Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 707
She wasn't ready to face Lu Changan like this, so she subconsciously avoided his sight.

Seeing that Lu Changan was not in a good mood, Xue Changfeng let out a cold snort and left.

"Yixiangzhai's golden silk cakes are not easy to buy." Lu Changan said in a gentle voice.

It was only then that Liu Yunxiang saw that Lu Changan was holding a red-painted food box in his hand, with the words Yixiangzhai engraved on it.

"You, have you gone to buy gold cake?"

"Last night's was a bit cold, and the taste is much worse. It's just out of the pan. You should try it."

When Lu Changan brought it over, Liu Yunxiang paused for a moment, then raised his hand to catch it.Under his gentle gaze, Liu Yunxiang opened the box a little stiffly, and the golden silk cake inside was still steaming.

"Is there a lot of people?"

"We've been waiting in line for half an hour."

Liu Yunxiang exhaled secretly, took one out, put it into his mouth, it was soft and glutinous, the sesame stuffing made of honey flowed into his mouth, and the mouthful was full of fragrance, after another aftertaste, it was indeed the coolness of mint, it was indeed more delicious than the cold one too much.

"The golden silk cake yesterday was given by someone else, not Danqing's."

When Liu Yunxiang heard this, his expression froze suddenly. It seemed that he knew what she asked Danqing last night, and guessed what she knew from it.

"Really." Liu Yunxiang continued to eat calmly.

Lu Changan smiled, "A gift from a friend."

"Oh."

"only friends."

Liu Yunxiang looked up and saw that Lu Changan was still looking at her with gentle eyes, but she felt a little uncomfortable, "You don't need to explain to me."

"Some things have happened, but it doesn't necessarily mean anything. It may be a last resort, or it may be just a means. In the end, sincerity is the most important thing, isn't it?"

Liu Yunxiang pursed her lips. If he was explaining his relationship with Murong Lingyi as a means, she would not agree.

Putting aside whether you love or not, you can induce others to fall in love with you, and use this love to achieve your own goals, and even hurt innocent lives. This is something that only a terrible person can do.

In particular, he didn't feel that he was wrong!

Liu Yunxiang looked at Lu Chang'an, at this moment, she could see clearly that Lu Chang'an was no longer the gentle and aristocratic son, the one who dedicated his life for righteousness.

Wrong and right, it's not for her to comment, she can only say that she doesn't agree.

Lu Changan lowered his head and smiled, "You will understand me in the future."

"probably not."

"Yunxiang..." Lu Changan sighed, "Forget it, I came here to tell you that Princess Xiyue came to Shengjing to participate in the Queen's Empress's Qianqiu Festival, but was hijacked by a group of local bandits while passing through the northwest. It is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, the emperor ordered me to go back to the northwest immediately to rescue Princess Xiyue."

"Order you to go? But hasn't your military power been handed over?"

"Since I left the Northwest, many places have been plagued by bandits, and the court couldn't find anyone to take over. In addition, the matter of Princess Xiyue is really urgent, so the general power is still handed over to me, and I will continue to lead the Northwest Army."

When Lu Changan said this, his tone was calm, but Liu Yunxiang saw the confidence in his expression, and when he handed it over, he was sure that he would be able to take it out, and the emperor had to beg him to catch it.

What banditry, what can't find someone to take over, maybe it's his strategy, and the kidnapping of Princess Xiyue is probably also his doing.

Thinking of this, Liu Yunxiang was secretly taken aback, she had already begun to analyze Lu Changan in this way, abandoning trust, only gains and losses and scheming.

But with such an analysis, many things will go smoothly.

"I should go soon and be back before the Qianqiu Festival." Lu Changan said again.

Liu Yunxiang smiled lightly, "Your Majesty, you don't have to explain this to me."

Lu Changan shook his head, "I'm actually worried about you. The emperor bestowed a marriage on His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince. It's very difficult to change this with your power."

"Your Majesty, don't worry about me."

"You seem to be drawing a line with me?"

Liu Yunxiang sighed, and looked up at Lu Changan, "I have a husband, I have children, even friends, the son is too worried. But I still hope that the son will have a safe journey and take care of his health."

Lu Chang looked at Liu Yunxiang quietly, his eyes were still gentle, but he showed a wry smile.

"Okay, I get it."

Lu Changan left, walking in the alley, his back became farther and farther away, and it became colder and colder.Liu Yunxiang frowned, but she didn't expect that she and Lu Changan would come to this point, and they would stand on opposite sides in the future.

In the next few days, there were two more heavy snowfalls.

Liu Yunxiang was worried about Yan Mu's injury, but fortunately Xue Changfeng sent her a message from time to time, which made her feel more at ease.

On this day, Xingyi wanted to eat glutinous rice cakes, and Aunt Zhang planned to make more to distribute to the guys in the grain shop, so she called Zijin to go to the street with her to help with the food.

When Zijin heard that there was something delicious, Le Diandian followed him.

Liu Yunxiang hadn't been out these few days, and he was really bored, so he went with them.

It was already the twelfth lunar month of winter. Although it was a market, there were not many stalls and pedestrians.Aunt Zhang wanted to buy red dates, she looked at one of them, and finally stopped in front of an old acquaintance.

Before buying jujubes, let's chatter, "Oh, old Jiang's house at the northernmost end of Qianjie Hutong, you still remember. His daughter is promising and married to the fourth prince as a side concubine. Now Mrs. Jiang is seriously ill and wants to see her daughter for the last time , I have handed over several letters, but the prince's mansion won't let anyone go."

"Yo, why is this?" Aunt Zhang became interested.

"The side concubine Jiang is pregnant. It's cold and the ground is slippery. I'm afraid that she will be sad and affect the fetus with the old lady, so I won't let the mother and daughter see each other for the last time." The woman who sells dates came closer and whispered talking.

"Tsk tsk, this is too unkind."

"However, I heard that Concubine Jiang secretly ran back, but the people from the Prince's Mansion came to find her later, saying that she was going to take her away."

Aunt Zhang glanced at the alley ahead, "Sure enough, there are quite a few people who look like guards."

"If it weren't for the stalls, I would want to go and see the excitement."

Aunt Zhang laughed, "Then you weigh the dates for me, and I'll watch the fun for you?"

"You old bastard!"

Mrs. Zhang likes to join in the fun. After putting down the basket, she dragged Liu Yunxiang and the others forward.

"Yo, there are a lot of people around!"

Liu Yunxiang doesn't like to join in the excitement nearby, but Jiang Yunying's, she really wants to see it.

Qianjie Hutong is very close to here, a dozen steps away, when they passed by, there were indeed many people watching the excitement outside, but they were all blocked by the guards.

Aunt Zhang squeezed left and right and successfully brought Liu Yunxiang and the others to the front. She poked her head and took a look before turning to ask the people next to her.

"Why are there so many people here?"

The lady next to her replied: "It seems that the fourth imperial concubine is here, probably to take away the Jiang family girl."

"It's all here, can't you let the mother and daughter stay longer?"

"No, it's said that Mrs. Jiang has been exhaling more and less inhaling. I guess it will be today."

Liu Yunxiang tilted her head and looked over, and saw Bai Jingyu coming out of Jiang's house, followed by a few women, who were holding Jiang Yunying, who was crying with tears all over her face.

"Sister, please do me a favor, let me talk to my mother again!"
