Chapter 10
Wei Xuan didn't delay for a moment, and rode his horse to the Zhenguo General's Mansion in Chang'an City.

The Eldest Princess Wei Wan greeted her personally, stepped forward to salute and said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is really a rare visitor, why do you have time to come to the mansion today, come here, please quickly invite the Crown Prince to sit in the front hall."

Wei Wan was born to Concubine Liu Shu, and she and Liang Wang Wei Li are brothers and sisters of the same mother. She has always looked down on Wei Xuan, thinking that his biological mother is just a lowly court lady who used despicable means to frame her brother by fawning on Empress Shen. Only then did he get the position of prince.

She doesn't like Empress Shen's strong manner, and Concubine Liu Shu regards Empress as a strong enemy.

Wei Xuan smiled politely and said, "Don't dare to bother Miss Huang, Gu came here today just to have a few words with Ming Tan."

Wei Wan showed suspicion. Wei Xuan seldom came to Zhenguo General's Mansion. Wei Xuan was not Empress Shen's own. Although he was the crown prince of the East Palace, he obeyed Empress Shen. In fact, he was a puppet of the Shen family and Empress Shen. It is really strange that today he actually came to the door for his own son.

"Come here, guide the way to Beiyuan for His Royal Highness. I am not feeling well these days, so I won't accompany Your Highness."

A puppet prince, of course, she would not give him some good looks. She is the eldest princess of Daxi, her biological mother is of noble background, and her husband is a top-ranking general of Zhenguo. She doesn't take Wei Xuan seriously.

After Wei Xuan left, Wei Wan said to Liu Ying, the female officer beside her, "Go and find out why the prince came to the mansion today."

Although Wei Wan looked down on Wei Xuan, she didn't dare to take it lightly. Wei Xuan had a deep mind, and it must not be easy for him to have such scheming and means at his age.

He and Empress Shen worked hand in hand to rule out differences in the palace, and the Shen family covered the sky with one hand above the court hall. His father revealed several times that he wanted to touch the Shen family, but he did not dare to act rashly.

But the Shen family tree is very popular, and the Shen family's success will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among various forces. In the future, they will join forces to get rid of him. Wei Xuan, the prince, will not last long. Once the empress falls, the mother and concubine will take the position. After all, the prince will be his younger brother, King Liang of.

And what she has to do is to protect the Zhen Guo General's Mansion and protect the status and glory of the Lu family when this court turmoil comes.

General Zhen Guo's mansion is very large, Beiyuan and Nanyuan are separated by a street, Emperor Yuan Jia loves this eldest daughter very much, General Zhen Guo has been fighting abroad for many years, Emperor Yuan Jia also relied heavily on this huge mansion, far surpassing The mansions of all civil servants and generals in Chang'an City.

"Your Highness, Beiyuan is ahead."

Wei Xuan nodded to signal the steward to step back. Seeing the steward walk away, Cui Jiu said, "It takes more than half an hour to walk to Beiyuan, and the eldest princess didn't ask anyone to arrange a sedan chair."

"This is not the East Palace, so be careful."

Wei Wan's perfunctory attitude towards him, how could he fail to see that the eldest princess and King Liang are brothers and sisters, and she still hated the fact that King Liang fell from his horse, so naturally she wouldn't tell him. What a good face.

It would be nice not to stab a knife in the back.

However, Wei Li went to the fief of Luoyang, and there has been no news from Luoyang over the years, and Wei Li has been keeping his own place in the fief as his King of Liang.

The Shen family is dominant, and Concubine Liu Shu's power is not enough to compete with the Shen family. It is also wise for King Liang to choose to hold back at this time.

"The imperial sister Gu has been favored since she was a child. General Lu has made great military achievements, and the General Zhen Guo's mansion is quite dependent on the father. Naturally, Gu respects the imperial sister very much."

In front is Lu Mingtan's residence in Beiyuan.

Since returning to the mansion, Lu Mingtan has been thinking about what Qi Jiuzhu said, remembering her thin back when she left, her leg was still hurt, but she endured the pain and said nothing.

She must have felt extremely wronged and sad.

He prepared the best wound medicine and a magnolia flower hairpin, put the wound medicine and the hairpin in a beautiful box, and planned to leave the house to personally send the wound medicine and the gift of apology to Qi's family.

Whose family's lord doesn't have many concubines, Qi Jiuzhu seems to be a smart person, and he probably won't really plan to give up this marriage because of his few angry words yesterday. It is not easy to find a better marriage in the General Zhen Guo's Mansion.The master of the Qi family will not give up such a good opportunity easily.

Lu Mingtan suddenly felt full of confidence. For this marriage, he only needs to send these two things, and he doesn't even need to say anything. Qi Jiuzhu naturally understands that he personally sent these two things to show that he is When Ri Ruoyan came in, he would not spoil his concubine and kill his wife, nor would he shake her position as the main wife of the General's Mansion.

The wife of the Qi family is a smart person, if he passes the ladder over, she will naturally come down the ladder.

Naturally, there is no need to withdraw from this marriage.

"His Royal Highness is here—"

Cui Jiu said loudly.

Seeing Wei Xuan coming, Lu Mingtan hurried forward to bow down, Wei Xuan personally helped him up and said: "This is not a palace, it's all a family, Mingtan doesn't need to perform such a big ceremony."

Although Wei Xuan is not older than him, and his mother and Wei Xuan are not siblings, he should indeed call Wei Xuan uncle.

There was a gentle smile on Wei Xuan's face, if it weren't for the rumors about Wei Xuan in the palace, Lu Mingtan would definitely have regarded him as an amiable elder.

Wei Xuan's eyes fell on the exquisite box on the table. Inside the box was a small bottle of medicinal powder and a magnolia flower hairpin. His gaze stayed in the box for a moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were somewhat cold.

"I heard that Mingtan is looking for something. I came here alone today because I want to return this thing to its original owner."

He nodded to Cui Jiu, and Cui Jiu took out the pre-prepared body deed and handed it to Lu Mingtan.

Lu Mingtan received the body deed, his face suddenly turned pale, this is Bo Ruoyan's body deed, a few days ago he sent someone to bring money to Zuixianfang to redeem someone, but that night happened to be a fire in Zuixianfang, his people went late After taking a step, the steward of Zuixianfang said that the deed was destroyed by the fire.

Now that the deed has been burned, he can save a lot of effort, so he secretly prepared a household registration for Bo Ruoyan, intending to change his name and surname, thinking that after he gets married, he will welcome Bo Ruoyan. Smoke entry as a concubine.

Unexpectedly, this body deed would be in Wei Xuan's hands.

What is his purpose in coming here today with Bo Ruoyan's body deed?Holding this body deed, Lu Mingtan's hands even began to tremble.

Ruoyan's identity cannot be revealed, if his mother and father know that he and the woman from the brothel are married, Ruoyan will not be spared.

"I don't know what His Highness means?" He looked at those smiling phoenix eyes, feeling a little apprehensive in his heart.

Wei Xuan still had a gentle smile on his face, and it was difficult to distinguish between emotions and anger, making it even more difficult to figure out what he was thinking.

"Guzhi Mingtan was looking for this body deed, so I personally sent it to show my sincerity."

The unabated smile on that handsome face made Lu Mingtan flustered, and what Wei Xuan said next made his back dripping with cold sweat.

"Gu also knows that my nephew has a deep affection for this woman, and he is reluctant to part with this woman for a day. If this body contract is destroyed, Mingtan can welcome her openly. As long as this woman has the status of a good woman, Naturally, Miss Huang will not object."

Wei Xuan was actually investigating him, and he could guess his purpose based on his body deed, but he didn't know what Wei Xuan wanted to do.
