Chapter 77 Silence is terrible

There was no disturbance throughout the night, but Lu Wanlan slept peacefully, but just after dawn, the birds outside the window were chirping non-stop, which made her dizzy.

All the girls in the Lu family knew that she had a habit of sleeping late and would never come in so early to disturb her, but today Xiaoxi didn't know why Xiaoxi was so upset that she brought face wash mixed with rose dew early, Hastily rushed in.

"Girl, girl, wake up quickly, the maidservant is going to wash and dress you now, there is still time."

With drooping eyelids, Lu Wanlan slowly got up from the bed, stared blankly at the soft quilt in front of her for a long time, then closed her eyes and lay back down with a bang.

Failed to get up.

Xiaoxi couldn't help saying, she wet the snow-white handkerchief from the water basin, twisted it, and slapped her face directly:
"Girl, get up quickly, the prince will come to the house for breakfast in a while, it really doesn't look like this."

"Oh~" Lu Wanlan moaned lazily after being provoked by Leng Pa.

"The concubine made all kinds of snacks and side dishes early in the morning, and specially asked the prince to bring them to the girl. Even if you don't want to talk to the prince, you should give the concubine some face, right?"

While talking, Xiaoxi had already pulled her daughter and sat in front of the bronze mirror.

Staring at the dark circles under her eyes that were about to fall to her cheekbones in the mirror, Lu Wanlan yawned, and slowly rolled her eyes:
"And~ he won't come over for breakfast, why should he want me to accompany him~"

Thinking of what Xiao Yanzhi did last night, she wished she could give him two panda eyes too!
But Concubine Shu showed her kindness, and her mother-in-law tried her best to create opportunities for the two of them, so she couldn't be too ungrateful.

Letting Xiao Xi paint her face with makeup, Lu Wanlan immediately closed her phoenix eyes, as if she was about to fall asleep again:
"Just put on some rouge..."

Xiaoxi's hands stopped moving: "The girl is so haggard, don't you want to cover her tired face? The prince is also pleasing to the eye."

"No need!" He did a good thing by himself, so why should he be pleasing to the eye!

After dressing up, just in time for the maids to come in with all kinds of dishes, in the blink of an eye, the entire outer round table was filled with dishes of various colors.

Xiao Yanzhi was sitting beside the red sandalwood table, dressed in an indigo-colored brocade robe woven with gold silk and lin patterns, making him extremely handsome.The golden crown inlaid with jewels is even more unrestrained in the afterglow of the morning sun, which makes people can't help but take a second look.

Lu Wanlan looked down at herself, she couldn't help but want to raise her hand to cover the dark circles under her plain long dress with little water in it.

"Sit down."

Seeing Xiao Yanzhi squinting his eyes slightly, smiling like a white lotus to himself, as if nothing happened yesterday.Lu Wanlan gritted her teeth bitterly:
"Morning, my lord."

"My concubine made some snacks, try to see if it suits your appetite."

Xiao Yanzhi ignored her fluctuating emotions, and put a piece of white jade lotus seed cake on the porcelain plate in front of Lu Wanlan. Seeing that she didn't move the chopsticks, he scooped up another bowl of porridge and put it in front of her.

When Lu Wanlan heard him coming, she had no appetite at first.But as soon as I smelled the fragrance, my stomach growled.

On second thought, death from anger is a minor issue, but death from starvation is a major issue!

How can you fight him if you don't eat and drink enough?
Sighing, he ate silently.

Seeing her unabated appetite, Xiao Yanzhi felt relieved: "The prince is not in the palace these two days, and the concubine will just stay there obediently and is not allowed to go anywhere."

"Oh."

Lu Wanlan didn't even look at him, she just ate the porridge, she agreed on the surface, but she didn't know where her mind went.

No wonder he was dressed like his second brother, and after a long time he was going out.

"Last night, there were people from the Seventh Division of Danba all over the capital. Most of the shadow guards of the Lu family and the dead soldiers of the palace were lured out, so they took the opportunity to sneak into the palace. They may have come here for the wolf king bone knife. , Maybe there are other purposes. The princess should not interfere with Xianbu's matter."

Seeing that the little man was silent, Xiao Yanzhi guessed that she must still be angry with him because of what happened last night.

But where can he live better?It's really a lot of torture to set a fire all over the body, but there is no way for her to put it out.

After scooping up the clear porridge twice, he didn't have any appetite at all, so he got up silently: "Eat slowly."

After speaking, he turned and left.

As soon as Xiao Yan stepped out of the gate of the palace, several shadow guards followed him.

Chi Zheng knocked on the door and came in to reply: "My lord has gone to the suburbs of Beijing."

"Well, keep an eye on it first, let's join in the fun in two days." Lu Wanlan wiped her mouth and went inside.

Walking to the bed, I fell headlong...

In the next few days, Lu Wanlan was happy to be at leisure, and Xianbu's clues were almost found, and he only had to wait for Fang Qiwen to be interrogated after he recovered from his injuries, before discussing.

Now that the water in the entire capital is muddy, it's hard to guarantee that someone won't take the opportunity to stir up the situation and turn the world upside down, so she won't go into the muddy water like a fool.

And the second elder brother Lu Yunfan and the sixth elder brother Lu Yunce both died, and they lay on the bed every day, stretching out their clothes to eat and opening their mouths, refusing to accept any grievances.

As soon as the second elder brother was injured, the fourth eldest Lu Yunzhao began to work hard for the Lu family's business. When he saw the bad debts of the Huanyi Building, he was so angry that he would pull out his hair.

All the properties I handled and the money I earned were all entertained by this swinger!

The fifth elder brother Lu Yungui shuttled between the palace, Prince Yan's Mansion and Dingguo Mansion to take care of the sick, he was very busy.

People with a discerning eye can see that this Lu family has committed some taboo recently, otherwise why would the brothers and sisters have suffered bloody disasters?

However, recently, the melons in the capital have really come in waves one after another, and the affairs of the Lu family were forgotten in the blink of an eye.

But what the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not expect was that the explosion of the Fireworks Bureau, Shuntian Mansion and Dali Temple conducted multiple investigations, and no clues were found at the scene of the crime.

And a girl died in the Xie family, and such a big incident happened, not only did Grand Tutor Xie not return to Beijing, even Xie Yingying's funeral was hasty.

The entire capital, like a pool of stagnant water, was eerily silent.

In two days' time it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, without his younger sister Zhang Luo, the fourth elder brother Lu Yunzhao will prepare all kinds of gifts for Dingguo Mansion and Yanwang Mansion early in the morning.

This is Lu Wanlan's first Mid-Autumn Festival after traveling to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Hearing Xiaoxi tell her in the past few days, the Mid-Autumn Festival will feature lanterns, guess lantern riddles, and worship the moon and distribute moon cakes together... Thinking of the bustle and bustle of Ping'an Street, I look forward to this holiday even more.

Fortunately, fifth elder brother Lu Yungui's medical skills are superb, and she obediently took medicine and did not run around. The wound on her arm scabbed within a few days.

As soon as the injury healed, the whole person was ready to move.

Lu Wanlan caught Xiaoxi again this day and asked her about the Mid-Autumn Festival, but today this girl is not as happy as she was a few days ago.Even when he saw her, his eyes were still a little evasive.

"Xiaoxi? What's wrong with you?"

"Ah? Oh, girl, I bought all the materials for that Mid-Autumn Festival lantern for you." After replying to Lu Wanlan's words, Xiaoxi lowered her head and pouted again, but her heart became anxious.

Do you want to tell the girl? Chi Zheng didn't say anything when he knew it. If he talked too much, would he make the girl sad?

"Speak up if you have something to say, and if you don't say anything, I'll send you back to Liaodong." Lu Wanlan calmed down, fiddling with the colored paper in his hand, "In a few days, it will snow in Liaodong, tsk tsk tsk..."

"Girl, please tell me Xiaoxi." Hearing this, the little girl turned pale with fright, and fell to her knees, "Xiaoxi went to the south of the city to buy flower lamp wicks today, and went to see the prince..."

"Where did he go?"

"...the brothel..."
