After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 387 I'm afraid you don't want her to die
"It's not Your Highness that I'm worried about, but the secret recipe. It's a secret recipe and it can't be publicized casually. Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives gets to know it, how can I run my roast duck restaurant? But if Your Highness is interested, it's okay to tell you." Qiao Jingjing said with a smile.

"Forget it, I'm just talking. I'm not that interested." The eldest princess shrugged.

As they were talking, the three of them arrived at Beijing Roast Duck.

Qiao Jingjing reserved a special private room here so that it would be more convenient for her family to come and eat.

Seeing that the store was busy, she did not call Manager Lin and went upstairs with the two of them.

At this moment, a voice called out to them.

"What a coincidence, I actually met the three of you here."

The three of them turned their heads and immediately frowned.

Especially the eldest princess, a cold look flashed in her eyes.

"You three seem unhappy to meet me." Prince Ning waved his fan, slapped the eldest princess in the face calmly, and said lightly.

Seeing that the princess was silent, Qiao Jingjing had no choice but to speak up: "Prince Ning is worrying too much. Since Prince Ning has a friend, the three of us will not disturb him any more."

Prince Ning chuckled, "Madam Lu, your words are really polite. It's rare to meet someone like you. How about I host you today? Please do me a favor."

"Thank you for your kindness, King Ning. The three of us have already reserved a seat, and some friends will be coming over soon. King Ning, please go on your own." Qiao Jingjing declined.

Hearing this, Prince Ning was somewhat displeased, but he said nothing more and left with his friend.

The three of them felt a little unlucky, but when they saw the person leave, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But what the three of them didn't expect was that when they finished eating the roast duck and came out of the private room, they met King Ning again.

Prince Ning leaned on the wooden railing on the second floor, looking at them leisurely and smiling, "Three of you, have you finished your meal? Now can you give me a chance to invite you to have a cup of tea at Yulu Tea House?"

The three of them paused.

Why is this person still lingering?
And it looks like he was waiting here on purpose.

"Chu Yu, you are really idle." The eldest princess couldn't help but sneer at this time.

Prince Ning spread his hands and said, "I'm just free, right?" As he said this, he glanced coldly at Qiao Jingjing.

Qiao Jingjing pretended not to see it.

The last time Lu Xingzhi advised the emperor that Prince Ning had the intention of rebellion, the emperor found a pretext to keep Prince Ning in the capital and did not allow him to return to his fiefdom.

So although Prince Ning seems free now, he is actually not free because he cannot leave the city.

The glance he gave just now showed that he knew it was Lu Xingzhi who made the suggestion to the emperor.

"Sister, what have you thought about the previous matter?" At this time, King Ning turned his gaze to the eldest princess and said meaningfully.

The eldest princess's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Chu Yu, don't treat people as fools."

Prince Ning paused, frowned and said, "Sister, you are worrying too much. I just can't bear to see you being kept in the dark, so I told you the truth."

"The truth? I think it's clearly a lie you made up." The eldest princess said coldly.

Last time, she almost believed what he said and thought that her mother was the murderer of her mother.

This person has a really vicious mind.

It was clearly his mother who killed his biological mother, but he still wanted to put the blame on his mother, the Queen Mother.

He wanted to destroy the relationship between her and the emperor's brother.

If she believed him and regarded her mother as an enemy, she would be standing against her younger brother.

Prince Ning did that because he wanted the troops in her hands.

If Qin Xuan hadn't analyzed it for her, she would have been led by Chu Yu.

He used a trumped-up incident to try to divide her and his younger brother. He deserves death.

"Why would I do that? My sister has wronged me." King Ning smiled bitterly.

"You know clearly whether you have been wronged or not." The eldest princess said impatiently.

King Ning sighed, "Since you don't believe me, then just pretend that I said nothing. But you won't refuse a cup of tea, right?" Qiao Jingjing looked at him in surprise.

Things have come to this point, but I didn't expect that he would still insist on inviting the three of them to have tea.

"Forget about having tea, and then say goodbye." The princess was too lazy to deal with him anymore and refused directly.

When Qiao Jingjing followed her downstairs, she saw that Prince Ning's face had turned gloomy.

After getting on the carriage, Qiao Jingjing saw that the princess looked unhappy and asked with concern, "Your Highness, are you okay?"

The princess collected her thoughts and said, "I'm fine."

Qiao Jingjing finally felt relieved, but thinking of the gloomy face of Prince Ning when she went downstairs just now, she couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, you must pay attention to Prince Ning."

The eldest princess nodded, "I know."

"By the way, Your Highness hasn't been to the Duke's Mansion for some time. My mother was still talking about you the day before yesterday. Is Your Highness free later? Are you willing to meet your future mother-in-law?" Qiao Jingjing said with a smile.

The princess smiled when she heard this, "I don't have anything to do, so I'll go with you."

"Where is Shuangshuang?" Qiao Jingjing turned and asked Lu Shuangshuang.

"Of course I'll go with you." Lu Shuangshuang said.

Maybe it’s because of Yu Feier’s childlike nature, when I get along with her, I don’t feel any pressure from elders at all, but rather feel very relaxed.

However, just as the three of them arrived at the Duke's Mansion, Eunuch Liu arrived with the emperor's oral order.

"Miss Lu, you are here. It took us a long time to find you." When Eunuch Liu said this, his face was full of smiles.

But when Lu Shuangshuang saw him, her good mood disappeared.

Sure enough, the next moment, Eunuch Liu said, "The Emperor invites Miss Lu to the palace."

Lu Shuangshuang: "..."

What are you really afraid of?

Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, Eunuch Liu had to repeat it again.

Lu Shuangshuang looked at Qiao Jingjing and the eldest princess for help.

Both of them were helpless.

The emperor has summoned me, who dares to disobey his order?

The princess patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Go, my brother hasn't seen you for a long time, he must be missing you, go quickly, don't keep me waiting for too long."

Lu Shuangshuang shuddered.

The emperor misses her?

I'm afraid you don't want her to die!

In the end, she followed Eunuch Liu.

After entering the palace, she was taken directly to the imperial study by Eunuch Liu.

Looking at the emperor on the throne, Lu Shuang's eyelids twitched, and he lowered his head and knelt down to salute, "Your Highness."

The emperor was reviewing memorials. Hearing her voice, he raised his eyes and glanced at her, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lu Shuangshuang stood up.

After a long time, the emperor put down the memorial, raised his hand and rubbed his brow. Seeing her standing there straight like a wooden stake, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "What are you doing standing there? Sit down!"

Lu Shuangshuang complained in her heart, you didn’t even ask me to sit down, how could I dare to sit down?
But her legs were numb at this moment, so she quickly sat down on a chair nearby.

The emperor looked at her, stood up from behind the imperial desk, walked to her, and suddenly said, "Lu Shuangshuang, have you been waiting for my order to cancel the engagement?"

Lu Shuangshuang was shocked and blurted out, "How did you know?"

The emperor's face darkened and he sneered, "So, you are really waiting for my order to cancel the engagement?"

Lu Shuangshuang finally realized that she had spoken out of turn, and quickly made amends, "That's not the case, the emperor misunderstood."
