"Lord Li, congratulations on your successful return."

Lord Huang of Nanhai county came from behind with a smile on his face, but when he saw Li Rushu's women's dress, his smile stopped for a moment. Then he said, "Your Excellency has been going to sea hard. Please go to the post house to change clothes. These thieves will give it to me."

Li Rushu nodded and saw that many fishermen around were competing to come to see it, but they were blocked outside by the government soldiers brought by Lord Huang. He said, "I have intercepted a lot of jewelry and silver, and there are also some seafood on the pirate ship. These are obtained from robbing the fishing boat on weekdays. Give half to the local fishermen, and the rest of Lord Huang will help watch it, and return to Chang'an to recover their lives the next day."

"OK, that's natural." The other side knew more about Nanhai County than she did. As soon as she heard this, she answered and quickly ordered people to get on board and share their property with the surrounding fishermen.

When the sea overlord was exterminated, the fishermen clapped their hands. Although they couldn't come forward from a distance, many people recognized Li Rusu. After all, she always dressed up as a chivalrous woman recently and distributed fish, shrimp and seafood to them when she came back from sea, so she had long been regarded as a great philanthropist. Today, I saw that she was an official sent by the imperial court to clean up pirates. They said they were grateful to the emperor, Several fishermen who had been robbed by pirates also shed tears. The scene was very touching.

Seeing that the crowd gathered more and more, Lord Huang asked the government soldiers to take the carriage nearby and escort Lu Li Li and Li Rusu back to the post house.

Since Lu Li arrived at Nanhai County, in order to hide his identity, he didn't report to the post house, but asked people to find an inn nearby. After dealing with the things on the beach, they returned to the gate of the post house.

The post Cheng had already led people to wait at the door. As soon as the carriage stopped, he brought people to meet him, knelt down respectfully and said, "post Cheng of Nanhai County, see your highness six."

Lu Li asked him to get up, casually asked about the local situation, and soon packed up his things and went back to Chang'an with Li Rusu.

The way back was very smooth. Li Rusu changed his men's clothes and rode in the same car with Lu Li. There was little room for the carriage. Their bodies met from time to time when they shook slightly. No one spoke. The atmosphere was a little strange.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Li Rushu closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. Lu Li looked up at her face. From time to time, her appearance in women's clothes came out of her mind, and her heart always throbbed inexplicably.

His lips opened several times and he wanted to ask something, but he never asked. When Li Rusu heard the air around him tight and loose, he knew that he seemed to have something to say. He guessed what he wanted to ask. He simply didn't give him a chance to speak. On the way, he said he was in a panic when he bumped in the car and asked the bodyguard to bring a horse and sit on it himself.

After a few days' journey, the gate of Chang'an appeared in front of us. Lu Li asked people to report to the palace, and then went into the palace to see his father.

When he learned that the pirates in Nanhai county had been exterminated, he also brought a lot of jewelry. The emperor rarely showed infinite satisfaction with him and did not hesitate to praise him. Even Li Rusu, who stood beside him, felt that the emperor's attitude was obviously too gentle this time.

After staying in the palace for half a day, Lu Li came out. Then a reward was sent to his house. Three thousand liang of gold was taken to a different hospital. Li Rusu was also given some jewelry.

It was the first time for Lu Li to receive such a generous reward from the emperor, so the news soon spread to all the princes. When the officials talked privately, they also looked more complicated.

Lu Li left some eyes and ears when he left Beijing. Now these people also began to report the news during this period. It was nothing more than that the princes would lose face when they heard that he had been ordered to destroy the pirates. They were shocked to learn that he had won and returned. They also gathered together to discuss it. It seemed that they had a sense of crisis in their heart and tried to make him a stumbling block. He laughed at it.

In order to reward the meritorious minister, Li rusut was exempted from the morning Dynasty for a few days and rested in the house. She was really tired. She only let people pay attention to the movements of several princes and didn't go to see Lu Li in person. However, two days later, Liu Quan told her that Lu Li was invited into the palace by the empress.

In Changchun palace, Lu Li was waiting at the gate of Chunyang palace. When he learned that the empress was invited, he had a bad hunch. When he was a child, the mother was not good to him, but because of his body shape, he only gave his subordinates a lot of hardships. He had not called him in private in recent years. He just came back from Nanhai county and told him to enter the palace. It's not a good thing.

"Empress, please."

Father Fu's thin and long voice sounded at the door of the temple. He came to Lu Li, bowed slightly and said, "Your Highness, please."

Lu Li went in calmly. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled a strong smell of aloes. Then he saw a woman in a dark red robe sitting on the top. He lowered his eyes and said, "my son, see my mother."

The queen looked coldly. Her heart moved. She looked carefully at the once insignificant prince. The other party had grown into a teenager. Not only her eyes were bright, but also her appearance showed extraordinary elegance. When facing him, she no longer flinched, but was neither humble nor arrogant. Standing in the hall, she had a calm temperament.

Her eyes were cold, she slowed down her look, and her voice was as soft as water. When she let him sit down, she said with a smile: "sit away from her son. The empress learned that the wind in the South China Sea is cold. She's afraid you can't stand it. She called you into the palace to have a look. She's relieved to know that you're okay... It's hard for you these days."

She then looked at Lu Li's eyes. She seemed to want to see some deep meaning from his calm eyes, but she didn't see anything for a long time. The other party was still sitting like a mountain.

"I thank my mother for her care and work for the imperial court. I don't dare to say bitter." Lu Li leaned slightly on his seat and arched back.

Looking at him like this, the queen somehow became more and more depressed. She had long heard that he had performed meritorious deeds many times. Recently, the emperor talked about him more and more. Every time she said it, her eyes were softer than before, which made her have to be vigilant. She was not good to this son. The son must have a grudge in her heart, but she dared not do it because of her identity, What if he becomes a talent in the future, becomes powerful and can't control himself?

"My son is not young, so it's time to mention the matter of getting a wife." The Queen's eyes became softer and softer. She sat on the imperial concubine's chair and tried to keep her manners noble and elegant. She smiled and said, "I don't know if there is a favorite candidate in the heart of her son. At that time, the mother will find a suitable opportunity to talk to your father and emperor and give you marriage advice."

It turned out that it was this. Lu Li frowned slightly. He soon guessed her intention and said coldly, "empress Xie is worried. My son wants to put his mind on contributing to the imperial court. He doesn't want to get married for the time being."
