When Qin Zhen heard what the prince said, he couldn't help but think about his nephew. It was really ridiculous.
Uncle Qin was also speechless, but he was not afraid of Lu Ze knowing about Afurong.
The important thing is that Lu Ze has begun to suspect that Princess Shan's death is related to their Qin family. I wonder if Lu Ze knows that Princess Shan died because he learned the mystery of the prince's life experience...
If Lu Ze had guessed the identity of the crown prince, then Lu Ze must not be allowed to remain alive.
At dusk, the Lin family's house was bustling with ritual music and lively music.
At the dinner, there was a lot of cheers and laughter.
Lu Baozhu also took the lead in pouring a lot of fruit wine on the table where Qi Yuning was sitting.
Qin Feng's sister Qin Mang also helped Lu Baozhu persuade him to drink: "Princess, you should drink more today, so that you won't get drunk during the wedding in a few days when you get married. Princess, just drink this cup!"
Qin Mang picked up the wine cup and said, "Sister-in-law Lu, you must drink this glass of wine."
Qi Yuning picked up the fruit wine and drank a glass of it.
Zheng Hao also came to propose a toast: "Princess Qi, I offer you this glass of wine. Congratulations in advance on your wedding to Prince Lu."
Qi Yuning picked up the wine and drank another glass. One glass after another, Qi Yuning felt a little tipsy, so he went to the lakeside pavilion of Lin Mansion and blew the spring breeze to spread the wine.
Qi Yuning was leaning on the stone table in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. When he heard the voice of Li Chun, he raised his eyes and saw that Lu Ze was coming.
The maid of the Lin family behind Lu Ze was holding a bowl of hangover medicine.
Lu Ze handed the hangover medicine to Qi Yuning and said, "Did Baozhu make you drink?"
Qi Yuning said: "How did you know?"
"Follow Lin Jiang to your table for a toast. Seeing that you are not here, sister Qin Feng said you were drunk."
Qi Yuning chuckled and said, "I'm just a little tipsy."
Qi Yuning stood up and faced the banquet place on the east side of the lake and said: "Today the guests are all enjoying themselves, it is extremely lively, and the fireworks are brilliant. However, it is still unclear how your Majesty's body will fare in seclusion. The Qin family has dared to murder the Persian envoy regardless of the good relations between the two countries... "
Lu Ze reached out and touched Qi Yuning's hair bun and said, "Lin Jiang is getting married today. He should be happy."
Qi Yuning looked at the brilliant fireworks blooming, chuckled and said, "Yes, it's time to be happy. Go and toast with Lin Jiang."
Lu Ze chuckled and said, "You're already drunk, so I'd better take you back to the palace. This toast is almost enough."
Lu Ze put his hand in front of Qi Yuning. Qi Yuning put his hand on Lu Ze's hand, clasped their fingers with him, and took advantage of the dark night sky to walk back from the side door of Lin's house.
The Lin family is actually not far from the palace of the prince and princess. It only takes two-quarters of an hour to walk slowly.
Entered the palace.
Qi Yuning saw Lu Ze who had followed him into the palace and said, "Shouldn't you go back? Lu Baozhu will be scared alone in the princess palace."
Lu Ze smiled lightly and said: "There are so many slaves in the princess's mansion, what is she afraid of?"
Qi Yuning said softly: "Didn't her former personal maid Ruyi also frame her up? Don't look at Lu Baozhu's carelessness, how can she not be afraid of this jail sentence?"
Lu Ze said: "I will accompany you back to your room and leave."
Qi Yuning and Lu Ze walked back to the courtyard. Lu Ze asked in a low voice: "Are you going to the wedding banquet in the East Palace in a few days?"
Qi Yuning shook his head and said, "I won't go!"
She would not go any further in the East Palace. Qi Yuning said: "There has always been a saying about happiness and happiness. It will only be three or four days before you and I get married. We shouldn't go to the wedding banquet anymore. You can also use this The rule is not to go to the East Palace."
Lu Ze said: "I'm afraid I can't hide. It's okay if you don't go, just say that Lingling is sick. Just so that my parents can say that they got sick because of taking care of Lingling even if they don't show up."
Qi Yuning nodded lightly, counting the days, it was time for Lingling to arrive in Beicheng.
The letter saying that Lingling was safe in Beicheng would not come out until she arrived in Beicheng. It would take ten days at the earliest to receive the letter saying that Lingling was safe in Beicheng.
"Princess, the concierge is here to report that His Highness the Crown Prince wants to see Prince Lu."
Lu Ze and Qi Yuning looked at each other. Qi Yuning asked the maid who came to report the news: "Your Highness is at the gate of our palace?"
"yes."
Lu Ze comforted Qi Yuning and said, "You go back and rest first. I'll go see His Highness the Crown Prince."
Qi Yuning nodded and said, "Yes."
After Qi Yuning entered the room, he ordered Li Chun Guyu to take strict precautions against Chunjiang Courtyard.
In the lobby of Prince Qi's Mansion, rows of palace lanterns were burning, and the room was as bright as day.
The prince was sitting on the throne. When he saw Lu Ze approaching, he said, "I knew you were in the palace."
Lu Ze saluted the prince and said, "Your Highness."
"I wonder if your highness has something important to do? Why don't you go to the princess's mansion to have tea?"
Zhao Chong waved his hand and asked all the servants in the palace to get down.
But none of the servants in the palace obeyed Zhao Chongzhi's orders. Lu Ze nodded lightly towards the leading steward, and all the servants in Prince Qi's palace retreated one after another.
Zhao Chong stood up and sarcastically said to Lu Ze: "I didn't expect that your approval would be more useful than the crown prince Gu..."
Lu Ze cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness is joking. The servants in Prince Qi's Mansion are relatively loyal. I am only half a master in Prince Qi's Mansion, so they will listen to me."
Zhao Chongdao: "The so-called loyalty is loyalty to the emperor."
Lu Ze looked at Zhao Chong calmly and said, "Indeed, loyalty to the Lord is loyalty."
Zhao Chong sat down and said, "I heard from Uncle Qin that you are investigating the matter of afurong, and you also sent people to find the Persian envoy. Do you want the Persian envoy to testify for you that afurong is poisonous and addictive?"
When Lu Ze saw Zhao Chong asking such straightforward questions, he did not hide anything: "Your Highness, Your Majesty treats you well. Among so many sons, Your Majesty has given you all his preference. Sooner or later, you will be the future emperor." , why do you want to poison Your Majesty?"
Zhao Chongdao: "Ze'er, I don't want to harm my father, but my father is old. You also know that his body is already riddled with pain. My father cares about all the people and can't bear to let go of his power. I will give him the fragrance of afurong." , but I just want my father to live a relaxed and happy life before he dies, and do his best to be a filial son!"
Lu Ze sneered, "What a filial piety. I wonder when poisoning became a filial piety?"
Zhao Chong heard Lu Ze's sneer, frowned and said: "Ze'er, Gu is really devoted to Your Majesty. If you want to expose the affair of Afurong, Gu will not stop you.
It’s just that my father has always been wise. If hibiscus is not a good thing, how can he burn incense every day? It can be seen that aphrodisiac is enough to make his illness disappear. Since his illness is all gone, isn’t it also a sign of filial piety? "
Lu Ze frowned and said: "Since Your Highness can poison the love of father and son, why do you need to be so high-sounding? All you want is the throne of prosperity!"
Zhao Chong looked straight at Lu Ze and said, "You are right. Since Gu is the future master of the world, he cannot just watch his beloved woman marry his nephew."
Zhao Chong stood up and walked to Lu Ze and said: "Ze'er, no matter what the past is like between you and Qi Yuning, Qi Yuning will only be your aunt in the future!" (End of this chapter)
