"Second daughter? The Crown Princess's younger sister?" Xia Luotong remembered that the eldest daughter of the Fengguo Palace married the Crown Prince as his concubine. For this matter, she secretly mocked the emperor and wondered what he thought.
If the crown prince really succeeds to the throne, then the crown prince will be the queen of the main palace. However, the current queen also comes from the Duke of Fengguo's palace. For two consecutive terms, the queen mother and queen will be in the hands of the Lei family. , it can almost be said that he controls the entire harem, so is this country's surname Wu or Lei?
Today's Duke Fengguo has a transcendent status. Both Lei Guogong and Prince Lei hold important positions in the government. The power of Duke Fengguo cannot be underestimated.
In order to consolidate power, the emperor did not hesitate to kill his own brother, even his only nephew. But in the end, this power was taken away and handed over to the Lei family?
"Yes, the Crown Princess's biological sister Lei Manhe has been invited to be named the Princess of Ruirong County since she was a child. She is very favored by the Queen and the Crown Princess. She also appeared at the New Year's Eve palace banquet before." Wu Zechen explained.
Xia Luotong raised her eyebrows and recalled carefully, but she couldn't find much memory about Lei Manhe. After all, she didn't pay much attention to Fengguo Duke's Mansion at that time, so she didn't have much impression of her.
"I didn't expect that he even made the county head. The emperor really favors the Lei family." Xia Luotong sneered lightly and asked without further comment, "But do you know which families will go?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Luotong realized that there was something wrong with his inquiry. After all, there must be many people going to the banquet. How could Wu Zechen remember them all and recite them to him?
But just when she was about to ask another question, Wu Zechen suddenly spoke: "The Xia family of the Minister of Rites, the Xu family of the Minister of Hubu, the old man of He Ge, and the Zheng family of General Anbei will all be attending the banquet."
Xia Luotong looked at Wu Zechen blankly, obviously not expecting that Wu Zechen actually knew which people she planned to ask about attending the banquet, and said so accurately: "How do you know who I want to ask?"
"These are all the people you have had issues with. As soon as I saw your appearance, I knew what you wanted to do." Wu Zechen looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of doting, "As long as you are happy, I will Okay, the rest is up to you. If you need me to do anything, just say it, but remember one thing: never put yourself in danger, let alone get yourself hurt, otherwise I will feel bad."
Xia Luotong was stunned for a moment, but then she realized what she was doing, her face turned red, and she took the initiative to snuggle into Wu Zechen's arms. She just leaned against him quietly and didn't say much, but the raised corners of her lips showed her joy.
Xia Luotong found that Wu Zechen really understood her, he would give priority to her wishes in everything, and he would not make his own decisions because he thought he was doing her a good job. It was especially rare for Wu Zechen to be able to do this.
After a long while, Xia Luotong asked: "Will you attend the banquet then?"
"As long as you go, I will go." Although Wu Zechen said this, he actually knew in his heart that Xia Luotong would definitely go.
Xia Luotong raised a smile, knowing that Wu Zechen had understood her thoughts, and when she was about to say something, Wu Manying's voice came from outside.
"Princess, eldest brother is here. It looks like there is something urgent."
Xia Luotong raised his eyebrows. He was surprised that Wu Haoying suddenly came late at night. Hearing that something was urgent, he quickly said, "Let him in quickly."
It must be no small matter for Wu Haoying to rush to the palace suddenly in the middle of the night. Xia Luotong was a little worried. Could it be that something happened to the Wu family or Lingshan Pavilion?
Wu Haoying entered the house and hurriedly said after seeing Xia Luotong: "Master, a man suddenly broke into the backyard of Lingshan Pavilion just now and wanted to see you by name. He claimed to be Wu Ninghou Chu Junxiu."
Wu Haoying had not been in the capital for long, but he was accustomed to keeping track of all kinds of news. He still knew about Wu Ninghou. The main reason was that Wu Ninghou had a very good reputation. First of all, the position of Southwest General was given to him. People dare not ignore him, and the second one is the title of the most beautiful man in the capital.
"Chu Junxiu?" Xia Luotong was surprised and asked in confusion, "Why did he go to Lingshan Pavilion to find me? And what are you doing with me in the middle of the night?"
Now she knew Chu Junxiu's feelings for her, and she also clearly told Chu Junxiu that it was impossible, and Wu Zechen also knew about this.
Xia Luotong didn't even need to look at this moment. He could feel it just from the aura of the man next to him. He started to feel jealous again...
When Xia Luotong felt funny because of Wu Zechen's reaction, Wu Haoying replied: "Wu Ninghou was seriously injured and escaped all the way to Lingshan Pavilion. When he arrived, he was covered in blood. Looking at the situation It’s not good, he must have been poisoned.”
"What?! He was seriously injured?!" Xia Luotong stood up suddenly, his expression no longer as relaxed as before, but more solemn.
She suddenly felt uneasy. If Chu Junxiu could escape to Lingshan Pavilion to find her, the situation would definitely not be simple.
Although she already has her own feelings and can no longer respond to Chu Junxiu, she really treats Chu Junxiu as a friend. Chu Junxiu told her about Feng Qianqian, so Chu Junxiu also helped her.
"Yes, he was chased all the way into Lingshan Pavilion. The third uncle knew that Wu Ninghou was your friend, so he brought a few brothers to lure the pursuers away, and then his subordinates came to look for him. You." Wu Haoying reported back. Although Prince An on the side seemed to be in a bad mood after hearing the news for some reason, he still reported the news responsibly, "The situation of Marquis Wu Ning doesn't look good. What do you think you should do? How about handling it?"
Xia Luotong didn't say anything, and immediately said: "I'll go over now! Manying, prepare a medicine box!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I noticed that the air pressure around the man next to me had dropped a bit, so I couldn't help but turn my head and hold his slender palm, and said seriously: "Husband, can you come with me for a while?"
As soon as Xia Luotong said these words, the low air pressure around Wu Zechen suddenly stagnated and dissipated almost instantly. The look in his eyes was like clouds turning sunny, and the next moment he was filled with smiles.
"As you command, madam." Wu Zechen responded gently.
Doesn't Xia Luotong take him with him at such a time to explain everything? Firstly, she didn't want him to think too much, and secondly, she called him "husband" in a rare way. Didn't it just show Xia Luotong's determination?
Wu Zechen stood up immediately, spontaneously took a thick fox fur for Xia Luotong, took the initiative to wrap her tightly, then took her small white hand and walked out.
Xia Luotong, who was walking behind, looked at the tall and slender back of the man in front of him, with a little smile in his eyes.
