Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 306 I'm sorry for my cousin (Happy Queen's Day!)

Lu Xinyan was taken aback, but before she could react, she heard Xiao Qing sternly shouted: "Jian Jia, what are you doing?!"

Her voice was full of shock, Lu Xinyan didn't know what happened, and quickly motioned Qingtong to help Jian Jia up first, "Jian Jia, if you have something to say, talk slowly."

Jian Jia avoids Qingtong's hand, but refuses to get up, and sadly says to Xiao Qing: "Niang Niang, tell the princess the truth, the only one who can help you now is the princess!"

Xiao Qing's face turned pale, and she said sternly: "What nonsense are you talking about? What's the matter with me?"

"Your Majesty, this servant is your personal maid. Is there anything wrong with you? Doesn't this servant know about it?" Jian Jia said with tears in her eyes, "If you don't say anything else, if someone finds out, not only you will die, but also your servant and Ganquan Palace will die. , the third prince, and the entire Zhen Guo Gongfu, which one can survive?"

Xiao Qing was stunned, her face became paler and paler. It's not that she didn't know the seriousness, but...but how could she say it?

"Your Majesty, the princess is still pregnant with the young son of Duke Zhen's mansion, do you have the heart to let him not even have the chance to see the world?"

Xiao Qing couldn't help but look at Lu Xinyan's stomach. Wasn't she betraying Leng Xun and entering the palace as a concubine for the future of the Duke of Zhen?The current future is in Lu Xinyan's stomach, but it is very likely that it will die because of her.

She couldn't bear to close her eyes, "Jian Jia, tell me."

Jian Jia's face was filled with joy, but when she turned to Lu Xinyan, her expression became panic again, "Princess, Madam, she...is pregnant."

Qingtong blinked in confusion: Isn't that a good thing?Why call for help?Could it be that Concubine Xiao Gui is in poor health and cannot conceive a child?

She was thinking wildly, but seeing the serious faces of Lu Xinyan and Bai Zhi, her heart became even more strange.

Jian Jia bit her lip, "The child... belongs to Captain Leng."

Qingtong gasped, Captain Leng, isn't that Leng Xun?The child in Concubine Xiao's belly belongs to Colonel Leng, which means that Concubine Xiao gave the emperor a cuckold! ?

Fuck!Concubine Xiao Gui and Leng Xun are too courageous! ?Qingtong was covered in cold sweat, just now Jian Jia said that if anything happened, she would die, but she didn't take it seriously, thinking what could kill everyone?

Now she knew that what Jian Jia said was not an exaggeration at all!Dare to cuckold the emperor, this will implicate the whole family!
Qingtong couldn't help but clutched her neck and looked at Lu Xinyan, but she saw that Lu Xinyan looked calm and didn't seem nervous at all, which made her secretly admire her!
No matter how big things happened, she never seemed to see Lu Xinyan flustered!
"Auntie, what are your plans?" Lu Xinyan asked calmly.

Xiao Qing opened her eyes in confusion, she thought that after hearing the news, Lu Xinyan would be too shocked to speak, or look at her with contempt, disgust and panic, and question her.But unexpectedly, Lu Xinyan just asked her calmly, what's her plan?

How do you plan?Xiao Qing involuntarily caressed her stomach, with a gentle and absent-minded expression on her face, she murmured in a low voice: "18 years ago, I betrayed him and fulfilled my duty as the daughter of the Xiao family, and kept the Duke of Zhen. I grew up under the shelter of my family, and the Xiao family is in trouble, so I am obliged! I don’t regret it, but I regret that I thought I could only continue the fate between me and him in the next life, but God’s accident happened, and it opened up so much. It's a joke! I don't know whether God is merciful to me and doesn't want me to regret for the rest of my life, or is it punishing me for my betrayal. But the Leng family has no one left, and this child is the only hope for the Leng family."

Leng Xun was seriously injured and disappeared, and it has been a month now. Everyone has said nothing on the surface, and they have not given up, but they have long been mentally prepared that Leng Xun may be dead.

"Zhuzhu, I want to keep him, can you help me?" Xiao Qing begged.

Before this moment, Xiao Qing was still hesitating. She knew that for the sake of everyone, she should choose to kill the child silently, as if the child had never appeared.

But she couldn't bear it, this was the child of the man she loved!Because of her, he has never stopped suffering all these years, and he may even have lost his life!

As the guardian family of the Xiao family, the Leng family has sacrificed their lives for the Xiao family for generations, and she couldn't bear to watch the Leng family die!

"Zhuzhu, I know, I'm selfish, I shouldn't keep him, but I..."

"Auntie, I'll help you." Lu Xinyan interrupted with a smile, "This is what the Xiao family owes you! You have dedicated your youth to the Xiao family, now let the Xiao family give you a free future."

From what Xiao Qing said just now, Lu Xinyan has already imagined a tragic love story of giving up her lover for the sake of the family.

"If the prosperity of a family is maintained by sacrificing the happiness of the children in the family, such prosperity will not last long." Lu Xinyan said: "My aunt must have made the decision without telling my dad. Now I have the opportunity to correct my mistakes. I think Dad will be very happy."

Her voice was unhurried, but extremely firm, and what she said warmed Xiao Qing's heart slightly.

"I didn't understand why Yichen chose you before, but now I understand." Xiao Qing said: "It is the Xiao family's honor to have a daughter-in-law like you."

Lu Xinyan smiled slightly, "Thank you, aunt, for the compliment! But aunt, the third prince..."

"The person I'm most sorry for is Sheng'er. I used to be indifferent to him, immersed in my own feelings, and never opened my heart to him. Let him have a mother as if he had no mother; now I want to leave him selfishly and let him go. He could have gone on a smoother path, but it has become difficult and dangerous." Xiao Qing said quietly: "It is rare in the world to have the best of both worlds. If I have to blame someone in the end, I can only choose to lose Sheng'er. Without me, Sheng'er And you, but he..."

Xiao Qing's eyes stayed on her stomach, "It's only me."

"I understand, aunt." Lu Xinyan said: "The third prince has a kind heart and has never been in contact with the worst side of human nature. If he wants to inherit the great rule in the future, it may not be a bad thing for him to experience more trials and tribulations!"

"You don't need to comfort me." Xiao Qing said: "If you lose, you lose. Since I have made a choice, no matter whether he blames me or hates me after he finds out, I will accept it."

"My aunt can think so, and I'm relieved."

After Lu Xinyan asked Bai Zhi to take Xiao Qing's pulse, she gave a few words of advice, and then left, "Auntie, please rest, after Bai Zhi has prepared the medicine, I will find another chance to enter the palace."

"Jian Jia, send Zhuzhu out."

"No need." Lu Xinyan stopped, "I've been to this palace many times, and I'm already familiar with it. Auntie, you are different now. I can rest assured that Jian Jia is by your side."

Xiao Qing was also polite, "Then you should be careful."

Not long after Lu Xinyan walked out of Ganquan Palace with Bai Zhiqingtong, she ran into Wu Sheng again.

She looked at Wu Sheng who was coming from a distance, and remembered Xiao Qing's choice, and couldn't help feeling a little pity for Wu Sheng.

In Xiao Qing's mind, Wu Sheng's birth was just to consolidate the status of the Zhen Guo government, not the expectation and continuation of love.On the contrary, his existence reminds Xiao Qing of her betrayal of Leng Xun all the time.

Lu Xinyan can understand Xiao Qing's estrangement from Wu Sheng, which is probably the best way she thinks not to hurt each other.

But from Wu Sheng's point of view, how innocent is he?He has no way to choose his birth, and can only be forced to suffer the injustice of fate.He didn't even know why his mother didn't like him, and he tried every means to please his mother like an ordinary child who wanted his mother's love.

However, he didn't know that his existence itself was a mistake, and no matter what he did, nothing could be changed.

When Wu Sheng got closer, Lu Xinyan felt that the current him was like a teenager growing up in adolescence, and when he saw him every few days, his temperament and demeanor were very different.

He was wearing a light blue costume, embroidered with delicate and complicated patterns, and a golden crown and jade belt. He was very noble, and the royal aura on his body became more and more obvious.

That appearance seemed to be a little more resolute than before, showing a bit of a mature man's spirit.And those eyebrows and eyes became deeper and deeper, like an ancient well, bottomless, with a bit of refreshing coolness.

Lu Xinyan gradually put away the pity in her heart.

"Sister-in-law." Wu Sheng approached, smiled and said, "How are you doing recently?"

The way he smiled, he still vaguely looked like a sunny and innocent boy before.

"Thank you, Third Prince, for your concern, everything is fine." Lu Xinyan said lightly.

Wu Sheng looked Lu Xinyan up and down without hesitation, and when Lu Xinyan felt slightly uncomfortable, Wu Sheng's eyes moved elsewhere.

"My cousin is pregnant, you should eat more. I see that you seem to be thinner than last time." Wu Sheng maintained the smile just now, "There are a lot of medicinal herbs in the palace, and I will let someone give you some medicine tomorrow." Send some over."

Lu Xinyan frowned secretly when she heard this, although Wu Sheng called her a cousin, but men and women are different, he, an unmarried prince, gave her medicinal herbs to nourish her body, what do people think?
"The third prince's kindness is appreciated, and my aunt has already given me some." Lu Xin Yan pointed out: "The third prince has a noble status, so please don't worry too much about such trivial matters."

Wu Sheng didn't seem to understand the meaning behind the words, he smiled and said: "My cousin is not an outsider, this is just a trivial matter, don't worry about it."

"Third Prince." Lu Xinyan frowned, her voice was a bit harsh, "Although you and I are relatives, there are differences between men and women. There are certain things to say, so please be careful in your words and deeds!"

"Biao sister-in-law seems to have become boring." Wu Sheng was scolded, neither restrained nor annoyed, with a playful smile on his lips, "In the past, I, cousin Xiao, cousin Gongsun, and Li Yu were invited by my cousin , go to the wedding yard of you and Gong Shizi, eat barbecue and hot pot. At that time, I didn’t hear my cousin say anything about the difference between men and women. Now that I’m married to Cousin Xiao, why are there more rules?”

He didn't wait for Lu Xinyan to say anything, and said to himself: "Is it because Cousin Xiao doesn't allow you to have contact with other men? If so, then Cousin Xiao is too selfish. A strange woman like cousin sister-in-law should be with men Let's chat and laugh happily together, talk about the past and the present, instead of having children in the backyard and burying this talent for life!"

Lu Xinyan interrupted coldly, "Third Prince, are you accusing me of not being a woman?"

Wu Sheng shook his head, "Cousin, I'm complaining for you."

"Don't worry about the third prince! I know best how to live my own life, and I don't need others to tell me what to do!"

"Biao sister-in-law is accusing me of being nosy?"

Wu Sheng's voice cooled down, and he stared directly at Lu Xinyan, his eyes were cold and sharp, and the aura of heavenly aristocrats was released inadvertently, faintly making people dare not look at him directly.

If any other woman was shocked by this momentum, her legs would already be weak by this time.

Lu Xinyan looked at Wu Sheng without fear, as if she wanted to see from his eyes what he meant!
But Wu Sheng laughed again, his momentum subsided, and he instantly turned back to the safe and harmless third prince, "I was bound by this identity before, and I didn't dare to think about or do many things, and because I was young, I didn't know what I wanted to do." What, so I missed some opportunities in vain! Now I know that what identity is responsible for the eyes of others is not worth talking about! As a man, you should be like Cousin Xiao. When you meet what you like and want, you should work hard. Go for it!"

He smiled innocently, but his eyes were faintly aggressive, Lu Xinyan's heart skipped a beat, "The things you want can't be obtained by just working hard, you have to look at a word of fate, it's not yours." , I can’t force it. Xiao Shizi can get what he wants because of fate.”

"Who says it's not? But this fate is too wonderful. Until the end, no one knows who is destined to whom." Wu Sheng laughed: "And there is no fate, but there is power."

Lu Xinyan was stunned, "What does the third prince mean by this?"

Wu Shengdao: "I heard that before my mother and concubine entered the palace, there was a childhood sweetheart. Later, my grandfather died and my uncle was paralyzed. In order to rule the government, the mother and concubine chose the father emperor separately from her lover. Cousin, look, mother concubine There was no fate with the emperor father, but because of the power, the two had a fate. And the concubine mother and her lover had a fate, but because of the power, they had to cut off that fate!"

Lu Xinyan was startled, did Wu Sheng know about Xiao Qing and Leng Xun?
She was about to make a sound to test, when a familiar clear voice came from not far away, "Third prince, why are you here? Let the little girl find it easier!"

Lu Xinyan couldn't help turning her head to look, and saw a woman in purple walking through the gazebo at the end of the winding path on the right.

When their eyes met, Lu Xinyan was taken aback.

That purple-clothed woman turned out to be Su Zi.

How could she be in the palace?How did you know Wu Sheng?

Su Zi's dress today is much more grand than that day in the underground palace. The light purple wide-sleeved hang brocade short jacket is paired with a dark purple floral skirt. She has exquisite makeup, luxurious hairpins on her head, and a dangling ring around her waist. She is elegant and dignified and beautiful. .

With a decent smile on his face, his waist straightened, and his hands on his waist, his posture is very extraordinary, comparable to the aura of a lady in the palace, and a little more natural than Su Zi, the great lady in Jiang Lin. Extravagance.

Like Su Zi but not quite, Lu Xinyan was in a daze for a moment.

"Third prince, this is..." the woman asked, the surprise at seeing Lu Xinyan just now seemed to be the surprise of meeting a strange woman here.

"This is Princess Zhuzhu, the wife of the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo." Wu Sheng introduced: "Sister-in-law, this is Ms. Qin Ziqin, the eldest daughter of the Qin University scholar family. It is not suitable to be with parents and close relatives, so I have been raising it in Zhuangzi, and I only came back last month."

"Meet the princess!" Qin Zi saluted generously, and praised without hesitation: "The princess is so good-looking, really a fairy."

"Miss Qin is naturally beautiful, a rare beauty, but she looks like a lady I know." Lu Xinyan said: "I wonder if Miss Qin has ever been to Jianglin?"

Qin Zi said: "My mother's Zhuangzi is in a small town in Ganshan, not far from Jianglin, but the rules at home are strict and no running around is allowed, so there is no chance to go."

"No wonder Miss Qin's accent sounds familiar." Lu Xinyan smiled slightly, "Third Prince, Miss Qin, don't disturb the two of you talking, there are still things at home, so I will take my leave first."

"Cousin sister-in-law (the princess walks slowly)."

After Lu Xinyan turned to leave, she vaguely heard Wu Sheng's voice from behind, "My prince came out of changing clothes just now, and found that the scenery here is nice. I forgot the agreement with Miss Qin for a while, please forgive me."

Then came Qin Zi's voice, because her voice was quiet, I didn't hear what she said, but it was nothing more than nothing.

After leaving the palace and getting into the carriage, Qingtong couldn't help but asked: "Miss, that Qin Zi is obviously Su Zi! How did she become the eldest daughter of a scholar family of the University of Qin? How could she be with the third prince?" Together? The third prince won't have a crush on her, will he? But from what the third prince said just now, it's clear..."

Bai Zhi pulled her quickly, and Qingtong swallowed the rest of her words.

Lu Xinyan said: "The name of Qin Zi seems to be on the third prince's concubine selection list. At that time, I saw the names of Qing Ruo and A Xue, and my mind was a little confused. I just glanced at it casually, but it should be right. A concubine candidate will go to the palace to meet the empress dowager and the third prince every once in a while, which is considered an early test, and it probably just happens to be her turn today."

"Then is she Su Zi?" Qingtong is most concerned about this question.

"Some temperaments can be trained, but they are also near Jianglin. They look so similar, I can't believe they are two people." Lu Xinyan said: "Qin Zi is Su Zi."

"Then should we tell the third prince? Su Zi is the eldest prince's person now, and the first prince let her get close to the third prince, and he is obviously uneasy and kind. What if the third prince is confused by her?" Qingtong became more and more disturbed, " You should expose her face to face just now!"

"Su Zi is not an ordinary woman. She dared to appear as Qin Zi openly. She is sure that all the evidence has been dealt with cleanly. If she speaks out rashly, she will only ask for trouble." Lu Xinyan recalled Wu Sheng's strange words and actions, Even more headache, "Third Prince's current state, even if I tell him, I don't know if he will believe it."

If Wu Sheng was still the previous Wu Sheng, Lu Xinyan would have pulled him aside just now and spoke out.But Wu Sheng was no longer the previous Wu Sheng. Not only was she worried that if she told her, Wu Sheng would not believe him, but she was also worried that Wu Sheng would have some strange thoughts.

What was originally an uncomplicated matter suddenly became stuck in the throat.

Lu Xinyan had never encountered such a situation, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

Qingtong was a little bit unwilling, "Then miss, let that Su Zi get close to the third prince?"

"Of course not." Lu Xinyan supported her forehead and said weakly, "Let me think about this matter again."

Not long after they left, Qin Zi or Su Zi also left the palace.

When she bid farewell to Wu Sheng, she smiled and said Yan Yan was generous and decent. As soon as she got out of the palace and got into the carriage, her complexion immediately became ugly.

Su Zi didn't expect to meet Lu Xinyan in the palace so soon.

After arriving in the capital, she went so smoothly that it was unbelievable that she once felt that the past when she came to the capital from Jianglin, and those escape-like pasts, were all the ordeals set by God to test her.Now that the test has been passed, all hardships have come to an end.

At that time, when she was approaching the capital, she met Ah Zhu, that delicate and beautiful little girl who followed Lu Xinyan.She heard Ah Zhu arguing with a white-haired man about not going back to Beizhou.Su Zi's heart was moved at that time, Beizhou was the territory of King Rui, and Azhu was from Beizhou, also known as Lu Xinyan's sister. Could it be that Lu Xinyan or Xiao Yichen had a connection with Beizhou?
Although Su Zi is smart, but Su Sheng is not a senior official and lives in Jianglin, so he doesn't know much about the situation of the entire imperial court, so Su Zi also has only a half-knowledge.But she was sensitively aware that this was a very important clue.

She drew a portrait of Azhu and the white-haired man, and when she arrived in the capital, she used this as a stepping stone to contact Gongsun Mobai.

Half a month later, Su Zi saw Wuyuan, and only then did she know that Su Sheng's real target was not Gongsun Mobai, but Wuyuan.

Wu Yuan gently told her about her achievements this time.

After receiving the portraits of Ah Zhu and the white-haired man from her, Wuyuan immediately sent pigeons to the spies in Beizhou to find out their identities.

The spies soon found out that the two came from Prince Rui's Mansion, and they didn't know that there was a woman hiding in Prince Rui's Mansion without a princess or concubine.

The spies immediately drew the portrait, Fei Ge passed the letter back to the capital, and Wu Yuan immediately recognized the woman in the painting: it was Lin Ruyue, the deceased former wife of Ankangbo Mansion and the mother of Lu Xinyan, Princess Zhuzhu!
After Wuyuan was taken aback, he quickly conducted further investigations, and soon found a series of astonishing information.But after finding out something, Wu Yuan didn't tell Su Zi, but only told Su Zi that she was a person who could bring luck.

Then Su Zi became Wuyuan's confidant in this way, knew most of Wuyuan's plans, and had a legitimate new identity: Qin Zi, the candidate for the third prince and concubine.

At first, Su Zi was a bit repulsive to the candidate of the third prince concubine. After all, Wuyuan's purpose was so clear, and the ambition and strength he showed shocked and convinced Su Zi!If everything goes well, Wu Yuan will be the next one to aspire to the throne!
She is a candidate for the third imperial concubine, if the third prince accidentally takes a fancy to her and marries her, when Wuyuan ascends the throne, although her life is safe, how will she handle herself in the rest of her life?Neither Wuyuan nor Gongsun Mobai would accept an unchaste woman.

But Su Zi couldn't refuse, Qin Zi's perfectly fitting identity was hard to come by.And Wuyuan didn't specifically ask her to use some kind of beauty trick to confuse the third prince and drive a wedge between the third prince and the government of Zhen Guo.She probably also thought that sooner or later she would meet Lu Xinyan and be identified, so she didn't make any unnecessary arrangements.

So Su Zi decided to hide herself, so as not to let the third prince have any interest in her.

But Su Zi never expected that from the first time she saw Wu Sheng, her heart would be moved.

The man who is mixed with greenness and maturity, innocence and stability, sunshine and sternness, delicacy and decadence, that kind of strong and wonderful conflicts and contradictions, attracted her like poppies.

She couldn't help but want to get closer and show her most beautiful everything in front of him.

Su Zi is very confident in herself. She is smart, beautiful, and considerate. Even in front of Yuan Xianer, the number one beauty in Ganshan, she never felt that she was inferior to Yuan Xianer.After all, what a woman can really make a man obsessed with is not just her looks.

She entered the palace a few times, and she thought she had a very happy conversation with Wu Sheng, because she could see his unabashed appreciation for her from Wu Sheng's words and eyes.

Su Zi was very happy and happy, and felt that the capital city was simply her blessed land.Wu Yuan is secretly the most hopeful person to inherit the throne, and Wu Sheng is the next heir to the great line that everyone expects on the surface.As long as she handles it properly, no matter who wins or loses in the future, she, Su Zi, will become a master!

But from the day when the underground palace was destroyed, Su Zi felt that things were going wrong for her.

Out of nowhere, a Lord Long appeared and destroyed the underground palace without saying a word. Although Wuyuan didn't blame her in the end, he could feel that he was somewhat dissatisfied with her.In addition, Lin Ruyue's problem has not been resolved, although it has nothing to do with her, but Wu Yuan is in a bad mood, so naturally he has no good face towards her.

Entering the palace today, Su Zi dressed up meticulously, and wanted to find some comfort from Wu Sheng.But who knows, Wu Sheng was absent-minded from the very beginning for some reason today.

She asked him openly and secretly if he encountered any difficulties, and she was willing to listen to him and help share his worries.However, Wu Sheng kept talking about other things, casually perfunctory, and later simply used changing clothes as an excuse, and never returned.

Su Zi felt faintly uneasy in her heart, disregarding the rules of not walking around in private in the palace, she found a reason to come out to find Wu Sheng, and put aside the maids following behind.It turned out that he didn't know who he was talking to for a long time.

It was a little far away, and I couldn't hear what they were talking about. I only knew that it was a woman who was talking to Wu Sheng.

But where she was, she could only see Wu Sheng, but not the person in front of him.

So Su Zi became more and more uneasy. Although she couldn't see Wu Sheng's expression clearly, she could clearly feel the difference between Wu Sheng and that woman when they spoke.

That sharp, aggressive, and probing attitude was a completely different Wu Sheng when he was with her.

Only then did she realize that Wu Sheng's so-called appreciation for her was just a polite gesture driven by his good upbringing.Now he is showing his true emotions.

Su Zi couldn't help calling the third prince, and then saw the person she didn't want to meet at all, and she couldn't believe it: Lu Xinyan.

The countless rehearsals she had done in private before, this moment played a role. Although her mind was messed up and countless voices were screaming, she still performed herself decently and impeccably.

After Lu Xinyan left, Su Zi pretended to be joking and said: "The third prince won't get lost in the palace, right? After going away for so long and not coming back, the little girl was worried for a while, so she took the liberty to come out to look for it."

Wu Sheng answered her in this way: "My prince came out of changing clothes just now, and found that the scenery here is pretty good. I forgot the agreement with Miss Qin for a while, please forgive me."

That road is the most common road in the palace. If it wasn't for the repairs in the palace, few people usually walk there, but Wu Sheng said that the scenery is beautiful!

Su Zi knew at that moment that Wu Sheng had deliberately come across Lu Xinyan by chance!At that time, she deeply understood Yuan Xian'er's jealousy of Lu Xinyan before: she really wished she would disappear from now on!And tear up her face!

The carriage shook, and Su Zi came back to her senses, but a vicious look gradually appeared in her eyes.

...

Back at the Duke of Zhen's mansion, when she was about to reach the Yuexin Courtyard, Lu Xinyan ran into Mrs. Jiang.

Jiang's complexion was as ruddy and delicate as ever, and she seemed uncomfortable seeing Lu Xin's face.

"My daughter-in-law has seen her mother." Lu Xinyan saluted.

Jiang said: "You are pregnant, so you don't need to be polite."

Lu Xinyan lowered her eyes, "Thank you, mother."

The two of them had nothing in common to talk about, and when they quieted down after saying hello, the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Just as Lu Xinyan was about to leave, Jiang coughed, "I made two dishes myself, to nourish your body, take them back and taste them."

Lu Xinyan raised her head in surprise, only to find that Nanny Sheng behind Mrs. Jiang was holding a food box in her hand.

Nanny Sheng brought the food box over, and Lu Xinyan signaled Qingtong to take it, "Thank you mother, my wife will use it well."

Jiang said: "I'm not good at cooking. I don't know if it suits your taste. If you can't eat it, don't force it. I'll go first."

"Understood mother." Seeing that Mrs. Jiang was about to leave, Lu Xinyan couldn't help but said: "Mother, Wushi powder is not good for your health, you should stop taking it. If you feel uncomfortable, my wife will let Bai Zhi take a look at it for you."

Jiang's face showed displeasure, "What kind of five stones are scattered, what kind of discomfort, I don't know what you said. It's okay, you are tired just after you came back from the palace, go back and have a good rest."

After finishing speaking, he stopped talking to Lu Xinyan and left with Nanny Sheng.

Qingtong couldn't help muttering, "This lady is also weird."

Mrs. Jiang sent a dish of braised pork trotters with soybeans and a bowl of chicken soup, which should have just been served when touched.

It is not difficult to do these two things, the key is to have patience, the pig's trotters cannot be eaten without stewing for two or three hours.

Lu Xinyan took a sip and it melted in the mouth. It seemed that the heat was enough, and she must have gotten up early in the morning to prepare.

"Ma'am, it's really strange, she was so fierce before, but now she's showing kindness like this." Qingtong said again.

Lu Xinyan ate up slowly, but didn't say anything.

After eating and resting for a while, Lu Xinyan went to Su Yuan to look for Xiao Yan.

She had to tell Xiao Yan about Xiao Qing.

As soon as she arrived outside the Su courtyard, she saw Ming Lan pouring out something, so Lu Xinyan asked casually, "Aunt Lan, what are you doing?"

Ming Lan's subordinates paused for a moment, and then said softly, "This is the side dishes and soup that Madam sent over. The Duke ordered the servants to pour them out."

Lu Xinyan took a look, the bowl of chicken soup was indeed familiar. In fact, although Xiao Qing's cooking skills are average, it is not hard to swallow. Xiao Yan's method...

"It's always been handled like this before." Ming Lan said.

Well, it's not easy for her to comment on matters between husband and wife!Lu Xinyan said: "Father is here, I have something to look for him."

"Yes, this servant will take you there."

"No need, Aunt Lan, you are busy, I will go there by myself."

"The servant girl is going to prepare some refreshments." Ming Lan said.

"Thank you, Aunt Lan."

Xiao Yan was reading a book at this time, with a smile on his lips, he could see that he was in a good mood, and when he saw Lu Xinyan, he smiled even more.

He put down the book in his hand, "Zhuzhu is here, come and sit down."

"Father, Zhuzhu has something to tell you." Lu Xinyan glanced at Chen Yong not far away.

Although she acted like nothing happened in front of Xiao Qing, she knew the seriousness of the matter better than anyone else.

The less one person knows, the less danger there will be.

Chen Yong bid farewell tactfully.

Seeing Lu Xinyan's solemn expression, Xiao Yan slowly withdrew the smile on his face, "Zhuzhu, what happened?"

Lu Xinyan said directly: "Father, my aunt is pregnant, and the child belongs to Uncle Leng."

"What?" Xiao Yan was so startled that he almost fell off the wheelchair.

"My aunt wants to keep the child, so I decided to help her." Lu Xinyan said, "This is owed to her by the Duke of Zhen Guo."

"How could she, how could they, do such stupid things?!" Xiao Yan didn't hear what Lu Xinyan said behind him, his whole body was immersed in the matter of Xiao Qing and Leng Xun's meager pregnancy, trembling with anger.

Xiao Yan is a man of this era, loyal and loyal, Xiao Qing and Leng Xun's actions are not only deceiving the emperor, but also betraying.

Coupled with Jiang's matter, Xiao Yan felt the same, and became even more furious.

Lu Xinyan suddenly realized that she had overlooked this point. Before, Xiao Yan was really unwilling to sacrifice Xiao Qing, but now Xiao Qing is already a member of the royal family, and with Wu Sheng, she will even soon become the queen of the lord of the six palaces!
Even if Xiao Yan didn't care about the honor that the Queen's position brought to Zhen Guo's government, would he go against his belief in loyalty to the emperor that had been deeply rooted in his bones for decades, and cover up and even help Xiao Qing who deceived the emperor and betrayed him?
