Chapter 69: Seeing each other without words and face

"Uncle Cheng?" Lu Yu's eyes widened in shock, "Do you think Uncle Cheng is still alive?"

After the Mawei Slope Incident, Lu Yu did not hear the news about Cheng Yuanzhen, and thought he had died that day.

"Yes, Lord Cheng is still alive." Luo Miao nodded, "Since the Supreme Emperor returned to the capital, he has been by the Supreme Emperor's side and has hardly left Xingqing Palace."

"Then I'll go immediately!" Lu Yu turned around and wanted to leave.

But as soon as he took a step, he stopped again, turned around and asked Luo Miao, "Brother, did you ask me to find the Supreme Emperor? Do you want him to ask for a decree?"

Luo Miao nodded: "That's right! Although the Supreme Emperor is now in the throne, it still has some influence in the court. Many old ministers obey the emperor on the surface, but in fact they still follow the Supreme Emperor. If you can invite a decree from him, then I will have another insurance when I meet the emperor this time."

"Okay! I will definitely invite this order for my elder brother!" Lu Yu said with a patted his chest.

"Then I'll have a hard time!" Luo Miao bowed to Lu Yu, "We're going to set off immediately. If we go late, maybe something will happen again! So after I invite the imperial edict, I have to trouble Lord Cheng to go directly to the Daming Palace to announce the edict!"

"Okay! Then I'll leave first!" Lu Yu bowed to Luo Miao, turned over and jumped on the horse that his servant had just led, and ran out of the mansion.

Xingqing Palace is located in the east of Chang'an, and it was the residence of the Emperor when he was the crown prince. After all, Lu Yu lived in Chang'an for a while, so he was quite familiar with this city. Within a cup of tea, he arrived near Xingqing Palace.

If it were Daming Palace, it would have been long since the distance was such a distance. However, there were no guards near Xingqing Palace, so naturally no one would come to dismount.

It was not until the front of the main gate of Xingqing Palace that Lu Yu saw the guards of the imperial guards, but they were only in groups of three or three, and they all looked listless, and they did not look at the slightest power that the imperial guards should have.

Seeing Lu Yu approaching, a soldier came forward with his gun and said lazily: "Stop! What are you doing?"

Lu Yu knew that being arrogant is much more effective than being polite to deal with people like them, so he just strangled the horse and did not jump off the horse's back.

"Do you know who I am?" Lu Yu stared at him and said viciously, "Hurry up and report to Lord Cheng Yuanzhen Cheng! It was Ji Ni who came to find him! I want your head if it delays the big thing!"

When he was frightened by this, the imperial guard guarding the gate suddenly became a little timid.

"Okay! You, you, wait!" He shouted with a stern look on his face, then turned around and ran into the palace gate.

Not long after, the palace gate was pulled open from the inside. The soldier who walked out first, followed by the thin Cheng Yuanzhen.

Looking at the person he hadn't seen in the past two years, Lu Yu felt that he seemed to have been ten years old. His originally dark temples were now covered with silver threads, and his spine was not as straight as before, but slightly hunched. Looking at his face, he saw that his cheekbones were towering and his eye sockets were sunken, as if he was sick.

"Uncle Cheng, why did you become like this?" Lu Yu's eyes were filled with tears, but in front of the imperial guards, he could only hold these words in his heart.

Seeing Lu Yu from afar, Cheng Yuanzhen's eyes also shone with water. Then he waved to both sides: "You all retreat temporarily! I have something to say to this young master!"

"Yes!" The more than ten soldiers responded in unison, then turned to the left and left in line.

After they walked away, Cheng Yuanzhen slowly walked towards Lu Yu and finally stopped five steps away from Lu Yu.

"Yu'er!" He shouted these two words, and Cheng Yuanzhen's tears fell from the corner of his eyes, "I'm sorry for you!"

As he said that, he bent his legs and knelt in front of Lu Yu's horse.

"Uncle Cheng!" Lu Yu screamed and jumped off the horse, reaching out to pull Cheng Yuanzhen, "What are you doing?"

"It's all my fault! It's all my fault!" Cheng Yuanzhen said regretfully, "If I could see Li Fuguo's ambition as soon as possible, I wouldn't let you fall into his conspiracy. In this way, you wouldn't have suffered those pains and almost died! It's all my fault! Even if I tied me back then, I would have to leave you in Jiangnan!"

"Uncle Cheng!" Lu Yu shook Cheng Yuanzhen's shoulder and interrupted him, "I will settle the score with Li Fuguo one day when you are talking about this! But what does this have to do with you? You are sorry for yourself because you blame yourself for your hard work!"

"Yu'er!" Cheng Yuan looked at Lu Yu with tears in his eyes, "Don't you blame me?"

"I blame you!" Lu Yu wiped the tears from his cheeks, "I blame you for not giving me any news in the past two years. I thought you, I thought you, I thought you..." As he said that, tears could not help but spill in Lu Yu's eyes.

"I have no face to see you!" Cheng Yuanzhen said sadly, "Master Zhiji, Princess Ningguo died. When I think of the pain you have suffered, how can I still have the face to write to you!"

Looking at Cheng Yuanzhen crying in front of him, Lu Yu suddenly felt an urge to hug him and cry.

But thinking of Luo Miao's entrustment, he quickly stopped the sad voice, helped Cheng Yuanzhen stand up, and said seriously: "Uncle Cheng! I'm here for serious business this time!"

So Lu Yu told Cheng Yuanzhen the whole story of Luo Miao's request for the imperial edict. However, in order to avoid Cheng Yuanzhen being too concerned, he did not mention what he had heard before. Li Fuguo and others wanted to support Luo Miao as the emperor, but only talked about the matter that Luo Miao received the imperial edict from Yu Chaoen to this day.

After hearing this, Cheng Yuanzhen's expression became solemn: "The alliance between the Tang Dynasty and the Uighurs is a crucial condition for us to defeat the rebels. Li Fuguo and the others dared to attack His Highness Ye Hu? Don't worry, the Supreme Emperor knows this and will definitely issue an order to protect His Highness Ye Hu!"

"That's good! Please help Uncle Cheng and ask for the order to come out!" Lu Yu bowed to Cheng Yuanzhen.

"Okay," Cheng Yuanzhen nodded and then said, "Come in together!"

"I don't want to go in." Lu Yu shook his head stubbornly.

"Are you resenting the Supreme Emperor?" Cheng Yuanzhen keenly guessed Lu Yu's thoughts, "The tiger poison does not eat his son. He was deceived back then, so he was sentenced to death. He can't blame him all!"

"I won't talk about that," Lu Yu shook his head, "I only said two years ago. At that time, he chose the imperial concubine between the imperial concubine and me, and he did not hesitate. I really have nothing to say about such a person."

"Oh! Then wait for me here!" Cheng Yuanzhen sighed helplessly, then turned around and turned his back to Lu Yu, and quickly walked into the palace gate.

After holding the horse for a while, Cheng Yuanzhen's figure appeared in Lu Yu's vision again. He was holding a roll of bright yellow books and silk in his hand, which was obviously an imperial decree invited.

And behind him, a slightly fat figure was followed.

Lu Yu looked closely and immediately recognized him.
