After a night's rest, everyone had recovered their strength, so Emperor Zhengxuan ordered the team to continue moving forward.
Although Xie Zheng drank a lot last night, fortunately he had a good drinking capacity. In addition, Xie Wu asked Aunt Luo to cook him a sobering soup, so he immediately regained his energy after a good sleep.
On the other hand, Prince Xiao, he obviously didn't drink much last night, but when he woke up in the morning, he felt like he had a splitting headache. However, Princess Xiao, who was drunk last night, was sparkling at the moment. She even went to Xie Wu specifically to see her.
In the carriage, she complained to her about her brother's drinking problem. He had spent the night and was still rolling around in the carriage like a drunken catfish.
After hearing what Xiao Muqing said, Xie Wu just smiled and then raised her hand to pour her a cup of tea.
Xiao Muqing talked like this and ate another plate of snacks. She was already thirsty. When she saw Xie Wu thoughtfully pouring her a cup of tea, she looked at her gratefully and then followed her.
As if drinking, he raised his head and poured a cup of tea into his stomach. After drinking, he still felt that his thirst was not quenched, so he raised his hand and poured himself another cup.
After drinking three cups of tea in a row, Xiao Muqing finally felt that his throat felt more relaxed.
"Ah Wu, your carriage seems to be more comfortable to ride on than my carriage, and it seems to be less bumpy." Xiao Muqing turned over the pillow under his butt and said.
Xie Wu chuckled lightly and said with a faint smile, "Maybe today's journey will be easier than the previous two days!"
Mrs. Chen was rich. When she went to Chao'an Temple to offer incense at the beginning of the year, Mrs. Chen knew that the mountain road was difficult to travel, so she specially ordered a few carriages at a large price. These carriages looked inconspicuous, but in fact, no matter they were
The wood used in the carriage, as well as the cushions and pillows inside, were all the most expensive and best.
Mr. Chen has always been willing to spend money in this regard.
In order to make the trip more comfortable, Xie Wu specially brought out all these carriages that Chen had ordered at a large cost.
After hearing what Xie Wu said, Xiao Muqing stopped worrying about it. She picked up another piece of snacks and said while eating, "By the way, Wu, where did you go last night? Grandma Luo said you go for a walk.
Are you talking about this wilderness? Why don’t you call me when you go for a walk?"
"I would like to invite the princess to join us, but princess, have you forgotten what you looked like last night?" Xie Wu looked at Xiao Muqing and said to her jokingly.
Sure enough, after hearing Xie Wu's words, Princess Xiao blushed slightly, and she said to Xie Wu with some embarrassment, "Mainly, the wine Mi Yue brought out last night was too fragrant, and the side dishes made by Grandma Luo were also very delicious.
It’s so delicious, I couldn’t control it for a moment…”
"Then the princess didn't say anything about you when you went back last night?" Xie Wu said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Muqing immediately frowned. She stopped eating the pastries and just looked at Xie Wu with a sad face and said, "Why didn't you say anything? Otherwise, why do you think I stayed with you and didn't go back!"
Seeing Xiao Muqing's sad face, Xie Wu and Mi Yue were fine, but the broken jade made a 'pop' sound and they laughed.
Xiao Muqing turned around and gave the broken jade a fierce look, and then she said to Xie Wu again, "Ah Wu, why did you bring her! That chubby maid? Why didn't you bring her! She
If you don’t behave well, you’ll be more obedient!”
"Princess Princess, you should be glad that the girl is bringing a slave. If she is bringing Xianyue, this carriage may not be able to leave your position." Suiyu was not afraid at all, she even smiled and talked to Xiao Jun
The Lord made a joke.
Mi Yue on the side heard this and hurriedly raised her hand to gently tug at the corner of Suiyu's clothes. Finally, she did not forget to give her a look.
Touching Mi Yue's eyes, Sui Yu also felt that what she had just said was a little inappropriate, so she hurriedly made up for herself and said, "My lord, I was wrong. I will shut my mouth now."
, she quickly made a shut-up gesture, and then lowered her head.
Seeing Mi Yue's movements, Xiao Muqing couldn't help but frown. She looked at Xie Wu and said, "Ah Wu, are all the maids around you as ghostly as her?"
After listening to Xiao Muqing's words, Xie Wu also glanced at Suiyu, and then she smiled and said to Xiao Muqing, "She should be the only one like this."
"That's good. If there were a few more, I wouldn't dare to come to you." Xiao Muqing gave Suiyu a blank look, and then said to Xie Wu jokingly.
She always felt that Suiyu's character was very similar to someone else's.
Xie Wu also guessed Xiao Muqing's thoughts. She smiled, raised her hand and picked up a piece of snack and handed it to Xiao Muqing.
Xiao Muqing glanced at Xie Wu from head to toe suspiciously, but she did not accept the cake handed over by Xie Wu.
"It seems that the princess is full. In this case, I will put away the snacks." Xie Wu said and was about to put the snacks back on the plate, but as soon as she moved, one hand suddenly stretched out
Came over and took the snacks.
"Forget it, I won't ask you this time." Xiao Muqing took a bite of the snack and said bitterly.
Anyway, she had already told Ah Wu what needed to be said. If she insisted on jumping into Lu Zhan's trap...
At worst, she would carry a big knife and talk to Lu Zhan another day!
"By the way, when I came to see you this morning, I heard that you sent the two Lu brothers home last night?" Xiao Muqing suddenly remembered something else.
"Yes." Xie Wu admitted with a smile.
There were several tents between the tents at Wu'anhou Mansion and the tents at Zhennan Mansion, so she was not surprised to be seen.
"Ah Wu!" Xiao Muqing suddenly felt that the snack in her mouth no longer tasted good. She called out to Xie Wu with a sullen expression, and said, "Do you know what those people said about you this morning? They said you borrowed Lu's name.
The second drunkard deliberately approached him to seduce him!"
But Xie Wu was not angry after hearing what Xiao Muqing said. On the contrary, she smiled at her and said, "Does the princess think I am?"
Xiao Muqing hurriedly shook his head, "Of course not! When it comes to seduction, it was Lu Er who seduced you with the help of alcohol! I'm just angry! Lu Er knew these people were slanderous, yet he abducted you to him in such a ostentatious manner!
"
After hearing what Xiao Muqing said, Xie Wu smiled and stopped talking.
Maybe Lu Zhan just wants everyone to know...
She vaguely felt that besides that incident, Lu Zhan might have planned something else...
Otherwise, why would he take Princess Ning'an out? He clearly knew that traveling long distances was not good for Princess Ning'an's health!
And what he said yesterday...
After she went back, she thought about it for a long time.
In her previous life, she had always thought that Lu Zhan chose Prince Duan because Prince Duan was inferior and had no foundation. If he came to power in the future, he would have to rely on Lu Zhan for everything. In this way, Lu Zhan would not only have the power and not have to worry about the emperor's suspicion, but also avoid future dangers.
The rabbit dies and the dog is cooked, and the bird disappears and the bow is hidden.
But now that I think about it, something is wrong.
When she died, the prince and the King of Qi's party had long been uprooted, and Emperor Zhengxuan was so angry that he had a stroke and fell to the ground because of the incident between the prince and the King of Qi. At that time, she thought that King Duan would immediately ascend the throne, but it seemed that until
She died without hearing the bells from the Bell and Drum Tower ringing for the new emperor to ascend the throne.
During those days, Lu Zhan seemed to be very busy, leaving early and coming back late...
The more Xie Wu thought about it, the more she felt that Lu Zhan's behavior during that period was very strange. However, she had her revenge and her wish was fulfilled. She really had no time to care about what Lu Zhan was planning and what was happening outside...
Thinking of this, Xie Wu couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
If she had known that she could live another life, she should have put more effort into asking about it, and she would not be blind now! If King Duan did not ascend the throne later, then she would have rashly dragged the Wu'an Hou Mansion into the boat of Lu Zhan and King Duan.
Isn’t this just asking for death?
But that’s not right either!
Emperor Zhengxuan only had a few sons. Once the crown prince and King Qi died, only King Duan and King Cheng remained.
King Cheng's biological mother was a palace maid and died shortly after giving birth to Queen Cheng. King Cheng himself was not favored by Emperor Zhengxuan. At the age of twenty-four, he still lived in the remote Linxi Hall with the title of fifth prince. Later,
In order to show his benevolence, the prince took the initiative to ask Emperor Zhengxuan for the title of Prince Cheng, and gave him the palace. But even so, he had no sense of presence in the court, and he only married a princess.
The daughter of the censor, and the censor retired and returned home early.
Even though the crown prince and King Qi fell, King Cheng did not take advantage of the situation to make a comeback. Therefore, such King Cheng could not compete with King Duan no matter what.
But if it is not King Cheng, then it can only be King Duan who ascends the throne. Perhaps Lu Zhan was busy with King Duan's accession to the throne during that time?
Just when Xie Wu was deep in thought, her arm was suddenly pulled.
"Ah Wu, what are you thinking about? I've been calling you for so long and you haven't heard me yet?" Xiao Muqing frowned and looked at Xie Wu.
"Sorry, I was thinking about something just now." Xie Wu looked at Xiao Muqing apologetically and said.
"Thinking about something? What are you thinking about?" Upon hearing Xie Wu's words, Xiao Muqing became interested.
Xie Wu smiled and shook her head, "It's nothing. Princess, you've finished your snacks!"
Upon hearing Xie Wu's words, knowing that she didn't want to talk about this topic, Xiao Muqing's face fell. She pouted and said, "If you don't want to talk, why don't you change the subject? How can I eat this snack well!"
"
"By the way, I bumped into someone when I came here this morning, guess who it is?" Xiao Muqing's eyes suddenly lit up again.
"Who is it?" Seeing Xiao Muqing take the initiative to change the topic, Xie Wu also laughed in agreement.
"Your aunt! Madam Dingguo Duke's Crown Prince!" Xiao Muqing said forcefully through gritted teeth.
Xie Wu couldn't help but move her eyebrows slightly.
She remembered that when she went to greet Xie Min last night, every word she spoke was full of testing. She seemed to have concluded that she had something to do with Lu Zhan, and there was even a little anger in her tone.
Thinking of this, Xie Wu couldn't help but smile at Xiao Muqing and said, "Princess, what did my aunt tell you?"
Xiao Muqing had expected Xie Wu to ask this question a long time ago. She smiled and blinked at Xie Wu, and then said word by word, "Sorry, I didn't hear clearly. What did you just ask me?"
