The concubine is addicted to the world

Chapter 327, Revenge for Lu Ning
Lu Ning was a little tired as she spoke, rubbing her temple with one hand, her eyelids were a little heavy.

"Sleep when you're tired." Qi Yao put down the bowl and pulled the quilt for Lu Ning.

Lu Ning muttered, took a shallow breath quickly, closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Qi Yao just stared like this, although his face has changed, but some things will not change.

After a while, someone knocked on the door

Qi Yao stood up slowly, and strode out, a piece of warmth suddenly felt in his heart, and the coolness in the depths of his eyes that had not melted for a long time melted away for the first time.

"Your Majesty, King Chen is visiting." The guard said.

Qi Yao pursed his lips tightly, squinted at Ji Wuyou, and Ji Wuyou said slowly, "I'm afraid this King Chen is not doing well, he must be trying to win him over. He can come here from Liangzhou in just a few days. It's not easy for the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Lu must have known about Qi Yao's visit to Dayong early in the morning, and secretly asked King Chen to return to Shengjing in order to win over Qi Yao.

So many days of standing still, just waiting for King Chen to come back.

"Worriless, I suddenly changed my mind." Qi Yao pursed his lips tightly, and then said, "Continuous campaigns in Eastern Chu have consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, and we need to adjust and recuperate. It's okay to attack Dayong by force, but it will waste people and money. Yong can only outsmart him."

Qi Yao looked at the sky in a daze, his back didn't look so lonely anymore.

Ji Wuyou nodded, frowned and said, "The emperor is right, but if we stay in Shengjing now, it will definitely arouse the fear of others. King Chen or Emperor Dayong may not be at ease with us. Once there is a threat, we will definitely eradicate it. After all, it is on Dayong's territory, and the situation is not in our favor."

Ji Wuyou thought for a while, and then quickly said, "Using the conflict between Empress Dowager Lu and Emperor Dayong, Dayong has always been in the hands of Empress Dowager Lu, and Emperor Dayong is no match for Empress Dowager Lu at all."

Qi Yao hooked his lips, "What if one day, Emperor Dayong and King Chen are evenly matched?"

"What does the emperor mean?"

Qi Yao glanced at the sky not far away, then turned to look at the guards, "Let King Chen go back."

"Yes!"

Qi Yao looked back at Ji Wuyou again, and smiled, "I have already mobilized the nearest soldiers and horses to station at the nearest place to Dayong. King Chen has 20 soldiers and horses, and I will play with him!"

King Chen's side was shut down, with a gloomy expression, and he clenched his fists tightly.

"My lord, what should I do now?"

King Chen took a deep breath, before he could speak, a guard stepped forward very quickly.

"My lord, the queen mother asked my lord to return to the palace quickly."

King Chen had no choice but to give up when he heard the words, and angrily flung his sleeves away, annoyed that Qi Yao didn't know good from bad!
On this day, Empress Dowager Lu finally woke up and was very happy to see her son whom she had not seen for many years.

"Chen'er, you're finally back." At this moment, Empress Dowager Lu was very much like an ordinary mother seeing her son who had been away for many years, she couldn't hide her excitement, she kept holding King Chen's arm, and looked up and down.

"Father." Lu Xi whispered.

King Chen glanced at Lu Xi and nodded, "It's hard work taking care of your grandmother these days."

"No matter what the father said, honoring grandma is the duty of a son, so why bother."

During the illness of the Empress Dowager Lu, Lu Xi stayed in front of the bed to take care of her. She was dressed as a vegetarian and prayed. This act of filial piety spread quickly, and everyone praised Lu Xi for his benevolence.

At least Lu Xi is a better person than the evil Princess of Faith.

Empress Dowager Lu never forgot to earn a good reputation for Lu Xi until her death, and she always thought of him, even King Chen was not as good as three points.

King Chen nodded in satisfaction, and then looked at Empress Dowager Lu, "It's because the son is unfilial and hasn't seen his mother for many years."

"I can't blame you. The queen mother knows everything. Did you go to Xianxia Villa today?"

Empress Dowager Lu never forgot the business, never dared to ignore this matter, and kept it on her mind for a long time.

"Hey, what was going to happen soon, who knew that the Emperor of Eastern Chu would appear in the blink of an eye, and the reinforcements that your elder brother brought in have a lot of background."

Empress Dowager Lu's tone was full of sarcasm.

"My son went today, but Qi Yao didn't see his son. Anyway, as long as the troops haven't been dispatched, there is still hope. At worst, the fish will die and the net will be broken!"

As King Chen said, there was a bit of viciousness in his eyes.

"Chen'er, don't worry!" Empress Dowager Lu said slowly, "Let the Ai family think about this matter."

At this moment, Nanny Lu came in, glanced at King Chen and then at Empress Dowager Lu.

"Let's talk." The Empress Dowager Lu never hides anything from King Chen.

Nanny Lu nodded, "Empress Dowager, the emperor issued an order to invite the Emperor of Eastern Chu to a banquet in three days and treat each other with state courtesy."

Empress Dowager Lu's face darkened.

King Chen immediately frowned, "Could it be that brother Huang really reached a consensus with Qi Yao?"

"Empress Dowager, hurry up [-] miles ahead." Nanny Lu quickly handed the letter in her hand to Empress Dowager Lu.

Empress Dowager Lu reached out to take it, opened it, her face was very gloomy, and then handed the letter to King Chen.

King Chen was furious, and he slapped the table angrily, "It's unreasonable, 20 troops stationed on the border of Dayong, this is clearly a provocation, what exactly does Qi Yao want to do?"

King Chen's chest kept rising and falling, "I really don't know what Brother Huang thinks."

The Empress Dowager Lu raised her eyebrows and sneered, "We are pushing the emperor into a hurry, your brother hates you to the bone, and would rather hand over the country to others than make you cheap for nothing. It is the Ai family who have underestimated him after so many years of planning! "

King Chen was angry and angry when he heard the words, "Is he crazy? If he gave up the land of the Lu family to Qi Yao, is he going to be a sinner through the ages?"

King Chen still couldn't believe that Emperor Yusheng would do this.

Empress Dowager Lu fell into deep thought, and quickly said, "Chen'er, Qi Yao can only be close friends, absolutely don't fight against him, otherwise it will be tantamount to pushing him to your emperor's side, don't be arrogant."

King Chen nodded when he heard the words, "Don't worry, I know."

It was already noon the next day when Lu Ning woke up, her mind was drowsy, and she saw Qi Yao as soon as she opened her eyes.

There was still a strong aroma at the tip of her nose. Lu Ning swallowed her throat, her eyes fixed on the steaming white porridge on the table.

"woke up?"

Lu Ning nodded, Qi Yao sat by the bed with a porcelain bowl in his hand, and fed Lu Ning patiently mouthful, the temperature was just right.

A bowl of porridge bottomed out quickly, and Lu Ning only felt warm all over and comfortable in her stomach.

At this time, someone knocked on the door suddenly.

"You rest first, I will come as soon as I go."

Qi Yao stood up slowly, and handed a box of pastries to Lu Ning, all of which were Lu Ning's favorites just out of the oven.

Lu Ning smiled and nodded, "Go."

After Qi Yao left, Lu Ning picked up a piece and put it in her mouth to taste, and suddenly saw a reflective spot in the corner of her eyes.Lu Ning put down the cake in her hand, lifted the quilt and stood up, put on a coat and approached slowly.

As soon as she entered the mirror, Lu Ning was stunned, and reached out to touch her cheek, which was completely different from the self in her memory.

Lu Ning's hands trembled a little, but the fragments of memories kept pouring into her mind, and they were trivially stitched together, each piece was full of strange and familiar faces.

There is Ling Shi, two children, and the heavy rain that has lasted for half a month, and soon became the Princess of Faith and Lu Linen, alternating back and forth, you scrambling for each other, Lu Ning's mind seemed to explode , clutching his head tightly.

"what!"

There was a scream in the room, Qi Yao was startled, and rushed in immediately, pushed the door open and saw Lu Ning squatting on the ground with her head covered and her body curled up.

"Han'er!"

Qi Yao helped Lu Ning up with one hand, "What's wrong with you, don't scare me."

Lu Ning suddenly raised her eyes to look at Qi Yao, the corners of her eyes were like broken beads, she covered her face, "Husband! How did I become like this?"

Hearing this, Qi Yao brought Lu Ning into her arms, and comforted her softly, "It's all right, it's all temporary, everything will come back, Han'er, trust me."

Lu Ning thought of everything, almost broke down and cried, nestled in Qi Yao's arms and cried loudly, crying very helplessly.

Qi Yao's heart also tightened, throbbing with pain, ever since he knew that Lu Ning almost drowned when he fell into the water that time, maybe other people don't believe such an Arabian Nights story, but Qi Yao believes it.

Sure enough, his Han'er is not dead yet.

Thank you for God's mercy, Qi Yao thanked you more than once.

Han'er was lucky to return, and Qi Yao vowed to benefit the people, reduce killings, and benefit all people.

Lu Ning didn't remember how long she cried, she held Qi Yao tightly with one hand, "Where are Sister Zhen and Brother Yu, and where are the mother and the others?"

"It's all good, you don't have to worry, the two children are very good and don't cry or make trouble."

Lu Ning nodded, thinking about the two children very much, wishing to see the children soon.

"Let's go, let's go home now!" Lu Ning stood up, not wanting to stay for a moment.

Qi Yao hugged Lu Ning, "Don't worry, some things haven't been arranged properly, you can rest assured about the child's affairs, there will be no mistakes, you are Lu Ning now, if such a bizarre thing gets out, then I don't want you to suffer again."

Lu Ning frowned and nodded.

"There are still some unfinished business in Dayong, I will let you go back in a dignified way, but not now."

Qi Yao's face was solemn, if he experienced life and death again, Qi Yao might not be able to bear it.

The two talked for a while, and Qi Yao told Lu Ning the whole story bit by bit, and Lu Ning sorted out her thoughts.

"Mother is all for me, I can't just leave her alone." Lu Ning thought for a while, she had to save Princess Faith, she had to put aside the matter of returning to Dongchu, and the most important thing was to save Xinyang. Princess.

Lu Ning's memory not only includes Su Han but also a part of Lu Ning. Su Han firmly believes that Lu Ning is not dead yet, but just asleep.

Qi Yao nodded, "It's natural."

Su Han had been reborn once, and he quickly accepted to trust Qi Yao unconditionally for such a thing.

It was an agreement between the two of them to leave when the time was right, and no one told this matter except Ji Wuyou.

Ji Wuyou looked at Lu Ning in amazement. Although he felt a little familiar, he couldn't accept such a bizarre thing for a while.

It wasn't until Lu Ning told about Ji Wuyou's memory of being alone with Su Han that even Qi Yao didn't know about it, that Ji Wuyou came to his senses.

"You..." Ji Wuyou choked, and joy flashed across his eyes.

The three chatted for a while, Lu Ning glanced at Qi Yao.

"I have to go back to the princess mansion and see if I can help, I can't sit still."

Qi Yao pursed his lips tightly, "Take Jin Wuwei and there are still a few maidservants, I don't worry if you go back like this."

Lu Ning nodded, "Alright."

Although Qi Yao was reluctant, he also knew what decision Su Han had made, and he would not change it easily, and he must be indebted to Princess Xinyang.

Lu Ning cleaned up briefly, and returned to the Princess Mansion with her people.

As soon as he entered the princess mansion, Lu Linen rushed over with a look of joy.

"Ning'er, are you okay? Did Qi Yao do anything to you?" Lu Linen asked with concern, and was about to help Lu Ning with both hands, but Lu Ning cleverly avoided it.

Lu Ning shook her head, "Brother, I'm fine, everything is fine."

As soon as the words were finished, Nanny Xie came forward at the door.

"Miss Seven, the princess invites you to come over."

Lu Ning frowned, and Lu Linen immediately said, "I'll go with you."

Lu Ning glanced at Mammy Xie's hesitant look, and said, "No need, I can go by myself. Grandmother must be concerned about me, brother, don't worry."

As she said that, Lu Ning glanced at Madam Xie, "Let's go, don't keep grandma waiting."

Lu Linen was empty-handed, and suddenly felt uncomfortable and accustomed to Lu Ning's gaze, a little alienated, not as close as before.

In just a few days, Lu Ning's appearance changed, and Lu Linen was really not used to it.

Maybe I thought too much.

Lu Ning followed Madam Xie all the way, and soon came to Princess Qin's yard.

Princess Qin looked cold, and slammed the table at Lu Ning, "Kneel down!"

Lu Ning raised her chin, showing a bit of arrogance. Princess Qin had no pity for Princess Xinyang and Lu Ning at all.

How could Lu Ning humiliate Princess Xinyang's face.

"I don't know why?" Lu Ning said lightly.

Princess Qin looked at Lu Ning with a little surprise, but she didn't expect Lu Ning to sing against her.

"Seventh sister, it's not me who is the elder sister who is talking about you. You are an innocent girl who ran to the house of a strange man to stay overnight. What do outsiders think about our Qin Palace? Besides, the princess is still in prison and I don't know what's going on. For a daughter, it's too much, grandma taught you for your own good, how dare you contradict grandma?"

Lu Ying felt a little gloating. Although Lu Ning did not die, at least her reputation was lost, and it is likely that she would not be able to become a concubine.

Lu Ying felt a little happy just thinking about it.

Lu Ning raised her eyebrows and squinted at Lu Ying, "It's your turn to make irresponsible remarks when the princess is talking to the princess? When did the third sister act like a gossip woman, gossiping in public, and she hasn't even said a word yet?" You might as well splash the dirty water first, if I'm not good, how good do you think your reputation will be?"

Lu Ning's words blamed Lu Ying in the slightest. Lu Ying's small face froze, green and red and ugly, and her eyes looked at Lu Ning as if they could breathe fire, wishing to step forward and tear Lu Ning.

"Sister Ning, how can you talk like that, don't be too presumptuous, everyone is still caring about you, don't be ignorant!" Meng's face was displeased, and she put on airs no matter what time it was.

Lu Ning glanced at Mrs. Meng, "Brother has already said that I was rescued and unconscious for a few days, not as nasty as my third sister thought. Besides, the forest was ambushed that day and was hunted down by assassins. Fortunately, I stayed The next one to live, I believe there will be a result soon, why should the second aunt be in a hurry to argue for the third sister?"

Lu Ying's pupils shrank suddenly, her heart beat faster, and the handkerchief in her hand unconsciously clenched tightly.

This scene happened to be captured by Lu Ning. Lu Ning thought about it, and only Lu Ying was the most likely. the way of man.

Lu Ning originally tried it, but she didn't expect that Lu Ying would actually react.

Princess Qin glared at Lu Ying, feeling more and more that Lu Ying didn't value use and was too impatient. Lu Ying was so frightened that she trembled all over, her face turned pale and she dared not speak.

Princess Qin turned her head and looked at Lu Ning with a cold face, "Who taught you the rules, contradicting the elders in public, is it reasonable to make a mistake?"

Lu Ning looked back, "Don't dare, it's just that my granddaughter has always been impatient, and she will never admit to things she hasn't done, and she doesn't want to be misunderstood."

"Misunderstanding? It is also a misunderstanding that you live in someone else's house and refuse to come back? You ran out in the middle of the night without knowing what to do. Why do you send someone to report that you are safe? Have you done it?"

Princess Qin hates sharp-tongued juniors the most, just like Lu Ning, that is unfilial.

Lu Ning frowned, Princess Qin was clearly making trouble for no reason, she was deliberately finding fault with her.

Lu Ning pursed her lips, "Why didn't grandma go after the assassin, instead she went after her reputation? In the eyes of grandma, is the granddaughter's life so worthless? Or is there someone who doesn't want her granddaughter to come back at all, and deliberately directs this drama, granddaughter Whose eyes are you blocking?"

Princess Qin was in a hurry, as if if she said one more word, she would become the person with malicious intentions in Lu Ning's mouth.

"Presumptuous! Your mother is in prison. As an elder, I should teach you well. Somebody, take Miss Seven to the ancestral hall and punish her by kneeling for three days. No one is allowed to visit her."

Princess Qin ordered in a deep voice.

Lu Ning raised her eyebrows, and finally understood Princess Qin's intentions. She knelt for three days and just missed the banquet to welcome Qi Yao.
