Chapter 123 Lu Yi rescues the emperor again
This thrilling scene left everyone present stunned and shocked, with their mouths opened wide enough to fit an egg in!
After coming to their senses, people began to whisper to each other as if they had just woken up from a dream, praising Lu Yi's brave and fearless behavior. They praised him for being not only as nimble as a cunning rabbit, but also as courageous as a tiger descending the mountain!
The queen was still a little frightened and said, "Fortunately, Lu Yi is here to protect you, otherwise there would be a disaster today!"
The other concubines echoed what she said and thanked Lu Yi one after another, saying that if it weren't for her standing up, the consequences would be unimaginable.
They did not hide their admiration and praised him sincerely: "Yes, we should really thank you, Master Lu. You are really a heroine!"
However, at this moment, there was a person who was different from the others - this person had raised eyebrows, eyes as sharp as knives, and no trace of joy on his face.
This person is undoubtedly the imperial concubine.
Yes, it was the person who was kidnapped by the assassin that day.
Even though Lu Yi had just saved her from the brink of life and death, she didn't seem to appreciate it, not even a hint of gratitude.
At this moment, the Queen Mother praised Lu Yi's outstanding performance without fear in the face of danger, and decided on the spot to give her an extremely precious and rare reward as a reward for her life-saving grace.
The dragon boat carrying Emperor Tiansheng and all the civil and military officials in the court slowly sailed towards this place.
At that time, he witnessed with his own eyes that the ship was rushing straight towards the ship where the Queen Mother was, and he was extremely anxious, but he was unable to rescue her in time due to the long distance.
Now that he saw that Lu Yi had successfully saved the entire ship and the lives of the people on board, he breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
When the two ships approached, Emperor Tiansheng could not wait to jump onto the bow and ran to the Queen Mother as fast as he could. He hugged her tightly in his arms and asked anxiously, "Mother, are you okay?"
The Queen Mother calmly pushed away Emperor Tiansheng's hands, and then responded softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I am fine. It is the Queen who is a little frightened. Your Majesty should comfort her."
Hearing this, Emperor Tiansheng finally came to his senses as if awakened from a dream. He turned to look at the empress and concubines, and asked with concern: "Are you all safe?"
Everyone answered in unison: "Thanks to your Majesty's concern, I am doing fine!"
Emperor Tiansheng then turned his gaze to a minister beside him and said sternly: "Investigate this matter thoroughly! Make sure to find out the mastermind behind this!"
When the imperial concubine heard this, she couldn't help feeling a little flustered.
So the imperial concubine stood up hurriedly, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there is a dragon boat race today. It stands to reason that the dragon boats participating in the race should not sail to this area. Besides, there are many people gathered by the lake to watch! If you order a thorough investigation of this matter at this time, I am afraid it will cause panic among the people."
The Queen Mother's face was calm, without any change, but her eyes gently swept over the Imperial Concubine beside her, and then slowly said: "Emperor, what the Imperial Concubine said makes sense. We must investigate, but there is no need to mobilize so many troops and publicize it so as to avoid unnecessary losses and impacts."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tiansheng nodded repeatedly to show his agreement, and responded, "Yes, what the Queen Mother said is absolutely right. I understand."
Then he turned around and gave an order to the Jingzhao Yin who was standing nearby, asking him to conduct a comprehensive investigation in secret.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother smiled slightly and continued, "Luckily, Lu Yi stepped forward and saved so many of our lives. I was just about to reward her. The Emperor came at the right time. Why not let the Emperor personally present the reward?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tiansheng responded without hesitation: "What the Queen Mother said is absolutely right. Lu Yi's contribution in protecting the emperor is undoubted, and he should be rewarded generously."
The Queen Mother then suggested, "In my opinion, we might as well confer the title of county lady on Lu Yi. As for the fiefdom, it will be up to Your Majesty to decide."
Emperor Tiansheng originally only intended to give Lu Yi some gold and silver jewelry as a reward, but at this moment the empress dowager actually proposed to confer the title of county lord on her.
