In the carriage, Lu Yaoyao frowned slightly when he heard the words of the people outside.

She still didn't like seeing Prince Ning very much. Even though Prince Ning took the initiative to show his kindness many times later, once she understood some things, she couldn't go back no matter how much she tried to make amends.

"What's been going on with Prince Ning these days?"

It seemed that she hadn't paid much attention to other things since Zhen Guogong was defeated and returned to Beijing.

Therefore, she was not clear about Prince Ning's current situation.

"He is in a worrying situation now."

Although Qiu Yu has always been by Lu Yaoyao's side, Qiu Shuang would receive some news from Hou Si from time to time.

Although she didn't report it to Lu Yaoyao, Qiu Yu still knew about it, just thinking that if the young lady asked, she would be able to respond easily.

No, she briefly explained Prince Ning's current situation.

"How do you say that he has been given up by Xirong now?"

Not long after, the carriage followed the person who stopped it and headed towards a teahouse called Yimingxuan not far away.

After her words fell, Qiu Yu opened the curtain slightly and said something to the coachman outside.

Therefore, he should not want Lu Yaoyao to support him in continuing the fight.

"Princess, how is the construction of your villa going? I haven't been there for a long time."

"Coupled with the military power in the hands of the Duke of Zhenguo."

Fortunately, Mr. Zhou spoke at this time.

After saying that, she turned to Qiu Yu and asked, "Has anything big happened in the capital recently?"

If you don't have any serious rights as an emperor, but you work tirelessly every day to do what an emperor does, you will naturally become a little tired of the throne and want to give up.

But Zhou Xianwen didn't look at him or make any move to him.

As soon as Mr. Zhou saw Lu Yaoyao, he quickly saluted. Prince Ning smiled and said, "I haven't seen the princess for a while. I heard that you were back in Beijing, so I took the liberty to invite you. Please forgive me."

"Yes, Xirong initially fell in love with him, wasn't it because he was expected to become the next king of Dongzhou?"

Prince Ning stood up immediately, looking a little excited.

The former Emperor Hongwen was just a puppet from the moment he came to power, sitting on the throne for nothing, but he never enjoyed the emperor's feeling of super power that dictates a person's life.

Seeing his master and servant saying this, Prince Ning was a little embarrassed. He really didn't know what to say about his things.

"Since the princess has asked, I will not hide it."

Seeing him like this, Mr. Zhou raised his hand and pressed it lightly to signal him to relax.

What's more, if Prince Ning suddenly wants to see her, she will definitely be curious about what Prince Ning is going to do.

She roughly analyzed Prince Ning's current plan from Mr. Zhou's story. He did not intend to fight for his position, but only wanted to be stable.

The door was pushed open.

"I see, I think His Highness Prince Ning is overthinking."

"You are the emperor's son and you have done nothing wrong. What are you worried about?"

Prince Ning is definitely not destined for the throne.

But things are different now. Dongzhou's biggest trouble has been eliminated, and the power in the hands of the emperor has been greatly enhanced.

"It's still the same, not much has changed. If the prince wants to go, he can do it at any time."

"Now Duke Zhen Guo is in a state of decline. He has lost his military power and is under house arrest. There are rumors circulating that Duke Zhen Guo may not live long."

"The princess should know about my recent situation, right?"

"I don't dare to take it seriously. I have met His Highness Prince Ning."

However, she did not fully believe in this agreement. The throne could only be given up at the drop of a hat.

"Then there's Mr. Lao."

"Come in."

Hearing this, Mr. Zhou smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, she's back."

"I don't know, slave, but I have always been by your side to serve you."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao showed doubts and asked curiously, "Situation? Your Highness, Prince Ning, is your life not going well?"

"Who is this gentleman?"

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao frowned again, thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Probably not."

"Princess, please."

Lu Yaoyao nodded. She still knew a little about the ownership of the throne. If the agreement between Emperor Hongwen and Prince Jin was followed, then the throne would belong to Prince Jin in the future.

"You also know that I have lived outside the city for a long time and don't pay much attention to the capital."

He even poured her a cup of tea himself.

"But Prince Ning does not have the support of the Duke of Zhenguo, and is not favored by the emperor. Naturally, he has no hope of the throne. Xirong cannot see hope, so why not give up on him?"

"I've met Princess Wanfu."

"Everyone is here to invite me. Let's meet him. I happen to be curious as to what he wants from me."

"Does he want you to be his new supporter?"

King Ning quickly introduced Mr. Zhou.

"Then will you see me?"

In the private room on the third floor of Yimingxuan, Prince Ning wiped away the decadent feeling of the day and drank tea leisurely. However, this only seemed leisurely, but there was anxiety and expectation deep in his eyes.

Some things make people obsessed. Who knows if Emperor Hongwen would be obsessed with them?

Although she is still not sure who the throne belongs to, one thing is certain.

After a few pleasantries, Lu Yaoyao lost his patience and asked directly, "Your Highness, Prince Ning, did you ask me to come here just to talk about my affairs at the villa?"

Although Prince Ning is a little naive, that's because he was protected too well when he was a child. In fact, he is not stupid. He should know very well that Lu Yaoyao doesn't want to see him.

No, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a knock on the door of the private room.

"Just come down and speak for the princess."

He knew Lu Yaoyao to some extent. As long as her bottom line was not touched, she was still very easy-going. If he basically asked for a meeting, she would more or less agree.

When her voice fell, the smile on Prince Ning's face froze slightly, and he subconsciously looked at Mr. Zhou beside him.

"Just do what you should do as usual, why bother scaring yourself?"

"Mr. Zhou, do you think she will come?"

Prince Ning nodded repeatedly and suppressed his excitement.

Prince Ning quickly raised his hand to excuse him and invited her to sit down.

Lu Yaoyao nodded and stepped into the private room.

Soon Mr. Zhou explained Prince Ning's situation first, which was roughly the same as what Qiu Yu had said in the carriage before.

"Miss, tell me, what does it mean that Prince Ning wants to see you now?"

Lu Yaoyao gave a gift.

Lu Yaoyao was still somewhat optimistic about his idea, but he also had reservations.

"The princess doesn't know something. Because of the relationship with Duke Zhen, the prince is now worried that the emperor will think of him."

"I want to do something, but I am afraid that if I do too much, I will arouse the emperor's suspicion."

"Yes, Princess, I am in a dilemma right now. If I don't do anything, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me in the future. If I do, I'm afraid that my father will think that I have second thoughts."
