"Madam, how did you know everything in advance?"
The strange things about the eldest princess were equally strange to Minghan.
Those people obviously came at night. If they didn't know in advance, they would never have guessed this.
"Do you have a wife who is with the eldest princess?"
Apart from this possibility, Ming Han really couldn't think of the reason.
Si Ning sat in the car, opened the curtain and looked at the scenery outside, feeling the breeze blowing on his face, feeling indescribably timid.
She listened to Ming Han's words and replied with a smile.
"Well, there is indeed an insider."
Lu Qingling is not just her insider.
Although she didn't tell Si Ning anything, Si Ning still guessed everything.
Before setting off, she saw Lu Qingling carrying a token around his waist. The token had the character "Liang" engraved on it.
If it's not the third prince's token, who does it belong to?
Logically speaking, it doesn't matter if you carry your sweetheart's token with you.
But it's strange to have to carry a token with you when attending the eldest princess's banquet.
When Si Ning asked Princess Li Xueying why Sun Moran didn't come to the banquet, she noticed that Lu Qingling's eyes changed from curiosity to disappointment.
Why the disappointment?
Because she knew that today was a trap, the eldest princess was able to make Sun Moran find an excuse not to show up for her safety, but Han Liangan did not let Lu Qingling avoid it.
All of the above made Si Ning wary.
Thinking of the young ladies who were invited to the banquet today, Si Ning quickly guessed the eldest princess's plan.
But she didn't expose them in person, but held the eldest princess's hand.
This handle will help her a lot, and it will be more practical than causing trouble for the eldest princess.
Si Ning didn't tell Ming Han this, so Ming Han took Si Ning's words that were true and kept praising Si Ning along the way.
Si Ning smiled and answered, and soon arrived in front of the Ning'an Marquis' Mansion.
When Si Ning got off the carriage and was about to enter the gate, someone called her.
"Mrs. Lu, please stay."
Si Ning turned around and saw a face that looked exactly like Li Xueying.
"Mrs. Li?"
She guessed that this must be Li Xueying's mother, the wife of the Minister of Justice.
Mrs. Li smiled gently and said, "Mrs. Lu, could you please take a moment to speak."
The two of them walked aside, and Mrs. Li took the opportunity to salute Si Ning. Si Ning quickly held the arm of the person opposite her with quick eyes and hands.
"Mrs. Li, what are you doing?"
"Xueying told me that it was Mrs. Lu who dragged them to play the game. I guess these children escaped today because Mrs. Lu helped."
Si Ning neither admitted nor denied, he just said.
"Madam, there is no need to be so polite. All ladies are blessed and will not suffer from this misfortune no matter what."
Mrs. Li heard the meaning of Si Ning's words and understood that if it weren't for Si Ning, their daughter would not have encountered such a disaster.
But instead of blaming everything on Si Ning, she was very polite to her.
"Anyway, thank you to Mrs. Lu for saving my daughter. My daughter is young and doesn't understand many rules. I will inevitably have to ask Mrs. Lu for advice in the future if I have the opportunity."
She wanted to make friends with Si Ning. Apart from Lu Hanxiao, she also felt that Si Ning was not a creature of the pond.
She was very good at judging people. When she got married, she had two choices.
The other man's family was rich and powerful, but his master was a poor scholar at the time. He didn't even have any decent clothes when he married her, but she resolutely chose his master.
Turns out she was right.
The rich and powerful man's family fell into decline, but her father got better and better and became the minister of punishment.
Mrs. Li was very optimistic about Si Ning. He was brave and resourceful, and was not comparable to those idiots in the capital.
She was interested in making friends, and Si Ning also accepted the favor.
Except for a few words of gratitude before, both of them tacitly did not mention today's events.
Because it was too late, Mrs. Li only exchanged greetings for a few words and then left.
It was already midnight when Si Ning returned to the house.
After Qiu Ju helped her wash up, Si Ning planned to talk to Lu Hanxiao about what happened today.
The eldest princess promised her that she would give her an explanation.
She wanted to discuss with Lu Hanxiao what kind of explanation she should give.
Maybe we can use this opportunity to take advantage of the eldest princess to take back the military department for Lu Hanxiao, so as to repay his kindness for helping her before.
But before these words were spoken, Lu Hanxiao had already spoken first.
"Go to sleep first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do."
"But……"
"Be obedient and sleep."
Si Ning didn't say any more. She thought she would wait until tomorrow morning to talk.
But when he opened his eyes, Lu Hanxiao was no longer there.
It was only a few days since the last time the court impeached Shen Ranhao that Lu Hanxiao went to court again.
This time he wants to impeach the current Holy Emperor's biological sister.
Everyone held their breath, knowing that Lu Hanxiao's move was undoubtedly a slap in the emperor's face. .
But Lu Hanxiao showed no fear at all and listed the eldest princess's crimes one by one.
"Your Majesty, I think that regardless of whether the eldest princess knew about this matter in advance, she failed to fulfill her responsibilities, and my wife was almost insulted. Mrs. Chen had a nightmare last night and is still in low spirits. I dare to ask the emperor for a favor. , I am allowed to resign, and I want to take my wife out of the imperial capital and return to the countryside."
"Lu Hanxiao, you are threatening me!"
The emperor was furious, and all the ministers in the palace held their breath, not daring to take a breath.
When the third prince saw this, he stood up and scolded.
"Lu Hanxiao, my aunt kindly invites everyone to enjoy the flowers. What's wrong? Those people are not the ones my aunt is looking for. Why do you have to push me so hard?"
Lu Hanxiao looked at Han Liangan, and Han Liangan did not dodge and met his gaze.
"For you to embarrass my father like this, is this what you, a minister, should do?"
"Third Prince, I have never mentioned those people. You are really well-informed. Have you heard about what happened last night this morning?"
"I……"
Han Liang Anxin was shocked and wanted to explain. Lu Hanxiao was already kneeling in the court hall and said to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I have no intention of persecution. I really can't bear any injustice to my wife. I did this just to keep my wife safe. I was seriously injured and fell into a coma. It was my wife who made me happy and helped wake me up. I had no intention of repaying her. I just wanted to protect her." This life is complete.”
The emperor's face had darkened visibly, but he did not get angry on the spot. He endured his rage and ordered his people to retreat from the court, leaving Lu Hanxiao alone.
Lu Hanxiao was called to the imperial study room and knelt there for two full hours before coming out.
As for what Lu Hanxiao said to the emperor in the imperial study, no one knew.
I only heard that when Lu Hanxiao came out, the emperor issued an imperial edict to Si Ning.
In addition to giving the county master Sining, she was also given a gold medal to avoid death. No one can easily decide whether Sining lives or dies.
When Si Ning received the imperial edict, he was not at all happy, but was very confused.
"Lu Hanxiao, why did the emperor issue such an imperial edict?"
