The foolish girl returns, and the regent becomes a wife-loving madman

The emperor stared at the box containing the imperial seal for a long time until he heard footsteps and gradually came back to his senses.

Looking at Xie Lingxiao walking out of the palace, the emperor said, "My brother, wait a minute. I have something to ask you."

Hearing his words, Xie Lingxiao stood in the distance, just waiting for him to finish speaking quickly and return home as soon as possible.

"When will you bring the two children to the palace so that I can see my two nephews?"

Xie Lingxiao turned and walked out: "They are too young to be carried out of the palace. We can do it when they are older."

Thinking of the way the emperor had questioned him just now, Xie Lingxiao shook his head slightly.

He didn't want the emperor to see his son.

There is no reason, I just don't want to.

The emperor watched his disappearing figure and looked at Eunuch Deng in confusion.

"Why doesn't he want me to look after the two children?"

"Maybe he's really worried that the child is too young."

The Emperor has attempted to assassinate Xie Lingxiao countless times in the past, and now that he has just confessed everything, he is overly enthusiastic towards the two children. How can he not be on guard?

If it were someone else, even if they couldn't take revenge, they would rather not have any contact with each other until they died.

The emperor stared at the palace door in a daze for a long time, and then sighed slightly.

How could he not know what Xie Lingxiao was thinking, but all he wanted to do was to compensate him more.

The next morning, the entire Shangjing City was unusually lively.

Citizens from all over the city rushed to the Dali Temple, pointing and talking at Lu Zhong in the prison car.

"Prime Minister Lu used to be diligent and caring for the people, why would he do something like this?"

"Who knows? I'm afraid only he himself knows."

"Seeing him restrain himself and return to propriety, I never expected that Xie Zihan was actually his and the queen's child."

The people around them heard the conversation between the few people and showed mocking expressions.

"A person like Xie Zihan is not worthy of being a crown prince. Not being a prince can explain why he is so incompetent."

"That's right. He is not the crown prince of Beiling Country. That is Beiling Country's blessing. If he were really allowed to become the emperor, we, the common people, would not know what kind of life we ​​would live."

"The emperor is merciful. Even though he knew Xie Zihan's identity, he did not disclose it. They should be grateful."

Another person said angrily: "Gratitude? Does he know what gratitude is? He only knows how to be ungrateful."

"..."

As people around continued to talk, the guards drove the carriage around the capital city and finally arrived at the execution site.

In the crowd, Lu Zhenyu and Mrs. Lu watched all this calmly.

Everything that Lu Zhong is experiencing now is his own choice, and when he made the choice, whether successful or failed, he never thought about their situation.

Success, Lu Zhong and the queen were at the top, enjoying wealth and glory.

fail... ...

The two had been planning for many years, and they never thought of failure, nor did they think about the consequences of failure.

Lu Zhong never mentioned all this to Lu Zhenyu and Mrs. Lu.

Lu Zhong was taken to the execution platform. He ignored the comments of the people around him and looked around for a familiar figure.

But there were too many people who came to watch the execution, and he looked for the person he wanted to see again and again, but still didn't see him.

He lowered his head and looked at the ground. Thinking of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion being exiled, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

After all, he was confused for a moment and made such a big mistake.

It was also he who implicated the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, causing his wife and children to be exiled thousands of miles away and unable to return to the city.

Lu Zhong knelt on the execution platform and regretted secretly, but wrong was wrong and there was no chance to regret.

He couldn't change this.

Lu Zhenyu looked at the man who was covered in dirt and in such a miserable state without any sympathy.

From the moment Lu Zhong decided to have a secret affair with the Queen, he gave up his legally married wife and their two children.

He never took them seriously or took them to heart.

"Do you want to go see him?" Lu Zhenyu asked.

Madam Lu thought for a long time and said softly, "It's good to take a look."

Let him look at himself, look at their children, and see what they have suffered because of his actions.

The two men walked forward slowly. Seeing this, the guards standing nearby drew their swords and blocked their way.

"Stand back, no one outside is allowed to come forward."

Lu Zhenyu said, "Sir, we are his family and we just want to see him off."

Mrs. Lu saw the official looking at her in confusion, so she stepped forward and explained, "I am the wife of Lu Zhong. The entire family of the Prime Minister's Mansion has been exiled. After sending him on his way, we will set off."

When Lu Zhong heard the noise, he suddenly raised his head.

Finally seeing the familiar figure, Lu Zhong's black eyes instantly turned red.

The officer confirmed the identities of Lu Zhenyu and Mrs. Lu and made way for them.

They came straight to Lu Zhong.

Lu Zhong knelt down and walked forward: "Madam... Yu'er..." He called the two people with difficulty in his hoarse voice.

Looking at their clothes and appearance, Lu Zhong finally shed tears of remorse.

Although what the Queen and Xie Zihan did made him feel chilled and regretful, it was far less than what he felt now.

His wife was a lady of noble family before she married him, and after she married him, she had no lack of fine clothes and delicious food.

But now, because of his insistence on his own way, he has been exiled and is wearing coarse linen clothes.

His son has been well-behaved since childhood and is well-versed in poetry and books, hoping that one day he will be admitted to a prestigious university and soar to the sky.

However, because of his actions, his career as an official was ruined, and his knowledge was wasted, with no place to put his talents to good use.

Lu Zhenyu looked at Lu Zhong indifferently, as if he was looking at a stranger, and there was no more emotion on his face.

Madam Lu was silent for a long time, and then she said softly, "Lu Zhong, if I could choose again, I hope we had never met, never got married and had children."

"Now that you are about to set off, I will let you see how miserable Yu'er and I are, and let you remember everything you saw today forever."

Lu Zhong's lips trembled as he stared at Mrs. Lu.

Before they met, what he feared most was seeing hatred in her eyes.

Now that he finally saw her, looking at her calm face, Lu Zhong suddenly fell to the ground.

I'm afraid that only if you don't care and are hurt to the extreme, you will become so indifferent.

Seeing that he was distracted, Mrs. Lu pulled Lu Zhenyu out of the crowd.

"If there is an afterlife, I hope you won't provoke me again, and we can just be strangers forever."

When Lu Zhong heard what Mrs. Lu said, he looked at the two people's backs in dismay.

The two figures gradually became blurred. Lu Zhong's body shook slightly several times and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Mrs. Lu and Lu Zhenyu seemed not to have heard anything. They walked straight away and disappeared in the crowd in an instant.

In the carriage not far away, Shen Jingxuan slowly lowered the curtain.

Thinking of what Mrs. Lu just said, I don't know why I felt sad.

Shen Jingxuan agreed with what she said very much.

If you don’t love each other, don’t provoke each other and don’t appear in front of each other.

Xie Lingxiao hugged Shen Jingxuan into his arms: "They are them, and we are us."
