Chapter 67 Public Execution
The drunk man is in the middle.

"Master, General Shan stayed at Hibiscus Pavilion last night and did not even step out of his room."

Tianxun lowered his head even lower as he reported.

He had been reporting every detail of His Highness' affairs these days, but for some reason, when his master heard that General Shan stayed in the princess's room today, he felt inexplicably frightened.

Qinghe had a smile on his lips as he slowly reviewed the memorials.

"Your Highness seems quite interested," he said, glancing at the unread memorial. "Your Highness has fallen behind in his studies for a few days. Let me invite Your Highness to come."

Tianxun stood there in embarrassment, as his master had never taken the initiative to invite His Highness before.

Seeing that he didn't move, Qing He asked, "Is there something difficult?"

Tianxun nodded honestly, "Your Highness is going to the Dali Temple with General Shan today."

The smile on Qing He's face faded a little, "Forget it."

Looking at the daily memorials, I feel bored today.

On the second day, the news that Shan Baiyu stayed in Furong Pavilion spread like wildfire. Although he stayed in an ear room, it was worth talking about by everyone.

Last night went by peacefully, as the misunderstanding was resolved and the two of them got along quite well.

Shi Nuanyu also learned from Shan Baiyu many things about the customs and ways of the people in Nanyue that she didn't know.

The orioles interpret the language at the beginning, which is the most beneficial thing in the spring of the year.

Shi Nuanyu woke up to the sound of birds chirping. She was used to stretching in bed to wake herself up, but her arm touched something warm.

She suddenly woke up and looked to the side, only to see Shan Baiyu sleeping soundly with his hands folded on his chest.

Why hasn't he left yet?
They talked until very late last night. The only small couch in the ear room had already been moved away by Qinghe, so the two had no choice but to sleep on the same bed.

She stood up quietly and stepped over the man carefully, just meeting his bright eyes.

Shi Nuanyu pulled the corner of her mouth awkwardly, "Hello."

Why did I wake up in this awkward position?

Shan Baiyu's face was already ripe, and he quickly closed his eyes, his mind full of the image of a sleeping woman.

"Your Highness, please go ahead."

How come you are even more shy than her!
Shi Nuanyu was puzzled and climbed down from the bed with her hands and feet together.

After the two of them washed, ate and drank their fill, Nuanyu touched her belly with satisfaction.

So comfortable!

"Let's go and do some work."

Shan Baiyu was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The Wang family's affairs were not actually within the jurisdiction of the Dali Temple, but the Wang family slandered the loyal officials in the court with bad motives, and with the princess speaking up, they had no choice but to add this case.

Coincidentally, Jingzhao Yin Li was suspended from his post and stayed behind due to being implicated by his eldest son, so now there is no one in charge of Jingzhao Prefecture.

The Dali Temple was exactly the same as what she had seen in books in her previous life. It was just as solemn and dignified, and filled with a serious atmosphere everywhere.

Shi Nuanyu suddenly became distracted and hesitated to go to the Dali Temple.

As expected, no matter which world you are in, the atmosphere of class is everywhere.

Her reaction caught the attention of the two men next to her.

Hua Lingyan opened her round almond-shaped eyes and asked with concern, "Your Highness, are you feeling unwell?"

He reached out and held Shi Nuanyu's shoulders.

In response to Qinghe's request, Shi Nuanyu must be accompanied by a young man whenever she goes out.

"A Ling, I'm fine."

She couldn't say she was frightened by the class smell.

A trace of concern flashed in Shan Baiyu's eyes, and he withdrew the hand he had just extended.

"I'm really fine, let's go in first."

Dali Temple Minister Lu Yanghe is a middle-aged man with integrity. It is said that he was a general in his early years and followed the emperor and empress to fight in battles, but he was forced to withdraw from the battlefield due to an injury to his right leg.
The emperor originally wanted to assign him an idle position so that he could spend his life in peace, but he relied on his strong abilities to reach his current position step by step.

Hearing that the princess would be coming to the Dali Temple early in the morning, he reluctantly came to pay his respects at the urging of his subordinates. "Greetings, Princess."

After all, he is a brave general who has been on the battlefield, and he has a murderous aura that ordinary people do not have.

With such powerful parents in front and a failed daughter behind, these old generals who followed the emperor and empress naturally looked down on the original owner's behavior and naturally did not like her now.

Shi Nuanyu straightened her back and tried her best not to show any panic in front of him.

"Master Lu, please rise. I have come to this palace today regarding the Wang family's affairs. What suspicions can the Dali Temple uncover?"

Shan Baiyu and Hua Lingyan bowed to him.

"uncle."

When Nuan Yu heard these two words, her back went numb. It turned out that Dan Baiyu and Lu Yanghe had such a relationship. No wonder she always felt that he looked at her with a sinister look. What was the difference between this and a public execution?

Lu Yanghe's cold expression finally eased a little, but when his eyes fell on Shan Baiyu's legs, his expression turned sour again.

"How's your leg injury?"

Shi Nuanyu stood there, not daring to move. She was both the victim and the perpetrator.

The book only describes the entanglement between the original owner and the male protagonists, and the rest are either glossed over or left blank.

She had no idea about their relationship, and if she had known, she wouldn't have come.

"Your Highness has found some good medicine, and he will be able to walk again in a few days."

Shan Baiyu told the truth. Noticing Lu Yanghe's unfriendly gazes on Shi Nuanyu, he pushed his wheelchair in front of the two of them.

"Uncle, I'm sorry to trouble you with the Wang family's affairs."

Shi Nuanyu was surprised. She didn't expect Shan Baiyu to protect her.

Hua Lingyan looked straight ahead, blocking her side intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing him protecting her like this, Lu Yanghe looked surprised. In Nanyue, the only people he respected were the Emperor and Empress. Knocking on the head to Princess Nanyue was just a compliance with etiquette.

Not to mention that her nephew's leg injury was caused by her.

Speaking of serious matters, Lu Yanghe said solemnly, "Princess, the Wang family's affairs have far-reaching implications. If I continue to investigate, my life will be in danger."

He stated his intention directly, "Princess, could you please protect this old minister's life?"

The emperor and empress are not in the court. Now the state teacher is supervising the country. The Taifu is already in his sixties, and it is not convenient for him to disturb the old man. Only the idle princess can be his backer.

To be honest, he didn't have much hope.

Shi Nuanyu understood what he meant, that he regarded her as a powerful figure.

The Chief Justice of the Dali Temple is a third-rank official. Who else could he not afford to offend if he couldn't even afford to offend a third-rank official?

It's impossible for a prince of a different surname to appear in the court out of nowhere.

"To defame a loyal minister is to defy the laws of the court. Lord Lu, please go ahead and investigate. I will take responsibility for any consequences."

After all, she is the only heir of Nanyue, so she still has some courage.

I heard earlier that the princess's personality is very different from before, so it seems that she has changed a lot now that she can say this.

Lu Yanghe's expression finally relaxed a little, and he did not stop even though he had achieved his goal.

"This old minister has something important to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, he left in a hurry, and I wonder where he was going.

Shan Baiyu explained, "My uncle is impatient and doesn't like to procrastinate. I hope Your Highness will forgive me for any impoliteness."

Shi Nuanyu shook her head. "I haven't thought about it that much. I actually admire Lord Lu's behavior. Apart from the fact that he's not one to flatter others, getting along with him shouldn't require much thought."

Most military generals come and go in their positions, not to mention that Lu Yanghe is a talented person with both civil and military skills, so it is normal for him to have some temper.

Under the guidance of the warden, the three of them successfully entered the place where the prisoners were held.

Dan Baiyu's frown, full of worries, could kill a mosquito.

Shi Nuanyu and Hua Lingyan tacitly understood each other and did not speak, but followed quietly behind.

The author has something to say: "The oriole begins to sing, and spring is the best time of the year." From Su Shi's "Reduced-Character Magnolia Flower. The Oriole Begins to Sing"
