The second day.
When Chu Yue woke up, Lu Xinghe was no longer in the tent.
It was also quiet outside.
"Ningdong."
Ningdong, who was standing outside the house, heard the noise and quickly opened the curtain and entered the tent.
"The princess is awake."
Chu Yue hummed, frowned and rubbed her sore waist and hips.
"What time is it?"
"It's time."
Chu Yue was slightly startled, "So late? Has the hunting started?"
"Not yet, Princess, something happened last night." Ningdong leaned close to Chu Yue and whispered, "Miss Yuan designed to climb into Prince Jing's bed, and was appointed by His Majesty to be his concubine."
In fact, with Yuan Xueer's background as the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister, if she talks about marriage properly, even if she is married to a prince, she will definitely be a concubine.
It's a pity that she used such a despicable method to climb into bed, which is really disgraceful.
But Yuan Xueer will appear on Gu Jingning's bed. You don't need to think about it to know that it is Lu Xinghe's handiwork.
"Is Yuan Xiang allowing his daughter to become a concubine?" Chu Yue looked confused.
Ningdong put the water on the shelf beside the bed and helped Chu Yue up from the bed.
"It would be fine if Miss Yuan and His Highness Prince Jing were in love, but she planned it first and was looked at by many guards who broke in. In addition to her crying and insults, His Majesty did not call anyone. By executing her, you are already giving face to Yuan Xiang. I heard that Yuan Xiang looked very dark at the time and stood aside without saying a word."
Chu Yue smiled.
"A young lady who has been spoiled since she was a child will surely suffer the consequences of not being disciplined when she grows up."
Furthermore, Prince Jing was already very powerful in the court. Now that Yuan Xueer has entered Prince Jing's palace, Prime Minister Yuan has automatically joined Prince Jing's faction. This is probably not a situation the emperor wants to see.
Ningdong said with great agreement, "The Princess is right."
Chu Yue looked back at her.
"My husband and I are already married. It's time to change our name to madam from now on."
Ningdong blessed her body and said with a smile, "Yes, madam."
As soon as he finished washing, he saw Lu Xinghe opened the curtain and walked in from the outside. When he saw Chu Yue, a trace of softness flashed across his originally cold face.
"Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Chu Yue smiled lightly.
"When you wake up, you get up."
She sat down in front of the dressing table and was about to let Ningdong comb her hair, but Lu Xinghe came to the dressing table before her, picked up the comb and combed Chu Yue's waterfall-like hair.
Seeing this, Chu Yue pursed her lips and smiled.
"Ningdong, you go down first."
"Yes, ma'am."
Ningdong felt blessed and exited the camp.
Hearing Ningdong's name to Chu Yue, Lu Xinghe's eyes were filled with smiles.
Chu Yue looked at Lu Xinghe's slightly raised lips in the mirror and was stunned.
"Ms. Yuan, Mr. Yuan was appointed by His Majesty to be married to Prince Jing. Mr. Yuan didn't blame you, did he?"
Lu Xinghe's voice was calm, as if it had nothing to do with him.
"It doesn't matter if you blame me. After all, she was the one who caused it first. Now that she can become Prince Jing's side concubine, it doesn't mean she has been insulted."
As far as he knew, Yuan Boyang had never been in a hurry to find a husband for Yuan Xueer, and had originally intended to let her enter Gu Jingning's harem.
It's just that his daughter really didn't teach her well.
Chu Yue looked sideways at him, with a smile on her lips.
"I am the daughter of the prime minister's house, and I don't care if I become your concubine. Are you really not interested at all?"
Others don't understand, but she knows very well that Lu Xinghe wants to deal with Prince Jing and has teamed up with many people in the capital to set up a trap. Even though Yuan Xueer is Prince Jing's side concubine, she may not have any good results in the end.
Lu Xinghe looked down at Chu Yue and continued to comb her hair.
"There is no need to test me Yueyue. Since I have promised you a life together, I will keep my promise to you."
Hearing this, Chu Yue frowned slightly, feeling a little aggrieved in her heart.
"Just for the promise?"
"Of course not." Lu Xinghe put the comb back on the dressing table, squatted in front of Chu Yue, took her hand and said seriously, "There is also the responsibility of being a husband, and my love for you, Yueyue, I may be with someone else It’s different, my heart is too small to hold extra people.”
Lu Xinghe had rarely expressed his feelings so frankly in front of her before.
Chu Yue was a little afraid to look into his eyes, but after listening to his words, her eyes turned red unconsciously.
She lowered her head slightly, grabbed her wide sleeves, and murmured in a low voice, "How come I didn't know before that my husband can speak sweet words like this?"
"It's not rhetoric." Lu Xinghe pinched Chu Yue's face lovingly and said in a magnetic voice, "Don't worry, we still have a lifetime. You can observe slowly and see if what I say is true or false."
Chu Yue raised her eyes and looked at Lu Xinghe, then hugged him tightly with red eyes.
Lu Xinghe smiled and raised his hand to caress Chu Yue's back.
"What's wrong?"
Chu Yue sorted out her emotions with a strong nasal tone in her voice.
"Ms. sir, I'm hungry."
Lu Xinghe smiled and rubbed the little head in his arms, "I'll ask Aji to prepare breakfast for you when I get here. It should be here soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Aji's voice was heard outside the camp.
"Master, madam, come early."
Hearing the sound, Chu Yue hurriedly broke away from Lu Xinghe's arms.
Lu Xinghe smiled and helped her stand up.
"Let's go get something to eat first."
Chu Yue nodded, "Yeah."
Aji entered the camp, placed breakfast on the table and hurriedly left.
Lu Xinghe took Chu Yue to sit at the table and watched her eating breakfast in small bites, which was a pleasure to watch.
"Is it still to your taste?"
"Fortunately, I'm not picky." Chu Yue looked at him with a smile, "How are Prince Jing and Miss Yuan doing now? Have everything been resolved?"
"Yuan Xueer was sent back to the capital, accompanied by Prince Jing, and will be carried into Prince Jing's Mansion on a sedan today." Lu Xinghe said, raising one corner of his lips.
Chu Yue is very keen.
"Will something happen in the capital next?"
Lu Xinghe looked at her with dark eyes, a slight smile in his eyes, "That's probably true. I don't think Yuan Xiang and Prince Jing will let it pass by such a good opportunity."
He went to Yuan Mansion before and vaguely revealed the emperor's intention to establish a prince.
Although it has not been stated clearly who will be appointed, the royal family has always established a direct descendant rather than an elder.
What's more, the emperor used to dote on Gu Xianyu, his legitimate son, and even took him with him to educate him since he was a child. However, he had hidden thoughts of suppressing Gu Jingning.
In his mind, it was self-evident which one was more important.
Gu Jingning hated the emperor because of her mother's death and the unfair treatment she received when she was a child, and she also had great ambitions for the emperor's position.
If the 200,000 troops outside the city were deployed in advance, it would not be a problem to capture the capital.
After capturing the capital, he occupied the palace, purged the courtiers who refused to surrender, replaced them with his own people, and then released false news that the emperor was dead, in order to clear out the rebels and siege the royal hunting ground.
After capturing the emperor, he would either kill him or imprison him in the palace, and finally he would be crowned emperor.
As for how to write historical records, it is just a matter of the winner's words.
This plan is foolproof.
But what Gu Jingning didn't know was that all of this was just a mirror created by Lu Xinghe for him.
The palace and the capital, this empty city plan was arranged by Liao Meng.
Just waiting for Gu Jingning's army to step in.
