Bian Ruohan was sent back by the palace servants before the hour of Xu. When Lu Heng learned that Eunuch Li from Ci 'an Palace had come, he put on a straw raincoat and a rain hat and personally went to welcome him.
Eunuch Li smiled and bowed to Lu Heng. "Count, this servant greets you. The Empress Dowager specifically ordered this servant to send Madam back. Now that she has safely arrived, this servant has completed his task. "
"You're too kind. It's so late and I still have to trouble Eunuch Li to make a trip. It's really hard on you." Lu Heng smiled and stepped forward. He naturally handed over a brocade pouch that was filled with golden sunflower seeds.
Eunuch Li knew what was inside just by twisting and turning it. He smiled and put it into his arms. His attitude was more attentive and flattering. "How can you say this? This is this servant's duty. Zhong Yibo is too polite."
"What are you talking about? It's so cold. I only invited Eunuch Li to drink wine to warm you up. Does the Empress Dowager have any orders? "
Eunuch Li glanced at Bian Ruohan, who was silent and had his head lowered. He pulled Lu Heng to the side and said in a low voice, "The Empress Dowager was originally in a good mood today. The Empress Dowager is old and loves to see the younger generation live peacefully and happily. Zhong Yibo is a sensible person and should understand. "
When Lu Heng heard this, how could he not understand?
The Empress Dowager was originally in a good mood.
Therefore, Bian Ruohan must have stirred things up.
The Empress Dowager loved to see the younger generation live peacefully and happily. She was tired of the newlyweds causing trouble in the palace.
Therefore, he couldn't keep Bian Ruohan in the capital. He still had to take her with him when he took office. Otherwise, if the Empress Dowager heard about it, it wouldn't be "peacefully and happily".
The Empress Dowager's intention might be Your Majesty's intention. He couldn't ignore it.
Lu Heng was annoyed in his heart, but on the surface, he was very grateful. He thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you for your advice, Eunuch Li."
"Hey, Count Bo is too polite. You are Your Majesty's right-hand man, and the Empress Dowager thinks highly of you. In the future, this servant will have to trouble Count Bo, whether big or small."
Lu Heng had always known that Eunuch Li of Ci 'an Palace was somewhat greedy for petty gains. Hearing this, he naturally understood that Eunuch Li intended to ask him for something in the future. Now, he would say it in advance.
Lu Heng and Eunuch Li exchanged a few more pleasantries before personally escorting them out of the Lu Residence with an umbrella.
After returning to his room, Lu Heng stood beside the bed and looked at Bian Ruohan, who was lying on his side with his back facing him. He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
His voice became gentle. "This time, it's all over the palace. Are you still angry? "
Bian Ruohan suddenly sat up, hugging the blanket. She looked up at Lu Heng with grievance. Her tears fell again. Her voice was hoarse as she said, "I know you dislike me. I, I also know that I was wrong that day. But you always get angry at me because of that slut. I wasn't born to vent your anger for you. You … I already know that I shouldn't have caused trouble, but you still won't let it go. You're not willing to pay attention to me, causing me to be unable to raise my head at home. "
When Bian Ruohan said this, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Lu Heng rubbed the space between his brows. He put on a smile and walked to the bed to sit down. His large hand gently stroked her tear-stained cheeks. "Still crying?"
Bian Ruohan forgot to cry. Her eyes were wide open as she looked at Lu Heng.
This was the first time Lu Heng was so close to her. It was the first time he was willing to take the initiative to touch her skin.
This man was the head of the Lu family, the current dynasty's Zhong Yibo. He was born so handsome. Just like her mother said, she was originally going to marry him to be his second wife. How could she expect this man to be "as pure as ice and as pure as jade"? Moreover …
When a man was in his teens, he had to know the ways of the world. He had slept with many women. No matter how much he cheated, she was still the legitimate Madam Zhong Yibo. No one dared to change this.
In any case, she was also a relative of the imperial family. She wasn't born bad. It was just that she was too arrogant and willful.
Thinking of this, a pair of lotus arms took the initiative to wrap around Lu Heng. Bian Ruohan's cheeks flushed red. "Earl, this concubine knows that she was wrong. In the future, I won't cause trouble like this. I won't go to the palace to talk about our family matters, okay? "
Lu Heng smiled. His large hand reached into her lapel and kneaded. She blushed and whimpered. She took the initiative to offer her red lips, but he inadvertently avoided them.
Your Majesty probably won't give him the right to be willful. Since things had already come to this point and couldn't be changed, he just needed to care about being "harmonious and beautiful".

"Wangfei, it has been raining for four or five days in a row. If it continues like this, won't it delay our journey?" Ji Yun brought a bowl of hot tea to Qin Yining. "Have some hot tea to warm your body."
Qin Yining nodded. When his slightly cold fingers touched the warm teacup, the warmth rushed through his pores, making Qin Yining sigh comfortably.
"It's raining. It's not summer yet, but it feels like autumn. Let's take more warm clothes when we set off. Huichuan County is further north than here."
"I've brought everything for you. It's enough for you to wear on the road. If it's not enough, we can go to Huichuan County to buy some. "
At this moment, Pang Xiao came back.
Zi Yuan and Han Xiao took Pang Xiao's umbrella and put it outside. Ji Yun and Bing Tang also served tea and left.
Qin Yining smiled and said, "Have you discussed everything?"
"Yes. The weather hasn't been good recently. Do you want to wait for the rain to stop before setting off? "Pang Xiao sat down beside Qin Yining, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and took a sip.
Qin Yining shook his head, "Let's follow the original plan and set off the day after tomorrow. If it rains, we'll walk slower. Huichuan County is not far from the capital, so we'll arrive in half a month. "
Pang Xiao nodded. He was reluctant to let her go, but he had to let her go.
The two of them were entangled with each other for two days. During these two days, the rain was still falling. Qin Yining set off. A lot of water had accumulated on the official road outside the city, and the road was very wet.
Qin Yining lifted the curtain of the carriage and said with a smile, "You should go back quickly. We'll see each other soon. Don't worry, with Mr. Xie and so many Jinghu Wei around, I'll be fine. "
In the opposite carriage, Pang Xiao also lifted the curtain and looked at her.
He was still ill, so he naturally couldn't ride out by himself. However, he felt really uncomfortable that he couldn't send Qin Yining off.
"Well, while the time is still good, let's set off quickly. The situation on the road is uncertain in the rain, so don't miss the time to stay." Pang Xiao ordered Tang Xiu, who was accompanying Qin Yining.
"Yes." Tang Xiu responded and turned to give an order.
The carriage slowly set off.
Qin Yining smiled and waved at Pang Xiao.
Pang Xiao also smiled at Qin Yining. He leaned out half of his body and kept staring at Qin Yining. When the carriage gradually disappeared into the distance, he sat up helplessly and ordered, "Let's go back."
Qin Yining's heart was empty when she suddenly parted with Pang Xiao. The two of them were too happy when they were together. When they suddenly separated, they felt that it was too quiet.
However, no matter what she did now, it was for the sake of not being separated from Pang Xiao for the rest of her life. It was just a short separation, so it didn't matter much.
Qin Yining's trip wasn't smooth because it was difficult to travel in the rain, and the wheels often sank into the mud.
"I don't know what's wrong with the weather. Could it be that there's a leak? The rain has been falling for half a month, and it doesn't seem like it's going to stop. We haven't seen the sun for a long time. "
"Yes, they say that spring rain is as precious as oil. However, if there's too much oil, won't the crops be damaged?"
Bing Tang and Ji Yun were very worried.
Ji Yun even said, "Ever since Your Majesty issued a decree to let Wang Ye go to Huichuan County to supervise the construction of the Imperial Mausoleum, the weather has been bad. Could it be that the heavens are also complaining about the injustice for our Wang Ye? "
Qin Yining smiled, "Alright, you're thinking too much. The rain is decided by the heavens. It's not something that humans can interfere with.
”
Bing Tang and Ji Yun didn't think so.
They knew better than anyone else how seriously Your Majesty suppressed Wang Ye and Wang Fei. Wang Ye had done so much for the imperial court, but he was gradually weakened to this extent. Wang Fei could only send her family and children away and fake her death to save her life. His Majesty's actions, not to mention others, even they, the servants, were bitterly disappointed.
It was hard to say if the heavens didn't like the things Your Majesty did and gave a warning.
However, since Qin Yining didn't allow them to say anything, they put away their thoughts and didn't mention this matter.
Just as Qin Yining's inconspicuous convoy slowly approached Huichuan County, in an ordinary person's house in Huichuan County, a man with a medium build, a dark complexion, and a mustache was pacing back and forth in the house with his hands behind his back.
His robes and boots were stained with mud that hadn't dried yet. It was obvious that he had just returned from outside. He had messy footprints on the floor of the house.
"Big Brother, this Zhou family doesn't know how to appreciate our kindness. We brothers have already used our family's skills in front of him, but he still doesn't give us any face," another taller middle-aged man said.
"This Lu family's work is too unreliable," the man pacing in the middle of the house said.
If Qin Yining was here, he would definitely be able to tell that he was Guan Dahu. This was because his hoarse voice was truly unforgettable.
"We bought the county magistrate from the Lu family, but who would have thought that the old emperor would suddenly interfere and give us the title of county magistrate. Our county magistrate is definitely going to be replaced."
"That's right. Wouldn't all our money have gone to waste? "
"That's not a problem. The Lu family has a large business, so they won't go back on their word. However, we have already done everything we could to get the money to buy the official position. The Lu family won't be returning the money in the short term, so it won't be possible for us to buy another official position. We can only take advantage of the time before the new county magistrate and the imperial envoy arrive. "
Speaking to this point, Guan Dahu looked around. Other than Liu Ban, there were four other men in the house. They were all brothers from the Qingtian Alliance who were willing to work with them.
"There are only six of us. That thing is mixed in with a large amount of stone. Although I roughly know where it is, with the strength of the six of us, it is impossible for us to move it. It is harder than ascending to the heavens to steal it without alerting the government. "
