Zhao Chong frowned when he heard this and said: "Don't talk about being poor and falling into hell, even Mrs. Lu doesn't agree with you marrying into the Lu family now. Lu Ze can ignore filial piety, but if it is really because of you that you are involved in the Duke Lu's mansion, do you think Will Zeer still refuse to marry you unless she is you?"
Zhao Chong pressed closer to Qi Yuning and said, "Do you think Lu Ze will sacrifice his future for you?"
Qi Yuning retreated to the tombstone of Old Prince Qi. She said, "Your Highness, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first!"
Zhao Chong looked at Qi Yuning's back and smiled softly.
He is only one step away from holding great power, and only one step away from marrying Qi Yuning as his concubine. Qi Yuning will eventually be his.
After Qi Yuning left the Qi family cemetery, he did not take a carriage, but drove directly back to the palace. He ordered the servants of the palace to close the main and side doors tightly, and no one except Lu Ze was allowed to enter.
Qi Yuning thought for a while and then said to Li Chun: "Hurry up to Tiger Cave Mountain and tell General Ren to lead her troops down the mountain to the palace."
Li Chun responded: "Yes."
Shuangjiang saw Qi Yuning and asked worriedly, "Should we go find Prince Lu?"
Qi Yuning said: "Send a secret guard to deliver a message to him, asking him to be careful of His Highness the Crown Prince."
After Shuang Jiangying said, "Princess Princess, why don't you go to Beicheng? I will only look at you when I look at His Majesty the Crown Prince..."
Qi Yuning frowned and said: "The wedding is coming soon. If I leave Shengjing City and go to Beicheng, I will be disobeying the decree and giving the prince an excuse to deal with our Qi family. I think the prince has just been in charge of the country now, so he should not be able to I really broke my skin and took action against Prince Qi’s Mansion.”
Qi Yuning warned Shuang Jiang again: "You must be extremely careful when you go out these days. If you find a Persian merchant, you accidentally go to the Qin family and reveal that His Highness the King of Jin is in the aphrodisiac business."
Shuangjiang responded: "Yes."
After Qi Yuning drank a cup of warm tea, he suppressed the panic in his heart and looked at the account book attentively.
Afternoon.
Qi Yuning didn't sleep well for two days in a row. She was a little sleepy after all. She wanted to take a lunch break, but she closed her eyes. Either she looked like the prince in the Qi family cemetery, or she was afraid that Lingling would cry, so she simply got up. .
When it got dark, Ren Yao brought a dozen soldiers to the palace.
"Princess Princess, what happened?"
Seeing that Ren Yao had brought her confidants, Qi Yuning said: "Aunt Ren, Your Majesty has been deceived by the Crown Prince and is obsessed with cultivating a long life. Now the Crown Prince oversees the court, and Your Highness has nothing to do with me now." Seriously, I need to use troops to protect myself."
Ren Yao said worriedly: "In this case, we'd better escort the princess to Beicheng first."
Qi Yuning said quietly: "Even if I want to go to Beicheng, I have to get married to Lu Ze, otherwise I will be guilty of resisting the imperial edict."
Xiao Man whispered from the side: "Princess Princess, maybe you can also become a monk..."
Guyu followed, "Xiaoman said that the Lu family had become a monk before and your reputation was ruined. Why don't you also go to Beicheng to become a nun? Even if you commit the crime of resisting the decree, you have already become a monk, so you can be exempted from this crime. "
Qi Yuning said: "Lu Yun is relying on his mother to be a princess. After he becomes a monk, he will not bring trouble to the princess's palace and the Duke of Lu's palace. I can't do that."
Ren Yao sighed and said: "In this case, I will hide two hundred elite soldiers in the palace, and I will put five hundred cavalry in several villages outside the city to provide support. If the princess wants to leave the city, these five hundred cavalry can escort the princess forward." Go to Beicheng, and the rest will stay on Hudong Mountain. If anything happens, we will send a signal, what do you think?"
Qi Yuning nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be busy now."
Ren Yao said: "Princess, don't worry, with Old Prince Qi and your parents protecting you in the sky, you will definitely be able to turn disaster into good.
At night, there was silence.
After Qi Yuning had dinner, he thought about Zhao Chong's words in the cemetery. If something happened to the Lu family, what would Lu Ze do?
Qi Yuning did not dare to imagine that in Lu Ze's mind, he could rival the entire Duke of Lu.
But if Lu Ze really chooses Duke Lu's Mansion, she will not be completely disappointed.
…
Not far from the royal mausoleum palace, in King Duan's courtyard.
Seeing little Zhao Jie crying in front of him, Lu Ze comforted him: "Lingling really wants to come, but she is sick and can't go out these days. She specifically asked me to bring you the paper kite she made by herself."
Little Zhao Jie raised his eyes and said: "I want Lingling to play with me!"
Lu Baozhu heard what Lu Ze said: "Lingling is sick? Didn't you tell me earlier? If I knew she was sick, I would not come to the imperial mausoleum."
Zhao Jie sniffed and said, "Cousin, can I go see Lingling?"
Lu Ze shook his head and said: "Lingling is very ill, so don't let it infect you."
Zhao Jie said with red eyes: "Lingling promised me to come and play with me."
When Lu Baozhu saw Zhao Jie crying, he was not as patient as he was with Lingling. He said angrily: "Why are you crying? I'm a man. If you don't have Lingling to play with you, just cry!"
Lu Ze glared at Lu Baozhu and said, "Have you finished copying the Book of Rites ten times?"
Lu Baozhu: "..."
Lu Ze comforted Zhao Jie and said, "Don't cry. When Lingling recovers from his illness, he will come over to play with you."
Zhao Jie could only nod and said: "Okay, I'll wait for Lingling."
After Lu Ze and Lu Baozhu left the courtyard of Prince Duan's Mansion.
Lu Baozhu asked: "Lingling is sick? Why didn't I know?"
Lu Ze said: "It's not a serious illness."
Lu Baozhu looked at Lu Ze in front of him and said, "Brother, you seem a little strange lately."
Lu Ze said: "No."
Lu Baozhu whispered: "My uncle, the prince, is supervising the country, and my grandfather is practicing in seclusion. Did something happen? I read history books and found that whenever an emperor is greedy for power and practices immortality elixirs, the court will be in chaos."
Lu Ze was surprised: "You can still read history books?"
Lu Baozhu pouted and said, "In your eyes, your sister is so useless, ignorant and incompetent?"
Lu Ze chuckled and said, "Yeah."
Lu Baozhu snorted angrily, "You have been like this since you were a child. You are not as good as other people's brothers. Look at how kind Qi Yuning's brother is to Qi Yuning. How different is it from you, who only knows how to be kind to other people's sisters! Humph! "
Lu Baozhu was jealous and walked back to the imperial mausoleum.
As soon as she returned to her palace, she met Qin Yuli, dressed in white under the palace lantern. The candlelight of the palace lantern reflected on Qin Yuli, which was very scary.
Lu Baozhu was shocked when she saw Qin Yuli, "This is the royal palace! Why are you wearing this white dress to scare people?"
Qin Yuli looked at Lu Baozhu and said, "Sister Baozhu, I...I was stimulated by Miss Song earlier. I didn't mean to call you a fool. Can you forgive me?"
Lu Baozhu hummed: "Forgive you, you are dreaming! You have used me for so many years, how could I be deceived by you again?"
Seeing Lu Baozhu in front of her, Qin Yuli narrowed her eyes, took out a dagger and inserted it straight into her abdomen, "Help, help!"
Lu Baozhu was frightened when she saw this scene, "What are you doing?"
"Someone is coming!"
"Princess Lu killed someone!"
"Princess Lu killed Miss Qin!"
"Someone come quickly!"
Lu Baozhu heard the shrill voice of a palace servant. She looked at the palace servants aside, "What are you talking about? Didn't you see that Qin Yuli inserted the knife into her belly?"
"We saw with our own eyes that you, Princess Lu, killed Miss Qin!"
