Chapter 334 Forcing Wu Sheng to show his trump card

Those who belonged to Wu Rui's faction didn't understand what Wu Sheng meant when he said this suddenly. If you choose a concubine, you choose a concubine. This is a matter for your royal family. Do you need to bring it up in the court?
After careful consideration, they thought they understood Wu Sheng's intentions.

The Yan family and the Qin family are fine, but the key is the Yao family.

Yao Xue is Long Tianxing's niece, and Long Tianxing regards her as his daughter and loves her very much.

If Wu Sheng made Yao Xue the third concubine, it would imperceptibly pull the Long family represented by Long Tianxing to his side.

Wu Rui has only himself, while Wu Sheng has Xiao Yichen and Long Tianxing.

Xiao Yichen alone, because of the relationship between Ah Zhu and Lu Xinyan, Wu Rui can handle it for the time being.

But if you add Long Tianxing, Wu Rui is absolutely no match for Wu Sheng.

People from Wu Rui's faction couldn't help but worry secretly.

"Third prince, the selection of your concubine is a private matter of the royal family, and it should not be discussed in court." Wu Rui frowned.

Wu Sheng didn't care about being criticized, he cupped his hands and said humbly: "What the emperor taught me is that the emperor's nephew just blurted out when he had a hard time making a decision, so let's pretend that the emperor's nephew didn't say what he said just now."

The mistake was admitted so quickly, it seemed to be deliberately said to others.Not only did it not reassure the people of Wu Rui's faction, but they felt even more uneasy.

The third prince is no longer the innocent and naive third prince in the past. It is probably more difficult for them to support Wu Rui to ascend to the throne than they imagined.

Lu Ziyi's mind went blank after Wu Sheng said the words of Concubine Lizheng and Concubine Li.

To be honest, he always felt that he only treated Yan Qingruo as his younger sister.

She pestered him, forcing him to marry her. He thought that he didn't have a girl he liked anyway, and he would get married sooner or later.And if Yan Qing was on good terms with Lu Xinyan again, she thought she was a pretty good girl, so she passively accepted it.

If he can get a good ranking in the palace examination, then he will do what she wishes, and try to propose marriage in Shangyan Mansion.

If Yan Shangshu agrees, then he will marry her. If he does not agree, he has not violated his promise to her.

But now, Lu Ziyi realized that if Yan Qing was a member of the list of concubines of the third prince Wu Sheng, it was not just a formality as they thought.

Now that Wu Sheng has expressed his attitude in public, if Yan Qing is either the main concubine or the side concubine, Lu Ziyi suddenly feels very uncomfortable.

It was as if something originally belonged to him, although he thought it was dispensable, but in the end he found that it was not his at all.

Not dispensable, but out of reach.

Lu Ziyi felt lost.

What Wu Rui, Wu Sheng, and the ministers said later, Lu Ziyi only saw their mouths opening and closing, but didn't listen to a word.

It wasn't until Liu Han who was behind him gave him a push that he knew that the palace examination was over and they wanted to thank them and go back.

The surprise of winning the No. [-] Scholar was quickly downplayed by Yan Qingruo's plan to become the third concubine or side concubine, which made Lu Ziyi feel even more uncomfortable than before not winning the No. [-] Scholar.

On Lu Xinyan's birthday that day, Yan Qingruo whispered to him that she was waiting outside the palace on the day of the palace examination, waiting to hear the good news as soon as possible.

Lu Ziyi said at the time: "Why are you waiting outside the palace? You can go to Chang'an Princess Palace and wait."

Yan Qingruo smiled and said, "Because I want to be the first to bless you!"

Now that Lu Ziyi was suddenly afraid of going out of the palace, he didn't know how to tell Yan Qingruo, he was afraid that she would be overwhelmed with surprise and then disappointment.

However, all of this cannot be escaped.

Lu Ziyi walked out of the palace gate with difficulty, but Yan Qingruo stayed outside as promised.

Seeing him coming out, she flicked her skirt and ran towards him happily.

She was wearing an orange-red skirt and a crescent-colored cloak, beautiful and lovely, lively and innocent.

The steps above her head fluttered back and forth like butterflies as she ran.

The slightly baby-fat face was painted with light makeup, with a rare girlish look.

Lu Ziyi discovered for the first time that Yan Qingruo was so good-looking.

"Brother Yi." Yan Qingruo ran in front of him, because of running, her little face was flushed with blush, her eyes were shining brightly, and she became more and more beautiful.

Lu Ziyi didn't dare to meet her expectant eyes, and turned her eyes elsewhere.

If Yan Qing saw him like this, she thought that her grades in the imperial examination were not good, her eyes dimmed, and soon she returned to normal.

"Brother Yi, it doesn't matter. To be able to take part in the imperial examination, the worst thing you can do is to be a Jinshi. At your age, you are already very good at high school." Yan Qingruo comforted.

"Miss Yan" Lu Ziyi looked at her with complicated emotions, not knowing how to speak.

"I'll take care of them with my grandfather. If they don't agree, I'll say that I've twisted my hair to be my sister-in-law." Yan Qingruo raised her small face and said with a smile, "There must be a way from the mountain to the car. As long as I don't Give up, Brother Yi doesn't give up, God will let us get what we want."

Her eyes were so firm, she firmly believed in her choice.Lu Ziyi's nose was sore, she felt that she was so useless and not good enough for her.

"Miss Yan," Lu Ziyi didn't know how to say the next sentence, "Just now the third prince announced at the Hall of Valor that you, Miss Yao, and Miss Qin will be the future third concubine and side concubine .”

"What? Are you kidding me?" Yan Qingruo blinked incredulously, "I told my cousin Chang'an that she should tell the third prince not to choose me. Cousin Chang'an said that the third prince had already agreed! How could it be possible to say so suddenly? Want to choose me as concubine?"

Lu Ziyi gave a wry smile, and said with difficulty: "I'm not the only one who heard this, all civil and military officials in the court heard it, including your grandfather."

"It's too much! I want to ask my cousin Chang'an to find out!" Yan Qingruo was furious, "Brother Yi, don't worry, I said I would marry you, and I would never marry someone else! If the third prince really wants to Marry me, let him marry my corpse!"

"Miss Yan, don't be impulsive!" Lu Ziyi wanted to stop her, but Yan Qingruo was already rushing towards the palace.

She was a frequent visitor in the palace, and the palace guards didn't dare to stop her, so they let her in directly.

Lu Ziyi stared at that pretty figure in despair, and disappeared into the deep palace wall, standing there, unable to move for a long time.

Wu Zhen has been following the news of the Hall of Valor, and when she heard that Lu Ziyi was hand-picked as the number one scholar, she almost wanted to cheer for Yan Qingruo.

But then Wu Sheng wanted to accept the news that Yan Qingruo was his concubine, and immediately poured her heart out like a pot of cold water.

"Song Zhao, did you hear me right?" Wu Zhen couldn't believe it, "How could Brother San Huang marry Qing Ruo?"

"Princess, the servants didn't believe it at first, and asked several people, and it was absolutely true."

Wu Zhen sat back on the chair and murmured: "How could this happen? If Qingruo finds out, she won't overturn the sky."

Yan Qingruo is usually joking, laughing and fussy, with a carefree look, but she has always been very clear about what she wants.

She is the youngest in the family, and she is loved by her grandparents, grandparents, and several older brothers.

Now she has taken a fancy to Lu Ziyi, no matter what Lu Ziyi's identity is, she has identified him.

We already had a chance to be together, but now we are told that Wu Sheng is going to marry her, how can Yan Qingruo accept this?
"No, I have to ask brother Sanhuang what's going on!"

If she didn't ask clearly first, Yan Qingruo would be the first to blow up her Fengyang Palace.

Wu Zhen couldn't sit still for a moment, she got up and walked outside, causing Song Zhao to scream behind her.

"Princess, walk slowly, wait for the servant girl!"

Halfway through the walk, before reaching Wu Sheng's palace, I first met Yan Qingruo, seeing her murderous look, Wu Zhen hurriedly said: "Qing Ruo, don't get excited, I'll go to Brother Sanhuang to confirm now, maybe He said the wrong name."

"I will go with you!"

"No! How dare you, a girl, have the nerve to ask such a thing?" Wu Zhen hurriedly stopped, she was really afraid that Yan Qingruo would do something inappropriate if Wu Sheng confessed.

The current Wu Sheng is not the previous Wu Sheng.

I can't guarantee whether Yan Qingruo's inappropriate actions will trigger a series of adverse reactions.

"You go to Fengyang Palace and wait for me!" Wu Zhen said, "Song Zhao, take Qing Ruo back, I asked Brother Sanhuang to come back soon."

"Cousin Chang'an, I want to go with you all the time!" Yan Qing refused, but Song Zhao and the two maids held her tightly and took her to Fengyang Palace by force.

Wu Zhen quickly found Wu Sheng, and when she saw her, she asked out of breath, "Brother San Huang, about Qing Ruo."

Before she finished asking, Wu Sheng said directly: "That's right, Yan Qingruo, Yao Xue, and Qin Zi will be my main concubine and two side concubines."

"Brother Sanhuang!" Wu Zhen, who heard Wu Sheng's confession, was still shocked, "I told you before, Qingruo doesn't like living in the palace, and her temperament is not suitable for staying in the palace. You promised I will not choose her!"

"One moment and another moment." Wu Sheng said, "I didn't care whether I chose Miss Yan or not, but I can't tolerate people on the list of the third concubine rejecting me because they like other men!"

"Chang'an, only I have the right to reject them, they don't!"

"Brother Sanhuang!" Hearing these words, Wu Zhen realized that she almost didn't know Wu Sheng.

But how did Wu Sheng know that Yan Qingruo liked Lu Ziyi?

In order to take care of the royal family's face, Yan Qingruo didn't even tell her family members, Wu Zhen can assure that there are no more than five people who know about it.

"It's useless to say what you say about this matter," Wu Sheng said.

Wu Zhen blurted out, "Then who said it would be useful?"

A mysterious and unpredictable smile appeared on Wu Sheng's face, which made Wu Zhen's heart skip a beat when she thought she was thinking too much.

Who is going to tell Wu Sheng about this, so that Wu Sheng can change his mind?

Before Wu Zhen could ask any more questions, Wu Sheng had already left.

She had no choice but to go back to Fengyang Palace and tell Yan Qingruo exactly what Wu Sheng had said.

Yan Qingruo burst into tears, "How could the third prince do this? If he feels ashamed, I'll kowtow to him to admit his mistake and beg him to forgive me! Why does he make fun of my happiness? He doesn't like me, why does he insist on marrying me?" Me? Woo~"

She cried without hesitation, and Wu Zhen's eardrums hurt from the shock, "Qing Ruo, don't cry, you won't be able to solve the problem if you cry any more. Why don't you think about it, who knows that you like Mr. Lu. Go beg them , let them help to intercede."

Yan Qingruo wiped away tears, "Cousin Chang'an is right! I'm going to beg them now!"

Wu Sheng has already spoken, if Yan Qing is either the main concubine or the side concubine, I am afraid that after returning, Mrs. Yan will never let her out again.

So Yan Qingruo must finish everything today.

"Cousin Chang'an, I'm leaving, I'll go find Sister Zhuzhu first!"

Beads?A bad premonition suddenly rose in Wu Zhen's heart, and she wanted to say something, but Yan Qingruo had already run far away.

She rubbed her temples, wishing she was thinking too much.

When Yan Qingruo found Lu Xinyan, Lu Xinyan was still immersed in the joy of Lu Ziyi winning the first prize.

When Mother Lu said that Yan Qingruo had come, she thought that Yan Qingruo had come to announce the good news.

As a result, Yan Qingruo burst into tears as soon as he entered.

Lu Xinyan was taken aback, "Qing Ruo, don't cry, tell me what happened?"

I was still thinking, could it be that Yan Qing was so happy because Lu Ziyi won the first prize and Yan Shangshu agreed to the two?
"Sister Zhuzhu, the third prince, the third prince..." Yan Qingruo wept uncontrollably.

When Lu Xinyan heard Wu Sheng's name, her heart skipped a beat, "Third prince, what's wrong with the third prince?"

"He said he wanted to marry me! Huh~"

"He wants to marry you?!" Lu Xinyan was shocked, "How is that possible?"

"Brother Yi heard what he said in front of all the ministers in the Hall of Valor, and Cousin Chang'an went to verify it in person!"

"Wait first, don't cry, I'll ask Cousin Liu about the situation." Lu Xinyan said.

Lu Ziyi was present, and so was Liu Han.

Lu Xinyan sent Qingtong to ask, and Liu Han quickly replied that what Yan Qingruo said was true.

Wu Sheng pointed out the names of Yao Xue, Yan Qingruo, and Qin Zi, indicating that he didn't know who should be the main concubine and who should be the side concubine.

Yan Qingruo was sobbing, "Sister Zhuzhu, you should believe me now. What should I do? I don't want to marry the Third Prince, I want to marry Brother Yi."

"The princess went to find the third prince, what did the third prince say? Why did he choose you?"

Yan Qingruo then told Wu Zhen, and Wu Sheng replied again.

"Cousin Chang'an said that the third prince said that her persuasion is useless, only other people's persuasion is useful. But I like brother Yi, only you, cousin Chang'an and elder brother know. Sister Zhuzhu, I can only come to beg you, please follow me The third prince told him not to marry me."

Lu Xinyan's heart tightened, did Wu Sheng do this on purpose, to force her to beg him?

As he himself admitted before, he deliberately wanted to use his power to intervene in Lu Ziyi's scientific research.

He tried every means to force her to beg him, and why?The answer seems self-evident.

"Qing Ruo, I know about this matter. When your brother-in-law Lu comes back, I will discuss it with him." Lu Xinyan said: "Don't worry, your matter is related to my elder brother's happiness, and I will definitely do my best to help you." .”

"Thank you Sister Zhuzhu, then I'll go back and wait for your good news." Yan Qingruo wiped away tears, looked at her obediently with wet eyes, as if pinning all her hopes on her.

Lu Xinyan suddenly felt a heavy burden on her shoulders, she touched Yan Qingruo's head, "The eyes are red and swollen, your family will notice the clues when you go back, wash your face before going back."

"Okay, Miss Zhuzhu."

Nanny Lu took Yan Qingruo down to wash her face, Lu Xinyan fell into deep thought.

At night, Xiao Yichen came back from the army, with a smile all over his face, while taking off his coat, he said: "Zhuzhu, congratulations, brother has graduated from high school."

Lu Xinyan gave a sleepy hum.

Xiao Yichen saw that her complexion was different, so he put his coat aside, walked to her side and sat down, and naturally put his arms around her shoulders, "Why are you unhappy? What happened?"

Lu Xinyan found a comfortable position in his arms, relaxed, put her left hand around his waist, "Qing Ruo came to see me this afternoon."

Xiao Yichen didn't interrupt, and quietly listened to what she said.

"The third prince said that he wanted to marry her, but she came to me and cried, asking me to come forward to intercede with the third prince."

The muscles of Xiao Yichen's whole body stiffened instantly, and then quickly relaxed, murderous aura flashed in his eyes.

He was silent for a while, "The third prince wants to marry her because of you?"

"The third prince knows about her and her elder brother, and hinted to the princess that others should ask him, maybe he will agree not to marry Qingruo." Lu Xinyan said: "Qingruo said that the only ones who know about this matter are me, the princess and her eldest brother." Yan Yulang."

"He wants to force you to beg him."

"Hmm." Lu Xinyan said softly, "I don't want to beg him. But I don't know what he will do next to force me to beg him."

She has too many people she cares about.

"The selection of concubines by the third prince is a matter for the royal family. Only the queen mother and King Rui can speak up now. The queen mother is not in good health and has no will, and the princess does not dare to disturb her with this matter. In case the third prince insists on his own opinion, only I'm afraid it will make the Empress Dowager even more sad. Now that one faction in the court supports the Third Prince and the other supports King Rui, King Rui's position on this matter is awkward, but it is difficult to come forward. Even if he does, the Third Prince may not listen."

Xiao Yichen said: "The third prince has no intention of marrying Miss Yan, but revealed his intention to marry Miss Yan in person. The purpose is to force you. If you don't go, he will definitely make the next move. Whoever he chooses to be his concubine is out of the control of outsiders. But His next move, or next move, there is always a step that outsiders can control."

"You mean to force him to show his flaws?" Lu Xinyan poked her head out of his arms.

"For my aunt's sake, I should have supported his ascension to the throne, but now it seems that it is absolutely impossible. The reason why I didn't express my position was because I was concerned that Auntie would be in his hands."

The A Niang in Xiao Yichen's mouth refers to Lin Ruyue.

The only person who can take Lin Ruyue away from Emperor Longde is Wu Sheng, this is beyond doubt.

It's just that in the past ten days, they searched all of Wu Sheng's private properties, but they couldn't find Lin Ruyue.

Lin Ruyue alone can contain Wu Rui and Lu Xinyan, and Lu Xinyan alone can contain the entire Zhen Guo government.

Before Lin Ruyue found him, no matter what Wu Sheng did, none of them dared to act rashly.

"We want to force him to show his last hole card." Xiao Yichen said.

Only by grabbing his hole card can he annihilate him in one fell swoop.

-

The eighth day of the lunar new year was the day when Long Tianxing made an appointment, and the person who came to deliver the dowry list was Lengge.

Lengge changed from the cold style of black clothes in the past, and wore a crimson brocade suit with a jade belt, giving him the air of an aristocrat.

It caused the maids in the Duke's mansion to look at her a few more times.

The dowry list was carved on ten jade tablets inlaid with gold edges, and the characters were carved and then traced with gold powder.

It took a lot of effort to just look at these ten jade carvings that were the size of two palms of a man.

Long Tianxing's sincerity can be seen in general.

"Wow, this alone can be exchanged for a lot of money, right?" Xing Luo asked curiously.

Lengge coughed and began to read the betrothal gifts on the employment form, from furniture, antiques, jewelry, jewelry, clothes, medicinal materials, land deeds, shops... a jade plaque for each item.

And just by hearing the name, you know it's worth a lot.

Everything that is taken out is estimated to be priceless.

Qingtong and the others were stunned, whispering how much silver they would have if they exchanged it for silver.

"I combed my hair." Xing Luo affirmed.

"Shu Yun will be a rich woman from now on." Xia knew, "Shu Yun, don't forget about us in the future."

"Wow, Sister Shuyun, there are so many betrothal gifts!" Xiao He was stunned.

Shu Yun was also stunned. He knew that Long Tianxing was rich, but he didn't expect to be so rich.

She thought to herself, Long Tianxing probably took out all his family property.

"I have a question." Qingtong rubbed her chin, "I heard that this girl got married, how much dowry she received, and how much dowry she got back. Where did this Shuyun get so much dowry?"

Lengge: Yes, someone finally got the point.

Xing Luoxiazhi and the others looked at each other, thinking that Shuyun is Miss's maid, could it be possible to let Miss out?
No matter how much Miss's family property is, she can't afford such consumption.

After all, the maids around her are not just Shuyun, although they don't care about it, but the young lady is not good at favoring one another.

"How can this be done?"

Seeing a few maids getting anxious, Lengge slowly took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve.

"Miss Shuyun, this is passed on to you privately by my master."

"What's here?" Xing Luo rushed to take it curiously.

After opening it for a look, he opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Xia Zhi moved his head closer and exclaimed "Wow".

"Master Long is so generous!"

It turned out that those few pieces of paper were from real estate shops, and they were actually a dowry for Shu Yun.

Look at the list of assets written on it, it is not inferior to the dowry gift.

In other words, when Long Tianxing marries Shuyun, he pays the dowry and the dowry.

Xing Luo Xiazhi was originally terrified of Long Tianxing, but now he is a little envious.

"If a man treats me like this, I will marry him without saying a word!"

Leng Ge's eyes flashed, and he actually listened to what the two said.

"Miss Qingtong, can I take a step to speak?"

Qingtong was looking at the dowry list at this moment and clicked her tongue, but didn't raise her head when she heard the words, "What's the matter?"

Leng Ge coughed, "Take a step to speak."

Qingtong was a little unhappy, "I knew about it last time, and I already told you, if you ask me again, I don't know."

How could this man be a mother-in-law? A question was asked over and over again.

The disgusted look in his eyes almost made Lengge back off, but how could he back off so easily as a majestic man? "It's not the last time, it's something else."

Qingtong handed the list to Shuyun, and hooked Lengge Haomai, "Come with me, if you have anything to ask, ask clearly at once."

Lengge happily followed.

The few people who were studying the dowry list didn't realize that there was any problem.

When he got outside, Qingtong saw that there was no one there, so he stopped, turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

An exquisite ruby ​​butterfly swing appeared in front of her eyes.

That step shaker is extremely exquisite in workmanship, and the gems are shining brightly, which looks quite valuable.

Qingtong raised her eyebrows, "Last time I wanted to use a broken hairpin to curry favor with Shuyun, but now this valuable one is not bad. But Commander Leng, why don't you give it to Shuyun yourself? Do you want me to give it to you instead?"

"Cough, Miss Qingtong misunderstood." Leng Ge's face was slightly hot, even though he had rehearsed it thousands of times in his heart, when he really wanted to say this sentence, Leng Ge still felt hot.

"I gave this to you, Miss Qingtong. I also planned to give you the jade hairpin from last time, because you didn't like it, so I changed it to this walking swing."

"For me?" Qingtong's face was full of doubts.

A big man shyly held up an exquisite walking swing, saying that he was going to give it to the woman in front of him. Anyone who saw this scene would know what it meant.

But Qingtong said: "Commander Leng, do you want to use this step to bribe me so that I can say something nice to you in front of Shuyun?"

Lengge:.
"You can buy me with a gift, but can you take some time for the gift you gave?"

Lengge: Where is he not distracted?Last time, she thought the jade hairpin she made by herself was ugly, but this time he specially chose the beautiful butterfly walk, why did he become indifferent again?
"Look at me, am I someone who knows how to wear Bu Yao?" Qing Tong pointed to herself.

She has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and she mainly dresses in strong clothes and hair.To her, that walking swing is simply tasteless, and it is not useful.

"Commander Leng, if you really want to buy me, why don't you just give me money." Qingtong said: "With money, I can just buy what I like."

Lengge originally thought that he really chose the wrong gift, but after listening to Qingtong's last two sentences.

He found,
It's not that he has a problem.

but this girl,
No root.

He did it so obviously that she thought he was going to bribe her to help her speak well in front of Shu Yun.

Lengge was thinking about how to speak more clearly, when he saw Qingtong wave his hand, "Forget it, seeing how you've been thinking about it for so long, you probably don't have enough money. Just pretend I didn't say what you just said. Look at you For the sake of sincerity, I will speak more good words for you in front of Shuyun later. It is free, no thanks. Let's go."

After finishing speaking, he left gracefully, leaving Lengge alone, standing there foolishly holding his feet.

He has been with Long Tianxing for more than ten years, and he never spends money by himself for eating, drinking and playing.

Long Tianxing is also a generous owner, usually rewards plus moon silver, Lengge feels that in the capital, he still has some money to buy a few houses as big as the Zhen Guogong Mansion.

But in the eyes of other girls, he has become a person who is not well-off!
Lengge suddenly felt aggrieved.

What might be done?
The girl I like, I have to chase after her even when she cries!
-

Sure enough, as Xiao Yichen expected, Wu Sheng waited for a few days, but Lu Xinyan took the initiative to intercede with him and took further action.

Delegate Lu Ziyi to work in Chuanzhou, a remote southwest region.

The number one scholars of all dynasties were all admitted to the Imperial Academy, where they received the post of editor.

Then someone raised an objection, and Wu Sheng said: "The champion of the new department is the brother-in-law of my prince's cousin. My prince has high hopes for him. I hope he can accumulate experience in Chuanzhou and become my prince's right-hand man in the future!"

The imperial court has always trained key talents like this. If they want to reuse someone, they will first be sent to some tricky state capitals for training.

But there are also some unlucky ones who failed to make political achievements, and even lost their lives.

Chuanzhou is a well-known place in the Southwest, not because it is rich, nor because there are any great talents there.

But there are the most bandits there. Over the years, five magistrates in Sichuan Province have been killed, and seven people have been seriously injured.

Every county magistrate could not survive for two years, and the only magistrate who survived for three years was later found to be in collusion with bandits.

Therefore, Chuanzhou is the most troublesome place in the southwest and even in Tianwu.

There used to be a popular joke among the ministers in the DPRK and China. If you hate someone, you can transfer him to Chuanzhou, and you will never return. If you don't die, your skin will peel off.

Everyone knows these things well, but who dares to say them in front of Wu Sheng?
Wu Sheng wants to transfer Lu Ziyi to Chuanzhou, whether he thinks highly of him or wants to punish him is unknown.

The ministers could only sigh in their hearts: the emperor's mind is unpredictable.

After Lu Xinyan found out about this, she immediately sent someone to notify Yan Yulang, so as not to let Yan Qingruo know about it.

At the same time, someone immediately invited Lu Ziyi to Zhen Guogong's mansion and asked Lu Ziyi what he thought.

Lu Ziyi pondered for a moment, "Whether the third prince is intentional or not, I am not afraid to go to Chuanzhou. A man has made great achievements, that's how he should be. You can't easily back down as soon as you find it difficult."

"Brother, don't you know the danger in Chuanzhou? You don't think about yourself, you have to think about your mother."

Lu Ziyi smiled and said, "No matter how dangerous it is, can it compare to my brother-in-law fighting the enemy with swords and guns on the battlefield?"

This is true, Lu Xinyan was speechless.

Lu Ziyi said: "Zhuzhu, don't underestimate me, brother, I'm not bad. Although I'm not as good as my brother-in-law and the others, I'm still more than enough to deal with a dozen bandits!"

"If brother insists on going, I will ask Shizi Xiao to find a few martial arts experts to be your guards, and go to Chuanzhou with you, and then let Bai Zhi prepare some medicine for self-defense."

Lu Ziyi didn't give in, "Zhuzhu is thoughtful, so I'll thank you first."

"But brother, what about Qing Ruo?"

Hearing Yan Qingruo mentioned again, Lu Ziyi found that her heart was more blocked than before.

"She is about to become the third concubine or side concubine." Lu Ziyi's tone could not hide her loneliness.

Lu Xinyan originally thought that if Lu Ziyi didn't care much about Yan Qing, she might have a good impression of Yan Qing, but it was not enough to make her heart ache after losing it.

The reason why she agreed with Yan Qingruo and Lu Ziyi before was more because of Yan Qingruo's persistence.

But now looking at Lu Ziyi like this, Lu Xinyan realized that she was wrong.

"Brother," she tentatively said, "You treat Qing Ruo."

"not fated."

The simple four words express the unspeakable helplessness and sadness in my heart.

"You didn't agree to go to Chuanzhou because of Qingruo, did you!?" Lu Xinyan said suddenly.

Unable to watch the woman he loves marry another man, so he chooses to stay far away.

"Zhuzhu, you are pregnant with a child, so you shouldn't worry about it. Don't worry about my affairs." Lu Ziyi said: "The third prince asked me to set a time to go to Chuanzhou by myself. I can leave immediately, or I can leave after the new year." .I thought that I had to leave anyway, it would be better to leave early than late, and I planned to leave before the end of the month, and I will trouble my brother-in-law to watch over Ankangbo Mansion in the future."

Wu Sheng will decide on the candidates for the main concubine and side concubine at the beginning of next month, and Lu Ziyi will leave Beijing for Chuanzhou before the end of the month. Does it need to be said?
"Brother." Lu Xinyan's nose was sore.

"I'm fine, Zhuzhu." Lu Ziyi smiled and said: "You take a good rest, I'll go back first. Don't be sour, I hope that when I come back from Chuanzhou, I will see a lively and lovely little nephew instead of a Little bitter gourd face."

"I'll take you out."

"No," Lu Ziyi held her down, "I'm your brother, and I'm not an outsider. Don't be so polite. I'm going back."

Lu Ziyi walked out the door, just in time to meet Shu Yun.

So Yun asked: "Master, are you going back so soon?"

"Yes, Shuyun."

"Then I'll see you off. Just now the concierge sent someone to say that someone is looking for me outside."

"Then I'll trouble you." Lu Ziyi cupped her hands.

The two walked out of the house while talking.

Arriving outside Zhen Guogong's mansion, Shu Yun didn't see anyone looking for her, so he sent Lu Ziyi to the carriage first.

She waved, "Master, goodbye."

"Goodbye, Comb Cloud."

After the curtain of the carriage was lowered and drove away, Shu Yun was about to turn back and ask the porter who was looking for her when she suddenly felt someone tugging at the corner of her clothes.

She turned her head and saw a ten-year-old beggar quickly let go of his hand.

"Sister, someone is looking for you over there."

He pointed to a dark alley not far away, and ran away without waiting for Shu Yun to ask anything.

Su Yun walked towards the alley suspiciously, thinking to himself, could it be that Long Tianxing came to look for her?

I heard from Leng Ge that he was busy with the wedding recently, so busy that his hands and feet didn't touch the ground. If he really came, she had to reward him well.

When he was approaching the dark alley, Shu Yun stepped lightly, intending to surprise Long Tianxing.

When he walked in, he was about to call out "Master" delicately, but saw two strange women standing in a dark alley.

Wearing a black cloak, the style and texture of the clothes are very strange, with a bit of weirdness, it is not from the capital at first glance.

The woman in the lead was dark and thin, her eyes were as cold as a poisonous snake, which made people feel frightened.

"You are Shu Yun?" The voice was even hoarse and unpleasant.

Shu Yun felt something was wrong, so he ran out of the alley.

But as soon as she turned around, she realized that she was stiff and unable to move.

The black and thin woman walked up to her, showing a terrifying smile, "It's too late to run away."

"What do you want to do?" Shu Yun wanted to ask, but found that he couldn't speak at all.

She was shocked in her heart because she didn't know how the woman did it.

"You're curious about what I did to you, aren't you?"

The black and thin woman smiled strangely and stretched out a pair of thin hands.

Shu Yun noticed that her nails were pitch black.

Then a black reptilian thing the size of a fingernail crawled out of her sleeve and landed on the back of her hand.

"It's this baby, or it's this baby's child who controlled you." The black and thin woman said: "This is the mother Gu. Just when you walked into the alley, the child Gu has already entered your body."

Mother-child Gu?Shu Yun's hair stood up all over his body, and he felt uncomfortable like being crawled by insects.

This black and thin woman is Miao Qiu. She stretched out her fingers with black nails, gently stroking the mother Gu on the back of her hand like a baby.

"Don't worry, as long as you obey me obediently, you can do whatever I tell you to do, and I won't hurt you."

"What do you want me to do?" Shu Yun blurted out, and then found that she could speak.

She was about to scream loudly, trying to attract people from the Duke of Zhen's mansion to find her, but in the next second, she found that she was unable to make a sound again.

Shu Yun was terrified in his heart.

"First of all, the first thing is to be obedient, don't shout, don't make a sound. Do you understand? If you understand, just nod."

Shu Yun found that his head was moving, so he nodded quickly.

The woman in black seemed to be very satisfied with her sense of humor, and moved for some reason, and Shu Yun found that her throat was unblocked immediately.

"save"

Before the words of fate could be uttered, Shu Yun immediately lost his voice again.

"How dare you trick me!?" Miao Qiu was furious, with a poisonous light in his eyes, "Do you know what happened to the last person who tricked me?"

"I used the bodies of fifteen members of their family to raise these babies of mine!"

"If it's not useful to keep you, you will end up like them! Although I can't kill you, I have to make you suffer and grow your memory!"

As soon as the words fell, Shu Yun suddenly felt pain in his internal organs, as if being bitten by countless insects at the same time.

She couldn't move, couldn't shout, and her whole body broke out in cold sweat because of the pain, which quickly wet her clothes.

Seeing that Shu Yun was about to faint from the pain, Miao Qiu stopped.

"This is just a warning." Miao Qiu said, "If you dare to disobey me in the future, I will make you suffer a hundred times more pain than just now!"

"What do you want me to do?" After being able to speak out, Shu Yun asked weakly.

"You don't need to know about this. When we need you in the future, we will naturally send someone to notify you." Miao Qiu said.

"Remember, you can't bear the consequences of betraying me!"
