Suddenly, Lu Zhong's words came to mind, "No." The raised hand changed from hooking to pushing, pushing him away hard, fearing that she would lose control, she hugged the quilt and shrank into the bed, as if guarding against wolves.
Looking at Beitang Ye.
"I'm sorry, I was too impulsive and scared you." Bei Tangye, who was feeling disappointed, saw Lu Wushuang looking like a frightened deer, and he felt guilty in his heart.
"Give me some time." Lu Wushuang lowered his head slightly and whispered guiltily.
With a helpless sigh, Bei Tangye pulled Lu Wushuang over, and the two of them were covered under a quilt again, their bodies lying a little stiff, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"It's late at night, go to sleep." Bei Tangye patted Lu Wushuang's back, but did not dare to make any more movements. It was easy to hear his deep voice, revealing a trace of undiminished passion.
After saying this, Bei Tangye closed his eyes first, and then Lu Wushuang also closed his eyes, but neither of them fell asleep.
One is in a depressed mood, while the other is full of worries.
At dawn, Lu Wushuang fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was already noon.
She reached out and touched the place beside her. She felt coldly, thinking that Beitang Ye had been gone for a long time. Thinking of what happened last night, she couldn't help feeling irritated.
"Miss Third, are you up?" Outside the house, Xiaoqing heard a slight noise in the house and shouted tentatively.
"Get up, come in." Lu Wushuang said.
After waiting for a while, Xiaoqing pushed the door open and walked in. She held a basin of hot water in her hand and said, "Miss Third, wash your face."
After putting on clothes and getting up from bed, he washed his face and had breakfast with Xiaoqing's service. To be precise, it should be lunch. Lu Wushuang stood on the porch and saw the thick snow in the yard, and suddenly became interested.
I asked Xiaoqing to find a shovel.
Lu Wushuang shoveled the snow in the yard together with a shovel and built a snowman. She first built a shorter snowman, inserted a nose, eyes and mouth. Then she built a snowman next to it.
Another snowman appeared.
As soon as they were halfway through the pile, the housekeeper Lu Zhong ran into Luoqiyuan with an angry voice. He ran so fast that even in the cold weather, two drops of hot sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Third Miss, Aunt Mingyue, who is beside the Queen Mother in the palace, is here and is waiting in the front hall to take you into the palace."
Lu Wushuang frowned slightly, wondering if this had come too soon. She just returned to Wangcheng yesterday, and today someone was sent to escort her to the palace.
What should come will always come, and there is no way to escape what should be faced.
"Why!"
With a sigh, Lu Wushuang walked towards the front yard on the flawless white snow.
"Miss Lu San, long time no see. The carriage has been waiting for a long time. Please follow me into the palace." Seeing Lu Wushuang step into the front hall, Mingyue's expression was as cold as ever.
Nodding, Lu Wushuang followed Mingyue and got into the carriage. The coachman raised his whip and drove the carriage slowly towards the palace gate, leaving two long and thin wheel marks behind him.
There was silence in the carriage. Knowing that he couldn't get any news from Mingyue, Lu Wushuang wisely chose to remain silent.
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the two got off the carriage, changed to a soft sedan, and rode in the soft sedan carried by the two of them to Changle Palace where Empress Dowager Chen lived.
Changle Palace, where the Earth Dragon was burned, was as warm as spring and could not feel the slightest chill.
Under the leadership of Mingyue, Lu Wushuang once again stepped into this magnificent palace.
"Your Majesty, Lu Wushuang, has met the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be safe and sound." Although he didn't like the woman on the high seat who looked graceful and noble, but was actually ruthless, Lu Wushuang still bowed politely.
"Get up." Empress Dowager Chen, wearing a phoenix robe with gold embroidered phoenixes, sat lazily on the high seat. This time, she did not embarrass Lu Wushuang, and waved her jewel-encrusted armor lightly, speaking in a faint but calm voice.
Without losing dignity.
"Thank you, Queen Mother." After thanking him politely, Lu Wushuang stood up straight and stood in the main hall of Changle Palace.
Mingyue, who led Lu Wushuang into Changle Palace, walked behind Queen Mother Chen's high seat and stood respectfully.
"The Ai family and Miss Lu have something to say. You all can go down. There is no need to wait."
Empress Dowager Chen gave an order, and all the maids and eunuchs in the palace withdrew from Changle Palace, even Mingyue was no exception.
The huge palace, with only the Empress Dowager Chen and Lu Wushuang remaining, seemed particularly cold and empty.
"Lu Wushuang, do you remember what you promised to the Ai family?" Empress Dowager Chen sat up straight, her lazy expression gone, and a cold and cold light shot out from her dark eyes towards Lu who was standing in the hall.
Unparalleled.
"Remember, never set foot in Wangcheng." Lu Wushuang raised his head slightly and met Empress Dowager Chen's sharp gaze without fear. His voice was neither humble nor arrogant, without the slightest hint of timidity.
"You are so brave." Empress Dowager Chen slapped the armrest and said domineeringly: "Since you remember, why do you come back?"
"I came back because Ye's true feelings moved me." Lu Wushuang said.
"The shouting is quite affectionate. Do you think that if Ye'er likes you, the Ai family will help you? Don't dream. Don't think that the Ai family doesn't know about your stay in Yuezhou City. Just forget about being sent to Fengyue Tower. When you get to Yue City
You are even more shameless, living in the same room with a man, and participating in an oiran competition to win the title of oiran. Since ancient times, oiran has been a title reserved for women in brothels, and the Ai family will never accept a woman like you as their daughter-in-law." Leng.
With a snort, Empress Dowager Chen's cold eyes were filled with chills, and she looked down at Lu Wushuang from a high position. She just didn't like her.
"The Empress Dowager is well-informed. She even knows exactly who she is sharing a room with when she participates in the oiran competition. Then the Empress Dowager must also be very aware of the scene on the Yuezhou City Wall. It was on the Yuezhou City Wall, but
Your son is threatening me in vain, saying that if I don’t follow him back to Overlook City, he will jump off the tower. Your son loves me so deeply, are you sure your objection will be useful?” Anyway, I’ll do whatever it takes to get it.
Without Empress Dowager Chen's favor, Lu Wushuang would naturally not touch her cold butt with a warm face, and would simply break the jar. The vanilla would no longer be there, and he would no longer have to fear her threat.
"The Ai family knows that the maid next to you died tragically. Don't think that the Ai family can't do anything to you. Don't forget, the Lu family lives in Tiaocheng, and the Ai family can take action on them."
Empress Dowager Chen's eyes turned cold, and an invisible murderous aura burst out.
"The Lu family, prosperity or decline, life or death, has nothing to do with me. If you like it, you can order the Lu family to be confiscated tomorrow and send everyone in the Lu family to prison. It doesn't matter." Lu Wushuang had a bright smile on his face.
, the happier she smiled, the angrier Queen Mother Chen became, her chest rising and falling violently.
"You are just as annoying as your vixen mother." The extremely angry Empress Dowager Chen's face turned dark, her eyes were full of anger, mixed with some hatred, and she spoke eloquently.
Lu Wushuang frowned, as Lu Zhong's words came to mind. Could it be that, as she guessed, the person her mother loved in her heart was Beitang Ye's father, the deceased Emperor Beitang Mo of Beitiao Kingdom.
"It seems that you hate me not because I entered Fengyue Tower and won the courtship, but because of my mother. I don't know if my mother has offended the Queen Mother in any way. Can you please explain me clearly?" Lu Wushuang raised his head and faced Queen Mother Chen with full expression.
Eyes of hatred and anger, without the slightest hint of timidity.
"Yes, the Ai family hates you because of your mother. Back then, your mother used charming tricks outside the palace to seduce the heart of the late emperor who traveled incognito. For your mother, the late emperor even wanted to abolish the Ai family and bring her into the palace. If it weren't for the Ai family's tricks.
, let your mother and Lu Xiuyuan get along well, there is no place for the Ai family in this palace now."
Thinking of what happened back then, Empress Dowager Chen showed strong hatred in her eyes. At that time, she had just become pregnant with the current Emperor Beitang Lie. Before she had time to tell Beitang Mo about the good news, she accidentally read it on his imperial record.
When it came time to announce the abolition edict, she took the initiative and tricked Lu Wushuang's mother Miao Zhen'er and Lu Xiuyuan into cooking. Then she found a suitable moment to announce the news of her pregnancy.
Keep your position behind.
Seeing Empress Dowager Chen's eyes filled with overwhelming hatred, Lu Wushuang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Although her mother and the late emperor loved each other, the relationship between the two should be innocent.
Think about it, the late emperor's descendants have withered away, and the only ones alive in the world are Beitang Lie and Beitang Ye, the sons of Empress Dowager Chen.
If there really was something between her mother and the late emperor, or if she was the late emperor's daughter, given Empress Dowager Chen's ruthless methods, she would have gone to report to the Lord of Hell long ago.
Facing Empress Dowager Chen's anger, Lu Wushuang smiled instead of getting angry. Instead, she was in a good mood and showed a relaxed smile.
Seeing the inexplicable smile on Lu Wushuang's face, Queen Mother Chen became even more angry. Her face darkened, and invisible murderous intent showed in her eyes, "Mingyue, bring up the March Red gift given to Lu Wushuang by the Ai family."
Hearing these words, Lu Wushuang's expression changed drastically, "What do you want to do?"
"Don't worry, the March Red given to you by the Aijia will not make you die immediately. Your mother also drank this kind of wine back then, and she returned to Lu Mansion and stayed there for three months before she died slowly." Empress Dowager Chen said darkly.
Her eyes were filled with a cold light, like the eyes of poisonous snakes, and the sinister smile at the corner of her mouth seemed to be quenched with poison, which was terrifying.
"My mother's death is really related to you." After hearing Liu Hanyuan's words before, Lu Wushuang only had doubts. Now it was confirmed from the Queen Mother Chen's mouth. He couldn't tell whether he hated her or resented her?
In short, the mood is extremely complicated.
"So what, you can't even protect yourself now. Is it possible that the Ai family is still afraid that you will come to avenge your mother?" Empress Dowager Chen said proudly.
While the two were talking, Mingyue had already walked into the main hall of Changle Palace with a pot of fragrant wine. Behind her were two tall guards. They walked briskly. It was obvious at a glance that they had martial arts skills and were also very skilled.
Not weak. I guess I was planning to force-feed Lu Wushuang when she resisted.
"You two, hold her down and drink the March Red into her." Seeing Mingyue approaching, Queen Mother Chen on the high seat started to give orders impatiently.
