Chapter 265
"Sister-in-law, you just found out now that you didn't see that I ran to the Hou's mansion every day, didn't I just hug Ruan Ruan's thigh? It's not too late, let's all follow Ruan Ruan to gain glory!"

Ruan Youzhen saw Mrs. Lu not letting go of Xiao Ruan's hand, and deliberately made an expression of envy and envy.

As soon as Lu Heng heard Ruan Youzhen's voice, he also booed, and deliberately ran to Xiao Ruan's side, pretending to hug her thigh, which made everyone laugh.

And Tuan'er in Lu Youzhen's arms seemed to be infected by the laughter around him, staring at Lu Heng in front of him, he "quacked" and laughed.

Mrs. Lu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and asked someone to hold Tuan'er in her arms, and scolded the two of them with a smile: "Look, one is a mother, and the other is about to get married, and she is still with her sister." Jealous, no wonder Tuan'er wants to laugh at you!"

The prince came to Lu's mansion many times to look for Lu Heng, and all the maids and maids in the mansion knew that the prince had a deep love for her.It's just because of the queen's relationship that their marriage has not yet been finalized.

At this time, when Lu Heng heard Mrs. Lu say "I'm going to get married soon", he subconsciously thought that it was because Mrs. Lu had definite news that he said that his marriage was imminent, and immediately raised his head and showed joy.

"Could it be that grandma has already received the news that the prince is coming to propose marriage?"

Lu Heng looked at Mrs. Lu eagerly, and suddenly found that everyone else in the room covered their mouths and endured the pain of laughing. Only then did they realize that the "soon to be married" in the old lady's words meant that she had reached the age of marriage.

And when she asked like this, she was clearly telling everyone that she was eager to get married, to marry the prince...

"You, what are you laughing at? I was actually..."

"Could it be that there is some happy event, why does grandma smile so happily?"

Lu Heng blushed with embarrassment, and was about to defend himself when the door curtain swayed, and Lu Hanrui suddenly walked in from the outside.

And the man who came with him was wearing a black brocade robe, he was the prince who was supposed to be in the palace.

For a while, the smiles on everyone's faces became more profound.Seeing this, before Mrs. Lu could speak, Lu Heng covered his face in shame and hurried out.

"Sister Heng, this is..."

Lu Hanrui didn't know what happened just now, and asked Ruan Youzhen, who was holding back a smile, with confused eyes, but the prince looked worried at Lu Heng's running away figure.

"Mo Guan Heng'er, it's rare for the crown prince to come to visit Laoshen today, so quickly ask someone to prepare a seat."

Mrs. Lu suppressed her smile, deliberately ignored Lu Hanrui's question, and asked the maid to set up a seat for the two of them, but the prince only sat in the room for half a stick of incense before getting up to ask Mrs. Lu to resign.

"Old Madam, the student suddenly remembered that there are still some things that need to be dealt with, and I will come to see Madam another day, please forgive me."

The prince looked worried, and everyone knew it immediately.The eldest lady pretended not to care, and the old lady couldn't stop her. Lu Hanrui was about to get up and send him away, but Ruan Youzhen quietly grabbed his sleeve.

Xiao Ruan saw the movement of the door, and couldn't help but think of the days when he secretly got along with Huo Xun in the Lu Mansion, and suddenly realized that he might be as funny as Lu Heng.

Since the beginning of winter, Mrs. Lu has acquired the habit of being sleepy during the day.

The crowd hustle and bustle in Mrs. Xiao's room for half an hour. Seeing that Mrs. Lu was already looking a little sleepy, they took their leave and left very wisely.

"Cousin, I need your help with something, can we talk alone?"

When Lu Hanrui heard Xiao Ruan's voice when he left, he took Xiao Ruan to his yard without saying a word, and Ruan Youzhen asked someone to make tea for Xiao Ruan, and then took Tuan'er to find the nanny.

As if seeing Xiao Ruan's solemn expression, Lu Hanrui even deliberately turned away the maid in the room.

"Cousin, can you tell me in detail what happened in court recently? Especially the things related to Huo Xun and King Huai."

As soon as Xiao Ruan mentioned Duke Huai, Lu Hanrui's eyes sank suddenly: "Why did you suddenly ask them about Duke Huai? Could it be that Huo Xun encountered some trouble?"

Xiao Ruan was about to tell about King Huai's threat to Huo Xun, but for some reason, when she saw Lu Hanrui's concerned gaze, she suddenly hesitated.

"Yes, we did encounter some troubles. Huo Xun and I met an assassin arranged by Zhao Yan on the way back from the palace last night..."

"This Zhao Yan! Are you injured? Could it be that Huo Xun was injured?"

Lu Hanrui looked nervous, his face was full of worry, Xiao Ruan quickly shook his head: "We are all fine, but Huo Xun didn't want me to know too much about this matter, and I was really worried, so I had to come to my cousin to inquire about it. "

After pondering for a moment, he tried to persuade him: "Ruan'er, since Huo Xun doesn't want to tell you, it must be because he doesn't want to make you worry. It's better not to know too much..."

"Cousin, aren't you willing to help me? Huo Xun is my husband-in-law. If something happens to him, how can I feel at ease? If you don't tell me about the affairs of the court, at least let me know The reason is also good."

There was hesitation on Lu Hanrui's face, and a flash of clarity flashed across Xiao Ruan's heart.

The Lu family and Huo Xun are both in the prince's camp, and I'm afraid Lu Hanrui mistakenly thought that he wanted to ask him what the prince arranged for Huo Xun to do.

"Cousin, I know that Duke Huai is eyeing the throne covetously. Huo Xun is guarded by Zhao Yan when he is on the prince's side. Naturally, I won't inquire about confidential matters. I just want to know if Zhao Yan and Huo Xun have any other secrets." It's just for the holidays."

Sure enough, Lu Hanrui was stunned for a moment, and the embarrassment on his face immediately subsided a bit.

"Well, let me think about it... Except that Huo Xun married you back then, there really seems to be no apparent feud between them..."

Lu Hanrui seriously recalled it for a long time, and finally there was a look of regret on his face: "Ruan'er, I don't want to deceive you, Huo Xun did do something to protect the prince. But recently, our country has been busy signing a contract with Northern Jianguo , No other major events happened in the court, I really don't know why Zhao Yan wanted to assassinate you."

After listening to Lu Hanrui's words verbatim, Xiao Ruan immediately realized that Lu Hanrui was telling himself in a disguised form that there had been no confrontation between the prince and Zhao Yan recently, so Zhao Yan's assassination of Huo Xun might not be out of revenge.

Picking up the tea bowl on the table and taking a sip, Xiao Ruan's face flickered with concern.

Of course, she didn't come here to know why Zhao Yan targeted Huo Xun, but to know whether it was possible that he had something about Huo Xun as Zhao Yan said.

Originally, she wanted to ask Xiao Zhongheng about this matter, but after the racecourse, he has been recuperating at the mansion, and he is a civil servant, so he must not know as much about the prince and Zhao Yan as Lu Hanrui.

Lu Hanrui has always been responsive to her requests, but he will never tell himself about important matters that are confidential to the court.

Furthermore, spreading the news that Zhao Yan has Huo Xun's handle will definitely cause Huo Xun great trouble.She could only insinuate, hoping to find something from Lu Hanrui's mouth.

"Ruan Er, don't worry, I will also report to the prince about Zhao Yan's assassination of you. It seems that Zhao Yan already wants to make a move..."

As Lu Hanrui spoke, he suddenly remembered something, showing a puzzled expression.

"However, this doesn't seem to be right. I remember that half a month ago Huo Xun's father was still outside the palace gate and had some contacts with the maids around the queen. Even for the sake of the queen, Zhao Yan should not send someone directly Assassinate you..."

Xiao Ruan was thinking that he might not be able to find any clues, when he heard these words, he interrupted immediately: "What is the meaning of cousin? What is it about my father-in-law having contacts with the maids next to the empress?"

"Yes, I forgot about it and you may not know it."

Lu Hanrui glanced at Xiao Ruan in surprise, patted himself on the forehead, suddenly realized, and then explained in detail.

"Actually, I just know a little bit from my mother..."

Following Lu Hanrui's narration, Xiao Ruan's doubts were slowly resolved.

It turned out that Huo Xun's biological mother and the current queen were good friends before they got married, but after they got married, they grew old and died, and they hated each other.

As for the specific reason, no one knows.

"After Huo Xun's biological mother died, the queen recalled the friendship between the two, and then felt very regretful. She asked Mr. Huo a lot of Huo Xun's mother's things as thoughts. Afterwards, she also took care of Huo Xun a lot, and Duke Huai has always wanted to show his benevolence and righteousness to the outside world, so naturally he will not attack you easily."

Xiao Ruan memorized Lu Hanrui's words one by one in his mind, and at the end he seemed unintentional and said: "My cousin saw that my father-in-law was still in touch with the queen's maid, so I judged that Zhao Yan would not easily assassinate Huo Xun?"

"Yes, as long as they still have contact, the queen will never send someone to really assassinate you for the sake of Huo Xun's biological mother."

Lu Hanrui nodded, and there seemed to be some comfort in his voice, but Xiao Ruan didn't continue to ask.

"Li Yun, if it were you, if you wanted to deal with someone, would you be merciful because of other people's face?"

On the way back, Xiao Ruan recalled what Lu Hanrui said in her mind.

She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't see anything for a while.

The carriage moved forward steadily, and the sound of the driver whipping his whip could be heard from time to time.Xiao Ruan frowned, and when he saw Li Yun sitting upright, he suddenly couldn't help asking.

When Xiao Ruan and Lu Hanrui talked in the room, they didn't bring any maids with them, so Li Yun didn't know what Xiao Ruan meant by asking this question.

She frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Go back to madam, from the point of view of this servant, this servant will show mercy to others. But the premise must be that this person is very kind to me, or I cannot refuse this person." request."

There is a great favor...a request that cannot be refused...

Xiao Ruan muttered Li Yun's words in a low voice, and some thoughts flashed through her mind quickly, but when she waited until she lost her grasp, she found that she still had no clue.

Rubbing his forehead, Xiao Ruan unconsciously leaned his head against the car wall, closed his eyes, and thought carefully.
