Xu Nuo subconsciously glanced at the palace maid standing next to her. Seeing that the palace maiden's eyes were distracted, she suddenly remembered what she had seen in the palace in the past two days. The palace maids around Liu Defi were each as good as the other. In addition to being very good at reading faces and having strong adaptability, she could do anything in one fell swoop. Every movement seemed to be measured with a ruler.
The maid serving the medicine was so unprofessional that she became distracted around her master, which simply lowered the overall standard of the maids around Concubine Liu Def.
Xu Nuo thought this in his mind, his eyes unconsciously showed a hint of inquiry, and his eyes paused on the palace maid's face for a few more breaths.
Just now, the palace maid was still complaining about Xu Nuo's vulgar behavior and lack of restraint that a noble lady should have. Now she came back to her senses and happened to meet her inquiring eyes.
Xu Nuo had just woken up from her slumber, and for a while she didn't restrain her true temperament. Compared with a girl in her early teens, she looked a little more cold.
The palace maid was shocked when she saw Promise's eyes, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back inexplicably in the harsh winter.
She hurriedly looked away, then clasped the hand in her sleeve, her face returned to its earlier respectful politeness, and she looked down at her hand, for fear that Xu Nuo would reveal her previous disdain.
Xu Nuo didn't have time to think about the sudden change in the palace goddess' expression and handed her the medicine bowl in his hand.
Xu Nuo recalled what Lu had just said in her mind: "Of course not, you have a good rest. Concubine De said that you will return to the house after you recover. You should hurry up. Don't let the officials and Concubine De worry about you."
Did Lu's words imply that he wanted her to leave the palace, a place of right and wrong, as soon as possible?
In a flash of lightning, Xu Nuo suddenly remembered Xu Gucheng's instructions before she entered the palace. After turning her head a few times, she had a plan in mind.
Later, while chatting with Mr. Lu, she casually took Mr. Lu's hand, put it on her knee, and then wrote on it with her fingers.
"Concubine De found King Xu's posthumous son. By coincidence, Hao'er learned that this person was related to Hao'er. She wanted to use Bao'er to bring this man back to the palace." Xu Nuo wrote unhurriedly and looked at Lu with a smile.
She has a strong sense of spatial orientation and is very confident that the position where she writes in Lu's hand is in the blind spot of the sight of the maids serving in the room, and no one will see what she is doing.
Although she didn't want the Xu family to be involved in the fight for the post, she didn't want the Xu family to get into any trouble or get into any muddy waters, and she didn't want the Xu family to be implicated because of her affairs, but she noticed that Mrs. Lu had some feelings for Liu Defi. Be careful, otherwise she will not be allowed to recover quickly and leave early.
And Lu's thoughts must also be Xu Gucheng's thoughts.
After nearly a year of getting along, she trusted Lu and Xu Gucheng very much.
Now that she knew such important news, she didn't have any power or connections. In the end, she could only keep the news in her stomach, making it worthless.
But if she told Xu Gucheng about this, he would be able to guess Concubine Liu Defi's purpose, so that she could have a general understanding of what might happen in the future and be able to cope with any changes.
At least let this news help him stand on the right side of the court.
Lu was always smart. After Xu Nuo took her hand and wrote the first word, she glanced at Xu Nuo and then began to talk about some interesting things about her family calmly. She couldn't see anything strange, but her heart was only in the words on her hand. .
After Xu Nuo finished writing, Lu was very surprised, but she still kept a calm expression on her face. She took Xu Nuo's writing hand and placed her fingers on it.
Lu only wrote one word on the palm of Xu Nuo's hand: "Okay."
Lu didn't ask Xunuo how she got such news by chance, nor did she ask what Xunuo said about the relationship between King Xu's posthumous son and her, nor did she ask Xunuo why he said these things, she just answered okay.
Unreasonable trust is just that.
A good word told Xu Gucheng that she would tell Xu Gucheng about it and they would think about it.
Lu was rushed into the palace in the morning and could not rest in the palace at night. Shen Shi said goodbye to Xu Nuo and left the palace and returned to the Xu family.
When Xu Gucheng came back before dinner, Mrs. Lu dismissed all the people in the house and told him about the matter.
Xu Gucheng's face darkened after hearing this. When the imperial edict came down, he suspected that someone wanted to take advantage of Liu Niang. It was true, and the person who wanted to take advantage of Liu Niang was Concubine Liu Defi.
He did not expect that Concubine Liu Def could find King Xu's posthumous son, nor did he expect that she would use this method to please the emperor and silence the ministers with this matter.
Obviously, after hearing Lu's words, Xu Gucheng immediately understood that Liu Defi wanted to get the position that had been vacant for many years through this matter.
In fact, Xu Gucheng admired Concubine Liu Defi more. Although she came from a low background, she had always moved forward step by step, constantly learning and enriching herself, instead of just being a housewife's intrigues.
But Concubine Liu Defi is now plotting against his Liu Niang, and he cannot keep an appreciative attitude and support Concubine Liu Defi in taking advantage of Liu Niang.
Concubine Liu Def has the ability to be the queen. If the emperor makes a decree, Xu Gucheng will undoubtedly support it and will not be neutral or opposed because of her identity. But if Concubine Liu Def takes advantage of Liu Niang, the situation will be different.
Moreover, he was one of the insiders about King Xu's death.
At first he admired Fang Jing's talent, but later he learned of his identity when he and Zhu Shang left Beijing together.
He was shocked at the time, but eventually respected Fang Jing's choice and never leaked the matter.
Liu Niang said she might be related to Fang Jing.
It could only be someone she met during her years away from home.
Although Liu Niang has lost his memory, given Fang Jing's personality, if he met Liu Niang, he would probably lend a helping hand to her.
Xu Gucheng took off his official uniform and sat next to Lu. After a moment of silence, he said, "It's true that Concubine Liu Def wants to sit in that seat, but she shouldn't take advantage of Liu Niang."
Lu's mouth curved up, she took Xu Gucheng's arm and rested her head on his shoulder: "Master, I think so too. If King Xu really has an heir left in the world, it would be a good thing. Concubine Liu Def wants to gain the appreciation of the official family through him. It is also a smart move. But since King Xu’s heir can return to the palace for Liu Niang, it shows that he had a close relationship with Liu Niang in the past. Liu Niang must have had a hard time abroad during those years, and he is also likely to be Liu Niang’s benefactor. We You can't repay kindness with enmity."
After learning something from Xu Nuo, Lu made a solid guess about the relationship between Fang Jing and Xu Nuo. If Xu Nuo knew about it, she would definitely admire Lu even more in the future.
Xu Gucheng nodded slightly, brushed his hand over Lu's head, and his eyes fell on Lu's face. There was endless tenderness in his eyes, and then he said gently: "Wan Niang, you and I have the same thoughts almost every time."
Lu and Concubine Liu had a close friendship, and Xu Gucheng supported Concubine Liu to become the queen. However, they both refused to agree and were used by Concubine Liu to harm their former benefactor. r1152
