Chen and Zhong hurriedly let them aside. Lu Fan got on the carriage. Chen and Zhong got on the same carriage. Lu Runxing got on the horse and was accompanied by the carriage. The rest of the officials followed behind him, either riding or taking a carriage to the palace. The road was covered with people wearing maroons, and there was silence wherever the carriage passed.

Lu Xiong sat on the horse and stared at the carriage not far away. His eyes seemed to be about to spit out fire. From the moment Lu Fang got off the boat, he was looking for an opportunity to come forward to pull out Chen Liniang, a beautiful snake that poisoned the central palace. But Lu Fang got off the boat and got into the carriage. In front of so many people, he couldn't go up and do it directly. When he thought of this, Lu Xiong felt that his chest was burning, as if it was about to swell.

Lu Fang stood in front of the ice coffin. Due to the ice cubes around the body, a layer of mist floated over Lu Shuxian's body. Lu Fang looked at the woman lying quietly in the coffin. She fell in love with him when he was the most humble and distressed. In the past few decades, he became the master of the entire south. If anyone played the greatest role in it, it was the woman lying in the coffin. But now, seeing that the great cause was about to be accomplished, she left alone. Thinking of this, Lu Fang felt a heart-wrenching pain.

"You all go out, let me be alone here." Lu Fang turned his back to everyone and whispered that everyone quietly left the hall. The last person carefully covered the door and waited until everyone left the room. After Lu Fang suddenly knelt in front of his wife's coffin and started crying silently.

After about half a cup of tea, Lu Fang's crying gradually stopped. After a period of emotional venting, he felt much better. Lu Fang wiped the tears from his face and stood up. Suddenly he felt that there was another person's breathing in the hall that should have been empty. Lu Fang instinctively pulled out his waist knife, turned around and shouted coldly: "Who is here?"

"It's Your Majesty." Lu Xiong walked out from behind the curtain beside him and saw that it was not someone else, so he breathed a sigh of relief. While he was still scabbard, he asked, "It turned out to be you. Didn't I just say that everyone was going out?"

"Please forgive me for your crimes." Lu Xiong bowed his head and said, "I have a major event that I have to report to Your Majesty alone, so--"

"Okay, get up, just say something if you have something to do." Lu Fang was already a little impatient and stopped Lu Xiong's words. At this time, he was very tired and just wanted to send Lu Xiong away earlier and go back to rest. But with Lu Xiong's words, Lu Fang's face quickly became solemn

"All what you said just now is true?"

"There is no false words," Lu Xiong said in a deep voice: "The yamen runners and doctor Wu are now in our mansion, and eunuchs and palace maids can also be recruited. Your Majesty will know the truth or falsehood when you ask."

Lu Fang was speechless for a while, his face turned black as if it was the sky outside. Lu Xiong didn't urge him, but just stood aside without saying a word, waiting silently for the last time, Lu Fang quickly walked out of the hall.

Outside the hall, more than ten people including Chen Liniang, Zhong Yuancui, Fan Nissen were waiting quietly, suddenly the door of the hall was pushed open, and Lu Fang walked out of the inside and everyone was about to come forward to greet him, but they heard Lu Fang say in a deep voice: "You all retreat, Liniang, you have a female cloud official there, let her come to see me immediately."

"Yes" Chen Liniang responded in surprise. She didn't know that Lu Fang would see the female official Yun as soon as she came back. Although the female official Yun was pretty and well-behaved, and was also outstanding in the palace, based on her understanding of her husband, Lu Fang was definitely not the kind of lustful person who was busy looking for beautiful women when his wife had just passed away and was busy looking for beautiful women. At this time, Lu Xiong also walked out of the hall. Seeing that the other party did not leave the hall as Lu Fang had just ordered, Chen Liniang couldn't help but be stunned. I don't know if it was an illusion, but she felt a deep hatred in Lu Xiong's eyes.

Ma Xuanhua, Chonghua, walked quietly. A middle-aged servant was following behind seven or eight steps behind her, looking bored, three months ago, just when the Hunan civil war was at its worst, her father Ma Yin suddenly became seriously ill. Although a doctor was sent to the palace and prescribed a prescription, Ma Yin refused to drink or eat, but closed his eyes and waited for death. After dying on the couch for several days, Ma Yin held Ma Xuanhua's hand and whispered: "I will not die for one day, and the palace will not be relieved for a day, but will implicate you. After leaving, I will clean up after I die, you must forget that you are my Ma Yin's daughter. Find a good person to marry and live a life of life. Don't have any other thoughts, do you know?"

"The boy understands" At that time, Ma Xuanhua was already crying like rain, holding his father's hand tightly, as if he could pull his father's life like this, but the words just now had exhausted Ma Yin's last energy. When he saw his daughter agreed to him, he fulfilled his last thoughts. He relaxed his palm and left Ma Xuanhua to call him thousands of times. As expected, just as Ma Yin expected, after his death, his surveillance of Ma Xuanhua immediately relaxed a lot, especially after the Hunan civil war was pacified. Not only did the surveillance be much less, but he could also go out to the office to see the last wind every month. Compared with the days like prisoners in the past, life is nothing like heaven, but losing his father who depended on him, Ma Xuanhua lived alone in this prison city.

"Miss Hu, Madam Hu" A woman ran over quickly, shouting in anger that the servant who was monitoring Ma Xuanhua turned around, looked at the companion and the woman pulled him aside in confusion, and repeatedly said, "What a big thing happened, but a big thing happened."

"A big deal?" The Hu family's wife asked in confusion: "Didn't the palace die a few days ago? What else can happen?"

"Ah, do you know about Empress Shen? She was sent to the cold palace and locked up in the yard next to the landlord."

"What? What you are talking about is the Empress Shen next to the King of Wu? How is that possible? After the death of the central palace, wasn't she going to become the queen? Why were she brought to us?"

"It's not her that there is anyone else. The one in charge there is the sisters in my clan. She told me in person, where is there any fake?" The woman looked at the left and right and lowered her voice and said, "I heard that Empress Shen had something to do with the death of the Central Palace a few days ago, so she was locked up here."

"Amitabha, I have also met Empress Shen. She was born like a Bodhisattva, and she looked so happy. How could she do such a thing?" The woman in Hu opened her eyes in surprise, with an expression of disbelief on her face. Her companion flattened her mouth disdainfully and said, "I know people but not my heart. Her face looks good. She looks so cute. She thinks that if you harm the Central Palace, she will be the prince of the current dynasty, and her son will be rich and powerful. How can you do such a business?"

The two women were wary of Ma Xuanhua at the beginning. When they were proud, they forgot everything. Ma Xuanhua, who was beside him, heard the words of Ma Xuanhua, who looked like a silly appearance on the surface, had already turned upside down. She grew up in the palace of the Chu King. She was naturally the sudden death of Lu Shuxian, who was not as good as those of women. Shen Liniang was thrown into the cold palace. This was a huge change in the palace. Moreover, this kind of internal struggle often involves the power changes of the foreign court. What a huge impact this would have on the entire upper power structure of Lu Wu. It is not difficult to imagine. At this time, Ma Xuanhua remembered the words that his father said before his death: "After death, you must forget that you are my Ma Yin's daughter. Find a good person to marry and live a life. Don't have any other thoughts?" Thinking of this, she couldn't help but hesitate.

At this time, the two women had finished talking. Seeing Ma Xuanhua standing there blankly, thinking, the woman surnamed Hu snorted coldly and said, "Miss, you have finished shopping today. If you finish, please go back. It's not too late. Some family will go back to cook for the man."

Suddenly, the words pulled Ma Xuanhua out of her fantasy. She nodded and walked towards her residence, while mocking herself in her heart: "You are obviously just a prisoner. Even this rough woman can call you around. Even if there is a real change in the senior management of Lu Wu, can you, a weak woman, turn over?"

The east of the city of Jianye, Chongdefang is only two streets away from the palace. All the high-ranking officials of the Wu Kingdom lived here. It was already late at this time. Because Lu Shuxian had just passed away, a curfew was imposed in the city, prohibiting banquets and entertainment. The lights were extinguished early, and only the night birds flying over the sky made loud noises.

There was only one candle in the room. With the help of the faint candlelight, I could only vaguely see a tall man sitting on Hu's bed. His face was blurred in the shadows. The man sat on Hu's bed motionless. It was not difficult to guess from the heavy breathing that he was very nervous at this moment, as if he was waiting for something important news. Suddenly, two slight knocks came from outside the door. The man moved his body, as if he was about to stand up, and then sat down slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Come in"

With the slight friction, the door was opened. A man in black came in and knelt in a low voice, whispering: "Report to the husband, news from the palace has come, the matter has been done."

"Yes," the man in the shadow nodded and asked, "So, Empress Shen has been driven out of the palace city and sent to Chonghuafang?"

"It's" the man kneeling on the ground replied in a low voice, waiting for the other party's further orders, but as time passed, the room was still silent, and finally he could no longer hold back his temper and looked up and said, "You have to send a message to the person in the palace."

The man in the shadow immediately refused

"No?"

"Yes, you don't have to do anything. At this critical moment, the more you do, the more you make mistakes. The best thing is to do nothing. You don't have to do anything after you go back, and don't come to me. Do you understand?" The man in the shadow's tone was firm and very determined. Obviously, he had a firm opinion.

"Yes" Although the man knelt on the ground, he didn't know the intention of the Lord, he still kowtowed respectfully and stepped out. At this time, only the man on Hu's bed was left in the house. Suddenly, the man stood up suddenly, walked to the window and looked up at the sky, and said coldly: "Lu Fang, look, I'm not a person who can eat and live a life of old age." The moonlight shone on his face, and he saw that his beard was wide, which was Zhong Yangui.
