In the history of Beiyan, there has never been a case where the current emperor passed the throne to a new emperor while he was still alive. Is the old emperor trying to set a precedent?

The old emperor ignored everyone's obstruction and said: "This is the decision I made after careful consideration. The prince is young and capable. It is right for him to work more on state affairs. I can also enjoy my old age. There is no need to get up so early every day to come to court."

Courtiers: ...I haven’t seen you get up early many times in the past few years!

Prince: ...Suddenly I felt that the throne was not favourable.

"Your Majesty..."

The courtiers wanted to persuade again. Although they also felt that it was useless whether the old emperor was in office or not, they still had to do superficial work. The most important thing is that the prince is not as easy to fool as the old emperor, and life will be difficult for them when he comes to power in the future.

The old emperor was already impatient and raised his hand to interrupt them: "No need to say any more, I have made up my mind to choose a good and auspicious day for the prince to ascend the throne. From now on, you will assist the new emperor well and don't always It's just to cause trouble for him. Okay, if you have nothing to do, just leave the court."

After the old emperor finished speaking, he turned and left. The old eunuch behind him quickly announced that he was withdrawing from the court. The ministers knelt down and saluted. He left so gracefully.

So, when the old emperor went to court for the last time, he did one thing and tried his best to protect that naughty kid of the Lu family?

Everyone was filled with hatred. Even if the Lu family rose so quickly, they could still be favored by the old emperor. Isn't this a treacherous minister?

By the way, isn’t He Jiuniang very skilled in medicine? Maybe she put something shady in the old emperor's medicine, which caused the old emperor to become obsessed with a ghost.

Thinking of this, a few naive people hurried forward to talk to the prince, asking the prince to pay more attention and not to be plotted by the Lu family.

The prince looked at them as if they were fools, but ignored them and turned around and left.

Could this group of people have forgotten that Lu Baichuan has been his person from the beginning, and his relationship is much better than theirs.

This morning, the courtiers were criticized by the old emperor and were scorned by the prince. They were really disappointed. When they went back, they were not talking and laughing like before, and they went away. Everyone, hurry back and find your staff to discuss what to do next.

Although they really dislike the Lu family, they are now prosperous, and they still have to make friends with those who should be friends. They didn't have the opportunity before, but now they can take advantage of the child.

Although the one who was beaten was not his own child, who cares so much, as long as it is a legitimate reason.

　What, both the Lu family are not at home, and there is no one in the house who can take charge of the family?

Who cares, anyway, just give the gift and leave. When the couple goes back, they will be embarrassed to return it. When they meet again, it is not just that they are short-handed. Do you have to greet me with a smile?

It seemed that most people thought so, so within one day, the General's Mansion was packed with people, and the gates were never closed. They were all for giving gifts.

Of course, it’s not a formal gift, it’s just a visit by someone in the family to show their appreciation.

The servants in the mansion didn’t know what to do with these gifts and hurriedly reported them to Lu Baichuan. Only then did Lu Baichuan know that his son had been bullied in the Imperial College.

However, the old emperor did protect the dog very well, and the prince was about to ascend the throne. It was best not to cause any trouble during this period. Lu Baichuan planned to endure the bad breath first and look for him later. Opportunity to take it back.

“Since it was sent to you, accept it, and prepare some similar gifts in return to let those people know that we are not ignorant of etiquette.”

Reply Gifts can be regarded as a clear statement of attitude. The Lu family understands etiquette and does not covet the gifts given by those people. It is just a process that comes and goes.

“Reply openly, the more people who know, the better.”

At the end, he made another confession.

"Yes, Third Master."

The servant immediately went to prepare, not daring to delay Lu Baichuan's work here.

Lu Baichuan now lives directly over the Tianlao. With him in charge, no one from Dongting came, but the atmosphere among the jailers was very strange.

However, Lu Baichuan is not in a hurry. Some people are interesting only if they are caught slowly, and the longer the time goes by, the more restless the people behind them will be. It will be good to follow the clues and learn from them.

At this time, Mu Guogong’s mansion also knew what happened in the court. The old emperor did two things in the court, announcing his abdication and protecting the Lu family. What an honor it was, so Yan’s Changed my mind instantly.

Previously, she felt that He Jiuniang was a scourge and must be eliminated quickly. After all, He Jiuniang's existence was the greatest shame to her father-in-law.

But I didn’t expect that the Lu family would be so favored now that the old emperor would personally come out to maintain it, and they would definitely be able to move up to a higher level in the future.

But the Duke’s Mansion is different. It has been going downhill these years. Not long ago, the Duke even beat people to death, and was even arrested and squatted for a few days. She was a woman. He went to the house of someone he had known well all day long, gave gifts and begged for mercy, and then he was saved.

Now life is guaranteedAlthough he lived there, his reputation has also plummeted. He is not even allowed to go to court anymore. He has been in a state of confinement recently. In just a few months, the Duke's mansion has changed drastically. Even the despicable servants in the family have begun to It’s time to wait and see.

Ms. Yan can't stand this kind of life. She still wants to be the kind of noble lady she used to be, the kind who hugged her before going out and had everything she wanted prepared and delivered to her in advance.

With the current situation of the Duke’s Palace, there is no way it can defeat the Lu family. It is better to take the initiative to show kindness and recognize the daughter, and the Duke’s Palace will be able to return to its peak, even better than its peak. There are rows of noodles.

So, Mrs. Yan went to the Duke Zhuo Wei to express her thoughts.

Zhuo Wei's expression changed when he heard this: "No! You want to bring that bastard back to disgust my father-in-law, right? Wouldn't it make people laugh at that? Do you still think that my father-in-law is disgusting? Isn't it miserable enough now?"

The existence of that bastard was a lifelong shame for him. He should have drowned in the water back then, but out of the kindness of Mrs. Yan's wife, she actually spared her life.

If not, there wouldn’t be so much trouble now.

"Master, what are you thinking about? Only we know that she is a bastard, how can outsiders know? What's more, that bastard has a good life, and the family she married into is now being The emperor and the prince value it, if we get married to that bastard, won't we worry about not having a good life?"

Mrs. Yan patiently persuaded her, feeling that her method was very good.

But Zhuo Wei is still a little reluctant. After all, it involves his dignity as a man. If the truth is exposed in the future, what face will he have to go out to meet people?

Mrs. Yan continued to say warmly: "Master, are you willing to live like this forever? On the surface, you are still the Duke of the country, but look at what our house is like now? Those things People don’t take us seriously anymore? It doesn’t matter to me, my concubine, but I just feel sorry for the Duke of the country who has to suffer like this..."
