Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven
Chapter 256: Splendid Peace and Lu Jiaxue 11
Since that last time, Lu Jiaxue was stopped by Luo Shenyuan or Luo Yiyu's father every time he visited the Luo Mansion. Yiyu, on the other hand, often used the snow lotus in her space to make various skincare products and sold them at Yining's shop. When she was bored, she would learn needlework and embroidery from Madam Luo, and her days were quite pleasant. Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, three months had already passed.
One morning, news arrived from the imperial farm that the sweet potatoes and potatoes were ready for harvest. So Luo Shenyuan arrived early with several boxes, filling them with freshly dug sweet potatoes and potatoes. He was overjoyed to see the bountiful harvest. After all, it was the fruit of his hard work! That morning, while the court was discussing state affairs, Luo Shenyuan approached, carrying a wooden box. He opened it, revealing fresh sweet potatoes and potatoes. He reported to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I have recently discovered two new crops with astonishing yields, reaching as high as 800 kilograms per mu!" The emperor was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Bring them up so I can see. Are they truly so productive?" Seeing the emperor's interest, Luo Shenyuan suggested, "Your Majesty, why don't we go to the fields and see for ourselves how much this one mu of land can produce?" The emperor readily agreed and led his ministers to Huangzhuang in Yiyu.
When they arrived at Huangzhuang, the servants were busy digging sweet potatoes in the fields. After a while, all the potatoes were dug up and weighed, and the yield per acre was a staggering 870 kilograms! The emperor was thrilled to hear this figure and quickly ordered his servants to continue digging.
After all the sweet potatoes and potatoes were harvested, Luo Shenyuan followed the instructions his elder sister had given him and had the chefs prepare a sumptuous banquet with the ingredients. He then invited the emperor and his ministers to enjoy the feast. The emperor took a bite of the sweet and delicious sweet potato, then picked up a piece of braised pork and potatoes with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. Before he had even taken a few bites, his stomach was already full. He was overjoyed and praised this novel food. Luo Shenyuan then told the emperor that this crop could be grown twice a year and harvested in just three months. Upon hearing this, the emperor immediately ordered Luo Shenyuan to send all the sweet potato and potato seeds to the Ministry of Revenue, along with the planting methods. The emperor also requested that these seeds be planted on the imperial farm for breeding so that they could be promoted throughout the country the following year.
In this way, thanks to Luo Shenyuan's efforts, sweet potatoes and potatoes successfully attracted the attention of the emperor and laid the foundation for their promotion nationwide.
Upon returning to the palace, the Emperor learned that the discovery of the improved seedlings was actually made by Princess Anping and carried out by Luo Shenyuan. He was filled with admiration for both. He immediately decided to promote Luo Shenyuan to the position of Minister of Revenue, and Princess Anping to the rank of Princess Anping. Luo Shenyuan was overjoyed at this unexpected news, but he did not forget his mentor. Taking this opportunity, he presented the Emperor with the letter Luo Yiyu had given him and earnestly requested that the Emperor exonerate his mentor.
The emperor unfolded the letter and flew into a rage. The truth within shocked him; he'd been kept in the dark the entire time! He immediately ordered the arrest of Wang Yuan. Meanwhile, Lu Jiaxue also learned of the news, realizing that his conspiracy with Wang Yuan could no longer be concealed.
Faced with the impending crisis, Lu Jiaxue was extremely anxious. He knew that if he continued to stay in the capital, he would be in dire straits. After careful consideration, he finally made up his mind to take Yiyu and leave.
At night, Lu Jiaxue donned night clothes and quietly infiltrated the Luo residence with a group of secret guards. However, before they could find Yi Yu, they were spotted by the alert Luo Shenyuan. A fierce struggle ensued, while the secret guards searched the residence for Yi Yu, causing the women in the household to scream in terror.
Yi Yu sensed something unusual and rushed out. Seeing a group of people in night clothes rummaging through the Luo Mansion, she immediately unleashed her Qing Gong skills, darting through the crowd like a ghost, instantly knocking all the secret guards unconscious. She then hurried to comfort her frightened grandmother and the other women.
Meanwhile, in the front yard, Lu Jiaxue and Luo Shenyuan engaged in a fierce exchange, each using all their might, the fight raging. Witnessing this scene, Yi Yu, distraught, stepped forward without hesitation, attempting to separate the two. Seeing her elder sister approach, Luo Shenyuan, fearing he might accidentally injure her, quickly sheathed his sword. However, at that moment, Yi Yu, realizing Luo Shenyuan was in danger, rushed forward without hesitation, blocking the attack with her body. Unarmed, Lu Jiaxue's sword slashed her shoulder, instantly staining her clothes red with blood.
Seeing Yi Yu injured, Lu Jiaxue was horrified. He frantically dropped his sword and desperately tried to embrace her. However, Luo Shenyuan mercilessly pushed him away. Flustered, he ordered his servants to immediately find a physician, while he bandaged Yi Yu's wound himself. He completely ignored the expensive wound medicine, desperately pouring bottle after bottle onto Yi Yu's wound as if it were worthless.
Luo Yiyu lay pale in Luo Shenyuan's arms, her gaze fixed on Lu Jiaxue. Her voice was calm and resolute, as if she had exhausted all her strength to speak: "Lord Lu, Yiyu truly loves you. But I also have my own pride and dignity. I know I'm not Meimei, and I don't want to be used as a substitute. If you can't love me wholeheartedly, then please don't come to me again." After saying this, she panted slightly, a look of determination in her eyes.
After hearing this, Lu Jiaxue felt a sharp pain in his heart. He quickly stepped forward and held Luo Yiyu's hand tightly, his eyes full of guilt and self-blame: "I'm sorry, Yiyu, I didn't know you would come here, let alone something like this. It's all my fault, please forgive me!" His voice trembled a little, as if he was afraid of losing the woman he loved deeply.
Luo Yiyu just smiled slightly, with a hint of bitterness and helplessness in her smile: "It doesn't matter, Lord Lu. This may be the fate between us. But no matter what, I hope you can be happy." She turned her head and looked at Luo Shenyuan beside her, with a hint of pleading in her eyes: "Third brother, for the sake of your elder sister, please let him go. As for the emperor, I would like to ask you to tell the emperor for me that I am willing to use the identity of Princess Anping in exchange for Lu Jiaxue's pardon." After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and stopped talking, as if she had exhausted all her strength.
Luo Shenyuan looked at the older sister who had helped him so many times, his heart filled with gratitude. He took a deep breath and said firmly, "Okay!"
After the doctor's careful treatment, Yi Yu's body gradually recovered, and after a month she finally regained her strength.
Meanwhile, Lu Jiaxue's collusion with Wang Yuan and his corruption were exposed. Due to Princess Anping's plea, the emperor finally dismissed Lu Jiaxue from his post and demoted him to a commoner.
On this day, Yi Ning invited Yi Yu to go to Qingcheng Temple outside the city to burn incense. When they arrived at the temple, Yi Ning excused herself to go hang a love lock with Shen Yuan and left. Yi Yu was left alone after burning incense, quietly admiring the beautiful scenery in the courtyard. The system asked Yi Yu in confusion, "Host, why didn't you go find Lu Jiaxue later?"
Yi Yu looked at the leaves outside the window with a gentle gaze and replied softly, "Because I don't want to..." However, before she could finish her words, she heard a slight noise behind her. She turned around and was surprised to find Lu Jiaxue slowly approaching, holding an exquisite box, his eyes filled with concern and expectation.
Lu Jiaxue walked up to Yi Yu and stopped, then said gently, "Yi Yu, how have you been lately?"
Yi Yu smiled slightly, her eyes twinkling, and replied, "Mr. Lu, thank you for your concern. Yi Yu is doing well."
Lu Jiaxue gently opened the box in his hand, revealing a thick stack of land deeds and banknotes. He gazed at Yiyu and said affectionately, "Yiyu, I don't know if I'll ever be able to ask you to be my wife. I'm no longer a marquis, just a commoner, but this box contains all my wealth. I promise you that no matter what the future holds, you will be the only one in my heart. Even if I lose my status as marquis, I will do my best to give you the best life possible."
Luo Yiyu raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a bright smile. She raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Lu Jiaxue with a smile and said, "Lu Jiaxue, are you willing to marry into my family? This princess does not want to marry, I only want to find a son-in-law!" Her voice was crisp and pleasant, with a hint of playfulness and confidence.
Hearing this, Lu Jiaxue was stunned for a moment, then a flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes. Without hesitation, he stretched out his arms and hugged Yiyu tightly, his face brimming with happiness. His eyes were gentle yet resolute, and he whispered, "Very well, it is my honor to be Princess Anping's son-in-law. Please guide me for the rest of my life, Princess Anping!" His words were filled with anticipation and promise for their future lives.
Yi Yu felt Lu Jiaxue's warm embrace, and a sweet feeling welled up in her heart. She leaned gently into his arms, smiled, and said, "Well, you will take care of me from now on!" The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of love and tenderness.
In that moment, they seemed to forget everything around them, their world filled with only each other. They clung to each other, dreaming of a bright future. From this moment on, they would walk hand in hand through every season, facing life's joys and sorrows together. In this beautiful moment, their hearts were connected, forever inseparable.
