Wang Xiu opened her mouth slightly, her expression changing from stunned to panicked.
In my memory, even if the eldest princess' life was hanging by a thread when she gave birth, she had never been as helpless as she is today.
Wang Xiu's heart trembled, and she was wondering if there was something hidden behind the matter? But at this moment, Aunt Lu's voice came from outside the door and asked: "Your Highness, Mrs. Lu, has something happened?"
The eldest princess looked at Wang Xiu blankly, her eyes turned red, and tears rolled down her face.
Wang Xiu's thoughts were instantly confused. She took a deep breath and calmly said to Aunt Lu outside: "His Highness suddenly remembered that His Highness the Crown Prince is leaving tomorrow, so he may have to prepare some cakes to eat on the way."
Grandma Lu at the door suddenly realized something and said quickly: "Look at my memory, I should have prepared this."
"Your Highness and Mrs. Lu, please rest quickly. I will go to the kitchen and watch the cook cook."
Wang Xiudao: "Make a few more dishes and wait until dawn before steaming them to avoid them getting cold after a while."
Grandma Lu responded and left quickly.
Wang Xiu held her breath and concentrated, and didn't relax until she couldn't hear the footsteps of Grandma Lu.
At the same time, the eldest princess also wiped away her tears.
She asked Wang Xiudao: "Who else have you told this matter?"
Wang Xiu shook his head: "I only told your cousin-in-law. I originally wanted her to tell her family, but she didn't seem to dare."
The eldest princess' eyes changed, and she quickly said: "We can't talk about this matter, you don't know, there are too many things involved."
After the eldest princess finished speaking, she immediately got up and put on her clothes.
Wang Xiu wanted to help her, but she immediately said: "You go to bed first and leave me alone. I may not be back tonight."
Wang Xiu was afraid that she was looking for help, so he quickly said: "If I knew the inducing labor medicine that the late empress drank, I might be able to know..."
The eldest princess held Wang Xiu's hand and interrupted her with a solemn expression: "It's not about the medicine now. I haven't figured out the details yet, so I can't tell you yet."
"Be obedient and go to bed early."
After the eldest princess finished speaking, she hurried out.
Wang Xiu followed her out and saw that she was going to the palace alone, without even Aunt Lu and Qiao Chuan.
Wang Xiuyi was at the door and suddenly realized that the matter might be more serious than she thought. A pregnant woman died on the day of delivery. If her life and death were no longer a mystery, then the only possibility is that the child she gave birth to... was a mystery.
Question...
Wang Xiu took a deep breath, turned around and went back to the house. After getting dressed, she put on her cloak and went to the stable at the door.
Wang Lin and others were very surprised when they saw her coming, and quickly made a place for her.
And asked: "I just heard that the eldest princess went to see His Highness the Crown Prince. Why did you come out too?"
Wang Xiu took the chopsticks to eat the meat and said calmly: "I'm afraid that Her Highness the Princess will be too cold when she comes back soon, so wait for her."
Wang Lin and Ji Yunwei heard this without any suspicion. Only Song Muting glanced at Wang Xiu and saw a hint of sadness on her face, worried that the eldest princess had just quarreled with her.
But the eldest princess left without raising a crowd, it seemed that was not the case.
Song Muting poured tea for Wang Xiu and said, "Yun Hong still didn't say when he would be back?"
Wang Xiu shook his head: "I wrote a letter during the Chinese New Year, so I said it would be soon. There has been no news recently, so I guess the letter has been sent to the capital."
Everyone knew in their hearts that Lu Yunhong would never do it with his intelligence.
But at the end of the year, it was normal for some letters to be delayed, so I comforted her and told her to wait.
Wang Xiu nodded and told them to continue eating and drinking without worrying about her.
However, Wang Xiu only sat for a while before getting up and leaving, because she wanted to visit the palace, but going so late would definitely disturb the prince and the eldest princess.
Just as she was standing on the road hesitating, she suddenly heard a voice behind her saying, "Are you worried about Pei Shan, sister-in-law?"
Wang Xiu turned around and found that it was Song Muting.
When she heard this voice, she thought it was Ji Yunwei at first.
With Lu Yunhong away, it seems that only Song Muting is more attentive.
Wang Xiu didn't want Song Muting to get involved, so he said, "It's okay. I just came out to get some air. You should go back quickly."
Song Muting did not leave, but said: "It's so late, it's not suitable for my sister-in-law to go to the palace to find anyone, but I am different, I can go to Pei Shan."
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. No matter what happens, the Song family will advance and retreat with the Lu family."
This was Song Muting's determination. He wanted to gain Wang Xiu's approval before Lu Yunhong came back.
In this way, when he proposes marriage, there will be less resistance.
He also had his own selfish motives, but it was undeniable that, thinking that the burden of the Lu family was on Wang Xiu's shoulders, he also felt lucky for the sisters Lu Yunyuan and Lu Yunzhu.
But there are some things that cannot be taken on by one person, and Wang Xiu needs help.
Wang Xiu was determined when he saw Song Muting, and he understood his intention after a moment's thought.
She smiled and asked: "Because of Yunyuan?"
Song Muting rarely blushed, and said a little embarrassedly: "Yes, I hope my sister-in-law will make it happen."
After saying that, he bowed to Wang Xiu very solemnly.
Wang Xiudao: "It doesn't matter if I agree, Yunyuan has to make her own decision for her life-long events."
Song Muting was overjoyed and said: "I know, I will work hard."
Wang Xiu nodded, seeing that he was a sensible person, and said, "Go back, this matter is beyond your control."
After Wang Xiu finished speaking, she went straight back to the villa. She decided to wait for the eldest princess to come back, so as not to cause a rift in the friendship between the two.
Song Muting stood there and suddenly felt that he was really "useless". He felt a little embarrassed, so he went back after blowing the cold wind for a while.
…
In the palace, the prince was surprised by the arrival of the eldest princess.
He had already washed up and changed into a dark-colored straight skirt. Because he heard that the person coming was the eldest sister, he didn't change anything else. He just put on a silver long-breasted gown embroidered with green bamboo.
When I met the eldest sister, I found that she was also dressed in similar clothes, and I couldn't help laughing for a while.
He even joked: "Eldest sister, are you reluctant to leave me?"
The eldest princess looked at his face carefully, and the palace people said from childhood that they looked very similar. If one was not a boy and the other was a girl, they might look exactly the same.
But then she realized that the prince and her had different facial shapes.
The prince's profile is gentle, his face is flawless, his eyes are like stars, graceful and handsome, just like the bright moon in the sky.
Both her outline and her eyebrows are particularly delicate. Although they are both beautiful, it can be seen that she is still very different from the prince.
But how come they have been twins for so many years, yet... no one has ever told the truth?
Unknowingly, the eldest princess's hand touched the prince's cheek, and tears gradually filled her eyes.
The prince was a little stunned at first, then frowned, grabbed the eldest princess's hand and said, "What's wrong, eldest sister? Is someone bullying you?"
"Who is it?"
The eldest princess smiled and shook her head, but tears slowly fell from her eyes.
