Chapter 312
Lu Ping’s color changed slightly
How could King Yan suddenly come to the Lu family?
This condescending gesture, at such a sensitive juncture, not only did it not make people feel touched, but instead, it revealed an inscrutable and fishy uneasiness
Lu Hong reminded in a low voice: ”Second uncle, His Highness the King of Yan has made a special visit, there must be something important
It is better not to delay, quickly go and welcome His Highness in!”
Lu Ping returned to his senses and nodded
The King of Yan was approaching, and everyone in the Lu family had to welcome him along with Lu PingYour Highness’ personal visit has caused the humble servant to be flattered and sincerely terrified”
Lu Ping respectfully bends down and arches his hands in salute
The Lu family behind him saluted along with Lu Ping
Yan Wang tugged at the corners of his lips, his voice still quite gentle, “Master Lu doesn’t need to be courteous, this king is also here on the orders of his father”
Lu Ping: “” He was merely a military department principal, and was not even qualified to participate in court meetings on weekdays
Why did the Emperor suddenly think of him?
Lu Ping bowed and smiled, “I don’t know what His Majesty’s message is?”
King Yan swept his gaze and landed on the handsome young man behind Lu Ping, a hint of gloomy coldness flashing in his eyes
It was this Lu Hong!
If it wasn’t because of him, Princess Changping wouldn’t have gotten carried away and killed Xu extra horse harnessed by the side of a team, much less ended up in the current situation
Now that Princess Changping has been imprisoned in the Ciyun nunnery, he too does not want to stay out of it and relax
King Yan’s gaze that fell on Lu Hong was too obvious
Lu Hong’s heart sank
The feeling of ill will was growing stronger!
Lu Hong hung his head, still feeling King Yan’s gaze scrape across his face like a blade, secretly terrified
He only heard King Yan leisurely say, ”Actually, there is nothing important
Father has heard that Grand Duke Lu is talented and suave, and has the intention to meet him
I ordered this king to personally come to fetch Grand Prince Lu into the palace to meet the saint”
Lu Hong: ” “Lu family members: ” “The short few words were like thunderbolts from a clear sky, shocking Everyone was dizzy
How did the emperor hear of Lu Hong’s name?
The talent is just, that suave four words is if the reference, think extremely fear ah!
Not to mention Lu Hong, even the smooth and worldly Lu Ping was also stunned by these words and could not speak for half a day
Yan Wang cold eyes looked at Lu Hong pale face, heart secretly cold snort, seemingly smiling but not smiling, said: “Lu big son, now with this king into the palace!
Father Emperor is still waiting to see you”
The Emperor’s summons, of course, could not be refused
Lu Hong fixed his mind, arched his hand and said, “Please allow me to change into clean new clothes and freshen up before going into the palace to meet the saint”
It was just the right time to take advantage of this opportunity to discuss countermeasures with his second uncle
King Yan clearly saw through Lu Hong’s mind, and said slightly impatiently, “It’s not like you’re a woman, so you don’t need to freshen up and change your clothes, just get on the carriage now”
The tone of his voice reveals an overbearing nature that is taken for granted!
Lu Hong’s heart tightened, but he did not dare to respond
Lu Ping watched Lu Hong get on the carriage with Yan Wang, and was distracted as he watched the carriage depart
After the carriage faded out of sight, his face became grave and he quickly whispered, “Ah Qian, you immediately repair a letter back to Jizhou and tell your father about this matter”
Lu Qian answered and was about to turn around and leave, but Lu Ping changed his mind, “That’s all!
It is better for me to write the letter myself for such an important matter
Come with me to the study!”
Lu Qian followed Lu Ping into the study
Lu Ping wrinkled his brows and spread out the letter paper
Lu Qian silently stood aside to study the ink, his heart in a daze
Everything was different from the previous life!
Empress Xu and Princess Changping had crossed the stage respectively, leaving only King Yan to struggle for support
Yan Wang’s hopes of competing for the position of Crown Prince were getting slimmer and slimmer
If King Yan fails to sit on the dragon chair, what will happen to the Lu family, which is dependent on King Yan?
What would be the fate of Lu Hong, who had been summoned to the palace to face the saint?
There was also Ling Jingshu, who was originally a female officer beside Empress Xu, and now that she was trapped in the palace, would there be a chance for her to leave the palace?
What can he do?
All sorts of questions weighed heavily on his heart, leaving him breathless
Lu Ping is full of thoughts, did not notice Lu Qian’s strange, quickly wrote the letter, ordered people fast horse whip day and night to send to Jizhou
Lu Hong had fantasized several times about going to the palace to face the saint
In these fantasies, without exception, he won the high school exams, and then in the Palace Examination shine, won the favor of the Emperor
From then on, he had a bright future ahead of him
He had never imagined that he would be summoned to the palace by the emperor under such embarrassing circumstances
Along the way, Yan Wang closed his eyes to sleep, I don’t know whether it is intentional or unintentional, from beginning to end also did not say a word to him
Lu Hong sat in the carriage in silence, his thoughts fluttering
After entering the palace gates, he followed King Yan into the Purple Chen Palace
After King Yan entered the palace, he stood alone under the eaves of the veranda and waited for more than an hour
It wasn’t until his legs and feet were sore from standing that he waited for the Emperor to summon him
The Purple Chen Hall was filled with the smell of medicine, mixed with sandalwood incense, creating a not-so-good-smelling and exasperating odor
The emperor was not wearing a dragon robe, only wearing his regular clothes, half reclining, half leaning on the dragon chair
Lu Hong did not dare to raise his head and knelt down to perform a great salute: “Student Lu Hong, see Your Majesty”
He is a lifer with merit, calling himself a student is also appropriate
The emperor did not say anything, his sharp gaze settled on his body
Lu Hong did not dare to get up, still maintain the kneeling position, back gradually seeped out cold sweat
All the way to the apprehension, the heart of seven up and down, now, this bad feeling is finally confirmed
His Majesty had indeed come with bad intentions!
The matter between him and Princess Changping, under the incitement of those who had the intention to spread it, had already spread throughout the capital
The emperor must have also heard about it, which is why he summoned him into the palace to inquire
Today, I don’t know if he will still be able to walk out of the Zichen Hall alive
I don’t know how long it took before the Emperor faintly asked, “You are Lu Hong?”
Lu Hong knelt straight and respectfully answered yesRaise your head and let me take a look”
The emperor’s voice could not be heard in joy or anger, yet it carried a heart-stopping majesty
Lu Hong could only raise his head
He finally got a good look at the Emperor
The Emperor was already old, his face was full of sickly pallor, the corners of his forehead were full of wrinkles, and he looked as if he was no different from any other aged old man
But that pair of slightly narrowed eyes, but surprisingly sharp and compelling
The emperor measured a few eyes, meaningless smile, slowly said: “you really born handsome and elegant, outstanding style
Changping’s eyesight is not bad”
Lu Hong’s face turned white
Sure enough, it was because of Princess Changping!
In front of the emperor who knows everything, Lu Hong could not give birth to any refutation, silently swallowed that humiliation, and answered in a low voice: “The student’s mind is inferior, and does not dare to be complimented by the emperor, and is even less worthy of obtaining the favor of your highness the princess”
