The moment Lu Qingtang saw Dong Chengbin, his eyes almost fell out.
She was so shocked that she couldn't say a word, and it took her a long time to recover.
She walked forward and whispered to him: "Why are you here? Aren't you afraid of being exposed?"
Dong Chengbin lowered his head, his tall body looking a little cramped, "I know, but I want to take a look at Ning Xinran, but I don't know what's going on with her face or the child in her belly."
Lu Qingtang crossed his arms and said coldly: "What, you don't trust me?"
Dong Chengbin waved his hands quickly, "No, no, no, I just miss her, just let me take a look at her."
Looking at this pleading face, Lu Qingtang felt a little soft-hearted for a moment.
It is human nature for a man to miss his woman, not to mention that things in the next few days will be a bit dangerous, so let them meet.
She said helplessly: "Okay, just take a look, don't say much, and go back as soon as you're done."
Dong Chengbin nodded repeatedly and followed Lu Qingtang to the wing.
She knocked on Ning Xinran's door, and the woman inside responded, "Here, wait a minute."
After the door was opened, Ning Xinran looked at Lu Qingtang with a smile, "Princess, didn't you go to the dinner party? The banquet is over now?"
Lu Qingtang did not speak, but turned sideways so that she could see Dong Chengbin behind him.
Surprise immediately appeared on Ning Xinran's face, and her eyes sparkled.
Dong Chengbin raised the corners of his lips and smiled, standing in the corridor looking at her.
Lu Qingtang didn't want to be this light bulb, so he just said to them: "Hurry up, don't let anyone see you."
After saying that, Dong Chengbin and Ning Xinran entered the room and closed the door.
Lu Qingtang couldn't bear to leave the table for too long, so she asked Su Mu to look out for them, and she returned to the table.
Sitting back in her seat, she suddenly found that there was one person missing at the table.
So he asked Mo Zeshen, "Who left?"
Mo Ze took a deep look and said, "Xu Lingshu is your cousin."
Lu Qingtang said "Oh" and continued to eat with chopsticks.
After taking two bites, she stood up again, said she wanted to go back to the house to get the veil, and left the table again.
Dong Chengbin was still chatting with Ning Xinran, and she had to drive Dong Chengbin away to prevent him from being recognized.
As soon as he left the main hall, he almost bumped into Xu Lingshu.
Her eyes were panicked, as if she had a guilty conscience.
She quickly apologized to Lu Qingtang, "I'm sorry, Princess Chen. I didn't mean it. Are you okay?"
Lu Qingtang didn't like Xu Lingshu and felt inexplicably disgusted when he saw her.
She didn't even look at her, just passed her and left.
As soon as she arrived at the wing in the backyard, Su Mu hurriedly walked towards her.
She looked panicked and whispered to her: "Princess, no, I just saw Xu Lingshu and it seemed that he saw Dong's consort."
Lu Qingtang's heart tightened, and he quickly asked her, "When?"
Su Mu continued to whisper: "When the princess left just now, she must have been watching for a long time."
Lu Qingtang was immediately dizzy.
No wonder Xu Lingshu's eyes were so panicked when she saw her just now. She must have seen everything.
What to do?
She almost lost her balance, but luckily Su Mu was there to support her.
Lu Qingtang frowned and looked at Su Mu, "Has she noticed you?"
Su Mu immediately shook his head, "I have been hiding in the dark, she can't see me."
After saying that, she stamped her feet angrily and complained: "It's all my fault, Prince Consort, why did he have to sneak back? This is terrible! What should I do, Princess, if Xu Lingshu tells Ji Wuhen about your meeting with Dong's Prince Consort? , this matter fell short."
Lu Qingtang didn't know what to do.
She did two things wrong today.
First, Ji Wuhen should not be allowed to come to Zhennan Prince's Mansion as a guest, and second, Dong Chengbin should just get out of here.
But it's too late to regret. Since the thing has happened, it should be rectified.
She, Xu Lingshu, saw something she shouldn't have seen, and she should pay the price for it.
Lu Qingtang immediately knocked on Ning Xinran's door, told Dong Chengbin what Xu Lingshu had just seen, so that he could be prepared, and then drove him out of the palace.
And she went to look for Ji Wenzhan at the banquet. Coincidentally, Ji Wenzhan just came out to find her, saying that he had served a good dish and letting her try it.
Lu Qingtang was not in the mood to eat now, so he had to tell Ji Wenzhan his plan in advance, including the fact that Xu Lingshu just found out about her meeting with Dong Chengbin.
Everything was disrupted by Dong Chengbin, so she could only let Ji Wenzhan know everything in advance.
Ji Wenzhan was shocked after hearing this.
He looked at Lu Qingtang in surprise, "No way, my second uncle wouldn't do this to us!"
Lu Qingtang shook his head helplessly.
It's not the brother's fault. He was so well protected by Ji Wuhen that he didn't know the sinister nature of people's hearts.
She looked at him and said solemnly: "Brother, listen to me. I can't explain a sentence or two right now. You first find a way to silence Xu Lingshu."
"If Ji Wuxuan finds out about this, our affairs will be exposed, the plan will be in vain, and all the efforts we have done during this period will be in vain. Moreover, this is also related to the survival of the entire palace, which is very serious."
Ji Wenzhan's face looked very ugly at this moment. He nodded, "I understand, I understand, but what do you want to do? You can't kill her openly, right?"
Lu Qingtang frowned, lowered his eyes and thought about countermeasures.
After a long time, she said to Ji Wenzhan: "I will find a way to bring them all out. You and the guards pretend to assassinate, and then kill Xu Lingshu. God doesn't know it, ghost doesn't know it, and no one will suspect it."
She guessed that Xu Lingshu had not told Ji Wuxuan about the matter at this moment, so she must find a suitable opportunity. The people in the royal palace are so arrogant that she would not choose to say it here.
After thinking about it, she said to Ji Wenzhan: "Go and ask a few servants to set off some fireworks so that I can get them out."
Ji Wenzhan nodded and turned around to find someone, but he almost fell off the steps because he was so panicked.
This was probably the first time he had done something like this, so it was normal to be a little scared.
Lu Qingtang looked at Ji Wenzhan's back and couldn't help but sigh. This was also difficult for him.
She took a deep breath and stepped into the main hall again, with a smile on her face, as if what just happened had never happened.
Ji Wuhen didn't see his son, so he asked Lu Qingtang, "Where is your brother? Why haven't you seen him come back?"
Lu Qingtang said with a smile: "They say they are preparing a surprise for us, but I don't know what they are doing."
Ji Wuhen was stunned for a moment. He didn't hear what Ji Wenzhan said about "surprise".
Was it a temporary idea?
This kid has a lot of tricks up his sleeve now.
At this moment, there was a burst of fireworks outside the hall.
Everyone stood up and looked outside. Could it be the surprise Ji Wenzhan said?
This is nothing.
Lu Qingtang pretended not to understand and said to everyone, "Why don't we go out and have a look. I heard that the fireworks in the palace are very beautiful."
