Husband is extremely regent

Chapter 171 Lu Xu Was Questioned

"My daughter has a way..."

"His Royal Highness, I think that Lu Xu should not be involved in government affairs."

Lu Xucai was interrupted by his father when he opened his mouth. Lu Yi glanced at his daughter and said, "Your Majesty, my daughter is not in a good state of mind recently. It is not suitable for me to participate in the court's resolutions and interrogation of prisoners. Instead, I should focus on resting in peace."

Emperor Heng glanced at Lu Xu who was standing below. He had already learned from the crown prince about the aggravation of Lu Xu's twin-soul disease.

Now Lu Xu's mental state seems to be in a bad state, so he thought for a while and said, "How about this, Xu'er, let me talk about your method first, and see if I can ask someone next to me to do it for me."

"Using music to control people's emotions."

Lu Xu replied calmly, and a surprised voice immediately rang out from the court hall.

Heng Di was also taken aback. He had never heard of such an interrogation method, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Lu Xu couldn't wait for the next sentence, so he thought about it and added: "Currently, the courtier has only used music to control the strong to destroy their cultivation, and it has never been tried to interrogate prisoners."

Many officials in the court looked at each other in blank dismay, and even Emperor Heng couldn't help but suspect that the little girl was bragging, and thought about it seriously: "How sure are you that you will succeed?"

"Your servant will only know after trying it. The problem should not be serious."

Lu Xu answered truthfully, and the courtiers couldn't help discussing in whispers after hearing it, and some courtiers finally couldn't help but speak:
"Since ancient times in prison interrogation, it has never been heard that listening to music can make a prisoner confess honestly. Wouldn't there be too many instruments of torture in such a prison?"

Facing the doubts from the courtiers, Lu Xu smiled calmly: "Your Excellency, you might as well try it yourself and see if Lu Xu can ask where your private money is hidden, or how many rooms you have kept outside."

After a few breaths of silence, the court burst into laughter, urging the courtiers who asked the question to verify the result for themselves.

"Xu'er, don't be rude."

Lu Yi immediately warned her daughter not to mess around in court.

After receiving his father's warning, Lu Xu chose to remain silent, and didn't bother to explain the reasoning to these people.

Mo Jinli said thoughtfully: "Emissary Longque mentioned when she came back to the palace yesterday that Ms. Lu Xu once used a song to abolish the cultivation of the three ancestors of the Nangong family. This palace thinks it's a good idea to try it."

"Miss Lu Xu, can you explain the reason behind it?"

Liu Xiang suddenly asked with great interest, which surprised everyone. Isn't this supporting Lu Xu in disguise?

Lu Xu was also surprised, and thought about it: "Everyone has emotions such as desire, fear, sadness, despair, and regret hidden in their hearts. The music of the court lady can make people who hear the music think of the images that arouse these emotions repeatedly. , and even infinitely magnified, but people's endurance is limited, they collapsed in the process and chose to die."

"Sounds interesting, might as well give it a try."

After Liu Xiang finished speaking, he said nothing, and Lu Xu said with a look of embarrassment: "But there are also shortcomings, which cannot be implemented in a targeted manner."

"What do you mean?" Hengdi asked puzzled

"Everyone who hears the music is affected."

Lu Xu replied with some helplessness, the hall became lively again, and everyone felt threatened by the existence of such music.

In the face of everyone's discussion and dissatisfaction, Lu Xu said calmly: "Of course not everyone will be affected. For example, people who are inherently optimistic and simple-minded, they are immune to this music, of course..."

Lu Xu paused and said, "I'm not interested in your secrets."

Fan Xing could see that Lu Xu was a little depressed, and said calmly: "Xuer's music is a flaw, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

"What are the advantages, let's talk about it."

Hengdi didn't want to hit Lu Xu either, so he gave her a step up.

Fan Xing glanced at Lu Xu and said, "This time, Xuecheng won the victory without losing one soldier, and Xu'er's music played a big role."

Mo Jinli thought about it and said: "With the help of visitors from outside the region, the Xuebu dispatched an army composed of thousands of seventh-rank masters, a vanguard of hundreds of ninth-rank peak masters, and four third-level experts. The leader personally sat in the town to supervise the battle, but in the end he was no match for Xuer Yiqu, and our people were not affected at that time."

"They stand behind the courtiers, and the courtiers have the ability to protect them from being affected." Lu Xu said with a half-smile: "But in the capital... the courtiers dare not hand over their backs."

"Okay, Xuer, I will consider your suggestion." Emperor Heng also felt that something was wrong with Lu Xu, and said with a smile on his face: "I believe your method will be useful, but let's try the original method first, and then ask you for help if it doesn't work. "

"My daughter obeys the order."

Lu Xu didn't force it either, no one likes to be peeped into their inner secrets.

At the court meeting, everyone continued to discuss the matter of Yu's visitors, and Lu Xu tried to be transparent and refrained from doing anything eye-catching.

But the number one beauty in Nanli country, even if she tried her best to keep a low profile, still attracts people's attention. From time to time, her envious eyes would fall on her. Fanxing moved his body without making a sound, and blocked all prying eyes, but the result was somewhat counterproductive.

The picture of the two standing together is more pleasing to the eye, and there are more eyes looking at them, even Hengdi couldn't help but look twice more.

Hengdi said helplessly: "Xu'er, it's none of your business here, you should step back first."

"The servant girl retire!"

Lu Xu left without hesitation, still feeling everyone's jealous eyes.

After leaving the Palace of Political Affairs, Lu Xu saw an acquaintance, Aunt Zhen who was next to the empress, maybe she was waiting for the emperor or the crown prince to come down.

Lu Xu nodded to her and continued walking, but Aunt Zhen called her back and said, "Miss Lu Xu, the Empress is waiting for you in the Imperial Garden. She wants to ask you something."

"Auntie, please lead the way."

"Miss Lu Xu, please!"

Royal Garden.

Lu Xu saw the empress playing with the birds from afar.

"My daughter, Lu Xu, sees the empress!"

"Xu'er, get up quickly."

The empress put down the bird food, turned around and said: "I heard that you went to Xuecheng, did you see Jing'er?"

Looking at Lu Xu's calm expression, the Empress Empress said with red eyes: "Jing'er made a mistake and was expelled from the family, but she is still my niece. I want to know if she is doing well in Xuecheng."

"To be honest, it's not very good. It's not easy for the girl's family to live in Syracuse."

Lu Xu said truthfully: "Miss Mingjing is too good-looking, and she has lost her status. She is always missed by lechers and envied by other female exiles."

The empress was so excited that she grabbed Lu Xu's hand and asked anxiously, "Has Jing'er been bullied..."

"Not currently, it's hard to say in the future." Lu Xu replied decisively: "Before I left yesterday, I also told City Lord Yu to take care of them."

"Did Jing'er ask you to bring me a message?" The empress asked impatiently.

"Originally there was, but she took it back later, does the Empress want to hear it?"

Lu Xu thought of Ming Jing's self-abased expression at that time, and heard the queen urgently say: "Quickly, what did Jing'er say, why did you take it back?"

"Miss Mingjing asked the minister to tell the empress that she knew she was wrong, and asked the minister to apologize to you on her behalf. Later, she said that she is no longer from the Ming family, and the empress should forget her. Mentioning her will make you unhappy. The courtiers don’t need to bring anything.”

After saying these words, Lu Xu said lightly: "The courtier should respect her choice, but the empress asked, and the courtier described the situation at that time."

"Miss Mingjing also made meritorious service in defeating the army of the Snow Department this time." Lu Xu didn't say much when he said this, but the empress seemed to have seen the straw to save her life, and she held Lu Xu's hands tightly and said, "Really, Jing'er has also made meritorious service, so is it possible for her to be pardoned and return to Beijing?"

"Empress, this is not the duty of a courtier."

Lu Xu calmly rejected the empress empress, hoping that she would ask the emperor for credit on her behalf,

The empress suddenly let go of Lu Xu's hand, took two steps back and said, "Jing'er is too simple, too strong, and wants to win so much that you will be used by others."

The implication is that Mingjing will make mistakes, and it has a lot to do with Lu Xu, so it is only natural for her to say this, but she has never thought about why many people want to win against Lu Xu, why the outstanding Mingjing will make unforgivable mistakes.

"The Empress Nyonya has no other orders, and the courtiers will leave first!"

"Xu'er...you step back."

Realizing that she had said something wrong, the empress wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything in the end.

Lu Xuxing knelt down and left the imperial garden. After walking out of the imperial garden, he saw a Princess Chang'an who hadn't shown up for a long time.

"Miss Lu Xu, can you let me know."

"of course can."

After thinking about it, Lu Xu agreed to her request, and the visitors came to the secluded place one after the other.

The queen mother just heard about the meeting between Lu Xu and the queen, and said with a smile on her face: "The Ai family said earlier that people are selfish, so it doesn't matter how the queen likes Lu Xu, but between Mingjing and Lu Xu, the queen will still prefer My own people, how can I say they are close relatives by blood."

"Mingjing made a mistake and was demoted and exiled, which is the secret wound between the empress and Lu Xu. Sooner or later, this wound will cause problems in their relationship."

"Queen Mother, should we do something?" Aunt Liu catered to the Queen Mother and said, "Let their relationship break down faster."

"Don't act rashly for the time being." The queen mother waved her hand and said, "With Mo Jinli's cultivation, he will be able to detect any of our movements immediately, let's wait for those people to come and deal with them."

"Queen, can those people be trusted?"

Aunt Liu asked worriedly, after all, conspiring with a tiger is not a long-term solution.

The Queen Mother disagreed: "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, the important thing is that they can realize Aijia's wish and avenge Aijia."

"My servant also heard the news that the Nangong family is gone." Aunt Liu said in a low voice, "Gu Jiaolong personally led the team, and Lu Xu assisted from the side. They took action to abolish the cultivation of the three ancestors. The members of the Nangong family have already detained When they arrive in Kyoto, will they..."

"After so many years, they can't find any clues."

The queen mother smiled and said: "Besides, those people have already appeared, and they have no time to care about us."

"Is that plan going to go ahead?"

"Certainly continue."

The queen mother yawned gracefully, and suddenly a court lady appeared outside the palace gate, which caught Aunt Liu's attention.
