The sweet soup is warm and delicious, with a slight sour taste, sweet but not greasy, and it really stimulates the appetite after entering the mouth.
Shen Lansui's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but take a few more sips.
The Crown Princess smiled and said, "Mrs. Lu, if you can't eat, don't force it. There is a couch inside, so you can just go and rest."
"Thank you for your understanding. Your Majesty is still here. How can I leave? Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about me. You should take care of yourself more. You have been working hard all day. It's too hard."
Shen Lansui said sincerely. The Crown Princess couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this. A strange emotion flashed in her eyes. After a moment, her smile became stronger, but this time it was more sincere, "No wonder Rong Zhao said you are someone to be friends with. You are indeed a wonderful person."
As soon as these words came out, others couldn't help but look at Shen Lansui with a bit of surprise.
Shen Lansui didn't understand why they had that expression at first, so he didn't think much about it and just smiled.
After three drinks and five dishes, seeing that everyone was almost done eating, Shen Lansui stood up and said goodbye.
The Crown Princess didn't keep her, she nodded and asked someone to send her out.
That night, the Crown Princess drank a lot of wine, but at the end she still showed some real emotions. Shen Lansui looked at her one more time before leaving, feeling helpless.
No matter how virtuous and generous you are, how can you have no grudge against your husband taking a concubine?
Relationships are a matter of two people, and there is never room for a third person.
The so-called generosity is nothing but numbness and forbearance after weighing the pros and cons.

Shen Lansui walked out of the East Palace gate and was about to get into his carriage when a drunken voice suddenly came from behind, "Mrs. Lu?"
Hearing this voice, Shen Lansui paused, then walked forward as if nothing had happened, as if he hadn't heard it.
The fifth prince laughed angrily from behind and called out again: "Mrs. Lu? Divine Doctor Shen? Are you ignoring me?"
The driver this time was Mulang. When he saw this, he glanced at Shen Lansui and lowered his voice and asked, "Madam, are you leaving?"
Shen Lansui hesitated for a moment, and finally turned around.
She didn't want to talk to the fifth prince, but she was at the gate of the East Palace. If someone saw her, they might say that she was arrogant and despised the majesty of the Tian family.
"Is Your Highness just calling me? I didn't hear clearly. The wind was too strong and my hearing is not very good." Shen Lansui smiled apologetically, and the lie was more true than the truth.
The fifth prince glanced at her ears playfully, and said meaningfully: "Really?"
"Yes, it's absolutely true. After all, I am the doctor."
Shen Lansui asked with a fake smile: "Is there something wrong, Your Highness? If nothing happens, I will leave first."
"Nothing's wrong, I just feel a little emotional when I see Madam in high spirits and with a rosy complexion." The fifth prince smiled with a knife hidden in his face, his eyes were deep and somewhat aggressive.
Shen Lansui was startled, and her voice lowered unconsciously, "What do you mean, Your Highness?"
"I heard that Madam was planted with a poisonous insect, but now she has taken it out?"
The fifth prince took a step forward, feeling even more oppressive.
At that moment, Shen Lansui was keenly aware of something strange. Liang Ci's words "Be careful of the fifth prince" came to mind again. Shen Lansui was horrified. Could it be... could this be what he meant?
The fifth prince is interested in her?
No way?
Shen Lansui looked at the fifth prince inquiringly, but found that the other prince seemed to have been looking at her, and his eyes were always wrong.
Shen Lansui: "..."
It seems to be true.
absurd! That's ridiculous! Is this person a pervert?
She subconsciously took a step back to distance herself from the pervert.
The fifth prince narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you afraid of me?"
He didn't even say "I" anymore, he changed it to "I".
hehe……
Shen Lansui's heart trembled, and her face turned cold, "Your Highness, men and women are not allowed to be intimate with each other. Are you standing so close to me, aren't you afraid that someone will see you and there will be rumors that you covet my wife?"
As she spoke, she deliberately glanced behind the fifth prince.
The fifth prince turned around to look, but saw nothing, only a few guards guarding the door looking at him.
But at this distance, those few people naturally couldn't hear what they were saying.
"You——" The fifth prince turned around, but only saw a piece of Shen Lansui's clothes.
Fifth Prince: "..."
Shen Lansui climbed into the carriage while he was turning around.
After sitting firmly, Shen Lansui immediately urged Mulang, "Let's go, let's ignore him, he's crazy."
Although he didn't know what psychosis meant, Shen Lansui's tone was not a good word. Mulang suppressed a smile and didn't dare to look at the fifth prince's suddenly darkened face, so he quickly got in the car and drove away.
The fifth prince watched helplessly on the spot as the carriage turned around and left, and laughed angrily, "Okay, what a coveted minister's wife, what a Mrs. Lu."
"What are you talking about, Your Highness?"
Liang Ci's voice suddenly came from behind, and the fifth prince's heart tightened. He turned around as if nothing had happened, and saw Liang Ci standing behind him at some point.
He was not so polite to Liang Ci. He knew something about Liang Ci and Rong Zhao. They could hide it from the emperor but not him.
He smiled slightly and said, "General Liang still has a habit of eavesdropping?"
Liang Ci looked at him calmly with a calm expression, "I don't have this preference, but His Highness seems to pay too much attention to Mrs. Lu."
The fifth prince's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes became cold, "General Liang, be careful what you say."
Liang Ci didn't intend to argue with him. He walked past him and said quietly: "Your Highness, think twice before you act."
After saying that, he took a step back and cupped his hands, ignored the fifth prince's suddenly stern look, and left straight away.
The fifth prince narrowed his eyes and stared at Liang Ci's back, thoughtfully.

After Shen Lansui returned home, she quickly took a bath. While soaking in the hot water, her mind was filled with the faintly insane Shen Xiyun and the openly insane fifth prince.
After a while, she felt a headache and pressed her forehead, "Are there no normal people these days?"
Guan Chun came in to deliver clothes and asked in confusion when he heard this sentence: "What did Madam say? Normal people? Who is not normal?"
"The fifth prince."
Shen Lansui lay on the edge of the tub and whispered: "I think he is sick, very sick."
"What did you say? What did he do?"
Guanchun hung the clothes on the hanger nearby and asked curiously.
Shen Lansui stopped talking and waved her hand, "It's nothing."
How can I say this? What if I feel wrong, how embarrassing it would be to say it, and how narcissistic it would seem.
Guan Chun retreated.
After taking a shower, Shen Lansui felt extremely tired and went to bed early. However, this night she had a rare dream.
In the dream, she was in a completely unfamiliar place, with a mountain wall on her side and a winding path at her feet, which could easily accommodate a person riding a horse.
"Why am I here?" Shen Lansui said in the dream.
She took two tentative steps forward, but heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from ahead.
She wanted to avoid it, but her body flew up.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that she was dreaming. In a daze, she saw the horseman turning a corner and revealing his true appearance - a black robe with a cloak of the same color, a hood on his head, and a face colder than snow. , only those eyes are full of brilliance.
"Lu Xingyue——"
She called out, and the next moment the entire dreamland shook, and boulders rolled down, heading straight for Lu Xingyue.
