The first daughter of the first daughter

Chapter 25 The Truth
"How dare you say such a thing, do you know the fate of resisting the decree? Capital punishment, and not only your death, but the entire Lou family will be implicated." Lou Chengde was so angry that Lou Xuanying blew his beard and stared at him. she roared.

"Yo, that's how I feel. It's okay if I die, let's all go together."

"You... Lou Xuanying, do you know what you are talking about and what you are doing? I don't think you are stupid now, you are simply crazy!" Lou Chengde slapped his palm on the table, wanting to strangle this daughter to death.

"No, I'm not afraid of death. Do you know when I recovered? After being pushed into the lake and rescued from drowning. I have already walked through the gate of hell, and I have died once. Still afraid of death? It's still the same sentence Well, I want to know the reason, if you don't tell me now, even if I am sent to Prince Jing's mansion, I will definitely find a chance to find out, and I don't know if I will offend Huangwei or something like that." Lou Xuanying shrugged She shrugged her shoulders to show that she didn't care about everything.

Lou Chengde took a few deep breaths, and finally stabilized his emotions. The daughter in front of him was too strange, more difficult to deal with than any ruthless character he encountered in the officialdom.

"Xuanying, I'm your father. Even though I've cared less for you for so many years, how can I spend less on food and clothing? Are you trying to confront me with this attitude now?"

Lou Xuanying smiled lightly, shook her head and said, "Of course not, didn't I call your father? I didn't intend to confront you, but you were thinking too much. I really came here tonight to know the reason why the emperor did this." , to be more precise, I don't want to be given to a man inexplicably. Is there any room for change in the matter of the imperial decree?"

Lou Chengde sighed, it seems that she will never give up until she achieves her goal.

"No, even if you were not sent to Prince Jing's mansion, you would be sent to other palaces. If you don't want to go, why is father willing to send you four sisters out like this? But the emperor has spoken harshly to me, and you only have There are three choices, one is to marry, the second is to be a slave, and the third is to die. You can't choose the third, right?"

When she heard this, she frowned, still obsessed with the answer.

"reason?"

Lou Chengde hesitated for a long time, heaved a long sigh, finally compromised, lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "Father told you, it's good that you have heard it, and you must not spread it outside."

Lou Xuanying nodded in agreement, and then heard him speak slowly in a vicissitudes of life.

"There is a prophecy in the dark chamber of the palace. Whoever gets one of your four sisters will own the world. Do you think the emperor will let the four of you go?"

Is that all right?Which pervert left such a prophecy?While Lou Xuanying was dumbfounded, she also cursed in her heart.

"Father, that person can't be mine. I was a fool half a month ago and didn't understand anything. Now I can think about things, but every lady can't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. How can such a waste be possible?" Is it the person in the prophecy?"

"I believe it's useless. The key is the emperor. Father doesn't want to agree to the emperor's request. You are all father's daughters, and you are a family. If you are included in different palaces, you will be enemies in the future battle for the throne. I don't want to see this." The result is here."

This is also the most heartbreaking thing for Lou Chengde, but the emperor is a king, he is a minister, he has no ability to fight against him, what else can he do other than give his daughter away?
"Enemy?" Lou Xuanying curled her lips, and then quickly smiled again, savoring the word, and found it interesting, "Father, don't you know that even in the prime minister's mansion, we are like enemies?"

After finishing speaking, she began to talk to herself again: "Forget it, it's the same for me wherever I go, whether it's the Xiang's mansion or the Prince Jing's mansion, it's just a different place to continue my life."

"..." Lou Chengde suddenly felt that he couldn't understand her thoughts, as if many things seemed indifferent to her, "Xuanying, do you have hatred for father, Xuanya and the others? Do you mind the second prince's resignation?" The matter? The imperial decree cannot be rejected, but if you don’t want to go to Prince Jing’s mansion, father can ask the emperor for instructions. You were the one who had a marriage contract with the second prince, and you have returned to normal now. This matter can still be discussed.”

Mo Hongyi?She despises that guy even more, his contempt for her is still vivid in her memory, she doesn't disdain this kind of person, it's better to go to Prince Jing's mansion than to go to his mansion, although Mo Jinghao is also an arrogant and annoying guy, But at least she doesn't dislike his looks.

Her strength is too weak, even Lou Chengde can't resist, what else can she do besides accepting her fate?She has seen all the seven princes, except Mo Jinghao who has not seen her insane appearance with her own eyes, and everyone else dislikes her very much, so there is no need for her to post it, just Mo Jinghao, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, just take a step Count one step.

She rubbed her nose, dragged a chair to sit down, poured herself a cup of tea, and said leisurely: "Father, the second prince should be given to Lou Xuanya, I don't want it."

After drinking tea, she stood up and said again: "Father, take care of my mother. She is cowardly by nature. If you marry her, she will trust you for the rest of her life. If even you despise her, she will have no sustenance for her life."

Lou Chengde's face was slightly embarrassed, he had indeed betrayed Xuanniang, what Lou Xuanying said was true, he became the prime minister with the help of getting married...

He hummed softly, almost inaudibly: "Xuanniang will be very happy if she knows that you are not stupid anymore. You haven't visited her much, have you?"

"It's out of sight and out of mind if you don't go to see her. Her mind is on you, not on me. Dad, thank you for telling me what I want to know. It's late. I'm going back. Dad, I'm going back in seven days. I went to King Jing's mansion, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I don't want others to know that I'm back to normal, can you not tell me?"

"why?"

"Hehe." Lou Xuanying smiled meaningfully, didn't say anything more, and waved to him, "Father, I'm leaving."

After speaking, she opened the door and left without looking back.

Lou Chengde watched her thin back gradually disappear through the window, he was in a daze for a while, recalling what she said after she came in, he always felt incredible.

The things she mentioned about Aunt Liu, Lou Xuanya and others also shocked him. For so many years, he only knew that he was worried about state affairs, and the affairs of the palace were all handled by Aunt Liu. Could it be that what he saw was only superficial? Is it peaceful?

If what Lou Xuanying said was true, how disappointed would he be?

"Shi San, come in."

There was a sound of pushing the door, and the guard who had been guarding outside the study came in, cupped his hands and said, "Lord Prime Minister."

"Send someone to investigate what happened to the aunts and young ladies when I was not in the mansion. To investigate in private, you know?"

Shi San is his confidant, and he only listens to his orders on weekdays, and will not favor anyone. He didn't dismiss him just now. He should have heard some of the conversation between him and Lou Xuanying just now. Leave it to him.

Shi San responded, but also raised a question: "Mr. Lou, if you look into what happened in the past, you must ask the relevant people. If what the eldest lady said just now is true, and the people in the house can do it seamlessly, then there must be them." The ability, if you want to track it down, it may make them suspicious, and it will be very difficult to find out the truth. If it is fake..."

Lou Chengde pinched his eyebrows, he would rather those things were not true.

"Be careful first."
