After an hour, the palace will be cleaned up.

Qin Lu and Qin Tieniu stood in front of the hall, and the emperor looked at them with joy, "You have handled the salt merchant's matter very well, I am very pleased."

"Your Majesty, thanks to your trust, Minnv and Tieniu were able to complete the task."

"Very good, then my lord is not joking, I don't know if you two have any objections to marrying the two of you?" The emperor looked at Qin Lu with a smile.

Hearing the emperor's offer of marriage, Qin Lu blushed a little, she subconsciously looked at Qin Tieniu, only to see that his face was even redder than hers.

"My son, thank you, father." "Don't be in a hurry to thank, go back to the mansion first to rest, and the reward will come later." The emperor felt sorry for his son, so he asked Qin Tieniu to take Qin Lu back.

After leaving Qianqing Palace, Qin Tieniu met Uncle Guo.

"The crown prince has been deposed. It is estimated that the emperor will soon order you to be the crown prince. The imperial concubine will definitely take action. I should pay more attention during this time."

"Thank you, Uncle Guo, for reminding me." Qin Tieniu and Uncle Guo still seemed to have some relationship, but it was much better than before.

Saying goodbye to Uncle Guo, Qin Lu and the two hurried back to the palace.

There were too many things to do when she came back, Qin Tieniu sent someone to secretly protect Qin Lu, while she went straight to the hot pot shop.

In Yongcheng, she often received letters from A Ming, saying that the business was getting hotter and hotter, and she felt itchy in her heart, so she just came here.

When she saw that Amin had adjusted the store according to her request, she was very relieved.

A Ming, who was busy, turned his head and saw Qin Lu, and immediately shouted, "Shopkeeper, you are back."

"Yes, Boss Qin is back."

……

Qin Lu was instantly surrounded by everyone, who either asked her how she handled the Yongcheng matter, or why these dim sum and hot pot were so delicious.

Being so loved all of a sudden, Qin Lu is really not suitable, but she will explain it to everyone very gently.

It was already dark when she finished her work here, and Qin Tieniu came to take her back to the house against the moonlight.

"The imperial decree to bestow marriage has arrived, and father will be released tomorrow, and all the prince's henchmen have been imprisoned..." Qin Tieniu told Qin Lu everything in one breath.

The rest of Qin Lu didn't feel anything, but when she heard Qin Tieniu say that her father would start coming out tomorrow, she burst into tears, "Daddy, can you really come out?"

"I can't lie to you?" Qin Tieniu gently scratched Qin Lu's nose, "Okay, stop crying, and go to welcome dad back home tomorrow."

"it is good."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and went back to the palace holding hands.

At Haishi, everyone on Qin Lu's side fell asleep, but there was someone in the harem who tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. This person was either someone else or the imperial concubine.

"come..."

The noble concubine got up irritably, and the maids and nuns outside the door hurried to the hall when they heard her voice, "My lady, it's late at night."

"Did Pei Zhengyan come back today?" The imperial concubine asked feebly, the maid and the nanny faced each other, neither of them spoke.

But the imperial concubine caught the flash of dodge on their faces, she frowned, "Talk."

Seeing the noble concubine was annoyed, the maid knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I heard that the emperor has rewarded the prince heavily and even married him. There are also rumors that the imperial decree given by the emperor includes..."

"Including what?" The noble concubine waited anxiously for the maid.

The palace maid took a deep breath, closed her eyes and said: "Depose the crown prince, and make the prince the crown prince."

"No, absolutely can't be like this, absolutely can't let Pei Zhengyan become the prince."

The imperial concubine seemed to be stimulated, and paced back and forth in the room, muttering for a while before looking at the nanny.

When Mammy caught the eyes of the imperial concubine, she was instantly terrified, "Your Majesty, no matter what you do, this old slave will do it."

"Alright, go find those dead men, I want Pei Zhengyan to die tonight..."

"Yes."

Nanny responded to the imperial concubine's words with a thin expression, then turned and left the room.

At this time, the body of the maid who was still kneeling on the ground was like a sieve, and the imperial concubine got up and came to the maid, "Go and deliver a letter to the prince, and just say that this palace will not let him have any accidents, and let him wait with peace of mind."

"Yes, the servant will go here."

The court lady left the imperial concubine's bedroom, and did not go to the East Palace, but went directly to Eunuch Qin.

The emperor fell asleep in the middle of the night, Eunuch Qin wanted to rest but saw the noble concubine's maid, he frowned, "What's the matter?"

Knowing the urgency of the situation, the maid quickly said what the concubine wanted to do, then knelt on the ground, "Eunuch Qin, I don't want anything to happen to the prince."

"Get up and tell the noble concubine after you go back that you have completed the task and don't do anything else."

"Yes."

After the palace maid left, Eunuch Qin reported the matter to the emperor, and when the emperor learned that the imperial concubine was going to do something to Pei Zhengyan, Longyan was furious, "This mother and son really don't want to see each other."

Then the emperor let the imperial forest army go to the palace.

It's just that when they arrived, the war was over, and the dead soldiers and nuns were all controlled by Qin Tieniu's men.

The commander of the imperial forest army looked at the dead soldiers tied up in the palace, and bowed to Qin Tieniu, "My lord, I'm late, and I hope you will make amends."

"Commander Zhang, I'm not such a casual person. Now that you can come, I'm very happy. The next thing will be Commander Lao Zhang."

Qin Tieniu humbly returned the salute to Commander Zhang.

Commander Zhang didn't expect Qin Tieniu to look at him so flattered and shake his head, "Your Majesty can't do it."

"Okay, thanks to you for taking care of my father these years, it's too late for me to thank you."

Qin Tieniu was sincerely grateful, and Commander Zhang could also see it clearly, and his affection for the prince who had just returned to Beijing soared in an instant.

"My lord, this subordinate has returned to the palace first, and the emperor is still waiting for his subordinate to return."

"Okay, there is Lao Zhang in command."

Qin Tieniu watched Commander Zhang leave at the gate of the palace.

After Commander Zhang left, Qin Lu came to Qin Tieniu with lingering fear, and hugged him involuntarily, "Tie Niu scared me to death just now."

"It's okay, daughter-in-law, we have already planned that the noble concubine will do something, so naturally we won't let her succeed." Qin Tieniu showed the most comfortable smile to Qin Lu.

This should be the most calm time for Qin Tieniu to smile after they came to the capital.

Looking at each other, Qin Lu would think that half an hour ago, there was a strange movement in the yard, and she was protected by Qin Tieniu, that feeling was very strange.

The people that the imperial concubine recruited were all dead men, all of whom were desperate. If Qin Lu hadn't given them drugs that couldn't kill them, they would have all turned into corpses by now.

"Is this noble concubine crazy? She even killed you. Now the emperor doesn't love the crown prince and doesn't care about the noble concubine. Doesn't she help us by doing this?"

Qin Lu really doesn't understand the behavior of the imperial concubine. If she keeps her own place, maybe the emperor will let them go because of old feelings, but now...
