My concubine is pregnant, I tear up the marriage certificate and marry another powerful official
Chapter 73 The Imperial Palace Rebellion
Lu Huaihe's eyes sparkled as he spoke. Su He thought of the glass of wine and guessed something in his heart. He hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Take care of yourself."
"it is good."
After Su He left, Lu Huaihe leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, tapping lightly on the armrest with his fingers, and the door was pushed open.
Baili Feng saw him and sneered, "You want to get married, why didn't you send me an invitation?"
Lu Huaihe opened his eyes and said in a clear voice: "My wife may not want to see you."
Baili Feng's attitude collapsed instantly. He glanced at the opposite side, and without caring whose chopsticks he used, he sat down and started eating. He took a big bite and asked vaguely, "Are you also siding with that fox to deal with this prince?"
Just as Su He framed Lu Zhili, the strategist he recruited, Lu Huaihe came to ask for Su He's hand in marriage. Isn't this a clear sign of protection?
"You are worrying too much, Second Prince. The Dali Temple is under the jurisdiction of the Emperor."
Lu Huaihe only obeys the emperor's orders. The struggle for imperial power in the court is a dispute among the princes and has nothing to do with him directly.
Baili Feng ate and drank voraciously for a while, then put his chopsticks on the table with a bang, wiped his mouth a few times, and smiled with some self-mockery: "You guys are finally happy..."
Unlike him, who is all alone.
During the holidays, there is no one to talk to.
"Why didn't you continue investigating at the beginning?" Baili Feng turned his head to look over. This time his eyes were deep and dark, unlike the previous wantonness.
His mother was the once-favored Concubine Rong. It was rumored that she had committed adultery with Prince Jin. There was evidence from both witnesses and objects. The emperor was furious and sentenced her to death with a cup of poisoned wine. She was sent to the underworld.
The entire family of King Jin was wiped out, leaving no one alive.
Thinking of the first case he took over at the Dali Temple, Lu Huaihe rubbed his fingertips with his fingers slightly bent, and said sympathetically: "When I first took over the Dali Temple, many things were controlled by others. That case has always been a knot in my heart."
His eyes were dark and unclear, with an inexplicable meaning surging in them.
Lu Huaihe was only seventeen years old when he took the position of Dali Temple Minister. At that time, there was a major case in the palace that concerned the reputation of the concubine and the Prince of Jin, so he was specially commissioned to investigate the matter thoroughly.
It's not that there are no clues during the investigation, but there are people above him who are suppressing him. Lu Huaihe has just emerged, lacks experience, and is controlled by others everywhere. Later, the emperor sent two decrees to punish Concubine Rong, and the King of Jin was exterminated. This case shocked almost the entire capital!
On the night of the execution, Lu Huaihe sat on the steps of the Dali Temple all night, staring at the evidence he had found. Later he realized that the essence of some cases could not be exposed to the public.
When talking about the case many years ago, Lu Huaihe felt somewhat depressed.
Baili Feng supported his head with one hand and played with an empty bowl with the other. The corners of his slightly red eyes were raised, and the corners of his mouth were raised with a bit of mockery: "It is precisely because no one helps and no one can be trusted that this prince will devote all his efforts. You can't stop me, Baili Jun can't, and as for the old emperor... Hehe, he killed my mother, I want him to live a life worse than death!"
When talking about his father, Baili Feng's words were full of contempt. In his heart, the two of them had long been opponents.
Lu Huaihe did not answer.
Baili Feng stood up, smashed the empty bowl in his hand to the ground, shook off the fragments that fell on the corner of his clothes, stood up and looked at him, and said coldly: "This prince failed to protect the person I wanted to protect, do you think you can get away with it? Overthrowing the Su family is a step in this prince's plan, and I will never let them go just because you married Su Ronghai's daughter."
Even if he couldn't become the crown prince or the new emperor in the end, it didn't matter. As long as the court became chaotic and the old emperor died with regret, everything would be worth it!
"If Concubine Rong were still alive, she wouldn't want to see you torturing yourself like this. From now on, Su He is my wife. If she accidentally offends you, I will apologize on her behalf. But if you intend to deal with her... I will be like you and protect her at any cost."
Baili Feng sneered: "She is just a woman. It is not decent for you to cherish her so much!"
Lu Huaihe raised his eyes and said, "Back then, Imperial Concubine Rong was also a woman, and the Emperor loved her and doted on her. Was that cherishing of her unfair?"
"Lu Yuan you!" Baili Feng was extremely angry. His mother was such a brilliant woman. How could a woman like Su He compare to her?
He clenched his teeth and couldn't breathe.
I'm just angry about Lu Huaihe's background.
If it was an ordinary official, it would not matter if he was beaten and scolded. But he was the only son of the old emperor's sister, Princess Zhaoyang. If he was hurt by mistake, how could the princess let it go?
However, since he was a prince, Baili Feng couldn't win the argument verbally, so he thought about using his status to gain an advantage.
Lu Huaihe saw through his thoughts, slowly stood up from the armchair, took a teacup, filled it with tea, and handed it to him while twisting it with his fingers.
"Calm down and calm down for a while."
Baili Feng glared at him resentfully. After two seconds of silence, he took the tea and gulped it down.
Lu Huaihe touched his head obediently, said goodbye, and left directly after closing the door.
Baili Feng was left holding the teacup tightly and wanted to smash it, but after taking a breath, he put the teacup on the table. The next second, he pulled the tablecloth, and all the bowls, chopsticks, plates and spoons turned into slag in an instant.
When the servant heard the sound of breaking, he hurried over to check. When he saw it was Baili Feng, he huddled outside the door and didn't dare to come in.
Baili Feng laughed crazily, took out a handkerchief from his bosom, wiped his hands, and raised his head and said disdainfully: "The losses are all charged to Lord Lu, the Minister of the Dali Temple. He has enough money to marry a wife, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to compensate for a table of dishes and chopsticks."
The servant nodded in agreement, just wanting to get rid of this ancestor as soon as possible.
The carriage was moving slowly but had not yet reached the gate of Su's residence.
Su He lifted the curtain and asked Qing Yun: "What kind of person is the Second Prince? What is the conflict between him and your master?"
There were only rumors about what went on in the palace, and the details were unknown. However, when the emperor favored Concubine Rong, he also showed special care for Baili Feng. In addition, the position of crown prince was not decided, and court officials speculated between the eldest prince Baili Jun and the second prince Baili Feng.
Later, the ending was stained with blood. After the death of Concubine Rong, Baili Feng completely lost his power.
Now that he is trying to make a comeback and want to grab a share in the struggle for imperial power, it will probably be even more difficult.
"Lord Lu has handled this case and had some interactions with the second prince." Qingyun answered while riding a horse.
Unfortunately, the case ended in obscurity.
Those who die will die, and those who perish will die.
If there was anyone who benefited from this palace turmoil, it was only Baili Jun, who obtained the position of crown prince.
Lu Mansion.
Liu Qiuqiu was waiting for news that Lu Yanxiu had gone to find the old immortal, but she got news that Su He was getting married. She was a little wary: "Who is Su He going to marry?"
Lu Yanxiu looked a little tired, and said impatiently: "Lu Huaihe, our uncle."
Liu Qiuqiu's tense expression relaxed. She thought Lu Yanxiu was going to marry Su He again. That was fine. As long as she didn't endanger her existence in the mansion, who did she marry?
