

He was vomiting heartbreakingly in the pungent fishy smell... Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. Uncle Lame stretched out his crutch and pushed him into the dirty water again with a "snap".

"Humph."

After repeating this several times, Uncle Lame took back his crutch with a sneer as he looked at Lu Yitong, who was pale and dying on the edge of the jar.

Sitting on the bluestone trough and pounding his lame leg, he asked in a cold voice: "Tell me, what exactly happened today? In addition to you and Hua Weiwei, was the prince also involved?"

"you……!"

Lu Yitong panted heavily, his face flushed and his neck thickened as he threatened, "You... you are so bold! I am... I am an official appointed by the imperial court!

You...you dare to humiliate an official of the imperial court, and it would be fine if you lynched me...but you also...you even framed the crown prince...what is your intention!

Just a…just a groom, do you want to die? !”

"Heh, your mouth is quite tough."

Uncle Lame sneered, stood up, stretched out his crutch and pushed Lu Yitong back into the water without mercy.

"Gudong Gudong..."

It was not until Lu Yitong rolled his eyes and stopped struggling that he stretched out his crutch and pushed Lu Yitong out of the water.

Looking at Lu Yitong who was breathing out more than breathing in, he sneered, "How about it, can you talk properly now?"

“Yes…yes…”

After recovering from the fear of death, Lu Yitong nodded repeatedly. He didn't even care about the nausea. He thought that a good man should not suffer a loss in front of him, and immediately responded in a very cooperative manner: "I'll tell you! I...I can tell you anything!"

"That's good."

Nodding with satisfaction, Uncle Lame raised his cane and threatened Lu Yitong with a sneer, "Master Lu, I am a rough man and don't understand the nonsense of you scholars. I only know that if you dare to tell me a lie, I will throw you into the toilet immediately and let you drink to your heart's content.

As for the Emperor, at worst I can say that you fell in there trying to escape. I'm sure based on what you did today, the Emperor won't care whether you live or die..."

"Okay, okay, I get it."

Lu Yitong leaned on the edge of the tank and nodded repeatedly, and quickly told Lao Bo the whole cause and effect of the matter.

Lao Lame listened to everything quietly, then he gritted his teeth and confirmed with Lu Yitong, "So, the purpose of your coming here today is actually to target our old marshal?

Besides, did the prince already know about your and Hua Weiwei's actions today?"

"Well, he knows."

"well……"

With a sneer and nodding, Lao Lame used the edge of the vat as a fulcrum, picked up Lu Yitong, and pressed his wrist to lift Lu Yitong out of the vat.

"Snapped--"

He carried Lu Yitong into another clean water tank nearby and ordered impatiently, "Quick, take off your clothes and wash them quickly. When you meet the emperor later, tell him everything you just said!"

"it is good."

Lu Yitong nodded immediately.

On the surface, he agreed without hesitation, but he had other ideas in his mind.

He knew that if he told the truth about this matter, not only would the prince and the Hua family not let him go, but even the emperor would not let him go as the culprit who caused trouble out of nothing.

For now, he must stick to his confession.

He had to follow the original plan and insist that all this was caused by Xu Wanchou's provocation at Hua Karichen's funeral, which led to the current result.

Although it surprised the driver, it was still an accident after all.

At most, he and Hua Weiwei were impulsive and reckless. Hua Weiwei would at most be reprimanded and confined to his room, and although he would be punished more severely, as long as he admitted his mistakes sincerely, he would most likely be demoted and still be able to save his life.

Although the result seems tragic for the time being, as long as he can protect the prince and Hua Weiwei, and let His Royal Highness the Prince and the Hua family see his loyalty, then he will surely be able to turn the situation around sooner or later in the future!

As he was silently cheering himself up, Lu Yitong rubbed his aching limbs and chest.

He accidentally touched the spot where Jun Yiyan had kicked him, and his heart tightened. Recalling how Jun Yiyan had hurriedly chased him to the Marshal's Mansion and pushed everything on him in front of the Marshal's Mansion, Lu Yitong frowned and felt uneasy again.

He could grit his teeth and not betray Jun Yiyan, but Jun Yiyan wouldn't go crazy and sacrifice him...
