The weak princess is super fierce

Prince Jing's Mansion has always been relatively close to the East Palace, so that he, the Fifth Emperor's brother, and the Seventh Emperor's brother are not very close to Prince Jing's Mansion, not to mention the flower viewing banquet held by cousin Yan Hua, but also the various events organized by cousin Bo Huan. During the banquet, they were just going through the motions at best.

Who will really participate?

Cousin Bo Huan never really invited them, but it was just a formality.

The only person that cousin Bo Huan really wanted to entertain was the prince.

The Seventh Emperor's brother knew that this had always been the case, yet he still offered to attend the flower viewing banquet at Prince Jing's Mansion tomorrow. It was hard not to make him suspicious.

"Second cousin wants me to help Cousin Zheng and Second Young Master Lu to create opportunities." Li Cong didn't hide anything and directly told the story. Of course, it wasn't about how loyal he was to Li Heng. The main reason was that he didn't tell Li Heng. With the bottom revealed, it would be difficult to ask Li Heng to help with this.

Li Heng was stunned for a moment, then smiled heartily: "Then don't we have to call my second uncle?"

The Seventh Emperor's brother took refuge with him, and Concubine Shu also showed her kindness to his mother in the palace, and looked up to his mother everywhere, but these were all false. No matter how good the appearance was, who knew whether there might be a knife hidden inside.

Therefore, although he and his mother accepted the support of the Seventh Emperor and Concubine Shu, they both maintained a vigilant heart. They had never fully believed in the Seventh Emperor's brother and Concubine Shu. However, things were completely different now.

The Seventh Emperor's brother can take the initiative to ask him for help in building a bridge between his second uncle and Xiang Zheng, which shows the Seventh Emperor's sincerity. After all, once Lu and Xiang get married, a solid marriage alliance will be the most reliable guarantee. .

If he succeeds in the future, the Xiang Mansion will naturally be prosperous because of his in-laws. If he fails miserably, the Xiang Mansion will inevitably be dragged down by his in-laws. The least likely result will be that the Seventh Emperor's brother and Concubine Shu are deposed. From then on After becoming a common people, the Xiang Mansion will never recover and completely decline.

At that time, in the capital, among the wealthy families, not only was there no longer the Lu Mansion, but there was no longer the Xiang Mansion.

With such sincerity, how could he not agree?

When Li Cong heard Li Heng's quick response, he also beamed with joy: "That's right! Invite the Second Young Master Lu to the lotus banquet. I don't have the ability, so I need the Second Emperor's brother to step in!"

"I thought you came here to see my imperial brother, but I didn't expect that you came to join me and become Yue Lao together." Li Heng's haze of not being able to win over Qiao Qiancheng was swept away at this moment. "There's nothing wrong with my second uncle. You don't have to worry. You just need to make sure that Miss Xiang Liu will come to the lotus banquet."

There was still room for reservation in what he said on the surface, but in fact, he had already thought in his heart that after Lu Luo and Xiang Zheng got married, both Lu and Xiang's houses would become his backers, and his power would be strengthened again!

The corners of Li Heng's mouth turned upward and he couldn't suppress it.

"Thank you, Second Emperor Brother!" Li Congquan pretended not to notice Li Heng's inner joy and thanked him with gratitude.

Li Heng excused hypocritically: "We are all brothers, so why should we thank you? When Miss Xiang Liu marries her second uncle, you and I will become even more intimate. This is a great thing."

Li Cong didn't take Li Heng's excuse seriously, and his face was still filled with gratitude: "Brother Second Emperor, do you think it can be done?"

"Of course..." Li Heng is used to controlling everything, but Lu Luo, the second uncle, really gives him a headache, "Ahem! The second uncle listens to the eldest uncle the most, but even the eldest uncle doesn't dare to do anything to the second uncle. I'm sure of my marriage, I think it depends on Miss Xiang Liu whether she can succeed or not."

"Then how can the Second Emperor persuade the Second Young Master Lu to go to Prince Jing's Mansion tomorrow?" Li Cong also knows Lu Luo. He knows the title of the number one bully in the capital and everything Lu Luo does in the Lu Mansion. I heard it and knew that Li Heng was telling the truth.

Li Heng said: "Didn't I just say that the second uncle listens to the eldest uncle the most? If I don't go to the second uncle directly, I will go to the eldest uncle!" The purpose of going to Hanxi Palace to find Li Heng was achieved, and Li Cong sat down again. After a while, he said goodbye quickly.

As soon as he returned to his Yandan Palace, Li Cong's usually sunny face changed and became so gloomy that Feng Hui, who was pushing the wheelchair behind him, dared not express his anger.

Lingxian heard that Li Cong had returned to the palace. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw Li Cong's expression in the palace. He secretly complained in his heart, hating that his legs were too long. Why did he walk so fast?

Li Cong's character has become slightly distorted. Apart from Xiang Zhao, only the two confidant guards around him, Feng Hui and Ling Xian, know that why Zi Lai never hides his gloominess in front of them.

This moment is certainly no exception.

"Lingxian, go and find out what kind of girl Meng Liangchen is." Li Cong has heard a lot about the various feats of Meng Tianguan's granddaughter recently. Now that Cousin Zheng wants to marry Lu Luo, how much will he do? We need to get to know this Miss Meng who can make Lu Luo feel embarrassed, "Especially the matters related to cousin Zheng and the second young master Lu, we must find out clearly."

"No." Ling Xian responded.

Ling Xian stepped back and immediately went to check on Meng Shisan. Only Li Cong and Feng Hui, the master and servant, were left in the palace.

Feng Hui asked puzzledly: "Your Highness, didn't the Second Young Master tell Your Highness that Miss Six, together with Miss Meng and other noble ladies, witnessed the drowning of General Qiao's daughter at Bixu Manor? Why do we need Lingxian to check again?"

"It's better to check it again to avoid any mistakes or omissions in what second cousin said." Li Cong believed Xiang Zhao, but now he believed in himself even more.

Qiao Qiancheng submitted a request to return to Lingnan. His Highness Jinluan received the emperor's permission. Meng Tianguan and Meng Zhidu were not required to explain to the court. Meng Renping returned to Zhan Shifu and asked Gao Yuan who was waiting in the official room to immediately Leave the palace and return to Meng Mansion to inform Meng Renji.

Meng Renji received the notice, and Gao Yuan left the house and returned to Meng Renping. He also left Senwanyuan and went straight to Taichenyuan.

Meng Shisan was studying the blood-stained gold hairpin given to her by Wu, wondering whether the relics left by Zeng, which contained old blood, had some special meaning.

It's just that Wu doesn't know the meaning, and she hasn't been able to get inspiration from the gold hairpin itself to deduce anything.

"Yaoyao!" Meng Renji arrived before the others arrived.

When Meng Shisan heard someone calling her, she looked up and saw Meng Renji crossing the threshold and walking into Mingxiao Hall with the light on his back.

She closed the box casually: "Why is the second brother here?"

"General Qiao will leave for Lingnan tomorrow." Meng Renji walked closer and saw the box on the table. He glanced at it and saw that it was a jewelry box. He quickly looked away and sat down on the seat on the other side. "Brother, just now I asked Gao Yuan to come back home specifically to talk to me."

Meng Shisan counted the time: "It seems that as soon as the eldest brother left the court, he asked Gao Yuan to rush back to the house to inform the second brother."

Meng Renji nodded: "That's exactly what Gao Yuan said. What the elder brother means is that I should be prepared. Maybe when General Qiao's horse runs out of the city gate tomorrow, I will have to rush to catch up."
