C6 Accompanied by the Emperor

Lu Yuanxi knew that the imperial decree was inviolable. This was just the beginning.

“Yuanxi, I have already ordered people to prepare a carriage. Since His Majesty has ordered you to study in the palace, we, the officials, cannot disobey the imperial decree.”

Lu Yuanxi was silent for a while. Then she suddenly looked up at Lu Hongwen.

“Father, do you mean to say ‘If the king wants the minister to die, the minister must die’?”

Lu Hongwen was stunned.

When had he ever said such words in front of Lu Yuanxi?

Lu Hongwen squatted down and looked at Lu Yuanxi. He said, “Yuanxi, you have to know that the king is the king and we are the ministers.”

“If you are so great that you can overthrow the king, you will only die,” Lu Yuanxi looked at Lu Hongwen and asked.

Lu Hongwen moved his lips and wanted to say something, but he ended up sighing.

“Yuanxi, you are still too young. You will understand some things when you grow up.”

Lu Yuanxi slowly lowered her eyes.

“This child will take his leave.”

Then Lu Yuanxi walked out of the hall and prepared to enter the palace.

Lu Hongwen looked at Lu Yuanxi’s back with a complicated look in his eyes.

No matter what, he did not regret picking this child up. However, after this child woke up, he felt that something had changed.

Lu Yuanxi sat in the carriage and did not say a word on the way to the palace.

Since he had decided to protect the Northguard House, he would not back off.

Even if he was misunderstood by everyone in the world, as long as he could protect the Northguard House, he would not hesitate!

Lu Yuanxi got off the carriage and saw a large group of people standing at the gate. The person standing in front was a small figure.

Leng Mantou.

A name appeared in Lu Yuanxi’s mind.

After Leng Mantou went to ask Emperor Cang Ji for an imperial edict, he waited outside the palace. No matter how the inner court tried to persuade him, Leng Mantou just stood there and didn’t move.

It wasn’t until the carriage of the Zhenbei Marquis appeared outside the palace that Leng Mantou’s expression finally eased up.

Although he knew that Lu Yuanxi knew how to endure humiliation, he was afraid that Lu Yuanxi would refuse Emperor Cang Ji’s imperial edict because she hadn’t recovered yet.

But now, Lu Yuanxi was still the same Lu Yuanxi.

Lu Yuanxi walked forward and bowed, “Greetings, Your Highness.”

“No need for formalities.”

Leng Mantou, who had been unmoving and unwilling to speak, finally opened his mouth.

In Lu Yuanxi’s impression, Leng Mantou was always the one who spoke little. Not only that, he was fierce and violent when he grew up. In his previous life, he didn’t even have a maid when he was 26.

“Lu Bi.”

Leng Mantou called him.

Lu Yuanxi was stunned, “What orders does Your Highness have?”

Leng Mantou frowned slightly and said, “I… My surname is Leng, and my name is Mo. My name is Mantou.”

Lu Yuanxi was a little confused.

Everyone knew Leng Mantou’s name. Why did he need to explain it to him?

Although she was confused, Lu Yuanxi still introduced herself politely, “My name is Lu Yuanxi.”

Leng Manxiu looked at him and didn’t say anything.

Lu Yuanxi didn’t know what she did wrong, but Leng Manxiu didn’t seem to be in a good mood.

“Let’s go.”

Leng Manxiu turned around and left first.

Lu Yuanxi followed behind him and guessed Leng Manxiu’s intention.

He called her ‘Your Highness’, so Leng Manxiu introduced herself. Did he want her to be too polite?

Was Leng Manxiu that awkward when she was young?
