Chapter 530 Lu Zhunning pretends to be stupid
Shen Ruzhou saw that Lu Huaining had lost a lot of weight in just a few days, and felt heartbroken, so he went to the kitchen to cook for him in person.
Lu Huaining swallowed big mouthfuls, obviously very hungry.
At this time, Hong Xi came in, with a cold face, and asked Shen Ruzhou straight to the point: "I just heard from the person who bought the medicine that the regent was imprisoned and the palace was sealed. Do you know?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Huaining, who was drinking soup, choked and coughed violently. Shen Ruzhou patted him on the back, knowing that he could no longer hide it, so he patiently told what happened.
When the Supreme Emperor came to the hospital, Miaodong was busy giving medicine to the patient and didn't even notice.
The Supreme Emperor went straight to the backyard.
As soon as he stepped into the backyard, the sound of arguments inside could be heard.
"Sister, don't stop me, I'm going to save Master." After speaking, Lu Huaining rushed out of the room with a sword.
Shen Ruzhou hurriedly chased him out, grabbed him, and advised him earnestly: "Don't be impulsive. If you go now, you are seeking death."
"I'm not afraid of death." Lu Huaining looked like he was not afraid of anything. He shook off Shen Ruzhou and turned around to face the intimidating gaze of the Supreme Emperor. He was immediately stunned on the spot.
Shen Ruzhou also saw the Supreme Emperor and said hurriedly: "The Supreme Emperor, please help me persuade Huaining. He, he is going to rob the prison to save the regent."
Shen Ruzhou was so anxious that tears came out.
The Supreme Emperor stepped forward and snatched the sword from Lu Huaining's hand, pointed at his nose and cursed, "No brain! At this time, I don't want to help your master clear his grievances, but act impulsively here. Your master usually teaches like this." Is this yours?"
Lu Huaining lowered his head and muttered, "How to clear the grievances?"
The Supreme Emperor said: "Anyone who is imprisoned for any crime will be freed from the crime."
Hearing this, Lu Huaining looked like he suddenly understood, and then turned to ask Shen Ruzhou, "Sister, for what crime is Master sent to prison?"
When he asked this question, the Supreme Emperor was completely speechless. He stretched out his finger to poke his head, "It seems that you are really stupid! You don't know anything and you dare to rob the prison?!"
The always good-tempered Emperor now felt extremely angry when he looked at Lu Huaining, and there was no trace of his usual calm and loving appearance.
He even felt that he could not understand his hatred by just scolding Lu Huaining, and even scolded Beixiu Yan together.
"What does the regent teach you on a daily basis? How could he raise an impulsive and brainless apprentice like you if he is so smart and wise..."
Lu Huaining was scolded terribly, but due to the identity of the other party, he did not dare to refute, so he could only bear it with his head down.
When the Supreme Emperor was done venting, Shen Ruzhou stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Your Majesty, the regent is busy with government affairs on weekdays. He has no time to take care of his apprentices. Huaining was raised by the servants of the house. He has no sense of propriety in his words and actions. Don't argue with him."
The Supreme Emperor sighed helplessly, changed the subject, and began to ask about Lu Huaining's life experience, "Who are your parents? And how did you get to the Regent's Palace?"
"I have no father or mother. I have been begging on the streets as long as I can remember. Later, my master took pity on me and took me into the palace." Lu Huaining said these past events in an ordinary way, but they were like a sharp knife inserted into the emperor's heart. In his heart, he couldn't help but feel sad when he thought about how his grandson was framed just after he was born, and how much suffering he suffered living on the streets.
The Supreme Emperor sat down on the chair in the courtyard, took Lu Huaining's hand and said warmly: "You are not young anymore, but have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future? What kind of person will you become?"
Shen Ruzhou heard what he didn't say clearly, and she was secretly frightened. From testing articles to asking questions about life aspirations, the Supreme Emperor was considering whether Lu Huaining could be worthy of the important task of heir apparent at every step.
When Lu Huaining saw that the Supreme Emperor's expression was much kinder, he laughed heartlessly, squatted in front of him, and began to talk about his plans for the future.
"I don't have any big ambitions. I just want to have enough food and clothing, and then marry a wife and have a lot of children."
As soon as the words came out, the Supreme Emperor's hand touching Lu Huaining was obviously paused, and disappointment flashed in his eyes. After a long time, he seemed to have convinced himself to accept this fact. He smiled and touched Lu Huaining's head, "This is good. Being able to live a stable life is a blessing that not many people can envy."
The Supreme Emperor left without staying any longer, but Shen Ruzhou couldn't help it anymore and started laughing, holding his stomach.
Next to him, Lu Huaining looked depressed and said dissatisfied: "Sister, why do you want me to pretend to be stupid in front of the Supreme Emperor? You also caused Master to be scolded as well."
"Are you pretending? It looks real to me." Hong Xi walked out of the room with a look on his face, folded his arms and leaned against the pillar in the corridor, with a bit of contempt in his eyes.
Lu Huaining was furious and shouted, "That's because I'm good at acting, otherwise I wouldn't be able to deceive the Emperor."
Seeing that they were arguing again, Shen Ruzhou hurriedly advised: "This is all the regent's idea. He has his own plans. Just follow his orders."
Shen Ruzhou recalled the meeting with Beixiu Yan yesterday. As soon as she mentioned Lu Huaining's affairs, Bei Xiuyan analyzed that the Supreme Emperor had discovered Huaining's identity, but Huaining was his legitimate son after all. If he wanted to recognize him, he had to do so according to the rules. For the crown prince.
Therefore, in order to see whether Huaining can take on this important task, the Supreme Emperor would definitely test him, so the two finally discussed and decided to let Lu Huaining pretend to be ignorant, impulsive and brainless, so that the Supreme Emperor would naturally not take Huaining back. Palace.
As soon as the affairs in the medical clinic were over, Shen Ruzhou went back to the general's mansion. As soon as he entered the door, he heard that his brother broke the family rules by going to a brothel and was punished by his father to kneel in the ancestral hall.
Shen Ruzhou came to the ancestral hall and saw Shen Chumu sitting on his knees and being lazy, so he coughed like his father.
"cough."
Inside, Shen Chumu heard the sound and hurriedly knelt straight, lowering his head and waiting to be scolded.
But after waiting for a long time, there was no sound from his father. When he turned around and saw it was Shen Ruzhou, he became furious, grabbed the cotton mat on the ground and threw it over.
Shen Ruzhou raised his hand to take it, walked into the ancestral hall with a smile, and said in a teasing tone, "Father's temper is much better now. Instead of beating him with a stick, he kneels as a punishment."
Shen Chumu said angrily: "That's because my father knew that I couldn't help myself, otherwise he wouldn't have spared me lightly."
"I couldn't help it? Is it possible that my brother was forced to go to the brothel?" Shen Ruzhou continued to tease, guessing that Princess Changqing was curious about what the brothel was like and asked her brother to take her there.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Shen Chumu helplessly say: "Princess Changqing insisted on going, so I had to let her go in disguised as a man. We didn't do much, just listened to music and watched the singing and dancing."
After saying that, Shen Chumu let out a long sigh and continued: "This Princess Changqing is curious about everything. She wishes she could do all the things that are against the rules. She is very deviant."
Shen Ruzhou calmly listened to his brother's complaints and consoled him: "Princess Xu is usually very strictly disciplined, and her life is too restrictive. She finally came to our place, so she has to look around."
"Alas!" Shen Chumu sighed again, "It's just a pain for me. I was punished by my father to kneel all night."
"Who told you to be discovered so accidentally?"
"I've been careful enough. Who knew I would meet my second uncle in the brothel, and he would go to my father to complain as soon as he came back."
"Second uncle? You can only blame your own bad luck." Shen Ruzhou said and shook his head.
She walked closer to Shen Chumu, patted his shoulder and said, "I'm going back to the house first. I'll have someone bring you a thick cloak later. It's cold at night, so don't freeze."
Shen Chumu nodded gratefully, and seeing the tired look on Shen Ruzhou's face, he urged her to go back and rest.
