When Lu Qingyao woke up, there were already stars outside the window. There were lits of orange-red candlelights on the dressing table, and the surroundings were quiet.

She opened her eyes and lay quietly on the top of the bed for a while. This was not her Xiwu Courtyard, but Dejin Courtyard, her parents' courtyard.

She should have been sent back after falling asleep in the ancestral hall, but why wasn't she sent back to her yard but on her mother's bed? Lu Qingyao was a little incomprehensible.

"Yao'er is awake." The door was opened with a creaking sound. Mrs. Lu walked in with the food box in person. Seeing Lu Qingyao sitting on the bed in a daze, she said softly, "Are you hungry? Mom brought you your favorite milk and egg custard."

"Mom." Lu Qingyao rubbed her sore neck and asked, "How long have I been sleeping? Is it dark?"

Mrs. Lu glared at her angrily and pretended to be angry, "It's almost the hour now. How long have you been sleeping? There was no incense stick on the ancestral hall, but I slept a lot. What's the punishment for you?"

Lu Qingyao looked at Mrs. Lu's face carefully and found that she was just verbally blameless and did not really get angry. So she felt relieved and began to act like cheating and act coquettish. "Mom, I really want to kneel in the ancestral hall to wake up myself. I don't know why I want to sleep as soon as I kneel down, maybe I'm too hungry."

She spoke confidently, and she was quite serious. Mrs. Lu didn't hold back and laughed out loud.

"You have many reasons." Mrs. Lu gently tapped Lu Qingyao's forehead with her fingers, and Lu Qingyao pouted and hummed, "It hurts, mom."

"What does it hurt? The doctor has shown you all, it's just a skin trauma. I'll see if you're still skinned next time."

Speaking of this, Lu Qingyao suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Lu Qingyun yet. She turned off the bed with a carp and asked Mrs. Lu urgently, "Mom, where is the second brother? Has he been back?"

Mrs. Lu took out the plate from the food box and said angrily, "I'm back, kneeling in the yard."

"What?" She was stunned, jumped to the window and looked out. Sure enough, she saw Lu Qingyun kneeling in the middle of the yard under the bright moonlight, with his head drooping, and the shadows on the ground were stretched very long.

She swallowed and asked, "Mom, second brother... When did you come back?"

Mrs. Lu was helping her blow the heat from the bowl. She didn't even raise her head when she heard this, and she easily said, "Wei Shi."

When Lu Qingyao heard this, she opened her mouth wide, looked out the window, and looked at her mother again, and after a while, she said, "Mom, I begged me to take me out for fun. My second brother didn't want to agree, but I sweared hard, and he couldn't agree. Just let him get up. My second brother didn't close his eyes last night, nor did he eat anything, and people would kneel down and be stupid when they kneel down."

Mrs. Lu's movements were as elegant as flowing water. She cooled the egg custard and dug a spoonful to Lu Qingyao's mouth. Lu Qingyao was anxious, but she had no choice but to eat the egg custard with her mother's hand.

After Mrs. Lu fed most of the bowl of cow milk and egg custard into Lu Qingyao's stomach, she put down the bowl again and again with repeated hints, and said to her with a smile, "If you glar again, your eyes will come out."

Lu Qingyao was embarrassed and simply became obsessed with Mrs. Lu, "Mom, just let your second brother go back. I promise not to go out privately next time, mom."

Mrs. Lu touched her hair lovingly, sighed quietly, and said quietly, "Yao'er, remember, you are the daughter of your mother, and you won't blame you no matter what you are. The only thing is that you must not hurt yourself, and you must learn to protect yourself at any time."

Lu Qingyao was puzzled. This was the second time her mother said "You are my mother's daughter". What is the special meaning of this sentence? Why did her mother repeatedly emphasize this sentence?

"Mom, I understand. Second brother is your son too. Let me get up first."

"Yes, you are all good kids to your mother."

Mrs. Lu stood up, walked to the window and said to Lu Qingyun in the yard, "Yun'er, come in."

After a while, Lu Qingyun limped in while rubbing his knees. He looked at Lu Qingyao first, squeezed his eyes at her, and then knelt down at Mrs. Lu, "Mom, Yun'er knows that she is wrong."

Mrs. Lu asked him to get up and sit down, and said, "Yun'er, do you know why mother punished you?"

"I know, Yun'er doesn't know the importance of it, so he stole Yao'er to sleep in the desert overnight, and almost made a big mistake."

"This is just one of them. You have never liked to be restrained since you were a child. You are wild and angry. Because your elder brother is supporting you, your father and I will indulge you more, but we don't expect that you will develop a ignorant and reckless personality in your work."

"Do you know, if the Fourth Prince has a bad reputation this time, will you pay our entire General's Mansion or will your father and your elder brother be criticized on the front line? Is it not safe to worry?"

When Lu Qingyun and Lu Qingyao heard this, they looked up at Mrs. Lu. Both of them were stunned and shocked.

Yes, if something happened to the emperor's favorite youngest son, not to mention whether the Lu, Gu, and Fu family would be implicated? Just say that if the general who led troops was implicated, who would ultimately benefit?

Lu Qingyun obviously thought of this relationship, and his face turned pale and his regretfulness was obvious.

"Mom". He knelt down again after a pounce, but this time he was sincere and extremely serious.

"The child knows that he is wrong, please punish him."

Mrs. Lu personally picked him up and said earnestly, "Mom punished you because she hopes that you can think twice before making any decisions in the future and take into account the overall situation. Your surname is Lu. This surname Lu not only represents our Lu family, but also represents the hundreds of thousands of Lu family troops who have sacrificed their lives and followed your father's passionate blood, as well as their wives, children and families."

Lu Qingyun's eyes turned red, his fists clenched, and he nodded heavily, "Son understands."

"Good boy, I ask you, who is your idea for you and the Fourth Highness to visit Luming Mountain at night this time?"

"It's the Fourth Prince. He said that Lu Ming Mountain is rare and has countless rare birds and beasts. He wants to hunt a flame fox to make a fox scarf for Concubine Zhao."

"It was proposed by the Fourth Highness? Then have you caught the flame fox?"

"No, we were going up the mountain with bows and arrows, but later we found that night hunting in Luming Mountain was too difficult, with complex terrain and numerous mechanisms, so we gave up hunting and planned to catch some pheasants and hares and drink and barbecue, and then went down the mountain at dawn."

"Why are you lost in the mountains again?"

When Lu Qingyao heard Mrs. Lu ask this question she had always wanted to know, her half-closed eyes flashed.

Lu Qingyun licked his dry lips and looked at the egg custard with half a bowl left. Mrs. Lu glared at him, poured him a glass of water, and then ordered the maid to prepare a midnight snack for him.

Lu Qingyun drank three glasses of water before changing his breath and said, "Mom, we discovered a big secret on the mountain."

Mrs. Lu raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's the secret?"

"A secret room is full of dead people."
