What Lu Huiling was waiting for was her words.

Lu Huiling stood up unhurriedly, walked to Guiren Zhi, gently raised her chin with his fingers, and asked softly: "Are you serious about this?"

Zhi Guiren knew that if Lu Huiling asked this question, he must have something to do with her, but now she couldn't care less. In such a huge harem, there was no other choice but Lu Huiling to save her father.

Zhi Guiren nodded. Although there were tears on her face, her eyes were surprisingly firm. She said: "If the empress really saved the lives of my family, then I will obey the empress' orders and go through fire and water without any hesitation."

, I have nothing to say to you, my concubine."

Lu Huiling let go of her chin and stood up. Her expression was no longer as gentle as before. She turned around and sat back down, looking down at her nails.

Then he raised his head and said to Mr. Zhi: "As you said, it only takes one word from me to save the lives of your family. But if it were you, I'm afraid... you could only watch thousands of people...

Mr. Hu and his wife..."

"My Majesty, please, please save my family!" Hearing Lu Huiling's terrifying setup, Ms. Zhi almost collapsed. She kowtowed to Lu Huiling again and said in a cry.

Lu Huiling raised her head arrogantly and said, "It's not impossible to ask me to help you, but there is indeed one thing here that requires your help."

After listening to these words, Lord Zhi was no longer upset and frightened, but seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and asked anxiously: "Please tell me, my concubine, if I can be useful, no matter what it is, I will do it."

I am willing to help my concubine complete it. I just ask... I only ask that my concubine can keep the name of my family, and I will not give up even if I die."

Lu Huiling covered her mouth and said with a smile: "How can I be so exaggerated as my sister..." Then he suppressed his smile and looked condescendingly at Mr. Zhi: "I don't need you to die, as long as you do something for me in front of Concubine Mei.

If the matter is done well, your family's life will be safe. If it is not done well...then I cannot guarantee what will happen to them."

After hearing this, the nobleman Zhi said anxiously: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, I will definitely do it for you, no matter what. I also ask your Majesty to be merciful and save their lives. I am willing to work as a cow for you."

Ma, return the favor to the empress."

When Zhi Guiren heard Lu Huiling said that he could save her family for her, he quickly lowered his body and went to cater to her.

You must know that before this, Yin Rui was regarded as a talented woman. She used to be admired by Lu Gaohong. She was a scholar and a man of letters. She was arrogant in her bones. Now she is under her knees, and she is so humble that she can't breathe.

Lu Huiling looked at Zhi Guiren's humble appearance, and was extremely happy. The man who was so arrogant just now was now crawling at his feet, eager to be a cow or a horse for him.

"Hey~ It's not as hard as being a cow or a horse. My sister just needs to go find Concubine Mei and try her best to make Concubine Mei change her business." Lu Huiling didn't want to waste time dealing with her anymore.

He said it bluntly.

"What? Please make it clear...I can't understand." Mr. Zhi stopped crying and looked up at Lu Huiling at the seat with a blank look on his face.

"Mei Guifei wanted to arrange a hunting trip before the New Year's Eve family banquet. She used flat-headed arrows to shoot rabbits. I thought, this is so boring. There is no blood during the Chinese New Year, so I went to persuade Mei Guifei to use flat arrows instead.

The flat-headed arrows are made of red silk dipped in paint, and they are used to shoot people. If someone has more arrows in his body, he will come out on top and win a prize. How fun it is." Lu Huiling smiled without a smile.

Said to Mr. Zhi.

Listening to this, Mr. Zhi felt that Lu Huiling had bad intentions, but she had to follow her arrangements. In order to make sure nothing went wrong, she asked tremblingly: "But...how can I tell my concubine that I want to do this?"

What’s the reason?”

Lu Huiling sighed, lay down, and called Xu Lan behind her: "Tell Mr. Zhi about your childhood games."

Xu Lan was also confused at first, but then he immediately realized what he had said to Concubine Ming just now and told him again.

After hearing this, Zhi Guiren asked again: "What is the purpose of doing this?"

"Just do it if you are asked. Why do you ask so many questions?" Lu Huiling frowned slightly, looking a little dissatisfied. "Is it possible that in Zhi Gui's mind, family is not that important anymore?"

After hearing this, Lady Zhi was extremely panicked. She quickly shook her head and said, "No, it's not. I...I will definitely handle this matter for you."

"Do you know why I asked you to go?" Lu Huiling suddenly asked.

Lu Huiling looked at Guiren Zhe with a smile. The two looked at each other. Although Lu Huiling was smiling, Guiren Zhe could feel the ice starting to form from his spine.

Lu Huiling looked at her stunned expression, slowly approached her, and whispered in her ear: "Because you never take sides...and I am sure that you will listen to my words...and you will not take sides."

It’s a good thing, keep it up.”

In order to gain the favor of the emperor, or just hope to live a better life in the palace, every concubine in the palace will naturally choose to move closer to the concubine with a higher rank. Some choose Concubine Mei, and some choose Concubine Mei.

Some chose Concubine Ming, and some chose Concubine Ning. These are all candidates who can win the emperor's favor.

However, there was only Noble Zhi, and everyone threw olive branches at her, but she didn't know how to cherish it, and there was no need to do so. She felt in her heart that everyone was the emperor's concubine, and she could just love the emperor wholeheartedly, so why bother fighting with each other?

, what's the point of fighting to the death?

But the moment she saw Lu Huiling, she suddenly realized that if she didn't fight for it, she would die of old age in the palace. Even the rising star worked so hard, but her congenital conditions were not as good as Lu Huiling, and her brain was not as smart as others, so

I have no choice but to remain negative.

Everyone in the palace knew that Lady Zhi stood in a neutral position, so they would not deliberately make things difficult for her, and they were considered trustworthy, even Concubine Mei was no exception.

Lu Huiling looked at her and asked her to continue not taking sides. The purpose was to warn her not to expose Lu Huiling's actions.

After all, the lives of his father and family were now in Lu Huiling's hands. Mr. Zhi did not dare to say more, so he could only nod and do as Lu Huiling said.

Seeing that Mr. Zhi was so obedient, Lu Huiling stood up and smiled, as if he could see the chaotic mess that was the day of the New Year's Eve expedition.

"Okay, you go back first. When the time is right, you go to Yichun Palace to see Concubine Mei. Remember, only success is allowed, no failure." Lu Huiling glanced at Guiren Zhi with contempt, and then turned back.

The bedroom is resting.

"Your Majesty..." Mr. Zhi quickly called to Lu Huiling and carefully reminded him: "Don't forget to promise me your concubine."

Lu Huiling smiled, as if he was deliberately trying to reassure her, took off the token from his waist, threw it to Xu Lan and said, "Take my token and leave the palace. Tell daddy that you must

Save the lives of Yin Qianhu’s family…”

Then he glanced at Mr. Zhi, as if he said this deliberately: "If there is a shortfall that needs to be made up, I might as well pay the bill for them."

Qi Bingyu doted on Lu Huiling and once rewarded Minghuatang with thousands of taels of gold and countless bamboo and precious jade. It was not easy for him to be so kind to Lu Huiling when the national treasury was empty.

This also means that the amount of money embezzled by Yin Qianhu is just a drop in the bucket for Lu Huiling.

Hearing these words in Zhi Guiren's ears, it was as if he had been stabbed hard. Now he owed Lu Huiling such a huge favor, and he didn't know how he could repay it in the future.

"I thank you, Concubine Ming." Gui Zhi and Ah Xun bowed their heads deeply to express their gratitude.

Xu Lan took the token and ran out of the palace in a hurry. Lu Huiling did not respond to their words and just went back to the palace on her own.

◎i

Ah Xun helped Mr. Zhi walk out of Minghua Hall. Minghua Hall is located near Qinzheng Hall, in the center of the imperial city. In addition to the Imperial Garden, there are many people coming and going here, and it is very lively every day.

Nowadays, in the twelfth lunar month of winter, the flowers in the Imperial Garden have withered, and it is difficult to see the splendor of spring. However, Minghua Hall has people coming and going all year round.

Mr. Zhi looked at these hurried people walking past him. Maybe he had never been to Lanyuan Pavilion. For a moment, he didn't recognize that the person in front of him was also a young master. He only knew how to kneel after walking a long way.

Salute.

Zhi Guiren was so weak that she no longer cared about this. Now she only felt that there was a huge force on her shoulders, and she became an inch shorter with every step she took.

She left her self-esteem forever in Minghua Hall, scattered on the ground, trampled by Lu Huiling, and trampled by the palace maids and eunuchs who came and went.

"My lord, why are you unhappy? At least Concubine Ming is willing to help us with the matter in the family. This can be considered solved. Prime Minister Lu has great powers, and Master Yin will definitely be safe and sound."

Ah Xun saw that Zhi Guiren was in a daze and was in a low mood. He didn't understand what she was doing. Obviously the matter was resolved. Although it required a certain price, it was still much better than feeling sorry for himself in the palace.

Zhi Guiren shook his head, looked around blankly, lowered his hands, and staggered back to Lanyuan Pavilion step by step.

"You don't understand, you won't understand."

Zhi Guiren didn't dare to look at Ah Xun now. Normally, she was arrogant and conceited, but just now, she cried and knelt down on the ground and begged Lu Huiling to help her. That look was...

It must have been extremely ridiculous in Ah Xun's eyes, and she would never dare to act arrogant in front of Ah Xun again.
