The mistress of the Hou family went crazy after doting on concubines and killing their wives.

Chapter 88 The mysterious visitor
Li Yuyi was not in the mood to fight with him, and calmed down, saying calmly: "I will let others investigate."

Qin Haotian's heart skipped a beat, had he used too much force?
He smiled bitterly: "I will fulfill your wish for you. I'll take my leave."

Li Yuyi was stunned for a moment.

Lu Wan watched him leave, always feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out.

"Sister Yuyi, I don't know many things." Lu Wan took a pillow and placed it on Li Yuyi's lower back, her big eyes full of doubts.

"You are still young, and you won't understand this kind of thing if I tell you." Li Yuyi touched her face, "But when you grow up and marry into the complicated Xie family, you have to understand the relationship between these meritorious families."

For the first time, Lu Wan heard Li Yuyi describe things about the Xu family.

She said that that year she went to the Xu family to play with Xu Yun, and a eunuch who followed her took the opportunity to sneak into Xu Yun's study and steal a stack of letters and account books. This was evidence of the Xu family's corruption.

And she had been kept in the dark. During that time, the prince was sent to Beijing to work for his father. She did not pay attention to the movements in the court until the eldest prince Li Haochuan came to tell her that the eunuch was one of his people and that the evidence of the Xu family's crimes was conclusive. , she made a great contribution and killed her relatives for justice.

Only then did she realize that she was being used.

She went to cry to her father and risked her life to ensure that the Xu family was not corrupt.

Although the Xu family were military generals, everything they captured from each battle was basically handed over to the court. Later, when the war stopped, Xu Yun obtained merit and became a civil servant in Bianjing. The Xu family has always been clean, so how could it be possible for him to be corrupt.

But her father told her that Duke Xu's mansion in Jiangling could be called a small palace. Nowadays, not only are there correspondence and account books from the Bianjing Mansion, but the people sent to the Xu Mansion in Jiangling also confiscated a large amount of property, which is enough to prove that the Xu family embezzled huge sums of money.

Her father asked her not to interfere in the government affairs of the court. He also asked her to take on the wedding obligations of the royal princess and not to marry whomever she liked. He threatened her that the marriage of a royal princess was never arbitrary, otherwise it would harm the queen mother and the prince's brother.

Li Yuyi spent the next few years trying to find ways to secretly find out the whereabouts of the Xu family, until her father granted her a marriage and she was forced to marry Lu Qianzhi.

Lu Wan suddenly understood what was wrong.

"Why do I think these things are all related to the eldest prince? It's as if it was the imperial concubine's idea for me to marry into the Xie family. They knew they wanted to take advantage of me to gain access to my maternal family. Could it be that the imperial concubine Lu wanted to control all the power..."

Does she want to seize the legitimate heir?

Lu Wan was shocked by her thoughts.

Li Yuyi touched her head happily: "Wan'er has grown up and knows how to think."

Lu Wan suddenly understood.

No wonder I heard that something happened to the queen and prince at the last moment of my previous life.

Therefore, if you want to protect your family and those who love her, you don't have to just be alone.

What she has to face may be a battle for imperial power!

Lu Wan said firmly: "Sister Yuyi, when I grow up, I can help you fight against these people."

Li Yuyi touched her face: "Protecting yourself is the most important thing."

It was the first time Lu Wan saw her looking so serious.

"Concubine Lu is definitely not a kind person. The Lu family has been a big family for five hundred years. It has produced two Zhongshu Ling and three Zuopushe. It has still stood firm after five dynasties. If it were not for the mother-in-law, the family started from Tongchuan Prefecture and fought hard. He tried his best to help his father fight all the way. When his father finally ascended the throne, almost all the generals of his mother's family were killed. The mother and queen who had been accompanying his father probably would not be crowned queen. However, the day after the title, his father would be crowned queen. The daughter of the Lu family who opened the gates of Bianjing and surrendered was made a noble concubine. The mother was sad, but there was nothing she could do for the sake of the overall situation. "

Now the Duke's wife is Concubine Lu's aunt. Except for Yongchenghou, the other four princes are all minions of Concubine Lu. The Lu family's relationship is entangled in the Bianjing network and it is not easy to get rid of it. "

Li Yuyi used the word "get rid of", and Lu Wan's expression became serious.

In her previous life, she only cared about her own world, and was eventually trapped to death by the world she tried her best to protect.

In this life, she abandoned love and saw a broader world.

There was a hot blood burning in her body, gradually boiling.

Women can also stand tall!

"Actually, the fact that Concubine Lu dares to be so arrogant is related to the fact that my father wants to eliminate the meritorious family with great achievements." Lu Wan was shocked. It turned out that what happened to the Duke of Qin's palace was not a unilateral act of the Xie family, but for the sake of imperial power. Steady, planned elimination!

Therefore, my grandmother actually saw through it, so she moved the family back to Jiyang to avoid the sharp edge.

But, later on, when my uncle grew up and led the army, he made great achievements in battle, so did the high-ranking people fear him again?

Lu Wan was filled with panic.

If so, how can she protect the Qin family?

"Let me tell you one more thing. Do you know why my mother and I kept trying to match you up with Haochuan two years ago? It was because my father wanted to choose a concubine for the prince, and the first choice was Lu Liuli."

"She? With her kind of virtue, how can she be a crown princess?" Lu Wan frowned.

"Who says it's not the case? The Lu family has always been worried about not getting the position." Li Yuyi sighed.

"Although you two have known each other since childhood and often played together, we can also see that you treat him like a brother and have no relationship between men and women. We are not willing to use your marriage to protect the imperial power. We also tested you and I didn’t want to persuade my father to issue a decree to marry me, but I didn’t expect you to rush into Xie Huaiyu.”

Lu Wan glared at her: "Sister Yuyi should hit me with a big mallet to wake me up."

Li Yuyi smiled and pinched her swollen cheeks: "I don't want to let go."

While the two were talking, the female official's voice came from outside: "Princess, the Prince's Palace has brought a guest and said he wants to see Miss Lu."

Li Yuyi hurriedly sat up: "Hurry and help me dress up and change clothes. Whoever brought me here to see you so solemnly must be an important person."

Lu Wan was also surprised and asked in surprise: "How does the prince brother know that I am here?"

"Because someone has left a guard here to protect you. If he wants to find you, he will find you soon." Li Yuyi said with a smile.

Someone sent a guard to protect her?
Who is so leisurely and kind-hearted?

The female officer filed in with a group of palace maids, and quickly put makeup and clothes on Li Yuyi without asking any questions.

Li Yuyi took Lu Wan's hand: "There are some things I don't want my brother to know. He is still young and sometimes can't bear his temper. As a woman, all you can do is not let your family worry, do you understand?"

Lu Wan nodded.

She understood that Li Yuyi was referring to the scandalous things in Marquis Wenxin's family.

If she were in her previous life, she would not only understand, but also think so.

But my mind has changed in this life.

Why must women endure it?
Perhaps even after enduring it, the family members were worried, or even made things worse because of the tolerance, until they regretted it.

Despite Li Yuyi's fiery appearance and strong personality, Lu Wan actually understood her. When she knew that Li Yuyi had suffered so much in her heart, she understood her even more. She was warm-hearted, kind-hearted, and always considerate of others.

But she has developed a new personality in this life, and she will be punished!
The two held hands and went to the Magnolia Pavilion in the inner courtyard.

Just as Lu Wan was wondering, Li Yuyi told her that this was a place specially prepared for the prince to discuss affairs.

Because the inner courtyard was hidden, a double passage was specially built through the side courtyard. Only she and Li Haoyu had the keys to the doors on both sides. He could use them if needed.

But Li Haoyu actually used a hidden place to bring people here. They must be important people.

Lu Wan felt uneasy.

who can that be?

I’m so happy and feeling refreshed, so I’ll work hard on coding today.

Please give me some votes, do you have any?
