My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

"Master Lu, are you feeling better?"

The woman sat in front of Lu Zhanyao, and the maid stood beside her.

Lu Zhanyao's heart tightened, and he dragged his weak body to sit up: "This lady...Isn't she Zhanyao's savior?"

At this time, I had just escaped from the prison by pretending to be sick. Who would come to see me?

Those former drinking buddies would probably be so scared even if they saw him, Lu Zhanyao, that they would retreat away and pretend not to know him.

The fact that this woman brought her maid to visit me must mean she was the one who saved me secretly!

"Yes."

The woman looked at Lu Zhanyao indifferently, and the blue birthmark at the corner of her eye was a little creepy.

Lu Zhanyao subconsciously took a closer look at the woman's appearance, trying hard to figure out who this woman was.

But he really couldn't remember, as an official in the court, which mansion kept such an ugly woman?

With such appearance, if she were a rich girl, she would definitely be famous for her ugliness!

If I were to be a concubine, I'm afraid no lord would marry me with this appearance...

Judging from her temperament, she doesn't look like the dignified main wife, and there is actually a bit of gloomy air around her!

"Master Lu, you don't need to look! You and I have never met each other."

The woman raised her lips and said, "To be honest with you, Lord Lu, I am the Empress Dowager's man! I have been secretly working for the Empress Dowager over the years, so I need to conceal my identity. Few people in Kyoto know me!"

Queen Dowager!

So, the real master who rescued him was the Empress Dowager!

Lu Zhanyao was excited for a while, but then he thought that when he and Wen Qiqi divorced, the Empress Dowager was extremely disappointed in him and even gave up on Lord Yu completely.

Why would he secretly send someone to rescue me?

He couldn't believe it, and subconsciously asked: "My benefactor is not lying to me, right? Is Zhan Yao worthy of being saved by the Queen Mother?"

The woman said coldly: "The Queen Mother saved you, so she must have saved you for a reason! Are you willing to serve the Queen Mother?"

Does Lu Zhanyao have any other choice now?

He has been dismissed from his official position. Even if the emperor lets him go, he can only return to his hometown to farm.

Besides, will the emperor let him go?

He is so smart that he has already figured it out clearly.

The reason why the emperor agreed to release him for treatment was probably because he didn't want him to die in the prison.

He had only done half of what Lord Yu was doing, which was just corruption and bribery.

More of the plots were left to rot in my stomach before I could execute them...

Lu Zhanyao posted a love story on his official Weibo account. People in the court said that he was sent by Lord Yu to do this. The Emperor has already raided the Lu Mansion. If he lets Lu Zhanyao die in the Sky Prison, it will definitely be said to be too harsh.

Lord Yu has committed suicide, and Lu Zhanyao has put all the blame on Lord Yu...

This allowed him to survive.

This time, he calculated correctly that if he cured the disease, he would most likely be exiled to a bitter and cold place to fend for himself.

So, faced with the woman's question, he had no choice!

"I will not refuse death! If the Queen Mother thinks highly of me, even if she wants my head now, I will be willing to give it to her immediately!"

After Lu Zhanyao finished speaking, the woman with the blue birthmark smiled slightly: "Very good, the Queen Mother was right about you! You can rest here and I will find a replacement for you! When the Emperor banishes you to a bitter and cold place, I will replace you..."

The woman paused, looked at Lu Zhanyao's face full of surprise, and smiled slightly: "But, you have no evidence, how can the Queen Mother tell whether you are really serving me or..."

Lu Zhanyao swallowed his saliva and said bluntly: "I'm afraid he will dig out his heart and show it to the Empress Dowager!"

"Haha! There's no need to dig out your heart. Just give your beloved baby to the Queen Mother!"
