Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

"The Emperor and the Concubine are both fine. They just had a long journey and have rested."

During dinner, the Supreme Emperor had a few drinks with Old Man Lu, and Mrs. Liu took her back to the courtyard to rest. It was getting dark now, so it would be impolite to wake someone up.

Fortunately, the emperor's trip was not specifically to meet the Supreme Emperor. He mainly wanted to ask about Lu Baichuan's specific situation, so he followed Lu Baichuan directly to the study without being polite to everyone in the Lu family.

"As long as nothing happens, I can rest assured."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask: "What's going on with the people of the island country? We have been in harmony with each other for so many years. How come they can't sit still in recent years and want to interfere in everything?"

In the past, there were only four countries fighting each other, east, west, north and south. After all, they are close together and have many interests involved. It is normal for them to fight. However, the island country is so far away from here and the sea is dangerous. Even a single trip may lead to death. They come to Beiyan frequently. What do you mean?

Lu Baichuan personally poured a cup of tea for the emperor, and then said: "The island country has frequent natural disasters and scarce resources. It is probably because of the serious natural disasters in recent years that it turned its attention to us."

"I believe that they are not only coming to Beiyan, but also from several other countries. I just don't know if they have discovered it yet."

What Lu Baichuan didn't say was that he suspected that his wife's little black ball was too powerful and blew up all the resources on the island, so the talents of these island countries tried their best to come to other countries to cause destruction.

However, what cannot be ruled out is that the islanders are inherently ambitious. Even without these factors, they would not give up their invasion. This is what my daughter-in-law hates most about them.

"You said that they have been asking you to hand over Pangu Jade. Presumably they know about the treasure, but the treasure is so unpredictable. How did they not want anything else but Pangu Jade?"

The emperor was very puzzled. They wanted to invade and had many things they wanted to plot. Why did they only want Pangu Jade?

Not to mention that it is not necessary to get Pangu Jade to find the treasure. Whether the treasure exists or not is another question.

"There may be Dongting and Nantai contributing to this. Of course, the most serious thing is that I suspect that there is something behind-the-scenes in the court, otherwise they would not know that Pangu Jade is in my wife's body. The kidnapping of the Supreme Emperor and the Dowager Concubine this time is just a connection. killed us."

Lu Baichuan calmly analyzed that he failed to resign and would still have to serve the court after returning.

He can ignore the internal strife between the DPRK and China, but he must take care of things like this that threaten national security.

The emperor's expression also became serious. The matter in Dongting had just been resolved before, but now an island country has emerged. This country will no longer be able to live in peace.

"Bai Chuan, you are the one I trust the most. I wouldn't trust anyone to entrust this kind of matter to anyone. I can only investigate it through you. In order to avoid alerting others, I have to investigate it secretly. Wherever there are useful people, you can go there at any time. I fully support it." and cooperation.”

As he said that, he gave Lu Baichuan a token, which was a transfer order representing the emperor's status. With this thing, anyone who wanted to be transferred could be transferred directly without having to ask for instructions.

Lu Baichuan did not refuse. He was the one who brought the Supreme Emperor back, and he was the one who discovered the islanders. He had planned to investigate this matter himself. This was his meritorious service, and he would be the one who was taken advantage of if he let him go.

In the two years since he was away, the only one in the family was Mr. Lu, who was just hanging around as a minor official. He didn't know anything about the affairs of the court. The emperor focused on cultivating new people. In the eyes of outsiders, the Lu family was no different from falling out of favor.

Before they didn't come back, the lower profile the better, but now that he's back and given the chance to move forward, he won't look back.

There is no point in simply giving in. You have to stand at the peak of power, making the emperor think twice before he acts.

Therefore, this case is the first turnaround battle he will fight when he comes back.

"Yes, I will do my best."

Lu Baichuan accepted the order and talked about some people's livelihood he saw outside and reflected on the situation. As for what to do, it only depends on what step the emperor can take.

There were good times and bad times, and the emperor was sometimes angry and sometimes happy. The two chatted until late at night before the emperor left.

As for the Supreme Emperor, he can just send someone to pick him up after he has rested, and there will be no need to worry about it in the middle of the night. When Lu Baichuan returned to his room, he found that his wife was still awake. He was a little curious: "What are you thinking about? Why are you still up so late?"

"I'm just curious if the emperor has entrusted this matter to you?"

Jiang Jiuniang pressed her cheeks lazily. She was obviously very sleepy, but she couldn't help but want to gossip.

"Ah."

Lu Baichuan nodded.

"I knew it."

Jiang Jiuniang rolled her eyes. This kind of troublesome matter must be left to Lu Baichuan, because others can't handle it at all.

"I was originally going to take this case, so I wouldn't trust anyone else."

Lu Baichuan smiled and didn't care.

After Jiang Jiuniang got the news she wanted to know, she got up and went to lie down on the bed. She said lazily: "Then you go and do your business. I haven't had enough fun yet. Let's get down to business after a while."

Because she found that not only Youya but also Ting Yatou and Jie Zi should see each other when they were old. She had to hold a few more banquets. She would not have time to hold banquets every day when she was busy in the future.

"It's okay, you can play if you want, I will take care of things."

Lu Baichuan washed up, turned on the lamp, went to bed, and slept with the person in his arms.

Tonight, Xiangxiang slept with his grandparents, and the two of them had a rare space to be alone together.

Unfortunately, after running around for days, the two of them didn't think about anything else, so they fell asleep soon after hugging each other.

The next day, the news of Lu Baichuan's return to the capital spread throughout the country, and many people came to visit. However, the Lu family closed its doors to thank guests, saying that they had just returned and had not yet made arrangements, and that they would hold a banquet in a few days to invite everyone to the house.

In fact, Lu Baichuan secretly sent the Emperor and Concubine Liu back to the palace, and then made an appointment with Qin Jian and Prince Jing for a small gathering at home that night.

Qin Jian's son took the surname Peng from Peng Yuan and named him Peng Ke. At the age of about three years, he had already begun to enlighten.

It's a pity that this kid is very playful and doesn't like to study. When he came here, he had just been taught a lesson by Qin Jian and there were still tears on his face.

When he was still in his infancy, Jiang Jiuniang's family went out to play. He didn't have much contact with him, but he had grown up hearing about the deeds of Jiang Jiuniang's family since he was a child, so he was no stranger to him.

Especially the dog that everyone praises is his nightmare. Because he doesn't like to study, people always compare the dog with him, which is annoying to death.

When they met for the first time, the adults were very excited and sat together chatting and discussing things. However, Peng Ke was the most unhappy. He stared at the dog with a sad face from the moment he walked in, as if the dog owed him money.

"Ke'er, mother, let me tell you again, it's wrong for you to stare at people like this."

Peng Yuan has said this three times since entering the door, and her patience has been exhausted. (End of chapter)
