Chapter 81;
Surprise
How dare Li De accept this?
Even if the emperor is wrong, how dare a servant of his to say it?
"Under the circumstances like that, you had no choice."
Emperor Hongwen leaned back in silence, squinting his eyes and sinking into memories.
Yes, when the late emperor was seriously ill, the crown prince had not yet been established, and the kings were competing for the throne, when he returned from Jiangdong, he was involved in a series of whirlpools.
Every step of the way is frightening, and there is nothing you can do. When the overall situation is decided, you look back and see that the person in your heart is already married.
At that time, he was very angry and even thought about dealing with the Lu family. However, he had just ascended the throne at that time and the court was unstable, so he mostly relied on the Queen and the Duke.
The queen is also a jealous person. If she knew that he was getting involved with other women when he went to Jiangdong to escape the disaster, it would probably make his position unstable.
So I just dusted everything off.
After so many years, the emperor's position has been firmly established, and the initial anger has dissipated.
Now in this harem, he also has many concubines, but none of them can make him experience the feeling he had when he was with Lu Yunjun.
The anger was gone, but gradually there were more memories and even a little guilt.
The beauty of the country, he finally failed the beauty and chose the country.
"Your Majesty, I have something I don't know whether to say or not?"
Emperor Hongwen frowned, his eyes somewhat dissatisfied with Li De interrupting his memories.
However, he didn't blame this old servant who had been working for him for half his life.
"We, master and servant, have been through thick and thin together. If you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it directly."
"Just now, I heard from Master Huo Di that Miss Lu was born three months prematurely."
When he said this, Emperor Hongwen looked startled.
There was a flash of light in his eyes, but it soon became silent.
"You are getting bolder and bolder."
Plop.
Li De quickly knelt down.
"The old slave was speechless for a moment."
Emperor Hongwen looked at him calmly.
Li De, who was kneeling there, began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Get up."
"This matter ends here. I don't want to hear any gossip outside."
"Yes, I have remembered it."
Li De responded tremblingly.
The next day.
Lu Yaoyao got up early again.
After washing up.
"Qiu Yu, go to your second uncle's place and see if he is ready."
The autumn rain had just subsided, and Qiu Shuang came in from outside.
"Miss, Lao Kang is here."
Lu Yaoyao raised his eyebrows.
"Why did he come here so early in the morning if he didn't stay at Zhuangzi?"
Lao Kang is the head of her farm. Of course, this is his current identity. Many years ago, this Lao Kang was a man in the world.
He was chased and seriously injured and passed out on the mountain. He was then picked up and brought back to the village by Lu Yaoyao who was wandering around the mountain looking for something.
From then on, he became Lu Yaoyao's man. He has been trying his best to help manage the village's affairs over the years, and of course he is also secretly responsible for many things.
"He said he had something important to report to you."
"Let him in."
Lu Yaoyao still trusts Lao Kang, and compared with these years, Lao Kang has helped her a lot.
Not long after, a middle-aged man in his forties came back with Qiu Shuang.
"The old slave has met the young lady."
"Okay, there are no outsiders here, so there's no need to be polite."
Lu Yaoyao waved her hand. What she disliked the most was the rules of greeting each other when meeting.
"Tell me, what is the big thing that made you come here to report this early in the morning?"
"yes"
Lao Kang quickly reported the strange things in the village in the past two days.
"Oh? Go to the village to inquire about me. Has anyone noticed anything?"
"No, fortunately the secret sentry discovered it in time, and I covered it up in advance."
Lu Yaoyao's farm is extraordinary.
Not only are there utensils and food that cannot be seen outside, but there are also many secrets hidden there.
And the biggest secret is that almost half of the villagers are secret guards that she has taken great pains to recruit and train over the years.
Not to mention that all of them are martial arts masters, but each has his or her own unique features.
This is also the fundamental reason why her village has so many novel objects in the suburbs of Beijing for more than ten years, but no news has spread outside.
It’s not that no one had any thoughts, but those who had thoughts were secretly dealt with as soon as they left Zhuangzi.
"Do you know who he is?"
"There are two groups of people, one is from the Gao family, and the other is from the imperial palace. I heard from Hou Si that their skills are very extraordinary."
"It's the legendary Emperor's Guard."
"Tianziwei!"
Lu Yaoyao raised his head in surprise, and Qiu Shuang beside him also looked shocked.
The Emperor's Guard is said to be the number one ANBU who only takes orders from the Emperor of the day.
Each of them is a first-rate master, specialized in handling some matters that are apparently difficult to deal with.
For example, after Emperor Hongwen ascended the throne, most of the kings who had participated in the fight for the throne were secretly dealt with by the Emperor's Guard.
"I can understand why people from the Gao family want to go, and I'm not surprised either."
"Isn't it a bit exaggerated for Tian Ziwei to investigate me, a nobody?"
"Are you sure it's the Emperor's Guard?"
Lu Yaoyao really didn't believe that the Emperor's Guards were the emperor's minions. If they could be dispatched to do something, which one was not a first-class event?
She is just a powerless little person, and Tianziwei is investigating her?
No matter how you think about it, it feels a bit fantasy.
"At first, the old slave was also suspicious, thinking that it was probably someone arranged by Concubine Gao Shu."
"But Hou Si has confirmed it over and over again, it's the Emperor's Guard."
Si Si is not an ordinary person at this time. To be precise, he was once a member of the Emperor's Guard.
He was just a former emperor's guard. He was one of the people sent out when the kings were in chaos.
However, he was unlucky and lost most of his life during the mission.
If he hadn't been lucky enough to meet the wandering Divine Doctor Lin, he would have been completely cold.
But even if he survived, one arm was still missing.
The emperor's guard without his arms is a useless abandoned son, and there is only a dead end if he goes back.
He didn't want to die, so after he recovered from his injuries, he kept his name anonymous and became a follower of Dr. Lin, accompanying him all over the world as his bodyguard.
Until Lin, the genius doctor, met Lu Yaoyao, and the two became friends for many years, Lin, the genius doctor, settled down at the farm and concentrated on studying medical skills.
After learning about Lu Yaoyao, and seeing that she wanted to train a group of people who could be used to protect herself, Doctor Lin lent Hou Si to Lu Yaoyao.
Over the years, Hou Si has gradually become Lu Yaoyao's person.
After all, in the heart of Divine Doctor Lin, Lu Yaoyao is now half of his master, and he himself has become Lu Yaoyao's person, so naturally Hou Si needless to say.
Because Hou Si has a special identity, since he has confirmed everything, there will definitely be no problem.
It's just that she can't figure it out no matter what, how could a being like the Royal Shadow Guard keep an eye on her?
Could it be that someone on the farm was exposed?
Or is there something wrong with her deal with Prince Jin some time ago?
