C23 Your Imperial Eminence

Lady Liu also continued to cry in anticipation. "It's all my fault that mother has been too indulgent towards you, leading to such a disaster. It's all Mother's fault … It's Mother that's not good! "

Seeing Lady Liu crying so miserably, Lou Ruolan definitely wouldn't miss this chance to mock Hot Wind. She continued, "How can we blame Mother?" Elder sister is the one who isn't sensible, and is also the one who can go to the Longsong Palace? She's obviously an abandoned wife who was abandoned before she even passed the door, and she really thinks of herself as the Crown Prince's consort! "

A voice drifted over. Lou Zhiwei didn't say anything. She only lowered her head. No one could see the expression on her face.

Seeing her like this, Lady Liu could not help but sob, "Zhiwei, don't be sad. There are so many outstanding men in the world and you are the direct daughter of the house of the Marquis. Mother will definitely find a good wife for you."

"That's right. There are so many good men in the world, but big sister is a woman who has been abandoned by the royal family. If even the royal family doesn't want her, who would dare to?" Hehe, your elder sister is truly pitiful. Originally, everyone was envious of the marriage, but in the end, it all came to nothing! " Lou Ruolan sneered.

A hint of displeasure flashed in Lady Liu's eyes when she saw how Lou Ruolan was so tactless with her words. However, when she thought about it again, the situation had already come to a conclusion. There was no need for her to be so careful.

She raised her head to look at Lou Zhiwei, her expression one of utter agony.

"My daughter, you've just experienced such a turn of events. You must be feeling terrible right? Why don't I leave Mo Jing with you and go have some fun? "

"Yes, since big sister is already like this, why don't you go out for a walk? Otherwise, you might stay home and listen to others' gossip and feel uncomfortable. Hur Hur."

Lou Zhiwei raised her eyebrows and continued to act ignorant. "Really? I also think it's boring to stay at home all the time. But where should I go? "

Lady Liu fiddled with the silk handkerchief in her hand and tilted her head to think for a moment.

"At the outskirts of the city, there is a temple. The scenery there is picturesque, the land is sparsely populated, and the air is also very fresh. "Since mom is going to pray for your dad, why don't you come with me?" She spoke with a serious expression, as if nothing was amiss.

Hearing that, Lou Zhiwei smiled.

A temple? He really couldn't wait to kick her out.

They wanted her to become a nun so that she could have the position of the eldest daughter. That was a good plan.

"But …" I don't like temples, so bored. " There was hesitation on Lou Zhiwei's face.

"Elder sister, how can you say that? Going to the temple isn't to play, but to pray for father's blessings. How can I not like it?"

"That's right. Your father is fighting for the Western Sky. As his family, we should do something for him."

Lou Zhiwei sneered in her heart. If she really went, she wouldn't be able to come back!

"If that's the case, then sister will also go along, right?" She looked at Lou Ruo Lan, her beautiful eyes flashing with a hunter's cold light.

If you don't enter the tiger's lair, how can you get the tiger's lair? Even if you enter the tiger's lair, I still have ten thousand ways to kill you!

At this moment, the attendant walked in with a string of people.

The leader held a jade veil and a golden silk cloth in his hand. It was obvious that the imperial edict had arrived.

Lou Zhiwei silently wiped away the tears that had not appeared at the corner of her eyes and said softly, "I'll have to disappoint you two. I'm afraid I won't be able to go to this temple."

The others had also noticed Zhao Yu approaching them, especially the dazzling imperial edict. It was exceptionally eye-catching in his hand.

Lady Liu quickly tidied herself up and greeted him with a smile. She pretended to know nothing as she asked, "Eunuch Zhao, what brings you here?"

Zhao Yu was one of the people who served at Qin Wentian's side, and from his appearance, it could be seen how much importance he held in regards to this matter.

He looked at Lady Liu with a puzzled expression and asked, "What? Miss Lou came back first. Did she not inform you?"

Lou Ruolan snuggled up to Zhao Yu and quietly placed a gold ingot on her palm. "Elder sister just came back. She's still in shock and doesn't know what to say. We're in a hurry, so we don't know what's going on. Please give us some pointers."

Zhao Yu calmly weighed the gold in his hand, then silently put it into his sleeve without saying a word.

Lou Zhiwei understood what he meant just by looking at his actions. It was obviously impossible to use a single gold ingot to deal with such a big reward like Mount Xiang. But she was poor, and it was impossible for her to take the money.

Thus, the atmosphere fell into silence for a moment.

Lou Zhiwei thought about it and realized that she couldn't do anything about it anymore. Embarrassed, she took two steps forward and said softly, "Eunuch, since the imperial edict is for me, why don't you give it to me as a personal edict? Please take the Scepter Pavilion away …"

Before he could finish his words, he heard a sharp voice from behind him, "How can that be? It might even be the emperor's reward. Big sister won't even let us touch this bit of light, right?"

With these words, Lady Liu walked up to Zhao Yu with a bright smile on her face. Without saying anything, she put a gold ingot into Zhao Yu's hand and said, "Thank you for the trouble, Eunuch."

Zhao Yu jolted before saying loudly, "The imperial edict has arrived. Lou Zhiwei shall obey!"

Lou Zhiwei didn't say anything else. She immediately kneeled down, neither servile nor overbearing. No one could see the faint smile on her face.

Lady Liu also knelt down with Lou Ruolan's support. The two of them looked at each other and saw pleasure in each other's eyes.

"The emperor decreed that General Zhenyuan's direct daughter, Lou Zhiwei, should be born with a pure heart and a foresight that made her think that her virtue would be difficult to match with that of Crown Prince Zhuo Jinshu. Thus, she took the initiative and asked for the marriage annulment to be annulled. The Emperor's kindness is great, and on account of his friendship, he has bestowed upon one of the other courtyards of the Mausoleum of Xiang Feng a hundred pieces of brocade, and a hundred pieces of gold.

After saying that, Lady Liu and her daughter's faces became deathly pale.

It was neither a punishment nor a suspension, it was actually a reward! What had happened in the Longsong Palace?

However, Lou Zhiwei, who should have been overjoyed, was not in a good mood.

She really looked down on the emperor, this old fox. Was she not worthy of Zhuo Jinshu? F * ck his dad, he actually played word games with her, she should have spat out the dog emperor with a mouthful of salt water!

"Lou Zhiwei, why aren't you accepting the decree?" Zhao Yu asked her with a high-pitched voice.

Lou Zhiwei secretly gritted her teeth.

"Thank you, my lord!" She lowered her face and accepted the imperial edict with a face devoid of sadness or joy. "Eunuch Zhao, Zhiwei has something else to say. May I trouble you to tell the crown prince."

Zhao Yu frowned and said, "Miss Lou, please forgive us for speaking bluntly. It was you who voluntarily drew a clear line between yourself and His Highness. If we were to continue pestering him, I'm afraid people will look down on us."

His words were filled with contempt.

"Eunuch Zhao is right. I hope that eunuch can tell the crown prince that from today onwards, meeting him is a foreign path. Do not get entangled with him ever again."

Lou Zigui received the decree and stood up. He glanced at the Liu family's mother and daughter kneeling on the ground, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
