Female martial arts fanatics only love to fight, while men fight for their lives.

Since he dared to come to the court, he must be absolutely sure that he could cause harm to her.

Lou Xiao didn't recognize the two old men in front of him, but they looked like ordinary farmers, with wrinkles and ravines on their faces.

His eyes were cloudy, and one could tell from his look that he was an honest farmer.

He seemed a little overwhelmed by suddenly facing so many powerful people. He carefully looked at Lou Xiao in front of him, and after meeting her eyes, he quickly looked away.

"You said you knew me?"

Lou Xiao looked indifferent and asked doubtfully, "But I have no impression of you. Where are you from? What's your name? When did you meet me?"

The two old men looked at each other, not daring to reply.

Censor Zhu spoke up, "Why are you being so aggressive, Lord Zhenguo? You scared them."

She calmed down her tone and reassured the two old men, "Don't be afraid, His Majesty is watching from above. If you are right, then tell us openly, who is she?"

Some of the remaining civil and military officials watched from the sidelines, while others were not happy to see such things in the court and expressed even worse opinions.

"What are you saying? If you have something to say, just say it! Censor Zhu, why are you so enthusiastic? Did you invite them here?"

Few officials in the imperial court were happy to see the people succeed in their lawsuits. Once this door was opened, if the people went to beat the drum again in the future,

Even the smallest matters have to be brought to the court for their judgement. Do they have so much free time?

"I am just a small imperial censor. How can I invite people to the capital? If there is no great injustice, who would be willing to travel thousands of miles to the capital to be caned?"

Zhu Yushi boasted that he had devoted his life to the people and was honest and upright.

A wealthy young man like Duke Zhenguo Lou Xiao is of no use to the court. Apart from wearing fancy clothes to the palace every day, he also lives a luxurious life in the Duke Zhenguo Mansion.

Your Majesty is a wise ruler, but he has no heirs since he ascended the throne. He has ignored the great candidate for the throne, Li Huaiqing, and instead often summoned the Duke of Zhenguo, Lou Xiao, to the palace.

Rewards flowed into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion like water, which inevitably made people wonder whether His Majesty had any special hobbies.

If what the old man said is true, Lou Xiao is not of the Lou family bloodline, then he is the lover that His Majesty found outside.

He doted on her so much that he specially asked her to take the position of Duke Zhenguo so that she could always be with him in the capital.

Your Majesty is indulging in his own desires. As censors, they cannot allow Your Majesty to be so willful.

For the future of the court, those who seduce the emperor must be eliminated.

The old man hesitated for a while, knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times, and then said with the encouragement of Zhu Yushi,

"I am from Luoya Village in Huxiang County. What I said about knowing this gentleman is absolutely true and I am not lying.

Sixteen years ago, a strange woman came to our Luoya Village and stayed temporarily with a sick child. We knew at first glance that the woman was not an ordinary person. She was good-looking, and everything she wore was good stuff. We didn’t recognize her.

The old man glanced at Lou Xiao and said, "The child that woman is carrying is very thin. It seems that he has a disease since birth and needs to take medicine every day. The woman pawned all her good clothes to sell for money, but she couldn't cure the child's disease."

Someone glanced at Lou Xiao. The Duke of Zhenguo didn't look like he would get sick.

"What do these things you said have to do with Lord Zhenguogong?"

The old man seemed to be organizing his words, and bowed his head again.

"I live next door to that woman, and every day I hear the child crying like a kitten. We all say privately that we probably can't keep the child alive.

Someone suggested to the woman that she should just give up the child, since there were many children in the village. The woman refused, but eventually she found a similar child from somewhere and raised him together.

A healthy, aggressive, and naughty one,

A thin and sickly person who could die at any time.
