The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Chapter 49 The Princess’s Mansion
  After Lu Xu entered, he returned all the way to Ju'anzhai. As soon as he entered, Sanqi, the servant in the courtyard, greeted him.

There are no maids to serve him in his room, and there are not many servants. Only Sanqi can be regarded as serving him closely.

Besides, Lou Wu and others often come in and out of Ju'anzhai, so naturally the fewer people there, the better.

Sanqi hadn't seen Lu Xu in such a miserable state for a long time, and couldn't help but feel a little worried. He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "The prince is back, are you injured?"

Lu Xu glanced at him and said, "It's okay, you don't have to wait here."

The prince always reported good news but not bad news, and Sanqi couldn't help but sigh.

"I don't know when the Crown Princess will be able to enter the palace. The Crown Prince has a person of his own and doesn't have to leave early and come home late every day. I don't have any worries in my heart." Sanqi handed over the handkerchief to his master to cleanse his face and continued: "Your Majesty, can you have dinner?"

Seeing that his master didn't speak, he just thought it was because he was talking too much again, and silently walked out of the room with the basin in hand.

Lu Xu took out the few remaining talisman papers from his arms, and the image of Wen Jiu wearing a red dress with flying skirts appeared in his mind. I'm afraid that person would never want to enter the mansion in this life...

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess and the consort are still preparing to have a meal in the flower hall. Maybe you haven't seen them for a long time."

Sanqi came out of nowhere again. Although the princess and the consort knew that the prince was busy with affairs, they couldn't go without seeing each other for more than half a month.

A trace of hesitation flashed in Lu Xu's eyes. Do they...really want to see him, especially dad?

It seemed that from the time he could remember, the prince-in-law had a bad attitude towards him. No matter how hard he tried, the prince-in-law would always treat him lukewarmly, and would even look at him with disgust.

Is there really a father who hates his own child so much?

Seeing Sanqi still lying at the door looking around, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Help me change some clothes."

Sanqi breathed a sigh of relief and asked someone to pass on the message. He arranged Lu Xu's clothes and said earnestly: "My lord, you are young and promising. At such a young age, you are the emperor's right-hand man. These are inseparable from the relationship between the princess and the consort." The prince’s strict requirements must not be taken to heart by small things.”

Sanqi grew up with Lu Xu, so he knew the attitude of the eldest princess and the consort towards the prince, but he didn't know how to explain it. He could only say that every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite.

"Although the eldest princess rarely comes to the prince's courtyard to take care of the prince's food and daily life, in the eyes of outsiders, the eldest princess still gives the prince enough care and dignity. Otherwise, it would be said that the prince was slandered when he first entered Jinyiwei. The eldest princess can work non-stop. Do you want to help the prince seek justice..."

"There is also the prince's marriage. Although no one has seen how Miss Wen looks like, at least she is the apple of Taifu Wen's eye. Taifu Wen is the most respected person by the emperor..."

"Let's talk about the prince-in-law..."

"Sanqi...you are very noisy." Lu Xu finally couldn't help but speak.

Sanqi swallowed silently and became quiet.

Lu Xu changed his clothes and said to the person in the dark: "You will personally deliver some good wound medicine to Wen Mansion later, take the bottle of Leng Shen Pills in my cabinet with you, and say thank you to Miss Wen...Jiang for today." help."

Zhou Si should be busy.

Leng Shen Wan? This is a high-quality healing medicine that is hard to find, so the prince only got this bottle!
  Sanqi on the side opened her mouth wide, why is there Miss Jiang in Wen Mansion? Which Wen Mansion? Which ginger girl?

He was about to open his mouth, but when he saw Lu Xu's warning eyes, he immediately closed his mouth.

Just as he was preparing to go out, Xiwen, who was beside the eldest princess, asked to see him outside. He said that the prince consort was feeling unwell and had gone back to his room to rest. If the prince wanted to have a meal, he should go there as soon as possible.

Lu Xu's eyes dimmed. He wanted to know what the consort in San Qi's mouth had done for him.

When Lu Xu passed by the garden, he faintly saw a lake through the light of the lantern. Last time I came here, the lake was filled with lotus leaves reaching to the sky, with extremely pink lotus flowers blooming on them.

He vaguely remembered that there was such a pool, and there was a water pavilion beside the pool. When he opened the window, he saw the lotus flowers in this pool.

Lu Xu once asked the eldest princess if there was such a place at home, but at that time she became red-eyed, dragged him away from the lake, and warned him not to mention these ridiculous things again.

...

When Lu Xu arrived at the flower hall, the eldest princess was sitting upright holding the very rare cat that Chen Guo paid tribute to a few years ago. The cat was all white with snow-white eyes and dark blue eyes. It was currently nestled in the eldest princess's arms. Her knees were touched very pleasantly, and she called out a few times from time to time, which made the eldest princess even happier.

Lu Xu looked at this scene, and some pictures that did not belong to him once again appeared in his mind. In the pictures, a man and a woman were playing with him in the garden, feeling very peaceful and contented.

But he knew that it was impossible for their family of three to have such a scene.

The eldest princess looked up and saw Lu Xu's expression was gloomy. She thought he was on duty in the palace during the day and was tired, so she said, "I'm back. Sit down."

"Thank you, mother." Lu Xu lowered his eyes and responded.

She looked at Lu Xu with a smile. She hadn't seen him for a while. She didn't know what he had gone through, but he looked more and more like that person.

Especially after taking off the flying fish suit, this outfit is exquisite and luxurious, and his calm face actually looks a bit like an emperor.

He is now twenty-one, and has long lost his youthful youth. With the royal bloodline, the upbringing of a noble family, and the experience of a royal guard, his brilliance cannot be suppressed even by the princes in the palace.

The eldest princess suddenly felt a little bitter in her heart. She shook the handkerchief and smiled at Lu Xu: "Your father has been thinking about you a lot these days. You are busy with official duties and go out early and come back late every day. But today he is not feeling well, so he went early Go back and rest.”

Lu Xu's expression remained normal and he said, "Thank you, father and mother, for your concern."

After finishing the ceremony, he went to sit down next to him and said no more words.

"I heard that Concubine Rou has been experiencing physical abnormalities recently?" Although the eldest princess rarely enters the palace now, the rumors in the palace have reached her ears without fail.

"I saw the imperial doctor today. It seems to be a heart problem."

"Afraid of your heart? I'm afraid you've done too many things to your heart's content." The eldest princess sneered.

Overt and covert fights in the harem have long been commonplace, but this concubine is indeed the best among them.

"So I also know that the death of Concubine Ning in Suining Palace is related to Concubine Rou."

This is not a question.

"The problem is Concubine Ning?" The eldest princess gently raised her eyes and snorted coldly, "It turns out it's not that I won't take revenge, it's that the time has not come yet."

The servants began to serve the dishes one after another. Lu Xu paused for a moment, fearing that someone might overhear.

"Is it really Concubine Rou who killed Concubine Ning?"

"Yes and no." The eldest princess gently put down the jade chopsticks in her hand, thinking of the ruthless emperor who held a high position in the palace, "Back then, Concubine Ning was deeply favored by the Holy Spirit. Without his nod, who would dare to touch Concubine Ning? And who else would have dared to touch Concubine Ning? Who moved her and she can still be safe?"

Lu Xu raised his eyes in shock. Could it be that...
