Xu Yan looked at Peng Yue with undisguised surprise in his eyes. Peng Yue didn't express much about her reaction and just shrugged. Xu Yan must have understood what she meant.

When Xu Yan was deep in thought, Peng Yue, who had been standing beside her silently, seemed to have summoned up the courage to speak to Xu Yan: "I want to ask you something."

Xu Yan, who was meditating, was suddenly interrupted. She looked at Peng Yue in a funny way and said, "What's going on? Why are you so hesitant when talking to Gu? Just say it directly."

Peng Yue lowered her head and kept twirling her two fingers. Xu Yan did not miss this detail. She knew that whenever Peng Yue was nervous, she would subconsciously do this action. This actually made her more curious about Peng Yue.

After struggling for so long, what should I say to her?

Peng Yue sighed deeply, and then said to Xu Yan: "Have you never thought about promoting Lu Huai?" This sentence was so straightforward that Xu Yan was not prepared at all. Xu Yan was stunned, not knowing how to respond.

she.

She turned her head and thought carefully about what happened over the years. It seemed that she had never really wanted to promote Lu Huai. Even if Lu Huai really did a good job, she never thought about it that way. Maybe she subconsciously felt that she

Lu Huai could not be promoted, and Lu Huai could not be used in her favor. But as to why she thought so, she did not have an accurate answer in her heart.

Now that this question was raised by Peng Yue, she was caught off guard. She did not dare to look back at Peng Yue and stammered: "Why did you suddenly think of asking Gu Gu this question?"

If Xu Yan turned around at this time, she could see the tenderness in Peng Yue's eyes. She said softly: "I believe that I don't need to say more. Lu Huai's excellence can be seen by all the civil and military officials in the court and your Majesty."

He is elegant on the surface and does not care about fame and fortune. That is because he never bothers to ask for charity from others when he wants something. He wants to get what he wants by relying on his own strength."

"But, Your Majesty let him down." When Peng Yue said this, her tone was cold, which made Xu Yan feel guilty for no reason.

Peng Yue didn't care about Xu Yan's reaction at this moment, but continued with some seriousness: "Lu Huai is a very ambitious person. If your Majesty can satisfy his ambition, he will naturally be used by your Majesty. But if your Majesty is

If you continue to treat him like this, he will show his sharp side and hurt Your Majesty."

Xu Yan's voice was trembling as she said, "So have you discovered it yet?" After saying this, she felt Peng Yue's body stiffen beside her.

Xu Yan then turned to look at Peng Yue and asked word for word: "Did you discover something, so you came to remind me?"

Peng Yue did not answer her question, but told her a piece of news. Xu Yan saw Peng Yue showing the ugliest smile she had seen in so many years. Peng Yue tried hard to keep the corners of her mouth raised.

, but her slightly trembling lips still revealed her emotions: "He is getting married."

Xu Yan didn't expect this news at all, and she couldn't react at all for a moment. She looked at Peng Yue in surprise and asked in disbelief: "What did you say?"

Peng Yue turned to Xu Yan and repeated what she just said: "I said Lu Huai is getting married."

When Xu Yan heard the news, he suddenly felt that he had been sick for several years. When he faced the world, he found that everything had been turned upside down. In fact, judging from Lu Huai's age, he was already relatively young.

She got married late, so she shouldn't be surprised.

But since Peng Yue's marriage fell through, the two of them had a tacit understanding and never mentioned the marriage to each other. Although the ministers of the court did not know the specific situation, Xu Yan did. She thought that the two of them

It's just that they can't get over Xu Luoyang's hurdle, and they will naturally be together after it passes. So she has been secretly looking forward to the day when the two of them get married.

Judging from Peng Yue's feelings for Lu Huai, if one day Lu Huai gets married to someone other than her, Xu Yan will not be surprised that Peng Yue will not marry or become a monk directly because of this. Peng Yue will burn all her love

She gave her full love and her best years to a man named Lu Huai. She would never love someone as deeply as she loved Lu Huai.

So when he heard the news, Xu Yan subconsciously looked at Peng Yue. Peng Yue was still standing in front of her, and she was even teasing her before. She acted so normal, as if Lu Huai had never said that he was going to get married.

generally.

Xu Yan quickly thought of countless words to comfort Peng Yue in her mind, but when she saw Peng Yue's calm face, she felt like something was stuck in her throat and she couldn't say a word. She didn't dare to look at Peng Yue anymore, and quickly turned around and took a few deep breaths.

Then he tried to calm himself down and said: "Isn't there any news before? Why is it so sudden? Which girl is she from?"

Peng Yue smiled bitterly and said, "It hasn't been decided yet, but it looks like she should be the youngest daughter-in-law of General Zuo's family."

Xu Yan couldn't help but frowned when he heard the meaning of Peng Yue's words: "General Zuo's family is notorious for lax discipline. Isn't the youngest daughter-in-law arrogant and domineering?

"With Lu Huai's temperament, how could he choose such a woman? Besides, how could General Zuo like Lu Huai?"

Peng Yue was silent and then said: "Although I don't want to speculate unreasonably, Your Majesty, what is the shortest way for a person to rise to power or gain power?"

Peng Yue's words were always to the point. Xu Yan could understand the meaning of her words even if she didn't know what she meant. Combined with what Peng Yue said at the beginning, a terrible idea formed in Xu Yan's heart. Xu Yan hesitated.

He asked aloud: "Is it possible that Lu Huai wants power and wants to be in the top position? But he..."

Xu Yan shut her mouth before she finished speaking. She blamed herself a little. If she could have discovered Lu Huai's thoughts earlier, she would not have brought the matter to this stage. It was because she had not promoted Lu Huai for so many years.

Huai, that's why he was asked to find another high branch to cling to, and Xu Yan had to promote him. However, this matter is a bit strange, so how can a person who cares about face be willing to cling to others to get to the top?

Seeing that Xu Yan hadn't said a word for a long time, Peng Yue guessed that Xu Yan had already thought about that aspect. Before Xu Yan could ask her doubts, Peng Yue took the first step and said, "Have you paid attention to Xu Luoyang in these years?

What’s going on?”

This sentence stopped Xu Yan. Since the death of the Queen Mother, she has been subconsciously avoiding all aspects related to the Queen Mother and Xu Luoyang. So even if Xu Luoyang disappeared, she never let anyone go.

She had searched. She didn't want to face Xu Luoyang again. Every time she saw the magnanimity around her, Xu Yan would feel inferior and want to escape.

Peng Yue knew the answer when she saw Xu Yan didn't speak. She said quietly: "Xu Luoyang is back."

Xu Yan stiffened suddenly, and then looked at Peng Yue, his eyes full of disbelief.

No wonder, no wonder Lu Huai is in such a hurry to get married. He is afraid that his relationship with Xu Luoyang has completely turned upside down. He wants to prove to Xu Luoyang how happy he is and make Xu Luoyang regret doing this.
