Lu Mingyu straightened her clothes and then told Ah Liu: "It's time to meet them. Go and invite Miss Jiang in. I want to see how far they can give in."

Ah Liu cupped his hands and then retreated.

Lu Mingyu got up to change clothes, and then Lu Yi put a fox fur on her, installed a hand stove and handed it to her to hold.

Lu Mingyu looked at Xiao Qian: "Sister, I'll come as soon as I go."

Xiao Qian picked up the needlework that was put aside and told her with a smile: "Sister, just go, I still have a lot of needlework here!"

Lu Mingyu nodded slightly and then went to the front hall.

As soon as he sat down in the hall, the servants hurriedly brought charcoal fire, which soon warmed the flower hall, which was as cold as an ice cellar.

Not long after, the five elders were invited in.

Seeing Lu Mingyu, several people looked a little ugly, but despite this, everyone had to suppress other emotions and greet him respectfully.

"I've met the great uncle and concubine!"

Lu Mingyu glanced at everyone, and then smiled softly: "Elders, please take a seat."

The five elders sat down one after another, and the servants immediately served tea.

Lu Mingyu held the stove and sat at the main seat. He did not need to deliberately show his majestic posture to show his status, and it was not something that people dared to underestimate.

If these elders were initially resentful towards Lu Mingyu and wanted to get rid of him quickly, however, at this moment, they had already recognized the reality.

Nowadays, everything in the Qin Dynasty is in the hands of Taishu, and Taishu is not only Lu Mingyu's husband, but also listens to Lu Mingyu.

In other words, this is the person who speaks most forcefully in Da Qin.

The Great Elder was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, our brothers are planning to return to southern Xinjiang. Please give me your permission."

Lu Mingyu was not in a hurry to speak, but slowly picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The short wait made several elders feel restless as if they were on fire.

After carefully sipping a cup of tea, Lu Mingyu said: "The Great Elder is joking. You are His Majesty's benefactors. When you return to southern Xinjiang, Great Qin will treat you kindly. Why do you need my approval?"

The great elder's expression froze slightly.

They thought that when they asked to leave, Lu Mingyu would take the opportunity to put forward conditions.

But they never thought that it was completely different from what they imagined, which would make them unable to deal with it.

Lu Mingyu saw their reactions in her eyes and waited quietly while holding the hand stove. There was always a faint smile on her face. The snow-white fur robe lined her icy skin, giving her a unique beauty.

The elders thought that Lu Mingyu would continue talking, but they waited and waited, but could not wait for Lu Mingyu's words.

Several people looked at each other and finally couldn't help but tell their purpose.

The First Elder tried to speak: "Your Majesty, I heard that there is a person in your Majesty's house who is in the same situation as your Majesty. Since Great Qin and Southern Xinjiang have formed an alliance, we are willing to help your Majesty and untie that person's poison."

Coming!

This is the real purpose of the elders.

Lu Mingyu's eyes flashed slightly under his long eyelashes, then he looked at the Great Elder calmly, and asked with a smile: "Where did the Great Elder hear about this?"

The great elder fell silent.

The third elder wanted to speak, but was stopped by the fifth elder.

After a while, the great elder spoke slowly, as if he had made up his mind: "I dare not lie to you, your Majesty. Someone is threatening us, telling us that we must remove the poison for that person, otherwise our lives will be taken."

He was really smart. If he hadn't received the information in advance, I would have been deceived by his words.

Although Lu Mingyu thought so in her heart, she didn't show any signs of it.

She opened her eyes slightly and looked surprised: "What is going on?"

Her surprise was just right, even the elders couldn't tell whether she was really surprised or fake.

But after opening this hole, the great elder had no choice but to continue: "We don't know who this person is, but his bewitching skills are superior to mine."

"He sneaked into the posthouse and subdued the five of us, and told us roughly about the person's situation, and threatened us to find ways to remove the person's poison, otherwise he would destroy the skills of us."

"My Lady must also know that we are the leading figures in Southern Xinjiang. Once something happens to a few of us, Southern Xinjiang will be leaderless. It is shameful to say that in order to preserve our skills, we can only agree."

Lu Mingyu suppressed all emotions and then asked the question: "Then why did the Great Elder choose to tell me about this matter?"

The Great Elder sighed and said slowly: "Empress, this is because we want to seek the blessing of Great Qin."

After Lu Mingyu listened, he didn't rush to say anything.

She already roughly understood what the Great Elder was thinking.

If he really sought refuge, he would not have expressed the cause and effect of the truth in such a vague manner, nor would he have brought it up until he had nothing to say.

They were retreating in order to advance, confiding some half-false and half-true information to her, thereby gaining her trust and allowing her to allow them to approach Master Qingchen.

Therefore, these elders are afraid that they have become puppets, and they are the puppets used by the Master to deal with Master Qingchen.
