Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

Chapter 163 The Uninvited Guest

Such a big event happened in the court, but Lu Chen was still as usual. After the morning court, he would either go to Zichen Palace to teach the empress mathematics, or get familiar with the new job in the public house, and then go home at some point, or work overtime for the empress to work or teach. A busy day in the life.

You should eat and drink, and don't take things to heart.

It was as if he was not the one to be impeached so severely, and he had no intention of proving his innocence, so he just let the undercurrent flow.

However, when he is leisurely and fulfilling every day, whether it is the empress, or Gu Simiao, or Fang Ping, Liu Dongyang, Xiao Yun, Xiao Yi, etc., it can be said that, except for the temporary and Cangming Except for Fu Yu who returned to the Holy Realm with the Holy King, almost everyone who has a good relationship with Lu Chen is paying close attention to the development of this matter.

The Empress even thought about fabricating the facts and making Lu Chen say she was ordered by her to find a way to instigate Chai Hongyu, but she gave up this plan when she thought of Lu Chen's down-to-earth and outrageously upright character.

During this period of time, as long as Lu Chen doesn't work overtime in Zichen Palace after he is on duty, and returns home normally, there will be guests at home.

Thanks to this, Luo Xiaoyu, the little butler, has a lot of contacts at once. After all, when these big shots are waiting for Lu Chen, they will chat with her for a while when they are bored.

Anyway, Luo Xiaoyu is also Lu Chen's childhood sweetheart, almost the person who knows Lu Chen best. Fang Ping and the others, especially Gu Simiao, are still very interested in Lu Chen's past, knowing that Lu Chen has a lot of past. thing.

Even though she knew that Lu Chen would come back very late, she would stay in Lu's mansion and chat with Luo Xiaoyu.

After tasting Luo Xiaoyu's cooking once, and knowing that it was Lu Chen who taught her the skill himself, she came more frequently.

However, if some things don't happen for a while, it doesn't mean they will never happen.

"Miaoer."

When the five members of the Gu family and the Gu family were eating, Mrs. Zhao suddenly spoke, breaking the peace of the past.

Gu Simiao raised her head, looked at her mother, and said softly.

"What's the matter? Mother, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Zhao hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Gu Yanming who was silent, then gritted her teeth, and then spoke slowly.

"What's the relationship between you and that Lu Chen now?"

Gu Simiao gently put down the bowl.

"Colleagues with a better relationship, there is nothing else other than this."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Really? That's good, that's good..."

A very happy look.

Gu Simiao frowned, noticing something unusual.

After being severely reprimanded by her father before, her own mother, who is always in a position of power, has become a lot more honest. It has been a long time since she brought up such a topic with her, and now she suddenly brought it up, as if she wanted to interfere in her life again, which immediately made her instinctively Feel something wrong.

"What's the matter? Mother, why did you say this suddenly?"

Seeing her obedient daughter asking back, Mrs. Zhao hesitated for a moment, but still bit her lower lip, and said, "Today, I went to Baoxiang Temple to offer incense for my mother and some former boudoir friends. While eating vegetarian food, I heard a story about Lu Chen bad news."

Hearing this, Gu Simiao's eyes flashed with clarity.

Mrs. Zhao continued: "I heard... that Lu Chen and the chief general of the world's number one rebel are a couple, and a righteous man used a retrospective spirit stone to record that they depended on each other for life and death when they faced powerful enemies, and they never left. There is ironclad evidence that Lu Chen is not a loyal minister, but a traitor, and he only joined the government to disturb the court and subvert the world for the leader of the traitor."

"They said that many officials in the court have asked Lu Chen to be executed, but His Majesty was grateful for the loyalty he had pretended, and was deceived by his rhetoric. Even in the face of such ironclad evidence, he would not execute Lu Chen, but continued as before. Local trust is more important than him, based on this, many insightful people in Luojing are ready to jointly launch a campaign to denounce Lu Ni, get rid of disobedient ministers, and bring peace to the Great Xia court and the world..."

As she spoke, she stared at Gu Simiao seriously.

"Although it sounds unbelievable, but there is no wind without waves, this incident is so big, so many people say that Lu Chen is a traitor, the ironclad evidence is true, Miaoer, since you have nothing to do with that Lu Chen, in the future you must Stay away from him, absolutely don't have anything to do with him, lest His Majesty wake up and implicate our Gu family when Lu Chen was killed..."

Hearing this, Gu Simiao's complexion gradually became serious.

Snapped!
As soon as Mrs. Zhao finished speaking, Gu Yanming slammed the porcelain bowl on the dining table, and Mrs. Zhao was startled by the crisp sound.

"Husband... Husband..."

Gu Yanming snorted coldly, ignored her, but turned to look at Gu Simiao.

"Miaoer, don't listen to your mother's nonsense. You know better than us what kind of person Lu Chen is. He can't be a traitor at all. These news and the so-called ironclad evidence must come from some scumbags. If he is really a traitor, he would not stand up when His Majesty was controlled by the Demon Queen. After all, the reason why Yu Jiuyuan had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation was the Queen Mother's disorderly government. !"

"At the beginning, under the rule of the Demon Queen, corruption was rampant in all states and counties, and the common people had no means of living. Only in such a turbulent Great Xia did the soil for rebels breed, and only then did the rebels have the opportunity to grow like Jiuyuan. How could the rebels hope so much? Your Majesty’s presence of a Holy Lord? So the theory of anti-thief is pure nonsense.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao felt a little anxious.

"But they all say that..."

Gu Yanming glanced at her coldly.

"When the Gu family was questioned and imprisoned by the court, they also said the same thing. What happened?"

Faced with her husband's rhetorical question, Zhao's aura suddenly shrank by half.

"This... how can this be the same, Miaoer didn't really betray the court..."

"Then how do you know that Mr. Lu was not slandered? Could it be that our Gu family's situation was much better than Mr. Lu's?"

Zhao was at a loss for words.

"Hmph, long hair but short knowledge!"

Gu Simiao: "..."

She looked at her silver-white waist-length hair in a speechless voice.

This old man's temperament is a bit similar to Lu Chen's piece of wood...

Could it be said that the true loyal ministers are all careless and straightforward?

The younger brothers and sisters continued to cook food, acting as an invisible person as much as possible, turning a deaf ear to everything around them.

Gu Yanming turned his head again and looked at Gu Simiao.

"Miao'er, my father said that no one has the right to interfere with your life in the future, so you can make up your own mind on how to make a decision on this matter, but you have to remember one thing."

After a pause, his voice became a little heavy.

"Lord Lu is very kind to our Gu family. No matter what, we can't do anything to let him down."

Obviously, he also felt that this incident seemed a little unusual.

"Ah."

Gu Simiao nodded.

"I know, Dad."

Seeing that his daughter's face did not waver in the slightest, a smile gradually appeared on Gu Yanming's extremely serious face.

.........

Facts have proved that what Mrs. Zhao heard in Baoxiang Temple about the appeal against Lu Chen was not a rumor.

Early the next morning, when Lu Chen opened the door of the mansion, he saw a crowd of people outside.

Dozens of Guozijian Gongsheng in Confucian scarves and shirts and hundreds of scribes in blue shirts were gathered around the door. When they saw him coming out, everyone stared at him immediately.

"The thief Lu is out!"

Several Gongsheng students shouted, and then violently stimulated the spiritual power in their bodies, while constantly cursing Lu Chen's anti-thief, everyone got it and punished him, while walking towards Lu Chen quickly.

The others immediately followed.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chen couldn't help squinting his eyes.

oh?Is it coming so soon...

Facing the menacing group of hot-blooded teenagers and hot-blooded youths, Lu Chen didn't show any fear on his face, as if he didn't see them, he stepped forward calmly and walked forward.

Seeing that Lu Chen ran away without turning around, but walked towards this side without any precautions, everyone was stunned, apparently they did not expect Lu Chen to be so brave.

But they were just stunned for a moment, and then sneered in the next second, and then quickened their pace, with a look of impatience on their faces.

However, their sneer lasted for less than a second, and then instantly froze on their faces with a sudden chill.

click...

Accompanied by a crisp sound, these uninvited guests suddenly found that they could not move their feet. At the same time, an extremely cold breath quickly spread from their feet. In an instant, their feet completely lost consciousness.

"what!!"

A Gongsheng screamed suddenly, but saw that his feet had formed a layer of frost at some point, and he was firmly fixed on the ground, unable to move at all.

Not only him, when other people looked down at their legs, they immediately found out in horror that their feet were also frozen.

"This...this is..."

Before they could react, an extremely terrifying aura suddenly appeared out of thin air, like a mountain pressing down heavily, instantly oppressing them almost out of breath. The whole person could do nothing but breathe desperately to survive instinctively. no.

He couldn't say a single word of the words that scolded Lu Chen before.

pat...

Soon, someone fell heavily on the ground, panting greedily and violently, exhaling white mist continuously.

"Good day, Huaiyu."

As the Gongsheng fell to the ground one by one, a crisp voice sounded softly.

A moment later, Gu Simiao's graceful figure slowly appeared in front of Lu Chen, looking at him with a smile on her face.

"I happened to pass by, let's go to court together."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was speechless.

Gu's mansion is between his house and Zhuque Street, Gu Simiao's route to court is westward, only he will pass by Gu's mansion on his way to court, there is no such thing as Gu Simiao passing by Lu's mansion on his way to court.

He didn't believe a single hair on his leg.

But what else can he say if the girl is kind?

Shaking his head, Lu Chen walked over to Gu Simiao directly past a group of Gongsheng scribes who fell to the ground.

"Miss Gu, do you know that they will come to Lu's residence today to make things difficult for me?"

"Ah."

Gu Simiao didn't deny it, and didn't bother to pretend.

"Heard some bad rumors yesterday."

"yes…"

Lu Chen sighed softly, didn't ask any more questions, but walked forward on his own.

Gu Simiao turned around and followed.

And when the two of them went up side by side.

clatter…

Under an inconspicuous roof not far away, with a burst of air shaking, several ghost-like figures slowly appeared. When seeing Gu Simiao filled with extremely huge spiritual power, following Lu Chen step by step, Unanimously, they retracted the blade in their hands into the scabbard.

Immediately afterwards, several people looked at each other, and then two of them slammed their feet hard and flew towards the direction of Ziji City, while the others jumped up and came to a group of Gongsheng who were easily subdued by Gu Simiao.
