Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 393 Changes in the Palace
Here, as soon as Zhao Ying left, the emperor dispatched the Imperial Forest Army to search the mansions of all officials above the second rank in the capital, with the momentum of digging three feet to find the tiger talisman.And Prince Lu's Mansion is on the search list.

King Lu didn't care about this matter at all. Although he was greedy for power, he always kept it within the emperor's tolerance. He would not do such stupid things as stealing tiger charms.

He sat leisurely on the grand teacher's chair and sipped the tea brought from Lingnan, watching the Imperial Forest Army shuttle through the mansion with a peaceful expression.Today, the emperor gave the order to search. In order to prevent the thieves from transferring the tiger talisman, the Imperial Forest Army deliberately dispatched at the same time. At this time, the mansions of all officials above the second rank in the capital may be like this scene.

"I don't know what kind of heart and leopard that man ate. He dared to go to the general's mansion to steal the tiger talisman. Tell me, my lord, what is this?" Deputy General Zhang of the Imperial Forest Army accompanied King Lu, nodding and bowing, with a flattering expression on his face. smile.

Although he came to search Prince Lu's mansion under the emperor's order, but the person in front of him is a prince. If something goes wrong with him, the position of Deputy General Zhang may not last long, so he has been by King Lu's side and carefully served him. He also specially ordered the people under him to move slowly, for fear that something would make King Lu unhappy.

King Lu didn't care much about this, he even hoped that the Imperial Forest Army would search all over his mansion, so that the emperor would feel more at ease about himself.

"If Vice General Zhang has news about that person, he must tell this king immediately. This king is also very curious about who can do such a thing." It's so stupid!

King Lu did not say the second half of the sentence. To be an official, especially a high-ranking official, you must have ambitions, but this ambition should not be too big. If it is not well controlled, it will cause the emperor's suspicion, and the end will be terrible. So, ah, After so many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, Lord Lu felt more and more that he was doing well, and there was a bit of pride on his face that couldn't be concealed.

So when he saw the soldiers handing over the tiger talisman to Adjutant Zhang, King Lu didn't even realize what was going on for a while. Seeing that the flattering smile on Adjutant Zhang's face disappeared, he put on a serious expression. The smug look on Lu Wang's face gradually froze.

"It seems that I don't need to tell the prince about that person." Adjutant Zhang glanced at King Lu coldly, he waved his hand, and the soldiers surrounded him.

"What does Adjutant Zhang mean by this? I don't know why this tiger talisman appeared in my mansion. Where did I find it?" King Lu turned pale with shock, the blood on his face faded completely, and even his voice froze. All trembling slightly.

Adjutant Zhang glanced at the soldier who presented the tiger talisman.The soldier whispered: "The tiger amulet is hidden in the hidden compartment behind the shelf in the study, and there is also a forged Jade Seal of Chuanguo in it."

The soldier raised the jade seal in his hands while talking.

King Lu was completely stunned, and suddenly his eyes widened and he said angrily: "This is impossible! Someone must have framed this king! I want to see the emperor! I want to see the emperor!"

Adjutant Zhang sneered and said: "This is not up to the prince, come and take it away!"

Prince Lu wanted to resist, but all the imperial guards were strong men over seven feet tall, so he had no such strength, so he was escorted to the clan mansion in a short while.

In a corner that no one noticed, Princess Lu's beautiful eyes flashed a bit of coldness, but more of it was the joy of getting revenge.She looked at the soldier who was staying in the field to supervise Prince Lu's mansion. It was the one who presented the tiger talisman and jade seal just now. The soldier turned his head with a red face, and Concubine Lu showed a charming smile.

In the main hall, the emperor looked at King Lu who was crying and lying on the ground with a gloomy face, his eyes were dark and inexplicable.When Adjutant Zhang presented the tiger talisman and jade seal, he still couldn't believe that his brother did it.

In his eyes, although King Lu is greedy for power, he is more greedy for the sensual life brought about by power, which is still within his tolerance range, and it is precisely because of this that he has always been at ease with King Lu Connivance, but he didn't expect King Lu to have such courage!
"Brother, listen to my explanation! I really don't know what's going on. Someone must have set me up! You must make the decision for me!" King Lu knelt down and wept, and he kowtowed to the emperor again and again. He must be very angry in his heart. The most important thing at this time is to let the emperor calm down first. It is important to keep his head, and make plans for the rest later.

Although King Lu had some calculations in his mind, there was a constant cold sweat on his forehead. Although he didn't know who designed him behind his back, he could tell that the person definitely wanted him to die without a place to bury him.

This is both a tiger talisman and a jade seal, but even ten of his heads are not enough for the emperor to cut off.

"The jade seal and the tiger talisman are both in your mansion, and they are still in the secret compartment. Now that the stolen goods have been stolen, how do you want me to trust you?" The emperor couldn't seem to calm down, his tone was very calm, but there was a bit of weirdness in his eyes. .

When King Lu saw this, his heart sank. If the emperor was angry, there would be a turning point in this matter, but the emperor's behavior at this time, I am afraid that he has already launched a murderous plan. He really knows his brother, and he can only face the dying person. The emperor didn't have any extra emotions, some only had killing intent down to the bone.

"Brother, trust me! I have followed you for so many years, and I have never had any wrong thoughts, and I have no reason to rebel!" King Lu almost became a sieve, his face was anxious, and his eyes were full of pleading , hoping to make the emperor care about a little bit of brotherhood.

The emperor sneered when he heard this, with bursts of coldness in his eyes.

"Don't you have that reason?"

King Lu's breath stopped when he heard the words, and he instantly understood what the emperor meant.Before the emperor ascended the throne, both of them were princes, and they both had the opportunity to become the great treasure. If so, why couldn't it be me?To be honest, King Lu did have such an idea, but since the emperor took the throne, he completely stopped this idea. He is a person who understands current affairs and will never do any risky things.

Seeing that King Lu was silent, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of the emperor's mouth.

"You have followed me for many years, and I know that your ability is not bad, but you just hid it to save your life. Don't you really have a trace of dissatisfaction in your heart all these years?"

The emperor's eyes suddenly looked far away, as if he remembered the days before he ascended the throne.

King Lu was in a daze when he heard the words. After all these years, he could no longer distinguish his true thoughts.

"Come here, take King Lu into the clan's mansion for strict supervision, and wait for his punishment." The expression on the emperor's face became cold again, and he looked at King Lu indifferently, which made King Lu's heart chill for a while.
