Husband has a sweetheart
Chapter 212 The Night Banquet
Before he finished speaking, the iron spindle exploded instantly, and the soldiers screamed and were thrown to the ground, their flesh and blood flying everywhere.
Although Lu Dewen hid behind the soldiers, he was stunned alive and lost consciousness for a moment. When he woke up, there were several corpses on top of him, and his ears were ringing and dizzy.
Smoke and dust billowed in the courtyard, and he opened his frightened eyes to see Zhang Yuqing walking towards him from the house, with a cruel smile on his face that frightened him.
"Come here! Come here quickly!" Lu Dewen shouted loudly, unable to hear his own voice, his ears seemed to be deaf and he could not hear anything.He sat on the ground and trembled, trying to move back, but the soldier's body was pressed against him and he couldn't move.
The surrounding soldiers were either lying straight and turned into corpses, or were groaning with serious injuries. No one could "protect" Lu Dewen.
Lu Dewen reached out to touch his head and felt blood on his hand. Then he saw Zhang Yuqing holding a knife in his hand and walking straight towards him. He was so frightened that his eyes turned white and he passed out.
Zhang Yuqing and others walked out without even looking at Lu Dewen on the ground. Before leaving, they threw two iron spindles into Fansiyuan's room. With a huge explosion, the entire Fansiyuan was razed to the ground. The earth was trembling, and there was chaos within a ten-mile radius.
The originally exquisite and grand courtyard has now become a ruins.
Zhang Yuqing looked at it coldly and lowered the car curtain, "Let's go!"
A banquet was being held in the palace about ten miles away from the Lu Mansion. The Queen Mother wanted to thank all the people who came to the capital and drove away the vassal kings and ministers of Jin Yongxiu.
Lu Wei looked at the palace, which was more luxuriously decorated than in previous years, and strange emotions welled up in his heart for no reason. No matter how extravagant it was, it could not hide the signs that the dynasty was decaying and coming to an end.
It's like the last glorious reflection of a dying person.
The banquet was about to begin. Lu Wei stood on the main road into the palace paved with white marble, waiting for Zhang Yuqing to arrive.
He was a little anxious. He only brought the generals with him to the capital this time, not the usual stewards and servants. For these services, he could only make do with the servants from Fansiyuan.
I don't know if it's because he and Zhang Yuqing have been away from the capital these years, the people in Fansiyuan are tired from serving their master for a long time, or it's something else, but Zhang Yuqing hasn't been brought here yet, and no one has come to give him a reply.
Lu Wei has held a high position in recent years, and has been leading troops all year round, and has accumulated a lot of prestige. Now he is standing there with a sullen face, and his aura is amazing. Although there are many people trying to curry favor, anyone with eyes can see the mood of Lord Control at this moment. It's not good, no one dares to mess with it.
"Hey, Master Lu!" Someone called him from a distance.
Lu Wei looked for the reputation and recognized the person for a while. He was none other than the Queen Mother's father, Zhang Zuozhen, followed by Zhang Yuqian.
Zhang Zuozhen has now been promoted to a third-rank official by his grandson. Not only does he have the title of Duke Cheng'en, but he also has a sinecure in the Ministry of Etiquette. His figure is getting fatter, his eyelids are swollen, and he smells of alcohol and sex, which is completely gone. The handsomeness of youth.
Even though Zhang Yuqian was only a scholar, his brother-in-law, Emperor Anping, arranged for him to go through the back door. However, this did not prevent him from wearing the official uniform of a fourth-grade official. Someone's confidence.
Zhang Zuozhen led his son over and said attentively: "My dear nephew, I haven't seen you for many years."
Lu Wei cupped his hands, did not respond, and continued to look in the direction of the palace.To be honest, Zhang Zuozhen's family was not good to Zhang Yuqing. He had no good impression of the family and it would be best to never see them again.
"If my Yuying hadn't been designated by the master as the daughter of Phoenix Life, I shouldn't have called you my nephew now. I should have called you my son-in-law!" Zhang Zuozhen said with a smile, with a flattering look on his face.
Speaking of Feng Ming's daughter, Zhang Zuozhen couldn't hide her proud look.
Lu Wei thought of the past. Speaking of it, he had to thank the old bald donkey Ku De. If Ku De had not pointed out Zhang Yuying as the daughter of Feng Ming, he would have gone to Zhang's house to cancel the marriage with Zhang Yuying, and Zhang Yuqing didn't like him at that time, so she probably wouldn't be willing to marry him.
Ku De’s finger is a good one!Point him to a golden match.
"Sir, be careful what you say." Lu Wei said with a cold face.
Zhang Zuozhen looked like he understood, and sighed in a pretentious manner, "I have really wronged my nephew these years!"
"What's wronging you?" Lu Wei turned around and asked.
Lu Wei's eyes were heavy, as if full of a real sense of oppression. Zhang Zuozhen was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "My eldest niece was born in the countryside and is not literate and doesn't know etiquette..."
"Shut up! Who do you think you are? How dare you humiliate my wife!" Lu Wei suddenly changed his color and said every word.
Zhang Zuozhen was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word anymore, and his face was covered with cold sweat.
"Sister, brother-in-law..." Zhang Yuqian bravely shouted, "My father, he, he also loves you."
Lu Wei said coldly: "Don't worry about it, Lord Cheng!"
Being able to marry Yuqing was the greatest honor in his life, even though it was an accident of fate.If Zhang Zuozhen's family couldn't see the situation clearly and thought that Zhang Yuying would be able to manipulate Fang Qin and Zhang Yuqing as his queen, they would be totally wrong!
Zhang Yuqian lowered his head and rolled his eyes. He was already in love at this moment. How could he pretend to be a couple? "Good nephew, the emperor's destiny is like a mountain. We couldn't do anything back then! Yuying was in great pain because she couldn't marry you." Zhang Zuozhen muttered.
Lu Wei sneered, painful and sad?Go ahead and cheat!He could see all the Zhang family's ecstatic and crazy looks.
Just when Lu Wei was impatient to listen to Zhang Zuozhen's nonsense and was about to turn around and change places, the eunuch who was personally serving the young emperor and several maids came to respectfully invite Lu Wei to the table, saying that the auspicious time had come and the banquet was about to begin.
Lu Wei took one last look at the empty palace corridor, clicked on a small yellow door, and said: "You stay here, wait until my wife comes, come and report to me as soon as possible."
The great eunuch raised his head slightly, glanced at Lu Wei in surprise, and then lowered his head calmly.
In the main hall, the young Queen Mother Zhang Yuying, who was dressed elegantly and resplendently, sat on the throne, and beside her sat the little emperor wearing a bright yellow dragon robe.
Seeing Lu Wei take his seat under the guidance of the chief eunuch, Zhang Yuying raised her wine glass to Lu Wei, who was sitting in the first place on the left, with eyes full of admiration, "I would like to pay a toast to Mr. Lu. If Mr. Lu hadn't led the troops to wipe out Jin Yongxiu's rebels, I would be relieved." After the siege of the capital, this palace and the emperor are in danger!"
Lu Wei did not raise his glass, but cupped his hands and said, "A humble minister is only fulfilling his duty as a minister, so I don't dare to act like one."
Zhang Yuying put down her wine glass, looked at Lu Wei with her beautiful eyes, and said softly: "Master Lu is really a hero in this world, a true hero. I am not mistaken about the person!"
Lu Wei didn't speak anymore. He sat cross-legged in front of the case. There were delicacies from the mountains and seas and fragrant wine in front of him. He didn't even look at it. He was absent-minded and pointed his fingers on his knees. He always felt uneasy and restless, as if there was something wrong. Something big is about to happen.
He was really busy today. The prisoner in Dali Temple committed suicide inexplicably. He was obviously poisoned and died immediately. He could only rush to Dali Temple and let Zhang Yuqing go home to rest first.
He thought he would be able to go back to Fansi Courtyard to see Zhang Yuqing at noon, but he was busy catching the suspect and recording a confession until the afternoon, when someone from the palace invited him to a palace banquet.
Everyone went, but Lu Wei couldn't refuse, so he sent someone to take Zhang Yuqing into the palace.
He carefully recalled the scene when he met Zhang Yuqing today and the conversation between the two, which was unspeakably strange.
Zhang Yuqing looked at him with eyes full of disappointment and anger.
Only when the two meet can they talk about what is in their hearts.
Lu Wei suppressed the panic in his heart. What could be the problem?As soon as the banquet was over, he took Zhang Yuqing back to Liangzhou, which was his and Zhang Yuqing's home.
Lu Wei didn't answer. The beautiful Queen Mother, who had been in her [-]s, couldn't help but look embarrassed. She looked around and saw that those who could attend the emperor's birthday banquet were either princes from all walks of life who came to Beijing to suppress the rebellion, high-ranking feudal officials, or people with great power. An important minister in the court.
None of these people took their orphans and widowed mothers seriously, and none of them truly supported the little emperor.
The leader is weak and the ministers are strong, surrounded by wolves, wars are raging, and rebellions are frequent in various places. She, a widow with her helpless young son, is in this dangerous situation, as if she is being roasted on the fire. It is really pitiful!
Thinking of the situation in front of her, Zhang Yuying looked at Lu Wei with increasingly affectionate and soft eyes, and sighed: "After all these years, you haven't changed at all, you are still the same as before."
The little emperor next to Zhang Yuying had long been impatient with such occasions, squirming and clamoring to go out to play.
"Be obedient!" Zhang Yuying frowned and whispered. This banquet is to thank all the heroes who came to Beijing to serve the king. How could the emperor not be here?
The little emperor was used to pampering himself, so he immediately lost his temper and shouted that he wanted to go out and shoot a slingshot.
The ministers who were close looked at the Queen Mother with half-smiling smiles, "The Emperor is still a child. If he wants to play, let him go out and play for a while. There is no harm in that."
"Childish nature!"
"Weichen still has several children at home, why not send them to the palace to play with the emperor!"
Zhang Yuying could hardly hold back the elegant and dignified expression on her face. All of them were treacherous ministers and traitors. How could there be a trace of respect for the emperor in their words and deeds?Even the emperor has no majesty, so how can she, the queen mother, have any status?
Lu Wei put down the wine glass in his hand, banged it on the table, looked coldly at the noisy little emperor, and shouted: "Sit tight!"
He always had a serious and stern look, and he had developed an iron-blooded aura through his years of leading troops in battles. A stern look in his eyes scared the little emperor to the point where he immediately dared not move, and with tears in his eyes, he dared not speak out in anger.
"Hong'er will only listen to you!" Zhang Yuying smiled at Lu Wei.
Lu Wei still looked stern, "I heard that the emperor likes to play the game of hitting people with a slingshot. He hurts many people. I ask the Queen Mother to strictly control him!"
Zhang Yuying suppressed the unhappiness in her heart. It was just a matter of beating a few slaves. Why should such a big deal have to be mentioned in front of everyone?

Zhang Yuying: Son, how about the new father your mother found for you?
Little Emperor: He looks so fierce!Mom, are you sure you can charm him?

Smoke and dust billowed in the courtyard, and he opened his frightened eyes to see Zhang Yuqing walking towards him from the house, with a cruel smile on his face that frightened him.
