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

After a moment, he suddenly raised his head, stared at the palace man, his eyes filled with ferocious blood-red color, and said to the palace man every word: "Your Majesty, did you really say that?"

"Yes, His Highness King Yu."

The palace man said calmly.

King Yu was silent.

After a while, he raised his head slightly and looked at the palace man, without any expression on his face.

"Sir, take the lead!"

There was a hint of heaviness in his voice.

When the palace attendant heard this, he nodded slightly, then directly placed the imperial edict on the table aside and turned around to leave.

click...

The moment the palace man's figure completely disappeared from the corridor outside, veins suddenly popped out in King Yu's remaining left hand, and his knuckles made a crisp sound.

The brocade quilt that he grabbed with force broke open in an instant, and streams of precious flocculent spiritual silk continued to flow out from the breach. In just two breaths, it covered the entire bed, making King Yu's whole body tremble. It's like bathing in clouds.

"Haha... She is indeed my king's good niece. She is indeed a 'wise and mighty' one!"

In the floating catkins that filled the sky, King Yu's sneer of suppressed extreme anger slowly sounded out.

While talking to himself, he suddenly raised his head and looked out the window at the dark rainy night.

Boom! !

Suddenly a dazzling thunder flashed in the distant sky, illuminating the entire Yuzhou land extremely brightly.

At that moment, it was like daylight.

At the same time, the moment the lightning flashed, King Yu's already extremely pale complexion took on a sickly gloomy look against the background of the lightning.

Whoa whoa whoa!

The sound of rain outside suddenly became louder, and the downpour once again enveloped the entire Yuzhou City.

Bang!

The golden edict was thrown out like rubbish and hit a stone pillar not far away.

"Where is the Xuanhuang of Heaven and Earth?!"

Amidst the rumbling rain, King Yu's angry shout suddenly sounded.

Swish!

Following a few imperceptible soft sounds, four figures in well-dressed clothes instantly appeared in front of the bed, bowing slightly to King Yu.

"What are your orders from the lord?"

King Yu endured the severe pain in his body and slowly stood up. Looking at the four worship masters in front of him who he had conquered at a huge cost, he said coldly: "Help me kill a few people."

"Who does the prince want to kill?"

King Yu smiled coldly.

"The one who deserves to be killed."

As he spoke, he suddenly waved to the side.

The next second, a pretty maid came over carrying a tray containing several scrolls.

"Here is the information about those people. You must kill all the people on the list, and then... use some means..."

While speaking, there was obvious hatred on his face.

He was already in his prime but had not yet shown his age, but now he was showing signs of malaise. His face was covered with various criss-crossing lines, and he was almost completely different from before.

Apparently, after Lu Chen's sword injured Dao Ji, his spiritual power leaked out and he could no longer maintain his dignity.

But even so, the unique nobility of the royal family still permeated the surroundings. The arrogance and domineering look on his face was much less, but there was more viciousness and madness.

And just when King Yu was preparing for some action.

State Yamen, inside the extremely spacious Zhizhou public house.

The messenger from the palace walked in slowly.

Her expression was not as cold as that of the palace official who went to Prince Yu's palace to convey the order, but with a gentle smile, as if she was afraid of offending the nobleman who was about to convey the order.

Even the movement of walking is very light.

However, she had just entered the door and had not taken two steps when a beautiful figure suddenly appeared beside her.

"Governor Lu has taken a rest."

But it was Fu Hua who had been accompanying Lu Chen.

The palace man's face was slightly startled, and then he quickly came back to his senses, looked at Fu Hua, and said softly:

"Commander Fu, please go and tell Mr. Lu."

Fu Hua shook his head: "Governor Lu has been busy with official duties in the past few days, with almost no rest. Even now, it was because he couldn't hold on when he was dealing with official duties, so he lost consciousness unknowingly. Now he can finally He has to take this moment of rest, and I can’t let him be disturbed no matter what.”

Upon hearing this, a look of admiration suddenly flashed in the palace man's eyes.

But she soon became in trouble.

"But...Commander Fu, this is an imperial edict..."

"If Your Majesty blames you, I will take full responsibility for it." Fu Huan said calmly: "Anyway, I won't embarrass you."

The palace man thought about it again and again, and finally nodded.

After letting the palace attendants go down to have a rest, Fu Hua turned around and came to Lu Chen, who was sleeping soundly on the table.

But they saw that most of Lu Chen's face was buried in the official document at this time, and he was still holding a brush tightly in his hand. His face was full of depression, and his thick dark circles were very conspicuous, and he looked like he might die at any time. , which is heart-wrenching to watch.

Seeing Lu Chen's exhausted look, Fu Huan recalled in her mind that Lu Chen braved the heavy rain to go to eight nearby villages to observe the people's situation. After returning after dark, he went to interrogate Liao Ji and some of the captured traitors. , and finally buried his head in piles of official documents until he lost consciousness due to extreme exhaustion.

In the cold eyes, a complex color flashed inexplicably.

"Ugh…"

She deftly took off the aura cloak behind her that had the effect of being warm in winter and cool in summer, walked up to Lu Chen, and covered his shoulders with skillful movements.

Her actions at this time looked like a good wife and mother, skillful and natural.

"It would be great if you showed up earlier..."

She couldn't help but sigh softly when she thought of everything Lu Chen had done for the people of Yuzhou and how he tried every means to bring them back to the world from hell.

She thought about the tragic situation of her parents who starved to death in front of her when she was a child in Xia country and lived in a small and unknown county.

She couldn't help but think, if Lu Chen had been their county magistrate at that time, wouldn't her parents have died tragically?

Unfortunately, this thinking is ultimately meaningless.

After all, things have happened and the facts cannot be changed.

Overthinking is useless.

As soon as she thought about this, she shook her head, then suddenly raised her hand and slowly stretched it towards Lu Chen's temple.

The next second, a surge of extremely pure spiritual power suddenly surged out of her hand. In a seven-star formation formed in the blink of an eye, it quickly rushed towards Lu Chen's mind.

With the influx of this extremely pure spiritual power, Lu Chen's tired complexion quickly recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and gradually became as rosy as before.

But her own face became paler.

Obviously, this technique that allows Lu Chen to recover quickly is a huge burden even for an expert like her.

It is not a technique that everyone can use.

During this period of time, Lu Chen had been working at an extremely high intensity, and even his iron-clad body couldn't bear it. If it had been anyone else, he would have died suddenly.

The reason why Lu Chen can survive until now is all due to Fu Hua's silent dedication.

Except for Fu Hua, not even Lu Chen himself knew about this matter.

If he had known about this, I don't know if he would have thanked Fu Hua's eighteen generations of ancestors on the spot.

His face darkened.

It wasn't until the malaise on Lu Chen's face completely disappeared that Fu Hua, who looked tired, slowly retracted her hand.

Then, she raised her hand and wiped the sweat from her face. Then she took a deep look at Lu Chen, stood up, and walked to the side to meditate.

The peaceful night passed just like that.

Early the next morning, Lu Chen was in a daze when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely anxious voice came:

"Mr. Governor, what's wrong, Liao Ji...Liao Ji... committed suicide out of fear of crime!!!"

Chapter 97 The Reality of Master and Apprentice (4K is here, please support!)

Yuzhou prison.

Lu Chen couldn't help but look at the corpses of Liao Ji, who was bleeding from all his orifices, dead but extremely peaceful, and the corpses of his accomplices who had finally been caught.

Then his eyes suddenly condensed and he looked at Yuzhou Zhizhou Zhao Ping and the official Yuanwu.

"Suicide in fear of crime?"

Yuanwu bowed slightly, and then responded in a muffled voice: "Yes, Lord Governor, I have carefully confirmed my position several times, and basically ruled out the possibility of homicide."

Lu Chen stared at him.

"Where did the poison come from? How did it get into their stomachs?"

Yuanwu squinted his eyes, and said with a rather contemptuous movement: "I don't know about my humble position, but it is probably that they were carrying poison when they were caught by you, sir. Seeing that there was no hope of escape, and knowing that they would die, they took the poison and committed suicide."

"Ah……"

Lu Chen smiled coldly.

"When they were imprisoned, you prison officers didn't search them?"

"We searched, but they hid the drugs in such a concealed manner that it was difficult to detect."

With that said, Yuan Wu bowed again, and while lowering his head, a look of disdain flashed across his face.
