Although Lu Zhaozhao thought so in his heart, he did not show it at all on his face. Instead, he said gratefully: "Thank you, Empress Shu, for your gift!"

"Get in the car!" the little father-in-law on the left signaled.

Lu Zhaozhao nodded, and with the help of Qingju, he slowly got on the carriage.

"Master Zhao..."

The moment she spoke, Lu Zhaozhao covered her mouth and made a silencing gesture.

Qingju blinked and subconsciously pointed outside the car.

Lu Zhaozhao nodded and retracted his fingertips.

Qingju pursed her lips and said nothing more.

After they were seated firmly, the carriage began to move forward slowly.

Speechless all the way.

It wasn't until the carriage stopped in front of the palace gate that the young father-in-law's sharp voice came from outside the carriage.

"We're here! Mr. Zhao, please get out of the car!"

Hearing this, Qing Ju immediately helped Lu Zhaozhao get up and get out of the carriage.

"Concubine Shu has only summoned Mr. Zhao. As for you, just stay outside the palace and wait!" The eyes of the little father-in-law on the left fell on Qing Ju.

Qing Ju's heart tightened, and she hurriedly said to please: "Eunuch! Mr. Zhao has inconvenient legs and feet, so let me help you enter the palace. I promise that after entering the palace, you will not look or listen randomly!"

"What? Don't you understand what Zajia is saying?" The voice of the little father-in-law on the left suddenly became sharper.

Qingju trembled.

"My father-in-law, please don't be angry. She is just worried that my legs and feet are inconvenient and I am walking too slowly. I am afraid that Concubine Shu will be impatient waiting for me!" Lu Zhaozhao silently pulled her behind him.

When the little father-in-law on the left heard this, his expression softened slightly: "Don't waste your time here, hurry up and leave!"

"Yes!" Lu Zhaozhao responded, looking back at Qingju, and motioning for her to wait obediently outside the palace.

Qingju opened her mouth with worry, and wanted to say something more, but was stopped by her eyes. In the end, she could only watch helplessly as she and the two young father-in-laws walked into the palace gate step by step, and finally disappeared from her sight. Inside.

Lu Zhaozhao lowered his eyelids. Under their leadership, they walked along the quiet and long palace road for an unknown amount of time, until the pain in his ankle became more intense, and they finally stopped in front of a palace.

The young father-in-law on the left came forward and whispered a few words in front of the palace maid waiting outside the door, and the palace maid walked quickly into the palace.

Soon...

The palace maid who left and returned said, "My Majesty, let you in!"

"Yes!" Lu Zhaozhao responded, walking slowly up the steps towards the palace.

At the same time, I silently prayed in my heart that King Wei would be more reliable this time and hurry up to find the prince to save him!

"Slave, I see you, Concubine Shu! May Concubine Shu be blessed!" Lu Zhaozhao knelt down and saluted.

Concubine Shu, who was sitting directly above her, looked at the figures kneeling and below her with lowered eyebrows. After a moment, she lightly opened her red lips and said, "Lift your head and show me!"

When Lu Zhaozhao heard this, he slowly raised his face.

What caught her eye was a delicate and beautiful face. If she hadn't known in advance that she was the prince's biological mother, she might have mistakenly thought that she was the prince's sister at this moment.

Compared to her stunning look, Concubine Shu was obviously not satisfied with her face.

The beautiful brows were frowned slightly.

Her face, which could be considered pretty at best, was still inconspicuous in the crowd. How could it catch her son's eyes?

And the most important thing is...       She is still a man!

"Do you know why I called you here?" Concubine Shu raised her hand and gently rubbed her temples.

Lu Zhaozhao hurriedly lowered his eyelids and said respectfully: "I don't know!"

She's not stupid, so why can't she dig a hole and bury herself?

Concubine Shu's eyes instantly became sharp: "Are you really ignorant, or are you pretending to be confused for me to understand?"

"Go back to Concubine Shu! This servant injured his foot a few days ago and has been recuperating in the mansion. So I really don't know why Concubine Shu called me here." Lu Zhaozhao opened his eyes without blushing and breathless. nonsense.

Concubine Shu stared at her sharply, as if she wanted to see through her.

Lu Zhaozhao knelt down neither humble nor arrogant, showing no hint of guilt or panic.

moment……

"You are calm, it seems you really don't know about the rumors outside!" Concubine Shu stood up and walked to her step by step.

"Please express it clearly, Concubine Shu!" Lu Zhaozhao said.

"There are rumors outside that there is an unspeakable relationship between Fan'er and you, but is it true?" Concubine Shu looked condescendingly into her eyes, not giving her any chance to lie.

Lu Zhaozhao pretended to be surprised and widened his eyes: "Impossible! How could there be such a ridiculous rumor? The relationship between the slave and the prince is absolutely pure and pure. There must be someone who deliberately poured dirty water on the prince and tried to I’ve ruined the reputation of the prince, so I’d like to ask Concubine Shu to warn me!”

Concubine Shu sneered, suddenly stretched out her hand, and pinched her face: "Fan'er carried you all the way back to Prince Yun's Mansion from Huanxian Pavilion, but it has been witnessed by everyone, do you want to deny it?"

"I don't dare!" Lu Zhaozhao tried his best to ignore her long nails, which pinched his cheeks in pain: "That day, my slave sprained his foot and couldn't walk. That's why the prince came up with this strategy. It's definitely not what the outside world said, slave. There is an indescribable relationship with the prince!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help but regret again. Why did she let him carry her back home that day?

But unfortunately...

Time will not go back, and it is too late for her to regret it now!

"He is my son, do you think I don't understand him?" Concubine Shu pinched her cheek's hand and said hard: "He has never been someone who would get close to others casually, let alone , or he personally carried it all the way back to the house!"

Lu Zhaozhao felt the pain on his cheek, and resisted the urge to slap her away and said: "The reason why the prince looks at this servant differently is indeed a hidden secret, but it is definitely not what the outside world said!"

"What do you want to say?" Concubine Shu narrowed her eyelids slightly and looked at her carefully.

"Concubine Shu, please step aside first, and then I will explain it to you in detail!" Lu Zhaozhao said.

Concubine Shu pondered for a moment and looked at her side, the eldest palace maid Dongqing.

Dongqing understood and waved to the waiting ladies.

The maids bowed their heads and exited the dormitory in an orderly manner.

"It's as you wished. I'd like to see what tricks you can come up with?" Concubine Shu gave her a hard shake, causing her to fall to the ground.

Lu Zhaozhao took advantage of the situation and sat down firmly, with no intention of getting up and kneeling again. After all, sitting was much easier than kneeling.

"Do you still remember the murder of a court official a few months ago?" Lu Zhaozhao asked in a low voice.

"Isn't this case settled long ago?" Concubine Shu said.

This incident caused panic at first, and it was difficult for her not to know about it!

"Actually, it's not over yet!" Lu Zhaozhao's voice lowered a bit: "The case just turned from bright to dark, and the reason why the servant pretended to be the servant next to the prince is actually to cooperate with the prince in investigating the matter. If Concubine Shu doesn't believe it, You can call the prince to come and ask!"
