Chapter 31

Testing

Lu Yanchen avoided Ye Qinghuai's gaze and said: "Wang Lisong has been serving as a memorial wine maker for the literary school for twenty years. The liberal arts school was run concurrently by the imperial court and was inextricably linked to the imperial court. The whole world was filled with celebratory wine sacrifices.

, it is not unthinkable that his disciples are involved in these cases all over the government and the public."

Ye Qinghuai still looked at him without speaking, as if waiting for him to say something.

However, Lu Yanchen just put Song Zhe's portrait in his sleeve and said, "I will ask someone to find this person."

"Ask someone to look for it?" Ye Qinghuai narrowed her eyes, and she keenly caught Lu Yanchen's words.

"Your Majesty, I am here today and I have a petition to present to Your Majesty."

Lu Yanchen stood up from the desk, knelt down in front of Ye Qinghuai, took out a booklet from his arms and raised it above his head.

Ye Qinghuai frowned slightly.

Lu Yanchen's appearance at this moment was exactly the same as when he forced her to abdicate in the hall in her previous life, which could not help but bring back memories of her past.

"Sir, what are you doing? Why do you need to give me such a big gift?"

Lu Yanchen knelt still and did not answer.

Ye Qinghuai knew that he was stubborn, so she didn't ask any more questions. She stood up and walked to him, picked up the booklet and started reading.

After scanning a few lines in a hurry, she was stunned.

This petition seemed unfamiliar to her, so Lu Yanchen wrote on the note that he wanted to go back to his hometown, and that he wanted to go back to Yunzhou and take three months' leave.

She also saw a similar book in her previous life.

But she was very dependent on Lu Yanchen at that time, so she rejected his petition. Lu Yanchen then said that his father died of illness and he wanted Ding You to return home. Dajing governed the country with benevolence and filial piety as the first priority, so Ye Qinghuai had no choice but to agree to him

After petitioning, he retained his official position and allowed him to return to his hometown Dingyou.

Now that he saw this booklet again, Ye Qinghuai became suspicious.

If Lu Yanchen really wanted to return home to Ding You, he wouldn't have covered it up like this and just invited him directly in the book. What's more, she only asked Lu Yanchen a few years ago, and Lu Yanchen's father didn't have the slightest idea at that time.

The signs of illness, in Lu Yanchen's words, are "can be called healthy."

So, Ye Qinghuai tried to test it: "What if I don't agree?"

Lu Yanchen was obviously very surprised. His hands hanging by his sides clenched the corners of his clothes unconsciously, as if he was struggling in his mind, thinking about how to answer Ye Qinghuai's words.

Seeing his hesitation, Ye Qinghuai decided to push him, and said: "Now that the six departments are in turmoil and major cases are happening frequently, I am in need of people around me. I cannot do without you at this time. If you want to take leave and return to your hometown, you can't do it without me."

Times are bad, so it’s okay to wait a little later.”

Sure enough, Lu Yanchen immediately reported: "Your Majesty, there is a letter from home saying that my father has suddenly become seriously ill, and I... have to go back to my hometown. I hope your Majesty will accept the report."

As soon as he said these words, Ye Qinghuai almost confirmed his guess.

Lu Yanchen's real purpose was to return to Yunzhou, not Ding You. Ding You just moved out out of desperation as an excuse because he didn't expect that Ye Qinghuai would not approve his three-month vacation.

Ye Qinghuai looked at Lu Yanchen who was kneeling in front of him, knowing that he had made up his mind and there was nothing he could say to keep him.

But another doubt popped up in Ye Qinghuai's mind.

According to Ye Qinghuai's previous speculation, Lu Yanchen was most likely the person who attempted to rescue Wang Lisong from prison, but now that Ye Qinghuai had exposed Song Zhe, Lu Yanchen was actually indifferent and insisted on taking leave. It was really strange.

Doesn't he care about Wang Lisong?

Ye Qinghuai immediately denied this idea in his heart.

Lu Yanchen has a stubborn temper. If the sacrificial wine is important to him enough to rob the Heavenly Prison, then if he fails to rob the prison once, he will never give up and there will be a second time.

The second time...

For a moment, a thought flashed through Ye Qinghuai's mind. Perhaps even returning to Yunzhou was just an excuse for him, and all he really needed was time.

Ye Qinghuai decided to test him again.

"Sir is my teacher, and your father is like my elder. Your father is seriously ill, and I am very worried. In this way, I ordered the imperial physician Zhou Shouyi to go to Yunzhou with my husband, and we will set off today." After saying this, Ye Qing

The gesture of Huai Ti pen means drafting the purpose.

"Your Majesty, how can my father, who is a businessman, work so hard for the imperial doctor?" Lu Yanchen's voice sounded a bit panicked.

"Common people all know that once a teacher is always a father. What's more, I am the emperor. I have already said that my husband's father is like my elder. It is the duty of the imperial doctor to treat my elders."

As he spoke, Ye Qinghuai wrote furiously and wrote the imperial edict.

"Your Majesty, my father is seriously ill and I'm afraid he only has a few days to go..."

"Sir, be careful what you say!" Ye Qinghuai interrupted him, his eyes blazing as he said, "This is extremely unfilial."

Lu Yanchen suddenly raised his head and met Ye Qinghuai's cold eyes, which were like an ice knife, piercing his lies.

Ye Qinghuai put down his pen and asked slowly: "I'll ask sir again, is your father okay?"

Lu Yanchen lowered his eyes, remained silent for a long time, and replied: "It's good."

"When the noble man is still alive, he talks about Ding You, where is the meaning of filial piety and brotherhood?"

Lu Yanchen fell into silence.

Seeing that he remained silent, Ye Qinghuai closed his fold, walked back to the table and sat down. She looked at Lu Yanchen with a calm expression and asked, "I know that you are suffering unspeakably, and I don't blame you. But.

Sir, maybe you can tell me why you are returning to Yunzhou at this time?"

Lu Yanchen raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes full of worry. Finally he said: "Some things, not knowing is a blessing."

Seeing that he refused to speak frankly, Ye Qinghuai sighed, somewhat disappointed and said: "Sir, I can trust you. But what about you? Can you trust me?"

Lu Yanchen seemed to want to defend something under Ye Qinghuai's questioning, but in the end he didn't say anything. He moved his eyes away and looked at the pot of Wenshan Qiuxiang placed in the corner of the desk.

Ye Qinghuai still looked at him. After a while, she asked calmly: "Sir, when you take leave this time, are you going to Jie Tian Prison again?"
