Leng Xiao was startled for a moment, "So, he knew clearly that Princess Qing set you up on purpose, and also knew that Princess Qing's design was terrible, but for the sake of reputation and to prevent people from guessing the Lu family, he still let you marry Lin Zimo. concubine?"
Lu Zhilan nodded helplessly, tears of grievance falling down her face, "It's also my fault that I had unreasonable thoughts about the prince back then, and that's why I ended up where I am today. It's no one else's fault."
After dying once, she no longer fights. She will live whatever fate arranges for her. If she can't survive, then she will die. That's what happens anyway.
Leng Xiao felt incredible.
With Taifu Lu's identity and status in the court, and even his weight in front of the emperor, he could confront Princess Qing casually.
He actually knew that Princess Qing was a piece of mud now, but he just didn't want to wallow in the mud for fear of making himself embarrassed. He would rather sacrifice Lu Zhilan's happiness in exchange for the peace of the matter.
He came from a well-known family, was the prince's teacher, and was the emperor's favorite. He could not tolerate his Lu family being tarnished.
It is too easy to deal with such a face-loving and reputation-loving person.
No need to think about any advanced strategies.
Lu Zhilan sat quietly. She didn't know what to say, but she didn't want to leave either.
She has nowhere to go.
If she had not left the East Palace, even if she could not get a look from the prince, at least she could have lived a life without any worries, and she would not have been promised Lin's concubine.
She once had her own pride, but now she doesn't. She is as humble as an abandoned puppy.
I wanted to find a place to hide and catch my breath.
Leng Xiao didn't know what to say to her, so he could only sit with her for a while.
Sitting there for half an hour, she quietly watched the warm sunshine coming in from outside, and the dust flying in the sunlight. She couldn't take her eyes away, sometimes her eyes turned red, and sometimes she took deep breaths.
It wasn't until Ape came over in the front yard and said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming back that she slowly raised her head, paused and stood up, "I'm going back too, Crown Princess, I'm taking my leave!"
"Okay!" Leng Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. It was really awkward to sit down with her like this, mainly because she had nothing to say.
Lu Zhilan suddenly said: "Princess, I would like to ask you to take care of my maid A Ling."
"Huh? How to take care of it?"
Her eyes were full of pleading, "I will ask her to come to you later, please agree."
Leng Xiao didn't nod, but she didn't refuse either. Lu Zhilan took it as a promise and resigned.
Lu Zhilan left through the back door. She didn't want to meet the prince. She was too embarrassed to see the prince. The most important thing was that she was very depressed now and wanted him to remember her best appearance.
Leng Xiao saw her back. She used to straighten her back and move gracefully, but now she was carrying her back like an eggplant beaten by frost, and she had no energy at all.
As soon as she left, Nangong Yitian came back.
There was a faint anger on his face, but when his eyes saw Leng Xiao, the anger disappeared, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and the mood changed in just a moment.
Sometimes, if a straight man is enlightened, he will be more intense than anyone else. When he enters the door, he will ignore the presence of anyone. He will first hold Leng Xiao and kiss her, then hold her hand and go in. "Lu Zhilan has been here?"
As soon as he entered, Ape told him that he didn't want to meet Lu Zhilan, so he took a sip of tea in the main hall before coming in.
"Well, it is said that Mrs. Lu wants to give her to Lin Zimo as his concubine." Leng Xiao said.
Nangong Yitian was a little surprised, "Why?"
"According to her own statement, it was Princess Qing who took the people serving her over, tortured her, and testified that she had plotted to murder Little Turtle Egg. Taifu Lu was afraid that the news would be spread, so he agreed to whatever Princess Qing said. ”
