Chapter 34
Everyone couldn't help but focus on her.
"I dare to ask the Queen Mother, do you always want to assign Zhao Yutan to Xie Zhan, and assign the ministers to Qin Sheng?"
When everyone heard this, they took a deep breath. This woman is very bold!
"So what if it is, so what if it isn't?" the Queen Mother asked her in surprise.
"The Queen Mother knows that my daughter and Xie Zhan are engaged."
Lu Songli's words did not save the Queen Mother any face.
"Presumptuous!" Bang! The Queen Mother threw the cup in her hand and looked at Her Highness Lu Songli with an unkind look.
In the entire Changle Palace, everyone did not dare to show their anger.
Zhao Yutan lowered her head slightly to prevent others from seeing the current expression on her face.
Xie Zhan shook his head in his heart, feeling helpless towards Lu Songli. We have reached this point, just obey, why bother struggling? It only offended the Queen Mother and was not good for the Lu family.
Qin Sheng glanced at Xie Zhan and Zhao Yutan unhappily, then pursed his lips.
Several princes and concubines felt that Lu Songli was very courageous. This is inconsistent with the rumors. Didn't it mean that she had always been quiet and timid, but Zhao Yutan was the one who followed her lead? This is nothing like it. But when I think about the current situation, I can understand that she is really working too hard for her fiancé.
More than a few princes and concubines felt that Lu Songli was not timid at all. Others felt the same way, especially those around the Queen Mother. They originally summoned the four people to enter the palace alone, just to simply give them gifts without any resistance. marriage. After all, Jiang's reputation for being messy and shrewd was well-known. It would be too ugly if she caused trouble in Changle Palace. Now it seems that it was a mistake.
Only after falling into the water, Xie Zhan and Zhao Yutan, who had had two contacts with Lu Songli, felt that she had changed too much.
Qin Sheng didn't have as complicated thoughts as they did. The only time he met Lu Songli was after she fell into the water. She was very courageous and strong. Before that, he paid no attention to her. Even his fiancée, he rarely paid attention to her.
Lu Songli was unaware of the disturbing thoughts in everyone's mind. She knelt there and did not regret her directness. As the saying goes, good people will never come if they come with bad intentions. The Queen Mother obviously had a prejudice against her, and it would not change because of her deference. Of course it doesn't go her way and the impression will be even worse. But there are too many lice and it doesn’t itch.
But Lu Songli has always believed that at some point, the initiative still has to be in her own hands. Knowing that the Queen Mother planned to support Zhao Yutan, how could she let the Queen Mother make the decision? Isn’t that the case that people use swords and food to eat fish and meat? Moreover, although the words spoken by the Queen Mother were not as precise as the Emperor's, they were still very precise. How dare she let her speak out.
Aunt Rong Qiu was the Queen Mother's dowry maid back then, and she was very proud in front of the Queen Mother.
At this time, Aunt Rong Qiu stepped forward and caressed the Queen Mother's chest, and then said to the kneeling Lu Songli in a slow voice and sincerely, "Why are you such a naughty child? The Queen Mother is also kind-hearted and wants to help you solve the problem between you. The messy marriage issue between us. If no one interferes and things are allowed to continue to develop, do you think you will have any good fruits? My child, you can't be so ignorant. "
Lu Songli lowered her eyes slightly. One of them played the red face, and the other played the bad face. They worked well together.
Everyone was looking at her. She couldn't be tough anymore, otherwise the talk would break down, so she softened her attitude and said, "Empress Dowager, do you know the reason for the marriage between my daughter and Xie Zhan?"
The Queen Mother didn't say anything, and it was Rong Qiu who was beside her who answered the question, "I heard that you saved his life back then, and then thanked Huaili for making an engagement for you."
Lu Songli nodded, "It was during the twelfth lunar month of winter when I rescued him. After I rescued him, I soaked in ice water for more than an hour, which left indelible pain on my body."
"We have all heard this, but doesn't it matter that your heart is ailing?"
Lu Songli looked at her superiors and gave a wry smile, "Empress Dowager, please send an imperial doctor to come and take a look at me."
Hearing this, Zhao Yutan couldn't help but tighten the handkerchief in his hand.
Xie Zhan pursed his lips tightly because of this.
Qin Sheng frowned, what kind of riddle are these people trying to solve?
Although she didn't know what kind of riddle she was playing, after asking the Queen Mother with her eyes, Grandma Rong Qiu asked the palace maid to invite an imperial physician. During this period, Grandma Rong Qiu asked her to get up.
The imperial doctor arrived soon, and he was very good at female medicine.
The imperial doctor took her pulse for a long time. Although nothing could be seen from the imperial doctor's face, everyone knew that Lu Songli's physical problem must be serious.
"Mr. Chen, how is Lu Songli's heart condition? Is it okay?"
"Miss Lu's heart disease should get better if she takes medicine on time. But..." Doctor Chen glanced around, his face full of embarrassment.
"Mr. Chen, please just tell me the results of your pulse diagnosis." Lu Songli said calmly. Fortunately, she kept an eye on it and didn't immediately take medicine to nurse herself back to health. She originally wanted to use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate terms with the Xie family. But now it’s used here, it’s very good.
Hearing this, Zhao Yutan was in disbelief. Does Lu Songli know what he is talking about? With her body like that, if it were exposed, wouldn't she be afraid of being disliked by the world? Once this secret is exposed, I'm afraid all the good families she can find in Chang'an City will avoid her, right? Thinking of this, her heart tightened again. Did Lu Songli really rely on the Xie family? That's why you don't care?
Xie Zhan was also surprised. He looked at Lu Songli's expression carefully and had some kind of guess in his mind. Did she know? But when they got married, the two families made an agreement that no one else would know the true condition of her body except her parents and her grandfather. Even she herself didn't know, and Lu Desheng and his wife would not tell her. . So how did she know the true condition of her body?
Lu Songli saw the expressions of the two of them, and she raised her eyebrows. She had known the fundamental problem with her body for a long time. Why, did everyone think that she would suffer the loss of being mute?
The Queen Mother and others also realized at this time that there might be something wrong with her body.
"Miss Lu Er's body is cold. She must have been in an extremely cold place when she was a child, which damaged her foundation. She is usually afraid of the cold and prefers warmth, and the sunflower water is unstable. During this period, the pain is unbearable. It will be difficult to have children when she gets married in the future."
boom! Everyone looked at Lu Songli in disbelief.
Qin Sheng raised his head and glanced at Lu Songli in surprise, is it so miserable? Then he pursed his lips.
The eyes of several princes and concubines exchanged wildly.
is this real?
The diagnosis made by the imperial physician can still be false.
This is too tragic.
Some people are afraid that they won't be able to get what they want.
Grandma Rong Qiu glanced at her master and confirmed to Lu Songli, "In other words, when you saved Xie Zhan back then, you not only suffered from heart disease, but also because the cold air entered your body and damaged your roots, you were unable to have children?"
Lu Songli nodded, "Yes."
This was the more secret reason why they thanked the Lu family for getting married. After Lu Songli rescued someone, she soaked in ice water for too long, and the cold air entered her body. This was the biggest reason why the Xie and Lu families decided to get engaged in the first place. All because of the life-saving grace, there is no repayment. For this reason, only a handful of people know about it, not even the original owner himself. She also deduced it after she came over and noticed something strange in her body.
So, Queen Mother, how can you bear to take away the marriage she bought with her life?
As she nodded, the people present couldn't help but sigh. She really posed a difficult problem for the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother squeezed the Buddhist beads in her hand fiercely! She also looked very unhappy. Why didn't the boy from the Xie family tell her about such a big matter? Doesn't this just make her lose face?
The Queen Mother gave Lu Songli a gloomy look. Originally, she wanted to use tonight to gather people and then decree a marriage between Xie Zhan and Zhao Yutan. Now, after learning such a secret, if she offers marriage to the two of them again, she will definitely be pointed at and scolded.
Grandma Rong Qiu glanced at her master and sighed in her heart. Miss Lu was nothing to be afraid of, but her father Lu Desheng was not someone to be trifled with. She could not let anyone criticize the Queen Mother for this. Killing a mouse and knocking over a jade vase is not worth it. Even the harem has heard about Lu Desheng's power. If the Queen Mother is really impeached for this, she will be really disgraced. Even if Lu Desheng is concerned about the Queen Mother, what about the Cheng'en family?
