Inside Yanyang City Government Office
Mrs. Hua sat down gloomily, still thinking about what happened in front of the Lu Mansion just now.

She knew what the master was capable of, so why did he suddenly turn into a skeleton?
She thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure out the reason.

"Daughter."

Lu Yanchao said cautiously from the side: "You have been tired all the way, so I sent someone to prepare a banquet to welcome you."

"No need."

Mrs. Hua raised her eyes and glanced at Lu Yanchao, then glanced at Liu Quan standing by the door.

Seeing his gloomy old face, Mrs. Hua had no intention of having a banquet at this time.

If you want to keep your current glory and wealth, you must either maintain your relationship with Zhang Jinnian or support Liu Quan.

But Zhang Jinnian already had a rift with him.

Besides, he would not just watch him get rid of Lu Wenqian.

At the moment, the only thing we can do is to hold Liu Quan firmly and not let him have any other ideas.

"Eunuch Liu, how do you feel about my treatment of you over the years?"

Mrs. Hua looked at him and asked seriously.

"Your Majesty is kind to the old slave. Without her, our family would not be what it is today."

Liu Quan's answer was very pertinent.

Indeed, he has always been thinking about the promotion of the Holy Lady.

But what she did today was really chilling.

"If you can remember my kindness, it means that my kindness to you is not in vain."

Mrs. Hua stood up slowly, walked between the two of them, and said with a smile:
"Liu Quan, you also know that I have served His Majesty for many years, and His Majesty has been unable to leave me. Therefore, I have never left the palace since I was a child. I only have what I am today because of the protection of the eunuch, but he always He will grow old, and I have to make plans for him and his own future.

I liked this kid Yanchao very much when I first met him. I have always treated him as my own son. This time he and you really went too far. Fortunately, you are not in serious trouble. Just look at me. For the palace's sake, don't be on the same level with him. The future of the imperial court depends on the two of you. "

Although her words were in a consultative tone, she was sure that Liu Quan would not dare to disobey her.

After all, without him, he has no future.

Liu Quan looked at Lu Yanchao, who still looked arrogant, with a serious expression, and felt sad in his heart.

What do you mean it's no big deal?
If the second young lady of the Lu family hadn't fought tooth and nail to save him, how would he have survived?
I didn't expect that my loyalty to the Holy Lady would end up like this.

Lu Yanchao came here because of his own life.

Are you going to turn your hostility into friendship with him with just a few words of indifference?
However, in front of the empress, he had to swallow this bad breath.

"Since your Majesty has spoken out to this extent, it would appear that our family is being ignorant if we continue to delve into this matter."

Liu Quan forced a smile and made a fist-clasping gesture toward Lu Yanchao: "Our family has never had any ill intentions towards Mr. Chao. We only hope that Mr. Chao will behave himself in the future."

After saying that, he left angrily without looking back.

Lu Yanchao had always looked down on this eunuch who was accustomed to playing both sides. He looked at the direction he was leaving and curled his lips in disdain: "This man is a two-faced man who talks sweetly and uses his sword secretly. Why should my godmother be so polite to him?"

"You can't say that."

Mrs. Hua forced a smile and said: "Even if it is a dog, you have to put some effort into taming it, so that it knows how to wag its tail and beg for mercy, let alone a human being." Also afraid that he would continue to oppose Liu Quan, Mrs. Hua gave her earnest advice. He said: "Chao'er, Zhang Jinnian already has a grudge against me. Liu Quan, the power in the court, cannot be underestimated. You must not have any evil thoughts towards him again."

"The eunuch and his godmother have been together through thick and thin for decades. Is it possible that because of what happened with my second uncle last time, he and his godmother are going to separate from each other?"

Lu Yanchao gasped in frustration: "Why am I inferior to my second uncle? Why do the eunuchs protect him so much?"

"Because... your second uncle is not from the Lu family."

At this point, Mrs. Hua didn't want to hide anything from him anymore and said truthfully: "Lu Wenqian is the grandson of the violent prince Lu Ling after he was promoted to Emperor Long."

"My second uncle is actually of Tian family blood?"

Lu Yanchao looked incredulous.

It can be said that Emperor Longsheng's dynasty was full of talents, and it was also the most prosperous period since the founding of the Dayue Dynasty. For this reason, Emperor Longsheng was praised by the world as the king of the ages.

However, this unparalleled lord became extremely dim-witted in his later years. He believed in the demon monk and made Hu Meiren, who was recommended by the demon monk to the court, a noble concubine. He loved her very much.

Concubine Hu conspired with the demon monk and slandered the prince Lu Ling to assassinate her son King Yu. In order to protect himself, the prince had no choice but to rebel. After the defeat, he refused to be arrested and committed suicide.

"When the eunuch entered the palace, he was just a mediocre little eunuch. People in the palace jokingly called him Ergouzi. Unintentionally, he was appreciated by Queen Wen and was given the name Jinnian. Xu was the eunuch to express his gratitude to Queen Wen for her kindness. After Prince Ru was forced to rebel, Queen Wen hanged herself in the Palace of Longevity, and all of Prince Ru's bloodline were also killed. Although the eunuch took refuge with Prince Yu, he managed to preserve Prince Ru's only bloodline."

Mrs. Hua sighed and recounted the past events:

"It is said that when the news of Prince Ru's suicide reached the palace, Emperor Longsheng was seriously ill. He was heartbroken when he saw dozens of his descendants who were killed one after another due to the turmoil. When he learned that the emperor's great-grandson was still alive, he issued a decree of amnesty for the whole world. The newly born Lu Wenqian was adopted into Ye Ting, and later the eunuch granted your grandfather a high official salary, so Lu Wenqian was brought back to the Lu family for adoption, and this is why the Lu family exists today."

"In this way, our Lu family's rise was actually achieved by adopting our second uncle."

Lu Yanchao suddenly realized.

No wonder my grandfather doted on his second uncle so much, and my grandmother didn't allow her to have the idea of ​​​​Xiyuan Bank.

"When I am the son of Prince Yu, how can he tolerate my second uncle still living in the world?"

Lu Yanchao said: "Godmother, since you know about this matter, you should report it to the emperor. This will save us from taking action again."

Mrs. Hua kept shaking her head and sneered: "Prince Yu has been influenced and controlled by Concubine Hu and the demon monk since he was a child. Since he came to the throne, he has always had a weak and feminine personality. In addition, he has been taking elixirs all year round, which has led to the decline of his descendants. He will be regarded as the emperor before his death. a son."

When mentioning Emperor Ming Zhao, Mrs. Hua hesitated several times: "Your Majesty has no heirs yet. If he knew that Lu Wenqian was the grandson of Prince Ru, he would not kill his nephew, not to mention that Emperor Longsheng had a decree of pardon. Just because the royal family is withering now, the emperor will also welcome people into the royal family lineage."

"Your Majesty is in the prime of youth, why do you remain childless?"

Lu Yanchao was a little puzzled.

"It's not your place to ask about this."

Mrs. Hua glanced at him angrily.

Lu Yanchao realized that there was something hidden inside, and shut up knowingly: "What do you want, godmother, now?"

"I'm afraid that the eunuch is preparing to report to the emperor to welcome Lu Wenqian back to the capital. That's why I'm here."

Mrs. Hua raised her eyebrows and said: "I thought that Lu Wenqian is now mentally and physically handicapped, so I don't have to worry about it, but after meeting your second aunt today, I already feel uneasy. The Empress Wen back then relied on her With the help of his unreliable skills, he has become an eternal king. The most urgent task is to find a way to get rid of this couple."

At this point, Mrs. Hua couldn't help but reveal a sinister smile: "If you can get rid of your second uncle before the chief eunuch makes a decision, you can replace your second uncle in the palace. In the future, the world of the Great Moon Dynasty will It doesn’t belong to you and me, mother and son.”

Lu Yanchao kowtowed in confusion: "If that day comes, I will definitely treat my godmother as my biological mother, and I will never let down my godmother's kindness."
