Chapter 1063 The Wind and Rain Have Finally Arrived!

ld have laughed at us.""Don't worry, Village Head. My mother said that as educated people, we must understand propriety."“Yeah, my father said I wanted to eat rabbit, so he went hunting after work. Bu...UH Lu Feng felt a mix of heartache and amusement, forcing himself to lower his head and endure. He quickly walked to the dark door in the corner of the room and knocked twice.

Soon, a physician came out, took out silver needles, and skillfully inserted them into Lu Cong's body...

When the imperial physicians arrived at the palace, they conducted a routine examination of his injuries. They wore grim expressions and were mentally cursing under their breath.

This Prince Lu is so unlucky, getting kicked by a horse in such a crucial spot is bad enough, how come his injury is so stubborn

It's been several days, and it still shows no signs of improvement. It's still swollen like an eggplant.

We're done with this!

The main lineage of the Lu family is about to be extinct.

Though he thought otherwise, he dared not say it aloud. He smiled and comforted him, "The young master's recovery is still possible. As long as he rests quietly, takes his medicine well, he will definitely get better."

Lu Cong seemed to be greatly struck, weakly waving his hands, and instructed, “Doctor, you don’t have to come every day. I understand my own illness. Just let me rest quietly!”

The imperial physician chuckled, neither refusing nor agreeing.

He wouldn't want to run here every day, would he It's not that he doesn't want to, it's just the emperor's command.

Tonight, I get to go home and embrace my beautiful wife. It's time to treat my eyes to something lovely!

It's no secret that both Lu Zhong and Li Jia are racking their brains, trying to figure out who was behind the beating of Chen Shilang and his men.

But it has to be said that the effect was excellent, and no one dared to target the Li family again.

Actually, if not pushed to the brink, no one would do this.

After all, there have been lessons learned in the past!

For the sake of survival, for weathering any storm, one must try no matter what.

Even if it means trying and dying……

That evening, Jia Yin received the message.

She was sitting on the rooftop with Mu Xu, eating snacks and fruit, gazing at the not-so-round moon.

Mu Xu still felt indignant when she spoke of this, sighing, "The situation doesn't allow it now. Otherwise, if we had a few more days to prepare, we would make them regret being born in this world."

Jia Yin stuffed him with a piece of jerky. He felt touched and amused at the same time.

She was in the palace, unaware of anything. Back home, they had fought such a beautiful battle.

And those four big dogs really helped out.

Next time you're home, be sure to get them some delicious food.

"Is tomorrow the grand assembly"

"Indeed," Mu Xu nodded in understanding, his voice also carrying a hint of depth. "After tomorrow, the storm will finally pass."

Jia Yin wasn't so optimistic, "Not necessarily, but let's see as we go. Meet force with force, and water with earth."

"Yes, enjoy the good things in front of you. We'll talk about the future later." Mu Xu stretched lazily and then took Jia Yin's soft little hand.

Jia Yin lightly returned the grip, a slight curl to her lips, but she said nothing.

A warm wind blew through every corner of the palace, having seen too much scheming, darkness, and anxiety. It was a rare treat to have a bite of dog food here, so it quietly wandered around nearby, unwilling to leave...

When the eastern sky begins to show a hint of white, officials of rank five or higher in the capital will start bustling out their doors.

He washed and dressed, changing into his court robes. He even managed to sneak in a couple of bites of snacks during the gaps, but he dared not drink any tea.

After all, the Emperor was speaking, and civil and military officials were present. Who would dare to ask for leave to go to the toilet at this time They would probably be dragged away by the eunuchs in charge of ceremonies with gritted teeth. Afterward, they would become infamous in the new capital and be labeled as "officials who defecate and urinate before others," a disgrace that would shame them beyond repair...

As the sun had only just risen halfway above the horizon, the palace was soon filled with carriages arriving one after another.

Civil and military officials gathered together, whispering greetings to one another.

After several impeachment cleanups, people had become somewhat numb to the events and speculated who would be unlucky enough to fall today.

Occasionally, someone would turn their head to see Li Lao'er walking over and quickly bow in greeting, "Oh, Master, aren't you feeling unwell recently How come you came today"

Lao Er smiled and replied, "After a few days of recuperation, my body is feeling better. Besides, today is the grand court assembly. No matter what, I should come to listen to the imperial decree and see if there's anything useful."

Several people beside him also laughed and agreed, “Indeed, Grandpa is right. Grandpa is so loyal, and he enjoys the Emperor's favor to such a high degree. We are all incredibly envious.”

Li Lao'er didn't care whether the words were sincere or sarcastic, he took them all as praise.

Someone inquired, "Master Bo, do you know who is unlucky today You haven't been here these past few days, so you probably don't know. Half the court officials are gone, it's truly unsettling."

“Oh, is that so” Li Laer pretended to be surprised and replied, “Logically speaking, the emperor’s punishments are always based on solid evidence. That means there must be too many people who have disappointed the imperial grace. As for what will happen today, I don’t know. Let’s just wait for the emperor’s decree!”

Having said that, he waved to Liu Zhiheng in the distance and then smiled as he bid farewell to the crowd, rushing over.

Someone saw him walk away and couldn't help but sneer, "This man is useless, but he's smooth-talking. He has never revealed any useful information from his mouth."

A bystander whispered, "Just let it be. The Li family isn't bad. As long as you don't provoke him, he won't take the initiative to attack anyone. In times like these, everyone is on edge, so it's best to be cautious."

In the distance, Lao Er Li met Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng. They looked at the tightly closed palace gates, exchanging glances that spoke volumes of their heavy hearts.

Soon, the palace gate was opened and people thronged through.

Upon entering the grand hall, Li Lao'er glanced around and found that there were indeed many empty seats, just as his colleague had said earlier.

Luckily, there were many courtiers present at today's court meeting, so it wasn't that noticeable.

While lost in thought, three whip cracks echoed through the air, causing everyone to hastily kneel on the ground.

The Emperor walked out from the back hall, donned in his yellow dragon robe. While it looked just as usual compared to every other day, for some reason, it seemed imbued with a few extra points of majesty, even… joy.

When everyone shouted "Long live!" and stood up again to look around, they all had this feeling.

Li Lao'er and Tong Wen Mr. quickly exchanged glances, then both lowered their heads.

No need to doubt it, today is the day!

As expected, at the beginning of the court meeting, several high-ranking officials stood up and earnestly persuaded the emperor that for the sake of the Tianwu Dynasty's foundation and the well-being of the people, he must prioritize righteousness over familial ties!

A group of over ten people spoke with impassioned conviction, their arguments clear and compelling, pushing the emperor to the brink.

At this moment, even Lord Dingbei stood up.

Everyone assumed he would speak up for the Empress Dowager, after all, who in court didn't know she had brought him up

During his time in Jiangbei, he held the power of the military and his influence was overwhelming.

Fortunately, he arrived in Jiangnan and was deprived of his power by the Marquis of Xiting. He ended up relegated to guarding the city gate…

Behind closed doors, countless people likely feel a sense of relief.

Even these days, many people are waiting for him to have bad luck.

I didn't expect him to stand up for his master at this time, he's quite loyal!

As a result, Dingbei Hou spoke up, "Your Majesty, I wish to accuse the Empress Dowager of colluding with barbarians to invade Tianwu! Furthermore, the Empress Dowager conspired with outsiders to establish Yaochi, using Fuhong ointment to poison Tianwu's talented individuals, intending to control the government and overthrow the imperial rule."

In the main hall, a deathly silence reigned for a while, then it erupted like water splashed into a hot oil pan.

"What's going on"

"The Marquis of Dingbei has rebelled"

"Did I hear that correctly"

Everyone was surprised by Ding Beihou's active betrayal, and they didn't really care about the charges he made.d chuckled, coaxed into laughter. There wasn't a wisp of smoke in the teapot, yet he savored it, taking slow puffs for a long while.This reminded JiaYin that she planted two rows of flue-cured tobacco...
