Chapter 177 Refused to Marry, Entering the Palace, Distress
"What?" Before the doctor finished speaking, Lu Congyuan was so angry that he slapped Lu Xinwan hard, "You wicked girl! How dare you... How dare you..."
Lu Xinwan just had a miscarriage last night. She was already weak, and was slapped to the ground by Lu Congyuan. She covered her bleeding mouth and sneered, "You forced me! If you didn't force me to marry, I would have hurt myself so much. , Hurt the child in my belly? That is my child, will I not feel bad? You forced all of this!"
"Naughty girl! You have the nerve to say that I forced you to do such a scandal yourself? Come on, and tie her to the sedan chair immediately! She killed the eldest great-grandson of the Kong family, and Kong Shangshu can do whatever he wants. I, Lu Congyuan, will never do that." put one's oar in!"
Lu Xinwan didn't expect this, Lu Congyuan actually wanted to marry her to Kong's family, she hugged a table leg tightly, "No, I don't want to marry, I don't want to be a widow, I don't want to!"
Several women stepped forward to pull her desperately. When Lu Ziyi, who was outside greeting the guests, found out, she rushed in immediately, kicked the women away, and hugged Lu Xinwan, "Xinwan, don't be afraid, there is big brother here, big brother Protect you!"
Lu Xinwan threw herself into his arms and burst into tears, "Brother! I don't want to be a widow! Brother, you must save me!"
Lu Congyuan pointed at Lu Ziyi, "It's wrong, you guys! Lu Ziyi, get out of the way, or I will expel you from Lu's house immediately!"
"Father, I don't care who you want to deal with, but I'm not allowed to drive brother away, otherwise I'll go with him!" Lu Xinyan stood up and said at this time.
Lu Cong is far from being a good bird, Lu Xinwan is so stupid that she takes it upon herself, she doesn't want to talk to anyone, but when Lu Ziyi is involved, she will stand up for it.
"You!" Lu Congyuan was so angry that his fingers trembled, but thinking of Lu Xinyan's identity and future husband's family, he didn't dare to point at her and curse.
At this time, a servant of the Kong family came and said a few words in the ear of Kong Tingzhen, who was so flustered that he didn't know what to do. Kong Tingzhen's complexion changed drastically, and he cupped his hands to Lu Congyuan and said, "Uncle, there is something urgent in the house, and my nephew is going back first." .”
Before Lu Congyuan could react, he squeezed out of the crowd and ran away.
"Nephew, the bride hasn't been picked up yet! Nephew..." Lu Congyuan yelled from behind, but Lu Tingzhen had already run away, together with all the people from the Kong family who were welcoming the bride, all ran away.
Lu Xinyan had a hunch that something big had happened, "Qingtong, go and check, what happened to the Kong family?"
The people who came to greet the relatives have left, but the bride is still there. I have never encountered such a situation in my life!The guests looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do for a while.
There were eye-catching quick hahas, cupped his hands and said: "Uncle, I think there is something urgent at home, so I will take my leave first, and I will come to ask you for a glass of water and wine next time."
This reminded the other guests, everyone used one or another excuse, but within a quarter of an hour, all the birds and beasts dispersed.
After all the guests left, Qingtong came back, "Miss, Master Kong is gone."
"Didn't you say you died that day?" Lu Xinyan asked in surprise.
"I heard that Young Master Kong just held his breath that day and didn't really die. After he was carried back, he invited an imperial doctor to the mansion for treatment, and used century-old wild ginseng to hang his breath. Originally, he planned to get married today, but who knows..." Qingtong suddenly After a pause, "I also heard that when Young Master Kong died, it was the time when Second Miss publicly said that he was dead. Now that Mrs. Kong knows that the child is gone, she is crying and kneeling in front of Kong Shangshu, saying that Second Miss cursed him." Kill her son, murder her grandson, and let the second lady take her life!"
Lu Xinyan heheed twice: "Lu Xinwan is asking for a dead end! If the child is still there, everything is negotiable!"
Lu Congyuan returned after seeing off the last guest, pointing to Lu Xinwan, "Come here, lock up this wicked girl!"
Lu Ziyi let go of her hand. Lu Xinwan is a woman. Although he is a big brother, he can't take care of some things, and Lu Congyuan will not execute Lu Xinwan before the Kong family has a clear answer. "Fei Cui, take good care of the second lady. Come find me!"
"Understood, young master!"
-
Ruyifang the next day.
When the shopkeeper saw a customer coming, he immediately greeted him with a smile, "Miss, what do you want to choose?"
Qingtong took out the hairpin inlaid with pink pearls, "Shopkeeper, is this hairpin made by you?"
The shopkeeper took it over and looked at it, "Exactly, I don't know girl..."
"This pearl is a little loose, please find a master to help you fix it." Qingtong said: "Our lady will wear it tomorrow, can we arrange it now?"
"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper saw the extraordinary manners of these people, and the hairpin was also made by the most expensive master in the store, so he hurriedly responded, "Miss, please wait a moment, Xiao Wu, take these ladies to the wing room for a rest." .”
A guy named Xiaowu hurried forward, "This way please."
Lu Xinyan, Qingtong, and Xiao He had just walked a few steps when Xiao He suddenly exclaimed, "Elder Prince!"
The three of them turned their heads and saw Wu Yuan walking down the stairs. They seemed to be taken aback when they saw the three of them, and then smiled gently: "Princess, Miss Qingtong, what a coincidence! Xiaohe, we met again. it is good?"
Xiao He's eyes immediately shone with dazzling brilliance, which made her girlish face even more attractive. She whispered, "I'm doing well."
Lu Xinyan nodded slightly, "Elder Prince."
Keep all etiquette simple.
"Is the princess here to choose the jewelry that will be worn by Concubine Xiao when I enter the palace tomorrow?" Wu Yuan said, "I've heard a thing or two about Concubine Xiao's preferences. If the princess doesn't dislike it, I can give you advice."
"I'm sorry, the eldest prince. I'm not here to choose jewelry. I'm going to Suyifang to do some business. I passed by here to repair the jewelry." Lu Xinyan's eyes glanced at the jewelry box in his hand unintentionally.
Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows, "The jewelry I ordered for Ah Xin a few days ago, I'm here to pick it up today. Since the Princess is not choosing jewelry, then I won't bother the Princess, and I will leave first."
"Elder Prince, go slowly."
Before leaving, Wu Yuan looked at Xiao He and said gently: "Xiao He, next time I have time to visit Ah Xin, she often talks about you."
Xiao He lowered her head shyly, "Then Xiao He will find time to bother the concubine sister."
Wuyuan left with a smile on his face.
Xiao He looked at the back until it disappeared, then tilted her head enviously and said: "The eldest prince is so kind to the concubine sister."
"You know? Where is it?" Lu Xinyan laughed.
Xiao He said: "Sister Huangfei is not in good health and doesn't like to go out. She seldom wears jewelry, but the eldest prince always makes jewelry for her."
"Always?" Lu Xinyan's smile narrowed, "How do you know that?"
"I have met the Eldest Prince twice in this Ruyifang, both of which came to pick up jewelry for the imperial concubine's sister."
"Twice? When did you meet me, why don't you know?"
"On the first day of last month, I went to see the concubine's sister the next day. Miss knows, you were the one who helped me dress up that day."
"The first day of November? Oh, I remembered, those two days I had a headache because of Uber, and I forgot all of a sudden." Lu Xinyan patted her head, "By the way, why did you come out that day?"
"In the past, the young master Ziwen had a banquet that day. He thought the wine in the mansion was not good. He said that he ordered the wine at a nearby sake shop. When I went to the kitchen, he was assigned by his servant to pick up the wine, and then I saw the eldest prince. "Xiao He wrinkled her nose, "Miss, I told you all this, why are you asking me again?"
"Hehe, miss, I've been a little forgetful lately." Lu Xinyan slapped her twice to get around.
Some things sounded like ordinary things before, but now that I think about them, I realize that they may have been carefully designed.
She tentatively asked with a little complexity: "Xiao He, do you like the First Prince very much?"
Xiao He blushed instantly, and said with two points of disappointment: "It is enough for the first prince to be accompanied by the concubine sister."
She only needs to look at him occasionally and say a few words to him like today.
Lu Xinyan thought of what Xiao Yichen said the day before yesterday, and secretly sighed.
At this time, the shopkeeper came out with the hairpin, "Miss, your hairpin is ready."
Qingtong asked: "How much money?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "The hairpins ordered in our Ruyifang have a ten-year warranty. Miss, your hairpin hasn't expired yet, so you don't need money."
"Shopkeeper, is the eldest prince a regular visitor here?"
"The First Prince will order two hairpins or hairpins from us every month, and give them to the First Prince and Concubine."
"The eldest prince has been married for more than five years. It seems that your wishful workshop has earned him a lot of money."
The shopkeeper quickly explained, "Miss, you are joking, it has been more than three years since the eldest prince came to us, and the situation in the eldest prince's residence is well known in the capital, so small shops like ours don't dare to charge more money, just to earn some money." Manual fee."
Lu Xinyan smiled apologetically, "So that's the case, but I guessed randomly, shopkeeper, I wish you a prosperous business."
"Go slowly, miss."
After leaving Ruyifang, Lu Xinyan and the others went to the Suyifang to get some down, and went to the Suyanfang to pick out a piece of good cloth, and then returned to Ankangbo Mansion.
After returning, Lu Xinyan thought about it, and wrote a letter to Xiao Yichen, "Qi Fei."
"What is the princess' order?"
"Give this letter to your young master."
When Xiao Yichen received the letter, he was full of excitement, thinking that Lu Xinyan wrote it as an invitation or something, but when he opened it, it was a confirmation of some past deeds of the people behind the scenes.
He threw the letter aside unhappily, "Qi Fei, immediately arrange for someone to investigate according to the clues provided by the princess."
"Yes, young master." Qi Fei stepped forward to reach out to get the letter, Xiao Yichen frowned, "What are you doing with the letter?"
Qi Fei: "Master, my subordinates haven't read the content yet. I don't know what clues the princess wrote. How can I arrange someone to investigate?"
"Read it here before leaving, the letter is not allowed to be taken away." Although there was nothing he wanted to read, it was the first time that woman wrote to him, so he had to keep it as a souvenir.
"Just look at it like this, don't touch it!" Xiao Yichen specifically urged.
Qi Fei rolled his eyes, his young master seemed to have forgotten who sent this letter, he had already touched it eight hundred times.
But what Qi Fei didn't know was that his young master had a different understanding from him. In his young master's eyes, what Qi Fei touched was the envelope, not the letter written by Lu Xinyan inside.
-
On the twentieth day, Lu Xinyan got up early and went out. Concubine Xiao Gui called her into the palace to meet her. As her princess, she had to go to the palace to meet the queen mother and queen first. Concubine Xiao made a good impression, so Lu Xinyan had no choice but to leave the house early.
This time I only brought Qingtong by my side, as soon as the two of them left the uncle's mansion, they were startled when they saw the person in front of the carriage, "Uncle Tian?"
Uncle Tian seems to have aged a lot in the past few days, and even his back is slightly bent.
"Miss, Miss Qingtong." Uncle Tian smiled dryly, "Ziyan and Junwu arranged other things for them today, so I came here to be lazy."
Since the establishment of Linlang Pavilion, Uncle Tian has not been a coachman for a long time, and has been busy with Linlang Pavilion.
"Then I will trouble Uncle Tian."
After entering the palace, Lu Xinyan first visited the queen mother, Wu Zhen knew that Lu Xinyan was going to enter the palace today, so in order to save her time, she waited for her at the queen mother's place early in the morning.
Wu Zhen was full of worries and doubts about the marriage offer and wanted to ask Lu Xinyan, but she also knew that today was not a good time, so she just said hello and agreed to meet outside the palace next time.
The Empress Dowager was very happy about the marriage. Anyway, Emperor Longde granted the marriage, and the wedding date was chosen. She was happy to see it come true. After asking a few words, she reluctantly asked the palace servants to take Lu Xinyan to the Queen's place. .
The queen was very upset because of Wu Wan's punishment, she didn't even see her, so she sent Lu Xinyan away.
It doesn't matter to Lu Xinyan, anyway, it's just a formality, it's better not to see each other.
The empress saved a lot of time here, and when she arrived at Concubine Xiao's Oasis Palace, it was nearly two quarters of an hour earlier.
When they arrived outside Ganquan Palace, Lu Xinyan asked the Eunuch Lin of the Empress Dowager's Longevity Palace who led her to go back first, while she walked around outside Ganquan Palace for more than a quarter of an hour before entering.
Arriving late to the agreed time has no concept of time, and arriving too early to the agreed time will put an invisible pressure on the other party. The best time is to be five to 10 minutes ahead of the agreed time, that is, not to give The other party's pressure also showed his own importance.
The maid of Oasis Palace quietly told Concubine Xiao Gui about this matter, Concubine Xiao Gui gave a light hum, her cold face still showed no expression.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Xinyan asked the maid to tell Concubine Xiao Gui, and after a while the maid came back and let her in.
Just now, she was outside, but Lu Xinyan couldn't see it. After entering, she found that Ganquan Palace was one of the most simple and simple palaces she had ever seen. The palace where the noble concubine lives.
"The minister's daughter Lu Xinyan kowtowed to concubine Xiao Guifei."
"Get up, sit down and talk." The voice was clear and light, with two points of coldness, because it had the same alienated or even slightly dissatisfied tone as when they first met someone, which made Lu Xinyan feel two points of intimacy.
"Thank you, Concubine Gui." Lu Xinyan was not polite, and sat directly on the rose chair prepared for her by the maid, but her head was lowered in a regular manner, and she did not look around.
"Look up and let me take a look."
Lu Xinyan raised her head as she said.
At first glance, the eyes are full of surprise.
The lady in the seat was dressed in a simple white palace attire, with two simple hairpins holding her jet-black hair in place. She didn't wear any powder on her face. She looked like she was only in her early twenties.
His face was like a full moon, his eyes were like mercury, and the light inside was like a cold pool in an ancient well, cold and deep. Apart from the color of his eyes, those eyes were the most similar to Xiao Yichen.
Also because of these eyes, Xiao Guifei exuded a cool and noble aura all over her body.
Concubine Xiao Gui amazed Lu Xinyan, and Concubine Lu Xinyan also amazed Concubine Xiao Gui, with black eyebrows and fine nose, bright eyes, delicate but not bewitching, all over the country.
But the difference is that Concubine Xiao is even more dissatisfied with Lu Xinyan. From the eyes of the elders, Lu Xinyan's temperament is too flamboyant and not gentle enough. .
Concubine Xiao frowned, and the frowning of a beauty is also very touching, "Princess, the emperor chose you to be Yichen's wife, I am very dissatisfied."
Compared with Xiao Yichen's arrogant and coy temperament, Concubine Xiao Gui is much more direct, although such directness is quite hurtful.
But fortunately Lu Xinyan did not marry Xiao Yichen because of love, she smiled lightly, "I have wronged Prince Xiao, but the emperor bestowed the marriage, and the courtiers have to obey!"
Concubine Xiao Gui said sharply: "The emperor bestowed the marriage? Didn't you design it?"
Lu Xin's face remained unchanged, "The imperial concubine misunderstood, the emperor's eyes are sharp, how can the courtiers dare to have other hearts?"
"This is the first time I've heard that people who fall into the hot spring water and sprain their feet need help." Concubine Xiao said slightly sarcastically.
"The imperial concubine lives in secluded places, so it's not surprising that she hasn't seen her before."
Concubine Xiao Gui rarely showed an angry look on her face, "You are so clever, how dare you talk back?"
As a noble concubine, she has a majestic aura on her body, coupled with her cold demeanor, when she was angry, the palace people around her were so frightened that they did not dare to breathe out.
Lu Xinyan was unmoved, "I know that my status is not worthy of Xiao Shizi, but the emperor offered a marriage, and my minister dare not refuse, presumably Xiao Shizi is the same! So after I plan to get married, I will immediately choose two for Xiao Shizi." Noble concubine, if you have a child, you will immediately raise her as an equal wife, as for the choice of this noble concubine, it is entirely up to you, the noble concubine!"
Concubine Xiao Gui's tone was blocked in her chest by Lu Xinyan.
I know that I am not worthy, so I am willing to help him choose a concubine, and this person can also be chosen by you!
Having said all this, what else can Concubine Xiao do?I wanted to grab Lu Xinyan's handle and try my best to make the emperor take back his life, but now Lu Xinyan's actions completely disrupted Concubine Xiao's plan.
"However, Shizi Xiao has a decisive temperament and doesn't like being manipulated by others. I beg your concubine, please don't let Shizi Xiao know about this plan of your daughter, so as not to make him unhappy."
Concubine Xiao Gui thought to herself, this woman is really treacherous!If Yichen was willing to touch women, she would have given him ten or eight concubines long ago!Now she asked her to hide the matter from Yi Chen, and she clearly wanted Yi Chen to be dissatisfied with her!
Lu Xinyan was really wronged this time, she knew what Xiao Yichen was thinking, and she didn't dare to tell him directly, if she took the initiative to say that she would give Xiao Yichen a concubine after marriage, Xiao Yichen would probably bite her to death immediately!
Concubine Xiao Gui sneered and said, "You are very calculating! You want me to be this ugly person!"
Lu Xinyan had a bitter face, "It's Xiao Shizi's temperament that the concubine was wronged, and you know it, my servant, don't dare to confront him."
Hearing this, Concubine Xiao's mood immediately improved.
The woman in front of her was hard to control at first sight, but now she knew that she was afraid of Yi Chen, which made her feel relieved.
At this time, Wu Sheng came suddenly, "My son and minister see mother and concubine."
Concubine Xiao Gui said lightly: "What are you doing here? Is there something wrong?"
Lu Xinyan glanced at Concubine Xiao unexpectedly, her detached tone was not like a mother to her son.
Wu Sheng said cautiously: "I haven't seen my mother and concubine for a few days, so I just want to come and say hello to my mother and concubine. It's nothing."
Concubine Xiao waved her hand, "If you have nothing to do, go get busy."
There was a hurt look in Wu Sheng's eyes, and it quickly disappeared, "Yes, mother and concubine, I will retire."
Before leaving, Wu Sheng winked at Lu Xinyan, obviously, he was entrusted by someone.
It seems that someone also knows that Concubine Xiao Gui is not satisfied with her, and told her two days ago that he will definitely like her, it seems that it was just to reassure her.
Lu Xinyan curled her lips, looking at the back of Wu Sheng leaving lonely, she suddenly understood why Gong Yu would never forget him.
Because of sympathy.
When Gong Yu was young, the Jiang family neglected to take care of her, resulting in a weak relationship between mother and daughter, but in the past, Gong Yu must have longed for maternal love in his heart.
The relationship between Wu Sheng and Concubine Xiao Gui also seems to be rather weak, presumably it was also caused by not getting close when they were young.
When Gong Yu met Wu Sheng when he was a child, he probably saw himself in him who longed for love and couldn't get it. Love was born of pity, and he still can't extricate himself.
But Gong Yu didn't know that the two of them had become two kinds of people.
After growing up, Gong Yu made himself dead to the Jiang family because of resentment, and his temper was narrow and cold.
And Wu Sheng, still retaining his true nature, tried his best to restore the relationship between mother and child.
Wu Sheng came suddenly, Lu Xinyan guessed who asked him to come, and Concubine Xiao naturally guessed too.
Knowing that Xiao Yichen actually valued her so much, Concubine Xiao's mood became even worse.
But the woman in front of her had a smile on her lips, sitting quietly with her hands on her lap, neither close nor distant, neither deliberate nor cold, as if she didn't take everything to heart, she was so smooth that she couldn't find any shortcomings.
The more Concubine Xiao watched, the more upset she became, and there was nothing she could do, "Go, go, I don't care what happened to you before, but in the future, if Yichen has a second heart, I will be the first to let you go!"
"Yes, the imperial concubine, the minister has no second thoughts, and the minister will resign."
It's not because Xiao Yichen is not worried about her, it's because Concubine Xiao Gui is just a paper tiger.
Of course, it could also be because she loved Xiao Yichen too much, because Xiao Yichen valued her so much, no matter how dissatisfied she was in her heart, she could bear it for the time being.
With Lu Xinyan's wild thoughts, the maids of Ganquan Palace just sent her outside Ganquan Palace, and casually pointed out the way to the palace, letting her go out by herself.
"Thank you, miss." Lu Xinyan said politely.
Concubine Xiao didn't like Lu Xinyan, and the maids of Ganquan Palace naturally didn't like her, seeing her being so polite now, she was surprised, nodded and left.
No one sent her out of the palace, so Lu Xinyan had no choice but to rely on memory, and along the way, randomly grabbed a little maid to ask for directions, and walked out of the palace like turning a maze.
As I was walking, I suddenly heard a familiar voice from the front, "Thank you, Eldest Prince, otherwise if I fall and hurt the emperor in my belly, the Empress Dowager will not let me go. "
Then there was Wuyuan's gentle voice, "Su Zhaoyi, you don't have to be polite, you're just a prisoner with a raised hand."
Lu Xinyan raised her eyes and saw that not far away, Wuyuan was letting go of Su Zhaoyi's arm. At this time, Su Zhaoyi was six months pregnant, with a big belly, a lot of plumpness, and a motherly radiance on her face.
The two also looked over at the same time, Su Zhaoyi smiled and nodded with her, "Princess, long time no see, congratulations to the title, I wish the princess and Prince Xiao a happy marriage for a hundred years in advance!"
"Thank you Su Zhaoyi." Lu Xinyan lowered her head slightly, and saluted Wuyuan: "I have met the eldest prince."
"The princess doesn't need to be too polite!" Wu Yuan raised his hand and said with a smile: "Recently, we have a predestined relationship with the princess! Is the princess going to leave the palace now or go to Chang'an?"
Lu Xinyan said embarrassedly: "My daughter is going out of the palace, but no one is leading the way, she seems a little lost."
Concubine Xiao Gui summoned her to Ganquan Palace, it was no secret in the palace, now there is no one to send her out of the palace, presumably Concubine Xiao Gui is extremely dissatisfied with her.
Wu Yuan didn't ask any further questions, and summoned a young eunuch, "Princess, this prince has something else to do, so I won't send the princess, Xiao Linzi, send the princess out of the palace."
"Yes, First Prince."
"Thank you, First Prince." Lu Xinyan said gratefully.
"Su Zhaoyi, you are pregnant with my prince's younger brother, and you will bring two more maids by your side when you come out in the future."
Su Zhaoyi nodded, "Thank the eldest prince for reminding, the eldest prince walks slowly, and the princess walks slowly."
After saying goodbye to each other, several people walked in different directions.
After leaving the palace, Lu Xinyan took out the money to thank the little eunuch, and walked towards her carriage.
There was only Uncle Tian beside the carriage, and she raised the curtain and asked, "Where is Qingtong?"
Before Uncle Tian could answer, Lu Xinyan's eyes widened, "Why are you here?"
"I asked Qingtong to go back first, it's too crowded for three people in the carriage." The man in a crescent-colored dress smiled and stretched out his hand to her, "I'm here to pick you up."
"My carriage used to take four people, where is it crowded?" Lu Xinyan handed him her hand and got on the carriage.
Xiao Yichen held her hand and pulled her to sit beside him, then said: "Then let's put it another way, Qingtong didn't want to disturb our fiancés getting along alone, so he went back first wisely."
Lu Xinyan gave him a squinting look, and wanted to withdraw her hand, but she couldn't move, so she had to let him.
Smelling the fragrance of the people around him, Xiao Yichen's voice darkened a little, "Did Auntie make things difficult for you?"
Lu Xinyan raised her eyebrows lightly, "Did you know she would make things difficult for me?"
Xiao Yichen: "...Auntie looks cold, but actually has a soft heart."
Lu Xinyan looked at him with a look that he was talking nonsense, "You are her nephew, can she still harden her heart to you?"
Xiao Yichen rolled his eyes, "You're so smart, you won't let my aunt take advantage of you to make things difficult for you."
It's not that Concubine Xiao Gui didn't catch her to make things difficult for her, but she sold him!Lu Xinyan blinked, and automatically changed the subject, "Did you read the letter I wrote yesterday? Do you have any thoughts?"
"I asked someone to investigate." Xiao Yichen said: "If it is really confirmed that it is him, then we should fight back."
"Well, I've also figured out a way to fight back." Lu Xinyan's lips curled up into a smile, which was very light and faint, but it made her eyes shine brightly. "After being passive for so long, now I finally have a chance to fight back."
"What are you going to do?"
"Me? Of course I'm fighting back with what I do best and what he wants most, how about you?"
"Same as you." Xiao Yichen half-closed his eyes, "I want to force him to show up on his own initiative, so that other factions can follow him."
Lu Xinyan smiled slowly, "I'm looking forward to his end."
The carriage stopped at this moment, Uncle Tian said: "Miss, Xiao Shizi, we're here."
Xiao Yichen was about to stand up and lift the curtain of the carriage when Uncle Tian had already lifted it, "Miss, Xiao Shizi, please."
"Thank you, Uncle Tian." Lu Xinyan, who was sitting outside, got out of the carriage first.
Suddenly, a cold light made Xiao Yichen's heart stop beating, "Zhuzhu, be careful!"
While speaking, he forcibly exercised his kung fu and slashed at the source of the cold light with his palm.
A gleaming dagger fell to the ground with a crisp sound. At the same time, Uncle Tian was shot five feet away by Xiao Yichen and fell to the ground unable to move. Xiao Yichen spit out a big mouthful of blood.
"Master!" Qi Fei exclaimed, and quickly stepped forward to support Xiao Yichen.
Xiao Yichen leaned against the side of the carriage and raised his hand to stop it, "It's a waste of his kung fu!"
Qi Fei gritted his teeth, Ruguang flew to Tian Bu's side, mercilessly abolishing Uncle Tian's kung fu, Uncle Tian snorted and fell unconscious.
All these changes happened so quickly, Lu Xinyan was dumbfounded, and she didn't come back to herself until Xiao Yichen slid limply to the ground, "Xiao Yichen!"
Xiao Yichen sat on the ground with his back leaning against the carriage, blood gushed out of his mouth, and his crescent-colored clothes were soon dyed bright red. He tried his best to pull out a smile, and vaguely looked at the man kneeling in front of him with red eyes. The woman raised her hand and comforted softly: "I'm fine..."
The hand that wanted to touch her face slipped before it touched her, and the whole person fell powerlessly to the ground.
Lu Xinyan grabbed his hand and put it on her face, crying bitterly, "Xiao Yichen, don't die!"
(End of this chapter)
"What?" Before the doctor finished speaking, Lu Congyuan was so angry that he slapped Lu Xinwan hard, "You wicked girl! How dare you... How dare you..."
Lu Xinwan just had a miscarriage last night. She was already weak, and was slapped to the ground by Lu Congyuan. She covered her bleeding mouth and sneered, "You forced me! If you didn't force me to marry, I would have hurt myself so much. , Hurt the child in my belly? That is my child, will I not feel bad? You forced all of this!"
"Naughty girl! You have the nerve to say that I forced you to do such a scandal yourself? Come on, and tie her to the sedan chair immediately! She killed the eldest great-grandson of the Kong family, and Kong Shangshu can do whatever he wants. I, Lu Congyuan, will never do that." put one's oar in!"
Lu Xinwan didn't expect this, Lu Congyuan actually wanted to marry her to Kong's family, she hugged a table leg tightly, "No, I don't want to marry, I don't want to be a widow, I don't want to!"
Several women stepped forward to pull her desperately. When Lu Ziyi, who was outside greeting the guests, found out, she rushed in immediately, kicked the women away, and hugged Lu Xinwan, "Xinwan, don't be afraid, there is big brother here, big brother Protect you!"
Lu Xinwan threw herself into his arms and burst into tears, "Brother! I don't want to be a widow! Brother, you must save me!"
Lu Congyuan pointed at Lu Ziyi, "It's wrong, you guys! Lu Ziyi, get out of the way, or I will expel you from Lu's house immediately!"
"Father, I don't care who you want to deal with, but I'm not allowed to drive brother away, otherwise I'll go with him!" Lu Xinyan stood up and said at this time.
Lu Cong is far from being a good bird, Lu Xinwan is so stupid that she takes it upon herself, she doesn't want to talk to anyone, but when Lu Ziyi is involved, she will stand up for it.
"You!" Lu Congyuan was so angry that his fingers trembled, but thinking of Lu Xinyan's identity and future husband's family, he didn't dare to point at her and curse.
At this time, a servant of the Kong family came and said a few words in the ear of Kong Tingzhen, who was so flustered that he didn't know what to do. Kong Tingzhen's complexion changed drastically, and he cupped his hands to Lu Congyuan and said, "Uncle, there is something urgent in the house, and my nephew is going back first." .”
Before Lu Congyuan could react, he squeezed out of the crowd and ran away.
"Nephew, the bride hasn't been picked up yet! Nephew..." Lu Congyuan yelled from behind, but Lu Tingzhen had already run away, together with all the people from the Kong family who were welcoming the bride, all ran away.
Lu Xinyan had a hunch that something big had happened, "Qingtong, go and check, what happened to the Kong family?"
The people who came to greet the relatives have left, but the bride is still there. I have never encountered such a situation in my life!The guests looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do for a while.
There were eye-catching quick hahas, cupped his hands and said: "Uncle, I think there is something urgent at home, so I will take my leave first, and I will come to ask you for a glass of water and wine next time."
This reminded the other guests, everyone used one or another excuse, but within a quarter of an hour, all the birds and beasts dispersed.
After all the guests left, Qingtong came back, "Miss, Master Kong is gone."
"Didn't you say you died that day?" Lu Xinyan asked in surprise.
"I heard that Young Master Kong just held his breath that day and didn't really die. After he was carried back, he invited an imperial doctor to the mansion for treatment, and used century-old wild ginseng to hang his breath. Originally, he planned to get married today, but who knows..." Qingtong suddenly After a pause, "I also heard that when Young Master Kong died, it was the time when Second Miss publicly said that he was dead. Now that Mrs. Kong knows that the child is gone, she is crying and kneeling in front of Kong Shangshu, saying that Second Miss cursed him." Kill her son, murder her grandson, and let the second lady take her life!"
Lu Xinyan heheed twice: "Lu Xinwan is asking for a dead end! If the child is still there, everything is negotiable!"
Lu Congyuan returned after seeing off the last guest, pointing to Lu Xinwan, "Come here, lock up this wicked girl!"
Lu Ziyi let go of her hand. Lu Xinwan is a woman. Although he is a big brother, he can't take care of some things, and Lu Congyuan will not execute Lu Xinwan before the Kong family has a clear answer. "Fei Cui, take good care of the second lady. Come find me!"
"Understood, young master!"
-
Ruyifang the next day.
When the shopkeeper saw a customer coming, he immediately greeted him with a smile, "Miss, what do you want to choose?"
Qingtong took out the hairpin inlaid with pink pearls, "Shopkeeper, is this hairpin made by you?"
The shopkeeper took it over and looked at it, "Exactly, I don't know girl..."
"This pearl is a little loose, please find a master to help you fix it." Qingtong said: "Our lady will wear it tomorrow, can we arrange it now?"
"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper saw the extraordinary manners of these people, and the hairpin was also made by the most expensive master in the store, so he hurriedly responded, "Miss, please wait a moment, Xiao Wu, take these ladies to the wing room for a rest." .”
A guy named Xiaowu hurried forward, "This way please."
Lu Xinyan, Qingtong, and Xiao He had just walked a few steps when Xiao He suddenly exclaimed, "Elder Prince!"
The three of them turned their heads and saw Wu Yuan walking down the stairs. They seemed to be taken aback when they saw the three of them, and then smiled gently: "Princess, Miss Qingtong, what a coincidence! Xiaohe, we met again. it is good?"
Xiao He's eyes immediately shone with dazzling brilliance, which made her girlish face even more attractive. She whispered, "I'm doing well."
Lu Xinyan nodded slightly, "Elder Prince."
Keep all etiquette simple.
"Is the princess here to choose the jewelry that will be worn by Concubine Xiao when I enter the palace tomorrow?" Wu Yuan said, "I've heard a thing or two about Concubine Xiao's preferences. If the princess doesn't dislike it, I can give you advice."
"I'm sorry, the eldest prince. I'm not here to choose jewelry. I'm going to Suyifang to do some business. I passed by here to repair the jewelry." Lu Xinyan's eyes glanced at the jewelry box in his hand unintentionally.
Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows, "The jewelry I ordered for Ah Xin a few days ago, I'm here to pick it up today. Since the Princess is not choosing jewelry, then I won't bother the Princess, and I will leave first."
"Elder Prince, go slowly."
Before leaving, Wu Yuan looked at Xiao He and said gently: "Xiao He, next time I have time to visit Ah Xin, she often talks about you."
Xiao He lowered her head shyly, "Then Xiao He will find time to bother the concubine sister."
Wuyuan left with a smile on his face.
Xiao He looked at the back until it disappeared, then tilted her head enviously and said: "The eldest prince is so kind to the concubine sister."
"You know? Where is it?" Lu Xinyan laughed.
Xiao He said: "Sister Huangfei is not in good health and doesn't like to go out. She seldom wears jewelry, but the eldest prince always makes jewelry for her."
"Always?" Lu Xinyan's smile narrowed, "How do you know that?"
"I have met the Eldest Prince twice in this Ruyifang, both of which came to pick up jewelry for the imperial concubine's sister."
"Twice? When did you meet me, why don't you know?"
"On the first day of last month, I went to see the concubine's sister the next day. Miss knows, you were the one who helped me dress up that day."
"The first day of November? Oh, I remembered, those two days I had a headache because of Uber, and I forgot all of a sudden." Lu Xinyan patted her head, "By the way, why did you come out that day?"
"In the past, the young master Ziwen had a banquet that day. He thought the wine in the mansion was not good. He said that he ordered the wine at a nearby sake shop. When I went to the kitchen, he was assigned by his servant to pick up the wine, and then I saw the eldest prince. "Xiao He wrinkled her nose, "Miss, I told you all this, why are you asking me again?"
"Hehe, miss, I've been a little forgetful lately." Lu Xinyan slapped her twice to get around.
Some things sounded like ordinary things before, but now that I think about them, I realize that they may have been carefully designed.
She tentatively asked with a little complexity: "Xiao He, do you like the First Prince very much?"
Xiao He blushed instantly, and said with two points of disappointment: "It is enough for the first prince to be accompanied by the concubine sister."
She only needs to look at him occasionally and say a few words to him like today.
Lu Xinyan thought of what Xiao Yichen said the day before yesterday, and secretly sighed.
At this time, the shopkeeper came out with the hairpin, "Miss, your hairpin is ready."
Qingtong asked: "How much money?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "The hairpins ordered in our Ruyifang have a ten-year warranty. Miss, your hairpin hasn't expired yet, so you don't need money."
"Shopkeeper, is the eldest prince a regular visitor here?"
"The First Prince will order two hairpins or hairpins from us every month, and give them to the First Prince and Concubine."
"The eldest prince has been married for more than five years. It seems that your wishful workshop has earned him a lot of money."
The shopkeeper quickly explained, "Miss, you are joking, it has been more than three years since the eldest prince came to us, and the situation in the eldest prince's residence is well known in the capital, so small shops like ours don't dare to charge more money, just to earn some money." Manual fee."
Lu Xinyan smiled apologetically, "So that's the case, but I guessed randomly, shopkeeper, I wish you a prosperous business."
"Go slowly, miss."
After leaving Ruyifang, Lu Xinyan and the others went to the Suyifang to get some down, and went to the Suyanfang to pick out a piece of good cloth, and then returned to Ankangbo Mansion.
After returning, Lu Xinyan thought about it, and wrote a letter to Xiao Yichen, "Qi Fei."
"What is the princess' order?"
"Give this letter to your young master."
When Xiao Yichen received the letter, he was full of excitement, thinking that Lu Xinyan wrote it as an invitation or something, but when he opened it, it was a confirmation of some past deeds of the people behind the scenes.
He threw the letter aside unhappily, "Qi Fei, immediately arrange for someone to investigate according to the clues provided by the princess."
"Yes, young master." Qi Fei stepped forward to reach out to get the letter, Xiao Yichen frowned, "What are you doing with the letter?"
Qi Fei: "Master, my subordinates haven't read the content yet. I don't know what clues the princess wrote. How can I arrange someone to investigate?"
"Read it here before leaving, the letter is not allowed to be taken away." Although there was nothing he wanted to read, it was the first time that woman wrote to him, so he had to keep it as a souvenir.
"Just look at it like this, don't touch it!" Xiao Yichen specifically urged.
Qi Fei rolled his eyes, his young master seemed to have forgotten who sent this letter, he had already touched it eight hundred times.
But what Qi Fei didn't know was that his young master had a different understanding from him. In his young master's eyes, what Qi Fei touched was the envelope, not the letter written by Lu Xinyan inside.
-
On the twentieth day, Lu Xinyan got up early and went out. Concubine Xiao Gui called her into the palace to meet her. As her princess, she had to go to the palace to meet the queen mother and queen first. Concubine Xiao made a good impression, so Lu Xinyan had no choice but to leave the house early.
This time I only brought Qingtong by my side, as soon as the two of them left the uncle's mansion, they were startled when they saw the person in front of the carriage, "Uncle Tian?"
Uncle Tian seems to have aged a lot in the past few days, and even his back is slightly bent.
"Miss, Miss Qingtong." Uncle Tian smiled dryly, "Ziyan and Junwu arranged other things for them today, so I came here to be lazy."
Since the establishment of Linlang Pavilion, Uncle Tian has not been a coachman for a long time, and has been busy with Linlang Pavilion.
"Then I will trouble Uncle Tian."
After entering the palace, Lu Xinyan first visited the queen mother, Wu Zhen knew that Lu Xinyan was going to enter the palace today, so in order to save her time, she waited for her at the queen mother's place early in the morning.
Wu Zhen was full of worries and doubts about the marriage offer and wanted to ask Lu Xinyan, but she also knew that today was not a good time, so she just said hello and agreed to meet outside the palace next time.
The Empress Dowager was very happy about the marriage. Anyway, Emperor Longde granted the marriage, and the wedding date was chosen. She was happy to see it come true. After asking a few words, she reluctantly asked the palace servants to take Lu Xinyan to the Queen's place. .
The queen was very upset because of Wu Wan's punishment, she didn't even see her, so she sent Lu Xinyan away.
It doesn't matter to Lu Xinyan, anyway, it's just a formality, it's better not to see each other.
The empress saved a lot of time here, and when she arrived at Concubine Xiao's Oasis Palace, it was nearly two quarters of an hour earlier.
When they arrived outside Ganquan Palace, Lu Xinyan asked the Eunuch Lin of the Empress Dowager's Longevity Palace who led her to go back first, while she walked around outside Ganquan Palace for more than a quarter of an hour before entering.
Arriving late to the agreed time has no concept of time, and arriving too early to the agreed time will put an invisible pressure on the other party. The best time is to be five to 10 minutes ahead of the agreed time, that is, not to give The other party's pressure also showed his own importance.
The maid of Oasis Palace quietly told Concubine Xiao Gui about this matter, Concubine Xiao Gui gave a light hum, her cold face still showed no expression.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Xinyan asked the maid to tell Concubine Xiao Gui, and after a while the maid came back and let her in.
Just now, she was outside, but Lu Xinyan couldn't see it. After entering, she found that Ganquan Palace was one of the most simple and simple palaces she had ever seen. The palace where the noble concubine lives.
"The minister's daughter Lu Xinyan kowtowed to concubine Xiao Guifei."
"Get up, sit down and talk." The voice was clear and light, with two points of coldness, because it had the same alienated or even slightly dissatisfied tone as when they first met someone, which made Lu Xinyan feel two points of intimacy.
"Thank you, Concubine Gui." Lu Xinyan was not polite, and sat directly on the rose chair prepared for her by the maid, but her head was lowered in a regular manner, and she did not look around.
"Look up and let me take a look."
Lu Xinyan raised her head as she said.
At first glance, the eyes are full of surprise.
The lady in the seat was dressed in a simple white palace attire, with two simple hairpins holding her jet-black hair in place. She didn't wear any powder on her face. She looked like she was only in her early twenties.
His face was like a full moon, his eyes were like mercury, and the light inside was like a cold pool in an ancient well, cold and deep. Apart from the color of his eyes, those eyes were the most similar to Xiao Yichen.
Also because of these eyes, Xiao Guifei exuded a cool and noble aura all over her body.
Concubine Xiao Gui amazed Lu Xinyan, and Concubine Lu Xinyan also amazed Concubine Xiao Gui, with black eyebrows and fine nose, bright eyes, delicate but not bewitching, all over the country.
But the difference is that Concubine Xiao is even more dissatisfied with Lu Xinyan. From the eyes of the elders, Lu Xinyan's temperament is too flamboyant and not gentle enough. .
Concubine Xiao frowned, and the frowning of a beauty is also very touching, "Princess, the emperor chose you to be Yichen's wife, I am very dissatisfied."
Compared with Xiao Yichen's arrogant and coy temperament, Concubine Xiao Gui is much more direct, although such directness is quite hurtful.
But fortunately Lu Xinyan did not marry Xiao Yichen because of love, she smiled lightly, "I have wronged Prince Xiao, but the emperor bestowed the marriage, and the courtiers have to obey!"
Concubine Xiao Gui said sharply: "The emperor bestowed the marriage? Didn't you design it?"
Lu Xin's face remained unchanged, "The imperial concubine misunderstood, the emperor's eyes are sharp, how can the courtiers dare to have other hearts?"
"This is the first time I've heard that people who fall into the hot spring water and sprain their feet need help." Concubine Xiao said slightly sarcastically.
"The imperial concubine lives in secluded places, so it's not surprising that she hasn't seen her before."
Concubine Xiao Gui rarely showed an angry look on her face, "You are so clever, how dare you talk back?"
As a noble concubine, she has a majestic aura on her body, coupled with her cold demeanor, when she was angry, the palace people around her were so frightened that they did not dare to breathe out.
Lu Xinyan was unmoved, "I know that my status is not worthy of Xiao Shizi, but the emperor offered a marriage, and my minister dare not refuse, presumably Xiao Shizi is the same! So after I plan to get married, I will immediately choose two for Xiao Shizi." Noble concubine, if you have a child, you will immediately raise her as an equal wife, as for the choice of this noble concubine, it is entirely up to you, the noble concubine!"
Concubine Xiao Gui's tone was blocked in her chest by Lu Xinyan.
I know that I am not worthy, so I am willing to help him choose a concubine, and this person can also be chosen by you!
Having said all this, what else can Concubine Xiao do?I wanted to grab Lu Xinyan's handle and try my best to make the emperor take back his life, but now Lu Xinyan's actions completely disrupted Concubine Xiao's plan.
"However, Shizi Xiao has a decisive temperament and doesn't like being manipulated by others. I beg your concubine, please don't let Shizi Xiao know about this plan of your daughter, so as not to make him unhappy."
Concubine Xiao Gui thought to herself, this woman is really treacherous!If Yichen was willing to touch women, she would have given him ten or eight concubines long ago!Now she asked her to hide the matter from Yi Chen, and she clearly wanted Yi Chen to be dissatisfied with her!
Lu Xinyan was really wronged this time, she knew what Xiao Yichen was thinking, and she didn't dare to tell him directly, if she took the initiative to say that she would give Xiao Yichen a concubine after marriage, Xiao Yichen would probably bite her to death immediately!
Concubine Xiao Gui sneered and said, "You are very calculating! You want me to be this ugly person!"
Lu Xinyan had a bitter face, "It's Xiao Shizi's temperament that the concubine was wronged, and you know it, my servant, don't dare to confront him."
Hearing this, Concubine Xiao's mood immediately improved.
The woman in front of her was hard to control at first sight, but now she knew that she was afraid of Yi Chen, which made her feel relieved.
At this time, Wu Sheng came suddenly, "My son and minister see mother and concubine."
Concubine Xiao Gui said lightly: "What are you doing here? Is there something wrong?"
Lu Xinyan glanced at Concubine Xiao unexpectedly, her detached tone was not like a mother to her son.
Wu Sheng said cautiously: "I haven't seen my mother and concubine for a few days, so I just want to come and say hello to my mother and concubine. It's nothing."
Concubine Xiao waved her hand, "If you have nothing to do, go get busy."
There was a hurt look in Wu Sheng's eyes, and it quickly disappeared, "Yes, mother and concubine, I will retire."
Before leaving, Wu Sheng winked at Lu Xinyan, obviously, he was entrusted by someone.
It seems that someone also knows that Concubine Xiao Gui is not satisfied with her, and told her two days ago that he will definitely like her, it seems that it was just to reassure her.
Lu Xinyan curled her lips, looking at the back of Wu Sheng leaving lonely, she suddenly understood why Gong Yu would never forget him.
Because of sympathy.
When Gong Yu was young, the Jiang family neglected to take care of her, resulting in a weak relationship between mother and daughter, but in the past, Gong Yu must have longed for maternal love in his heart.
The relationship between Wu Sheng and Concubine Xiao Gui also seems to be rather weak, presumably it was also caused by not getting close when they were young.
When Gong Yu met Wu Sheng when he was a child, he probably saw himself in him who longed for love and couldn't get it. Love was born of pity, and he still can't extricate himself.
But Gong Yu didn't know that the two of them had become two kinds of people.
After growing up, Gong Yu made himself dead to the Jiang family because of resentment, and his temper was narrow and cold.
And Wu Sheng, still retaining his true nature, tried his best to restore the relationship between mother and child.
Wu Sheng came suddenly, Lu Xinyan guessed who asked him to come, and Concubine Xiao naturally guessed too.
Knowing that Xiao Yichen actually valued her so much, Concubine Xiao's mood became even worse.
But the woman in front of her had a smile on her lips, sitting quietly with her hands on her lap, neither close nor distant, neither deliberate nor cold, as if she didn't take everything to heart, she was so smooth that she couldn't find any shortcomings.
The more Concubine Xiao watched, the more upset she became, and there was nothing she could do, "Go, go, I don't care what happened to you before, but in the future, if Yichen has a second heart, I will be the first to let you go!"
"Yes, the imperial concubine, the minister has no second thoughts, and the minister will resign."
It's not because Xiao Yichen is not worried about her, it's because Concubine Xiao Gui is just a paper tiger.
Of course, it could also be because she loved Xiao Yichen too much, because Xiao Yichen valued her so much, no matter how dissatisfied she was in her heart, she could bear it for the time being.
With Lu Xinyan's wild thoughts, the maids of Ganquan Palace just sent her outside Ganquan Palace, and casually pointed out the way to the palace, letting her go out by herself.
"Thank you, miss." Lu Xinyan said politely.
Concubine Xiao didn't like Lu Xinyan, and the maids of Ganquan Palace naturally didn't like her, seeing her being so polite now, she was surprised, nodded and left.
No one sent her out of the palace, so Lu Xinyan had no choice but to rely on memory, and along the way, randomly grabbed a little maid to ask for directions, and walked out of the palace like turning a maze.
As I was walking, I suddenly heard a familiar voice from the front, "Thank you, Eldest Prince, otherwise if I fall and hurt the emperor in my belly, the Empress Dowager will not let me go. "
Then there was Wuyuan's gentle voice, "Su Zhaoyi, you don't have to be polite, you're just a prisoner with a raised hand."
Lu Xinyan raised her eyes and saw that not far away, Wuyuan was letting go of Su Zhaoyi's arm. At this time, Su Zhaoyi was six months pregnant, with a big belly, a lot of plumpness, and a motherly radiance on her face.
The two also looked over at the same time, Su Zhaoyi smiled and nodded with her, "Princess, long time no see, congratulations to the title, I wish the princess and Prince Xiao a happy marriage for a hundred years in advance!"
"Thank you Su Zhaoyi." Lu Xinyan lowered her head slightly, and saluted Wuyuan: "I have met the eldest prince."
"The princess doesn't need to be too polite!" Wu Yuan raised his hand and said with a smile: "Recently, we have a predestined relationship with the princess! Is the princess going to leave the palace now or go to Chang'an?"
Lu Xinyan said embarrassedly: "My daughter is going out of the palace, but no one is leading the way, she seems a little lost."
Concubine Xiao Gui summoned her to Ganquan Palace, it was no secret in the palace, now there is no one to send her out of the palace, presumably Concubine Xiao Gui is extremely dissatisfied with her.
Wu Yuan didn't ask any further questions, and summoned a young eunuch, "Princess, this prince has something else to do, so I won't send the princess, Xiao Linzi, send the princess out of the palace."
"Yes, First Prince."
"Thank you, First Prince." Lu Xinyan said gratefully.
"Su Zhaoyi, you are pregnant with my prince's younger brother, and you will bring two more maids by your side when you come out in the future."
Su Zhaoyi nodded, "Thank the eldest prince for reminding, the eldest prince walks slowly, and the princess walks slowly."
After saying goodbye to each other, several people walked in different directions.
After leaving the palace, Lu Xinyan took out the money to thank the little eunuch, and walked towards her carriage.
There was only Uncle Tian beside the carriage, and she raised the curtain and asked, "Where is Qingtong?"
Before Uncle Tian could answer, Lu Xinyan's eyes widened, "Why are you here?"
"I asked Qingtong to go back first, it's too crowded for three people in the carriage." The man in a crescent-colored dress smiled and stretched out his hand to her, "I'm here to pick you up."
"My carriage used to take four people, where is it crowded?" Lu Xinyan handed him her hand and got on the carriage.
Xiao Yichen held her hand and pulled her to sit beside him, then said: "Then let's put it another way, Qingtong didn't want to disturb our fiancés getting along alone, so he went back first wisely."
Lu Xinyan gave him a squinting look, and wanted to withdraw her hand, but she couldn't move, so she had to let him.
Smelling the fragrance of the people around him, Xiao Yichen's voice darkened a little, "Did Auntie make things difficult for you?"
Lu Xinyan raised her eyebrows lightly, "Did you know she would make things difficult for me?"
Xiao Yichen: "...Auntie looks cold, but actually has a soft heart."
Lu Xinyan looked at him with a look that he was talking nonsense, "You are her nephew, can she still harden her heart to you?"
Xiao Yichen rolled his eyes, "You're so smart, you won't let my aunt take advantage of you to make things difficult for you."
It's not that Concubine Xiao Gui didn't catch her to make things difficult for her, but she sold him!Lu Xinyan blinked, and automatically changed the subject, "Did you read the letter I wrote yesterday? Do you have any thoughts?"
"I asked someone to investigate." Xiao Yichen said: "If it is really confirmed that it is him, then we should fight back."
"Well, I've also figured out a way to fight back." Lu Xinyan's lips curled up into a smile, which was very light and faint, but it made her eyes shine brightly. "After being passive for so long, now I finally have a chance to fight back."
"What are you going to do?"
"Me? Of course I'm fighting back with what I do best and what he wants most, how about you?"
"Same as you." Xiao Yichen half-closed his eyes, "I want to force him to show up on his own initiative, so that other factions can follow him."
Lu Xinyan smiled slowly, "I'm looking forward to his end."
The carriage stopped at this moment, Uncle Tian said: "Miss, Xiao Shizi, we're here."
Xiao Yichen was about to stand up and lift the curtain of the carriage when Uncle Tian had already lifted it, "Miss, Xiao Shizi, please."
"Thank you, Uncle Tian." Lu Xinyan, who was sitting outside, got out of the carriage first.
Suddenly, a cold light made Xiao Yichen's heart stop beating, "Zhuzhu, be careful!"
While speaking, he forcibly exercised his kung fu and slashed at the source of the cold light with his palm.
A gleaming dagger fell to the ground with a crisp sound. At the same time, Uncle Tian was shot five feet away by Xiao Yichen and fell to the ground unable to move. Xiao Yichen spit out a big mouthful of blood.
"Master!" Qi Fei exclaimed, and quickly stepped forward to support Xiao Yichen.
Xiao Yichen leaned against the side of the carriage and raised his hand to stop it, "It's a waste of his kung fu!"
Qi Fei gritted his teeth, Ruguang flew to Tian Bu's side, mercilessly abolishing Uncle Tian's kung fu, Uncle Tian snorted and fell unconscious.
All these changes happened so quickly, Lu Xinyan was dumbfounded, and she didn't come back to herself until Xiao Yichen slid limply to the ground, "Xiao Yichen!"
Xiao Yichen sat on the ground with his back leaning against the carriage, blood gushed out of his mouth, and his crescent-colored clothes were soon dyed bright red. He tried his best to pull out a smile, and vaguely looked at the man kneeling in front of him with red eyes. The woman raised her hand and comforted softly: "I'm fine..."
The hand that wanted to touch her face slipped before it touched her, and the whole person fell powerlessly to the ground.
Lu Xinyan grabbed his hand and put it on her face, crying bitterly, "Xiao Yichen, don't die!"
