After her true feelings were exposed, the real princess was favored by the whole world

Chapter 17 Care about Lu Jiu’an

"Emerald."

Shen Qingtang called the personal maid, "Where is General Lu?"

She released the little white cat from the spirit animal bag. The little white cat stretched its body and then ran to its own cat nest to continue sleeping.

Jade helped Shen Qingtang get up and out of bed. She avoided her eyes and said hesitantly: "General Lu."

Shen Qingtang suddenly felt something bad and urged: "Speak quickly."

"General Lu failed to protect the fourth princess, which put you in danger. He was whipped by the emperor and is now recovering in the mansion."

Jade lowered her head and added in a low voice: "Even the slaves were fined a year's salary."

What? Was fined a year's salary?

Doesn't that mean working for nothing for a year? Who can bear this?

No wonder the entire palace maids and guards in the Moon Palace were in a very low mood.

Shen Qingtang blamed herself in her heart. It was because of her escape that they were punished.

One person works and one person is responsible. The palace maids and guards are all hers, and she has to protect them.

"Change and go to Fengluan Hall."

When Shen Qingtang arrived at Fengluan Hall, Mu Wan was also preparing to go out to see her.

"Tang'er, why are you here?"

Mu Wan was so happy that Shen Qingtang took the initiative to come to Fengluan Hall to find her.

Mu Wan hurriedly went over to help Shen Qingtang and looked over her body, "Tang'er, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Mu Wan reached out and touched Shen Qingtang's weak cheek, and asked with concern: "You are weak now, how can you come here on your own?"

She turned to the maid next to Shen Qingtang and said dissatisfiedly: "Why don't you prepare a sedan chair for the fourth princess?"

"Mother, it's okay. I came here myself. Don't blame them."

Shen Qingtang pulled Mu Wan into the room and said with a smile: "Mother, I am in good health and will recover soon. Don't worry."

Shen Qingtang's attitude towards her changed. Mu Wan's face softened a lot, and her eyes were full of love.

"Mother, I came here this time to see you for something."

Mu Wan said happily: "What's the matter? Tang'er, just tell me, and my mother will take care of it for you."

Great, Tang'er is finally willing to ask her for help.

She is still very useful as a queen!
"Mother, I heard that the maids and guards in my palace were fined one year's salary. Can you cancel their punishment?"

Mu Wan explained: "They failed to protect their master and should have been punished. The queen mother is in charge of the entire harem, so rewards and punishments should be clear. Otherwise, how can they convince the public?"

"If they could protect you, how could you be caught by the assassins?"

"When you were held hostage by the assassins, the queen mother was so scared. She is still frightened to this day. How can we not punish them?"

Shen Qingtang:
"Mother, you cannot blame them entirely for this matter."

[After all, I took the initiative to run and was caught by the assassin. 】

[It’s too miserable for them to have a master like me. 】

[I can’t say anything to hurt them. 】

"It's all my fault for that cunning assassin, and my own fault for being caught by him accidentally."

"The palace maids and guards have worked hard for a year, but in the end they get nothing. This is too tragic."

Shen Qingtang shook Mu Wan's arm and said coquettishly: "Mother, please spare them this time."

"Is that good~"

[If you don’t agree, then I will have to spend my own money to pay them their salaries. 】

Shen Qingtang was talking about this, how could Mu Wan refuse.

"Okay, Mother, I promise you." But Mu Wan didn't expect that Shen Qingtang was caught by the assassin on purpose.

Why is she doing this?
Mu Wan suddenly remembered something Shen Qingtang often said. Could it be that she did this to leave the palace?
Mu Wan looked at Shen Qingtang, her eyes filled with distress.

Tanger actually risked her own life in order to leave the palace. Does she hate the palace and them so much?

"Tang'er, you must protect yourself in the future, the queen mother doesn't want to lose you."

Mu Wan had finally repaired her relationship with Shen Qingtang, but she didn't want anything to go wrong again.

Shen Qingtang nodded: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will definitely take good care of myself."

【As long as you are sincerely good to me, I will never leave you. 】

[If you dare to deceive me, I will leave you at any time, no matter the cost. 】

Mu Wan held Shen Qingtang's hand tightly.

Tang'er, my mother will be even more kind to you in the future.

"By the way, mother, I heard that General Lu was whipped by my father. I want to go to the palace to see him."

[Although I hate Lu Jiu'an spying on me, I really feel sorry for him in this matter. 】

Everyone knows that Lu Jiu'an was ordered to protect Shen Qingtang.

Now that Lu Jiu'an is being punished for failing to protect him, there is nothing wrong with Shen Qingtang going to see him.

What's more, Mu Wan now knows that Shen Qingtang fell into the hands of assassins on purpose. She also feels that Lu Jiu'an was a little unjust, but the punishment has been carried out and cannot be withdrawn.

Mu Wan nodded: "Okay, go ahead."

Although the assassin had been caught, Mu Wan was still worried. For Shen Qingtang's safety, she sent a large group of guards to leave the palace with Shen Qingtang.

The ostentation was so huge that people in the Lu family were frightened into thinking that they had committed some serious crime.

Hearing that it was the fourth princess who came to visit General Lu, everyone in the Lu family got very excited.

Shen Qingtang was greeted by a beautiful and kind-hearted woman, whose facial features were somewhat similar to Lu Jiu'an's.

Shen Qingtang guessed that this person should be Lu Jiu'an's mother Shang Shijin.

Lu Jiu'an's father, Lu Yu, was a general who controlled the country. He made great military exploits and was named the Marquis of Yongyi.

Lu Yu died of illness two years ago, and Lu Jiu'an inherited his father's title as his legitimate son.

The Lu family has a single lineage, and now only Shang Shijin and Lu Jiu'an, mother and son, are left.

"My wife pays homage to the fourth princess." Shang Shijin saluted respectfully.

"Mrs. Lu, no courtesy."

Shen Qingtang looked at the gentle and beautiful woman in front of him and sighed slightly in his heart.

Mrs. Lu is also dying soon.

Shang Shijin took Shen Qingtang and others to the mansion.

"Fourth princess, please move to the main hall. I will send someone to call An'er out immediately."

Shen Qingtang raised his hand to stop: "No need, Mrs. Lu. General Lu is seriously injured. I'd better go visit him in person."

Lu Jiu'an is not a weak person, and allowing him to stay in the house to recuperate means that he is indeed seriously injured.

Shang Shijin's eyes were hesitant. The fourth princess had a distinguished status, so it was good enough for her to come and visit Jiu An. She must not be ignorant of etiquette.

But when he thought of Lu Jiu'an's injuries, Shang Shijin still couldn't bear to let his son get out of bed and move around.

At this moment, maternal love defeated reason. Regardless of etiquette, the body of her son was more important.

From what she saw, the fourth princess was not the kind of person who cared about everything.

Shang Shijin smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Fourth Princess, for your consideration."
